86: Chapter 72: Level 3 86: Chapter 72: Level 3 “Hello.” “Hello.” “…Aren’t you quitting?” The young man in white in front of them spoke arrogantly but calmly, and no one felt any dissonance. After all, most of their previous opponents simply left it like that. That’s because the young man in white is a third-tier fighter, and he is only 18 years old. “Let’s give it a try.” As a challenger, Lu Ping’an smiled and responded, even he himself didn’t think he could win. As mentioned before, 95% of professionals only reach the first or second tier in their lifetime. This means that those who can break through the third tier start at the top, and those third-tier fighters under 20 years of age are even rarer. “…The prerequisite for the Special College Entrance Examination is to be under 20 years old. In the recruitment of Ancient City University this time, there are seven third-tier candidates participating, which shows the attraction of the official recruitment.” Lu Ping’an had heard Xia Qin say this before. For other candidates applying for college, it’s their hope that the college will open its doors. For third-tier students under 20 years old, it’s a source of pride for Ancient City University. A third-tier fighter can be a Captain in a Special Service Team and apply to be a professor in a university, basically starting as a middle-level cadre. And those third-tier fighters under 20 years old often imply that the third tier is not their end; they have the possibility of reaching the fourth tier or even higher. All of them are young people who have gone through countless battles for various reasons, and their future potential is limitless. Before, Lu Ping’an had only heard about third-tier fighters participating in the exam, but he never thought there would be seven of them out of nowhere. From Xia Qin, Lu Ping’an learned that many of this time’s third-tier and high-quality second-tier candidates were actually recruited by the officials. The plan was probably to let them receive some college education, send them directly to the special service team to serve as team members for six months, then become Captains or Deputy Captains. “Come on, let me see how strong the third-tier is.” Facing the third-tier, Lu Ping’an remained calm. He knew that those under 20 years old are very strong… but for him, it’s only a matter of time. Since he will surpass them sooner or later, it’s enough to maintain a sufficient level of respect. Awed? Don’t bother; just wait half a year, and it’s still unclear who will be stronger. This opportunity for a fight was just right for him to feel the strength of the third-tier in advance. Upon hearing Lu Ping’an’s “arrogance,” the third-tier fighter opposite him laughed. “Young man, it’s good to be arrogant, but I hope you have the strength to support this confidence.” Then, he silently put on his white gloves, his right fist forward and left fist cupping it, his legs staggered, right front and left behind. He assumed a standard fighting stance… a stance Lu Ping’an was quite familiar with from Xia Qin. “Official Secret Keeper style fighting stance? An official-backed hunting dog…” Wang Hai, 18 years old, a third-tier fighter, without any title. His combat record is not enough to support a real reputation in the industry, and the other candidates here don’t give him or the other third-tier fighters any strange titles. Like children who only come up with nicknames for their friends they play with, they subconsciously respect the “adults” around them, using terms like uncle, brother, and the like. Throughout the fights, the third-tier fighters have shown their strength and mostly crushed their opponents. There were some occasional losses due to unexpected tactics, but in general, they have been dominating. However, only two third-tier fighters were ranked in the top ten… like how kids subconsciously revere adults, ordinary “adults” are also unlikely to shamelessly grab the “candy” of children. Even if that candy is rather valuable, those who engage in such behavior are likely to be ridiculed by their colleagues and peers for several years – “A third-tier fighter, trying to take the college entrance exam to grab a spot, and even snatching the scholarship places from students?” Of course, since the current first place is still a third-tier fighter, it means that among the challengers, some shameless adults still exist… However, at least Wang Hai was not one of them. Rarely seeing an opponent willing to fight him, and looking a bit familiar (few people checked other’s information among the third-tier fighters), he waited for Lu Ping’an to make a battle-ready. And when Lu Ping’an assumed a Secret Keeper fighting stance like him, he even smiled and nodded. “Boom!” In the next moment, Lu Ping’an’s head was almost blown off! The white glove pierced through the air and exploded violently just above Lu Ping’an’s head. If he hadn’t retreated in time, he would’ve been killed instantly. But, the fear in that split-second between life and death, filled Lu Ping’an with cold sweat, and at the same time, brought out the most enjoyable smile he’d had during the trials. “Interesting.” His calm face flushed pink as the rational part of him should have given up the fight as soon as possible, but stimulated by the scent of death, the boy now only wanted to greedily enjoy the pleasure of the fight. “Unleash it all… Savage!” At the next moment, the entire room was filled with whipping tentacles, claw marks all over the walls, ceiling, and floor. This time, the explosion was at least twice as violent as before! Now, Lu Ping’an could be considered truly serious. But to the outside audience, they saw a scene that was utterly desperate. “…This is the power of third-tier?” Wang Hai did not dodge; instead, he stood still. He just calmly blocked, counterattacked, and pulled, deflecting all the tentacles attacking him. No, judging from the broken tentacles on the ground, he had also broken some of them in the process. His seemingly slow but actually fast movements, without any unnecessary movements, easily blocked Lu Ping’an’s “ultimate move” without moving half a step from beginning to end.
