Martial Arts: Chill! I’m Just A Farmer! - Chapter 37

Chapter 37 The Semi-final Is About to Begin

After getting Li Wei’s guarantee, the principal finally let Zhang Feng go. To keep the kids and teachers from disturbing Li Wei, the older man got into the car and personally drove them to the school gate.

En route, students on both sides of the road cast envious glances toward Li Wei. They had no idea that one of the school’s worst students would wield such power.

He had risen to prominence in the days leading up to the college entrance exam, becoming the school’s strongest student. Students who had previously mocked Li Wei now bowed their heads in humiliation after seeing the person sitting in the passenger seat. They realized their ignorance.

Li Wei’s life would now take a very different course from theirs. The guidance of illustrious institutions, the embrace of beautiful women, the propensity of social resources… Soon, Li Wei would have all of these things.

A week later, or more accurately, from now on, they would be strangers.

When the principal got off the car, many teachers who had made arrangements in advance appeared at the school gate. “Li Wei! Good luck! You’re the strongest student in the history of our school!” “Fight for us!”

“If you can enter the finals and win the championship, it will be a historic moment for our school!”

“As expected of someone from my Fei He High School! Great talent! Don’t forget that Ms. Jiang taught you!”

These teachers, who had looked down on Li Wei, were now trying to curry favor with him. They appeared to be taking credit for Li Wei’s improvement.

Li Wei did not have time to waste on these people. He put on a smile and replied with a few words. Then, he said he was in a hurry to have breakfast and left.

On the way, Zhang Feng, who could not figure out the prior incident, asked, “Why did you say that earlier, brother? Do I qualify for the Imperial Martial Arts University?”

Typically, Zhang Feng would have written it off as an excuse to skip class. Still, things had changed. Given that Li Wei’s strength has suddenly increased, he must possess an ability that most people do not!

Could it be that the other party noticed a change in his vitality, and it had reached the admission requirement of 6 points? The big guy’s eyes were wide open as he watched Li Wei expectantly.

“Hehe…” Li Wei squinted at him and smiled. “What do you think? I did say you would pass, but I didn’t say that your vitality had already met the standard.”

After that, Li Wei told him about Han Chong’s situation. Zhang Feng was astonished to hear that. To be honest, he had already forgotten about the vitality capsule. He did not expect Li Wei to be still scheming about this.

Even more surprising was that something he had given away so long ago would return to his possession. As it stands now, Li Wei’s plan may be his only option.

A vitality capsule could restore at least 0.1 points of vitality. As long as Li Wei won it back, he would be able to go to the Imperial Martial Arts University with his best friend.

Li Wei had such a critical competition today, yet he was still thinking about his buddy’s admission. Zhang Feng was touched.

After a while, he said, “It’s great to have a brother like you. Let’s go! I’ll take you to breakfast. No matter who it is today, you have to win. If you win, you’ll be in the finals!”

Li Wei just smiled.

After breakfast, the two of them drove to the competition venue. As soon as Li Wei entered, a horde of reporters was waiting. They came up to Li Wei and started taking pictures. The camera flashes were so bright that he could not even open his eyes.

At the same time, the audience also began to chant Li Wei’s name. He hurried into the lounge, waving his hand to signal everyone in his path.

After sitting down, he asked Zhang Feng. “What are the odds for today?” Li Wei cared more about the odds than who his opponent was.

“Hold on. I’m looking at it now…” Zhang Feng’s expression shifted as he stared at the screen. With a face like he had just swallowed a fly, he raised his head and exclaimed, “F*ck! The odds are just 0.1! All the major bets are unified!”

Li Wei’s face darkened as well when he heard this. His premonition last night was correct. Someone in the school must have spread the news that his highest vitality value was 12.35. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the various betting stations to drop the odds that low suddenly.

“Only 0.1 odd. What a joke!” What Li Wei regretted the most was his carelessness in going to the gym to test his vitality that night.

If he did not, he could have kept his secret for a long time, and the odds on him would not have dropped so low. He could use his strategy “play the pig to eat the tiger” until the end.

‘Argh… As expected, arrogance does no good.” Li Wei recalled the wise words in a textbook.

“Then, do you still want to bet? Your semi-final opponent is not strong, which is also one of the reasons the odds are low.”

Li Wei did not hesitate when he heard Zhang Feng’s words, but he replied with a gloomy expression, “Of course! Why wouldn’t he bet if he was sure to win? 0.1 odds are still money!”
