Chapter 43: Two Billion Wu Bounty

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Soon after the news of Feng Da’s death reached Shenwei Military Academy Headquarters, Du Xiongwu was informed.

Feng Da was a famous martial arts nerd in the academy and Du Xiongwu’s most loyal man—he pretty much served as both his arms. Feng Da’s death hurt a lot more to Du Xiongwu than the death of his son.

“Do whatever it takes, I want Yang Tian dead! Raise the Warrior Bounty ten times higher—no, 20 times! I don’t believe nobody wouldn’t be moved by that amount,” said Du Xiongwu, gritting his teeth when he received the report from one of his men.

If it was not for the fact that he was the principal of Shenwei Military Academy and a Class Eight Warrior, Du Xiongwu would be more than happy to take matters into his own hands and kill Yang Tian himself.

“Sir, 20 times higher than the original reward amounts to two billion Wu! Isn’t that too much?” His man was shocked when Du Xiongwu announced the amount.

Two billion Wu was the price of a Grade Six Beast Core. Normally, the amount of a Warrior Bounty was determined by the class rating of the Warrior in question. Du Xiongwu announced the rate of a Grade Six Beast Core, meaning he treated Yang Tian as a Grade Six Warrior.

A Warrior Bounty was not limited to the Warriors in Tianxiong City, Warriors from other cities could take up the manhunt mission as well.

The two million Wu reward that was announced before were not looked upon highly by most Warriors who were Class Five and above—the amount seemed lukewarm for them. As for the warriors who were Class Four and below, they knew where their abilities were and had no desire to risk their lives in the heart of the Danger Zone.

One should have known that, according to the news that came out of Tianwei Military Academy, Yang Tian’s level had already surpassed Class Four.

In that case, most Warriors would just stick to their normal tasks, save for a few who wanted to try their luck! There were not many reactions toward a bounty like that.

However, things were different after that…

Two billion Wu was extremely attractive to a Class Six Warrior.

When they saw the bounty, the Warriors in Tianxiong City were all hyped up. In only a matter of three days, 200 Warriors left the city, and that did not include the Warriors outside of the city.

Among them were a majority of Class Four Warriors and above.

Judging from the amount of reward, everybody understood that Yang Tian was not easy to kill. While Class Four Warriors could assemble teams to go for the manhunt, Class Three Warriors and below could forget about it! If they ran into Yang Tian, nothing but death would await.

Other than the Warriors from Tianxiong City, Warriors from nearby Safe Zones, such as Guyang City, Yufeng City, Qingfeng City, and more, were taking off one after another, traveling toward the coordinates issued by Shenwei Military Academy.

Almost no Warriors knew what Yang Tian looked like because he rose to the ranks too suddenly, but the bounty provided his photograph.

It was his high school graduation photo, he looked so young and naive in it.

However, it was exactly that teenager who killed Feng Da!

One should realize that Yang Tian did not only enjoy fame in Tianxiong City, but also in nearby cities.

To ensure the prosperity of the Warriors, there would be an international Martial Arts Convention, and any Warrior who was age 35 or below could take part in the competition. The top 1000 Warriors would receive a handsome amount of prize money.

At the last convention, Feng Da’s otherworldly chain saber left a very deep impression. His ranking was in the 800s which made him an international sensation of sorts among the younger Warriors.

This international sensation, however, was killed by Yang Tian…

Therefore, no one dared to take Yang Tian lightly.

As soon as the new reward for the Warrior Bounty was announced, a strong force was formed. It was so strong that Yang Tian could hardly breathe under it.

The reason Yang Tian received the news was, of course, because he turned on his Warriormate.

It was true that the Warriormate had a GPS function because it was connected to the internet. Yang Tian kept it because he wanted to use it to lure his hunters to another place. He did not expect to see news like that as soon as he turned it on.

It was him against the world!

Just as a real man should be!

…

“Brother, why are we leaving the city? Don’t tell me we’re also going to kill Number Eight?” asked Zhao Wu with a smile, after parking their vehicles 100 kilometers outside the city. Led by Xiao Fei, the team assembled and left the city as soon as they received the bounty.

The whole team started laughing as soon as Zhao Wu said that.

Of course, they were not going there to kill Yang Tian, instead, they were sending supplies to him. They knew how difficult life must have been for him, being hunted and so on, so they came up with that idea after a group discussion.

Once they saw Yang Tian, they would just leave him the stuff and leave…

“I didn’t expect Number Eight to be so amazing. He actually managed to kill Feng Da from Shenwei Academy. That growth was too fast, no?” exclaimed Wang Tian while they were walking.

Zhao Wu said proudly, “During that Monster Wave when I saw Number Eight running into the pack of Monsters first, I knew something was special about him. I don’t claim to be good at anything, but I do have good eyes for people.”

“You keep telling that yourself!” said Zhou Feng as she glanced at him, curling her lips with a smile.

…

The seven of them chatted while heading deep into the Danger Zone.

The Warrior Bounty was released internationally—even the Warriors from Hero City in Europe received it as well.

The university Qin Fei studied in was called Boria University, and it was an elite school. The youngsters who studied there were mostly relatives of Warriors. A small number of the students were very skillful Warriors themselves.

“Qin Fei, your boyfriend’s wanted around the world. What a phenomenon he has created!” A pretty blonde girl told Qin Fei with a smile, as she saw her walking into the library just after getting off her biology class.

As soon as she heard that, she grabbed the blonde girl’s arm and asked, “Is that true, Nora?”

Nora raised her arm, pointed at her Warriormate, and said, “Look, this is a Warrior Bounty issued by Shenwei Military Academy of Tianxiong City. There’s his picture too. It’s the same guy in your cellphone wallpaper!”

Qin Fei looked at the picture carefully and realized it really was Yang Tian!

“Nora, I need to go back to the dorm right away and call my grandpa,” said Qin Fei, turning around and leaving with a book clutched on her chest.

When she got back to her single room dorm, Qin Fei called her grandfather’s cellphone.

“Little Fei, how’s life in the university?” When the call was connected, Qin Zhengyang’s booming tone came through Qin Fei’s phone.

Without even taking the time to greet him, she immediately asked, “Grandpa, how did Yang Tian end up getting pursued? Didn’t you say he’s doing fine?”

Qin Zhengyang laughed and said, “Don’t you worry! Yang Tian will be okay. The fact that he stirred up such a big mess makes me kind of proud of him!”

“Grandpa, this is no time for jokes! No! I must come back. I want to look for him.” She became anxious as soon as she thought of Yang Tian’s dangerous situation.

Qin Zhengyang was still laughing. “Wouldn’t you be adding more trouble for Yang Tian if you come back now? Listen to grandpa, stay at school and wait for good news from him…”

After that, Qin Zhengyang consoled Qin Fei with a whole speech and was finally able to calm his granddaughter.

After the call, Qin Fei’s face was full of worries.

Right then, her doorbell rang.

It was the beautiful blonde girl, Nora.

Qin Fei opened the door. “Nora, why are you here?”

Nora went into Qin Fei’s room and said, “There’s another thing I need to tell you. After Mark received the news, he left school saying he wants to challenge your boyfriend.”

“But how come? Mark is our good friend, how can he do something like that!?” Qin Fei was very surprised.

Nora smiled and said, “Because Mark likes you, but you like Yang Tian. Therefore, he wants to defeat Yang Tian and prove his worth to win your heart. This is our custom here in Europe.”

Qin Fei looked even more worried when she said that.

Seeing her worried face, Nola smiled and said, “Don’t you worry, even though Mark is a Class Six Warrior, he wouldn’t kill Yang Tian.”

However, Qin Fei shook her head, she said, “What I’m worried about is, what if Yang Tian kills Mark?”

Nora laughed when she said that, “Qin Fei, calm down. That won’t happen.”
