Chapter 447: Chapter 306: Yellow Turban Warriors! [Request for Monthly Votes!]
"Including the one that has yet to be revealed."
"And the ’Centipede Bee Bag’ on Zhuge Zhen."
"There should only be two blue lights below the stage, so why are there three additional Third-Rank Blue Equipment?"
Lu Yuru was astonished.
Soon after, she saw the three teams with these three Third-Rank Blue Equipment respectively participating in the draw for the ’Zi Character’, ’You Character’, and ’Hai Character’ arenas.
And the arena masters of these three arenas——
Wei Lingshan Team!
Situ Fei Team!
Yan Chuan Team!
They were the three teams that had been defending the arena from the first day of the Sword Discussion until today, the ninth day, never stepping down!
"Such a coincidence?"
Lu Yuru’s eyes flickered, vaguely forming a guess.
...
The ninth day of the Sword Discussion.
Noon.
A new round of draws ended, and a new round of offense and defense began.
This time, the first-ranked opponent drawn for the Hai Character arena where Yan Chuan was located was——
"Outsider competitors."
"These few are all disciples of Yanjing Academy, their strength is outside the two lists, Wang Ge and Yun Zhan can handle them."
Yan Chuan gave them a glance, not paying much attention.
However——
"Master Yan!"
"The opponents have powerful Exotic Treasures, handle them with utmost caution."
Standing on the stage, Yan Chuan suddenly felt a breeze in his ear, and a secret voice came along. Unmoved, he glanced at the ’Shen Character’ arena and saw Lu Yuru lowering her head, wiping her long sword in a detached manner.
Yet it was this newly ’Absolute’ figure who had just sent the message!
"Returning a favor?"
"But how does she, the number one Heavenly Pride of Zhaoxin Academy, know whether the disciples of Yanjing Academy, outside the ’two lists,’ have Third-Rank Exotic Treasures?"
Even the Traveler Department doesn’t know!
Yan Chuan was puzzled.
But he took Lu Yuru’s warning very seriously, immediately passing on a message to Wang Zhengyi and Chen Ze: "The opponent has powerful Exotic Treasures, so make sure Wang Ge and Yun Zhan go up in the open first, but in reality, Old Wang, you explode with full strength, sweeping all five opponents off the stage at once with no mercy, fast and decisive. My junior brother and I will watch closely, ready to assist you at any moment if things change!"
Given Lu Yuru’s solemn reminder, Yan Chuan could not leave things to chance.
Yet he couldn’t attack rashly; deploying Wang Zhengyi was the most appropriate strategy.
If things change.
If Wang Zhengyi is countered.
Yan Chuan still had the means to turn the tide!
But——
"Old Yan!"
"You go up!"
"I won’t hide it from you; I have a Treasure, capable of turning the table!"
Wang Zhengyi had the same idea as Yan Chuan.
He also had a Treasure!
He could also turn the table!
"..."
Yan Chuan paused, forced to smile: "I arranged it this way because I also have an Exotic Treasure."
They looked at each other.
Then, simultaneously.
Turned their gaze to Chen Ze——
"Alright!"
"I will go up!"
Without a second thought, Chen Ze took up the responsibility!
...
The ninth day.
Noon.
The Yanjing Academy team was attacking the first-ranked position at the Hai Character arena, headed by someone named ’Zeng Jin,’ who was considered a good hand in Yanjing Academy, though not in the ’two lists’, putting him in Jian Province, he could sweep across a state. Back then, Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi might have been slightly inferior, as their ascent to the ’Hidden Dragon List’ was mostly due to the attention from the Traveler Department or the court to lower states and remote small states. Their real strength back then was actually somewhat lacking.
But today’s situation is different.
Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi made great progress on their way to Cang Mountain, their strength growing daily. After arriving at Cang Mountain to fight, they rapidly advanced, especially Wang Zhengyi, who now almost rivals an ’Absolute’ figure, far beyond what a mid-upper level player like Zeng Jin can compare to.
Fame is like a shadow!
Zeng Jin clearly knew this as well, so he prepared to act upon mounting the stage.
But——
"Blocked!"
Zeng Jin frowned inwardly.
He found Wang Ge and Fu Yunzhan at the front on stage, seemingly intending to fight two against five. Chen Ze with the sword in the back seemed to be holding the line.
As for Yan Chuan.
As for Wang Zhengyi.
Both were behind the trio, pacing, their forms obscured by Chen Ze and the others, making it hard to see clearly.
"Don’t rush it yet."
"Wait a little longer."
Zeng Jin suppressed his restless heart, thinking of the Exotic Treasure in his sleeve. His original intent was to capture the elusive Yan Chuan first upon getting on stage, then the remaining Wang Zhengyi and Chen Ze would be easy to deal with. But now the positioning was wrong, and the angle was poor, so he had to wait a little longer.
With this thought.
Wang Ge and Fu Yunzhan rushed forward.
"Hah!"
They leaped in, one with boxing fierce, one with swordplay tricky, neither lacking.
Instantly entangling in combat.
Zeng Jin knew the usual approach on the Hai Character arena. When faced with ordinary teams, Wang Ge and Fu Yunzhan were dispatched, previously along with Chen Ze. The three or single individual would be sent, while Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi held the line in the rear.
Now, with Chen Ze having ’Ascended,’ facing weaker teams, only Wang Ge and Fu Yunzhan would join forces.
"Let’s play with them first."
Zeng Jin, wielding a knife, immediately led his four teammates into a mixed battle with Wang Ge and Fu Yunzhan.
But.
Clang clang clang!
As blades and swords just met, Zeng Jin suddenly saw——
"Chen Ze!"
He saw Chen Ze holding a sword with both hands, surprisingly not holding the line, but instantly breaking into the circle, slashing rapidly four times in a blink, catching him off guard, instantly slashing his right wrist, and with a clang, the steel blade fell to the ground.
Such a powerful Chen Ze!
The Double-Handed Sword showed its might, instantly defeating Zeng Jin and three with him, leaving one person pressured jointly by Wang Ge and Fu Yunzhan, on the verge of defeat.
Zeng Jin had no time to think more, quickly raising his hand to emit a rainbow beam——
"Ah?"
Chen Ze was startled, quickly turning his dual swords, trying to dodge.
But the rainbow beam was faster, and the distance was simply too close to avoid. In a flash, Chen Ze was entangled by the rainbow beam, revealing it as a ’Rainbow Rope’ upon manifestation.
