Chapter 502, Sorry, You’re Not Qualified

Translator: Silavin

 

Meng Jia’s expression was already extremely unpleasant. Now that Jian Ying, a supposed ‘Minor Character’, had actually taken the initiative to attack him, his face showed an unmistakable trace of murderous intent that he could hardly suppress.

 

In his view, only Lu Fan was worthy of fighting him.

 

It would be reasonable and appropriate for Jiang Fengyun and the others to engage with the insignificant figures, while he dealt with Lu Fan. This would at least not compromise upon his status.

 

Yet now, before Lu Fan had even made a move, one of the other Minor Characters had actively come to challenge him. If this was not humiliating, he did not know what was.

 

However, at this moment, Jiang Fengyun and the others were locked in an intense battle with Tao Xiaoman and Qin Qiu, and no one was available to deal with Jian Ying for him.

 

So, he had no choice but to deal with Jian Ying himself.

 

Meng Jia snorted coldly, swinging his heavy sword, immediately sending a crimson-red attack sweeping outward. It collided with the Blood Breaker Sword that was soaring towards him.

 

The Blood Breaker Sword was technically not made for heavy attacks. So, faced with such a heavy sword, wielded with such strength, it naturally could not break through and was sent flying back.

 

However, subsequently, the Army Breaker Sword arrived and struck back.

 

The power of the Army Breaker Sword’s attack was far higher than that of the Blood Breaker Sword.

 

The crimson-red attack only held out for a moment before being forcefully shattered by the Army Breaker Sword.

 

Following this, the Army Breaker Sword chopped down towards Meng Jia’s head. Although its power had diminished considerably, it was still not to be underestimated.

 

Meng Jia was slightly startled, clearly not expecting that an unknown Player in the opposing team would possess such strength.

 

He sensed that Jian Ying’s sword strike was formidable, so instead of meeting it head-on, he flashed away, soaring into the air, relying on his Agility Attribute to dodge the attack.

 

The Army Breaker Sword missed its target but it did not continue to pursue. Instead, Jian Ying recalled it along with the Blood Breaker Sword, keeping them suspended beside her. This was in case Meng Jia released some Attack Skill and she could not use her flying swords to defend in time.

 

Although Meng Jia was surprised that Jian Ying’s strength far exceeded his expectations, he found it difficult to accept he had to fight against Jian Ying while Lu Fan watched from the sidelines.

 

“I have no interest in you!” Meng Jia did not rush to attack, but pointed his heavy sword at Jian Ying. “Tell that Dragon Tamer to come and fight me! Except for him, no one in your team is qualified for me to take action.”

 

Jian Ying’s expression became slightly dark, but she still glanced at Lu Fan to see how he would respond.

 

At the same time, the gazes of all the spectators present fell on Lu Fan, anticipating whether he would accept the challenge.

 

After all, everyone had come here to see this battle between Lu Fan and Meng Jia.

 

However, Lu Fan’s actions were beyond everyone’s expectations.

 

He calmly took something out of his Inventory. It was a two-seater sofa! Furthermore, he led Han Ke and sat down with her while bearing an extremely satisfied expression.

 

“Auntie, among the Crafting Recipe you’ve recently learned, do you have any that are snacks? You know, the kind suitable for eating while watching a movie?” Lu Fan asked, turning to Han Ke without paying any attention to Meng Jia.

 

Han Ke thoughtfully tilted her head, then smiled. “Now that you mention it, I actually do have one. A couple of days ago, I learned how to make popcorn. Eating it increases your Defence by 5%. Do you want to try it? I do have some in my Inventory. Although they are quite tasty, the Enchantment Effect is quite small, so I haven’t brought it out before.”

 

Lu Fan smiled when he heard this. “Oh? It doesn’t matter how much my Attribute increases, as long as it tastes good. Can you bring it out for me to try?”

 

“En.” Han Ke really took out a paper box of popcorn from her Inventory and handed it to Lu Fan.

 

Lu Fan grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, completely ignoring everyone around him. [It is crispy and fragrant, much better than what’s sold outside cinema theatres! As I thought, Auntie is the best!]

 

“Auntie, you should have some too.” Lu Fan shared some with Han Ke, and the two of them happily ate.

 

Their act of sitting on the sofa eating popcorn, as if watching a movie, left everyone around them completely stunned.

 

After all, they were up on stage, in the Arena, facing powerful enemies. To be able to comfortably recline back while eating popcorn – this scene probably had never occurred in the history of Dragon Capital University.

 

Moreover, although Lu Fan had not directly answered Meng Jia, his actions clearly conveyed, ‘Want me to make a move? Sorry, you’re not qualified!’

 

Jian Ying could not help but laugh at Lu Fan’s actions. She also understood that Lu Fan had faith she could deal with Meng Jia.

 

So, Jian Ying made up her mind and got serious.

 

“Meng Jia, if you want to face Lu Fan, you’ll have to get past me first.” Jian Ying said softly, pointing with both her left and right hands. The Blood Breaker Sword and Army Breaker Sword intertwined, transforming into a long trailing silvery-white Dragon, rumbling towards Meng Jia.

 

This attack was clearly Jian Ying using a Skill, making the two swords demonstrate an Effect greater than the sum of their parts.

 

Meng Jia, humiliated by Lu Fan, had his face darkened to the extreme, and now with Jian Ying attacking him, it undoubtedly ignited his full fury.

 

“Who do you think you are to compete with me!?” He roared, his Blood Qi erupting, causing his Attributes to dramatically surge.

 

At the same time, a bloody smell seemed to permeate the entire Arena, instilling an indescribable fear in others’ hearts.

 

Meng Jia, like a fierce beast, hunched his back, suddenly leaped up, and swung his heavy sword down towards Jian Ying’s two flying swords with tremendous force.

 

Instantly, a thunderous *boom* exploded. The light from the Skills scattered in all directions, making it impossible to directly look at.

 

The Army Breaker Sword and Blood Breaker Sword simultaneously emitted trembling wails and flew high into the sky.

 

Jian Ying’s expression slightly darkened. She recognised Meng Jia was indeed formidable, as this single strike had directly broken through her Skill.

 

She urged the two flying swords to stabilise in mid-air, while also wanting to recall them for a second round of attacks.

 

However, Meng Jia, carrying a body full of Blood Qi, darted out from the scattered light from their clash. His body left a trail of afterimages as he dragged his heavy sword as he charged towards Lu Fan with a speed that left others gasping in shock.

 

The students outside all let out exclamations of surprise, as Meng Jia’s first move clearly allowed them to feel that he was breathtakingly strong. He was on a completely different level from the likes of Tao Xiaoman, Qin Qiu, and Jiang Fengyun!

 

This showcase made it not strange for Meng Jia to be able to defeat Third Profession Players.

 

With such power and speed, who could withstand it!?

 

Looking at it this way, Lu Fan might have no choice but to take action.

 

However, despite Meng Jia’s fierce approach, Lu Fan still showed no sign of tension.

 

In fact, he was even hand-feeding a piece of popcorn to Han Ke.

 

Towards Meng Jia charging at him, he acted as if he had not seen him at all.

 

Meng Jia was even more enraged by Lu Fan’s dismissive attitude and no longer cared that this was an exam, where he should hold back to avoid casualties.

 

He swung his heavy sword, about to cleave down on Lu Fan and Han Ke, making these two people pay the price for looking down on him.
