Chapter 61 - 61 49 Logic Problems

61: Chapter 49 Logic Problems 61: Chapter 49 Logic Problems “Someone initiated a duel, what’s going on?!” A sudden screen appeared in the square of the Knight’s Secret Realm, causing a flurry of speculation. “… Wasn’t the area cleared ahead of time? How can someone interfere with the examinees?! How dare they!” The live broadcast was split into two parts. On the left side, Lu Ping’an slowly walked towards the second floor. On the other half of the screen, there was a young man in a Science and Technology University uniform waiting on the second floor as the challenger. “…Science and Technology University, we need an explanation!” Director Qian, who was leading the group, became angry and confronted the Science and Technology University side. Rust Knight was a knight and god of justice, as well as an enthusiast of duels and fair fights. For example, the 2-tier dueling Swordsmen and third-tier athletic Knights that followed him all had the battle abnormal abilities to drag their opponents into a forced duel. The Rust Knight and his knights do not fear or avoid any challenges, and their secret realms basically followed an unwritten rule—”Duel Principle.” As long as you shout out the name of your target, a duel will happen. There were inscriptions on the Duel Square outside the Trial Tower that updated names of other trial-takers every twenty-four hours, allowing challengers to initiate duels at any time. However, since Rust Knight was not a god of slaughter, you could surrender during the duel ceremony at any time without any penalty, but the loser’s test would end there, theoretically not having a significant impact. “…What are you thinking, deliberately interfering with the examinees?!” When Director Qian Shu’en of Ancient City University questioned them, the Science and Technology University camp was also in an uproar. Most people were confused, but some had thoughts. The special exam procedure itself was fair, and the trial procedure of the Knight’s Secret Realm was also just. However, when two fair and just procedures overlap, some people can play unfair tricks according to the rules. “Even if he wins this time, he won’t get far, let alone the next ambush…” This was not the first time such a thing had happened, and some people pointed out all the possibilities. Trial-takers could be challenged at any time, and the next room would become a duel room. Winning would allow them to continue the trial, but the physical exhaustion and injuries would not recover instantly. If someone only had three chances in one day for the Knight’s Secret Realm, and all three chances were sniped and forced into a dueling trial, then that day’s exam result would be greatly discounted, if not completely void. Come again the next day? It would depend on whether they had the face to ask the college entrance examination rules to open a door for them. When someone explained everything, the people in the square immediately boiled with indignation. Some may have known about this “gameplay,” but most people learned for the first time that such dirty tricks existed in the so-called absolutely fair Secret Realm. This was like saying, if I want to deal with someone, I can do so at critical floors… Many people’s eyes turned to those who they had feuds or grievances with. If they sacrificed their own trial opportunity to step in when others were most vulnerable… it would sound like a good deal. “What are you thinking? Whoever dares to use such dirty tactics will have their exam results directly canceled and never be admitted. If you’re not an examinee, you’ll be wanted with more severe charges. Interfering with the college entrance examination is not an administrative penalty, but a criminal offense!” This was obviously malicious interference with the examination, endangering not only Lu Ping’an’s personal interests but also the dignity of Ancient City University and the stable social order. Under Director Qian’s stern rebuke, some people finally restrained their malicious intentions. At this moment, everyone realized a cruel reality. A student from Science and Technology University had abandoned his future just to target another examinee, which must be a deep hatred and resentment. “Deng Jun, Deng Anqi’s son. He’s in his sophomore year and was expected to be enrolled in the integrated master’s program, but that has been canceled, and his proud father has been fired. He volunteered to come here, probably being impulsive…” A teacher from Science and Technology University came over, whispering to communicate with Director Qian. This seemed to be an individual act, but it was clear that the Science and Technology University side was not in a justifiable position. “Deng Anqi?” Qian Shu’en frowned. He had received Xia Qin’s commission and had naturally investigated the child. He was also aware of the half-city storm caused by some incidents. In his eyes, Deng Anqi, who tarnished the reputation of a teacher and caused serious consequences, deserved to die. It was too lenient to be merely fired. “Sophomore? How strong is he?” “He just reached 2-tier, but is a member of the Combat Series.” The teacher’s expression from Science and Technology University was also unsightly. If it turned into a criminal case, he would be held responsible. He and Deng Anqi had no interaction, but now he had to carry the burden for him, how could he be willing. Hearing this, Director Qian’s face also became difficult to look at. A 2-tier Combat Series member who had just broken through might not be much in his eyes, but it would not be weak among students. For the average 0-tier examinee, it should be a crushing blow. At this moment, the teachers no longer had expectations for Lu Ping’an’s trial. They just hoped that he would admit defeat as soon as possible and not suffer any fatal injuries. However, the storm outside could no longer interfere with the situation inside the Secret Realm. Looking at the stranger in front of him, Lu Ping’an was somewhat bewildered. “I never heard that there are magical humanoid creatures in the Knight’s Secret Realm?” “Lu Ping’an!” The words full of naked hatred squeezed from between the young man’s clenched teeth. Because of the boy standing before him, he had lost everything in just a few days! “…Ah, this magic monster can actually speak. Interesting!” Lu Ping’an looked at the person in front of him with interest, wanting to ask, “How old is your sister? Did she go to school? What medicine do you take now?” Lu Ping’an’s happiness and smile only made the man in front of him even angrier. “…How dare you! How dare you! Did my cousin offend you? My father was so kind, our family didn’t do anything to you…” Hearing that this “human-shaped monster” could actually speak, and speaking as if he had killed their whole family, Lu Ping’an was dumbfounded for a moment. “You, do I have a grudge against you? I offended your whole family?” “Yes!” Immediately, Lu Ping’an’s face lit up with joy. “Oh, oh, did you transform from Achilles or the Wine Lake Bird? Tsk tsk, this is the first time I’ve heard that creatures from the secret realm can turn into human forms and take revenge across realms. The world is really interesting, I’ve learned something new.” Instantly, Deng Jun’s flushed face turned black with anger, pointing at Lu Ping’an, unable to speak for a long time. “I, I, I…” “I?” “I am Deng Jun, the son of Deng Anqi!” At this moment, Lu Ping’an narrowed his eyes and thought seriously, then said, “Deng Anqi? Who?” Immediately, Deng Jun almost fainted from holding his breath. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Just that one word, “who,” was full of confusion and sincerity. If Lu Ping’an wasn’t the best actor, then he had truly forgotten. Deng Jun considered him a mortal enemy all the way, even betting his future on this grudge, yet the boy seemed to forget them completely. It meant that Lu Ping’an had never taken you, or your father seriously. “Deng Anqi, the Deng Anqi of Green New Company, the Deng Anqi whose family was ruined by you… If you want to anger me, you’ve succeeded, but it doesn’t make up for the huge gap between us. Today, I will take revenge for my father and my cousin.” The young man took out his heavy battle axe, swung his hand, and smashed a shallow pit in the ground. He didn’t want to talk anymore, as the person in front of him was too annoying. “Oh,” Lu Ping’an clapped his hands, finally recalling, “Oh, you’re here to take revenge on me? You should have said it earlier, I was thinking for a long time. Sigh.” Lu Ping’an sighed in disappointment and received another fierce glare from Deng Jun. “Karma, you never thought about it, did you? You never thought that there would be such a huge loophole in the rules of this secret realm, which is said to be absolutely fair and just.” “…You’re overthinking it. Rules are dead, people are alive, I never had high expectations of those rules. I’m just a little disappointed. It isn’t a humanoid Achilles coming to take revenge, sigh, I still have to find a way to deal with the monster mother…” Humanoid monster? Monster mother? In an instant, Deng Jun’s blood pressure rose once again. He took a deep breath and decided not to talk with the person in front of him anymore. “…Even if you’re good at talking, you’re done today. I’ve seen your strength, and I’ll snipe you three times, making you score zero in the exam. I want to avenge myself and my father! This is my right as a son!” Lu Ping’an just laughed. “…You should know what they did, right? So, according to your logic, the parents and relatives of the victims can also take revenge on you, and your father, right?” “Them? None of my damn business!” Deng Jun swung his battle axe angrily and charged directly at his mortal enemy. “Oh, that’s an interesting logic…” Lu Ping’an stroked his chin thoughtfully, and then smiled. The next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Ping’an, who stepped in place, disappeared. And Deng Jun, who was halfway through his charge, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, and the world in front of him turned upside down, with a one hundred and eighty-degree flip to the left and right. “Crack.” The twisted neck made a terrible sound, but a low voice came from behind his head. The twisted head of the young man could actually see the boy behind him. He gently touched his own neck, his face smiling as he said, “…Then, my killing you is none of your damn business.” “Crack.”
