Chapter 64: Bro, I Was Really Wrong, My Mouth Got Me in Trouble

Bai Qingzhao remained silent under Wuu Yuan’s gaze. She hadn’t expected to so coincidentally encounter a Giant Summoning Beast, especially in such a distant place.

The fact that the Giant Summoning Beast could discover them highlighted the vast disparity in their power levels.

Only after speaking with Wuu Yuan did Bai Qingzhao learn that this giant was merely one of Shen Fei’s many summoned beasts.

Shen Fei also had two other summoned beasts.

Wuu Yuan expressed helplessness: "Shen Fei’s plan is to eliminate most of the monsters and leave a few to auction for points. The entire competition is under Shen Fei’s control."

"Therefore, if you want to maintain second place, you might need to make some sacrifices," Wuu Yuan added.

Bai Qingzhao shook her head: "I don’t need second place. To me, not achieving first place means failure."

I was never fully supportive of Tang Yann’s alliance strategy.

In my view, the strong should stay strong, and the weak remain weak. Defeating Shen Fei using such a method is meaningless, and I don’t lack resources from the exchange tournament."

Wuu Yuan was somewhat puzzled: "Then why did you agree to Tang Yann?"

"He agreed to deliver the painting... um, it’s nothing. Just had some free time." Bai Qingzhao instinctively replied but paused upon realizing something, opting not to elaborate further.

Instead, she shifted the topic to Su Muyu: "I’m looking forward to our next confrontation. I concede this time and voluntarily withdraw."

Su Muyu smiled in response: "I look forward to it too, but the next time we meet, you’ll lose even faster."

And then.

Bai Qingzhao and her companions were enveloped in white light, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

This indicated that she had completely withdrawn from the competition, without even considering keeping second place.

Before long, people saw shadows cast down from the sky.

Wuu Yuan looked up and discovered a group of people similar to those they had previously encountered, falling directly from the sky and hitting the snow.

Compared to the others, the four from Shimen First High School were more embarrassed, just recently experiencing a "freefall without safety measures."

​Especially Whu Xiang, the Empress already knew Whu Xiang was the one who previously spoke arrogantly to Shen Fei and cursed along the way.

Thus, the Empress not only had him experience the freefall but also the pendulum swing in midair. Now Whu Xiang was thoroughly disoriented, unsure if he was still alive.

Shen Fei walked up to the prone Whu Xiang, smiling and saying: "Oh, if it isn’t Mr. Wu?"

​Whu Xiang raised his head, wanting to say something, but the churning in his stomach prevented him from speaking. Iron Defense beside him could only smile wryly: "Shen Fei, kill us or torture us, but tormenting us like this is meaningless."

​"If you really can’t stand it, just withdraw from the competition. A score of zero means nothing; after all, you aren’t likely to secure second or third place."

Shen Fei stretched lazily, counting the number of people, "Looks like everyone is here, Empress. Go kill the remaining monsters, then capture some back."

Tang Yann, pale-faced, scanned the area and noticed Bai Qingzhao was absent, unable to resist asking: "Did you kill Bai Qingzhao already?"

"No, Bai Qingzhao chose to withdraw on her own."

Tang Yann calculated in his mind, if Bai Qingzhao had withdrawn, as long as he took third place, based on total points, he could actually secure second place.

Shen Fei directed his gaze back to Whu Xiang, "I’m giving you an opportunity now: admit you shouldn’t have spoken out of turn, then slap yourself ten times to settle this."

Whu Xiang merely smirked coldly, pausing, "If you’re capable, just kill me; anyway, in the instance..."

"Little Cang!"

The next moment, everyone saw how Shimen First High School was tossed around by the Vast Heaven Venerable as if performing acrobatics, constantly thrown and caught, then thrown again and caught.

Still holding Whu Xiang’s leg like a child holding a mouse’s tail, spinning wildly.

Whu Xiang’s bile came out, unusually clear against the snowfield.

"Bro... I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn’t have been mouthy!" Whu Xiang truly couldn’t take it anymore; he felt like he was going to puke his stomach out at this rate.

Yet he just couldn’t die.

The crowd heard Whu Xiang’s heart-wrenching cries and fell into silence, increasingly wary of Shen Fei, thinking they must not cross him in the future.

Geez, this is too vengeful!

They also knew about the feud between Shen Fei and Shimen First High School; someone merely spoke rudely, and now they were being tortured in the instance.

The Vast Heaven Venerable tossed the four onto the ground, eating dirt, "I’m done playing! Whoever wants to play can play!"

The group’s sole girl sobbed uncontrollably before immediately exiting the instance.

Another boy started looking at Whu Xiang with hostility, all because of his mouth.

"I’m leaving too."

After speaking, the boy disappeared.

This left only Iron Defense and Whu Xiang.

Iron Defense sighed, glancing at Shen Fei, who was merely playing with Su Muyu’s fingers.

Su Muyu’s cheeks were slightly flushed; though somewhat shy, she didn’t pull away.

"We admit defeat this time."

Iron Defense let out a sigh too, his form disappearing as well, and Whu Xiang hurriedly departed too, unaware that the entire scene had been broadcast live.

...

’Crack~’

Wu Family.

Whu Mo watched the TV, seeing Whu Xiang being tortured, a furious expression on his face, subconsciously squeezing his palm, turning the ceramic cup into powder.

Steaming tea rolled across the back of Whu Mo’s hand yet left no trace.

"That Shen Fei truly bullies too much!!!"

Whu Mo shook his hand, speaking coldly: "Summon someone!"

"Patriarch!"

A silhouette stepped out from the corner, respectfully speaking.

"Prepare gifts, and deliver them to Shencheng City once Shen Fei returns. Say it’s an apology from the Wu Family for our disrespect..."

"Patriarch? But, given how the young master was humiliated..." Housekeeper Wu cautiously said, knowing well the patriarch’s fondness for the young master.

Even in the instance, Whu Xiang was treated like that, yet Whu Mo planned to send an apology?

"Do you think I’m foolish? Shen Fei not only has the backing of the Su Family, but he’s definitely caught the eye of someone high-ranking. If the Wu Family harbors any thoughts against Shen Fei, we’ll surely attract trouble." Whu Mo stared at Shen Fei in the live stream.

His eyes narrowed.

"However, secretly spread Shen Fei’s reputation. People will watch him for us." Whu Mo shifted, "As long as he’s talented enough, the more people want to protect him, the more wish for his downfall."

"Understood!"

It’s not just the Wu Family; this broadcast reached over a dozen cities in South China, people initially astonished at whether a high school student could really achieve this.

But someone correlated it with recent news from Shencheng City.

My goodness, there’s really such a high schooler who defies the norms.

Completely thrashing the gifted students from other schools.
