Chapter 4956: Utterly Shameless
The unfortunate students were covered in dirt after rolling down the mountain.
âHahaha, nice job getting down!â Princess Ming Shi clapped and jeered at them.
They didnât understand at all because the three treasures suddenly activated the moment they tried to make contact. In other words, Li Qiyeâs curse seemed effective.
âDid he really do it?â Spectators started thinking that this was one too many coincidences.
They have never heard of anyone being capable of doing this before.
âYeah, heâs the harbinger of bad luck. Whatever ominous thing he says will come true.â One student asserted.
âReally?â Others shuddered after hearing this and kept a distance from Li Qiye.
âWouldnât that be something? Then he can curse anyone to death.â Both members of The People and The Race were afraid of Li Qiye.
At this point, they preferred to believe in this ability than otherwise - better safe than sorry.
âYou lost again.â Ming Shi waved at them and said: âCome, apologize to our young noble already. He might be merciful and spare your lives.â
Though it sounded as if she was taunting them, she was actually giving them a chance. After all, the bet dictated that Li Qiye could do whatever he wanted. This included killing them.
âWe havenât lost yet.â Swordgrasp immediately said.
âHow so? Your luck has been stolen already. Hmph, still not convinced?â Ming Shi spoke in Li Qiyeâs stead.
âWeâve only tried three treasures, there are still numerous left on the mountain. We canât lose until weâve tried and failed them all, thatâs when itâll be clear if our luck is still there or not.â Swordgrasp said cleverly.
Ming Shi had no response since this made sense. Students thought that Swordgrasp was playing dirty. Nonetheless, they couldnât refute his logic.
âYes, they have to try all the treasures first.â Someone from The Race supported the trio.
âHow long is it going to take for them to try all the treasures on the divine mountain? The ceremony will be over way before then. This is impossible to complete, itâs cheating.â A student from The People snorted.
âThis is only the beginning, we havenât lost yet.â The young monarch said, agreeing with Swordgrasp.
âYou just donât know when to give up.â Li Qiye chuckled.
âLet us try all the treasures first.â Halo said since this was their only way out.
âThis is an unprecedented level of shamelessness.â Ming Shi said with disdain.
However, their argument was interrupted by the appearance of another student who tried to sneak up the mountain.
Alas, he was still spotted by a fellow student.
âBrother Bai, what are you doing here?â The student asked without thinking.
He couldnât help but smile wryly; his plan was a failure.
âBai Shaojin!â The young monarchâs group glared at him.
Everyone knew about Benevolence at this point. Some had tried to find Shaojin after the battle but couldnât so they assumed that he had escaped.
âBai Shaojin!â The trio of geniuses traveled up the mountain again.
âDonât even think about it! Iâm giving Benevolence to the academy!â Shaojin shouted at them.
This revelation stunned everyone. The value of Benevolence was made clear as Deity took the risk of offending the academy in order to retrieve it.
Now, Bai Shaojin wanted to gift it away? This was akin to the princess giving up the lantern.
âBenevolence belongs to Deity, hand it over lest you want to die.â Swordgrasp uttered coldly and took one step forward. His sword energy enveloped Bai Shaojin.
âBrother Bai, donât make this hard on yourself, there will be no place for you to stay in the lower continents by doing this.â Halo leaped and landed in Shaojinâs path. His halo pulsed outward in order to block him.
âDonât think you can bully him. We have his back.â Ming Shi joined the show.
âIndeed. This matter is dealt with, Benevolence does not belong to Deity. If anything it belongs to The People or whoever is connected with it by fate.â Jian Yunyun said. Goldcrest naturally had her back as well.
âThatâs right, there is no logic in repeating that nonsense about Deityâs claim.â Students from The People supported Shaojin.
âI canât believe weâre having this conversation again. If Benevolence is gifted to the academy it will belong to the academy.â Another shouted.
âHmph!â The young monarch scowled and released his dragon lord aura aggressively.
Many were sent flying while vomiting blood, unable to handle his sacred aura.
âNumber means nothing here.â The young monarch glared at the crowd, aware that he was the strongest.
Li Qiye waved at Shaojin and the latter hurriedly ran over, hiding behind Li Qiye.
âAlright, will you three end yourselves or do I have to?â Li Qiye smiled at the trio.
This astounded students who didnât think that he would be so bold.
âYou?â The young monarchâs eyes flashed with murderous intent.
âYou did lose the bet earlier, now it is time to pay up.â Ming Shi wasnât afraid of him.
