Lance folded his arms across his chest and said with a stern voice, “Enough with petty talk. Do you dare to step into the ring with me? If you don’t dare, you will make a detour when you see me in the future and stop acting arrogant!”
“Hehe, do you think I dare not?” Meng Lei smiled and said, “I am open to fighting you in the ring. But I don’t like to do things that don’t have any rewards. You should understand what I mean, right?”
“You want a battle reward? Okay, I am agreeable to that. My purpose is to expose you in public!” Lance sneered repeatedly. “I want everyone to know that this so-called human genius is nothing special, and cannot be compared to us, the noble Dragon People!”
“Great!” Meng Lei smiled. “How much do you plan to offer?”
“10,000!” Lance gave a thumbs up. “As long as you are able to defeat me, 10,000 gold coins will be yours! But if you lose... Hmph, I don’t want your money. I just want you to announce something in public, in front of everybody!”
“Eh?” Meng Lei frowned
“I’m a lowly good-for-nothing. I can never be compared to Lance!” Lance said triumphantly, “I just want everyone to know that no matter how talented you are in magic, you are just a lowly good-for-nothing!”
“I agree to your conditions! But 10,000 gold coins are just too little!” Meng Lei’s smile vanished. “100,000 gold coins! As long as you are willing to take out 100,000 gold coins, I will fight you!”
“100,000 gold coins? Why don’t you rob a bank?” Lance was furious. “50,000! The most I can offer is 50,000!”
“Hmph! You want to embarrass me, but are unwilling to pay the price. How can there be such a good deal?” Meng Lei laughed coldly. “However, 50,000 gold coins... is also fine!”
Chapter 45: Dragon Bone Herb, Instant Third-Grade Spell
Lance was incredibly excited after receiving Meng Lei’s affirmation. He took out his magic communication device right away and informed his scoundrel friends about it. He also got those friends to advertise it widely and spread the news!
The news spread like wildfire!
In no time, it had spread throughout Fire Dragon Academy!
Fatty Hart sat in class as per usual.
He had always attended earth-elemental magic classes with Meng Lei during the last three months. Although he didn’t understand why Meng Lei wanted to come along and attend earth-elemental classes, it didn’t matter, anyway. With Meng Lei for company, he wouldn’t be lonely anymore!
However, Meng Lei had stopped coming for classes ever since the mid-term examination. This bored Hart out of his mind, and he became very listless in class.
“Fatty, why are you still here?”
“What?”
Fatty Hart was stunned for a moment before he directed his gaze to the classmate speaking to him.
“Lance from Class 2 is going to have a showdown with Meng Lei from our class. They have probably already gone ahead to the battle platform to get permission for a showdown by now. Isn’t Meng Lei your buddy? Why aren’t you going over to take a look?”
“Lance and Meng Lei? Showdown?”
Fatty Hart was startled for a while. Then, he shook his head several times in a row and said, “That’s impossible! How can Lance, that piece of trash, be a match for my Big Brother Meng? Isn’t he just looking for torture?”
“Fatty, you’re too out of the loop!”
(⊙o⊙)
“Uhh?!” Fatty Hart was astonished!
“I heard that Lance consumed a stalk of Dragon Bone Herb recently, so his body has already broken through to fifth-grade. With his mighty Fifth-Grade Warrior battle capabilities, isn’t dealing with Meng Lei going to be a piece of cake for him?”
“Dragon Bone Herb? What the f*ck!”
Fatty Hart’s countenance changed dramatically. He didn’t bother with classes anymore and headed out at once!
“Dragon Bone Herb! Has that broken horn of a throat really consumed the Dragon Bone Herb? F*ck, that’s really some dumb luck he has!”
Others might not know about the Dragon Bone Herb, but Fatty Hart knew exactly what it was. That thing was an extremely rare plant, and the reason why it was rare was that it grew on Colossal Dragons carcasses and matured by absorbing the dead Colossal Dragons’ life essences!
As such, Dragon Bone Herbs had a special effect. It could refine the concentration of Dragon blood in Dragon People’s bodies and allow their bodies to undergo an explosive power-up for a short period of time. In addition, the effect... was the best when consumed by people below sixth-grade!
Therefore, to Dragon People on a lower social stratum, the Dragon Bone Herb was a miraculous elixir for refining one’s bloodline for sure. It was a treasure that all Dragon People dreamed of and longed for!
Fatty Hart didn’t expect Lance, that piece of trash, to have actually obtained something like that. That was truly some dumb luck he had! The heavens must be blind!
“I have to stop this battle! Meng Lei can’t possibly win!”
One could say that hurrying there at the fastest speed he could muster was truly a tough task for Fatty Hart. At a height of less than 1.6 meters tall, and with a weight of close to 100 kilograms, running was practically torture to him!
But what was he to do?
He could only grit his teeth and push on!
More than 10 minutes later, he finally reached the battle platform!
He arrived only to see Meng Lei and Lance standing on the battle platform. The magic shield had already risen into the air and enveloped the entire battle platform. The teacher in charge of guarding the battle platform stood in the corner and served as the judge!
Students that had hurried over upon hearing the news filled up the area outside the battle platform. There were splendidly-dressed Dragon People nobility, as
