Chapter 39: Good Luck
At noon, in the cafeteria.
As soon as Chen Chu sat down, Xia Youhui approached him with a plate, looking dejected. “A Chu, I have no hope of advancing this time.”
“What happened?” Chen Chu was puzzled. With his strength, even if he couldn't make it into the top fifty, he shouldn't fail to pass the first round, right?
At that moment, Lin Xue, Lu Haitao, Li Wenwen, and Luo Fei also walked over.
Luo Fei and Lin Xue sat opposite them, while Li Wenwen and Lu Haitao sat at a nearby table.
Lin Xue shook her head. “Xia Youhui's luck is too bad. His first opponent was An Fuqing, and he just surrendered right away.”
Xia Youhui protested, “That’s because she had a clear advantage in realm. I'm not stupid; facing a master in double heaven, I had no choice but to surrender.”
As if afraid of being underestimated, Xia Youhui shrugged. “Don't say it's just me; even if you faced her, class leader, you would have no hope.”
“Or rather, in this ranking competition, no one can shake her position as number one.”
“So strong,” Chen Chu said with surprise.
Xia Youhui stated matter-of-factly, “Of course! Breaking through to double heaven is like us establishing our foundation; it results in a significant improvement, with arm strength increasing by at least 100 kilograms.”
“Besides, masters in double heaven possess true power, especially since she practices advanced techniques. Under the enhancement of true power, her explosive increase is at least three to four times.”
“With this kind of overwhelming advantage, who can be her opponent?”
Chen Chu silently nodded, estimating a base strength of four hundred kilograms, plus at least three times the enhancement from true power, along with faster speed and kinetic energy increase.
With just a casual hit, she could unleash at least three thousand kilograms of impact force, which is over three tons—indeed, no one could match her strength.
Even that guy who fought with the iron pillar might not stand a chance.
Because this isn't just a contest of strength; as the most talented genius of southern heaven martial high, An Fuqing's true combat power should be terrifying.
Chen Chu then wondered, “Wait, if you only lost one match, you should have no problem advancing in the first round.”
With over five hundred participants and each person fighting six matches, there wouldn’t be too many who maintain a perfect record, so losing one match and still making it into the top two hundred shouldn't be an issue.
“The problem is I lost three matches.”
At this point, Xia Youhui looked miserable. “In the second match, I encountered a freak who used an iron pillar; his strength was terrifying, and I was directly smashed off the stage by his three strikes.”
“Then, even though I won the next three matches, in the sixth match, I faced a guy named Li Meng, who practiced the primordial great strength hammer, and his technique just happened to counter mine.”
“I underestimated him, and when he gathered momentum using the Hammer Technique, even with my strong defense, I was forced off the stage after twenty consecutive strikes.”
“...Your luck is indeed pretty bad.” Chen Chu didn’t know what else to say.
After finishing his own story, Xia Youhui casually asked, “By the way, A Chu, how did you do? How many matches did you lose?”
Cough...
Chen Chu cleared his throat and modestly replied, “I’m okay, lucky enough that the opponents I faced weren't ‘very strong,’ so I should have a chance to advance.”
“Your luck is too good,” Xia Youhui said with envy.
However, he didn't think much of it, believing that Chen Chu was genuinely lucky and had faced only those ordinary contestants who had established their foundation within the last half month or month.
Lin Xue and Lu Haitao shared similar thoughts.
Just then, after Chen Chu finished speaking, Luo Fei across from him couldn't help but smile, looking at him with a strange expression.
At that time, Lin Xue and the others were in the competition, and because the venue was vast and crowded with people, they didn't know that Chen Chu's opponents were those individuals.
