"Boss, you're alright?" Han Xiaopo rubbed his hands together excitedly, but then felt like he'd said something stupid. Lin Yi was definitely fine, or else how could he have broken through? The hidden house of Han hadn't been around for a long time, but Han Xiaopo was still a disciple of a hidden house. He'd never heard of anyone breaking through with an injury before. Most people would only break through after they'd recovered.
"I'm fine." Lin Yi nodded. "This Wo Jindao's Beast Man Fusion is very powerful. I have to admit, the Gan Mountain School has some tricks up their sleeves."
"Yeah, but Boss is more skilled than me. I was scared out of my wits on the stage. I didn't know what to do," Han Xiaopo said guiltily. "Not only can I not help Boss, but I'm also a burden." "That's right.
"It's not your fault. You've just broken through to Earth class, and you can't even use your skills, much less fight your opponent." Lin Yi waved his hand. He didn't blame Han Xiaopo. He still remembered when he'd first broken through to Earth class, and how powerless he'd felt when he'd fought Blue Hair for the first time.
"Boss, let's go back for lunch. There's the last extra match in the afternoon, and it's the highlight of every hidden house summit …" Han Xiaopo said.
"Extra match? What kind of competition is this? Haven't you heard anything about it?" Lin Yi nodded.
"No." Han Xiaopo shook his head helplessly. "We've tried our best to find out, but the Hidden House Han is isolated from the rest of the hidden houses. I'm afraid the other hidden houses and sects have already found out about the competition, but we haven't heard anything."
"Whatever, we'll take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, we'll just forfeit." Lin Yi said. "Two bets … we can afford to lose."
"That's true!" Han Xiaopo said, "This last match was already thrilling enough. These bets weren't really worth it … Oh right, when Boss was breaking through just now, Tang Yu from the Hidden Tang Family came over. He said he wanted to protect Boss … But he didn't do anything, so I don't know what he meant …
"Yes, I know." Lin Yi was a little confused about Tang Yuyu's strange behavior, but he couldn't figure out what Tang Yuyu's goal was. In this hidden house summit, Tang Yuyu seemed to be very friendly. But he couldn't figure out why, so he decided not to think about it.
Together with Han Xiaopo and Han Tianba, they returned to their temporary residence. After having lunch and resting for a while, a disciple of the hidden Zhao family came to the courtyard and shouted, "Is the hidden Han family's Patriarch Han here? The last round of the Hidden House Summit is about to begin. The contents of the competition will be kept a secret for now. Family Head Han, please bring the participating disciples and the two wagers to the conference hall … "
"Okay, I'll go now!" Han Tianba nodded, but in his heart, he did not agree. Keep it a secret for now? Other than keeping it a secret from the hidden Han Family, the contents of the competition were probably no secret to the other families, right?
But Han Tianba had no choice but to lower his head. He could only keep a low profile and go with Lin Yi and Han Xiaopo to the hidden Zhao family's conference hall!
In the conference hall, the elders of the other families and sects were all present. After Han Tianba registered the wagers and Lin Yi's name, he sat in his seat. What surprised him was that other than Elder Zhao, there was also the Gan Mountain Faction's Patriarch Wo!
"The last round of the Hidden House Summit will be jointly organized by our host, the hidden Zhao family, and the Gan Mountain Faction!" Old Master Zhao said, "Here, I would like to thank the Qian Mountain Sect for their contribution to this competition. They took out one of the Qian Mountain Sect's guardian spirit beasts, the ancient spirit beast, the Wind Thunder Purple Lightning Beast, as the spirit beast for this competition! So, in order to thank the Gan Mountain Faction for their contribution, we have decided that with the hidden Zhao family as the leader, all the hidden houses will take out one item to compensate the Gan Mountain Faction. This is purely compensation, it cannot be won back! "
This decision was made by Elder Zhao and the other elders. Originally, it was agreed that only the hidden House Zhao, House Yu, and a few other noble houses would take out one treasure each, but the hidden House Han kept winning, which made Elder Zhao very unhappy. So, he wanted to drag him down with him and cheat him of some benefits!
This was equivalent to the Gan Mountain Faction's Patriarch Wo using the hidden House Han's benefits to get rid of Lin Yi. It sounded like a huge joke, but it was the truth! No one objected to this kind of scheme to cheat the hidden House Han, since they didn't really need to take out any wagers. It was just a pretense, and the ones taking out the wagers were the hidden House Zhao and a few others!
They were just cooperating, so why not? They could even give the Gan Mountain Faction some face. No one would say anything about this kind of favor.
However, Han Tianba frowned. Wasn't this obviously extortion? Although the hidden House Han didn't lack such a wager, they didn't have such a rule. So, Han Tianba asked calmly, "Elder Zhao, in the past hidden house summits, there has never been such a compensation, right? If the Gan Mountain Faction feels that it's not worth it, then they can cancel the additional test. There's no need to put all the rewards on us, right? This way, those of us who haven't even participated in the competition have already lost a portion of the wager. Even if we participate, we might not win. That's the same as losing three portions of the wager. Who calculates things like this? "
"This is the collective decision of the hidden house summit!" Elder Zhao said calmly, "The Gan Mountain Faction contributed an ancient spirit beast with the bloodline of a mythical beast for our hidden house conference. Isn't this righteous act worthy of our respect? It's just a wager, just to show our sincerity! "
"How is this contribution? After the competition, the spirit beast will still be returned to the Gan Mountain Faction, right? "Han Xiaopo also felt that this rule was a bit of a scam.
"Although that's the case, what if something happens to the spirit beast during the competition? What if it dies or gets injured? Wouldn't the Gan Mountain Faction be responsible for it? " The Gan Mountain Faction's Gate Leader Wo naturally wasn't willing to lose out. Since he had already taken the wager, there was no reason for him to give up. He had to make the hidden House Han take out something.
"Oh, that means that as long as we hand over a portion of the wager, if anything happens to the spirit beast, the Gan Mountain Faction will be responsible for it. It won't have anything to do with the participating families, right?" Lin Yi's heart jumped as he looked at Gate Leader Wo and asked.
