Pei Xijun nodded thoughtfully, saying:
"So that's how it is. It seems we can't judge the value of a soul beast solely based on its combat power."
The male team member, after listening, was no longer indignant and exclaimed:
"I really underestimated these soul beasts before. Every existence has its meaning."
Immediately after, Lu Lingfeng also took out the recording soul device from his sleeve.
Inside, it clearly recorded: 666 points.
Lu Lingfeng nodded with satisfaction and said to Pei Xijun:
"This score is alright, barely passing."
Pei Xijun responded with a smile:
"Yes, we tried our best to find soul beasts."
Lu Lingfeng suddenly said:
"Mainly because I fought with you... I'm satisfied with any score!"
This sudden burst of emotion caught Pei Xijun off guard, and she didn't know what to say.
She quickly lowered her head, a hint of redness appearing on her face.
At this moment.
The third group also took out their soul device, which read: 505 points.
Losing the competition was within their expectations because they knew this would be the result from the moment the draw ended.
They knew that if Lu Lingfeng and Pei Xijun were in a group, they simply wouldn't have the strength to win.
"Originally, we were thinking of fighting for second place, but Ahri and the others defeated that Thunderous Crimson Tiger, directly adding 500 points, which further confirmed that we had no hope of advancing."
The male team member smiled wryly, saying helplessly.
Now, only the scores of Ahri and Sha Zhuge's group haven't been announced yet.
Everyone's eyes were locked on Sha Zhuge, their eyes filled with anticipation.
A hint of disdainful smile appeared on Sha Zhuge's face.
He slowly raised his left hand and took out the recording soul device from his sleeve.
A series of golden numbers slowly appeared above his head.
889 points!
Everyone looked at the golden numbers, their eyes wide, their mouths wide open, their faces full of disbelief.
"What? 889 points?"
"My goodness! That's too high!"
The arena was in an uproar, everyone shocked by this ridiculously high score.
Sha Zhuge looked at the reactions of the crowd, the disdain in the corner of his mouth becoming more obvious.
He slightly raised his chin, thinking arrogantly,
"Hmph, you think you can compete with me? This first place is mine."
Ahri stood aside, very calmly.
Although she got first place, she wasn't particularly happy.
She felt that this Sha Zhuge was becoming more and more strange, not like ordinary young clansmen.
She always felt that he had a mentality different from his peers, and even seemed to harbor hatred towards everyone, especially towards Zhuge Lan.
At this time, the mentor in charge of the competition came forward, his face also full of surprise, but he quickly calmed down.
"The result of this competition is already very clear. Sha Zhuge and Ahri's group won first place with an absolute advantage of 889 points. The second place is Lu Lingfeng and Pei Xijun's group. Their score is 666 points."
"I announce that the final contestants to enter the finals are Lu Lingfeng, Sha Zhuge, Ahri, and Pei Xijun. The finals will be held in 3 days, and the content of the competition will be announced in two days."
Suddenly, Sha Zhuge shouted loudly:
"Zhuge Lan!"
Zhuge Lan was startled by this roar.
Why are you shouting so loudly...
When Ahri heard his shout, her heart tightened, and she nervously clenched her fists.
"Do you have any questions? Mr. Sha Zhuge?"
Zhuge Lan said politely.
"You haven't said what exactly the treasure you're rewarding is."
Sha Zhuge said coldly.
Zhuge Lan smiled slightly, saying unhurriedly:
"Mr. Sha, don't worry. This treasure is an extremely precious item, of course, I can't announce it now. Anyway, everyone only needs to know that this treasure comes from my hands, Zhuge Lan, and I believe everyone will know its preciousness."
"So."
Zhuge Lan continued jokingly:
"Mr. Sha, you have to work hard in the finals in 3 days."
A trace of disdain flashed in Sha Zhuge's eyes, and he secretly calculated in his heart.
He slightly raised his chin and said coldly: "Hmph, I hope this treasure is as precious as you say."
Zhuge Lan directly returned him a polite, fake smile.
At this time, Sha Zhuge didn't know that Zhuge Lan had already seen through his true identity as Tang San.
Zhuge Lan smiled evilly in his heart.
Little turtle, little turtle, you're still acting with me here, don't you think about who I am.
You really think you can deceive the heavens?
When the finals come, I'll see how I'll make you lose face.
Immediately after.
As the host announced the end of the competition results, it was already evening, and everyone dispersed one after another.
At this time, Bai Chenxiang came over and suggested to everyone:
"Why don't we go to a restaurant for dinner tonight?"
Zhuge Lan echoed:
"Okay! All expenses are paid by the beauty Bai!"
Pei Xijun smiled and waved her hand embarrassedly:
"You guys go ahead, I need to collect some medicinal herbs to make some pills tonight, so I can't go to dinner with you."
Lu Lingfeng also politely lowered his head and shook his head, refusing:
"I'm not available either, I need to go to practice later. After this battle in the forest, I feel that my own strength is not strong enough."
Bai Chenxiang nodded:
"Alright."
Then looked at Ahri:
"Ahri? Are you free to go to dinner together?"
Ahri blushed and asked softly:
"Me... Can I?"
"Of course!"
Bai Chenxiang said happily, giving Ahri a big hug directly.
"Of course—"
Zhuge Lan also imitated Bai Chenxiang's tone and movements, and ran over to give Ahri a loving hug.
Bang --
Another loud head flick, making Zhuge Lan grimace in pain.
"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts!"
"Told you not to learn your lesson."
Bai Chenxiang said angrily, then asked Sha Zhuge aside:
"Sha Zhuge, come with us."
"No..."
Sha Zhuge was about to refuse, but suddenly thought that if it was the finals again, it would be a team.
Although I don't know what the competition rules of the finals are now.
But if Ahri abandons the game again and drags him down, he won't be qualified to compete.
Sha Zhuge swallowed back the refusal he had subconsciously said halfway.
He looked at Ahri and found that Ahri was staring straight at him.
"Um... I'm okay with anything."
Sha Zhuge could only bite the bullet and agree.
Hearing Sha Zhuge agree, the gloom on Ahri's face eased slightly.
They found a restaurant and sat down.
Everyone sat around the table, the atmosphere in the restaurant warm and expectant.
The soft light shone on them, reflecting the different expressions of each person.
Bai Chenxiang took the lead in breaking the silence. Her bright eyes sparkled with excitement, and she said with a smile:
"This restaurant is very famous in this area. Their signature dishes are super delicious. I've been asking around for a long time before I found this place. Everyone is in for a treat today."
Her voice was clear and melodious, like a silver bell echoing in the air, instantly making the originally quiet atmosphere relaxed.
