GAMMT - Chapter 75
Chapter 75: Green Blood
On the second floor, Qin Minfeng was somewhat cautious as he descended. At first, he had only seen Xie Keli as a target and the other experts as rivals.
Along his journey, he had deeply felt his own uniqueness. His opportunities were always more plentiful than others, and his potential was immense. As long as he had the resources, he could always quickly absorb them.
He was certain that even if those in the first echelon were stronger than him now, he could surpass them after obtaining a few treasures.
Just as the old man had told him before, he was a child of destiny, chosen by fate.
But he never expected the prey to exceed his expectations.
Too strong.
"No wonder he initially told me to kill him to get the merit… I'm afraid the Xie Keli back then was already considered a high-potential individual by the system. It's a pity I failed that time."
Why had he focused all his attention on Zhou Linlang back then?
He should have forcibly killed this bastard back in the bandit den, even if it meant exposing something.
But regret was useless now. Qin Minfeng looked down at the mark on his palm.
A special arcane tether: the Team Cohesion Seal.
They had previously considered that if they were separated, communicators would be useless. Their only option was to use this kind of arcane art beforehand to sense each other's presence and regroup as quickly as possible.
So, after descending, Qin Minfeng knew where the others were. But he was cautious, observing the state of the prison cells here.
If most of the cell doors were open, it meant the first-echelon members had been aggressive and had already cleared most of the second floor. For the sake of efficiency, they wouldn't linger on the second floor.
In that case, he would be safer.
Qin Minfeng proceeded with extreme care, avoiding many people before finding Donglong Zhao and his group of three, who were in the middle of attacking a cell door.
It turned out they had gathered early on the first floor and then combined their strength to push to the next level. Their point progression was faster than Qin Minfeng's.
In truth, Qin Minfeng was well aware that Chen Sihai and Donglong Zhao still didn't see him as one of their own. Sending him to test Xie Keli was a way for him to solve his own problems. When it came to actually farming points, their three families' interests and their children's futures were intertwined; they didn't necessarily need him tagging along.
Tagging along?
Qin Minfeng only remembered that they didn't treat him as one of their own and didn't give him enough benefits, yet he completely forgot that the benefits they had given him were, in fact, quite substantial.
A lot, but not enough.
Human desire is infinite.
Right now, Qin Minfeng was thinking of tying these three together… Before he even reached their area, he consumed mental power to activate the arcane art in his palm, sending a message.
The three of them were deep in battle when they suddenly sensed the message.
"There's a situation." Qin Minfeng's tone was urgent.
"So urgent that you're using the seal to contact us." Donglong Zhao heard the urgency and the irregularity in his breathing. Thinking that Qin Minfeng was likely in a sorry state, he asked, "You can't beat him?"
Beside him, Chen Sihai's expression immediately soured.
Lian Sujin was also filled with doubt and uncertainty.
They had previously judged Xie Keli's strength to be considerable, but Chen Sihai hadn't believed it. Now, if he could suppress Qin Minfeng, wouldn't that mean he could also contend with him?
He was only slightly stronger than Qin Minfeng.
"Yes, he's strong. Really strong. I'm no match for him. I fled as soon as I saw things were going south."
"He's chasing me now. You're on the second floor, right? Hurry down to the third. I'll lead him far away. The top-tier experts should be down there. With them around, this Xie Keli won't dare to act recklessly."
"You all won't be in danger."
"Ah Jin, hide well."
Qin Minfeng was quite skilled at manipulation. At the very least, Lian Sujin and Chen Sihai only felt that he was thinking of them, while Donglong Zhao cared about only one thing.
"Did you fight?"
"We fought."
"Your assessment. I want specifics."
"Top thirty of the second echelon. When I fought him, I found his perception to be incredibly sharp, and he has an ability to instantly materialize light in an explosive burst. But I feel that even if all three of his attributes have surpassed one hundred thousand, his mental power shouldn't be enough to sustain such massive and high-speed group control—unless he has a treasure that can assist him."
"With the effect of such a treasure, he has area-of-effect capabilities. A team of two from our side might not be a match for him. Let's avoid him for now. I guess the people from the Xie Clan will make a move. Aren't there people from the Xie Clan's second and main branches here? Xie Baiyu and Xie Kunpeng. Either of them is more than enough to kill him in an instant. Let's just leave him to them."
Qin Minfeng was meticulous, and his words left no loopholes. He stated his position, advancing by retreating, without a single lie.
Speculation, judgment, warning, tact…
He knew he could only speak the truth, because Donglong Zhao wasn't a fool. But his truth had to be enticing enough for Donglong Zhao.
A treasure. Qin Minfeng genuinely believed there was one, because even if there wasn't, he could later explain that he thought it was something Xie Keli had redeemed from the system.
He did indeed suspect that this person had redeemed a treasure. Otherwise, how could he possibly be more outstanding than himself?
Xie Keli shouldn't have such high potential.
It must be because of a treasure.
So, would Donglong Zhao want it too?
Because he controlled lightning, and lightning was somewhat similar to the light element in essence. If he could also use this treasure to materialize his power, his lethality would at least double.
Qin Minfeng waited for a moment, deliberately letting Donglong Zhao hear the sound of wind caused by his high-speed running.
It didn't take long, just seven or eight seconds.
Bang!
Qin Minfeng even deliberately slammed into a wall to create the sound of an attack.
"Lure him over. We're setting up. Hurry, don't waste time."
"Alright."
After ending the communication, Qin Minfeng let out a breath and began to check behind him.
Strange, he wasn't followed?
Qin Minfeng was suspicious, but he was certain that Xie Keli would not let him go.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly sensed movement behind him.
He's here after all!
A glint flashed in his eyes as he picked up speed… At the same time, rays of light shot forward from behind, rapidly traversing the air and walls, gradually closing the distance with Qin Minfeng.
On the other side, upon learning that Xie Keli was in pursuit, Donglong Zhao and the other two quickened their assault… Bang!
The prison door opened. The three exchanged a look and simultaneously played their trump cards.
Chen Sihai was probably the most selfish of them, only choosing his second-best trump card.
Lian Sujin said, "Well now, your uncle really dotes on you, even getting you a permanent card. Let me see, increases body toughness by 30%. A defensive one, is he afraid you'll die?"
Chen Sihai retorted, "Get lost. You have one too. My dad said your mom bought it with him at an auction. It was expensive. You even have a pet?"
Lian Sujin replied, "Yes, my dad gave it to me. A Blue-tier Agility Leopard. When it possesses me, it can add fifty thousand to my agility and gives me an explosive burst of speed. But don't any of us have offensive trump cards?"
How could they not?
The next second, they were shielded by a blue halo. Upon closer inspection, they saw that Donglong Zhao had directly summoned a blue metal puppet floating in mid-air.
"A Mechanized Combat Puppet: is that a combat puppet pet developed by the Imperial Military? Holy crap! Ours combined aren't as expensive as yours…"
"Damn, it gives a group-wide 80% boost to the strength attribute, and there's even a layer of weapon sharpening effect."
Chen Sihai was green with envy. Lian Sujin, on the other hand, was calmer. Perhaps she also had a treasure of this level?
They had given up the right to go inside and redeem items, but they had kept their resources.
Chen Sihai was somewhat shocked, but then he saw Donglong Zhao take out four more cards. With a flick of his fingers, the cards materialized into cloaks.
"A new product from the Alchemy Guild. The permanent ones were too expensive, so I bought disposable ones. Use them. With these, unless it's a 50th-level Arcanist or one of the few experts in the first echelon who specialize in perception, no one else will be able to detect our presence before we strike."
Chen Sihai said, "Sujin, later you must remember to completely stun him, give him no time to even think about withdrawing. It's best to kill him directly."
His words were vicious, leaving no room for survival. Lian Sujin clearly agreed, "Do you even need to tell me?"
Donglong Zhao, however, frowned slightly, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. It wasn't that he didn't want to kill, but he was afraid of the involvement of Xie Siyi… Killing someone in the competition to ruin their future and halt their development was one thing. But if they really killed someone now, they would be disrupting Xie Siyi's plans, which was tantamount to interfering in the Xie Clan's internal power struggle. They weren't siding with the Xie Clan's main or second branches, and the latter wouldn't be sending them any commendations. Offending Xie Siyi for nothing was not worth it.
It wasn't worth it for a mere Qin Minfeng.
Even if that Xie Keli had some protection, it still wasn't worth it.
But in the end, Donglong Zhao said nothing. He was also afraid that even if Xie Keli performed poorly in the re-selection, with the aptitude he was currently displaying, Xie Siyi would still cultivate him in the future.
Would he not hold a grudge against them then?
That would be like nurturing a tiger that would come back to bite them.
Donglong Zhao ultimately acquiesced to their plan.
He had decided to act only because he was confident, and he was cautious and steady. Once he struck, he had to succeed.
Once ready, swoosh, the three of them all turned invisible and spread out, waiting for Qin Minfeng to lure Fu Chuan over.
At this moment, Fu Chuan was in hot pursuit of Qin Minfeng. Seeing the direction he was fleeing, her heart skipped a beat, and her emotions stirred.
Little Yellow: Sister, what's wrong?
Fu Chuan: "It's nothing. I just suddenly feel that people really can't be compared."
Was it a coincidence that Qin Minfeng was fleeing towards the special prison on the second floor?
He definitely didn't know the map, so it could only be a coincidence.
But it also meant that, in the grand scheme of things, he would eventually discover that prison, because that was the effect of fate and luck.
So if this kind of person was allowed to grow, he would actually be more terrifying than the scions of the Orange Blood clans.
Because every male and female lead would eventually become the most powerful figure in their world or plane, wielding supreme authority.
"I wonder how many people like him there are in this world… Perhaps in a sense, I'm also a rather special one?"
Fu Chuan couldn't wrap her head around things like transmigration across space and time and matters beyond the scope of the universe, so she stopped thinking about it. She deliberately launched two attacks from behind, but they missed, dodged by him.
With that, the scene appeared on the screens. A portion of the people in the hunting ground, who had been watching other battles, were drawn to this one.
After all, many were there for the exam, which was a normal competition, but this… this was clearly a revenge killing.
"It's starting this quickly? They couldn't hold back."
"How could they? The previous assassination attempt failed. It's obvious that Xie Keli won't let him go."
"I wonder if Xie Keli knows that Qin Minfeng and his group of four have a way to communicate and can gather to set a trap for him…"
"But this person is so cunning, so smart. I'd say among the 4,000 candidates, he ranks in the top twenty for shrewdness. For him to take such a risk so rashly… I feel like something's not right. What if…"
Those non-family members who could patiently watch the competition here all had access to some detailed information, or they were well-connected and could have anything they wanted delivered by their subordinates.
Xie Keli and Qin Minfeng were previously third or fourth-rate characters with little presence, but after their recent fight, they had nicely touched the second-rate tier.
So, their information was now available.
A suspicious guild manager chatted idly with a colleague beside him, saying, "What if he knows full well that Qin Minfeng is luring him towards the other three, and he still dares to chase after him? Then…"
The colleague: "Huh? Then…"
Both were sharp individuals. The moment they said this, they subconsciously looked towards a certain area—the section where the Donglong, Lian, and Chen families were located.
And at that moment… two people emerged from a corner corridor.
Lan Luoqi and Lan… Xuanyu.
His younger brother had already been eliminated. What was Lan Xuanyu, the elder brother, doing here?
Naturally, he was here to show concern for his former high school academy.
On his way, Lan Xuanyu greeted some of his former teachers, appearing to be very well-connected and socially adept. After coming down, he happened to see the two people chasing each other on the screen.
Lan Luoqi: "Looks like you won't have to do anything. No need to use a sledgehammer on a nut."
Lan Xuanyu: "No. Back then, I only managed to get into West Jin at a second-echelon level. If he can also perform at this level now… his future achievements might not be less than mine. He must be nipped in the bud."
Just as he finished speaking.
On the screen, the light behind Qin Minfeng suddenly accelerated…
Not good! Qin Minfeng executed a clumsy roll on the ground, dodging the piercing light from behind.
Swoosh! Fu Chuan appeared not far from him, and as the light element danced at her fingertips…
Light Glory was fully charged, about to explode!
Qin Minfeng felt himself being locked on…
He was her target, but he was also the bait, which meant she was someone else's target too!
Now!
Whoosh! Chen Sihai, Lian Sujin, and Donglong Zhao all leaped out, forming a triangular battle formation, and all played their trump cards.
In that instant, their attributes were all enhanced by at least 50%, and with the buffs from their team formation, pets, cards, and Arcane Truths, they unleashed an explosive attack. Donglong Zhao's primary attack, a simple, unadorned, but fast and vicious bolt of lightning, struck directly at Fu Chuan.
The lightning was just like a regular bolt from the sky, except that while people usually see lightning without it hitting a physical object, today, it struck.
It was too fast.
So fast that Fu Chuan…
In fact, a few seconds before entering the three-person ambush, Little Yellow had already entered a fused state, sharing its agility. Her agility, by previous calculations, soared to two hundred sixty or seventy thousand.
With her agility skyrocketing and her dual pupil techniques activated, she could basically see through the four of them, even down to the speed at which they gathered elements.
She pinpointed the exact moment of their explosive attack, boosted her agility, then dodged and went invisible, evading the risk of their combined assault, and simultaneously…
The four of them, along with the spectators outside, all saw a flash of green.
That's right. The body of this eighteenth-rate side branch member of the Xie Clan, long famed as the Grand Paramour of Jingyang, erupted with a shimmering green light. Even his head was bathed in green, which was rather comical. But while it was comical… most people only found it funny and hadn't yet reacted to what the green light was, until they felt the terrifying magnitude of elemental power erupting from her!
In the hunting ground stands, many people shot to their feet, looking on in disbelief.
Lan Luoqi was dumbfounded, his face pale as he looked at his nephew, who also wore a bewildered expression.
Were they seeing things?
Could it be that this Xie Keli just naturally had a green aura?
Speaking of which, his status as the Fu Clan's fiancé was quite… a realistic shade of green. After all, Fu Ye's reputation was notoriously complicated.
Many people subconsciously associated this with matters of romance, but…
Vice Minister Zhang Ruo, who was also watching, looked thoughtful.
She had rarely seen such a student. It wasn't about being a dark horse or being unexpected, but that his bad hand was already set in stone. For example, his attributes were terrible, truly terrible, and his talent was poor, truly poor. Yet this person had managed to fight his way up. The vast resources needed to overcome his disadvantages, he had earned them all by himself.
And then, he had truly risen.
Qin Minfeng and Donglong Zhao were, after all, more formidable. They were both shocked but reacted instantly.
Qin Minfeng clasped his hands together. The arcane art he had been charging all along finally took shape, and he casually threw out a large amount of useless equipment.
Special Arcane Art: Metal Smelting.
Metal. The metal of the surrounding cell doors all melted, including the metal from the equipment, rapidly combining and compressing into a flowing liquid metal. It quickly formed a pair of metal wings on his back, and the metal solidified at an extremely fast rate, covering most of his body, especially his hands. He then gripped a long spear… and his body released a blue pet, a pitch-black lizard. The lizard merged into the spear, instantly envenoming the weapon.
At this moment, Qin Minfeng's presence was on par with Donglong Zhao's. The two of them led the attack, aiming to break through her offense with their own faster assault…
But.
Even if they unleashed all their trump cards, in terms of "speed," they were no match for Fu Chuan, whose agility had been boosted to over three hundred thousand.
Before their attacks were even launched, they saw terrifying rays of light, as fine as hair, piercing towards them from all 360 degrees with no blind spots.
There was an ancient form of torture: an oval-shaped egg, hollow inside, but with sharp spikes protruding from the inner surface of the shell. You were stuffed inside, and when it was closed, the compression of space would cause the spikes to pierce your entire body… Every part of you would be impaled, and you would be like a poached egg, one poke and the yolk would run out.
The scene they were facing now was thousands of times more terrifying.
Bang, bang, bang!
The attacks and the piercing light collided.
Collision, intensity, sparks.
This was one second.
As they clashed… screams came from the other two sides.
Because they had been blown apart.
Chen Sihai couldn't even react to switch to a defensive stance. Before his attack was even launched, the terrifying light pierced through his body. He could only rely on the defense of his equipment…
And then he was pierced through.
Lian Sujin held her greatest treasure, but she didn't have time to summon it… She was terrified. She had lost all will to fight. Her first reaction was that she was going to die, really die. I have to leave, I must get out!
Swoosh! The instant her brain was pierced through, her body and consciousness had already chosen to withdraw.
How could Qin Minfeng and the others spare a thought for the other two? The coverage of their attacks was too small, while her attack… was everywhere.
The two had no choice but to continue draining their energy to defend and evade.
Their control and reaction speed were sufficient.
The rays of light were like a torrential downpour, landing on their defensive armor with a dense patter of impacts. The two desperately held on for two or three seconds, attempting to launch a joint counterattack, when suddenly!
The elements were gone.
What the hell!
They had forgotten they were trapped in a birdcage, their space restricted. The time she had given them was actually the time she needed to create an elemental vacuum.
The nature of light isn't to devour other elements, but Fu Chuan's cunning lay in the fact that the light rays she created consumed not only her mental power.
"And the elements over there. He's deliberately consuming the elements in that area, leaving them with none to use. Once they have no elements, they're just lambs to the slaughter inside that birdcage of light… while he has a source of elements outside."
"Their only way out is to take potions, but potions need time to be absorbed. It's too late."
The experts outside could see clearly, but the two trapped inside didn't have time to think that much.
Their defense shattered!
Because the lines of the birdcage were frantically moving, it was contracting! From occupying the space of a plaza, it shrank to a third of its size in an instant.
At the same moment, Qin Minfeng's vision suddenly went white… he was stunned.
And it was a continuous stun.
He wants to kill me!
The moment he was stunned, Qin Minfeng realized it… but his willpower was still very strong. He simultaneously used metal to smelt a helmet and armor to protect his chest.
But he still felt pain, and then… a neat sense of numbness.
Miss!
Several miss notifications made Fu Chuan frown slightly.
Killing this person was indeed not as easy as she had imagined. As the male lead, he had actually resisted the stun so many times.
If he wasn't continuously stunned and still had his willpower, even for just a second, it would be enough.
So…
Two seconds later, the birdcage, weakened by the diminished elements and Xie Keli's depleted mental power, was blasted open by lightning.
An afterimage quickly mounted a mechanical pet and escaped into the wall, fleeing frantically. But as he fled, blood gushed from his body like a faucet.
Donglong Zhao's face was extremely pale as he continuously drank potions to heal his injuries.
He was afraid. The fingers clutching the potion bottle were trembling.
Who was this?
Almost everyone from the Donglong family stood up nervously. When they saw it was their own child, they collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, Lian Sujin and Chen Sihai, who had already withdrawn, did not retain the ability to move freely like other players. They collapsed to the ground, their bodies riddled with holes. Although they were external injuries and were quickly healed by a medic's skill, the psychological pressure was immense.
Because this gruesome manner of death was a bit terrifying.
Lian Sujin's lips were white. She kept touching her head. Seeing her parents and siblings not far away, she started crying, demanding they avenge her, her face filled with venomous hatred.
Chen Sihai was no better off, directly declaring to his family that he wanted revenge.
The Lian and Chen families were also infinitely furious.
"How dare a member of a Green Blood family be so arrogant…"
"Dammit!"
"But, uncle, he's a Green Blood. And he's eighteen."
It was unknown which troublemaker suddenly said this.
The two families, who had been boiling with rage, suddenly choked.
Looking back eighteen generations, there wasn't a single prodigy in their families who had achieved Green Blood status at the age of 18.
"Green Blood, that's Green Blood…"
"Is changing one's bloodline that easy?"
"How did he manage it?"
"Of course, it's because he's a descendant of the Xie Clan. No matter how distant the branch, they share the same ancestor."
When these words came from certain people's mouths, they were dripping with sourness, completely forgetting that not long ago, they were all spouting "that eighteenth-rate side branch dog of the Xie Clan."
"Once people become unreasonable, they become hypocritical. And once they become hypocritical, everything they say becomes reasonable."
Fu Qiang sighed with emotion, looking down on the faces of these people. But beside him, Fu Ye was expressionless. "So you, who used to ignore him, are now ordering clothes and shoes for him online?"
This man had just placed over a hundred items in his shopping cart, all for men, even ordering men's jewelry…
"He's my brother-in-law. Isn't it normal for a brother to be good to his brother-in-law?"
"Then why are you using my phone and my card?"
The great beauty looked at the hunting ground ahead, her expression cold, her tone calm, but somewhat frightening.
"…"
Fu Qiang awkwardly handed back the phone. "I was just trying to improve your relationship… Aiya, be a little more tender and gentle. My brother-in-law is susceptible to that. I'm really not being stingy."
They were chatting idly, but others were terrified.
"It's all because of…"
Someone couldn't help but mention Qin Minfeng, but held their tongue out of consideration for Lian Sujin's feelings. In their hearts, however, they were already grumbling. The Chen family, on the other hand, didn't hold back.
Then, they saw the third person being sent out.
Qin Minfeng.
Everyone stared at him in a daze… his injuries were so severe.
Except for his head, heart, and other vital areas, the rest of his body was a complete mess, especially the parts below his waist.
It looked like it had received special attention.
The atmosphere fell silent.
Of course, Qin Minfeng wasn't dead. The protective measures he took at the last moment had indeed saved his life. He was now surrounded by medics, but he could see the final victor on the screen.
He had been eliminated. He had been eliminated from the re-selection in less than thirty minutes.
No, it should be said that he was eliminated by Xie Keli in a matter of seconds.
How could this be!
Qin Minfeng wasn't deaf. His ears were filled with the discussions of others about a certain person, all sorts of exclamations and praises… In comparison, the four of them, the defeated, were utterly vulnerable.
Humiliation, what a great humiliation!
Could he still get into the Big Four Academies? Qin Minfeng felt terrible, but something even worse was coming.
"Qin Minfeng, you tell me, why was he so strong, yet you didn't warn us beforehand and even led him to Xiao Jin and the others?"
"Because of your personal grudge, you ruined my daughter's future!"
The more they had thought highly of him before, the more they despised and loathed him now.
Not to mention the Chen family.
Because they had suffered huge, irreversible losses.
The two families had completely lost their minds. Even when Lian Sujin spoke up for Qin Minfeng, the others…
Qin Minfeng kept explaining. His previous words were perfect, without flaws, and he repeatedly mentioned his innocence and well-intentioned warnings, but it was useless.
In his pain, he endured the humiliation of being treated while being watched and accused by everyone. He inadvertently met Xie Keli's eyes on the screen.
What was he thinking, he who had defeated four in an instant?
Qin Minfeng suddenly had an epiphany and shouted, nearly losing his composure, "It was him! He did it on purpose! He did this intentionally. From the beginning, he deliberately let me go so I would warn Ah Jin and the others. But we all thought his strength had a limit and prepared to deal with him together. But who would have thought… his goal from the start was to wipe us all out in one go! Yes, that's it! This was all his conspiracy!"
But, so what?
In the stands, a refined-looking young man from the academy guild pushed up his glasses and smiled. "If he had dealt with this Qin Minfeng alone from the start, given the temper of that little girl from the Lian family and the others, they would have definitely sought revenge and used their families to retaliate. Or if he had dealt with all four of them at once, the effect would have been the same. The best method was to let Qin Minfeng, this outsider, bear the consequences of a personal grudge. Because of his careless misjudgment in the middle… or for whatever reason, it doesn't matter. The point is, because he took the initiative to lure people over, the resulting consequence would successfully make those two families abandon him."
"But, Donglong Zhao escaped. Was it because he was focused on killing Qin Minfeng and had no time to spare? Not eliminating him directly will lead to endless trouble. If I remember correctly, his cousin is from the Li Family. He might make a move," the man with a square face next to him analyzed.
The young man shook his head. "No, the fact that Donglong Zhao escaped is what makes him most brilliant."
Huh?
"Damn, you mean he let him go on purpose?!"
The young man swirled the bottled coffee in his hand, the shattered amber in his eyes looking quite beautiful. "You see, you and many others can't tell, but Donglong Zhao and the Donglong family can definitely tell. They both came from a garbage star. That Qin Minfeng is smarter than the average kid, but it's not enough."
"This Xie Keli understands the rules quite well."
The so-called rules were that he could have taken out Donglong Zhao, but he didn't. He made it clear that his target was only Qin Minfeng, not harming the interests of the Donglong family or Donglong Zhao. He even let him go in a very dignified manner, in a way that wouldn't make Donglong Zhao feel like he was spared out of pity, and without many people knowing… This preserved his face.
"Then why didn't he let the other two go as well?"
"That's probably because the other two are ill-mannered and brainless. They wouldn't appreciate someone's goodwill and would only hold a grudge. They've been spoiled rotten."
"…"
So, the reason Lian Sujin and Chen Sihai were decisively eliminated by Xie Keli was because they were no good to begin with, and leaving them would be troublesome.
"And Xie Keli isn't afraid of their two families, but he is concerned about the Donglong family's face?"
The young man felt that this colleague was really too dense, seeing things so simply.
"It's not necessarily about being afraid or not, but he probably calculated that if the Donglong family didn't make a move, the other two families would assess the situation and ultimately not act either. This is the kind of tactic that Qin Minfeng, who only learned how to use women, doesn't yet understand—how to use the rules."
So he failed. He was lying there, covered in blood, watched by everyone, humiliated.
"Did they, did they even have a single exchange?"
"I guess… so? Although their attacks never even landed on him."
"All in all, 11 seconds."
"The four of them couldn't even last 11 seconds against him."
Theoretically, it was three kills and one escape.
"Those four combined could probably barely handle a first-echelon candidate."
"But… so that means Xie Keli is now in the first echelon."
This fact caused a stir among many people. Even the high and mighty Orange Blood families were somewhat perturbed.
The reason was simple: not all first-echelon candidates were from Orange Blood families, but all Orange Blood scions were expected to be in the first echelon. The problem was that some of these scions, cultivated with the best resources from birth, were apparently only on the same level as an eighteenth-rate side branch… disciple (dog) who had been back from the garbage star for less than two months?
An elder from the main branch had an indifferent expression as he said calmly, "What's the rush? If she was the one who brought him back, it wasn't just for voting rights, but because she valued his talent and mind. It's not strange that she would use some methods and effort to cultivate him."
That was also true.
Many from the Xie Clan were convinced.
But they still felt uneasy. Fortunately… the gap within the first echelon was huge.
"His weakness is obvious. He seems to favor highly explosive methods. These ultimate moves have astonishing burst power, but their sustainability in the long run is a drawback. However, if he can ensure a clean sweep, this drawback becomes irrelevant."
Of course it was obvious. At this moment, Fu Chuan had exhausted most of her mental power. She was the only one left in the ravaged area.
While drinking a potion, she quickly approached a certain wall in the adjacent corridor and took out the puzzle…
The crowd outside had already lost their observation screen of her, but Fu Chuan was in a hurry.
She had a feeling that the others working on the puzzle were about to arrive. Once they finished, they would inevitably discover that the special prison on the first floor had already been opened. It would be obvious who had taken the treasure first.
The other nine hadn't gotten it, but the last person had managed to get it first, gaining the upper hand. From now on, this person would be everyone's enemy, unless she gave up her advantage and went into hiding.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
On the first floor, a young man in a white shirt was indeed looking at the already opened prison. He turned around, his scarlet pupils devoid of any emotion.
And this was a person that even Yun Baobao and her group were afraid of.
With a single step, his body drifted away like the wind and disappeared, then reappeared at the entrance to the second floor.
He also had a premonition: the person who had gotten ahead of him might be breaking into the second prison.
Go down, catch him, kill him, and take both treasures.
He formed a seal with his fingers, and a wisp of energy chased after a certain residual aura in the air… heading straight for Fu Chuan.
