Chapter 2107 — The Fourth Contest
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At this moment, the happiest place in the entire hidden Zhao family was none other than the hidden Han family's lodgings. Three victories in a row—such a result was likely the most dazzling record in the history of the hidden-family summit. In past contests, even without fixing or cheating, powerful families like the Yu and You could never have won three in a row!
"Boss, you are too awesome! This time, our hidden Han family is simply extraordinary!" Han Xiaohu said smugly.
"Xiaopo, do not be proud. This is only the beginning. If Mr. Lin goes on to win all the remaining contests outright, that will be truly impressive!" Han Tianba said. "It will not be too late to celebrate then!"
Watching Wei Zhao's calm, unruffled expression, Han Tianba was all the more delighted. That Wei Zhao did not argue meant he was confident of continuing to win!
At noon, after a meal of fine dishes prepared by the hidden Zhao family and a short rest, the same hidden Zhao disciple came to visit again. "Is the venerable Elder Han of the hidden Han family present? Today's second contest—the solo endurance trial—is about to begin. Please have Elder Han bring the participating disciple and the stakes to the council hall to register and pay the stakes!"
Han Tianba, Wei Zhao, and the others were already well versed in these rules. They casually took out a treasure and followed the disciple to the council hall.
In the hidden Zhao family's council hall, Elder Zhao saw Han Tianba, Han Xiaohu, and Wei Zhao arrive, nodded to them, and said with a somewhat dulled gaze, "Today's second contest is the solo endurance trial! The so-called solo endurance trial uses a small formation provided by an ancient sect. Several Heaven-rank experts—myself, Elder You, Elder Tang, Elder Yu, and others—will simultaneously channel our true qi to activate the formation, and within it our true qi will be **converged** to form a pressure against you!
The contestants will enter the formation and use their own true qi to resist the true qi that we jointly unleash. Whoever holds out the longest wins! Of course, if you cannot endure it, withdraw honestly from the formation. Otherwise you may be injured or even killed—the true qi of Heaven-rank experts is no joking matter!
This is a contest and a test of endurance. If there are no objections, we shall prepare to begin!"
"Good, no problem!" An Mingyue smiled faintly and said lightly.
The others likewise indicated that they had no objections and that the contest could begin.
Wei Zhao glanced at An Mingyue with some surprise. This fellow, who never said a word, Wei Zhao had previously taken for a mere foil—the Fire Wolf Gang had shown no sign of winning a single contest, and even second and third place were beyond their reach, so Wei Zhao had always overlooked this fellow!
And now, in this round, An Mingyue had suddenly leaped forward. Something was clearly amiss. Wei Zhao could basically be certain—this solo endurance contest seemed to have been arranged for An Mingyue?
