Chapter 589: The Contest of Admitting Defeat

It was a fact that 70 disciples walked out of the array formation, no matter how much suspicion Immortal Spirit Academy had, they could only grit their teeth and let the competition go on. Everyone somehow felt that this league was rather odd, too little people passed the qualifiers and too many passed the quarterfinals, anyway everything ended in a inexplicable manner.

The mechanism of the semifinal was very simple, it was nothing but battling in pairs, the winner advances, until the top three participants emerge. On top of that, the competition was to be conducted before an entire crowd, if anything happens, anyone would be able to spot it at once, there will be absolutely no more problem. Everyone thought so, at the start, the competition was indeed very normal too, until the one called Lonemoon went up…

Opponent one.

“Aiya! Elder brother has great cultivation, I am crude and untalented, indeed not your opponent, I admit defeat!”

Everyone: “…”

They had barely exchanged any blows? You admitted defeat way too quickly!

Opponent two.

“Aiya! Elder brother has superb sword techniques, I’m so ashamed that I am inferior, I have lost.”

Everyone: “…”

Hold on, he didn’t even used a sword? Where exactly did you make out that his sword techniques were superb?

Opponent three.

“Aiya! Elder brother’s Spirit Qi is so powerful, I can barely hold on, ah! I’ve lost!”

Everyone: “…”

Spirit Qi your ass, there was nothing on him at all alright?

Opponent four.

“Aiya! I see that elder brother has an imposing appearance, with advanced cultivation. You’re an exceptional man, rarely seen in this world, I am no match for you, I forfeit!”

Everyone: “…”

Did you come to compete or get your fortune told?

Opponent five said, “Aiya! My stomach suddenly hurts, I can’t compete anymore, just take it that I lost.”

Opponent six said, “Aiya, my chest suddenly hurts…”

Opponent seven: “Aiya, my head suddenly hurts…”

There was no exception, as long as they met the man called Lonemoon, his opponent will hurt somewhere for no rhyme or reason and automatically admitted defeat. Hence everyone could only watch on, dumbfounded as he advanced all the way and topped the league. An originally estimated three days of competition duration ended in a day with everyone continuously surrendering without battling. Lonemoon also became the first person to win the champion title without striking at all.

Immortal Spirit Academy: “…”

All the teachers: “…”

What the heck? This was way too casual! What kind of league was this, might as well call it the contest of admitting defeat!

“There is definitely something fishy about this!” A teacher really could not hold back anymore. “I absolutely will not acknowledge this champion, his sword did not even leave his sheath at all. It is virtually absurd that this person become the champion.”

“That’s right!” Another person also added. “What’s with all the disciples from these academies? Are they taking this league as child’s play? It must be redone! Otherwise, how could such a champion convince the public.”

“I also think so too, and we ought to investigate this matter thoroughly too. I don;t believe this person could become first place just based on luck.” Another teacher also said and even turned to look towards the person beside him. “Teacher Yan, you are the Head of Discipline, what do think should be done about this?”

The corner of Yan Luo’s mouth twitched before he stood up, inhaled deeply and said, “There’s no need, let’s directly announce the outcome of the competition.”

“What?!” Three people were stupefied at once, wearing faces of disbelief, such words actually came from him.

“But… but this person was obviously problematic, if we really let him become the champion, I’m afraid majority will not be convinced.”

Yan Luo glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. “Take a look around, can you find anymore who’s not convinced?”

The other party faltered and turned his head to survey the disciples around and realized… it seems there was really none! Not only that, without even waiting for his announcement of the end of the competition, those participants were already crowding around to congratulate him, no signs of unhappiness on their faces at all, even some teachers had made their way there.

What was going on?

“This… how?” He was dumbfounded but still said rather indignantly, “But this is too exaggerated, no matter what… we ought to test his capability before…”

“Junior Brother!” Yan Luo suddenly stepped forward, patted his shoulder with a solemn expression and said slowly, emphasizing each word, “Trust me, you definitely will not wish to witness his capability!”

Even I was crushed, what do you all, who are even weaker than me, expect?

“Quickly, announce it!” He waved his hand, feeling mentally tired.

Everyone was still slightly lost. yet seeing that even Yan Luo, who had the highest cultivation had acknowledge it, they couldn’t say anything more and directly announced the outcome of the competition. Hence Lonemoon gloriously became the champion of the first academy league.

“Exalted… Exalted Immortal?” Buggy who was watching on the whole time could not help but ask, “Why were they all so willing to admit defeat?” Buggy looked to him blankly, though there was the relation from the sale of monsters, but this was a competition between the academies, regardless of he thought, it was impossible for so many people to admit defeat on their own accord.

Lonemoon turned back and glanced at him before replying, “Oh, because I sent a message to them last night, all those who loses to me in the competition today gets a 50% discount on their debt incurred in the mystic realm!”

Buggy: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

So this was the reason why he said they didn’t need to participate in the semifinals? He could really do business everywhere, why was he suddenly feeling pity for those who owed him money?

Due to the accelerated progress of the competition, second and third places emerged very quickly too. It was finally time for the rousing presentation ceremony, Lonemoon could not help but sigh in relief deep down, they would be able to get the spirit seed and go home soon Even those teachers who’d been staring at him complexly became eager about it all. Until the other party placed two bags into his hands.

His expression darkened instantly. “What is this?”

“The prize for your championship!” The teacher presenting the prizes answered crankily.

“This is the prize!” Lonemoon looked even more upset as he lifted up the two bags and questioned once more.

“These are immortal stones!” The teacher thought that he’d never seen immortal stones and explained directly. “Immortal stones are rarer than spirit stones.”

“I naturally know these are immortal stones!” What the hell, did they think he’d never seen immortal stones? There were a few millions of them lying in his storage bag. Lonemoon’s expression turned cold as he inhaled deeply and said, “If I remember correctly, the prize for the champion that you all displayed the other time wasn’t this right?”

“You… don’t be a fool that doesn’t know what’s good for you!” Figuring the displeasure in his tone, the teacher glared at him. “There are two thousand immortal stones here, the concentration of it can only be thicker than that in the colored egg, after getting this…”

“I don’t need immortal stones!” Lonemoon cut him off directly. “Where is the rainbow colored egg?”

“You…” The teacher was also slightly enraged now and retorted, “There are no whatsoever rainbow colored egg, these immortal stones are your prize!”
