"Soul... Soul Emperor?!"
Liu Dezhi exclaimed, sitting blankly on the sofa, his eyes wide like saucers, unable to react for a long time.
The Soul Emperor was too far away for him.
The first time he used his martial soul in battle was yesterday, against those girls from the Plant Academy...
Even so, he was extremely nervous, but fortunately, the plan went smoothly and there were no mishaps, which is why he won the competition.
But now he was being told that his second battle in his life would be against seven experts at the Soul Emperor level or above.
What a joke!
Not to mention that those seven all possessed the continent's top beast martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Sun Dabao also fell silent for a moment, his chubby face losing its color for the first time.
He instinctively shifted his gaze to Chi Xiu.
Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Chi Xiu at the same time.
Bi Ji ate the snacks on the table, her big green eyes blinking as she looked at everyone.
She didn't understand why everyone had suddenly fallen silent.
What happened to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex? What happened to the Soul Emperor? Was he that powerful?
"Aww—"
Biji ate her snacks, her fair cheeks bulging like a squirrel's.
She was more concerned about the Silver Dragon King aura emanating from Chi Xiu; she needed to find an opportunity to interrogate him properly.
"What happened to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex?"
"What happened to the Soul Emperor?"
"Was he that powerful?"
Chi Xiu raised his head, calmly snatched the snacks from Biji's hand and stuffed them into his mouth, his eyes fixed intently on Bai Niao.
Biji stared at him
, frozen in place. Chi Xiu ignored her, continuing calmly,
"The challenge is scheduled for tomorrow morning. You can tell the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan to prepare."
Bai Niao was stunned.
But she understood that anyone hearing such a draw result would be mentally devastated.
Chi Xiu, as the captain, was no exception.
Bai Niao quickly comforted him,
"...Chi Xiu, there's nothing we can do about it. We can only blame our bad luck in drawing the sect so early."
Bai Niao sat down on the sofa and solemnly said, "We definitely can't win. My suggestion is that we give up on challenging them during the three-day challenge period, and then automatically lose this round. It won't affect our progress."
Hearing this, Chi Xiu snatched a snack from Bi Ji's little paw and retorted, "Why give up? We haven't even fought, how do we know we'll definitely lose?"
Bai Niao frowned, "The spirit of trying is good, but if we lose this challenge, we'll be permanently stuck in this round. You'll have to wait until you defeat the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect before you can challenge them again in the next round."
"I know."
"Then why are you still challenging?!"
"Did I say I would lose?"
Bai Niao was instantly speechless, her pretty face turning red.
She lowered her head, her expression serious for a moment, then looked up again, asking persistently,
"Then what's your battle plan?"
If she could come up with a surprise battle plan, turning the tide of the battle and achieving victory wouldn't be impossible.
At least their battle plan yesterday was brilliant.
Shiratori could only pin her hopes on this.
But then, upon hearing this, Chi Xiu leaned back, crossed his legs, and tilted his head slightly back, seemingly deep in thought.
This... was he just starting to come up with a plan?!
Shiratori's eyes widened; she thought Chi Xiu already had a plan.
After about a minute or two, Chi Xiu finally looked at Shiratori.
"Thinking about it carefully, the enemy's level is too high, and there are seven strong attackers. Our teammates are very likely to get injured..."
Shiratori nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes!"
My god, Chi Xiu finally got it!
Shiratori's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"So, I'll go alone."
Hearing this, she froze instantly.
He stood motionless, like a statue.
His teammates were easily injured, so he went alone?
What kind of logic was that?
After recovering, Bai Niao frantically took deep breaths, her chest heaving. "Listen, I know you're very powerful, but your cultivation level..."
Bai Niao suddenly paused.
Yes, she still knew nothing about the young man's cultivation level, not even his martial soul.
"Chi Xiu... we've known each other for so many days, could you reveal your cultivation level? Based on that, we could work together to come up with a battle plan."
Chi Xiu smiled. "I can't say."
He turned to Bi Ji. "Tomorrow you'll come with me, just the two of us."
Bi Ji stared blankly at him, then suddenly snatched the snacks from Chi Xiu's hand and quickly stuffed them into her mouth.
She shrank back.
"I can only heal, I have no combat abilities."
Chi Xiu smiled. "That's enough."
...
Tian Dou Royal Hotel.
Davis stood by the window, secretly watching the scene on the street below, and couldn't help but laugh, "The Heaven Dou team's luck is really a bit bad."
"A bunch of people are protesting down there, and they're even venting their anger on us."
"Be careful, don't go out for the next couple of days, lest we get blocked by these Heaven Dou citizens."
On the street below,
a group of passionate youths gathered at the entrance of the Royal Hotel, protesting:
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan withdraws from the Three Upper Sects!"
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan withdraws from the Three Upper Sects!"
...
"Damn it, they sent seven Soul Emperors right off the bat, how the hell are we supposed to fight?!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
"We demand a re-draw
!"
"Re-draw!"
...
The passionate youths on the street protested incessantly, and some citizens even gathered at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
However, the Heaven Dou royal family was currently in Wuhun City.
They were equally worried.
"Qinghe, I'm really worried, and I don't know how Chi Xiu and the others will choose to deal with this."
Hearing Xue Ye's words, Xue Qinghe didn't know what to say.
In fact, he didn't know the specifics of Chi Xiu's martial soul, only that he was very strong and hid it very well.
The only person present who knew Chi Xiu's martial soul was Bibi Dong.
However, this woman maintained an indifferent demeanor throughout.
Come to think of it, what did a competition between two countries have to do with her Spirit Hall?
The Spirit Hall had been trying to recruit Chi Xiu for so many years without success, and Bibi Dong had gradually stopped investing much energy in him.
She was too preoccupied with her own affairs.
Xue Qinghe looked at Bibi Dong; this woman hadn't spoken a word to him for almost a month, and when they met, they didn't even exchange glances. She
was still angry. She was also angry
about him secretly letting 0000 go.
Bibi Dong ignored him, and he ignored her too; let the cold war continue. Their relationship wasn't that good to begin with.
"Qinghe, prepare the carriage as soon as possible. I need to catch the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's match tomorrow."
Xue Qinghe looked surprised: "Father? You're going to the scene?"
Xue Ye nodded: "I'm really worried. Chi Xiu and the other kids must be under a lot of pressure. I'll go to comfort them and see how they handle it."
"Don't make a fuss. Go incognito."
