After a chaotic fight, Zhu Qilan finally admitted defeat.
Lu Bei really wanted to admit defeat and take the opportunity to touch his cousin's feet, but the price was too high and he couldn't grasp it, so he simply gave up.
The barrier dissipated, and the examiners who were there to save the dying and the wounded were busy directing the instructors to carry the students away.
The arena area was filled with wailing, the light had gone out of the eyes of the participating geniuses, the students watching were silent, over 200 people were defeated miserably, it was such a tragedy.
The physical injuries were secondary. Lu Bei was very measured in his attack. They were just fatal injuries that would heal in a day or two and would not affect the students' participation in the official competition.
The key is the shadow in the heart. Before, when he was competing for the second place, he said he didn’t accept it, and he also used the excuse of the shady dealings of the Holy Land. Now, he has to accept it even if he doesn’t want to.
But when I thought about Lu Bei's mean mouth and his smug face, I took a step back and got angrier and angrier.
But I just can’t beat him. Isn’t that frustrating
Even if Lu Bei sacrificed himself a little and played the role of a powerful, gentle, kind and righteous man, they would feel better if they were convinced even if their group attack failed.
Right now...
After personally experiencing the disparity of the world, he considered himself a nobody and a traitor amidst the bitter ridicule. From then on, he was filled with grievances and resentment, and lived a hard life with the goal of defeating the great devil Lu Bei as his lifelong goal.
That's good. Only when people have goals can they have direction and motivation to strive for.
Lu Bei deeply agreed with this and retracted his previous short-sightedness. He had underestimated these geniuses. Only after he really got started did he realize that their experience was quite considerable.
Rounding it off, he gained 3 billion experience points, which was more than what he earned from fighting the Demon King's Nest. If possible, he would discuss it with Qin Ziyou later and give him another chance to fight tomorrow. He wanted to be a good guy this time.
“Hehehehe—”
On the sidelines, Zhu Xiushi won the grand prize in the guessing contest. He raised his hand to hug the arm of the hero, jumped up and down, and was so happy that he couldn't close his legs.
Zhu Qilan: “…”
Because the prize money was so huge, the two monks in charge of the odds were unable to pay it out at once, so they had to ask Zhu Xiu Shi to wait for a while and go to Tianji City to pick up the prize money at 3 p.m.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Ziyou and Lu Bei also agreed on this time.
"Senior, please let go. Men and women should not touch each other. You are holding so tightly... Look, my cousin is mad at you and left."
"Don't call me senior, it's too formal. Call me sister. If anything happens in Wu Zhou in the future, just say my name." People are in high spirits when good things happen. Zhu Xiushi got rich by gambling all in. He was very proud of himself. The only person in his eyes was Lu Bei. He didn't even remember that Zhu Qilan had an important responsibility.
It doesn’t matter if the mission fails. No matter how big a problem it is, she can handle it.
It's possible to think so, but it's impossible to put it into action. No matter how thick-skinned a person is, he will not steal the job of his younger generation.
Moreover, this bowl of rice was cooked by many people and many people had used their chopsticks to eat it. It was very salty and had a sour smell. She was afraid that she would not be able to swallow it.
"It would be more effective if I told you my own name than to tell you your own name."
Lu Bei complained, broke free from the seal, and looked around.
"What are you looking for? Where did your good cousin go?"
Zhu Xiushi approached Lu Bei cautiously, leaning forward like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey...
Didn't hit it.
Lu Bei grabbed the big sister who had gone crazy after getting rich with his backhand, and held her by her arms and slender neck. He asked in confusion, "During the competition just now, I didn't see any young men from Xiong Chu. It's strange that they didn't come to join in the fun?"
Of the four countries that Lu Bei was most familiar with, Xuanlong was in a state of disarray, Qi and Yan were busy dealing with civil unrest, and the students who came to make up the numbers from the two countries were stopped halfway, and after being judged as unqualified by the examiners, they were sent home directly.
Wu Zhou only sent Zhu Dao and Zhu Qilan to the ring. He did not see any carriages from the Gu family on the ring, not even one.
It shouldn't be like this. Even if no one goes on stage to seek trouble due to Lu's power, it is necessary to collect intelligence on the sidelines.
As a result, there was no sign of Xiong Chugu's family among the crowd.
"You just didn't meet him. Xiong Chu's mentor placed a huge bet on you and paid the bill in advance."
Zhu Xiushi calmed down and realized that he had gotten carried away and was too intimate with Lu Bei. He quickly pushed him away, stroked the hair by his ears, and said, "She wasn't there when you entered, and she had just paid the bill and left when you came out."
"Who is it? You have such good taste!"
Lu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his voice, "You can't make money from this sect master for nothing. You have to pay a price."
"Well… "
Zhu Xiushi really wanted to know what the price was, but he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, took out a list of names, and turned to the column for Xiong Chu: "Gu Xinli from Xiong Chu is a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. He was defeated by Sect Master Lu and was captured by you several times."
"Li Jun has survived the tribulation?!"
Lu Bei was surprised, and then suddenly realized: "No wonder I haven't seen Xiong Chu's accompanying mentor. It turns out to be her... What does it mean? Why is she avoiding me everywhere? This is the holy land of the human race. I dare not do anything to her."
"What about leaving the Holy Land of the Human Race?"
Zhu Xiushi whispered in Lu Bei's ear, "Tell me the truth, I promise not to spread it. You have captured Xin Lijun several times, captured her and sold her, sold her and captured her again. What is your relationship with her? Have you ever done anything to let our Zhu family down?"
A relationship between passers-by and those who are too confident.
Besides, this is just the beginning. I have let your Zhu family down more than once or twice.
Lu Bei complained in his heart, feeling that it was not easy for him either, and then shook his head: "No, this sect master and Li Jun are innocent."
"Okay, you hesitated!"
"I don't want to bother with you."
Lu Bei rolled his eyes and asked about the current time. It was still half an hour before the hour of Wei, so he started chatting with the examiner in the competition area.
Finally, he rented a ring.
From now on, until the day the conference ends, Wu Zhou Lu Bei will be stationed on the arena, and anyone who refuses to obey can call on their friends to come and fight.
"What's the point of doing this? Humiliating them?" Zhu Xiushi laughed.
"Don't talk nonsense. There is no humiliation, only intolerance."
Lu Bei's face straightened: "This sect master is afraid that they will be too angry to bear the inner demons secretly, so I specially give them a chance to avenge their previous shame. It is a kind act."
"I don't believe you."
Zhu Xiushi curled his lips, thinking that Lu Bei had such a bad taste. Fortunately, he was a cultivator from Wu Zhou. If he was a person from Xiong Chu, the Zhu family would have to suffer a lot.
"Oh, there's one more thing."
Zhu Xiushi raised his eyebrows and asked ambitiously, "What was the result of the competition? Who was stronger and who was weaker? Who do you think will win the second place in this competition?"
"Of course I'm talking about my cousin."
"Except her."
"Nothing. They are just some chickens and dogs. Nothing to be afraid of." Lu Bei sneered and shook his arms which he had nowhere to put.
Bah, shameless!
Zhu Xiushi secretly despised him and was struggling over whether to put a seal on him.
If you have money but don't make it, you're a bastard. Moreover, it's money that falls from the sky, it's a waste if you don't pick it up. But she is an elder after all, so she should eat in a more elegant manner and earn the money while standing.
The students of Wu Zhou carried Zhu Dao back to Yutaiyuan. Lu Bei stayed in the ring area to guard the ring, swinging his arms while waiting for Qin Ziyou to arrive.
Zhu Xiushi gritted his teeth and stood three steps away with a vicious look, refusing to cast the sealing spell no matter what.
…
At 3:00 p.m., Qin Ziyou arrived on time, not a minute more or less.
When he saw Lu Bei, his face looked a little ugly. The holy land monk at the market came forward to ask for gifts and told him that Zhu Xiushi had made a lot of money and took away a lot of the bookmaker's profits.
Qin Ziyou nodded, regarding Zhu Xiushi's bet as Lu Bei's instruction. He said that Zhu Xiushi did not steal or rob, but made money with his own strength, and won it honestly. He had no right to point fingers.
Besides, he also placed a bet on Lu Bei.
Qin Ziyou led Lu Bei and the other two to Tianji City. In front of the teleportation array, he couldn't help but sighed, "Sect Master Lu, you're too harsh. Appropriate suppression can inspire the fighting spirit of young people. You're suppressing them too harshly. I'm afraid they won't be able to survive this catastrophe and lose their aggressiveness."
“Being unable to recover from a setback only shows that you have a bad character. Sooner or later, you will fall in the Tribulation Period. A truly strong person will fight to the end where he falls. The result will be the same with or without me.” Lu Bei shrugged and decisively shirked the responsibility.
For example, Jiang He, who starts again where he fell, is a representative of a strong mind. He is optimistic that this man will become a genius of his generation and leave a mark in the history of the human race.
"Master Lu said so, I can't refute it, can you tell me the truth, what is your intention in renting an arena?"
Of course it's for experience, to attract hatred from them so that they will never forget me for the rest of their lives. It would be best if it was a beautiful female cultivator. They will never forget me, and their hatred will turn into love, and in the end they will be unable to get out.
"Of course it's for the great cause of the human race!"
Lu Bei puffed out his chest and said righteously, "They are the most outstanding talents of the human race in the past ten years. Each of them is a treasure. I am also a cultivator and I know the horror of inner demons. In order to give them the opportunity to prove that they are not trash, and to let them break through the demons in their hearts instead of sinking into despair, I sacrificed myself to set up the arena and wait for them to break through and then stand up again."
Regardless of whether Qin Ziyou believed it or not, he believed it anyway. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the red scarf on his chest became even brighter.
"…" x2
Zhu Xiushi turned his head to look to the side, his shoulders shrugging, and it was unclear whether he was trying to hold back a laugh or cursing.
Qin Ziyou shook his head speechlessly. It was hard to say how many of the geniuses would be able to survive the Tribulation Period in the future, but a qualified cultivator like Lu Bei would definitely have no problem reaching the Mahayana Period.
The palm and back of the hand are made of flesh, but the palm is obviously thicker, and he just felt sorry for the back of his hand.
"Sect Master Lu, if there is a challenge in the next arena, please give me some face and don't let the young man lose too miserably."
"That's natural. This sect master can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal."
Lu Bei nodded and said, "In the future, when there are arena matches, I will make sure to leave a little hope for them, so that they feel that if they can become a little stronger, they will have the possibility of defeating this sect master."
Is it possible that he is really a demon cultivator
Qin Ziyou stopped in silence and stared at Lu Bei, trying to see clearly what was going on.
The Demon Sect has a magical power that feeds on negative emotions such as despair and sadness. It can turn people into demons and make them successful in everything they do. He seriously suspected that Lu Bei had practiced this magical power.
After all, he is a Taoist practitioner, so it is reasonable for him to learn a magic cultivation technique.
"What's the matter, Elder Qin? Do you also have a female disciple who is waiting to be married?"
"… "
