Tian Du City.
At the central venue.
With the passing of lights and shadows, the Battle of Two Stars officially began. Everyone's gaze landed on the representatives of the various associations.
Especially —
Sword Card Master Association.
However …
When they glanced over, they gasped a breath of cold air.
This time …
The Sword Card Master Association had sent an elder who was even older than Yu Yunjie. The wrinkles on his face resembled an avocado that had grown wildly.
It was filled with the marks of time.
This …
All the associations' faces darkened. Another Grandmaster?!
"To hell with it!"
"Are all the participants from the Sword Card Master Association old?"
"Who is this?"
"I don't know. I couldn't find any information about him. Among all the cultivators that the Sword Card Master Association knows of, there is no information about this person!"
Everyone was shocked.
Who was this person?
A newcomer?
This did not seem like it …
Did he change vocations?
Instinctively, they looked toward Lu Ming.
However …
Lu Ming merely smiled faintly, revealing his handsome looks. It was hard to read him.
The various associations felt even more pained.
"This person …"
"Be careful."
"I suspect that he is the grandmaster from the Cold Mountain Villa incident …"
"Is he crazy? A grandmaster changing vocation to Two Stars? "
"After all … they owe Lu Ming their lives. There are so many grandmasters. There must be a few who are willing to repay him."
"That's true."
Everyone sighed.
The Sword Card Master Association …
They had really put in a lot of effort in order to fight for the top ten in glory! That was right. The advantage of the Sword Card Master Association was that they had a lower star level. Therefore, there was no need to clash with them.
Hence …
The various associations knew what was going on.
At this very moment …
In the small world.
The thirteen and fourteen-year-old contestants looked at the old man in shock.
He was another grandpa!
Of course.
This was not the point.
The point was that they had watched the first match and they had seen how terrifying the combat ability of the younger old man was!
Therefore …
This person …
Could he be another grandmaster?!
"That is possible.
"My master said that the Sword Card Master Association will resort to unscrupulous means in low-level areas. Try not to provoke them."
The contestants looked at each other.
Looking at the old man sitting calmly under the tree as usual, the contestants looked at each other. In the end, they chose to ignore the old man.
There was no other way.
If they fought …
What if it was another Grandmaster?
Alliance?
There was no such thing.
Have you forgotten the terrifying strength of that old man during the battle with One Star?
And this …
It might be even more terrifying!
Therefore …
The battle broke out again, and the scene from the first time was restored.
The old man was watching as the contestants fought with each other. This time, the Sharpshooter Association, the Card Creators Association, and the Swordsman Association were fighting with all their might.
Batch after batch of contestants were eliminated.
In the end.
The Sharpshooter Association had won.
Yes.
Even the audience did not expect this.
That young lad from the Sharpshooter Association had actually destroyed the Card Creators Association, the Swordsman, the Energy Warriors, and finally fought his way out of the siege.
Furthermore —
Almost no injuries!
"Another super genius!"
"The Sharpshooter Association actually has such a reserve."
"Quite ambitious."
"Isn't that so."
Everyone was amazed.
This was indeed a global competition!
Look, besides the young lady from the Swordsman Association, there was also a Two Star super genius from the Sharpshooter Association. He was very powerful.
At this moment …
Everyone was looking forward to it.
That young genius from the Sharpshooter Association walked toward the old man from the Sword Card Master Association with a grave expression.
Finally …
At this stage …
He had a feeling that he had killed some small monsters and was about to fight a BOSS.
"Old grandpa."
The young genius said respectfully.
"Hello."
The old man smiled faintly.
"I'm going to strike."
The young genius looked grave.
"Come on."
The old man was as calm as ever.
He was very calm.
Everyone's gaze was solemn.
True enough.
They knew that the characters from the Sword Card Master Association were not simple. Yu Yunjie was a Grandmaster One Star. Right now, it was very likely that there was another Grandmaster …
Hence …
The young genius bent his bow and shot an arrow.
Swoosh!
Cold lights flashed.
The arrow pierced through the old man's chest.
Even so …
The old man was still calm.
True enough …
The young genius was on his guard. The old grandpa was very calm. It seemed that he was as powerful as the grandfather of the One Star …
However …
At this moment.
The sharp arrow flashed.
Bang!
There was a hole in the old man's chest. With a smile on his face, he disappeared into the sky along with his voice.
Death.
Shush!
The Sword Card Master Association was eliminated!
Ah???
The young genius looked bewildered.
The audience was speechless.
Wait a minute.
What happened just now?
To hell with it!
After confirming the results, the small world was closed and the young genius was sent back. Everyone then saw some replays captured by the cameras.
Well …
The arrow shot by the young genius pierced through the old man on the spot.
Afterward …
He died.
Afterward …
There was no afterward.
The old man failed and was ranked second.
The young genius Sharpshooter won and was ranked first.
？？？
Everyone was in a trance.
Just like that …
Just like that?!
W-why did it feel different from what they had imagined?!
At this very moment …
At the Swordsman Association.
The disciple who went to investigate the old man's identity had returned. He hurriedly said, "President, I've checked. That old man is not a mysterious and powerful figure. He is the gatekeeper of the Sword Card Master Association. His surname is Qin and he is only a Two Star cultivator. He is very ordinary.
The Swordsman Association was speechless.
They were deep in their thoughts as they looked at the third place of their association …
They …
They actually lost to the gatekeeper, Uncle Qin?!
Damn!
？？？
Everyone was stunned.
Instinctively …
Someone looked toward the Sword Card Master Association. Lu Ming merely smiled faintly, hiding his achievements and fame.
Look.
It was very simple, wasn't it?
After a long time …
The overall ranking was announced again.
The Sword Card Master Association was still far ahead and ranked first.
The Swordsman Association was second and third place respectively.
The Sharpshooter Association was third and sixth place respectively. They could only be ranked third.
…
Shush!
Everyone was speechless when the results were announced.
This competition …
Why was it different from what they had imagined?
It was a competition of such a scale, with such a huge amount of funds and such strict rules. Shouldn't it be a hot-blooded and exciting battle?
Why …
Was it a pain in the ass?
Hence …
Everyone's gaze landed on the Sword Card Master Association.
Who else could it be?
? Of course!
They were the culprit!
Damn Lu Ming!
…
Hence …
The associations protested.
They could not play this way!
This was too much!
It was supposed to be a hot-blooded battle but they played it as if it was a round-robin game … They were competing with their abilities and they were playing the art of war with them? Wasn't this too much?!
Of course.
The organizer rejected it directly.
"This is too unfair."
The various associations were furious.
"It's very fair."
The organizer said leisurely, "You have to know that the rules of the Glory Grand Ceremony are comprehensive."
"So?"
The various associations were puzzled.
"So …"
The organizer paused for a moment. "The president's IQ is also part of the assessment."
The various associations were speechless.
…
They went back very soon.
There was no choice.
If they continued to argue, it would mean that their IQ was not high enough.
Hehe.
Wasn't this just playing strategies?
They would play them to death!
They decided that for the next round, all the disciples would join forces and attack the Sword Card Master Association.
That was right!
This time …
They wanted to play strategies!!!
Hence …
The various associations gathered and soon came up with a plan for the next round — They would go all out to attack the Sword Card Master Association and the remaining people would continue to compete.
Hehe.
Playing the art of war?
They were not afraid of them.
The next round was Three Star!
Three Star!
These children were basically 14 to 15 years old. They were mature, vigilant and obedient. They had defeated countless so-called vocation conversion cultivators.
What was there to be afraid of?!
Heh.
They really thought that they were easy to bully.
"What if they send another old man?
"Fight!
"Beat them to death!"
"Roar!"
…
Right then …
At the Sword Card Master Association's side.
Li Haoran also looked toward Lu Ming.
"Master.
"What should we do?"
Li Haoran asked.
"Up to you."
Lu Ming was very calm. "We have played the same trick twice. I don't think the other party will fall for it. So … Up to you. It's fate that we score this round."
"Okay."
Li Haoran understood.
He could also tell that if he did not guess wrongly, the people who were going to fight this time … were cannon fodder!
Dozens of geniuses would besiege them. Even Yu Yunjie would be defeated. Therefore, they decided to randomly send a Three Star cultivator.
Well …
The Sword Card Master or Archer Card Master departments would do.
"I'll do it."
An elder stepped forward.
He was the former president of the Sharpshooter branch.
"…"
Li Haoran was silent.
This person …
He really did not want him to go.
Firstly, the elder's ability was average. He could not even defeat Ye Liangfei in the same realm. As a Three Star, he could not even defeat the other entry-level Three Stars of the Sword Card Master level.
Secondly, judging from the other party's age, they would know that it was a trick. Cough … They would not fall for it.
Thirdly, the elder was highly respected. It would affect his reputation if he went to court death. It would be somewhat embarrassing …
"Have you thought it through?"
Li Haoran smiled bitterly.
"Yes."
The elder's tone was firm.
Since he had made a decision, he could not refute it.
Li Haoran …
He would respect his choice.
He knew very well that he would be the cannon fodder if he went there.
Therefore, he had to make a move. At this stage, the cultivators who were still at the Three Star level were basically the former disciples of the Sharpshooter Association. They were also his subordinates.
Asking them to be the cannon fodder?
Their pride would be hurt.
Since this was the case …
He might as well do it himself …
He had been through the ranks of a grandmaster and had also been through the lowest point of his life. Even if he was defeated the moment he went there, his mind would not be affected.
Therefore …
He was very calm.
Besides …
Since the president thought so highly of him, he had to make some contributions.
Even if …
He had to be the cannon fodder.
"Understood."
Li Haoran's expression was grave. "Later, you will represent the Three Star contestants."
Elder …
He was after all a senior.
"Okay."
The elder smiled faintly.
…
Hence …
The battle of the Three Star.
Everyone looked on with anticipation.
However …
When the audience swept their gazes over, they were somewhat stunned. This was because the representative of the Sword Card Master Association was an elder …
"Crap, again?"
"They are playing tricks again."
"This is too much … Do they think that everyone has no intelligence?"
Everyone lamented listlessly.
Tricks!
They were playing tricks again!
They had played the same trick three times. Wasn't this too much?!
"The Sword Card Master Association is done for …"
"Right, I heard that the various associations have joined forces and are ready to strike …"
"That's right."
The audience was delighted to hear this.
At this moment …
The various associations were also filled with rage.
They had already made up their minds to join forces and kill the representative of the Sword Card Master Association.
No matter …
Who was it!
Therefore …
Even Lu Ming was prepared to score 0 points.
He and Xiao Bai had already begun to calculate how many points they would need to score in order to have a hope of getting first place if they scored 0 points in this match.
Their elder Sharpshooter had also gone on stage.
He knew that he was weak …
Therefore …
He was also prepared to be eliminated in seconds.
However …
When the match began …
When everyone entered the illusory world of the Three Star, to everyone's surprise, all the cultivators avoided the elder immediately …
The elder was speechless.
What …
What was happening?
If he did not remember wrongly, his mission was to be cannon fodder …
Did he know what cannon fodder was?
It was the kind that … the president once said, 'Happy Yasuo', the kind that everything would be over after one was happy …
Although he did not really understand, he still remembered it.
However …
This plot …
It seemed to be different from what he had imagined?
…
He was dumbstruck.
Of course, Lu Ming was dumbstruck too.
This …
What kind of plot was this?
Lu Ming was in a daze for a long time but he could not figure it out.
Right then.
The representative of the Card Creators Association walked over. Seeing the dumbstruck expression on Lu Ming's face, he felt great and laughed out loud. "Hahahaha, are you dumbstruck? Are you very surprised?!
"Hahahaha!
"We have said that we will play tactics …
"We are not afraid of you at all!"
The representative of the Card Creators Association said proudly.
"Do you really think …
"Will we be so stupid as to gang up on you and court death?
"That's too silly!
"We are putting on a show for you.
"Hehe.
"We've already seen through your plan!"
"From the beginning of the competition, you have been playing tricks. One is a powerful One Star and the other is a weak Two Stars. We can't tell them apart. "During the Three Star stage, just when we thought that you were playing tricks again, you sent out the most powerful Grandmaster who switched vocation and asked us to court death …
"Am I right?
"Hehe.
"We have long seen through it!
"After that gatekeeper Uncle Qin, the one you sent out this time is the former branch president of the Sharpshooter Association, a true Master level senior!"
"Then …
"They want us to court death and mess up everyone's score! It is best to defeat the Swordsman Association, the Card Creators Association and the Sharpshooter Association first, am I right?
"In that case …
"The second, third and fourth place will have a huge drop in their score!
"It is very beneficial for you guys!
"After all …
"The final ranking is based on the total score.
"Hehe.
"Your plan is very good.
"It is a pity.
"We have long seen through it.
"So …
"No one will go there to die at all! Hahaha, we will select the strongest and the second strongest according to our standards to ensure that the ranking is normal.
"Hahahahaha."
The representative of the Card Creators laughed loudly.
The rest of the representatives of the associations also revealed a smile.
He wanted to play tactics with them?
Lu Ming was still too inexperienced.
Of course.
Student Lu Ming's expression had evolved from confused.gif to confused.avi to confused.rmvb.
You guys …
Are too good? Too outstanding.
