The competition was held in the Xuande Square outside the Imperial City. The huge arena was filled with fighting spirit, and there were a lot of people below the arena. Everyone wanted to see how many noses and eyes the future experts of the Ning Country had.
After five days of auditions, the top ten in the country had been decided. Huangfu Xiu and Shen Yuexi were the only two people from the royal family who would be participating this year. Hence, there were a total of twelve people. The twelve people drew lots to fight. The six contestants who won would continue to draw lots. The contestants who drew five or six would then fight again. The loser would not be selected, and the winner would get the last spot in the Three Kingdom Competition.
Shen Yuexi glanced at the top ten on the stage and found it funny. There were quite a few people from the three great families. The eldest son of the Nangong family, Xuanyuan Wushuang of the Xuanyuan family, and Murong Yuan of the Murong family were among them.
Shen Yuexi felt that he had taken advantage of them. The contestants were already exhausted from the battles during the days of the selection. Naturally, they would not be as energetic as her and Huangfu Xiu during the finals.
"Draw lots. When you draw a number, you will fight one against two, three against four, and so on."
Shen Yuexi went on stage to draw lots, but when he saw Xuanyuan Wushuang's provocative gaze, his heart turned cold. He took out the lot he had drawn and saw that it was lot number four. It was really unlucky.
Huangfu Xiu had appeared behind her at some point."My right Xuanyuan Wushuang?" Huangfu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, I am." Shen Yuexi raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Xuanyuan Wushuang had prepared for this provocation.
"Who are you against?" Shen Yuexi glanced at Huangfu Xiu's lot and immediately beamed.""Oh, Number Two, not bad, not bad. It really suits you!”
"What's wrong with being second? It's better than being dead!”Huangfu Xiu's expression darkened immediately. This ugly girl was clearly pointing at the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree!
"Calm down, calm down. Who is Number One?”
"Lin Yifeng, the one in black.”Huangfu Xiu lifted his chin, and Shen Yuexi saw a young man who looked energetic.
"You know him?"
"I saw it when I was scouting the area. The ultimate move should be a concentrated Dou Qi attack.”Huangfu Xiu frowned.
"Is that so?" Shen Yuexi was stunned. It seemed that the Crown Prince's reputation was not for nothing.
"Yes, I am. Erm…It's nothing. I'm going to prepare for the competition.”Huangfu Xiu muttered to himself and suddenly raised his head and left.
When Shen Yuexi returned that night, he and Imperial Father had asked her about Amethyst Elder King, but she had only said that she was returning the clothes.
Only a fool would believe that Amethyst Elder King had come all the way to the Imperial Palace just to get a piece of clothing. However, she refused to say it. For some reason, Imperial Father actually stood on her side and said that he would not ask anymore! He even said that the less he knew, the better. He was clearly protecting Shen Yuexi!
However, Shen Yuexi had not stepped out of her room ever since she returned. She had been meditating and cultivating meticulously. Although he did not know what she was cultivating, it was strange that she did not even have any fighting spirit. However, it seemed like she had forgotten to eat and sleep. She was indeed working hard to prepare for the competition. Thinking of this, he immediately felt much better.
But why was it comfortable? He was not sure himself. Didn't he want this ugly girl to live a life worse than death? What was wrong with him now? He still wanted to look at this ugly girl from time to time!
No, no, no, he just wanted to see the ugly girl suffer. Yes, he just wanted to see her suffer and make a fool of herself, so he was especially concerned about her situation.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Xiu was suddenly enlightened. He seemed to be full of energy as he strode onto the arena.
"Are you crazy?”Shen Yuexi couldn't help but wave her fist. Suddenly, a cold light flashed behind her. She turned around and saw Xuanyuan Wushuang's resentful eyes. She couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
Xuanyuan Wushuang watched Huangfu Xiu and Shen Yuexi flirt, and she wanted to tear Shen Yuexi apart. She was supposed to enjoy the privilege of being exempted from the royal family's preliminary selection and be intimate with Huangfu Xiu, but everything was ruined by this b * tch!
"The first match is between the Crown Prince and Lin Yifeng. Those with magical beasts can use magical beasts, but hidden weapons are not allowed. Begin!”At the referee's command, Huangfu Xiu and Lin Yifeng were ready to fight.
"I've offended you!" As soon as Lin Yifeng finished speaking, his yellow Dou Qi turned into countless fists and struck toward Huangfu Xiu.
"It is indeed a concentrated attack." Shen Yuexi could not help but smile. Since Huangfu Xiu knew about this move, he must have already come up with a countermeasure.
Huangfu Xiu thrust his palms outward, and a yellow shield wall formed from warrior power appeared.
"Bang bang bang!" The battle energy collided one after another, exploding into dazzling sparks. Everyone could not help but cheer loudly. Seeing that his attack had been blocked, Lin Yifeng released a frog beast that was half the height of a human and spat a mouthful of pus at Huangfu Xiu.
"A magical beast has appeared!"
"This Lin Yifeng doesn't look like a good person either. In the Ning Country, there are only a few people who can afford to use magical beasts other than the Imperial Family and the three great clans.”
"This is a first-grade frog beast, and its entire body is filled with pus and poison. I wonder if the crown prince can dodge this mouthful.”
"Awoo." Suddenly, with a strange cry, a giant gray wolf emerged from Huangfu Xiu's side. With a flash of gray light, the poisonous pus fell to the ground. Zi, zi, zi. A pit was immediately corroded on the stage.
" Grade 2 Giant Wolf!" Everyone exclaimed.
"It looks like it's about to evolve to level 3!”
"As expected, only the royal family can afford such a large sum of money.”Everyone could not help but sigh.
In the Ning Country, even First Grade Magical Beasts were in high demand, not to mention this Giant Wolf Beast that was about to evolve from Second Grade to Third Grade. It was simply a rare opportunity. Moreover, after a Magical Beast signed a contract with its master, it would gain a little intelligence, which would increase the chances of winning in a battle.
While everyone was sighing, the giant wolf had already charged at the frog beast. Huangfu Xiu took the opportunity to turn the tables and charge at Lin Yifeng.
Shen Yuexi narrowed her eyes slightly. As magical beasts below the fourth level did not have spiritual intelligence, it would require a portion of the owner's energy to use them. Moreover, when facing a high-level magical beast like the Golden-Horned Tiger, these low-level magical beasts had an instinctive fear. If the contract was not strict, they might even betray their master and attack him. Therefore, after entering the Magical Beast Forest, these magical beasts had not been called out. She had never seen them before.
Looking at the sparks flying around the arena, Shen Yuexi couldn't help but glance at Tuan Tuan, who was drooling and dozing off on her shoulder. Suddenly, she felt dejected. Look at other people's magical beasts. They were either big and imposing, or covered in bumps. Although they were ugly, they could at least spit poison.
This one of his was the size of a palm and had a cute face. Other than being smart and having swallowed a big move once, it usually ate and slept after eating. It was like a foodie. However, she had checked all the ancient books and could not tell what breed it was.
However, even though she was talking about it, she was still very confident in Tuan Tuan, just based on the time it swallowed the Golden Horned Tiger Beast's ultimate move.
" Ah…" Just as Shen Yuexi was thinking about it, she heard Lin Yifeng's scream. She looked up and saw Lin Yifeng flying away like a parabola.
"Crown Prince Huangfu Xiu wins this match!"
"Good!" The crowd cheered. They felt that the Crown Prince's drastic move was really exciting.
"The second round, Crown Princess Xuanyuan Wushuang versus Shen Yuexi!”The referee shouted.
Shen Yuexi slowly stepped onto the ring and saw Xuanyuan Wushuang leap onto the ring in front of everyone.
"Good skills!"
"The young lady of the Xuanyuan family is beautiful. At such a young age, her skills are also amazing!”
" That's right. At this age, those with orange battle energy will have limitless prospects in the future…"
"D * mn, who is that! How could she be so ugly!”
"Are you deaf? Isn't that the Crown Princess Consort?”
"The Crown Prince looks quite handsome. How can the Crown Princess be so ugly?”
"Keep your voice down. Haven't you heard that the Crown Prince frequents brothels? This marriage is pre-arranged! Shen Yuexi was Xuanyuan Wushuang's sister!”Everyone immediately started gossiping.
"I didn't expect to have to compete with you today.”Xuanyuan Wushuang looked delicate and charming. A gust of wind blew past her, lifting her hair. Her bright red dress made her look indescribably beautiful. Shen Yuexi, who was dressed in a crimson dress, looked even uglier than a demon.
"Cut the crap, just attack." Shen Yuexi was too lazy to argue with Xuanyuan Wushuang. It was obvious that she was the one who messed with the order of the competition.
Xuanyuan Wushuang waved her hand, and a level-two Flamingo appeared. Its fiery red butt rose into the sky, and it was so red that it was dazzling. It cast a contemptuous glance at Shen Yuexi, who was sitting opposite it, and let out a shrill screech. Its ear-piercing voice sounded extremely annoying, but its expression was clearly one of disdain.
"We haven't even competed yet, and you're already being laughed at by your sister's magical beast. You're indeed ugly, even magical beasts don't like you anymore?”It was unknown who whispered this, but everyone burst into laughter.
"Aiya, I forgot that elder sister has lived in the medicinal field since she was young. She didn't have time to capture the demonic beasts and sign the contract. I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have let the Fire Phoenix appear.”Xuanyuan Wushuang looked apologetic.
When everyone heard this, they looked at Shen Yuexi with disdain. The future Crown Princess did not even have a Magical Beast. She was really a laughingstock.
Looking at how ugly she was, it was only because the Crown Prince was unlucky that he had to marry her.
"She doesn't even seem to have any fighting spirit. The reason she can participate in the finals is definitely because of the title of Crown Princess Consort. It was really shameful to use the back door like this!”Some people couldn't help but feel indignant for the people who failed to be selected.
"How can she compete without fighting spirit?”Someone suddenly shouted, and many people immediately echoed.
Shen Yuexi frowned. During the audition, the eldest son of the Murong family was someone that these people could not bear to talk about. Now that the Crown Princess Consort dared to curse in public, and in front of the Emperor, she had quite the guts…
Thinking of this, she raised her head and saw Xuanyuan Wushuang, who was calm and composed, with a smug look on her face. The flamingo named Fire Phoenix was not taken away, and it was looking at her with disdain. She instantly understood whose island the ghost was from.
Xuanyuan Wushuang stroked the flamingo's fur and said,""Big sister doesn't have any magical beasts, so let's just fight alone.”As he spoke, he was about to recall the Fiery Bird.
"Who said I don't have any magical beasts?" Shen Yuexi smiled faintly and took out Tuan Tuan, who was dozing off.
The cold wind blew, and Tuan Tuan was jolted awake from his sleep. He slowly climbed onto Shen Yuexi's shoulder, lowered his head, and went back to sleep.
Speechless, Shen Yuexi pulled it over and placed it on the ring. Thus, everyone saw a palm-sized snowball dozing off on the stage with its head lowered…
" What is this? Is this a magical beast?"
"Are you kidding me? This is a pet white raccoon, right?"”
"Yeah, I think so too. Is this a bluff?!"
Everyone was in an uproar. Huangfu Xiu's face was filled with black lines. Usually, Tuan Tuan would either eat or sleep. Sometimes, he even had to be fed by Shen Yuexi. He was like an unweaned baby.
He thought that Shen Yuexi was too kind and had raised a mutated white raccoon for fun. It seemed that she was raising Tuan Tuan like a magical beast. Wasn't she obviously sending Tuan Tuan to his death?
"Sister, it doesn't matter if there's no magical beast. Don't harm this mutated white raccoon. It's so small that the Fire Phoenix will turn it into a red braised meat when it opens its mouth. Don't harm this pet just because you're afraid of making a fool of yourself.”Xuanyuan Wushuang immediately smiled.
" Hehehe…" The phoenix raised her tail and screamed again. Anyone could hear the contempt and mockery in her voice.
Tuan Tuan was jolted awake by this cry. He raised his little head and looked at the Fire Phoenix with its tail up. His eyes, which were still wide open, suddenly started to roll around. Then, he burst into intense passion, and all his sleepiness was swept away.
The Fire Phoenix was about to mock him again, but when it saw Tuan Tuan's eyes, it stopped abruptly. Why were the black beans 'eyes filled with ill intentions and passion? It made it subconsciously feel a chill in its heart.
Shen Yuexi was stunned. In the time it took for him to be stunned, Tuan Tuan had already pounced towards the fire phoenix like a sharp sword.
"Let the competition begin!" The referee made a prompt decision.
Just as he finished speaking, Tuan Tuan had already jumped onto the Fire Phoenix's back.
Everyone was shocked. None of their thousands of pairs of eyes saw how Tuan Tuan climbed onto the Fire Phoenix's back.
It must be because the little fellow was too small. That's right, it's normal that he didn't see a pet beast the size of a palm!
Everyone immediately felt that it was indeed so. It must have been too small and they couldn't see clearly.
" Gu, gu, gu…" The Fire Phoenix suddenly cried out loudly. It ran wildly on the stage, spewing out flames from its mouth. Its body twisted strangely, trying to shake off Tuan Tuan and burn it alive.
" Fire phoenix, fire phoenix..." Xuanyuan Wushuang shouted and tried to pull the fire phoenix back, but she was shocked to see the fiery red feathers flying in the sky. Tuan Tuan, who was the size of a palm, was jumping around on the Fire Phoenix's body. His little claws were bright red, and they were covered in the Fire Phoenix's fur.
Tuan Tuan didn't care about the Fire Phoenix's devilish movements and the flames that were spewing everywhere. He sat steadily on its body and grabbed a large patch of feathers with his claws. Gu, gu, gu. The Fire Phoenix cried out in pain. Tuan Tuan grinned wickedly, and his claws swept across the Fire Phoenix's feathers at lightning speed.
I'll let you scream, I'll let you show off, I'll let you disturb my sleep, I'll pluck you bald chicken!
"It, it's plucking its fur!" After being in a daze for a long time, someone finally woke up and called out.
A pet beast without a grade to pluck the feathers of a Level 2 Flamingo! However, this Level 2 Flamingo was unable to shake it off! If they didn't see it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death!
Shen Yuexi held her forehead slightly. As the host, she could clearly feel how angry Tuan Tuan was when he woke up! It could make the lazy dog become so diligent! Although it was just plucking its fur, thinking about how it usually wished that someone would feed it when it ate, one could understand how angry it was when it exercised so intensely.
"Fire Phoenix!" Xuanyuan Wushuang cried out in pain. She had paid a huge price to catch this level-two flamingo. Xuanyuan Wushuang's heart ached. She immediately brought her battle energy and was about to kill Tuan Tuan.
A hand suddenly grabbed her wrist. She looked up angrily and met Shen Yuexi's clear eyes."Your opponent is me!" As Shen Yuexi spoke, he struck Xuanyuan Wushuang's shoulder.
Xuanyuan Wushuang retreated quickly. Yellow light surged from both of her palms, and they stabbed toward Shen Yuexi's chest like wind blades.
"What a ruthless move!" Shen Yuexi sneered. His footsteps seemed to be messy, but they seemed to contain a certain rhythm. In the blink of an eye, he had already dodged the wind blades.
Xuanyuan Wushuang wasn't surprised. She had seen Shen Yuexi's strength in the Magical Beast Forest, so she knew that what she learned was a little strange. A vicious glint flashed across her eyes. An orange glow immediately transformed into a sharp sword. She gripped it tightly and charged at Shen Yuexi with the sword in hand.
Shen Yuexi frowned and dodged the attack. The Warrior Power Sword Flower was the most common move of the Xuanyuan family. Why would Xuanyuan Wushuang use it against her? She had learned this move when she was five years old.
While she was thinking, she suddenly saw a flaw in Xuanyuan Wushuang's sword. She immediately raised her palm and was about to hit the center of Xuanyuan Wushuang's chest. Suddenly, Xuanyuan Wushuang's long sword disappeared.
Shen Yuexi frowned. In an instant, she felt a chill on her back. A short dagger made of Combat Energy appeared behind her. She was shocked and immediately bent over to roll on the ground. The dagger grazed her back and tore her clothes.
Just as she was about to get up, Xuanyuan Wushuang had already approached her, trying to catch her off guard.
"Go to hell, b * tch!" Xuanyuan Wushuang shouted in a low voice. A silver longsword appeared in her hand, and she stabbed Shen Yuexi's chest.
This series of actions was done in one go. It was so fast that everyone could not believe it. They felt that Shen Yuexi was definitely going to die.
"Ah!" Everyone was shocked and subconsciously covered their eyes. They did not dare to watch this scene of sisters killing each other.
"Referee, stop!" Huangfu Xiu was furious. He was about to go up the stage, but Huangfu Tian stopped him.
"Father!" Huangfu Xiu panicked.
"What are you so anxious about?" Huangfu Tian looked at his son with interest.
" I-I just don't want blood to splash on the ring…" Huangfu Xiu shouted, but his eyes never left the ring.
"Silly son, you've been with that girl Shen Yuexi for so long. Can't you see any clues?”Huangfu Xiu smiled faintly.
Huangfu Xiu was taken aback. That's right. Shen Yuexi, this ugly girl, was never one to suffer a loss!
As expected, Shen Yuexi, who was about to be pierced, suddenly disappeared with a bang.
" Clang…" The long sword stabbed into the arena, only leaving the hilt.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This arena was made of solid wood, and the sword had been stabbed so deeply. If it was a real person, I would have died. How much hatred and resentment did this have?
Xuanyuan Wushuang's sword missed. She felt something was wrong and immediately turned around. A short sword was already firmly placed on her neck. If she acted rashly, blood would be splattered on the spot!
"I'm not convinced. How can you dodge?”Xuanyuan Wushuang glared at Shen Yuexi.
"I'll give him a taste of his own medicine.”Shen Yuexi slightly tightened his grip on the short sword in his hand, and Xuanyuan Wushuang immediately shrank back.
"You used a basic sword move to deliberately expose a flaw to me, distracting me and secretly activating my battle energy. However, the real killing move was that direct sword move!”Shen Yuexi looked at her calmly. Xuanyuan Wushuang's actions had been deliberate. Who would have thought that the first two moves would be Xu Huang, and the last move would be the simplest and most effective killing move?
If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely fall for it. However, Shen Yuexi had lived in the Xuanyuan family for so many years. She knew Xuanyuan Wushuang too well. How could an arrogant and willful person attack her with the most ordinary move, let alone a move that she knew.
She knew that Xuanyuan Wushuang was plotting something, so she decided to play along. Xuanyuan Wushuang only knew that she was fast, but she didn't know that a few days ago, she had focused on studying the Shifting Smoke Steps in the inheritance, and her speed had increased by another level. She could even create afterimages in an instant. Just now, Xuanyuan Wushuang was too focused on killing her. When she rolled on the ground to avoid the dagger, the real person had already left her attack range, leaving behind a shadow. So, what Xuanyuan Wushuang stabbed was just a shadow.
"The competition has ended. Crown Princess Consort Shen Yuexi has won!”The referee suddenly spoke.
Shen Yuexi slowly withdrew his dagger and called Tuan Tuan back.
Meanwhile, the Fire Phoenix had long been tortured by Tuan Tuan until it was sprawled on the ground. All the fur on its body had fallen off, revealing its flesh-colored skin that was like chicken skin, causing everyone to laugh out loud.
"Go to hell!" Xuanyuan Wushuang suddenly swung her hand viciously, and a stream of warrior power shot toward Shen Yuexi's back. Shen Yuexi suddenly twisted his body strangely, and the stream of warrior power shot out and drilled through a big tree on the edge of the ring.
"Sneak attack!" Everyone exclaimed.
"Tsk tsk, I had forgotten about it, but this move of yours has reminded me. Sister Wushuang, you still owe me three kowtows.”Shen Yuexi carried Tuan Tuan and slowly turned her head around. She grinned at the bossy Xuanyuan Wushuang, as if she had known this would happen.
"Three kowtows? Kowtow?"
"Why?" Everyone's attention was immediately attracted.
Xuanyuan Wushuang was stunned. Seeing everyone's eager eyes, her scalp went numb. She thought of what happened in the Magical Beast Forest and subconsciously took a step back."What nonsense are you spouting!"
"Nonsense? Have you forgotten what you promised in front of the Crown Prince and the Whirlwind Mercenary Group?”Shen Yuexi caressed Tuan Tuan's fur and looked at her with a smile.
"There's no such thing!" Xuanyuan Wushuang shook her head. She would never admit it.
"Your Highness, you were also present at that time. Do you think this matter is true?”Shen Yuexi suddenly raised his head and looked at Huangfu Xiu in the distance. Back then, Huangfu Xiu had refused to give her the Beast Core. Let's see if he still dared to refuse this time!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoo Xuanyuan Wushuang also looked at Huangfu Xiu eagerly and shook her head so hard that she wanted to break her neck.
Huangfu Xiu's face darkened. Logically speaking, he didn't get along with this ugly woman, so he would definitely help Xuanyuan Wushuang. However, Xuanyuan Wushuang was too vicious. Did this ugly girl pull him out because she felt that he was in the wrong regarding the beast core engagement?
Hmph, he was not in the wrong. He was just telling the truth. He glanced at Xuanyuan Wushuang." Yes, it's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Wu Guang of the Whirlwind Mercenary Group to confront me."”
"It's actually true?"
"How can the eldest daughter of the Xuanyuan family be so shameless?”
"That's right. You killed my sister and went back on your word. What did the Xuanyuan family teach you?”Everyone was in an uproar.
"The witnesses are here. You can kowtow now.”Shen Yuexi looked at Xuanyuan Wushuang coldly.
Xuanyuan Wushuang wanted to deny it, but she saw Huangfu Tian's cold and serious eyes. She could throw a tantrum and roll around in front of everyone to deny it, but with the current emperor, if she still did not know her place, it was probably not her own business. She remembered how her father had been humiliated in the main hall and how he had been cleaned up by the elders of the family after he returned home.
She gritted her teeth and fell to her knees. The moment she knelt down, she seemed to see countless pairs of mocking eyes, countless mouths, and unpleasant words mocking her. It was as if her face was pressed to the ground and trampled on.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
