All Four of You, Come at Me Together!
Wang Daoquan said that talking to Xinghe was really pleasant.
Many times, as soon as I start saying something, Xinghe immediately understands all the meaning behind it...
He was on a completely different level from his own pig-headed disciples.
That's why Xinghe is considered the number one among the younger generation; it's not just about his skills, but also his emotional intelligence, which is off the charts.
Wang Daoquan knew that Jade Void Palace was destined to lose this battle against the Vast Heaven Sect.
What the heck?
You say Jade Void Palace is shameful?
Who said that? Why don't you step forward and challenge the Vast Heaven Sect to a one-on-one duel?
My Wang Daoquan weren't even wet, so why are you saying I'm shameful?
Since the outcome cannot be changed, can the process be slightly altered?
Look at the results of the Vast Heaven Sect's first two matches. They defeated five opponents in one fell swoop without warning. Feng Fei's elegant spirit cat is famous, and Ouyang Ming's violent Warhammer Spirit Cat even dismantled the arena.
I heard that the Frost Giant Tiger is still terrified of cats or hammers.
If we keep letting those two monsters play, won't my Jade Void Palace get beaten to a pulp on the spot?
My Jade Void Palace is ranked ninth in the world, unlike some sects that are ranked tenth but whose names cannot be revealed.
Even if we lose, we should lose in a way that looks good, right?
Everyone knows that losing to the Vast Heaven Sect is a foregone conclusion, but as long as the process is a bit more complicated, the fight is more exciting, and we can show the style and strength of the Jade Void Palace, that will be enough.
Wang Daoquan was initially worried that Xinghe, being so young, might not understand these social niceties.
As it turns out, Wang Daoquan was completely overthinking things... Xinghe, that kid, he understood exactly what we meant as soon as we said it. If a kid like that were in my Jade Void Palace...
Never mind... I can't say these things carelessly, otherwise the Grand Elder might hear me and target me.
Wang Daoquan left satisfied.
Chu Xinghe also found Mu Bai immediately after Wang Daoquan left.
"Mu Bai... are you confident about facing Jade Void Palace tomorrow?"
"Senior Brother Xinghe, please don't tease me. How could I possibly have any confidence... Why don't you let Senior Brother Ouyang or Junior Brother Yuzheng go instead?"
Seeing Mu Bai's extremely nervous appearance, Chu Xinghe nodded slightly and then said, "Mu Bai, don't feel any pressure. In this Spirit Beast Grand Prix, our Vast Heaven Sect's ranking will not be included in the final results. What are you worried about?"
"On the other hand, even Zheng Yu can't win every game in a row; he gets defeated sometimes. So it's normal for you to get defeated too, right?"
Seeing Mu Bai nod, Chu Xinghe didn't mince words and said directly, "Wang Daoquan came just now. Mu Bai, you know that our Vast Heaven Sect and Jade Void Palace have a fairly good relationship. Since Wang Daoquan came in person, shouldn't we give him some face?"
"Does Senior Brother Xinghe mean... that I should act... cough cough... that I should go easy on him?"
Seeing how understanding Mu Bai was, Chu Xinghe's tears welled up.
It has to be Mu Bai... Last time when he competed against Martial Emperor City, Mu Bai acted exceptionally well. If it weren't for Mo Kai's self-destruction at the end, Mu Bai would have lost without any problem.
Therefore, Chu Xinghe absolutely believed in Mu Bai's acting skills.
Moreover, Mu Bai is exceptionally obedient; whatever Senior Brother Xinghe arranges, Mu Bai will absolutely carry it out 100%.
If he said he would show mercy, then Mu Bai would definitely show mercy.
Of course, Chu Xinghe couldn't help but give a word of advice: it's okay to show mercy, but don't go too far.
After all, your Mu Bai Nebula Spirit Cat is only good at farming... I told you to go easy on her just in case something unexpected happened, not that I wanted you to give up right from the start...
Otherwise, it would look too fake, wouldn't it?
After arranging for Mu Bai to rest early, Chu Xinghe also hummed a little tune about wishing someone good fortune and went back to his room to rest.
Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, the competition to narrow down the fifty to twenty-five teams took place as scheduled.
The arenas in Spirit Beast City were packed with people, but the most attractive were naturally those of the Vast Heaven Sect.
Elder Li Fenglan rose to fame yesterday, becoming the first person to break the curse on the Vast Heaven Sect's lottery box...
He was also the first person to upgrade a curse...
Elder Li didn't draw the Martial Emperor City, but he did draw the Vast Heaven Sect... Now all the Grand Elders are trembling with fear.
Disciples from all teams cried out, "Elder, please don't be chosen! If you go on stage, we're doomed..."
Although Wang Daoquan knew he was bound to lose today, after a long talk with Xinghe last night, Wang Daoquan believed that with Xinghe's abilities, he could definitely make them lose in a way that satisfied them greatly.
Therefore, Wang Daoquan also came to the scene today to cheer on his disciple.
Soon, the lineups for both sides were announced.
When Wang Daoquan saw Mu Bai as the starting lineup, he was extremely satisfied. Although Mu Bai hadn't played a single game yet, just think about it, no matter how monstrous Mu Bai was, he was still slightly better than the previous two monstrous players, right?
So Xinghe is perfectly fine!
Wang Daoquan gave Xinghe a thumbs-up with his eyes. As if sensing the praise from Wang Daoquan, Chu Xinghe returned the look with his eyes, indicating that Palace Master Wang Daoquan could rest assured that everything had been arranged perfectly for him.
Both sides made their preparations and then took their places on the stage. On the Vast Heaven Sect's side, Mu Bai, looking unsure of himself, awkwardly and hesitantly stepped onto the arena.
Chu Xinghe did not recognize the person on the other end.
Because it's not important... Everyone else studies their opponents before the competition, but Chu Xinghe said that he didn't study who his opponents were at all during the entire Grand Prix... He didn't even figure out who his teammates were.
However, regardless of who the other party was, Chu Xinghe remained completely calm. First of all, his Mu Bai's Nebula Spirit Cat only knew how to farm, right...?
Besides, I already told Mu Bai to show mercy, right?
With a two-pronged approach and double insurance, how can I possibly lose?
Just as Chu Xinghe was congratulating himself on the double insurance policy, which was sure to be foolproof, the player from the Jade Void Palace team also summoned his spirit beast.
The appearance of the spirit beast caused a stir among those around!
"Ginseng Doll... This is a rare and precious spirit beast Ginseng Doll!"
"The Ginseng Doll is known as the pinnacle of wood-type spirit beasts. I never imagined the spirit beasts of the Jade Void Palace were this powerful!"
"You underestimate Jade Void Palace too much. Jade Void Palace is ranked ninth in the world, okay? Let me tell you, all the spirit beasts of the entire Jade Void Palace team are these rare spirit Ginseng Dolls!"
Those around him gasped as they listened to the murmurs, and Chu Xinghe took two deep breaths...
Ginseng Dolls are extremely rare, and for the Jade Void Palace to have assembled a team with all its members equipped with Ginseng Dolls is simply terrifying!
Just as everyone was marveling at how unfathomable the Jade Void Palace was, the Jade Void Palace disciples on the platform bowed to Mu Bai, and the battle began.
The Ginseng Doll shimmered with yellow light, and then countless vines sprouted from the ground of the arena, all of them wrapping around Mu Bai's Nebula Spirit Cat.
But the moment it saw these vines, the Mu Bai Nebula Spirit Cat seemed to be dumbfounded...
Mu Bai himself seemed stunned.
But just as everyone was watching the vines about to reach Nebula Spirit Cat wrap it up like a dumpling, the Mu Bai Nebula Spirit Cat moved.
Without any fancy moves, Nebula Spirit Cat simply tapped the arena lightly with one paw.
With a crack, a huge fissure appeared on the arena. The next second, before everyone's eyes, all the Ginseng Doll's vines turned into mud, and the Ginseng Doll that was originally standing on the arena was sucked in by the sudden fissure.
Right before everyone's eyes, the Ginseng Doll was sucked into the cracked earth, and then the ground snapped shut again...
The Ginseng Doll that was standing on the arena has disappeared... leaving only the small red fruit on its head swaying in the center of the arena...
On site. "???"
Wang Daoquan: "???"
The battle was over... many people didn't even see what happened... and it was over...
Mu Bai's Nebula Spirit Cat looked bored and even lay down on the arena, choosing a comfortable spot... to sleep?
In that instant, the entire arena fell silent; everyone was utterly bewildered...
What the hell happened?
Wang Daoquan was also dumbfounded... But when Wang Daoquan looked at Chu Xinghe, Wang Daoquan found that Xinghe seemed even more confused than he was...
Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded... Whether others understood what had happened was unknown, but Chu Xinghe knew exactly what had happened...
This wasn't because Mu Bai; it was because the opposing team was feeding!
Have you Jade Void Palace gone mad?
Are you all out of your minds?
You guys are playing the wood-based game with the Muyue Kingdom?
And what's with these five Ginseng Dolls?
What the hell are you guys doing...?
Chu Xinghe was almost in tears... I, Chu Xinghe, even bought double insurance for your Jade Void Palace, but you insisted on giving it away. Even if I had full insurance coverage, it wouldn't be of any use...
Wang Daoquan was completely bewildered... What happened to the promise of showing mercy?
You wiped us out in an instant without a word... Is this what you Vast Heaven Sect call showing mercy?
Wang Daoquan could no longer control himself and ran directly to Chu Xinghe's side in full view of everyone.
Then, lowering his voice, he said, "Xinghe... you call this showing mercy? Isn't that a bit too outrageous?"
Seeing Wang Daoquan bewildered expression, Chu Xinghe was almost in tears.
Well... Palace Master... this time it really wasn't my fault, Chu Xinghe's fault, it was your Jade Void Palace's fault...
Just as Chu Xinghe and Wang Daoquan were exchanging words in silence, Mu Bai also walked up from the side.
"Mu Bai greets Palace Master Wang. I truly have shown mercy this time..."
Wang Daoquan looked speechlessly at Mu Bai, who claimed to have shown mercy. "Mu Bai... you call this showing mercy? Then show me how you didn't show mercy, okay?"
Upon hearing Wang Daoquan's words, the straightforward Mu Bai pondered for a moment before demonstrating to Wang Daoquan what it would be like to not show mercy.
Mu Bai stood up and pointed at the remaining four people from the Jade Void Palace opposite him. "All four of you, come at me together!"
