Chapter 541 Art (Part 1)
“What do you mean?”
Looking at the other party’s full face, Su Jiu’s eyes narrowed slightly. It was a face like an office worker, but she could feel a powerful sword intent emanating from the other party, and even her own sword intent couldn’t help but surge out.
The other party absolutely couldn’t be a student or a professor!
“What do I mean? Heh heh, doesn’t the unique [Night Taste] on your body explain everything?”
Leaning on the chain, the bald youth retorted fluently in Dragon Country language. He smiled with a hint of laziness, then slightly pulled open his collar, revealing the white-headed sea eagle on his chest. The sea eagle faintly bore the national emblem of Eagle Country.
Slowly retracting his gaze, Su Jiu slowly took out the loquat branch and asked indifferently, “You are… a senior executive of AIC. Could it be that Eagle Country’s influence is reaching Snow Demon Kingdom recently?”
Having Yaers and Yela’s matters behind her, Su Jiu had no good feelings for the AIC organization. Although it was considered a white organization internationally, in her opinion, it was no different from the Raven.
“Heh heh, are Night Watchers allowed to come over? Is this Snow Country or Dragon Country?”
The bald youth rolled his eyes, then took another gulp of vodka, his gaze falling on Su Jiu’s eyes that were shining with white flowers. He smiled faintly again, “Even if your sword intent can be compared to mine, or even surpass it, your level is far inferior to mine. Just watch from the side.”
“Don’t AIC people understand what they’re doing? A bunch of flies that only come out when there’s a profit.”
Su Jiu squinted at him as he slowly got up. The loquat branch in her hand was already more than half charged. If the other party made a move, a counterattack would be instantaneous.
“Levitt specifically invited me. If it weren’t for [Dragon Thief] supporting us orphans, I really wouldn’t bother with this mess.”
The bald youth waved his hand behind Su Jiu, his face full of impatience, then with a flash of white light, he summoned two monsters that looked like golden rocks, and they transformed into a pair of golden fists that enveloped his hands.
The aura instantly turned from a lazy bald man.
“Dragon Thief? What do you mean?” Su Jiu asked softly, not understanding what the other party was talking about.
The bald youth shook his head, waved his cape, and smashed his fists together, answering Su Jiu’s question with a smile, “Dragon Thief is a thief who, as royalty of the Western Dragon Clan, dared to steal the essence blood of the Eastern Dragon Lord.”
After speaking, he disappeared from his spot, leaving Su Jiu alone.
Seeing the other party’s attitude of not intending to tell her the reason, Su Jiu could only plan to ask Anna after the competition to see if she knew.
“If you leave the stage, you will be considered defeated. This is a one-way arena formation, and don’t think about sneaking out and then coming back in. The competition rules are no rules. Everyone should have carefully read the rules when they registered, right?”
As the Snow Empress’s voice sounded, a light red energy shield formed around the arena to prevent attacks from scattering.
At this time, the atmosphere on the scene had become unbearably tense, but upon hearing the rules stated by the Snow Empress, everyone couldn’t help but listen.
On the seats, the Snow Empress seemed to deliberately look at the leading elders of the foreign races. The lenses of her glasses reflected some light, and she grinned slightly, saying:
“There is a death protocol above. As it is a special alchemical seal, it can clearly show who the master is when needed.”
Upon hearing this, there was an uproar both on and off the stage. The faces of young masters like Amos, who were participating for the experience, turned pale. They wanted to leave now, but they were too proud to do so.
Su Jiu cursed the old schemer in her mind and silently put away the branch. She looked inside her ring at the nearly thirty [Dream Flower Bombs] and licked her dry lips.
So you’re acting like an old schemer, huh? It’s my turn next.
…
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a golden lightning-like figure flashed past the legs of some particularly tall monsters, followed by a dull punching sound that suddenly rang out, like a bullet being fired. The already tense crowd instantly exploded.
“Dare to make the first move?!”
The monster that was attacked was a huge elephant-like monster. In its shock and anger, its internal and external qi surged out, and then it tightly clenched the large hammer in its hand and smashed it fiercely at the monster behind it.
As the two exchanged blows, the atmosphere on the stage, which was comparable to a water balloon, instantly exploded. Streams of powerful external qi of various colors surged out, and then the entire stage was plunged into chaos.
“This battle is probably won by those tough-skinned races.”
“The strong can only face it alone. The slightly weaker ones have already started forming teams of three.”
“Old Elephant, your guy seems to be ganged up on by several people!”
The elders of the various races all showed a hint of nervousness. They kept wiping their old eyes, trying to find where their people were. Some also went to ask the Snow Empress for an explanation, but they were all rejected from the seats.
The auras of more than sixty individuals above the Battle King level almost completely spread to every corner of the large square. The powerful energy pressure permeated the square, giving many people a feeling of oppression.
Dust and smoke filled the stage, and chaos continued to spread. At this moment, besides those who formed teams, almost everyone around them was an opponent, an enemy.
As long as someone was close to them, they were all treated as enemies, otherwise, they would be attacked by the other party.
As for the situation of three people attacking one person, although most of them targeted the strong, weaker individuals who were alone would also be finished off. In an instant, chaos erupted, and casualties began to appear.
However, in the chaos, no one noticed a cluster of butterflies flying gracefully, leaving sparkling objects like treasures as they flew past every corner.
Blood was also visually stimulating, let alone these monsters?
Seeing the chaotic melee in the field where flesh and blood were already being ground, the crowd around the square erupted in earth-shattering cheers and shouts. Some even transformed and beat their chests in approval, wishing they were the ones in the arena.
Of course, if they were really allowed to go in, they would run faster than anyone else.
“Clang clang clang—”
“Roar—Awu—”
At this moment, the scene was completely chaotic. The crisp sound of swords clashing and the roars of monsters continued to sound. In such a chaotic situation, even though the people present were all selected strong individuals, some still spat blood and staggered out.
The chaos lasted for less than ten minutes before more than a dozen contestants were seriously injured and left the arena. Amos, who was hanging around the edges, also grudgingly followed them out.
What a joke! He was going to inherit the Frost Ghost clan!
The cluster of butterflies slowly left the ground and flew towards the sky. Su Jiu saw through the transformed perspective that the bald youth from before was actually hanging on the back of an elephant demon at the late stage of High-Rank Battle King, leisurely drinking again.
“This guy is also an old schemer. The commotion just now was caused by him, all to make those tough-skinned fools fight first, and then save their strength to last until the end.”
Looking at the other party’s leisurely appearance, Su Jiu felt no emotion, even finding it a bit amusing. She knew that in another three minutes, a performance called “art” would begin.
This was the time she deliberately set. The power of Dream Flower was only equivalent to a full-power attack of a Battle King. If it were in its prime, it wouldn’t be able to create “soul rings” by exploding. This was a bit far from her nationwide “Soul Ring Plan.”
Su Jiu shifted her gaze from the old schemer bald man and slowly scanned the arena. Finally, she narrowed her eyes again. She found something interesting: in the shadows of that place, there was a smell of corpse…
A rat from the Ancient God Sect.
On the other side, a large circle formed around Kantu’er’s position. His aura at the late stage of Demigod made no one dare to approach. Beside him were a wolf-bodied monster with a human face on the left and a tiger-headed upright monster on the right, both with strength around Demigod. They also supported the small circle.
It was clear that they had formed a wartime community.
The community formed by the three was almost the strongest group in the entire arena, and almost no one dared to provoke them.
The chaos in the field continued, but the entire arena seemed to have become a sieve, constantly eliminating participants. As the number of people on the field decreased, the fighting scene became clearer and clearer.
At this moment, there were thirteen people left on the field. Apart from the bald old schemer, the other twelve were scattered around the field, panting and warily looking at each other.
People also saw the bald old schemer sleeping soundly on the back of the elephant youth. Some were surprised, some accused, but more were laughing – this was too much!
In the VIP seats, an old elephant-like man who looked very similar to him, with his already dry gray skin, turned red with anger. He pointed at the people from Stanford University and cursed loudly.
These upright apes were really shameless!
“Ahem, students, this is called strategy! This old alumnus Alio is demonstrating strategy.”
The people from Stanford University exchanged glances. Professor Green coughed dryly, looked at the leading vice principal, and found that the latter was also speechless. He then began to use ancient allusions: “This is also called ‘defeating the enemy without fighting’ in Dragon Country!”
The students looked at the relaxed bald man with some confusion in their eyes. They thought he was just slacking off and sleeping.
And at a higher place, the Snow Empress, who was leaning on her chair, frowned and tapped her chair lightly with her finger. Where was that girl?
He had been watching all along, he hadn’t seen the girl’s figure from the beginning, but she had indeed entered…
Could the prophesied person be defeated just like that?
“Higher! Higher!”
Anna kept letting the Snow Brown Bear lift her higher and higher. After scanning the situation in the arena several times, she looked at the situation on the field with a worried expression.
“Auntie, you have external qi yourself, why don’t you go up to the sky yourself?”
The Snow Brown Bear helplessly lifted her into the air with his external qi. He knew that although Anna looked young, she already had the strength of an Intermediate Battle General.
“Look quickly! There are Magic Crystals on the ground!”
“It’s really Magic Crystals! Look at this dazzling intensity, it’s probably an Intermediate Magic Crystal. Did it drop from a weaker monster on the field after it died?”
“But why is it a little different? It seems even more dazzling…”
Someone suddenly pointed at the ground of the arena and shouted, attracting everyone’s attention.
The Snow Empress’s gaze also followed. Her gaze slightly condensed, and her pupils seemed to bulge out. She said with some shock:
“Dream Flower… Dream Flower spread everywhere? Holy crap, I don’t remember anyone arranging this?”
