A Grand Spectacle
The broadcast was brief, yet powerful enough.
The broadcast ended with a crackling sound of electricity.
The entire Weidao High School fell into complete silence.
But soon, deafening noise erupted from every classroom.
Screams, roars, and even smashing of tables, walls, and windows—a cacophony of noises filled the air.
It's as if they can't express their excitement without making a big fuss.
Even the die-hards who frequented various classes had no choice but to join in this frenzied performance, lest they appear out of place.
Unlike the hustle and bustle of the rest of the campus, the atmosphere in the broadcasting studio grew increasingly oppressive.
Simba, the blond man, sat in the center.
He is now the pinnacle of Ojima, his pupils reflecting a lion-like brilliance.
In the broadcasting room, all the leaders of the various factions of Weidao High School were gathered together, and everyone's eyes were focused on Simba.
As for A She, who was kneeling at Simba's feet, he was tacitly ignored by his commanders.
"A She, I'm glad you can uphold the reputation of Weidao, but I don't like it when you took it upon yourself to accept the challenge from Chikan Bay on behalf of Chikan Bay."
Simba brushed a stray strand of hair from his forehead and said in a cryptic tone, "Don't do that again."
These words clearly meant that the matter was over, and A She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded vigorously.
"I understand, Brother Simba!"
It's worth mentioning that the time Lu Bai and A She agreed on was actually the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.
Simba's announcement to the entire school on Ojima Island was given a day in advance.
Strictly speaking, this has no strategic significance; it's purely for the purpose of demonstrating one's authority.
The point is to let everyone know that on Tail Island, only Simba's words count.
Chikan Bay, Peace Lane.
When Dao Zhengmu and Xiao Fengze returned with their men, the sky was already beginning to lighten.
Lu Bai sat on a chair in the square, surrounded by numerous members of the All Villains.
"It's been almost five hours, hasn't it?"
He smiled and said to Dao Zhengmu and Xiao Fengze, but there was no sign of dissatisfaction in his tone.
Even so, Dao Zhengmu still gave face and pretended to be terrified, saying cautiously, "Yes, I didn't expect that guy Hei Jinbao would leave so many people in his lair. This time, I was careless and am willing to accept the punishment."
Dao Zhengmu's immediate admission of wrongdoing put Xiao Fengze in an awkward position.
Ultimately, it was he who proposed the two-hour time limit from the beginning.
Having actually spent so much time on this, if he didn't say anything, even those who were originally with the Iron Fist Club would think he was being a bit uncouth.
Xiao Fengze couldn't stay silent any longer, and somewhat reluctantly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect. "I did underestimate the resilience of the Jin Family Gang. I didn't expect them to be able to spread out and wage guerrilla warfare."
Lu Bai's kind expression remained unchanged as he gently said, "It's alright, just be more careful in your work from now on."
Dao Zhengmu immediately nodded in agreement, appearing to follow Lu Bai's lead without question.
This left Xiao Fengze speechless, so he could only agree.
It's important to know that ever since he brought the Iron Fist Club to join All Villains, he and Lu Bai have always discussed everything they do.
This approach directly and subtly establishes the subordinate status of the two individuals in front of so many people.
Dao Zhengmu silently took half a step back, and winked at Lu Bai from where Xiao Fengze couldn't see him.
Such an experienced person, if genuinely willing to help, can indeed save a lot of trouble.
Lu Bai, naturally, would return the favor. He stood up from the public bench, clapped his hands, and said, "Next, let's go and see what Hei Jinbao's methods are like."
Having taken over the entire Peace Lane territory, the number of All Villains has surged once again. If they wanted to conscript men, it wouldn't be difficult to gather 10,000.
However, there's no need to drag everyone along.
Leave half the men behind and let White Shark disperse them to various parts of Peace Lane to consolidate their territory.
The rest of the people followed Lu Bai and marched in a grand procession to the Bell Tower Dam in the center of Chikan Bay.
There was no selection process for participants; basically, anyone who wanted to go was taken along.
No matter how carefully you select, it's impossible to pick a martial artist from a rabble. Dao Zhengmu, Xiao Fengze, and Dao Long to keep things in order is sufficient.
The force of several thousand people looked impressive, but frankly speaking, such a rapidly assembled force could only fight when things were going well; it couldn't even manage a stalemate.
When the wind blows against them, they run faster than anyone else.
Everyone knows about this, but no one brings it up on their own initiative.
Lu Bai the way at the very front of this massive group, with Xiao Xueyin, Dao Zhengmu, and other "cadres" following beside him, only half a step behind.
He looked up at the sky, squinted, and chuckled, remarking, "Looks like today will be another sunny day."
Xiao Xueyin believed he understood Lu Bai's personality fairly well, knowing he wasn't a capricious person, and teased him casually.
"What's wrong? You seem disappointed?"
"Think about it, in some movies and TV series, when a major battle is about to happen, the scene is usually very depressing, with dark clouds looming overhead, and sometimes even torrential rain."
Lu Bai didn't slow his pace, casually pointing to the sky. "But look, where is the atmosphere of dark clouds pressing down on the city and threatening to destroy it?"
Having experienced two previous Deathmatch Showdown, Xiao Xueyin had become somewhat accustomed to Lu Bai's occasionally unreliable nature.
He looked towards Zhonglouba and said, "Dealing with Hei Jinbao probably doesn't count as a major battle."
"That's not true. Hei Jinbao is not to be underestimated."
Dao Zhengmu turned to look at Xiao Fengze, who was walking beside him. "This young friend Xiao should know something, right?"
Xiao Fengze wasn't really in the mood to speak, but Dao Zhengmu was, after all, a Grandmaster, and he couldn't refuse him this much face.
He was silent for a moment, then said dryly, "Well, Hei Jinbao has a fierce appearance, with a hooked nose and a toad mouth. He's extremely ruthless and vicious, yet incredibly strong, and he lacks the dignity of a martial artist. He's definitely not someone an ordinary Grandmaster can handle..."
The fighting in the Zhonglouba area showed no signs of stopping even after a whole night.
As you get closer, you can hear loud noises every now and then.
Just then, Dao Long, who had been leading a group of thugs to scout ahead of the main force, suddenly returned alone.
"Master..."
Dao Long first looked at Dao Zhengmu, then realized he was now one of the All Villains, and quickly changed his tune. "Everyone, the situation has changed a bit; other forces have joined the fray."
