When the sky turned dark, Xiao Huang finally walked into the house. However, no matter how one looked at him, he looked very haggard.
"Chirp chirp?" Flamy swallowed the big fat fish in the bucket and looked at Xiao Huang in confusion. It didn't know if it was an illusion, but why did it feel like this duck was very haggard?
Xiao Huang sat on the ground listlessly. No matter how delicious the food in front of him was, it couldn't tempt him at all.
I'm so stupid, really.
Xiao Huang really wanted to cry, but he knew that he was a strong duckling. A strong duckling wouldn't cry.
Gao Peng decided to ignore this greedy duck for the time being. He had already made a fortune for it, but this guy actually went to buy it behind his back. Moreover, the amount of money he bet was so huge. He probably used all the money he earned yesterday to gamble.
"You brought this upon yourself!" Gao Peng sneered.
Xiao Huang looked at Gao Peng pitifully. He originally wanted to get some comfort from Gao Peng, but he ended up getting such a cruel answer. Xiao Huang almost burst into tears.
"Let me ask you, how did you get the boss to buy it for you? The boss shouldn't be able to understand what you're saying. "Gao Peng suddenly thought of something and said to Xiao Huang with a smile that wasn't a smile.
Xiao Huang was still fine and didn't react immediately. However, Abba, who was standing not far away, was shocked.
I should have known. I should have known that Xiao Huang was definitely not reliable.
Abba suddenly couldn't sit still and felt that she couldn't calm down. She secretly glanced at Gao Peng's back. He shouldn't have realized that it was me yet.
She then stood up and took the opportunity to sneak out.
"Abba is a cultural spider. His handwriting is very beautiful." Xiao Huang stuttered.
Abba, who was outside the house, almost fainted when she heard this. She quickly ran to the backyard and dug a hole to bury herself.
This has nothing to do with me. I'm innocent.
Abba suddenly felt that her identity as a cultural spider was not safe. She knew how to read and write. Would she be suspected by Gao Peng because she knew too much?
"Oh, it's Abba." Gao Peng nodded and walked to the backyard. He stepped on a piece of soil that had just been refurbished. Gao Peng said coldly, "Don't play dead. Do you think your handwriting is very beautiful? You haven't even cleaned your own ass yet, and you still have the mind to care about others. Since you love to study so much, then study Chinese to the high school level."
After this small incident, the next day, Xiao Huang squatted in a corner with a palm-thick book in her arms. The cover of the book read — "Finance and Wall Street".
Xiao Huang held the book in a daze for three hours.
Finally, he got up and quietly walked to the trash can and threw the book into it.
"I'm not learning anymore!" Xiao Huang said quietly. Then, he lowered his head and looked at his bulging chest. Xiao Huang suddenly realized that he had been wrong all along.
.....
Today was the start of the third round of the competition. Unlike the previous rounds, the third round of the competition did not allow contestants from the same region to be matched with each other.
Currently, there were 16 contestants left in the third round. Three-quarters of the 64 contestants from the first day had been eliminated.
Those who were able to stand in the third round were basically the top contestants from their respective regions. Whether they were dark horses or not, they were now the top geniuses of their respective regions.
Sixteen contestants sounded like a lot, but the number of contestants from each region was not that high. Every region had at most three or four contestants, and some regions had only one or two contestants. Some regions had even lost all their contestants.
Huaxia had four contestants who had entered the third round. They were Zhang Yi, Jun Moyi, Gao Leshi, and Long Bingyu.
Huaxia was the region with the most contestants who had entered the third round. It was a great honor for Huaxia.
Monster trainers who were able to advance to this stage all had their own famous familiars, which were the strongest familiars. They were also the core of their respective familiars' teams.
Zhang Yi's main familiar was the fire-type Fire Hound. It was called the Fire Hound King by the busybodies on the internet. According to rumors, Zhang Yi was very reluctant to be called the Fire Hound King.
Jun Moyi's main familiar was the Black Anaconda, while Gao Leshi's main familiar was a Perfect-grade Commander-tier Blood Horn Armored Wolf.
Long Bingyu's main familiar was a Perfect-grade Polar Beetle.
Only Zhang Yi's Fire Hound was Epic-grade. The other three main familiars were only Perfect-grade. Even in a large-scale competition like this, Epic-grade familiars were still extremely rare.
Luckily, none of the four contestants from the Huaxia region had any internal strife. They were all matched with contestants from other regions.
After the results of the draw were out, the four contestants let out a sigh of relief. Gao Peng would not be the referee for their matches.
For some reason, there was a strange trend going around the internet.
Six of the eight eliminated contestants from the Huaxia region were eliminated in the match where Gao Peng was the referee.
Of course, the six eliminated contestants were indeed weaker than their opponents. The audience saw it clearly. But the odds were a little too coincidental.
Even those who didn't believe in such things couldn't help but mutter.
Gao Peng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It really had nothing to do with him. He was also from the Huaxia region. Of course, he hoped that the contestants from the Huaxia region would win.
But as the referee, he couldn't just roll up his sleeves and fight if the contestants couldn't win. Gao Peng was also helpless. In fact, the position of referee was meaningless. Other than the excitement at the beginning, the rest was boring.
Zhang Yi's opponent was Yinglie region's number one, Brandy. Yu Ge, the number one contestant from the Huaxia region, had been eliminated by Brandy. As such, many people were looking forward to this match.
Zhang Yi was even crowned as the hope of the entire village.
An Epic-grade fire-type familiar versus an Epic-grade wood-type familiar. The outcome of the match was just as many people had expected. From the beginning, Zhang Yi's Fire Hound had the upper hand. The flames in the arena were monstrous. Wave after wave of heat washed over the Wailing Serpent Tree, causing it to cry out in pain.
The Wailing Serpent Tree's voice was very strange. Snoring sounds came from the tree hole. In the end, Brandy chose to surrender. His heart ached as he brought his familiar off the field to receive treatment.
After entering the third round, the pace of the matches sped up. The intense and exciting matches made the audience feel satisfied. The ticket price was well worth it.
Commander-tier familiars could already release elements. Even though they weren't as terrifying as Lord-tier familiars, their special effects weren't any worse. Fists collided with flesh. Some of the audience couldn't help but scream at the exciting parts.
Gao Peng watched all this silently. Suddenly, he thought of the Underground Colosseum.
Actually, there wasn't much of a difference, right?
The only difference was that one was an official competition, while the other was an illegal one.
