I lost my Copy System and awakened a Plundering System - Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Ending of the Second Selection

“Ahem, your name is Jessica, right?” Draco asked.

“No, it’s Jessa,” she replied.

A silver-haired young man stood in front of a purple-haired young lady. She wore a purple stone-like armor.

Draco nodded, then looked at the armor, a bit surprised. Before, when she tried stripping herself naked, Draco could see that her boobs were big, on par with Lyraea’s own.

But now, when she wore her armor, it made her look a bit flat.

Jessa’s face changed when she saw Draco’s gaze on her chest. Draco then noticed that he had been looking at it for too long.

“If you want to look at it, you are allowed to, it just feels a bit weird,” Jessa said with her red face. “Or do you want me to strip myself?”

Draco’s face turned red. He wasn’t thick-skinned enough to be shameless.

“Ahem! Don’t bring that up again. You haven’t fallen in love with me to be saying this,” Draco said uprightly.

“But I think I am in love with you,” Jessa said, shifting her head to the side, trying to avoid Draco’s gaze. She held her fingers together as her face flushed red like a tomato.

Draco’s expression darkened. What did she mean by being in love with him? Draco felt helpless.

“Let’s leave here,” Draco said. He didn’t want to be seen. Even though he no longer planned on hiding his strength, that didn’t mean he should be too proud and reckless, making himself the enemy of the whole world.

He knew the universe was far vaster than it seemed. If the Origin of Plunder was recognized, it could make the whole universe hunt him down—not to mention the bloodlines he possessed and the Weapon of Plunder, too.

He would only be seeking his own destruction, so it was better to play it safe.

“Aren’t you carrying the palace with you?” Jessa asked in confusion.

Draco also stopped in confusion. “Do you mean I can carry this with me?”

“Yes. Didn’t Master tell you this?” Jessa raised her eyebrows, looking at Draco with pure confusion.

Draco coughed in embarrassment when he saw her reaction. He guessed that either the Weapon God didn’t tell him because of what he did, or maybe the method was in the inheritance.

Either way, he cursed the Weapon God for not saying anything about it.

Draco watched as Jessa performed some quick hand seals. He wasn’t even able to comprehend them all. He watched in shock as the golden palace began to shrink in size, eventually turning into a golden furnace.

Draco was full of shock. Did this mean he had been inside a furnace all along? And how could a furnace turn into a palace?

Jessa noticed Draco’s shocked expression. “Didn’t Master tell you this?” she muttered.

Draco felt embarrassed, cursing the Weapon God. He was sure this was the Weapon God’s way of punishing him for still not trusting him.

Since you don’t trust me, then you wouldn’t trust the information I give you. That must have been the Weapon God’s reasoning for not telling him any of this.

“Let’s move,” Draco told Jessa. They both vanished from the eyes of the world.

The whole crowd of students rushed in, but they stopped when they saw the place where Draco and Jessa had fought.

The aura of this place was shocking—deep gashes all over the earth, deep cracks everywhere, broken trees, remnants of intent lingering, and the aura of annihilation and destruction still rampant.

Everyone treaded carefully; they didn’t want to be severely wounded. And of course, some used this opportunity to eliminate opponents.

The competition was still ongoing as there were more than a thousand participants, which was the number required before they could successfully pass the selection.

Rose, Adrianna, and Blum looked at the remnant aura, feeling more certain that Draco had participated in this battle because this aura was too familiar to them.

But they were also worried. Such an opponent had forced Draco to release such devastating strength—was he able to win?

They all fell into thought while looking at the scene. Meanwhile, Caesar was confused as to why everyone had such expressions. Did something bad happen?

As they were thinking about this, a familiar voice startled them.

“Do you know what happened? Why did everyone gather here?”

They were shocked. Turning around, they saw Draco’s familiar figure. He had a confused expression, wondering what was happening.

For a moment, they doubted themselves—maybe they were wrong. But then they thought about how Draco wouldn’t want others to know about this. They were in another academy’s domain; if this was noticed, they wouldn’t like what would happen.

They began explaining how they saw a meteor descending. When they followed it, they saw it land at the center of the small world.

They approached it but were blocked by a barrier. However, after repeated attacks, they managed to break through.

But as they entered, they were met with unexpected battle shockwaves, which led them to this moment.

Draco put on a surprised expression while inwardly deep in thought. As expected, it was the meteor’s descent that attracted everyone, but he never expected that the shockwave from his battle with Jessa would reach this far.

They successfully crossed the battleground and were surprised to see a golden palace. Its aura was intimidating and powerful.

Everyone was shocked—both those in the arena and those watching the live broadcast. They were all amazed.

As for the Royal Academy, their hearts were dripping with blood. There had been such a treasure within their small world, and yet they missed it, giving the other academies a chance to claim it.

What they were praying for now was that their academy would be the one to obtain the treasure inside. But what they didn’t know was that the treasure had already been taken—there was literally nothing left.

Draco smiled when he saw how everyone’s eyes shone with greed upon seeing the palace. He smirked, knowing that only he understood what had truly happened.

This was just a projection caused by Jessa. He had thought of many things when Jessa withdrew the palace, reducing its size into a furnace.

There was no way strong cultivators wouldn’t notice the aura left by the treasure, even if the participants didn’t.

He had asked her if there was anything that could be done to make this place still look like a treasure site. He had to be careful not to expose himself.

Luckily, Jessa had managed to create a projection of the golden palace. He then compressed the remnant aura into the projection to deceive them.

As for Jessa, she had hidden herself within the golden furnace. Draco was surprised to discover that it contained a world of its own. The furnace had been placed inside his system space.

Someone might notice it if he carried it around, so it was better to keep it where it couldn’t be seen.

As they all eyed the palace, some looked at others. There were some who weren’t worthy of being here.

The scramble began as they all started fighting against one another.

Draco searched the crowd and spotted some familiar faces, but he needed to kill someone.

Finally, he set his eyes on the target. “This should be his real body.”

Likewise, the person also locked eyes with Draco. Their gazes were filled with killing intent.

As Draco moved…

[The second selection of the contest has finally ended. All participants should stop fighting, or he/she will be revoked from the competition.]

The robotic voice instantly calmed the battle. The remaining students began to glow as they disappeared from the small world.
