Chapter 572: The Scum Is A Pessimist

Ke Lu gnashed his teeth in anger. How can he be defeated like this? He thought as his bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred. "AAARRRHH!!!" he screamed as threw everything that he have in him and dashed away.

"Tch!" xiao Ling clicked his tongue while xiao Bao immediately protected xiao Ling.

"A feint." Xiao Bao's eyes narrowed. "Bai Tan!" he yelled.

Bai Tan naturally isn't idle. It chased Ke Lu again and blocked his way to prevent him from escaping.

"NOW!" Wen Wen shouted.

Fei Yinzi made a turn mid-air, grabbed Wen Wen's hand and threw him upwards. Sun Yan and Su Mi followed as they threw Sun Ri and Cui Xiao, respectively. Everyone watching held their breaths as they watched countless talismans suddenly appeared above Ke Lu and blocked the sky for him before they fully surrounded him, trapping him inside a sphere. Sun Ri flung her whip and it tied Ke Lu who was caught off-guard by Wen Wen's move. Then, Cui Xiao casted a spell and it hit the talismans.

Everyone felt their ears were ringing when continuous explosions were heard after the talismans exploded.

"Ugh!" Wen Wen grunted after he, Sun Ri and Cui Xiao were thrown by the impact. "WAAAAAAH!!!" he screamed as he flailed his limbs in panic. He saw Sun Ri and Cui Xiao were calm and Sun Yan and Su Mi immediately caught them.

"What are you screaming for?" Fei Yinzi asked as he caught Wen Wen mid-air.

Wen Wen immediately clung to his sleeves. "I thought you already left!" he said.

"How could I?!" Fei Yinzi asked as they immediately flew away when the explosion became bigger. "… we won't be killing Ke Lu with that, right?" he asked as they turned back.

"Of course not!" Wen Wen answered. "Although it looked scary, it isn't life threatening! You will just be immobilized though and fall into a coma." He explained. "Though it will definitely peel off the layers of your skin." He added.

Fei Yinzi, Sun Yan and Su Mi. "…" damn. These mages are very scary! They thought as they noted down not to get on the bad side of the mages.

Xiao Bao and xiao Ling didn't leave and they watched with guarded expressions.

…

"Is it over?" the audience anxiously asked as they watched the sphere of talismans stopped burning. The wind blew away the ashes, revealing Sun Ri's whip intact wrapped around a charred figure. "Whoa! He's scary!" they screamed in fright when they saw that Ke Lu's bloodshot eyes are wide open and are glaring hatefully at the participants!

"Bai Tan." Cheng Sheng spoke. Inside the space where the competition is held, Bai Tan moved and swallowed Ke Lu's figure before spitting out Sun Ri's whip, fresh and new.

Xiao Bao and xiao Ling flew towards Bai Tan and then the three left without leaving any words to the participants.

"It's… finally over…!" He Shun sighed in relief.

"Yes." Qian Meng nodded and smiled. He looked at Qian Jue who patted his head. The scourge Ke Lu was finally taken care of.

Xi He felt as if he had forgotten something important. "WU TIE!!!" he shouted and turned, only to see that Wu Tie and Jin Yu were already gone. "Damn it!" he cursed.

"They have left just a minute ago." Cui Xiang spoke and smiled as she kept the money pouch that was obviously from Wu Tie after they made another transaction.

Everyone. "…" damn. The Xinfaxian Sect's mages are very amazing to still even do business at this situation! They thought, feeling very envious.

But, the Shanliangde Sect still has to buy magic pills, potions and talismans from them. Thus, they didn't say anything and just left after their transaction with Xi He still complaining and only shut up after Xi Bing glared at him.

However, before the Shanliangde Sect could walk far, they all heard bells ringing from somewhere. "The bells…" they muttered in a daze before they immediately remembered something. "The first elimination period!" they exclaimed.

"That's right… tomorrow is the fourth day of the third stage and the day after tomorrow is the first elimination period…" Tang Li spoke when he remembered.

"The bells are the notification… are they going to tell us now the point threshold for the first elimination period?" Qian Jue spoke.

As soon as his voice fell, they heard Zheng Yi's voice spoke from somewhere. "Ehem." He cleared his throat. "Everyone, the Righteous Alliance is grateful for your combined efforts to capture participant Ke Lu who is a spy that was sent by the foreign enemies. The evidence was already taken into our custody." He said.

Su Yi blinked and then subconsciously touched the qiankun pouch on his waist. It was there. Feelings suspicious, he opened the qiankun pouch. As expected, Ke Lu's sword wasn't there anymore. "It is really that sword." He said.

Ling Yun sighed with emotion. He remembered Su Yi showed Ke Lu's sword to everyone and Ling Yun identified it as a foreign sword, telling them that a concealment spell was casted upon it.

"As a reward, the Righteous Alliance will give you fifty points for your bravery." Zheng Yi continued.

Everyone felt their Cleansing Stones turned hot and they immediately checked their points.

"For another bonus, the Righteous Alliance will announce half a day in advance the point threshold for the first elimination period." Zheng Yi said.

"'half a day in advance'? So, the announcement is supposed to be at dawn?" Chen Yu said.

"Good." Chen Wu patted his youngest brother's head. Chen Yu has always been smart with numbers and he calculated the time fast.

"Is everyone ready?" Zheng Yi asked.

The participants nervously gulped.

"Then, let us invite elder Cheng Sheng to announce the point threshold for the first elimination period." Zheng Yi spoke.

The participants. "…" is it fun to play with us?! They thought, but didn't dare voice out their complaints since they heard Cheng Sheng's voice spoke.

"Youth of today, the hope of tomorrow." Cheng Sheng said.

Everyone heard it and felt their emotions gushing out of their chest. That's right… these youths will lead them all for a brighter future! These youths have to be dearly nurtured! Just look how they performed earlier defeating Ke Lu!

"The point threshold for the first elimination period is – " Cheng Sheng continued. " – five hundred points." He said.

Everyone was surprised, but also not surprised. Five hundred is neither too high nor too low. The participants were also given fifty points just now as their reward. Although the point threshold is tenfold of the points rewarded to them, the participants have already been farming points beforehand and they will continue after this. It should be easy for them to reach five hundred points.

"Participants, good luck." Cheng Sheng added before his and Zheng Yi's voice disappeared.

"Five hundred points… we can reach it!" Wen Wen, the optimist, said.

"Can I…?" He Shun, the pessimist because he has low confidence, muttered.

Qi Lan patted his back. "I'll help you." He told him.

"Really?!" He Shun's eyes brightened.

Qi Lan nodded.

"But…" He Shun's smile disappeared again. "You have been helping me, ge." He scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

"Just buy me magic pills, potions or talismans in return." Qi Lan said.

"Ah! That's right!" He Shun nodded when he remembered Wu Tie and Jin Yu. But, he doesn't dare to address himself as Qi Lan's 'master'. This is embarrassing.

But, their situation is now settled, or has it already been since the start and it was only He Shun who didn't realize it?

"The Shanliangde Sect is in the lead, now followed by Wu Tie and Jin Yu." Chen Wu spoke as he checked the leaderboard. "Next is the Youxiwang Sect, then the Shanliangde Sect." he said and turned to Fei Yinzi and the others. "The person in the lead is Fei Luo, followed by Xi Bing, Xi He and Fei Huo. Sun Yan and Sun Ri have the same points, and they are followed by Wu Tie and Jin Yu. Then, it's Wu Lian, me, Qi Lan, Tang Li and Li Yan are tied, along with Jing Xu and Jing De. Wen Yan, Zhu Xi and Su Mi, Er Zi are next, then Qian Jue, Qian Meng, Ling Yun, Chen Su, Chen Yu and Su Yi." He said. "The ones are the bottom are He Shun, Wen Wen, Cui Xiao and Cui Xiang." He finished.

Silence fell as each of them planned.

"Wait. I think we forgot some people…" Jing De spoke, breaking the silence.

"If you are talking about the Tuanhui Sect jiejies, regrettably, they also have fallen in that Ke Lu's hands." Jing Xu sighed.

Sect leader Hui Qiu who heard this frowned but she felt relieved. She saw that Ke Lu wanted to humiliate her disciples when he caught them.. But, how can their pride as women be stepped on? They can kill them but they can never humiliate them! Thus, Hui Na, Hui Qu and Hui Lu withdrew from the competition on the spot, especially when they were poisoned by Ke Lu.
