Chapter 2003 - Game Plans

After all, Fourth Duan could not win over the Ultramarine Province Emperor with his current power and influence.

The Ultramarine Province Emperor was most likely able to exterminate everybody in the Sikong Planet’s Duan Clan 18 times over with his pinky!

Could Little Fourth Duan win over them?

Wrath smoldered in Qiao Mu’s heart. She had mentally associated this with her own birth, and she thought of those people from the Upper Three Provinces who were domineering and unreasonable.

“If they force me to go back no matter what, I’d definitely make their lives a living hell with no peace to be had!” Crown Prince Mo and Feng Chen both detected a strong emotional fluctuation from her when she uttered this sentence with intense loathing.

Feng Chen quickly patted the little fellow’s head. “Don’t worry, with me here, no one can force you to do anything.”

Mo Lian glared at Feng Chen’s hand, while Feng Chen just swept a glance back at him. The latter took his hand away only when he saw Duanmu Qing and the others coming down the stairs out of the corner of his eye.

“Hey, you guys are so early.” The little fatty descended the stairs quickly and pulled up a stool to their table.

“Say, we’ll be in the top 30 after two more days of competition.” Ma Ta took a bun and tore off a piece before popping it into his mouth.

“I wonder if they’ll come up with some ploy for their finals.” Zhou Danjin looked at the students with an indescribable expression.

“Mentor Zhou, why don’t you tell everybody what you’re worried about?”

Zhou Danjin looked at everybody. “I’m thinking that since everybody knows about Xiao Qiao, that she has a sacred beast. Most likely, the finals will not be pitting the teams against each other.”

Everybody understood this point.

......

They were well aware that Qiaoqiao had a sacred beast, and perhaps more than one. If they still rushed over to snatch first place from her, then they truly had no sense of judgment.

“Then Mentor Zhou, what kind of ploy do you think the geezers from the various prefectures’ top-ranked academies will cook up?”

Zhou Danjin shook his head with a sigh. “We’ll just have to wait and see.”

Thinking about it, if the other party came up with a particularly unreasonable request, their Apex Academy wouldn’t be the only one dissatisfied.

“They wouldn’t make us eradicate some zombie base right?” The little fatty yowled while biting on a pastry.

Wei Xu shook his head. “They wouldn’t be that dumb. They didn’t say that you couldn’t use mystic beasts while eradicating the zombie base either.”

That’s right.?Everybody nodded hearing this.

If those fogeys from the academies were going to target this, they would probably put a restriction on using mystic beasts in the rules for the finals.

Qiao Mu was indifferent. She deadpanned, “Do they think that without summoning Bloodfire and them, our hands would be tied?”

If those famed academies’ mentors were thinking this way, their students better watch out.

Mentor Hu said with a smile, “Xiao Qiao had also demonstrated her medical skills in front of everyone. If they intentionally target our academy, they will also take this into account.”

Qi Xuanxuan sneered. “Then they might as well go with their trump card and seal everybody’s inner worlds!”

Mentor Zhou smacked his lips and cleared his throat. “Perhaps this time, they will stipulate that talismans are prohibited.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Everybody raised their eyebrows.

“Don’t worry, Mentor. This kind of hardship we had already experienced in the Qianluo Underground Battle Arena.” Lu Yu chortled.

Ma Ta also chimed in beside him. “That’s right. Speaking of which, we have to thank the mentors for your strict training!”

“That’s right.” Zhou Danjin nodded. “All the pains we mentors take are for you.”
