There's Something Fishy About This Drawing Box!

Everyone else is studying their opponents, Chu Xinghe only studies his teammates!

Yuzheng is completely finished... He's definitely going to be in last place.

If we didn't put him in last place, wouldn't he just sweep all five opponents in one go?

Even though Yuzheng is in last place, it's hard for us to lose. But if you look at it from another angle, if the four of us in front of us get swept, and then Yuzheng comes on and gets swept five in one go, wouldn't it be a shameful win for us?

After all, our team is a collective. Can a victory with one god carrying four useless players really be considered a victory?

But who should go up first?

Mu Bai?

Taixing... Don't let Mu Bai's expression of "I can't do it, Senior Brother Xinghe... Don't make me go on stage, I'm so scared" fool you, this guy is incredibly ruthless.

He's the type who, after completely crushing someone, still has to say, "Junior brother, how could you be so bad... It's not that I'm amazing, it's just that you're too weak, I'm really no good..."

Therefore, Mu Bai cannot be released in the short term, and Mu Bai is ranked second to last.

Next up is Ouyang Ling. Speaking of Ouyang Ling, Chu Xinghe's head is spinning. What strange abilities does Ouyang Ling's spirit cat possess? Is it really only the Spirit Enchantment Technique?

What strange mutations are there?

Forget it, Ouyang Ling's abilities are too hard to fathom, so you Ouyang Ling, are third to last.

After much deliberation, only Ouyang Ming, who looked completely bewildered, remained.

"Ouyang... talk to Senior Brother Xinghe properly. Besides weapon crafting, what else has your Nebula Spirit Cat learned?"

"No!"

"You're talking nonsense! I saw him flipping the wok last time!"

"Cough cough cough... Yes... and cooking skills too..."

"Besides cooking skills, what else?" Chu Xinghe stared at Ouyang Ming with piercing eyes.

Ouyang Ming burst into tears.

"Senior Brother Xinghe... I swear to God, I really didn't hide anything this time... My Nebula Spirit Cat's dual cultivation of cooking utensils is already very difficult... I simply don't have time to learn anything else... So Senior Brother Xinghe, please don't let me go on stage, let Yuzheng go instead, he can definitely take on five opponents at once, can't we just lie down and relax?"

Seeing Ouyang Ming's teary-eyed and adorable appearance, Chu Xinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Chu Xinghe made a stroke of his pen, Ouyang Ming went first, while he himself went second.

Although Chu Xinghe really wanted to be the first to go up and embarrass himself, wouldn't it be a bit too outrageous for someone like me, who doesn't even have a spirit beast, to go up and lose to someone else just because of a disagreement?

So I let Ouyang Ming go first. After he loses, I'll go up and give everyone an even bigger surprise. As the saying goes, even losing should be done in a progressive way, right?

Chu Xinghe kicked away the tearful and adorable Ouyang Ming, finished his troop deployment, and then had a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, teams from all sides gathered in the Spirit Beast City arena area.

Once the top 100 teams are determined, all teams will be placed in the same pool for a random draw.

What? You're saying what if they're unlucky and the two strong teams meet early?

This question has been raised before, but Chu Xinghe said that a strong person not only needs strength, but also a bit of luck.

Look at the luck of the Cloud Firmament Sect. They can draw the Martial Emperor City they want. So if your luck is truly heaven-defying, then it's your destiny.

What? Even if you avoid some strong teams today, does that mean you won't encounter them again later?

A true strongman is one who personally defeats everything to ascend to the throne.

Amidst everyone's attention, the draw began... In order to avoid any further instances of anyone feeling targeted, the Grand Elder first randomly selected one person from the remaining nine Grand Elders, who would then act as the referee for all the draws.

Kun Forest Sect Lin Zhenhui, the Grand Elder of the Kunlin Sect, was chosen to participate in the lottery.

As Elder Lin continued to draw, the opponents from all sides were determined one by one.

However, when Elder Lin was drawing opponents for their Kun Forest Sect, the scene became somewhat out of control...

The moment Elder Lin opened the name card of the Kun Forest Sect's opponents, everyone's eyes widened!

Three gleaming, gold-plated characters leapt out at the top: Martial Emperor City!

The audience. "???"

This lottery box is rigged!

Is it possible for anyone to draw a character that turns their opponent into Martial Emperor City?

In an instant, Elder Lin's smile vanished, and tears welled up in his eyes.

This lottery box is definitely rigged... Does it mean whoever draws it will win the Martial Emperor City?

Is this even reasonable?

At this moment, all the elders' expressions changed drastically... Damn, has anyone ever seen such a bizarre lottery box before?

If we follow this method, in the next round we'll randomly select one person to draw lots. Does that mean whoever goes up will encounter Martial Emperor City?

Isn't this lottery a bit too outrageous?

The elders from all sides were overjoyed, thankful they hadn't been drawn this round; otherwise, wouldn't they have been wiped out like the Kun Forest Sect?

Similarly, the people of Martial Emperor City were also stunned by the result... However, Martial Emperor City were also sighing... Thank goodness it wasn't the Grand Elder of the Vast Heaven Sect who drew the lots... If he had drawn them, would Martial Emperor City have been facing off against the Vast Heaven Sect?

The thought of it makes me tremble!

The Vast Heaven Sect was quickly drawn out as well... The Vast Heaven Sect's opponent was the Battle Heaven Pavilion!

The moment the draw results were announced, the people from the Battle Heaven Pavilion almost fainted from the shock.

One second we were laughing at the Kun Forest Sect for their bad luck in running into the Martial Emperor City, and the next second we're facing the Vast Heaven Sect? What the hell?

Um... Kun Forest Sect, how about we switch? We're willing to fight to the death in Martial Emperor City, and hand over Vast Heaven Sect to you, okay?

This lottery has brought joy to some and sorrow to others, and even the elders of each sect are quite worried... Please, don't make us draw lots again next round; we don't want to go home so early...

But whether you're worried or not, the competition must continue.

The five members of the Battle Heaven Pavilion walked onto the arena with almost bitter faces.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, I am Xu Dong from the Battle Heaven Pavilion... Please, Senior Brother Xinghe, show mercy..." Xu Dong bowed to Chu Xinghe while pleading.

There was no other way; Xu Dong finished their previous match early, so they went to watch the Vast Heaven Sect vs. Flowing Cloud Sect match early as well.

Feng Yuzheng clearly saw the scene of the Flowing Cloud Sect being unable to take care of itself, filmed single-handedly by the elegant Nebula Spirit Cat.

Xu Dong sighed at the time, "The Flowing Cloud Sect is just too unlucky..."

Who knows which unlucky soul will run into the Vast Heaven Sect down there? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Now I know... that unlucky guy was me...

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Xu, I've ranked Feng Yuzheng last!" Chu Xinghe looked at Xu Dong with a reassuring expression.

Upon hearing Senior Brother Xinghe's words, Xu Dong's eyes welled up with tears...

As expected of Chu Xinghe, who is known for his unparalleled benevolence and righteousness... he truly lives up to his reputation.

If it were Xu Dong in this match, he would definitely put Feng Yuzheng first to go out and complete the feat of defeating five opponents in one go. After all, this would not only be safe, but more importantly, it would allow Vast Heaven Sect to preserve its strength.

The others simply couldn't see what abilities the remaining members of the Vast Heaven Sect possessed.

This was absolutely the most advantageous formation for the Vast Heaven Sect, but Senior Brother Xinghe, to show mercy, placed Feng Yuzheng last. What a benevolent act!

After thanking Senior Brother Xinghe for his strategic deployment, Xu Dong stepped onto the stage as the first player on their team.

On the Vast Heaven Sect's side, Ouyang Ming calmly walked onto the arena.

Looking at Ouyang Ming's calm demeanor, you might think Ouyang Ming has some secret weapon.

Chu Xinghe, who knew Ouyang Ming, knew that Ouyang Ming was a complete idiot!

That's just the kind of person Ouyang Ming is. No matter how nervous he is, he won't show it. Others are afraid of losing face after they lose, but tell me, what's so scary about Ouyang Ming?

Both sides took their positions, and the spirit beasts then appeared.

Xu Dong's spirit beast is a golden tiger that radiates light; when the tiger ascends the stage, its roar shakes the heavens.

The tiger was enveloped in icy aura; it was a Frost Giant Tiger, and a rare, mutated one at that. It not only possessed the frost power of Frost Giant Tiger, but also most of the metal-type attributes, and its physical strength was extremely powerful.

At this moment, as the Frost Giant Tiger stepped onto the stage, Chu Xinghe burst into tears...

A tiger versus a cat... it seems like the tiger is the clear winner!

Just as everyone was marveling at how terrifying the mutated Frost Giant Tiger was, Ouyang Ming released his Nebula Spirit Cat.

But the moment Nebula Spirit Cat landed, things got a little out of control...

Has anyone ever seen Nebula Spirit Cat carrying a large pot on its back, a ladle in its left paw, a spatula in its right, and wearing an apron?

At this moment, the Vast Heaven Sect members watching from below the stage wished they could hide their heads in their crotches. Their faces seemed to say, "Don't look at me, I don't know this person on stage, he's definitely not from our Vast Heaven Sect... Our Vast Heaven Sect's cats don't do things this outrageously..."

Is this Nebula Spirit Cat design for real?

The Grand Elder was itching to teleport away... Although he knew the Artifact Refining Palace was acting outrageously, he was thinking, "Ouyang Ming, it's one thing to be outrageous at home, but can you at least not embarrass yourself on the arena?"

What? You want your Nebula Spirit Cat to cook a couple of dishes right here?

"Cough cough cough... Wrong... I took the wrong one..." Ouyang Ming also realized there was a problem. He had been so busy having Nebula Spirit Cat cook yesterday that he forgot to change its equipment.

Ouyang Ming rushed forward and helped Nebula Spirit Cat remove the soup ladle, spatula, large pot on its back, and apron. After removing these four cooking tools, Ouyang Ming practically fled to the bottom of the arena.

With Ouyang Ming's departure, the competition began.

Although Xu Dong also felt that the Nebula Spirit Cat's appearance was somewhat outrageous, he couldn't care less at the moment. This was the Vast Heaven Sect after all... No matter how outrageous it seemed, he had to attack with all his might and absolutely could not underestimate any Vast Heaven Sect member or his Nebula Spirit Cat.

Under Xu Dong's command, the Frost Giant Tiger made its move first, and snowflakes fell all around, freezing the entire arena into an ice surface almost instantly.

Standing on the ice, the Frost Giant Tiger was not only unaffected, but its speed was greatly increased. With the help of the ice, the Frost Giant Tiger launched an attack. Its body was flashing with golden light, and it pounced to Ouyang Ming's Nebula Spirit Cat.

The enormous tiger and the small Nebula Spirit Cat seemed to be on completely different levels, and Ouyang Ming's Nebula Spirit Cat was as if it were frozen in fear, standing there motionless.

Such a stark clash of forces drew gasps of shock from countless onlookers, for it was simply too cruel...

Such an adorable kitten, facing such a powerful tiger, this is clearly not a fight on the same level.

Just as many young girls covered their mouths, unable to bear to watch, a loud bang suddenly came from the arena.

With a deafening roar, and before anyone knew what had happened... the Frost Giant Tiger that had pounced on the Nebula Spirit Cat was sent flying backward at several times the speed of its attack, the immense force shattering the ice surface of the arena...
