Chapter 156 A Spent Bullet
After returning to the dorm, Gao Ge finally lets go of his camouflage and lies in bed quickly.
Yue Xincheng rushes over to give Gao Ge a massage.
“Boss, it has been a tough day for you.”

Gao Ge heaves a sigh and takes a look at Chen Guo, saying, “Thanks for your help today.”
Chen Guo smiles and shakes his head, “What I said was truth. I am no match for you indeed.”
“But what you did was a good start for me.” Gao Ge says bitterly, “The contest is a big joke. Even Iron Man cannot stand continuous fighting like that.”
“Boss, to what extent can you get recovered over one night?”
“40% or 50%.”
“So little?” Yue Xincheng is surprised. For other cultivators, one night is enough for them to recover the strength to the peak status.
Gao Ge gives a bitter smile, “If you find a Precious Land of Aura for me, I can get fully recovered within one night.”
Yue Xincheng scratches his head and says nothing.
After having a quick meal, Gao Ge sits on the bed cross-legged to start running the Star Rotating Method, hoping to recover his power of stars by 60% in one night.
Yue Xincheng and his other roommates don’t dare to play with their phones or play games even if they cannot fall asleep. It seems that they are afraid to disturb Gao Ge, despite the fact that Gao Ge won’t be disturbed by others while he is running the Star Rotating Method.
When Gao Ge opens his eyes, it has been the next day.
It should be about time now.
He jumps off his bed and finds some spiritual stones are placed on the table.
“We put the spiritual stones here for you. Xia Lu, Meng Jing, Su Hui and the girl called Yang Rui have sent quite some spiritual stones here.” Yue Xincheng hastens to say.
“If this is leaked out, all of you will be expelled out of the Cultivation Academy.” Gao Ge says with a frown.
“It won’t be that serious. We handle this secretly. No one will know it.”
Gao Ge thinks it over and still shakes his head.
Yue Xincheng gets a bit anxious, “Boss, don’t be so sentimental now. Didn’t you take all the spiritual jades yesterday?”
“Those were spiritual jades, not the spiritual stones distributed by the Academy.” Gao Ge says, “If I take these, the Academy must look into this carefully. I have a feeling that they just want to drive me into a corner...”
Hearing that, Yue Xincheng is a bit skeptical. Yet, since Gao Ge is very determined, he cannot insist anyway.
“Help me return the spiritual stones later.” Gao Ge says.
Liang Bufan runs over with Gao Ge’s clothes in his hand.
“I have mended your clothes!”
Gao Ge feels a bit surprised.
“Your clothes were torn yesterday. I cannot do you any other favor so...”
Gao Ge laughs and takes over the clothes, saying thanks to Liang Bufan. After taking a deep breath, he straightens his back and then walks out of the dorm towards the training field.
Gao Ge and his friends arrive in the nick of time.
Their emergence also attracts the attention of everyone.
The star of the contest is Gao Ge, which is undisputed.
“Gao Ge looks quite good today?”
“I wonder how well he has recovered. He is a total freak...”
“Gee, I hope someone can defeat him.”
Some students are moaning and groaning.
It looks as if Gao Ge has been the enemy of all the students in the Cultivation Academy.
Standing on the stage, Gao Ge can’t help sighing. Men cannot be too outstanding. As a saying goes, if a tree stands out in the woods, it will be first destroyed by the wind. The saying just makes perfect sense!
When the contestants start to contend, Gao Ge realizes something is wrong very soon.
He has seriously hurt three contenders with his Flying Star Sword, but no one surrenders anyway.
It is beyond his understanding.
Aren’t these people afraid of death?
Yet, Gao Ge finds that an obvious terror crosses many contenders’ eyes when they look at Gao Ge. Despite that, they still choose to come up to the stage to confront Gao Ge.
Having knocked down a dozen of contenders only, Gao Ge feels it a bit hard to go on.
He turns around to look at Meng Fang, who is smiling weirdly and yet says nothing.
“Crap, these bastards must have done something against me...”
Gao Ge thinks to himself.
Undoubtedly, the contenders who didn’t surrender must have been ordered by somebody.
Fighting over the whole morning has exhausted Gao Ge’s power of stars more or less but he cannot show it to others. Hence, he can only grit his teeth and head to the canteen for lunch.
While having the meal, Gao Ge finally learns the reason from Meng Jing.
“The principal says, anyone who dares to admit defeat will be cut off the monthly spiritual stones.” Meng Jing says angrily.
Gao Ge nods his head and doesn’t feel surprised at all.
He thought of that while he was on the stage. He just wonders why Gongsun Moyang did this to him.
After lunch, Gao Ge’s power of stars is only recovered by 10%. It is more and more difficult for him to cope with the contenders.
“Yue Xincheng!”
Gao Ge doesn’t feel spirited until Meng Fang calls the name.
Yue Xincheng gets on the stage. Instead of admitting defeat, he stands face to face with Gao Ge.
Tick-tock, time passes by.
Meng Fang becomes a bit impatient, saying, “Yue Xincheng, what are you doing?”
Yue Xincheng looks at Meng Fang, saying, “Mr. Meng, if my enemy doesn’t move, I shall not move; if he moves, I shall move first! This is my strategy.”
“Gao Ge, and you?”
“That’s what I am thinking.” Gao Ge says that while trying his best to recover his power of stars.
Meng Fang sneers and says, “If you don’t take any action, I will announce Yue Xincheng is defeated!”
Hearing that, Yue Xincheng feels unhappy and says, “Mr. Meng, how can you do that? You are my teacher! You are doing harm to your student!”
“I don’t have such a cunny student like you.” Meng Fang says angrily.
Yue Xincheng coughs and greets Gao Ge with hands folded in front, “Boss, I am sorry!”
After saying that, he starts to dash towards Gao Ge
“What powerful strength! I cannot go near him!”
Meng Fang can’t stand him anymore, “Can you have a sense of shame?”
Without any words, Yue Xincheng strikes at Gao Ge again and deliberately punches the air.
“Gee! Boss, you are so fast!”
The crowds are also annoyed.
Now they also cannot stand him either.
Can he try even harder at his faking?
Should the audience just turn a blind eye to his performance?
“Yue Xincheng loses!” Meng Fang says with a poker face.
“Why?” Yue Xincheng gets furious and rushes over to argue with Meng Fang but he is kicked off the stage by Meng Fang.
“The next one!”
To take down the next contender, it takes Gao Ge ten minutes.
To take down the second contender, Gao Ge has been punched by him for several times and luckily, he takes the chance to wave the sword, striking him over with his sword spirit.
The third contender is a student of No. 3 Class Heaven, who acts really fast and uses the martial art skill of fist.
With their fists hitting against each other, Gao Ge and the contender are both thrown away. Yet, it takes more time for Gao Ge to get up than the contender.
Those with discerning eyes can notice that Gao Ge has been a spent bullet by now.
