Li Mo rarely left his room for three days. At this time, he had already ranked among the top five in the Imperial Martial Arts Tournament, which also gave him hope of winning first place. He kept reflecting on the battle with Shui Qingqing. Although his level strength had a certain advantage, he had four monster inheritance skills, which could completely make up for the lack of level.
But Shui Qingwu also has the inherited skills of monsters, and they are very powerful. If it weren't for his own strength that couldn't unleash the full power of that skill, and the fact that he had the king-level defensive equipment sent by Han Tianyu, then it would be really hard to say whether he would win or lose.
This shows that he can no longer rely on the inherited skills of monsters in the future. Otherwise, once he encounters an opponent stronger than Shui Qingqing in the next game, he will only end up with a miserable defeat!
"The power of thunder and lightning!"
Li Mo looked at the faint electric arc in his hand and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
"You are my last resort to save my life. I really don't want you to be exposed so early unless it is absolutely necessary. But for the sake of our guild and the generous reward for first place, I can only use you in advance!"
…
The early morning sun shone on Li Mo's face, making it feel uncomfortably warm. Today is the competition day of the third stage of the tournament. Li Mo simply freshened up and left his room.
"Hey! Xiaomo is awake, come and see the breakfast we specially prepared for you. This is the big guy's idea. I hope you can defeat your opponent in today's game!"
Lu Rover stood in the hall and said to Li Mo, while Ye Fan and the others were carrying fragrant meals out of the kitchen.
"This... Instructor Lu Rover, I am also a member of our Luoye Town Guild. It is my honor to contribute to our Guild. I am really embarrassed that you are treating me like this!"
Li Mo looked at everyone who was busy and said a little regretfully.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. This is spontaneous. No one is forcing them to do this. This is the support they give you as your companion, so don't refuse. Come over quickly and try everyone's craftsmanship. Can we still return it? I have to go to the competition. If I’m late, I’ll treat it as a forfeit!”
Han Tianyu didn't know when he appeared behind Li Mo. Obviously he understood the meaning of Li Mo's words, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.
…
This breakfast may be the most sumptuous breakfast Li Mo has ever eaten, with more than a dozen items. Although the taste was slightly inferior, it was everyone's wish anyway. Li Mo still ate a lot before following Han Tianyu out of the residence.
"Xiao Mo, are you sure about today's game?"
"Well! No matter what, I must win today's game!"
Li Mo's eyes flashed with determination and he answered softly.
"Okay! It's good to have confidence. But once you encounter danger, you must not go all out like last time. You are much more important to me than the top spot in this martial arts tournament!"
"President, don't worry! I value my own life more than anyone else now. If I lose, I will quit the competition immediately! Otherwise, how can I talk about resurrecting my wife!"
…
Han Tianyu and Li Mo were chatting and walking, and soon they arrived in front of the palace's arena.
There are only five people left in the competition now, plus one president and mentor from each guild, so the huge square seems unusually deserted.
"Okay! Everyone, be quiet. All the staff have arrived. Now I will announce the rules of the game for the remaining five of you!"
The law enforcement referee stood in front of the arena door and said leisurely. From time to time, he glanced at the five participating students present.
"The current Imperial Martial Arts Tournament has come to an end. If the remaining five people still draw lots for the competition, one of them will have a bye. In this way, some of you will definitely have complaints. For the sake of fairness, the palace will send a team Participate in this competition with people of similar strength and age to you.”
Wow…
As soon as the referee finished speaking, there was an uproar and everyone started talking.
"What's going on? The palace actually sent someone to participate in the competition?"
"This... is this for the sake of fairness?"
"This is not a joke. How can the students trained by our guild be compared with those trained in the palace? This... this is not fair!"
"unfair… "
"What on earth is going on in this martial arts tournament? Not to mention changing the rules again and again, but in the end they have to send people like us guild students to compete for the top spot?"
…
"Why are you all making such a fuss! This is the order of the current king. If you make any more noise, all your rankings will be cancelled!"
A sharp voice came out in the arena, and Qiankun walked out with a large group of guards.
"Qiankun? Qianpeng has been detained, why is he okay?"
Han Tianyu was stunned when he saw that the person coming was Qiankun.
Li Mo also frowned, staring closely at Qian Kun who had walked in front of them. Just as his eyes met, Li Mo saw a hint of evil flash in his eyes, but it was fleeting.
"Bold Qiankun, who gave you the power to do this?"
Others were afraid of Qiankun's power and did not dare to question him, but Wang Zixuan did not have the slightest fear.
"Hey! Isn't this His Highness the Prince? I really didn't recognize you in your outfit. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense here! Tell me, who gave you the power?"
"Your Highness, this is what His Majesty the King ordered me to do. If you have any questions, you'd better go to the palace and ask His Majesty. Don't make things difficult for me anymore. I'm just following orders."
"Hmph! I'm sorry you don't have the guts. I will ask my uncle about this matter. If not, you know what the consequences will be! But before this matter is clarified, your people are not allowed to join the competition. !”
"Hehe... Your Highness, I obey your orders!"
…
Due to Wang Zixuan's intervention, no one sent by the palace participated in the competition. The rules remain the same, the five people draw lots to decide their opponents. Li Mo was lucky enough to get a bye draw and advance directly to the next round without having to compete.
"Xiaomo, since there is no competition for us, I think we should go back!"
Han Tianyu whispered in Li Mo's ear. Ever since Qiankun appeared, he had felt a little uneasy in his heart. It seemed that Qiankun appeared at this time to deal with their Luoye Town Guild. However, his worries were not unfounded. What happened to Qian Peng was caused by them.
"President, where did Senior Lan go?"
On the way back, Li Mo suddenly mentioned Lan Jingyuan. Since he has the ability to change the rules of the competition, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with Qiankun. Li Mo also realized something was wrong with the appearance of Qiankun, especially the sinister look in his eyes. This is clearly aimed at their Luoye Town, and now the only one who can help them overcome the difficulties is Lan Jingyuan!
"I don't know. This old guy has always been free. He comes and goes without a trace. No one can know his whereabouts!"
Han Tianyu naturally understood what Li Mo meant, but he really didn't know where Lan Jingyuan was now.
"Hey! The next round of competition will be held in three days. If Senior Lan doesn't come back yet, I'm afraid we will be in trouble!
