Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Despair
Each squad quickly gathered, many of which had lost members, reducing to only four people, and some even down to two or three.
The military’s regulation stated that squads with less than three people were not allowed to enter, thus, some squads had been eliminated.
The military officials were efficient, calculating the scores quickly. “Wolf Squad, score thirty-one thousand, qualified to enter!”
“Tianci Squad, score 26500, eliminated!”
“Peacock Squad, score 19880, eliminated!”
Each squad’s scores were swiftly calculated, soon arriving at the Demon God Squad.
The individuals started producing their spoils of war, Zhou Tie was the first to do so.
“355 F-level loot, 130 E-level, 41 D-level, and 1 C-level, total score is 9755, next.”
Following him was Hua Xiaofeng, whose score was 8105, the two of them had reached a total over ten thousand points.
Next was Kong Shan, who achieved 8560 points. The total points of the three stood over twenty-seven thousand.
Which means, if Li Mengxi and Ruoruo could achieve over 4600 points, their squad would qualify to enter Yi Lan.
Ruoruo was the first to step forward, producing her loot.
Score calculated, exactly 2400 points.
“Mengxi, you should be able to get 2200 points, right?” Zhou Tie was somewhat anxious, fearing that if Li Mengxi’s performance fell short, their squad would be eliminated.
“I’m not quite sure, let’s see.”
Li Mengxi started taking out her spoils of war from various bags. The highest grade she had was D-level. In fact, all the spoils of war that came out from the warrior zone were of D-level at most; no C-level items had appeared.
“Li Mengxi has a total of 2220 points! Demon God Squad’s total score is 30040, qualified to enter Yi Lan.” The military’s soldiers quickly announced the result.
“That’s great!” Zhou Tie couldn’t help but rush over to give Li Mengxi a hug. She was somewhat shy and dodged.
Ruoruo smiled while pulling Li Mengxi to the side, “Mengxi, our captain treats you so well. What’s wrong with a hug between teammates? Plus, it’s something all of us want to see, right?”
Hua Xiaofeng and Kong Shan were laughing and teasing at the side. Everyone knew that Zhou Tie had been fond of Li Mengxi for quite some time, but Li Mengxi had never agreed to him.
“Hug once, be together! Hug once, be together!”
Included the teasing from Ruoruo and a few others, coupled with Zhou Tie’s shamelessness, Li Mengxi didn’t know how to react and was unexpectedly seized in Zhou Tie’s arms.
At that moment, Lin Zhen’s image flashed in Li Mengxi’s mind. Speaking of affection, she felt a certain fondness for Lin Zhen, while she didn’t feel anything towards Zhou Tie.
But what could Lin Zhen bring to her?
“Just forget it! Maybe Lin Zhen has already died in the test area.” Li Mengxi quietly closed her eyes.
“Next, Demon Hunter Squad, come calculate your points.” Folowing the soldier’s call, Shi Lei and others went up.
The first to reveal his spoils was Shi Lei, the total score was 7300.
Next was Zhao Liang, with a score of 5900, and then Gao Yan, with an even lower score, only 5400.
The last one was Ye Tiancheng, his score was somewhat higher, his spoils of war amounted to a total of 7200 points.
The total of the four scores was only 24800.
The soldier asked, “Does your team only have four members? If so, I’ll have to declare that you’ve been eliminated.”
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Shi Lei said, “Wait a minute, we have another person who hasn’t come out of the warrior zone yet. Maybe when he comes out, he will be able to bring a large amount of spoils.”
The soldier of the army remained silent. In fact, the Demon Hunter Squad was the last, and there was only one minute left to the end, he didn’t mind waiting another minute.
Zhou Tie came over at this time, full of joy, still holding Li Mengxi’s hand:
“Hahaha! Demon Hunter, Shi Lei, you guys might as well just stop struggling.
Do you remember our bet?”
The color drained from Shi Lei’s face. He had previously made a bet with the Demon God Squad for a huge sum of one hundred million for the sake of his reputation. If he lost, not only would he be unable to enter Yi Lan, but he would also owe a hundred million. This would be a fatal blow to the Demon Hunter Squad.
“That bet…”
“Don’t tell me you intend to back out of the bet? For martial artists, defaulting signifies a loss of credibility. We’ve all recorded the bet, if you back out I will immediately post the video online. Not only will the Martial Artists Union not let you go, there will also be no place for Demon Hunters in the whole of Ice City, do you believe it?”
The Martial Artists Union was the governing body among martial artists. It was composed of individuals from various martial arts schools, the military, and Base City. They were responsible for managing affairs among martial artists, and wielding a great deterrence power, somewhat like a law enforcement organization in the martial arts world.
“We are not…going back on the bet! If you must gamble, you must be ready to lose!” Shi Lei finally raised his head. His heart despaired. The future of the Demon Hunter Squad was perhaps bleak.
Zhou Tie laughed heartily, holding Li Mengxi’s hand: “Mengxi darling, once we get the hundred million, as the captain I’ll get forty million. How about I buy you an Ocean’s Star necklace? The one that costs ten million each, I know you’ve liked it for a long time.”
Li Mengxi didn’t know how to feel, but she nodded anyway.
She understood what nodding implied. She was unwilling, but this was her choice. After all, hadn’t she always yearned for a wealthy lifestyle? The man before her could provide it for her, she should be content. She could only comfort herself in this way.
“Lin Zhen still hasn’t come out yet.” Zhao Liang murmured begrudgingly.
Ruoruo laughed on the side. Her laughter was charming, but her words were not as pleasant.
“Lin Zhen, what are you expecting him to do? That little flower nurtured in a greenhouse, no, he’s nothing more than a blade of grass. After entering the testing zone, he just found a place to hide and never showed his face. Now he is severely slandered online. Those who once admired him are all saying they were blind. I told you so! A first-timer entering the Wilderness Area, you can’t expect him to show any prowess. Yet some people refused to believe it, now hasn’t my words proven true? How’s the face-slapping, aren’t you guys losing money now? Haha, today’s weather is really good and I’m in a great mood!
Li Mengxi laughed reluctantly and nodded. She just couldn’t be happy.
“Countdown! 10! 9! 8!”
The military official started the countdown, and the members of the Demon Hunter Squad despaired as they glanced at the exit of the small town. They no longer believed in miracles.
Meanwhile, the Demon God Squad was enjoying themselves. In a few more seconds, they would receive a hundred million dollars. This was a huge boost for them.

Li Mengxi lowered her head, letting out a long breath. It was time to say goodbye to the past. Lin Zhen, the boy who always smiled brightly in her memory, goodbye!
Just as the soldier was about to announce the end of the test, a figure suddenly dashed out of the town entrance.
“I’m here! I’m back!”
Lin Zhen sprinted breathlessly to the front of the Demon Hunter Squad, hurriedly stopping in front of them: “How did I do, captain? Was I timely enough in my return?”
The members of the Demon Hunter Squad and the Demon God Squad all stared at Lin Zhen in disbelief, dumbfounded..
