Today's semifinals had finally come to an end.
And the ripples brought about by this result were still continuing to spread.
Dongfang Dieyu's defeat to Dongfang Ba was within everyone's expectations. However, Dongfang Shuoming's sudden rise had attracted even more attention, and he was the subject of much discussion.
With just a gray wolf, he had defeated Dongfang Shuwen, the direct disciple of the Second Elder, who was one of the top three favorites!
Without a doubt, he was a rising star among Spirit Controllers!
Unfortunately, as the person involved, Wu Ming was not excited at all. He calmly returned to his courtyard.
After all, the Dongfang Clan was too small compared to the Flaming Continent. How could a genius from a small clan compare to those Children of Fortune?
However, when he returned to his courtyard, he smiled inwardly. "The fat pig is here!"
Moonlight sprinkled down.
Wu Ming pushed open the door and entered. He saw a pretty lady standing in front of the flower bed in his courtyard, as if she was appraising the flowers.
However, how could the beauty of ordinary flowers compare to this lady?
"I am Dongfang Rouxin. Congratulations to Young Master Shuoming for making it to the finals!"
The pretty lady turned around and bowed gently.
"You flatter me … You work for the Chief Elder?"
Wu Ming asked directly.
"That's right …" Dongfang Rouxin smiled. It was as if spring had arrived in the courtyard, and hundreds of flowers were blooming. "There are many mutants in your garden, but the soil is not fertile enough. I took the liberty of burying some flowers as fertilizer. You don't mind, do you?"
"Fertilizer?"
Wu Ming stepped forward, and the tip of his nose smelled the scent of blood. He slightly turned over a bit of soil, and he could see a sluggish and resentful face.
Unfortunately, Luo Geng was lifeless now.
"This is the sorrow of a servant. Once you lose your value, you will be discarded like a pair of old shoes!"
He sighed. He had grasped the Chief Elder's meaning. This was a show of goodwill, and also a show of force!
Killing an enemy was naturally a show of goodwill.
But burying flowers as fertilizer? Wu Ming looked at Dongfang Rouxin's smiling face and sighed inwardly. If he was an ordinary youth, he would have been scared out of his wits by now.
But who was he? How could he be frightened by such a trivial matter?
He immediately smiled and said, "That's great! With this fertility, next spring, the courtyard will be filled with peaches and plums. Thank you very much! "
Dongfang Rouxin looked at Wu Ming in astonishment.
At this time, Dongfang Shuoming was no more than fifteen years old. His body was thin and frail, but she could not see the slightest trace of fear in his eyes.
Sighing inwardly, Dongfang Rouxin smiled and said, "The reason why I am here is because I have a small matter that I hope gongzi can agree to. I will definitely repay you generously..."
He immediately stated his conditions.
Hearing this, Wu Ming raised his eyebrows. This was exactly the condition he had proposed to Dongfang Jin yesterday. He didn't expect the other party to have even found out about this. It was enough to show that the Great Elder's faction still controlled most of the Dongfang family's power.
"However, coming first in the Clans Tournament doesn't just mean glory. There's also a reward of tens of thousands of spirit coins, as well as a chance to choose from the treasury …"
He said calmly, "This … is not enough!"
Dongfang Rouxin was slightly surprised. "Then what else do you want?"
"I need Demon Crystals. The more the better!"
Wu Ming said in a deep voice, "I can give in to the other conditions, but I need at least fifty standard portions of Demon Crystals!"
"Dream on!"
Dongfang Rouxin's expression changed. "Do you know how precious these Demon Crystals are? The Great Elder and Young Master Ba's Nether Wolves need them … "
"They can use them, but I can't?"
Wu Ming had a playful smile on his face. "Dongfang Ba's Nether Wolf should be at the middle stage of the infant stage, right? Against the big gray wolf at the peak of the infant stage, the chance of winning is only seventy to eighty percent! "
"You're so clear …"
"It's only a twenty to thirty percent chance of failure. You can't afford to gamble!"
Wu Ming was abnormally confident. "Dongfang Ba is the future Great Elder's successor. Every step he takes must be steady. Only by taking first place in the Clans Tournament and taking the lead can he lead the group of heroes in the future. Not to mention twenty to thirty percent, even a one percent chance of failure is not something you can afford to gamble with!"
"I've already stated my conditions. You pay first, and I'll do the work later! You better think about it carefully! "
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand firmly as if he was sending his guest off.
Dongfang Rouxin did not leave. She gritted her teeth, obviously still weighing the pros and cons. After her expression changed several times, she finally revealed a bitter smile. "You win. I'll send the Demon Crystals tonight!"
She really admired this young man. The conditions he proposed were just right at the critical point.
If it was any higher, the Great Elder would definitely be furious. Even if he risked falling out with the Third Elder, he would still secretly injure this young man.
But now, it was neither more nor less. Although the Demon Crystals were painful, it was just a small reduction in the supply of Nether Wolves. In the end, it would still fall on the entire clan's account.
Compared to secretly injuring Wu Ming, offending the Third Elder, and causing an uproar, the cost-effectiveness ratio of compromising was undoubtedly the highest.
Thus, the choice he would make was something that was predestined from the very beginning!
…
"Great Elder, the matter has been settled!"
Late at night, Dongfang Rouxin appeared in Dongfang Ying's dormitory and said while half-kneeling.
Dongfang Ying opened the window and looked at the moon. After a long time, she sighed. "This young man is really smart!"
Patience! Tenacity! Ferocity! Most importantly, he knew how to be patient at the crucial moment!
In comparison, although Dongfang Ba was born to be an overlord, he always felt that he was lacking something.
"You did well in this matter. However, a few Demon Crystals are really nothing. You may leave!"
Dongfang Ying waved her hand. "Also … there's no need to tell Ba Sun about this!"
"Yes!"
A strange look flashed in Dongfang Rouxin's eyes. She slowly retreated and glanced at Dongfang Ba's dormitory.
Ever since he defeated Dongfang Dieyu, Dongfang Ba had been training his Nether Wolf in the courtyard. Obviously, he felt a certain sense of urgency.
"Awoo!"
Suddenly, a loud howl came from the courtyard, causing Dongfang Rouxin's face to turn strange …
…
On the day of the finals of the Dongfang Clan's minor competition.
Dongfang Ba stood in the arena with his arms crossed and his eyes closed. He was waiting for his opponent.
On the spectator stand, a large number of clansmen were in an uproar.
"Have you heard? Dongfang Ba's Nether Wolf has achieved a breakthrough and advanced! "
"He's indeed a genius!"
"The Nether Wolf is an Outstanding Breed. The Big Bad Wolf will definitely lose!"
Outstanding Breeds could not break through the limit of their ranks. Although the Nether Wolf's strength was not as strong as the Soldier Level Phantom, it was undoubtedly stronger than the Phantom at the peak of the infant stage of the Common Breed!
Although Dongfang Shuoming had repeatedly created miracles, a Common Breed was still a Common Breed! The peak of the infant stage was already the limit!
The Breath Holding Technique could not hide the strength of a major rank.
Therefore, Dongfang Shuoming would definitely lose!
That was the consensus of everyone.
"What a pity … If only the Phantom that Dongfang Shuoming got was better, even if it was only an Elite Breed, he could still fight!"
Dongfang Yue and Dongfang Ao felt very regretful.
"What a pity … If I had gone a little later yesterday, I wouldn't have been cheated by Dongfang Shuoming!"
Dongfang Rouxin felt like vomiting blood.
If she had known that the Nether Wolf would achieve a breakthrough, she would not have gone to give Dongfang Shuoming money.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world. The Grand Elder would not allow her to recover the resources. Otherwise, he would lose all his face.
"What a lucky guy!"
She thought indignantly.
…
Time passed bit by bit, but Wu Ming's figure never appeared.
"What's going on?"
Dongfang Ba opened his eyes. "Could he have … forfeited?"
"Could it be that Ah Ming knew that Dongfang Ba's Phantom had improved, so he forfeited?" Dongfang Dieyu thought the same. "That's a smart idea. After all … Dongfang Ba has always disliked Ah Ming. If he killed Ah Ming during the fight, just like Ah Ming did to Luo Geng, Ah Ming would be finished. It's wise to preserve his strength!"
"Did he really forfeit?"
On the spectator stand, the Dongfang tribesmen looked at each other.
"Time's up!"
The master of ceremonies glanced at the door and finally announced, "Dongfang Shuoming's absence will be regarded as forfeit! The champion of this family competition is Dongfang Ba! "
"What the hell?"
Many people who wanted to watch a good show were dissatisfied. "How can he forfeit? What a coward! "
Most people thought the same as Dongfang Dieyu. "Dongfang Ba is undefeatable. It's wise to preserve his strength! Dongfang Ba deserves to be the champion of this family competition! "
"Congratulations!"
The Second Elder and Third Elder congratulated the First Elder.
"Haha … I didn't expect Ba Sun to be so outstanding! I have a descendant! "
Dongfang Ying laughed, looking very proud.
"Young Master Ba, congratulations on winning the first place! Please come to the stage. The First Elder will present you with the prize! "
The master of ceremonies stepped forward with a flattering smile.
"Get lost!"
Dongfang Ba opened his eyes. His gaze was like a sharp sword. He pushed the master of ceremonies away and ran outside.
"Where are you going?"
Dongfang Dieyu shouted in shock, "Is he not going to let Ah Ming go? No, I have to follow him! "
"Damn it, what is he doing?"
Dongfang Ying was anxious. Forced to maintain his image, he waved his hand and Dongfang Rouxin immediately ran after him.
"No! He wins by default! I, Dongfang Ba, will never accept such an outcome! "
Dongfang Ba roared as he ran, "Dongfang Shuoming, come out! Don't be a coward! I, Dongfang Ba, am a born overlord. Fight me fair and square. I will step on your dead body and reach the pinnacle of glory!!! "
Of course, he was not willing to accept it!
Facing the sudden rise of Wu Ming, he was a little afraid. That was why he cultivated hard all night. Finally, God rewarded him.
But now, he had made a breakthrough and his opponent was avoiding the battle. What was this?
Poor Dongfang Ba, he still had no idea that his slave Luo Geng had been killed by Dongfang Ying and sent to Wu Ming's courtyard last night …
Bang!
He pushed open the door of Wu Ming's courtyard and was stunned!
In the courtyard, Wu Ming looked at a huge black light ball in front of him. Without turning his head, he said, "It's Dongfang Ba. Sorry … My Phantom has just leveled up, so I'm absent!"
"Your Big Bad Wolf is already at the peak of the infant stage. Why are you still leveling up … Wait, you said leveling up, not leveling up!!!"
Dongfang Ba's eyes almost popped out.
Then, a unique aura of a Warrior soared into the sky from the courtyard!
