The Imperial Palace Arena looked like the Colosseum of ancient Rome. It was circular and surrounded by spectator seats. There was only a square ring in the middle. The ring was 50 meters long and wide and was made of marble. It could be said that the connection between the stones was almost seamless. Even a thin piece of paper couldn't be stuffed in. It was flat and smooth, like a mirror.
At this moment, Xiao Luo, Ghost, and the Duck Emperor were in the middle of the arena. There were more than 5,000 seats around them, and all of them were citizens of the Baiyue Nation. There were no empty seats. Funing and the Grand Master were high up in the stands, looking down at the crowd.
In front of Xiao Luo was a pot of oil. There was a fire burning under the pot. The oil in the pot was boiling, and white smoke was billowing out. It was a daunting sight.
"What's the first challenge? Tell me quickly. Don't waste time. We still have to go! "Ghost was eager to try. She was very interested in the challenge.
The Duck Emperor shook his head and sighed. "Little girl, I'm really worried about your IQ. I don't even need to think to know that it has something to do with this pot of oil."
Put it in the pot of oil!
Xiao Luo gave the answer in her heart. Indeed, she did not need to think to know what the first challenge was.
The Duck Emperor continued to explain to Ghost. He said seriously and confidently, "Do you see this pot of oil? The oil in it is boiling. The first challenge must be about deep-frying. You have to throw in the game and fry it. Then, you have to eat it as fast as you can. It's a competition of who can eat more and who can eat faster."
Xiao Luo almost collapsed to the ground when she heard that.
"Oh, so it's a competition of eating. I won't lose. I'm the best at eating." Ghost held a little red umbrella, and her almond-shaped eyes were shining.
THUMP!
Xiao Luo flicked the Duck Emperor's head without holding back. He rolled his eyes and said, "You said you were worried about Ghost's intelligence. You can't be that smart. Don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything. Don't lead Ghost on."
"Goddamned brat, why are you hitting my head? Do you know that you're messing up my hairstyle? Am I wrong? Aren't we competing to see who can eat more and who can eat faster?" The Duck Emperor glared at him angrily.
Who could eat faster and eat more?
Xiao Luo was both angry and amused. He gave the Duck Emperor another knock on the head and said, "Why are you so careless?"
"You can kill me, but you can't humiliate me. Goddamn brat, don't knock my head again. If you don't believe me, why don't we have a bet?" The Duck Emperor was also a duck with a temper. He was always bullied by Xiao Luo. It was time for him to retaliate.
"Bet my ass!"
Xiao Luo said angrily. "If we're really competing to see who can eat more and who can eat faster, then I'll pluck your feathers and throw them into a pot of oil and fry them. You can kill me, but you can't humiliate me. If I don't beat you up for a few days, you're going to go overboard, aren't you?"
The Duck Emperor didn't dare to argue with Xiao Luo anymore. It quietly shrank back into Ghost's pocket. Then, it said softly, "You're my big brother, okay?"
Ghost couldn't help but laugh when she saw the Duck Emperor admitting defeat.
High up in the stands, Master Teacher snorted and said, "You don't know that you're about to die. How stupid!"
"Don't keep us in suspense. What is the first stage? Tell me clearly," Xiao Luo raised his head and said calmly.
Master Teacher's eyes were filled with murderous intent. How dare a man speak to her in such a disrespectful manner? She was furious, but she held it in. She said in a low voice, "As you can see, in front of you is a pot of boiling oil. For the first stage, one of you has to jump in. If you can stay in there for the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn and not die, then you've passed."
Hiss …
Upon hearing this, the people of the Baiyue Nation around them all gasped. They thought to themselves that the Grand Master had no intention of letting this man live. Jumping into a pot of boiling oil, he was fried alive and turned into dried meat. Moreover, he died in such a horrible way.
"Into the pot of oil? Motherf * cker, do you have to go this far? "The Duck Emperor was so scared that he swallowed his saliva.
"Master Teacher's mother …"
"Funing, I've already said that I've made a concession. This is my greatest sincerity."
Funing wanted to say something, but Master Teacher waved her hand and interrupted her. Her words were forceful.
Master Teacher continued to say to Xiao Luo and Ghost, "After jumping into the pot of oil, you're not allowed to use your True Inner Force. If I detect any fluctuation of True Inner Force, then you've lost this stage."
"That won't do. What's the difference between this and killing them?"
Fu Ning could no longer sit still and shouted loudly. She could not use her True Inner Force. Even if she could use her True Inner Force, staying in the boiling oil for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense would be fatal. Even a Martial Emperor would not be able to withstand it for long.
"Of course there's a difference. If they're in the pot of oil, at least they'll have a chance to live. If I kill them, they won't have a chance to survive," Master Teacher quibbled.
She was an experienced person. She thought that Funing, a small fry, would be no match for her. Besides, if she killed this man, Funing's Love Poison would be removed. Not only would she uphold the law, but she would also protect Funing. It was killing two birds with one stone.
"Don't you think your request is a little too much?"
Xiao Luo frowned, and his eyes turned cold. He wanted both sides to live in peace and bid each other a peaceful farewell. However, the State Preceptor didn't seem to think that way. No wonder he turned his back on Xiao Luo.
"Too much?"
Master Teacher sneered, "If you want to live, you have to pass the three stages. This is the law. You have no other choice."
"Goddamn brat, don't bother with this demonic woman. Just f * cking kill her!"
Duck Emperor was furious. They couldn't use their True Inner Force? Wasn't that bullshit? Even a Martial Saint would die if they jumped into the pot of oil.
"I can give it a try," Ghost curled her lips and said.
Duck Emperor was shocked when he heard that. He flew out and touched her forehead, "You don't have a fever. Little girl, why are you talking nonsense?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. She said we can't use our True Inner Force. But the power system of the Sucking Blood Clan is different. We use our 'spirit' as our foundation. My 'spirit' is of the Yin attribute. Even the lava from the volcano in the Dark Forest can't do anything to me. This pot of oil is much worse than that," Ghost said.
Uh …
Duck Emperor was stunned.
Xiao Luo asked worriedly, "Can you really do it?"
"Don't worry, Handsome Luoluo. Although I'm not very reliable, I can guarantee it."
Ghost nodded. "But I have a request."
"What request?" Xiao Luo frowned.
Ghost's pretty face had a lively and lovely smile. She walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "When I come out of the frying pan, don't call my name anymore."
"Then what should I call you?"
"Ling 'er!"
"Ling 'er?"
