Stubborn and Guilty Group Leader, Finalists Revealed

"Huh? Well... okay."

Sure enough, even Kindness as kind as Vignette has her weaknesses.

Even though she was worried about Zhang Chulan's safety, after hearing the exaggerated consequences Gu Ruoli had deliberately exaggerated, she could only control herself and stop worrying about it.

After all, she didn't want to cause a good person to go down the wrong path because of her own actions.

Hehehe...

Upon hearing that Vignette had finally given up on the matter, Gu Ruoli chuckled and exchanged a knowing glance with Wu Tong. Both of them smiled knowingly, as if they had planned everything perfectly.

Xiao Yan and Zhang Chulan's other close friends didn't pay attention to their conversation; they were simply engrossed in using a high-definition Camera to record the miserable state of Zhang Chulan being beaten below.

"Hehe, hurry up... hurry up and take a picture, now Chu Lan has another piece of dirt on him."

With these things in hand, we can easily control this kid from now on.

"Don't rush me, I'm filming..."

"Wow, this one's pretty good! Putting it at the door will definitely ward off evil spirits."

"Let me see, it's true. Give me a copy, I'll put it at the door as a door god later."

"Hehe, Xiao Yan, send me a copy later too. The one you took is really good."

"No problem, Shi, I'll send it to you in a bit."

"I have a few here too, let's share them together when we get back."

"Of course, of course. Good things should be shared, right?"

"Hahahaha..."

After the storm had passed, the group ended the topic amidst laughter and banter.

Then, led by Wu Tong, they found a secluded hilltop and began their daily gathering for a meal.

(Because the food at the Mount Longhu canteen was really bad, after eating there once, no one wanted to eat there again.)

So every day at mealtimes, everyone would unanimously seek out Wu Tong for a free meal.

Over time, it gradually evolved into a daily gathering activity for the group members.

The battle between Wu Tong and Zhang Chulan ended too quickly.

Therefore, according to the original schedule, the second match is still a few hours away.

Everyone had plenty of time, so they didn't rush to finish their meal.

Instead, they ate and chatted together.

"Group Leader, are you nervous right now? You know, your opponent in a little while is A-Huan, she's an Emissary of Elation!"

March 7th approached Gu Ruoli, blinked her big pink-blue gradient eyes, and asked with a curious expression.

"It's alright. Although she is the Emissary of Elation, don't all of us who participate in the competition have output threshold limits?"

In this way, everyone is on the same level, and it's not certain who will win or lose.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ruoli did not show any fear, but instead calmly analyzed the situation.

However, when she said this, her voice unconsciously lowered, clearly indicating a lack of confidence.

This is normal, though. After all, while there are thresholds for output limits in competitions, competitions are actually quite similar to exams.

Some people get 100 points because that's all they can get, while others get 100 points because the test only has 100 points.

Gu Ruoli and Aha are in the same situation.

Clearly, Gu Ruoli belongs to the former category, while Aha belongs to the latter, as the difference between the two is obvious.

So, even though Gu Ruoli said that the outcome was uncertain, she was actually quite unsure of herself.

However, Gu Ruoli obviously didn't notice that when she said the outcome was uncertain, Bai Shuran secretly glanced at her with a look that seemed to be one of concern for someone with intellectual disabilities.

Gu Ruoli didn't know, but Bai Shuran did. That so-called A-Huan wasn't some lousy Emissary of Elation at all, but a genuine the Aeon of Elation who had smuggled himself in with the Train Crew.

Just how powerful is the Aeon?

Gu Ruoli must know this if she has seen the plot of Star Rail Train.

That's why Gu Ruoli said, "There's a chance of winning."

That's why it seemed so ridiculous in Bai Shuran's eyes.

Time flew by, and soon after everyone had finished eating, the second match of the morning semifinals began.

Gu Ruoli VS A-Huan (Aha).

The result of this match was, of course, exactly as everyone expected.

Even after Gu Ruoli used the strongest power she could currently wield— the He Xi Power Imprint Card —she was still no match for A-Huan.

The battle between the two, no...

To everyone else, the fight between the two couldn't even be called a fight; it was just a game orchestrated by A-Huan to toy with and manipulate Gu Ruoli.

After several dozen rounds of "fighting" with A-Huan, Gu Ruoli realized this and wisely chose to admit defeat.

Ultimately, the two semi-final matches determined the final two finalists.

That is: Zhang Chulan and A-Huan (Aha).

However, because this match also ended very early, and there was still a long time before the afternoon's matches, apart from some spectators who were still chasing Zhang Chulan, there was no one else there.

The others gradually left the Arena, intending to come back to watch the competition in the afternoon.

After the match ended, Wu Tong was walking back with Feng Shayan, preparing for another exhilarating battle.

On his way back, he suddenly ran into two people who were looking for him.

"Um... Brother Xiao, and this Master, do you need something from me?"

Looking at the two people blocking his way, Wu Tong asked with some confusion.

He knew the guy wearing glasses; in fact, they were quite close.

He is the talent that Wu Tong has gathered in this world this time— Xiao Zizai.

The other one... looks familiar, but I can't quite place him. He must be a character from the story.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Wu Tong was puzzled. What did these two people want from him?

"Hehe, Wu Tong, we've come here today because we need your help."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zizai smiled and spoke.

Then, he introduced the monk beside him to Wu Tong:

"Oh, right, let me introduce you. Wu Tong, this is my senior brother, Bao Wen..."

"Who is your senior brother? If it weren't for Master's repeated instructions before I left not to fight you, I would really want to kill you right now."

You heartless, despicable beast!!!

Before Xiao Zizai could finish speaking, Bao Wen interrupted him angrily, showing Xiao Zizai no mercy whatsoever.

It was as if the person standing next to him was not his junior brother, but an irreconcilable enemy.
