Chapter 153
Chapter 154 Countdown to Silence
“You have died. Do you want to use a Substitute Scarecrow to revive? Countdown: 10, 9, 8 p>
Silence.
Revive just to die again?
He had no mood to keep fighting. His last trump card was gone. That loss was too
serious.
Garfield chose not to use the Substitute Scarecrow.
“Whoosh p>
“Whoosh p>
Both of them were pulled out of the arena and appeared in the spectator stands.
Garfield’s face went dark. His teeth clenched tight.
“Joanna, my family will come for you. They will take back everything that is mine p>
Joanna snorted. “What, can’t fight your own battles? Running home like a crybaby p>
Did she care about offending the Lowes?
Not at all.
She had already entered the academy. From now on, whether she became a god or demon, as long as she stayed alive and kept training, she would reach the level of those great families one day.
Garfield left dejectedly. The others had already scattered. No one wanted to stay and get mocked by Joanna.
But those who remained showed their respect.
“Joanna, you got into the program with an S-rank talent. That proves you’re not

weaker than an SSS-rank. You might even be stronger. Don’t mind those clowns p>
“That’s right. Talent can grow. Push it far enough, and even S-rank can do the impossible p>
“And if you save enough credits, you can buy a talent upgrade stone. You already crush them in real fights p>
“Joanna, tell me honestly. How much did you make this time p>
Some people praised her. Others tried to dig for numbers.
Joanna didn’t want to make more enemies. “Everyone, I’ve been fighting for a long time. I’m tired, so I’m heading back to rest. None of you have used Dimensional Origin Energy yet, right? I’m going back to train too p>
She gave a small wave. Then she signaled to Nighthowl. He opened a portal at once and sent them back to their dorm.
They also brought Katherine with them.
The moment they arrived, Katherine jumped up and shouted, “Joanna! We’re rich! We’re really rich p>
She wired the money right away.
“You received 361 billion Starcoins p>
They had truly struck gold.
Joanna sent back 20 billion Starcoins.
“This is your cut. Without you helping, I couldn’t have made this money p>
Katherine laughed so hard she nearly bent over. “Hahahah! I would take this, but 20 billion is too much. I’ll return 1 billion. I’ll count it as my tuition fee for the program. Everyone else spent money. I didn’t. My conscience can’t take it. Still, wow, the other 10 billion is insane. I don’t even know how to spend it p>
“Easy. Buy one Diamond-tier skill. It’ll be gone in a second p>

“True. I’m going to my room to plan my shopping.” Katherine waved and left.
Joanna watched her go, then checked her credits.
She bet against 13 people who had earned a total of 453 points. But those points. had to be used on rooms and supplies, so the real gain was a bit lower.
Add Joanna’s original 72 points. Then count the 1,000-plus attributes she took from Garfield as 10 more points. That made 535 points in total.
Half of the goal was done on the very first day.
What once felt impossible had already been achieved.
She still had money left. She could upgrade her skills or boost something else.
But there was no immediate danger. Joanna decided to save it. It might be more useful later.
Because of the forum drama, she had wasted time in the arena. Now she was finally back on track.
“I have enough money to move into a villa,” she said. “But I haven’t used today’s energy from the apartment yet. I’ll use it up before we change to the villa p>
“Then you train. We’ll go earn more credits!” her beasts said.
“Sounds good p>
In the apartment, a tall machine stood in the center of the room. It was about chest-high and impossible to miss. It was the Dimensional Origin Energy training pod.
Joanna lay inside and pressed the switch. White mist poured in and wrapped around her body, feeding her strength.
The pod could only be used for two hours.
She didn’t even need to focus. The energy flowed into her on its own.
Her attributes rose slowly, bit by bit.

She set a two-hour alarm and fell asleep.

Finished
At the same time, more and more students moved in early.
No one wanted to fall behind.
The newcomers all checked the credits leaderboard. When they saw Joanna at the top with a total score of 545, they were dumbfounded.
“I just arrived. I ranked first in both the SAT Trial and the Star Domain Battle, and I only have 50 points. How does an S-rank talent have 545 p>
“You don’t get it. Joanna has S-rank affinity. She just waves her hand, and people hand over their points. She’s a top-tier seductress p>
“Hey! That’s messed up. Don’t mislead new students like that p>
“Still talking trash about Joanna? Careful, or she’ll drag you straight into the arena p>
“Haha. Nice try. I’m not falling for that. I’m staying right here p>
