C69 Part1

Translated by An Edited by An

After nearly two months of training and hard work, the comprehensive strength of several people both as an individual and as a group had greatly improved. They had become better at using the techniques and their mutual cooperation had also taken a large qualitative leap.

In the first few weeks, the instructors and the attendants teamed up to test their progress. But after that, Dean Xiang Chi stepped in to check them in person. She formed a team with the young male beastmen of the Nursery Hall and the attendants of the Saintess Hall. Nevertheless, as this was the last time, she paired up with her own Guardian Beast, Lord Chi Xue, who was also the HallMaster of the Nursery Hall.

“Ohoho~~” From above the viewing platform, HallMaster Mu YouZhi stared at them with a huge smile pasted across his big round face. Both of his fat palms were placed on the protruding belly as they rubbed it back and forth. “A totally unprecedented lineup ah! A high-ranking Female Warrior along with four Tier 3 males… The pressure on these little fellas is not small ah. They are practically facing the strongest official lineup of our Han City!”

Luo Chong bent over and placed the teachp down on the small table beside Xu. Then, he turned his gaze and glanced at the two teams of people sitting in the arena. The petite figure sitting in front of the other team members seemed to soak up all the radiance from the rest of the team; she was so dazzling. Infatuation flashed in his eyes but soon, it turned into a wry smile as he suppressed his wild thoughts: “It is also necessary for Dean Xiang Chi to do this. I heard that the strength of the representatives of Cang City, LanJing City and WanQing City are not something that we can afford to overlook. There are also several teams whose actual strength has reached the Yellow rank but they are waiting for this competition. Only after this competition will they be willing to make a breakthrough and go straight to the Yellow-Ranked Saintess Hall. What’s more, we also have to consider those several dark horses who will reveal themselves during the battle.”

Yes, there’s likely to be more than a few dark horses from over the entire Empire. People had always liked hidden surprises, so they will be pleasantly surprised by these dark horses.

“Doesn’t our Saintess Hall also have a dark horse?” Mu YouZhi’s fat finger pointed to Yang QiQi’s team, “Now, it all depends on whether the team leader is good or not.” After saying this, he said to Luo Chong and said, “What are you standing for? Sit down, sit down.”

“Yes.” Luo Chong sat down. His seat was on the right-side behind Mu YouZhi’s seat, just behind Nian JiMo’s and Zheng Shou’s.

Since it was the last practice match and with such a formidable team as the opponent, Mu YouZhi finally became generous and let the two off for half of the day. He also brought them here to watch the fight from the sidelines.

“What Cang City and WanQing City?” Zheng Shou stuffed his mouth with snacks and protested in dissatisfaction at the back of Mu YouZhi’s head. “My family’s QiQi baby will naturally take first place ah. I must say, fat old man, this time, you can put your heart at ease.” He stretched out his fingers covered with cake crumbs and poked Luo Chong’s nameplate 43r017 while saying: “Just wait. As soon as this competition is over, you will be able to change this 3 to 1.”

( Author’s Note: Initially, Luo Chong’s nameplate number was 43r015. However, since Nian JiMo and Zheng Shou challenged Shen YuanLiang and Shi Qing respectively and even won, he lost two ranks in a row.)

[ T/N: Please refer back to chapter 27.2 if you don’t remember how these nameplate numbers are arranged. ]

In this entire Han City, Zheng Shou was probably the only one who was rude and disrespectful to Mu YouZhi. He called him, the HallMaster of the Saintess Hall, as ‘fat old man’.

“Ohohoho~~~” Mu YouZhi did not get angry. Instead, he held his big belly and burst out into a loud laughter: “Then I’ll wait for the position of number one.”

Luo Chong rolled his eyes and pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his dirty nameplate: ‘What a crude male ah! I don’t know what kind of dumb luck he got so that he was able to win the favor of Female Warrior QiQi and become her guardian beast. This is really unfair… But, exchange 3 with 1? That must be a great feeling~’

He was really eager to be able to step on those old and powerful cities like Cang City, LanJing City, WanQing City and occupy the top spot among the Green-Ranked Saintess Halls ah! If they really won the first place in the future, then whenever he was sent to another City as an Envoy, no one would be able to gossip behind his back saying Han City took the third place just by luck. ‘ Laozi will be able to stand upright from then on!’

“It’s about to begin.” Nian JiMo’s tapped on the armrest of thee seat with his fingers, interrupting a certain hunter's wish to continue chattering away.
