There was nothing wrong with the cards, of course.
The Ranking System had already fired everyone up.
Even Tang Sanzang was no longer free of all desires as he had been in the original course of events. When the right opportunity came, he had to show what he could do as their guide.
In the end.
The Beast Lord fled the stage screaming.
Everyone could feel the torment the Beast Lord endured as he retreated.
Clearly.
Two scrolls of scripture, combined with rapid chanting, had directly boosted Tang Sanzang's strength. He had almost cut the Beast Lord down.
Unfortunately, the Beast Lord still had some strength to his name. In the end, he broke free of the scriptures' restraints and escaped with his life.
"This outcome isn't good for Monkey Brother."
"Tang Sanzang's ranking will be top-tier at the very least now."
"The Beast Lord being injured is bad for Monkey Brother. If he holes up there and refuses to come out, won't that mean there's no way to finish him off?"
"Monkey Brother might not even get any points."
Zhu Bajie gave a guileless chuckle.
He had originally thought either he or Sha Wujin would rank dead last. Now it looked as though Monkey Brother would join them down at the bottom. That was good news.
Once the Beast Lord had rested and recovered, their chance would come.
Golden flames burned in Sun Wukong's eyes.
The Ranking System had come from him.
If he could not take first place even the first time around, he would consider himself far too weak.
Especially after learning that his master had created this system, Sun Wukong felt that every performance of his ought to be a charge toward the "awesome" tier.
Only then could he show his master his sincerity.
