Infinite Divine Gears in the City

Chapter 54: As poweful as a monster

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After reading through the mission instructions, Li Rui noticed the word, ‘same level’.

Hmmm…. same level, so they can’t be too weak compared to him?

Well, Chao Anguo had only been using brute force just now which was similar to one of the weakest on their own team and Li Rui had never gotten any experience for defeating him!

Which means that he also wouldn’t get any this round!

No wonder it had not triggered the mission.

Li Rui’s heart broke, but he soon realized that this may not be such a bad thing.

If his opponent was too shitty, his rewards doubling his EXP would be a complete waste!

But if every opponent of his were the same level as Luo Li, then he would get at least 20 points of experience and doubling it would mean 40 points!

After a hundred matches, he would be able to get about 4 to 5 thousand EXP, meaning that he would also be able to move up a few levels!

And along with the rewards that he would get from the mission… Li Rui was springing around with happiness.

“I have applied for another match. Your next match will be half an hour later. You can take a break in the audience seats.”

Chen Bin found Li Rui and hurriedly told him a few things before heading toward the other members in the ring.

The other four assistant coaches were also occupied as they were busy guiding the other members.

“Captain, why didn’t you directly break through the opponent’s defense? ”

Luo Li immediately clung onto him as soon as he arrived at the audience seats.

“If I tried to directly break through him, I may have been slightly injured. That’s not necessary.”

Li Rui shook his head and looked at Luo Li who was playing with her fingers. Then, he asked, “Your match hasn’t started yet?”

“It’s still too early!”

Luo Li hugged onto her legs while staring blankly into space.

Li Rui took a look at the matches happening below and realized that most of them were weak chickens which burnt his eyes. He was not interested in these and closed his eyes to rest.

At the same time, Yi Kaicheng, who was sitting in a seat not far from them, had a face full of regret.

He had been preparing for a long time and had finally gathered the courage to sit next to Luo Li but Li Rui came out of nowhere!

As if this wasn’t enough, this dude was sitting on the toilet bowl without actually using it. He had the audacity to take a nap while sitting next to his goddess!

This type of waste was a crime!

“Yi KaiCheng, what are you looking at?”

There was an arm around his shoulder and Yi KaiCheng turned around to see his childhood friend, Miao XingHui.

He followed Yi KaiCheng’s gaze and saw the person that he was staring at. “You’re still looking at Luo Li? That’s a rose full of thorns, she’s not an easy one!”

He shook his shoulder and moved his friend’s hand away. Yi Kaicheng lied, “I wasn’t looking at Luo Li.”

“Not Luo Li? Then who are you looking at? The handsome boy next to him? F**k, since when were you gay? I’m going to stay far away from you.”

Miao XingHui pretended to be scared and jumped away while teasing him.

But he didn’t think that Yi Kaicheng would nod his head.

“Yeah, I’m looking at Li Rui.”

“Li Rui?”

He had heard of this name before. He stopped with the joke and tried to remember where he had heard it before.

“Oh! I remember him now. He’s the useless captain that has been resting for about a year?”

After a while, Miao Xinghui finally remembered who he was.

Yi KaiCheng kept quiet when he heard the word ‘useless’ being used on Li Rui. He no longer had the right to use that description for Li Rui.

When he saw Yi KaiCheng’s face, Miao Xinghui thought that he was just pitying himself and patted him on the back to comfort him.

“I told you to go to Yi Zhong with me but you refused and went to Ming De. Aren’t you such a dumba**? Told you that Ming De is just fancy with no actual potential. If you really want to look for real power and strength, you should look for older schools. So? What do you think? It’s not too late to transfer now.”

“Fancy?”

Yi KaiCheng mumbled to himself and sarcastically mocked.

“Li Rui is not useless. He’s really strong. You guys should be careful of him this year.”

“Powerful? Bro, you have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Miao XingHui looked at Yi KaiCheng with empathy.

Previously, he had been gullible and had thought that he had seen the extreme of human beings, but ever since he had gone to high school, he had met those devil-like figures. Under the constant pressure from them, he had managed to break through his barrier.

He looked back and saw that this childhood friend of his who used to be much stronger than him was still stuck at being a mortal.

The differences between them were already sky-high.

He sighed to himself. Miao Xinghui felt helpless for his friend, but at the same time, he even had a sense of superiority.

Mortals… were no longer qualified to be his opponent. All of his opponents now were Transcendents who have been awakened!

But, Yi KaiCheng looked at him bluntly.

“He’s even stronger than Luo Li!”

Miao XingHui’s smile froze as if a cold bucket of water had been poured on his head.

Luo Li?

She was one of the top five amongst the high schoolers in ShangHai. If she were to get serious, even his own big brother was also scared of her. She was definitely one of them who was at the peak of their Awakening.

And Li Rui, an unknown person, is stronger than her? What kind of f**king joke is that?

Yi KaiCheng noticed the disbelief on his face and stared into the distance with a serious look in his eyes.

“The first time that they fought, Li Rui managed to hurt Luo Li with some type of sound waves. After that, he managed to force Luo Li to surrender without hurting her.”

He turned around and looked at Miao XingHui. He stared into his eyes and said in a serious tone, “The things that I know are not necessarily any lesser than what you know. Do not look down on him. He’s like a monster!”

Miao XingHui swallowed his saliva as the smile on his face slowly disappeared and he looked toward the duo who was sitting far away.

Sh*t, does this mean that Ming De Middle School will rise to the top?

With two top-five awakeners as a dual-core team, that would mean that they were at an advantage!

Luckily, he had stopped competing for about a year and his accumulated points were not as high which meant that he wouldn’t be meeting Li Rui anytime soon!

Just when Miao XingHui was feeling happy for himself, Luo Li’s name was announced.

“Captain, I’m going!”

Luo Li came to her senses after being hazy for quite a while.

“Ok. Good luck, be careful.”

He clenched his right fist and gave Luo Li a fist pump, their cool gestures catching everyone’s attention.

As Luo Li went into the ring, Li Rui woke up.

Those who were matched to Luo Li would definitely be Transcendents and he wanted to have a good look.

But, unfortunately, before the match could start, Li Rui’s name was announced.

Just when Li Rui walked into the waiting area, Luo Li’s match had already ended!

“How was it?”

Both of them met at the participant’s tunnel and Li Rui asked subconsciously.

“So much weaker than you. I finished them within seconds.”

Luo Li said arrogantly with her head held high.

“Were you injured?”

“No.”

Hearing that Li Rui was concerned about her, Luo Li had a sweet smile on her face.

“That’s good.”
