Wan Hongzhuang
Chapter 214 Complex Situation
"So, tell me, why did you suddenly figure it out?"
Wan Lei still wore a mocking smile on his lips. It was a rare opportunity to humiliate Wan Liuchuan, and he intended to seize it.
"These past few days… how should I put it? Most of the teams I encountered were weaker than me, but I could only fight one at a time, and the remaining three would always escape, without any teammates to help me contain them.
Later on, the teams I encountered became stronger and stronger, some even able to fight me to a standstill, which was infuriating.
Until two days ago, I encountered the Liu Family Trio. Each of these three was only slightly weaker than me, truly powerful.
If I faced one of them, I could win, but it wouldn't be easy. But against all three of them, I lost."
"Wait a minute, who are the Liu Family Trio?"
Wan Lei asked.
"Liu Shiyu, Liu Shizhan, and Liu Shichen. These three are biological brothers, second only to Liu Ao in the Liu family. Together, they are a match for even Liu Ao,"
Dun Yue said.
"Oh, I see. That's really a pity. You actually managed to escape alive."
"…Are you even speaking human language?"
Wan Liuchuan rolled his eyes at Wan Lei.
"These are my only two defeats in the Myriad Pride Ranking competition. After reflecting on it, I realized it's better to team up. But I don't want to find anyone else. Firstly, I don't know or trust them, and secondly, they're too weak.
So, I still have to come and find you."
"Two defeats? Who was the other one?"
"After we separated last time, I fought Fang Xiaoyu…"
"Good heavens, you fought Fang Xiaoyu? That thing is a freak, capable of wiping out a first-rate team single-handedly. And you actually survived?"
Dun Yue exclaimed.
The terror of Fang Xiaoyu, in Dun Yue's mouth, had become "that thing," clearly showing that in Dun Yue's mind, Fang Xiaoyu was too powerful to be considered human.
"Yeah, how did you escape?"
"Escape? I didn't escape! She didn't kill me."
"Oh, she actually showed mercy? Does she have a crush on you?"
Wan Lei grinned.
"Bah, don't think I don't know what happened three days ago. The entire desert is already talking about it, saying you and Fang Xiaoyu were like two lovesick fools who spent a joyful day together.
Would I steal your woman?"
Dun Yue nodded vigorously in agreement, indicating that Wan Liuchuan was telling the truth.
"What? What is all this nonsense? There's nothing between her and me, we're rivals, more like enemies!"
"Enemies who are destined to be together."
"Misery loves company."
Wan Liuchuan and Dun Yue chimed in, one after the other.
"Get lost, all of you are ruining my reputation."
"It's not just us. Do you know that the entire process of our competition is being clearly watched by the people outside?
Right now, your affair is probably spreading throughout the Central Domain.
When are you two getting married? I'm waiting for the feast."
"Saying I'm waiting to celebrate is better than that… Bah, get married for what! Nothing's going on, don't spread rumors."
Lei Baobao felt wronged,
Lei Baobao was innocent,
Lei Baobao didn't do anything. He hadn't even done anything beyond hugging, yet people were already spreading such rumors.
Well… it seems like he did hug her…
However, he didn't really care too much. He was a man, after all, not one to take a loss.
As for the other person involved, she didn't know anything about this. If she did, she would probably just nod indifferently and say "Oh."
Or perhaps, she wouldn't even say "Oh."
The reason was simple, she was too proud, so proud that she didn't care about anyone,
So naturally,
She wouldn't care about anyone's opinion of her.
She laughed when she wanted to laugh, and laughed at whoever she wanted to laugh at.
As for the others,
Who do you think you are?
How old are you?
Is it any of your business?
"Alright, let's not talk about these gossips. I have some information here, do you want to hear it? It's all about the first-rate teams."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Two "yeses," one from Wan Lei, one from Dun Yue.
"Let's not talk about those who were defeated before, like Jian Xunhuan, Yue Lingxi, Wang Xun, and Huo Ling'er. Just yesterday, two more first-rate teams were defeated."
"Who?"
"Qian Duoduo, Zhou Tai."
"Qian Duoduo was eliminated too?"
Wan Lei was very surprised. He had sparred with Qian Duoduo some time ago and had a good impression of him. He didn't expect him to not even make it to the finals.
"Yes, this is the most important information. Liu Ao has teamed up with the Liu Family Trio.
Liu Ao's strength was already the ceiling among the first-rate teams, and with the addition of the Liu Family Trio, they have become the strongest team.
Fighting them, if your team doesn't have two first-rate members, don't even think about surviving.
Qian Duoduo was easily defeated by them and almost killed. In the end, I don't know if it was because Liu Ao was worried about the Yin Yang Sect's reputation or if he was too slow, but Qian Duoduo crushed his token and was eliminated."
"I see, then we really have to be careful when we encounter Liu Ao."
"Yes, Zhou Tai's team was wiped out by Fang Xiaoyu alone, completely eliminated."
"Fang Xiaoyu again?"
Wan Lei frowned.
"Yes, this Zhou Tai, although considered downstream among the first-rate teams in terms of strength, similar to Yue Lingxi, it's normal for him to be wiped out by Fang Xiaoyu."
"That means, the only first-rate teams left on the field are the three of us, as well as Fang Xiaoyu, Liu Ao, and Fang Huihui."
"That's right. The competition has been going on for twenty-eight days and is about to come to an end. It's also the most brutal time.
During this time, people have gained some understanding of the combat power of the first-rate teams and have divided them into upper and lower levels."
"Oh ho, who are they?"
Wan Lei was interested.
"The top three are Liu Ao, Fang Xiaoyu, and you. The rest are all downstream."
Wan Liuchuan said, glancing unwillingly at Wan Lei. Why is your ranking higher than mine?
But he couldn't deny that Wan Lei had a record of eliminating two first-rate teams, while he had none.
Fang Xiaoyu had three, and although Liu Ao only had one, he was an old-school powerhouse who had long been regarded as the number one among his peers.
"Then why is Liu Ao ranked higher than me? No way, when I see him, I have to fight him and eliminate him to prove that I am the number one prodigy."
Young Master Lei was full of spirit.
"Alright, don't show off at this time. Let's do our job first."
After Wan Liuchuan finished speaking, he looked at Dun Yue.
Dun Yue's heart skipped a beat.
"Um, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Friends, we'll meet again sometime. Come to my Dun family for tea in the future."
After Dun Yue finished speaking, he turned around and ran.
As a result, before he could run two steps, he heard a loud thud. He had crashed headfirst into a barrier.
Young Master Lei had trapped him.
