"I … I admit defeat!"
Opposite Wu Ming, a young man raised his hand and shouted as soon as he entered the ring.
"Opponent forfeits! The winner! Dongfang Shuoming! "
The emcee shouted as he waved his right hand.
Wu Ming speechlessly shrugged his shoulders and descended from the arena. He immediately received a punch from Dongfang Dieyu. "Congratulations … you're now a big celebrity!"
"Oh!"
Wu Ming looked calm. "In fact … they made the right choice!"
He had killed Luo Geng's Iron Claw Wolf in the first round of the competition, and his notoriety had spread far and wide. These young men's spirits were not even as strong as Luo Geng, so how would they dare to go up and die? Weren't they afraid that Wu Ming would kill their spirits as well?
Therefore, Wu Ming won every round and even made it to the top four of the family. Most of his opponents forfeited, so he was extremely relaxed. Dongfang Dieyu, who was also in the top four, was quite envious.
In order to maintain her position as the leader, she had to pay attention to her image at all times. Unlike Wu Ming, she not only had to defeat her opponent and win beautifully, but she also had to be generous and give advice. She analyzed the pros and cons of the enemy's tactics and the reasons for the enemy's failure.
"Also … Sister Yue is very angry because after the first round, the gambling house changed your bet, making her dream of making a fortune fall through …"
Dongfang Dieyu giggled and chatted with Wu Ming about the family. In the end, she played with the hair on her braid and said softly.
"Now in the top four, Dongfang Shuwen, Dongfang Ba, and I all have outstanding spirits, and they are all mid-tier, which is equivalent to the strength of an ordinary peak juvenile. Your big bad wolf is in danger …"
"Not necessarily …"
Wu Ming smiled slightly, "When the top four are eliminated, if we unfortunately meet each other, I won't be merciful!"
"Humph! My Little White is very powerful! "
Dongfang Dieyu turned around unhappily, leaving a proud figure to Wu Ming.
"Hehe …"
Wu Ming shook his head and also left the ring. The young men in front of him all backed away in fear.
Even in the family, this little bit of strength was enough to bring about reverence and earth-shattering changes!
Returning to the small courtyard, Wu Ming found a figure already waiting for him there.
"They really came!"
His lips curled into a smile as he strolled inside.
"Dongfang Shuoming, you might not know me, but I am …"
This person turned around, revealing a kind face, like a smiling shopkeeper in a shop, with shrewdness and cunning hidden in his eyes.
"Second Elder is in charge of the family business and has four deacons under him: Sun, Jin, Dou, and Jin. How could I not know them? Greetings, Master Dongfang Jin! "
Wu Ming smiled. "May I know what brings Deacon here?"
"This …"
A trace of astonishment flashed in Dongfang Jin's eyes. This youth was terrifyingly mature. He felt as if he was looking at his old rivals in the business circle.
He deliberated for a moment before saying, "Shuo Ming, you are talented and intelligent, so I won't beat around the bush with you. The results of the drawing of lots for the top four battles tomorrow have already come out. You will be fighting against Dongfang Shuwen, how confident are you?"
"Confident?"
Wu Ming said proudly, "Sixty to seventy percent!"
"Pfft!"
This sentence completely interrupted Dongfang Jin's prepared speech. "Sixty to seventy percent? Who do you think you are? "
Dongfang Jin panted. "Shuwen is the direct disciple of our Second Elder. The Three-eyed Stone Monkey is an outstanding species, and its mid-tier is equivalent to the peak of the ordinary species! I admit that your big bad wolf has been trained well, but it's only an advanced tier. It's a level lower! Moreover … in terms of training, combat skills, and even temperament, do you think Shuwen, who has the support of our two branches, will lose to you? "
"If that's the case, why are you still here, Master Dongfang Jin?"
Wu Ming pretended to be surprised.
"If Shuwen didn't need to maintain his full strength to fight against Dongfang Ba, who would come to you?"
Dongfang Jin said angrily.
"See, let's just say it!"
Wu Ming spread his hands. "Everything in the world has a price. It's not impossible for me to pretend to lose to Dongfang Shuwen. The key is what price you're willing to pay …"
At this moment, Dongfang Jin was convinced that the young man in front of him was a sly old fox in the business world!
…
"What … You're going too far!"
After a while, Dongfang Jin's facial muscles were twitching. "You're asking for too much. We'll never agree to your conditions!"
"If that's the case, please take care, deacon!"
Wu Ming flicked his sleeves and said coldly.
"You … Think about the consequences! It's not a good thing to offend the Second Elder … The conditions we're offering are already very generous! "
Dongfang Jin made his last effort.
"I'm sorry … I won't give in. Besides, I'm worth the price!"
Wu Ming shrugged. "As for the consequences? In the family competition, offering a price to win over your opponent is already the limit of the unspoken rules. Do you dare to fight? Have you forgotten about the Hall of Beheadings? "
Dongfang Jin froze. Only now did he remember that Dongfang Tie was standing behind Wu Ming. This meant that this young man wasn't without a backer. Especially after displaying such talent, the Hall of Beheadings and Executions would be more than happy to extend an olive branch to him.
"Hmph! You'll regret it when you lose tomorrow!"
He snorted coldly and strode out of the courtyard.
"From the small to the big … The Second Elder has the heart to improve as well. The family might seem prosperous, but the seeds of trouble have long been planted …"
Behind him, Wu Ming's eyes flashed as he sighed inwardly.
What he'd said earlier was the truth. If the benefits were enough, it wouldn't be impossible.
"But … who asked you to offer less than the other family? For the sake of the greatest benefits, I have no choice but to give up on you! "
… …
The next day, in the gladiator arena.
Dongfang Shuwen's white robes fluttered in the wind. He bowed to Wu Ming. "I'm truly sorry about what happened yesterday! Thank you, Brother Shuo Ming, for not accepting my proposal. You gave us a chance to fight! "
"Mm! There's no point in talking too much. Let's begin! "
Wu Ming summoned the big bad wolf.
"Three-eyed Stone Monkey, come out!"
The phantom summoned by Dongfang Shuwen was a huge ape as tall as a human. It was covered with a layer of stone fur. The ape stood up, pounding its chest and roaring. There was a vertical eye between its eyebrows. Unfortunately, it was tightly closed, revealing only a small gap.
A ray of light flashed in Wu Ming's eyes.
[Three-eyed Stone Monkey]
[Race Level: Outstanding Breed (Yellow)]
[Race Bonus: 2]
[Attribute: Rock]
[Level: Middle-level Juvenile]
[Demonic Arts: Petrifying Ray, Stone Skin]
[Enhancements: Middle-level Sharp Claw, Advanced Fur Defense, Advanced Jump]
[Status: Healthy]
… …
"Roar!"
"Awoo!"
The two phantoms looked at each other for a few seconds. Suddenly, they roared and collided.
"Claw attack!"
Wu Ming ordered. The big bad wolf roared and a cold light burst out of its sharp claws.
"Squeak!"
The Three-eyed Stone Monkey was hit and grimaced in pain.
"What? I'm afraid his Big Bad Wolf's Sharp Claw has been upgraded to the advanced level! "
Dongfang Shuwen's face tightened. "Stone Skin!"
The Three-eyed Stone Monkey roared. Its body was covered with a layer of gray skin, greatly increasing its defense. It pounced.
"Don't fight recklessly! Fight! "
Wu Ming fought calmly. Loud noises kept coming from the field.
But the spectators in the stands felt their blood boil.
"As expected of one of the top four!"
"Dongfang Shuoming is really strong. He can control the phantoms as if they were his own arms! This has surpassed the level of verbal command and visual command. It has reached the level of mental command! Amazing talent! "
"Hurry up and lose! Hurry up and lose! "
Dongfang Jin stared at the battlefield and shouted in his heart.
If he failed to bribe Wu Ming, the longer Wu Ming resisted, the louder it would be for him. Therefore, he was the one who hoped that Wu Ming would lose immediately.
"Is he trying to stall for time and wait for the effect of the Stone Skin to pass?"
Dongfang Shuwen discovered that his Three-eyed Stone Monkey wasn't a match for the big bad wolf in terms of speed. Moreover, he had punched out a few times, causing the entire field to cave in. He was already perspiring slightly, and his heart tightened.
"Create an opportunity …"
He glanced at the big bad wolf as his gaze turned heavy. "Again!"
"Roar! Roar!"
The Three-eyed Stone Monkey roared. He clenched his fists together and smashed down like an iron hammer.
Rumble!
Crushed rocks flew everywhere! The entire field trembled, and a small pit appeared in the center.
"Hurry up and dodge!"
Wu Ming commanded.
"Three-eyed Stone Monkey, rock attack!" Dongfang Shuwen shouted, getting the Three-eyed Stone Monkey to smash out a large number of rocks to obstruct the big bad wolf's movement.
Pa!
Finally, a rock smashed into the gray shadow, causing the big bad wolf's movement to falter.
"Now is the time. Open your third eye! Petrification Ray! "
Dongfang Shuwen roared.
"The victor has been decided!" Dongfang Jin clenched his fists. He was even more agitated than Dongfang Shuwen.
"Now is the time!"
Wu Ming's eyes lit up as well. "Big bad wolf, remove your concealment and attack with full force!"
"Awoooo!"
A layer of light flashed on the big bad wolf's body, as if a seal had been broken. An aura that wasn't inferior to that of the Three-eyed Stone Monkey erupted forth!
Pu!
The big bad wolf's speed increased by a notch, dodging the petrification ray. It then slashed out with its claws, tearing apart the stone skin. Fresh blood gushed out of the Three-eyed Stone Monkey.
"What? Peak-Stage? "
"So it was still concealing a tier-one level of strength!"
"How sinister!"
Dongfang Jin almost coughed out a mouthful of blood. "This is definitely intentional. It pretended to be weak at the start, luring Dongfang Shuwen to attack and exhaust his stamina! Not good! "
He suddenly came to his senses. "Although the Three-eyed Stone Monkey is an outstanding species, it is only at the mid-stage of the juvenile stage. How much demonic energy does it have?"
As expected, the light on the Three-eyed Stone Monkey's body collapsed, and a layer of stone skin fell off.
However, the big bad wolf's strength was great, and it pressed forward.
When Dongfang Shuwen saw this, he could only smile bitterly and clasp his hands. "Brother Shuo Ming's strength is astonishing. I've lost this round!"
"Thanks for letting me win!"
Wu Ming retracted the big bad wolf. This wasn't like Luo Geng, who would insist on fighting to the death.
"Victor! Dongfang Shuo Ming! "
The emcee seemed to have lost his composure. He coughed a few times before announcing the result.
"What? Dongfang Shuo Ming won? "
"Dark horse! A huge dark horse! The gambling house is probably going to cry to death! "
…
On the spectator stand, Dongfang Jin's countenance alternated between red and white. When he thought of the consequences of this matter, his eyelids rolled and he directly fainted …
