45-Degree Angle Looking Up at the Sky
On the eight arenas formed by array formations, the competitions began one after another.
One of the junior disciples from the Empty Spirit Sect successfully defended his position, having defeated three people in the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Similarly, on the other side, in a vast arena in an open space, Chen Jia, still dressed in men's clothing but whose exquisite features could not be concealed, became the one who took down a child with a single punch, extremely domineering.
Jiang Lin! Let's fight three hundred rounds!
Ye Liangchen, from the Unadorned Willow Sect and belonging to the Sun Moon Sect's group, was still shouting at Jiang Lin on the arena.
Since this was a one-on-one declaration of war, no one else could step forward to challenge, so they had to wait for the legendary Flower-Picking Thief to come forward and accept the challenge.
And seriously? There are 10 teams in total in each group, with five people per team. Excluding your own sect's team, there are a total of 45 people. Why would you go out and Manifestation of Sainthood so early in the morning?
Wouldn't it be better to wait patiently and wait for the enemy to tire themselves out?
Even though many people were watching him, wondering if he would accept the challenge, Jiang Lin had no intention of going up.
You think I'll just go up there because you tell me to?
Wouldn't I lose face like that?
I bet my own sect would win in the end. Until the very last person is left, and unless I'm absolutely certain of advancing, don't even think about Jiang Lin a single bit of my energy!
But...
[Ding... Quest triggered...]
[Detected that the host has been challenged! Outrageous! I, the villain, would rather die by the protagonist's sword than be reduced to a minor character!]
[Task Triggered: 1. Step onto the ring! Accept the challenge, utterly defeat your opponent, and defend your position from start to finish. Then, Mo Li and kiss her forehead! 2. Step onto the ring! Accept the challenge, utterly defeat your opponent, defend your position from start to finish, and then, Mo Li and kiss her eyes.]
[Choose your path, host! Embark on the path to becoming a major villain!]
[Select to start the countdown...3...]
Listening to the countdown in my mind, I glanced at the two tasks.
Jiang Lin was completely dumbfounded!
I'm fucking idiot!
Are there any differences between these two tasks?
etc?
There seems to be a difference!
The forehead and eyes are still different!
What the hell am I talking about?! Didn't you see her grandfather was still alive? Kissing someone else's granddaughter in front of the Empty Spirit Sect Leader of the Kongling Sect, isn't he just asking for death?
Even if I advance, so what? Mo Lu Guan just kill me with a single sword strike?
However, Jiang Lin had no other choice.
At the last second, Jiang Lin chose to kiss her forehead...
"Jiji Bo, go bet all this extra money on me to defend my title until the very end..."
Jiang Lin tossed a small Storage Bag to Jiji Bo, then walked forward with a sorrowful expression, looking utterly hopeless. He felt that in a few dozen chapters, he would once again meet his long-awaited end...
"Defend the title until the very end? Brother Jiang, what do you mean by that?"
"Brother Jiang, don't try to Manifestation of Sainthood now."
"Yes, Brother Jiang, don't lose your temper just because there are many younger siblings present..."
If Jiang Lin is just responding to the challenge, there's no problem. He can simply step down after winning. After all, the winner has the right to choose to continue defending the title or rest for a few rounds before going back on stage.
But Brother Jiang actually intends to defend the title alone until the end?
This isn't uncommon; people with a strong desire to show off often do this, and the results... well, they usually end up suffering pretty badly...
Besides, Brother Jiang isn't that kind of person.
Could it be!
Jiji Bo and the others looked thoughtfully at Mo Li, whose eyes held a hint of worry.
Did Brother Jiang make some kind of agreement with her when he went to the back mountain last time?
For example, "If I successfully defend my title, will you marry me?"
Upon realizing this, everyone in the Jiji Bo understood, and even became excited!
"Brother Jiang! Keep it up! I, Old Pig, have also bet your secret stash of money!"
"That's right! For your younger siblings! You can do it!"
"Brother Jiang! You're the fattest!"
Hearing the others behind him Jiji Bo, who had initially advised him not to go forward, now constantly encouraging him, Jiang Lin was a little confused. Who knew what they were imagining?
But none of that matters...
Putting aside the possibility that he might be killed by the Empty Spirit Sect Leader of the Kongling Sect or by his senior sister for trying to kiss Miss Mo Li, the fact that he was defending the arena until the end was already ridiculous!
Even if I wanted to use Resurrection Coin to restore my stamina, I couldn't use them at all!
Because the formation will remove you from the array when it determines you have suffered a fatal injury, you can't die at all, so how can you use Resurrection Coin?
Jiang Lin couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes.
This was the first time Jiang Lin had considered death...
Stepping onto the ring, Jiang Lin sadly raised his head 45-Degree Angle Looking Up at the Sky, his face filled with sorrow...
Similarly, the moment Jiang Lin stepped onto the stage, Mo Li's small hands involuntarily clenched her skirt, her eyes filled with both worry and anticipation.
I look forward to seeing him wield the sword, but I'm also worried he might get hurt...
Meanwhile, Bai Jiu Yi, who possessed the Mind Reading and saw through his arrogant attempt to defend the title until the end, and even his desire to kiss Mo Li, couldn't help but purse her lips!
Although Bai Jiu Yi didn't know the connection between his defending the title until the end and kissing Mo Li's forehead, perhaps it was because he had made some kind of promise with Mo Li that night in the back mountain!
But seeing Jiang Lin working so hard for other women made her feel very uncomfortable!
Why would you risk your life for another woman? Just to kiss Mo Li?
Then why can't you break the seal on your master's memories for my sake...?
Before Bai Jiu Yi could finish her thought, her cheeks flushed and she stopped thinking about it.
Head bowed, lips tightly bitten.
Perhaps the woman's heart had never been so complicated.
If I hadn't been in a different group than this Flower-Picking Thief, I would have definitely tied him up and beaten him!
"Go Senior Brother Ye!"
"Young Master Jiang! I summon you!"
Even before the two started fighting, cheers and shouts of encouragement rang out from the sidelines.
"Jiang Lin! You are my lifelong rival!"
Looking at the man in front of him, Ye Liangchen spoke in a profound tone.
Turning his gaze from the air to Ye Liangchen, Jiang Lin said with a heavy heart, "Make your move..."
"Arrogant!"
After saying that, two fireballs enveloped Ye Liangchen's fists, and he slowly floated into the air, with two flaming alpacas appearing beneath his feet!
"Alpaca Army Formation!"
Ye Liangchen shouted! His two fiery fists collided with each other.
"Duang~~~~"
A dull thud echoed through the air!
Behind Ye Liangchen, it was like a thousand alpacas lined up, their hooves grinding incessantly!
"Jiang Lin! I'm here!"
An endless heatwave swept out, and just as Ye Liangchen was about to lead thousands of alpacas into action, Jiang Lin Heart-Lake Transmission...
"Brother Ye! Is that your junior sister? How come she's in another man's arms?"
"What!"
Ye Liangchen was startled and looked behind him.
In that brief moment of turning around, a chilling Chilling Qi swept across the land!
"Oh no! It's a trap!"
By the time Ye Liangchen reacted, Jiang Lin had already leaped up, wielding the First Snow sword, and brought it down on Ye Liangchen's head with both hands.
Demacia!
