Chapter 293: Chapter 246: Breaking News: Major New Rules

"..." Gui Zian was truly speechless. He could only look to the heavens and lament the injustice of it all. ’Oh, let a lightning bolt come down and strike this guy dead!’

Of course, no matter how much he lamented,

no lightning came down.

Moreover, when all the challengers saw Gao Neng’s dark circles and pale face, their eyes turned red.

Gao Neng was finished!

He had fought continuously for two days, four matches in total.

Every battle had been a narrow victory. If things went as expected, today would be the day Gao Neng was knocked out of the Dragon List’s top 300.

The opportunity was right before them!

"I bid fifty million!" The first challenger to bid started with an extremely high price.

"Sixty million!" The second one was even more aggressive.

"Sixty-five million!"

"..."

"Eighty million! Who dares to compete with me?!" an arrogant voice rang out. His gaze swept over the surroundings, met with a vast silence.

One by one, the challengers unwillingly clenched their fists.

Yesterday’s highest price had only reached fifty-seven million. For this morning’s battle, it had skyrocketed to eighty million. They were unprepared.

"One hundred million!" Amidst the silence, a short man stood up.

"WHOA!"

Nearly all eyes turned to look at him.

Then, everyone involuntarily sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.

The Long Family from the West District!

This was a true scion of a noble family!

"One hundred and ten million!" The challenger who had previously bid eighty million grit his teeth. Gao Neng was clearly on his last legs. If he didn’t fight for this chance now, an opportunity like this might never come again.

"One hundred and fifty million!" the short man spoke again, a disdainful smirk playing on his lips.

"..."

The entire venue fell silent.

That price truly crushed everyone.

Because no one would have thought that in just one day, the price would triple.

Gui Zian, watching from the side, was stunned.

One hundred and fifty million!

’As expected, some of the true scions of noble families are starting to make their move. They aren’t like ordinary people. They possess supreme wealth; what they lack are just opportunities.’

Using money to buy opportunities.

In essence, this deal wasn’t a loss.

After all, once selected for a spot, one would be cultivated by the Alliance with vast resources. This way, they would surely become one of the chosen ones of the entire Alliance, and could even gain an advantage in the competition to become the family successor.

For an ordinary person, one hundred and fifty million was a sum they could never earn in a lifetime. But for some of the true noble families, it wasn’t much at all.

Just like someone like Fang Tangtang...

Her allowance for three months was over one hundred million!

Of course, people like Fang Tangtang were rare in the entire Alliance. After all, not every Noble Family Head would dote on their child like Fang Yuan doted on Fang Tangtang.

"My name is Dragon Heaven Hall! Gao Neng, you will undoubtedly be defeated today!" The short man was incredibly confident, and he certainly had the capital to back up that confidence.

The reason was that his ranking on the Dragon List wasn’t low.

Rank 336.

This was a rank very close to the top 300. Even against an uninjured Wang Nanlin, Dragon Heaven Hall would have been able to put up a fight.

What’s more, the current Gao Neng was suffering from such a severe internal injury.

Smashing one hundred and fifty million into this...

wasn’t a loss!

Instead, the more he put in, the more he’d get out!

Dragon Heaven Hall’s calculations were extremely shrewd.

As for Gao Neng, he just gave a helpless, bitter smile.

He looked drowsy and on the verge of collapse.

Next up were the three major media outlets.

They bid a total of thirty-eight million, almost double yesterday’s price.

Because all the media outlets saw the profit.

As long as they could secure a day’s coverage, their media traffic would set new records. This was more cost-effective than running ads, and the results were immediate.

Everything was ready.

Gao Neng and Dragon Heaven Hall arrived at the training grounds of the Eastern Capital Military Academy.

Dragon Heaven Hall instantly assumed a fighting stance.

But Gao Neng suddenly slumped to the ground. He kept shaking his head and grabbing his hair, looking as if he were in extreme pain.

"Gao Neng, what’s wrong with you?" Fang Tangtang chimed in at the perfect moment with a concerned tone.

"My bones ached all night. When I woke up this morning, I was all groggy, and now my head really hurts... I’m not fighting today, I need to rest for a day!" Gao Neng said in a pained voice.

"No way! We have a contract!" Fang Tangtang immediately refused.

"I don’t care if there’s a contract!" freёweɓnovel.com

"If you breach the contract, you’ll have to pay one billion in damages. Do you have the money to pay?" Fang Tangtang started to threaten him.

"One billion... You... Fine, you win. Can I at least wash my face and hair to wake myself up?" Gao Neng said through gritted teeth.

"I suppose that’s fine!" Fang Tangtang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Meanwhile, Gui Zian simply turned his head away.

’You two... could you be any more shameless?!’

’Filming an ad...’

’...and there’s freaking foreplay?!’

If Gui Zian hadn’t caught Gao Neng and Fang Tangtang earlier, he really would have almost believed them.

And then, the commercial began.

While Dragon Heaven Hall and Gui Zian watched, dumbfounded, Gao Neng began to wash his hair. As he washed, he shouted, "This shampoo feels so refreshing."

"So, what brand of shampoo are you using?" Fang Tangtang leaned in with a look of wide-eyed curiosity and picked up the shampoo bottle.

"Wow, it’s Tian Tian Rou Hot Oil Essence Shampoo!"

"That’s right! It’s the Tian Tian Rou Hot Oil Essence Shampoo! A 3-in-1 for washing, conditioning, and dandruff-removal—that’s how confident it makes you! I’ve always used this!" Gao Neng immediately shouted.

"Is it really that good?" Fang Tangtang asked, looking unconvinced.
