Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1922: Bragging number 1 novice (3)

“What I meant was, his lack of fear of death shows he has the courage to challenge. And as an expert yourself, you should also understand that having potential alone is not enough for a person; it must be realized. And being on the edge of life and death is the fastest way to realize potential.”

This point was probably a publicly recognised rule. Cheng Su had to admit it, too.

White Robe indeed improved himself through repeated battles, reaching a high level at a ‘very young age’.

Ye Zhongming looked at Cheng Su’s expression and knew this array master was somewhat persuaded.

“Also, White Robe isn’t dead.”

“It’s the same principle as what I said earlier about Jie Su not dying in the Novice battlefield. White Robe is crazy; his fighting style is aggressive. If it were someone else, they might have died long ago. But he didn’t. What does that mean? It means his madness, his recklessness, are measured and controlled. He has mastered that… degree!”

“When he always manages not to die, perhaps no one will be able to kill him anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Su narrowed his eyes. Even Yisewei and Jie Su seemed thoughtful.

Yes, everyone outside knew White Robe was crazy, knew he fought without regard for his life. But did he die? No. He was severely wounded countless times, but were there any times when he had left himself handicapped or with future issues? No!

If they hadn’t thought about it, it was fine, but once they did, they realized their friend seemed somewhat complicated.

Recalling past events, both Yisewei and Jie Su had a thought.

This guy, whose combat power currently had a certain gap compared to theirs, wouldn’t really, as Ye Zhongming said, reach a point in the future where no one could kill him, would he?

Cheng Su took a deep breath for a long time, then finally nodded and said, “This barely counts as you passed. Tell me the third point.”

“Third, me!”

If Yisewei and Jie Su had been drinking water at that moment, they would have surely spat it out, and specifically spat it all over Ye Zhongming’s face.

They were talking about White Robe. Why were you butting in?

Cheng Su also felt, for the first time, that this kid was quite funny and quite proficient in the skill of self-praise.

But soon, he realized that self-praise had a whole new level.

“I am even younger. My current Furelai.. uh, haven’t measured it yet. However, based on battlefield experience, it should be between 1,500 and 1,700. By the time I reach White Robe’s age, I estimate it will be thirty thousand.”

Everyone in the room, except Cheng Su, collectively covered their foreheads.

Fine, even if White Robe wasn’t the most awesome heaven’s favored one, he was still a genius. So hardworking, so desperate, and only around 17,000 Furelai at this age. Even if he slightly held back, it wouldn’t exceed 20,000. But you directly say 30,000? Yisewei was a heaven’s favored daughter, cultivated since childhood, and still not very old now. How much was her Furelai?

“I know you all don’t believe me, just like before entering the Novice battlefield, no one believed I could take first place.”

This sentence made those who, without saying it aloud, thought Ye Zhongming was talking nonsense in their hearts, pause.

Right, the person before them was the Novice number one. Who could have predicted that before? He not only made himself number one, but his points were so high that they made the Star-Eye Clan the total score number one, too!

Having achieved such impossible things, it seemed there was nothing wrong with him saying he would surpass White Robe in the future.

After all, White Robe never got Novice number one.

“I owe White Robe a debt of favor, owe Yisewei a debt of favor, and also owe Jie Su a debt of favor.” Ye Zhongming waved his hand. “I am someone who will definitely repay what I owe, and will repay as much as possible.”

“And through this Novice battlefield, I think Jie Su is very good. I consider him a friend. And towards my friends, I have always been very nice.”

If someone from the country were here at this moment, they would definitely feel that Ye Zhongming’s words were exactly the same as those boastful big brothers in movies.

“Never mind whether you are qualified to be Jie Su’s friend, even if you are, does that mean Jie Su is qualified to aspire to the Su Clan’s top position?” Originally, Cheng Su didn’t entirely agree with Ye Zhongming’s previous analysis, but he did agree with part of it. However, upon hearing Ye Zhongming’s such arrogant words, his anger towards this person, which had faded, returned.

“Yes!” Ye Zhongming said something that would lose friends; his expression was still that self-assured, smug look.

“If I can achieve Novice number one, I can achieve other number ones. I will, together with White Robe, lead the Star-Eye Clan to revival and become a new, powerful force among the cosmic races. At that time, we will go all out to assist Jie Su to ascend to that position.”

Cheng Su stood up, looked deeply at Ye Zhongming, and, while walking out, said, “Then I will wait for that day.”

………………

The Su Clan people left the Star-Eye Clan camp. It seemed they wouldn’t have any further interaction with them until the camp closed.

Yisewei and Ye Zhongming stood outside, watching the coming and going of people in the camp.

The rankings were set. Everyone was waiting for the final reward settlement.

“Was that you repaying Jie Su’s debt of favor?”

Yisewei originally didn’t think much of this little guy from the Star-Eye Clan. Even if he performed very well on the Novice battlefield, once his strength was restored, that level of attack would be ineffective against her. But besides White Robe’s difference in opinion, the Sheke Star’s mistress now had a brand new understanding of Ye Zhongming.

When Ye Zhongming faced Cheng Su earlier, he seemed to act very childish, with some amusing self-inflation. For a moment, Yisewei also felt this person was somewhat too shameless. But upon second thought, she guessed Ye Zhongming’s true intention.

He was helping Jie Su to improve his status within the clan. If he could turn part of what he said today into reality in the future, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to help Jie Su win over Cheng Su, a powerful ally.

At the very least, he was taking the heat for Jie Su, making the Su Clan hesitate, not to punish the direct-line member who risked himself too severely.

Naturally, for Ye Zhongming’s actions to be effective, the greatest reliance was on Yisewei and her Sheke Star. This was an outright utilization. But Yisewei didn’t mind. From White Robe, Jie Su, and Ye Zhongming, she experienced a ‘like-mindedness’ she had only heard of but never felt before.

“No. You, White Robe, Jie Su, and those alive or dead, all saved my life. A debt of favor isn’t repaid like that. Otherwise, how could I have the face to meet you all in the future?”

Ye Zhongming shook his head. It was true he was helping Jie Su just now, but he didn’t think that could offset the debt to Jie Su.

“You are more mature than I imagined and have adapted very quickly to this place.” At this moment, Yisewei acted more like a qualified successor of a super major clan, not the love-crazed girl in the impression of the cosmic races.

The King of the Sheke Star had never interfered too much with Yisewei, perhaps considering this a kind of protective coloring.

“I have to leave. I’ve already had someone transfer my points to White Robe. You can use them. When White Robe wakes up, tell him that this time, for his sake, I truly angered my father. I can’t follow him around like before. If…”

Yisewei paused, her gaze becoming deep.

“If he remembers my goodness, come find me… But remember to be quick. Also, he must be strong by then.”

“You all must be strong.”
