Chapter 323: Demoness: A Genius Only Sees My Threshold!
“I must kill that damned Demonic Race!”
Zhong Ningxue said through gritted teeth, bursting with unparalleled determination.
Hearing this, Zhou Tong glanced at Zhong Man again and discovered that the latter’s physical strength harbored immense energy, even far surpassing Zhong Ningxue at this moment.
Nonetheless, he closed his eyes to contemplate for a moment, then made a decision.
“Come here.”
Zhou Tong waved his hand, and an imperial official quickly approached.
“What does the Guest Senior require?”
“Arrange for the final battle between the Li Family and the Zhong Family.”
Upon hearing this, the imperial official not only showed no signs of difficulty but instead directly burst into joy.
“Leave this to me, you can rest assured that I will handle it perfectly!”
After saying this, he ran off as if afraid Zhou Tong might change his mind.
Zhou Tong felt somewhat bewildered but didn’t dwell on it; this was the advantage of being the organizer—having money meant you could do as you pleased!
The official ran while using a jade amulet to report to someone.
“Your Majesty the Empress… good news… tremendous good news…”
“What good news!”
In less than the blink of an eye, an enchanting voice came from the other side.
“The Guest Senior has instructed us to take action!”
“Really?” The Empress’s voice was filled with surprise and joy.
“It’s absolutely true, just now, the Guest Senior directly designated the final match’s participants. Doesn’t that count as exercising the powers of a Guest Senior?”
“Of course that counts!”
The Empress’s voice could barely contain her delight. Although this matter seemed undistinguished, it at least indicated one point.
That Zhou Tong did not reject the identity of Guest Senior, and was even enjoying it.
This was enough; at least the first step was steadied.
In fact, from the beginning of the event, the Empress had started to probe.
She had repeatedly shown excessive favoritism towards Li Mu and others, subtly testing Zhou Tong’s attitude.
Fortunately, Zhou Tong had not shown any aversion or rejection; instead, he accepted it gladly.
Otherwise, the Empress would have felt saddened, as it would signify a clear delineation.
“Make sure to execute this splendidly, regard the Guest Senior’s words as my words. There will be rewards for doing well and severe punishments for failure. Do you understand?!”
“I understand, Your Majesty. For you and the Guest Senior, I would risk my life without hesitation.”
In an instant, the official stood at attention and saluted, filled with a sense of pride for his country and people.
What he was controlling was not just a competition, but the rise and fall of the empire!
On the arena, looking at the lifeless bodies, even the officiating official was stunned for a long time.
“What’s wrong? Why haven’t the results been announced?”
Zhong Man smirked, pulling him back to reality.
“I announce that the second battle of the first round ends with the complete annihilation of the Lin Family brothers. Zhong Man wins, and the Lin Family is entirely eliminated!”
“Next is the final battle of the first round, the Bai Family against the You Family. Please have the contestants from both sides take the stage!”
“It’s my turn!”
The Little Demoness loosened her black robe and stepped onto the arena!
“Wow, so beautiful!”
She stunned countless people present as soon as she appeared, making them fall into admiration!
“Is this the Virgin Saint of the Celestial Master Clan? I’ve seen her once before; I didn’t expect her to be even more beautiful now.”
“I want to marry her!”
“Dream on! You think this is a novel? Such a beauty must already be a prized possession!”
“That’s right, I am that master!”
On the spectator stand of the Li Family in the Central Continent, Li Xiang said smugly. Ever since learning of the Divine Calculator’s prophecy, he had regarded the Little Demoness as his for the taking, feeling that everything was under his control.
But immediately, he suddenly froze, perceiving a blind spot.
How did the Little Demoness come up to the arena from that position?
She was wearing a black robe earlier; could it be she was mixing with that group of waste all along?
“Those damned things dared to get so close to my fiancée. They truly deserve to die! After the assessment, you all will pay the price!”
Li Xiang’s mind had clearly become deranged, mistaking fantasy for reality.
“Sister Saint, please be merciful!”
The Little Demoness’s opponent was the two eldest young ladies of the Bai Family. After her consent, both were allowed to take the stage simultaneously.
The two young ladies of the Bai Family smiled lightly, as they were undoubtedly the least pressured team.
Just moments ago, the Bai Family head had received a clear indication from the imperial official: as long as the Bai Family conceded in this round, the empire’s investment in them would increase by thirty percent starting this year!
This was basically a windfall; who wouldn’t want it? Only a fool would refuse!
“Little sister, let’s act a bit more naturally later. Don’t be too extravagant, lest we raise the Saint’s suspicions.”
The Bai Eldest Young Lady transmitted to her second sister.
“Don’t worry, we both are at the First Level Half-Sage, while the Saint is at the Peak Cycle Realm. We have the advantage in realm; she won’t be able to see through our act.”
“You make a good point!”
The two sisters discussed it well, but once they exchanged blows, they realized things were completely different from what they had imagined!
Though young, they had cultivated to such a level, undoubtedly absolute geniuses.
However, they couldn’t deny that even in the eyes of a genius, there still existed monsters that could be called geniuses.
For such monsters, the so-called realm suppression was akin to a layer of paper—fragile and laughable. As long as they wished, they could easily break through at any time!
Without a doubt, the current Virgin Saint of the Celestial Master Clan was such an existence.
For a Peak Cycle Realm against a First Level Half-Sage, it was like playing; even the opponent had not used any talismans, just basic ultimate martial skills, pushing them back consistently!
Looking at it this way, they actually didn’t need to act.
Realizing this, the two young ladies of the Bai Family instantly felt somewhat disheartened.
In this case, wouldn’t the empire’s benefits become outright charity? That thirty percent investment sounded appealing, yet why did it feel a bit awkward?
Down below, Zhou Tong observed the battle clearly, his face showing unmistakable delight.
“During this reunion, Yue’er’s talents, strength, qualifications, and comprehension have undergone explosive growth; she is completely different from when we parted!”
The reason for this was simple: initially, the Little Demoness was being trained as a material and naturally had her talent suppressed.
Now that this constraint was lifted, and having obtained the bloodline inheritance of the Celestial Master Clan, it was no surprise she had undergone such a transformation!
Of course, the most important factor was that the Little Demoness had fully mastered the Ignorant Seal Talisman’s authority. As soon as someone cultivated this ultimate skill, she would gain merit.
And merit was an energy far superior to belief, thus her Cycle Realm strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, which explained the current scene!
“Sister, I want to take this more seriously!”
The Bai Eldest Young Lady suddenly said, as if ignited with a fighting spirit!
“I feel the same way!”
The two were in sync, their gazes resolutely fixed on the Little Demoness.
“Sister Saint, let’s decide the winner with one attack!”
