Stabilizing Madness

Chapter 29: Rule Breaker

Views:

"Why was Xu Qingran scheduled to play in such a terrible match?"

People around were whispering.

The captain in charge of arranging the matches backstage was shocked and angry: "What's going on? Didn't we agree to put Xu Qingran in AS's match?"

The others looked at each other, equally confused: "I don't know, I remember it should be in session 92..."

"Semi-manual arrangement, could it be that something went wrong accidentally?"

"Alas, there are tens of thousands of people, and we have to manually adjust the system matching differences. If we are not careful, it may..."

"It's impossible to get to field number 2!"

The atmosphere was tense when someone suggested, "The final assessment is about to begin, and it's probably too late to readjust. He's also a special guest anyway, and it's unfair to others to have this status in the AS field, so why not let him have a try?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the person who was speaking.

The man paused, and then reminded in a courteous tone: "Besides, Xu Qingran is a hot figure now, and the shows he is in will attract a lot of attention. There are people coming to the final assessment today, so wouldn't it be great to provide them with an exciting and topical 'performance'?"

"When the higher-ups ask about it, Xu Qingran's identity and project performance are well-founded, so we can't be blamed. Besides, this is just a small assessment to celebrate the start of school. There is no substantial reward or influence. But if the school is praised by those dignitaries, the dean and others will be even happier."

The people present also thought it made sense.

Ninety percent of them had heard about Xu Qingran and laughed at him. Most of them did not have his background or special treatment, and they were somewhat suspicious and unbalanced when they saw that he could get excellent benefits and college recognition when he was still unsettled.

That’s right, the talents in their military academy don’t care about your outside experience, what they value is your strength.

If you, Xu Qingran, can't even demonstrate suppression power apart from the test of mental strength, how can you become a specially invited student!

Perhaps the higher-ranking Master Chief has similar ideas.

Anyway, until the final assessment project officially began, no one went backstage to inquire about the mistakes.

There were hundreds of examinations in total, and the total number of venues was almost half of the total number of examinations, so they were divided into upper and lower venues. The odd-numbered examinations started first, and the largest number of onlookers gathered in front of the large screen that broadcast the No. 1 examination live.

Xu Qingran was watching too.

I am mainly curious about another E-type person of the same period.

In addition to the open space for fighting, there are also many metal platforms that can be climbed and walked on. The platform can lead to the highest point on the central platform, where there is an iron box locked. When there are 20 people left on the field, colorful flowers will be lowered from inside, and whoever grabs it first will be the first place in this game.

As soon as the signal to start the assessment sounded, twenty or thirty people on the field rushed towards a girl in the center of the field.

She was a girl with a short bob haircut, slender but strong arms and legs, and a standard model height and figure. She was very agile, and the moment she was touched by others, she used her jumping power to jump out of the attack range, and even turned around and kicked away several people who were trying to attack her from behind.

"Ling Yuege, 25 years old, E-type, Golden Wing Battalion, ordinary resident of the VG Virgo Department."

"Three years ago, my relatives sent me to the Evil Tower. At the beginning of the year, I was detained on the 17th floor of Tower 2. Unfortunately, there was an equipment failure on the 17th floor, and all the E-types on the entire floor rushed out of the cells. Ling Yuege fought his way out of the encirclement, and calmly restrained himself from attacking the Evil Tower staff."

"Finally, I took this achievement and asked the head of the evil tower whether she could graduate successfully."

Xu Qingran looked at it and suddenly laughed.

The E-types in this world who can walk out of the evil tower are really very unique. They should all be the top personnel of the empire in the future, just like Shen Tingyu, right

He seemed to be able to understand the feelings of Type E people when they see their own kind.

Just think about how exciting it would be to pin them all to the ground and beat them.

Ling Yuege performed very well.

Whether dealing with an attack on the ground or using the flexible movement of metal platforms, it perfectly demonstrates that even if the E-type does not use mental power, its energy burst and physical fitness are still top-notch.

Xu Qingran was observing, observing her fighting habits, the type of positional warfare she was best at, and her explosive power.

He also has no formal training, but he has obviously taught himself and has some methods. If I fight him in his current body, I should be able to fight him on equal terms.

system:"… "

Fortunately, its host did not have the habit of bragging out loud, otherwise it would have caused a riot on the scene.

The battle in field 1 was exciting, but the outcome was not in suspense.

In addition to her physique, Ling Yuege also had the advantage of having grown up in a more severe environment. Even when the 10 3S-level people decided to team up to get rid of her first, she still chose to avoid fighting and use her flexible climbing and jumping abilities to grab Caihua first.

However, there was an accident at field No. 7.

There was a 3S-level student who had already been severely injured by an opponent, and was accidentally injured by the opponent's burst of mental power. Although it was not too serious, it was still a violation and attracted everyone's attention.

However, the student who violated the rules was not punished in the end.

Because that person is Type D Lin Qianmu.

Xu Qingran also just realized that as the only high-level D-type ruler among his classmates, his importance was above the minor rules. Unless he had committed murder or jeopardized the rights and interests of the military academy, his violations could be relaxed as appropriate.

"How strange! Lin is usually very gentle..."

"Could it be that I was too nervous and therefore lost control?"

When the people around heard the news, they all discussed it in low voices.

The venue used by Group 1 was quickly cleaned, and the broadcast called for Group 2 to enter.

Xu Qingran came to the huge venue used exclusively for assessments.

The system trembled for him: "Although the use of mental power is prohibited, it is said that these ruthless people really fight when they fight. Anyway, as long as they don't beat people to the point of near death, it is not considered a violation. Is this really okay, host?"

There were only fifty or sixty people in the Evil Tower Arena at that time!

Xu Qingran's focus was on another aspect: "It's not a violation if you don't beat him to death?"

so good.

This is indeed a paradise.

There were other people coming in one after another.

Someone bumped into him from behind. When he turned around, the other person yelled at him fiercely, "Go ahead if you want to. Don't block the way!"

After saying that, as he walked past him and went inside, he mocked his friend next to him: "A-level people have never seen the world. They are hesitant to fight."

"If we hit him too hard, will he make this young master cry?"

“It’s hard to say, hahahahaha!”

Several people laughed arrogantly.

The entrance to the venue was clearly wide enough to accommodate more than ten or twenty people entering side by side, and the flow of people around was not so large that it was impossible to get through. It was obviously done on purpose.

Xu Qingran glanced at the left arm of the man who hit him and noted the scar on it.

With the experience of fighting in the arena, Xu Qingran found a corner and stood still after entering. There was also a girl with pink-gray hair nearby. She glanced at him coldly, then held her hairband and started to tie her princess-cut long hair into a high ponytail.

Silver Dragon Camp, the daughter of the Ni family, Ni Xiaoyuan.

The top student in the 3S class, he had a talent for sports since childhood. He started learning various fighting martial arts at the age of six. He rejected the special invitation letter from Grantis University and chose the elimination method of public assessment. He was finally admitted to the military academy with excellent results among the top five.

She is a girl with a very strong character.

The system said cheerfully, "When you were a kid, you were once arranged to go on a blind date with someone, but you offended the person because you were not good at speaking, and he carried you over his shoulder and threw you to the ground. Since then, you have been afraid whenever you hear the name Ni Xiaoyuan."

Xu Qingran: “…”

Ah, this.

The one who took the initiative to approach was Ji Huaixiu.

He hadn't satisfied his desire to beat him down in the cafeteria that day, and now that he finally had the chance to do it openly, he certainly wouldn't let it go.

In addition, there were many 3S-level classmates who looked at him. But from their eyes, it seemed that they were just curious and did not regard him as a difficult opponent. They were more concerned about people of the same level.

The members of Site 2 entered the venue quickly.

The gate of the venue was closed by the system settings, and the large screen high up also lit up the rules and the number of people remaining on the field who had not been eliminated.

[Rules of this examination:

1. It is forbidden to use mental power to attack students in the same group. Once discovered, you will be immediately removed from the examination room and your score will be invalidated.

2. It is forbidden to use any dangerous tools to participate in the assessment. Once discovered, the person will be immediately removed from the examination room and the scores of all assessment items will be halved.

3. It is forbidden to beat students in the same group with the intention of killing them. Once discovered, a yellow card warning will be issued, with a maximum of three times. Repeat offenders will be immediately removed from the examination room and their scores for all examination items will be reduced by half.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the people scattered on the field rushed together like wild beasts out of a cage.

There is no doubt that Ji Huaixiu, who was satisfied with the fact that Xu Qingran was the only one on the list, would definitely target him first. However, after the competition started, Xu Qingran turned around and walked in a certain direction. When he wanted to chase him, a dozen 3S-level classmates suddenly rushed in front of him.

Those who can enter field No. 2 are no ordinary people. They are very arrogant and not afraid of the type of person their opponent is.

What's more, if we don't take mental strength into consideration, this is their only great chance to defeat Type E, so they must join forces to get rid of Ji Huaixiu, the most difficult person in their minds, first!

As for Xu Qingran, where is he going

Of course, he went to find the target that he had set before he started.

The few people who laughed at Xu Qingran before entering the venue were all double S-level. Their target was students of the same level. When the two groups met, the atmosphere was tense, and the man with the scar on his arm was suddenly poked in the back.

He turned around in confusion, and before he could see the person coming, he was punched in the nose.

"Damn it!" the man who was beaten wailed angrily.

The person who did it knew how to control the strength very well. He concentrated all his body's strength on his punch and hit the opponent's face at the most vulnerable point with great precision, sending the person into a state of panic.

"Who is so blind as to sneak attack your uncle..." He covered his aching eye and used the other to search for his target.

Then I saw Xu Qingran, who was fair and had a soft face.

The man remembered this young master, and he had just laughed at him with his friends. But he didn't expect that this young master had the courage and boldness of a newborn calf, and dared to take the initiative to put himself in front of them.

The three or four people who had exchanged glances with them and were about to fight also looked unhappy: "Boy, we were here first!"

Xu Qingran lowered his head and adjusted the glove on his left hand, tightening the top wrist buckle, then raised his eyes and said, "No need to fight, you can all come together."

"… "

Is this the person who looks down on them, the double S? !

He is an A-level person, why

Faced with Xu Qingran's provocation, the grown men could not bear it and rushed towards him with red eyes. At the same time, there were people who had a resounding reputation before entering school and had also achieved good results in the previous project evaluation.

This is how the big fight began.

Outside the venue, in the auditoriums where students who had finished their assessments or had not yet entered the examination halls gathered, many people were paying attention to Session 2. Ling Yuege, who was sweating all over, drank water from a bottle while also focusing on the big screen that was broadcasting Session 2.

She originally wanted to see Ji Huaixiu, her biggest rival.

In the end, like everyone else, she was gradually attracted to the brown-haired boy in a corner.

Xu Qingran is really recognizable.

Even if the camera zoomed in, everyone could see him at a glance. The reason why he quickly attracted everyone's attention was not only because of his unexpectedly superb skills, but mainly because of -

Only five minutes into the assessment, he received a yellow card!

Anyone who has been watching him from the beginning will notice that he got in front of a few double S players early in the morning, and after provoking them, he started the 1VN mode. Many people outside the field were originally worried about him, but they found that he was as flexible as a loach. Not only did several people get nothing when they got together to fight him, but they also always hurt their allies by mistake.

Therefore, the original 7V1 gradually turned into a melee due to these occasional frictions and collisions.

Only Xu Qingran, who had a clear goal, grabbed the man he had provoked at the beginning and beat him to death. His eyes were as cold as a messenger of death crawling out of hell. He threw the man who looked heavier than him around like a baby, kicked him in the bones, punched him in the face, and it was more like revenge than a fight.

Onlookers: …

Apart from anything else, that person must have offended him, right

In the end, he broke the man's ribs with one kick, knocking him out, and at the same time he received a yellow card from the referee.

Xu Qingran silently watched the arrogant man being carried away on a stretcher. He looked innocently at the referee who gave him a yellow card and said, "I was just playing normally. I didn't expect his physical fitness to be so weak."

During the few months he stayed in the Shen family, he was not enjoying himself.

Knowing that it was useless to rely on mental strength to support this body, he arranged hellish physical training for himself every day. There was a small hill behind Shen Tingyu's house, with steep cliffs and mountain roads, which were suitable for climbing and parkour training.

Combined with various physical training indoors, the body wearing the clothes does not look like it has gained much weight, but in fact it has improved a lot compared to when it was first put on, and the abdominal muscles are gradually taking shape.

The most taboo thing on the battlefield is to underestimate the enemy. No one present looks up to him.

Xu Qingran's movements were neat, precise, and agile, and even his reactions and counterattacks against the enemy were very quick. Even if he encountered a move he had never seen before, as long as he was patient and observed, he would soon find the flaw.

Ling Yuege held the water bottle still, her expression calm, but her grey eyes were filled with disbelief.

This was a reaction that only someone with a lot of fighting experience would have! She even wanted to say that this was a reaction that only someone who had been thrown into a harsh environment like the evil tower and had been struggling for more than a decade could have!

But, she remembered that this person seemed to be the notoriously weak Master Xu from the Silver Dragon Camp

What kind of situation could cause such a big change in a person in such a short period of time? Or were those rumors just hearsay, and Young Master Xu was not as fragile as the rumors said

The other students who were watching the live broadcast of Field 2 gradually fell silent.

Xu Qingran had some ability, as he received three yellow cards within the first ten minutes of the match, and all three were carried out horizontally. He was reckless and didn't know how to control his strength, but in the thirty minutes after he used up all his yellow card opportunities, he didn't make any mistakes!

They gradually came to their senses.

Could it be that Young Master Xu simply wanted to take the test by stepping on the limits of the rules? !

The point is, how can he, an A-level person, defeat those with double S or even some triple S levels

Yes, anyone who has faced Xu Qingran will find that although his physical fitness is not as good as theirs in all aspects, it is very difficult to meet him in such a spacious venue. They spent a lot of effort but did not cause any damage to Xu Qingran. Instead, he attacked them from all kinds of tricky angles.

Each time he struck, he would hit the vital points, or the points that could cause them the most pain. The pain would slow down the nerve reaction, which would provide him with more opportunities to attack, and finally he would be knocked down without knowing why.

An hour passed by unknowingly.

Xu Qingran kicked the man in front of him in the vital part, then grabbed his collar and punched him in the face, knocking him unconscious and forcing him to raise his hands to beg for mercy: "I, I'm done, it's over."

Finally, the referee who had been keeping a close eye on Xu Qingran the whole time rushed over and helped him away.

The system couldn't help but ask, "Host, I noticed that you really like to punch others in the face. Is this a special hobby or habit of yours?"

Xu Qingran: “?”

"Didn't you say that when we traveled through time? You said we would work hard to fight back and slap the scum in the face."

"I hit him in the face."

system:"… ?"

It shouldn't have asked this question.

The huge venue suddenly became very quiet.

The remaining number of people on the big screen changed from 21 to 20.

Almost everyone who remained on the field was sweating profusely.

Xu Qingran's hair on his forehead and temples were wet with sweat. The few people looked at each other from a distance. Several top players like Ji Huaixiu and Ni Xiaoyuan were still there, and the remaining 19 people were most surprised that he could still stay on the field.

Xu Qingran was very calm and even thought that such a result was normal.

He is very confident in himself now.

When he was nine years old, he inherited the lightning power that did not originally belong to him, and he was left alone.

At that time, his temperament changed drastically, and after two years of fighting with others and monsters, he realized that fighting with strength and superpowers alone was meaningless. In order to become a stronger existence, to continue to survive and protect his superpowers, he would learn various fighting techniques from all available resources wherever he went.

Then put them into actual practice, improve yourself, and absorb other people's ideas.

For more than ten years, he never stopped.

The pain he endured through countless days and nights and all the survival skills engraved in his bones are the basis of his self-confidence.

The iron box hanging from the roof of the venue began to smoke with a "puff" sound, and then a colorful flower ball hung by a rope fell down. It was about the size of a fist, with a long ribbon tail, swaying slightly in the air.

As their eyes changed, the remaining twenty people climbed onto the metal platform almost at the same time and began to run towards the highest iron frame in the center. Someone soon came to stop Xu Qingran. It was Ji Huaixiu, who had not had a chance to fight him since entering the arena.

Ji Huaixiu threw a punch at him as soon as he came up, but he dodged it by turning his head. The others who were rushing to the platform also started fighting each other on the way.

Another brawl.

Thanks to Ji Huaixiu, the two of them eliminated several of their 3S group members in the fight.

The main reason was that some people wanted to fight with Xu Qingran, but they were all stopped and beaten by Ji Huaixiu, who threatened them like a mad wolf: "Get lost, he is my prey!"

Xu Qingran would definitely not let them go. While Ji Huaixiu was distracting them, he found an opportunity to secretly hit them a few more times and directly eliminated them.

In the blink of an eye, there were only eight people left on the field.

These eight people fought for another thirty minutes without a clear winner. Every time someone climbed onto the elevated platform to grab the colored flowers, he would be pulled down in time by the people on the other side.

The students watching the game outside were extremely anxious.

This was the most tense and longest match of the day so far!

While everyone else was scrambling for the colorful flowers, Ji Huaixiu only had eyes for Xu Qingran.

Then, Xu Qingran was finally angered by him, staring at him coldly with sinister eyes, and suddenly started the terrible counterattack mode after laughing. Ji Huaixiu was just accidentally taken advantage of by him because of a moment of negligence, and found that he had no chance to fight back.

Xu Qingran thought, it was annoying that the remaining few were secretly teaming up to deal with him, and this Ji Huaixiu was like a dog-skin ointment and couldn't be shaken off. Very good, his patience has reached its limit.

A second before Ji Huaixiu was thrown off the elevated platform, he heard Xu Qingran's cold voice floating past his ear: "Ji Huaixiu, you have held on until now, your strength should be almost exhausted, right?"

Then, the whole person fell backwards to the ground.

Indeed, from the moment the horn sounded, most of the people on the field were staring at him, and most of his energy was spent on dealing with those people. He thought Xu Qingran had been dealing with him without fighting back because he knew he couldn't beat him.

But he didn't expect that he was just waiting for an opportunity.

As soon as Ji Huaixiu fell down, Xu Qingran on the shelf also jumped down and kicked him several more times without mercy, each kick carrying deep resentment of being harassed by him. Finally, when the referee saw that the situation was not right and walked towards them, he stopped and squatted down.

"Kid." Xu Qingran pinched his jaw hard, "Without mental strength, you can't beat me."

Ji Huaixiu's face turned red with anger.

He thought, Xu Qingran is only one year older than him, why does she speak to him in such a mature tone

The person who lowered his eyes to look at him suddenly smiled again, and the smile that flashed across his eyes was cold but also a bit coquettish.

The clear and smooth voice said, "Of course, even if you use your mental power in the future, you still won't be able to beat me."

After saying that, he pushed Ji Huaixiu's face away.

The referee came to check on Ji Huaixiu in time, but the latter watched Xu Qingran stand up, turned his head to look at the metal platform full of people, and then turned back to ask him meaningfully: "Do you know how a qualified E-type should go crazy?"

Ji Huaixiu was still in shock when he saw a faint strange light flashing under Xu Qingran's deep amber eyes.

!

Mental strength

Ni Xiaoyuan and the other five people were still struggling on the elevated platform.

She was the person closest to Caihua, and she finally got rid of those difficult classmates, leaving enough space for her to reach the top and snatch the symbol of victory. But when she was still a few steps away, the metal shelf was suddenly attacked by a strong energy.

The sudden mental force was applied to the metal rack with a heavy kick from its owner. In the center, the highest rack that was originally sturdy enough to accommodate twenty people climbing at the same time was shaken to pieces in an instant, and when it fell, it also dragged down the people hanging on it.

Only one figure took advantage of everyone's failure to react and stepped upwards against the falling metal frame with a nimble posture.

In a flash, the high platform built with metal supports was smashed into a small pile. The few people who stayed behind crawled out from the scattered metal pile. Although they were not seriously injured, they felt that the psychological and mental trauma was quite severe.

They looked up with blank minds, and saw a man in dark tight sportswear standing high on the top of a small hill piled up by scattered shelves. His gloved hand grabbed the ball they had been fighting for for a long time, and his eyes were curved with a sweet smile, looking down at them with pride.

Then he asked the dumbfounded referee in a lazy voice: "I didn't use my mental power to attack my classmates, I only attacked the shelf, is it still a violation?"

Xu Qingran chuckled and looked at Ji Huaixiu who had a stunned look in his eyes.

Whether or not to foul is secondary.

If anyone dares to gang up on him, he will be unhappy, and no one else can think of being happy either.
