Chapter 290: Chapter 245: Breakthrough: Another Step Forward

Forty million for the challenge rights!

That’s even more than the twenty-seven million from yesterday afternoon?! fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

And that wasn’t all. Fang Tangtang quickly began auctioning off the exclusive broadcasting rights for the three major media outlets, and the price was so outrageous that Gui Zian’s jaw dropped.

For just one day, the three outlets paid a combined total of a staggering twenty-five million.

Gui Zian felt...

Gao Neng’s total earnings for the day would probably exceed a hundred million!

Double what he made yesterday!

"How can this be? Are these people really that stupid? Can’t they see that this Gao Neng fellow is deliberately putting on a show?!" Gui Zian’s spirit was crushed.

’Would a real duel between experts last this long?’

’Even a fool should be able to see it!’

Besides, just a few days ago, Gao Neng had decisively defeated Wang Nanlin from Beihai Military Academy and even injured Leidong with his Spiritual Power. With that kind of strength...

’Why are these guys lining up to be slaughtered?’

Of course, he couldn’t say any of this out loud for the time being.

He was the Vice Dean of the Eastern Capital Military Academy’s War Academy, and also Gao Neng’s teacher. It was just like when Gao Neng challenged Wang Nanlin—could anyone have trusted Leidong’s words back then?

...

The next battle went just as everyone expected...

Gao Neng, as predicted, appeared weak. He was suppressed by Ji Pan from the Kuishan Daoist Sect from the very start, constantly fleeing and looking utterly wretched.

However, Gao Neng didn’t shy away from the fight. He fought with great dedication, and his courage was commendable.

Despite being suppressed, he still shouted, "A true warrior dares to face dripping blood! I may be weak, but I am brave enough to advance!"

Then, the battle naturally dragged on for nearly an hour.

In the end, Gao Neng barely scraped by with a win.

Another miracle!

Three battles, three wins. Including his match against Wang Nanlin, Gao Neng now had a perfect four-win record.

Even in victory, Gao Neng was swaying on his feet, his face deathly pale. He looked as if a gust of wind could knock him over.

But such a spirit was worthy of praise!

WHOOSH!

The challengers outside the Eastern Capital Military Academy went wild.

"This guy is so tenacious! That’s three matches! He’s fought three consecutive battles since yesterday. He must be badly injured, right? How can he still be winning?"

"He is tenacious, but isn’t this a heaven-sent opportunity?!"

"Exactly! Gao Neng is on his last legs. Just one more match and he’s bound to lose. Whether we can get on the Dragon List all comes down to this one shot!"

The challengers, watching the live broadcast on their phones, felt their hearts burn with excitement.

’An opportunity!’

’If I can just seize this chance and take down the exhausted, injured Gao Neng, I’ll make it into the top 300 of the Dragon List! Then I can just hunker down and refuse all challenges!’

How rare was a chance like this?

A spot in the coming great change!

As Sect Disciples and children of prominent families, they knew all too well how important this great change was. As long as they entered the top 300 of the Dragon List, their futures would be bright.

In reality, many of the challengers present didn’t have the strength to break into the top 300.

But an opportunity like this, right before their eyes...

It ignited a raging fire in their hearts.

"Defeat Gao Neng and enter the Dragon List’s top 300!"

"Fight!"

"A true warrior dares to face dripping blood! I am not afraid! I dare to advance!"

The challengers were in a frenzy.

Meanwhile, the viewers watching the battle on TV and online were also stunned by the spectacular fight.

"Such incredible willpower!"

"The conduct of the military academies is truly excellent!"

"The iron spine of a soldier!"

In an instant, Gao Neng had somehow become a model representative for the military academies.

Although Gao Neng’s strength wasn’t that great and every battle was fraught with peril, his willpower was immense. He just gritted his teeth and refused to admit defeat.

And in the end, he always won. freewebnovel.cσ๓

A textbook comeback story!

The hype continued to build, growing more and more intense.

The result of all this was...

The price for the afternoon’s challenge rights soared to a new high.

Final transaction price: fifty-seven million!

This was an absolutely terrifying price. After all, not everyone was Fang Tangtang. Take Gui Zian, for example; as a high-ranker, he only had a few tens of millions in liquid capital.

Fifty-seven million for a single fight!

This was basically betting one’s entire fortune.

Gao Neng was panicking.

At least, he looked like he was panicking. He kept clutching his chest and coughing heavily. He even made a point of running to the academy gate to stop Fang Tangtang’s auction, claiming he wanted to cancel the afternoon challenge.

However, Fang Tangtang had clearly been blinded by the fifty-seven-million price tag.

She held up a contract.

It was clearly written on it that the Celestial King Group would provide Gao Neng with some technical support within the month, but on the condition that Gao Neng must obey Fang Tangtang’s arrangements.

Helpless, Gao Neng had no choice but to fight.

And this battle was truly fraught with peril.

Several times, the viewers watching the live broadcast had their hearts in their throats. The person who won the challenge rights this time wasn’t particularly strong, ranked only 486th on the Dragon List.

Even weaker than the Fatty from the first day.

But this time, Gao Neng seemed to be in extreme danger. He was nearly defeated several times...

But with his tenacious willpower, Gao Neng ultimately secured the victory.

And this time, the fight lasted even longer than the morning one, going on for over two hours until the afternoon challenger’s vision started to blur.

"Did I lose? No! I was about to win! I was just one step away! I made a mistake... No, I can’t accept this! Gao Neng, you just wait! I’m going to raise more money! I’ll be back tomorrow!" The challenger was utterly unconvinced. He had lost, but Gao Neng hadn’t dealt a finishing blow.
