Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 2823

Chapter 2823: 2823

Zhou Qiushi was the most talented among the group . A wave of radiance instantly chased away the mist and fog in his dao heart .

The other students also benefited, albeit slower compared to him . Their dao heart became less hazy as well .

“Poof . ” Zhou Qiushi finally knocked down a fruit .

“I got one!” He became ecstatic and shouted .

His peers looked over and rejoiced . They held their breath and focused up in order to try .

Meanwhile, Zhou Qiushi continued trying with the fruits nearby . Unfortunately, he couldn’t get a second one to drop .

“Poof!” Another talented disciple finally got one, resulting in cheers all around .

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a third student successfully got one . No one else managed to do during this time, not even Qiushi .

In fact, getting three fruits was already exceeding their capabilities .

The circumstances permitted their success due to their motivation and Du Wenrui’s guidance . Du Wenrui himself thought that only Qiushi would be able to get one . Thus, this was a resounding success with two more students being able to do it .

“Hey, time’s up . ” The student from Dawn shouted .

The group had no choice but to get down from the tree . They looked slightly ashamed .

“I think we’ve lost . ” Qiushi quietly told Li Qiye .

The other students remained silent too . They mentally prepped themselves for something even more humiliating - crawling around the valley and barking like a dog .

Li Qiye still had a smile on his face and didn’t respond .

“You guys did a great job . Keep it up for a bright future . ” Du Wenrui nodded approvingly .

“Only three? I can get five for sure . ” The student from Dawn sneered .

“Go for it then . ” Li Qiye said without giving a damn .

“What about you? Don’t think about backing out . ” He glared at Li Qiye .

“Go first, I’ll wait till you’re done . It’s an easy victory anyway . ” Li Qiye smiled in response .

“Okay, then start the time now . When time’s up, it’ll be your loss whether you have tried or not . ” He sneered .

“So be it . The next set of time will determine the victor . ” Li Qiye said .

“Start!” He leaped on top of the tree and began knocking the mature fruits . Meanwhile, Li Qiye stood there, seemingly not ready to start .

“Junior Brother, go try or you’ll run out of time . ” Qiushi softly urged .

Though they weren’t hopeful about his success, an attempt was still better than doing nothing .

“No rush, there’s plenty of time left . Let him go first . ” Li Qiye said .

The group gave up on persuading this fella .

“Poof! Poof! Poof!” Meanwhile, their opponent has gotten multiple fruits .

The group’s heart was hanging on a thread, especially when a third fruit fell .

“We’re losing for sure . ” Their only hope has been extinguished .

“Junior Brother, go try already!” One student raised his voice at Li Qiye .

Li Qiye didn’t move an inch, still looking nonchalant .

“Please hurry!” The group became more nervous as time passed . They were ready to push him up the tree by this point .

“What is he doing? Does he want to renege?” The students from the other academies wondered .

“Haha, don’t worry, everyone saw him accepting the bet . He can’t back out now . ” One of them sneered, more than willing to shame the students from Repentance even more .

“Poof!” Finally, the student from Dawn got a total of five fruits . He kept on trying but couldn’t get another, realizing that this was his limit .

He jumped down even though time wasn’t up .

“Five . ” He laughed heartily while showing off his harvest .

“Amazing, Brother Dingyu, looks like you’re already an Ascender . ” A student noticed his cultivation and praised him .

“Thank you, I’ve only recently broken through . ” The Dawn student named Zhang Dingyu smiled . His words indicated humility but his expression was full of arrogance . [1]

“I can’t believe it, you’re really a genius . ” The students nearby flattered him in succession .

“I won with five . ” Dingyu snorted and stared contemptuously at Qiushi’s group .

The group was pale after seeing five . Though they already knew that they would lose, reality unfolding before them still hurt all the same .

They didn’t blame Li Qiye for not trying at all because that wouldn’t change anything . Even if Li Qiye could somehow get one fruit, they would still only have four . The dozens of them only got three so why would they blame him for not getting any? Moreover, he even joined the institution later than them .

The only thing they could do right now was bracing themselves for the upcoming disgrace .

“Calm down, it’s too early for conclusion when I have yet to start . ” Li Qiye said insipidly and interrupted Dingyu’s gloating .

“You?” Dingyu guffawed after hearing this: “You don’t even dare to climb up there, let alone get some fruits . Okay, there is still one minute left, go see if you can get one now out of sheer luck . But don’t forget, even a miracle of getting one fruit is still not enough . ”

“Got it . ” Li Qiye said .

“Tick tock, start climbing already . You’re running out of time but I suppose struggling is useless anyway . You’ll all bark like dogs soon enough for that is your fate . Let everyone hear the barking of wretches from Repentance…” Dingyu laughed again .

“No need to climb . ” Li Qiye smiled and flicked his finger .

“Poof! Poof! Poof!” A rain of fruits suddenly descended after his finger flick .

This scene was magnificent - dozens of White Hair Fruits fell down like a miracle .

Everyone became slack-jawed as a result, including Qiushi's group . They felt that this was just a dream . How could these fruits rain down like this?

“ . . . ” The spectators became frozen while Li Qiye swung his sleeve and caught all the fruits with a smile .

“Enough for everyone . ” Having said that, he threw the fruits perfectly, giving his peers one each .

The students from Repentance couldn’t believe it despite holding the fruits in their hands .

“Forget it, I’ll be merciful and leave some for the rest . ” Li Qiye glanced at the tree and declared .

No one moved an inch, still trying to make sense of what had transpired just now .

1 . We finally know his name! I wonder why it took the author so long this time
