When oneâs strength is almost on par, thereâs jealousy, but when the otherâs strength surpasses oneâs imagination, aside from envy and jealousy, thereâs admiration!
Jiang Tang never imagined that one day he would become a Venerable, and the perk of being a Venerable is that he is always respected.
Even in front of him, they act humble, wishing not to exist and not letting him know, thatâs his enemies!
Friendly friends are different; around him, they receive many benefits and naturally want to become his supporters.
In the Cultivation World, he doesnât have many friends, just a few cherished ones who treat him with sincerity!
With so many good things, why not be generous and share them?
Besides, obtaining good things is too easy for him, easy enough to give them to others, without concern.
Using things and money to exchange friendship, to exchange more benefits, why not? Even if itâs friendship!
Even in love, without strength, love one possesses will deteriorate over time!
With strength, he possesses too many things and enjoys them!
Eryao felt better now, and while eating meat, he praised the Green Ox, saying his cooking skills have improved!
The Green Ox didnât refute, only felt happy, as gaining praise from Eryao is quite rare!
That night, they once again drank throughout the night. With their current ability, they donât need rest; simply meditating can relieve fatigue!
The next day, after dawn, Green Ox simply cooked them breakfast!
The soccer match in Hell Palace was about to start again, the showdown between the Leopard and the Lion!
Overnight, perhaps from the excitement of the daytime event, even the Demons couldnât sleep at night. Those with a chance to participate in the match couldnât sleep, making the Ghosts wonder if these Demons intended to cause trouble?
Why werenât they sleeping soundly in the dead of night?
Ghosts with great ability watched yesterdayâs match!
The weaker ones couldnât; they would just wait for the next match!
Yesterdayâs winner of the Pills was the Leopard, leaving the Wolf, Tiger, and Lion unsatisfied. Todayâs soccer match between the Lion and Leopard has garnered much team support!
They cheered for the Lion, urging it to take down the Leopard.
The Lion bowed to the cheer squad and cheered on its team with Qi!
Yesterdayâs winning Leopard was filled with Qi and confidence today, as winning this match would qualify them for the next showdown and eventually the final one!
To have more matches is both a divine tribulation and a source of honor!
The match began, and like the Tiger yesterday, the Lion used its powerful physique to block its opponent!
The tactics were the same, but having watched yesterdayâs game, the Leopard had some insight; their agile bodies were their capital!
Only fools would engage in head-on collisions; winning the match without getting injured is the strategy of wise Demons!
One uses its massive body, the other its agility; both sides fought fiercely over a single soccer ball!
Now they talked about yesterdayâs Demonic Dragon, which got dribbled like a basketball, then kicked around, losing its initial arrogance!
There were always questions about Dragon birth; one so powerful in the Demon Realm was annihilated, left as a remnant soul. With this Magical Treasure, it sought to perform a Body Seizing!
However, it was too naive, underestimating humanity and the abilities of other Dragons!
Because of its underestimation, it allowed the opponents to exploit a loophole, joining forces against it, turning it into someone elseâs tool, a tool for ball sports!
Wanting to break out of the Seal, its soul found that touching the Seal was exceedingly painful, leading its consciousness to fade away slowly, what was going on?
Today, when kicked around in soccer, it remained silent, knowing speaking up was futile and would only invite ridicule from other Demons!
It felt humiliated enough to consider suicide, though unwilling to act!
It could only continue to vow that if ever released from the Seal, it would slay all those Demons, both the ones insulting it now and all other Demons!
The Demons in the match and those watching had no idea what the ball was made of; once, it could even talk!
Not knowing, they didnât fear, watching the spectacular soccer match, and seeing the clumsy Lion trying to collide with the agile Leopard, only for the Lion to fall over!
If the Lion got the ball and wanted to score against the opposing goal, it wasnât that easy; the Leopard swiftly intercepted!
The Leopard goalkeeper was formidable, reacting quickly and predicting the ballâs angle of attack!
Both catching or rebounding firmly!
The Lion could utilize its strength to grab the ball and score, but when the ball rebounded, it didnât enter the net!
No goals meant no points, and without points, the ball was taken by the Leopard, who, before the Lion could react, kicked it toward the opposing goal.
Shooting from a distance, the Lionâs cumbersome body sometimes managed to catch it, but occasionally it slipped through!
Not halfway through, the Leopard had already taken the lead in points.
Seeing this, the Lion King grew anxious, roaring repeatedly, warning the audience Demons to stay away!
They feared the Lionâs madness could rupture their eardrums!
The Leopard paid no heed to the roaring, casting a barrier around the field to prevent outside Demons from influencing those inside!
Eryao laughed heartily, finding todayâs spectacle delightful, especially the Lionâs exasperated demeanor!
Not due to any grudge between him as a Dragon and the Lion, but he found it amusing!
Having won yesterday, the Leopard was confident today, with the prior game providing insights and strategies!
After all, the Leopardâs intelligence was cunning, while the Lionâs massive body didnât necessarily accompany wisdom!
Thinking their physical advantage would secure a win, they watched their points lag behind, driving the Lion on the field to madness!
The Lion, in its frenzy, cared not just for the game but aimed to attack the Leopard!
With a commanding lead, the Leopard ran relentlessly from the frenzied Lion; scoring was not an easy feat, not with a goalkeeper in place.
The game was destined for the Leopardâs victory, simply because of the Lionâs insanity!
Their points had fallen too far behind to catch up!
With two matches won, the two sides began the first round of the finals, a game between the Tiger and Leopard!
In the last basketball game, losing to the Leopard left the Tiger discontented, determined to win today!
Watching the Lionâs match, the Tiger recognized the Leopardâs strengths, planning to leverage its formidable body and compete in speed!
This match was even more intense; the Leopard, just having fought a game, only had time for a sip of water and a few bites of stored flowers to replenish strength!
Then began the match with the Tiger!
The Tiger was formidable; they usually avoided direct confrontation, yet this was entertainment, a brawl-style entertainment!
Indeed, it tested them, challenging their speed, wisdom, agility!
And, of course, their soccer skills!
Eryao and Green Ox, eating snacks and drinking fruit juice, indulged in treats constantly!
The Demons standing by them kept drooling!
Though the fieldâs match was captivating, more enticing was Eryao and Green Oxâs continuous consumption of fruits and snacks, arousing saliva but no courage to ask!
Though the two appeared human, they knew one was a Dragon, and the other transformed into something unknown.
