Chapter 985 - Tian Ji's Strategy for a Horse Racing

Chapter 985 Tian Ji’s Strategy for a Horse Racing

Although everyone’s mood hit rock bottom due to Rosefinch Academy’s defeat, the competition still had to go on. In the second competition, the Tiger Academy was up against the Dragon Academy.

As the champion of the last exchange conference, the Dragon Academy urgently needed a victory to prove itself.

After the competition began, Li Mengyao let Pang Ban compete in the first round.

On the Tiger Academy’s side, the leader’s name was Lei Wanjun who was also the Strong at the middle stage of the Combination Realm.

The Tiger Academy and the Dragon Academy were old rivals. Over the years, they had been strong contenders for the championship. Lei Wanjun had lost to Li Mengyao in the exchange conference last year, so the Tiger Academy won second place.

However, they came prepared today. With the help of a special method, there were already four masters at the middle stage of the Combination Realm in their team, and their overall strength was stronger than the Dragon Academy’s.

When he saw Pang Ban going up to the arena, he waved his hand and asked a teammate to compete with Pang Ban.

The teammate he sent out had reached the middle stage of the Combination Realm, while Pang Ban was only at the early stage of the Combination Realm.

Due to the great disparity in their cultivation, this round was completely one-sided. Pang Ban barely withstood two moves and was kicked out of the arena by the third move.

The difference in strength was too great, so there was no suspense at all.

Then, the Dragon Academy sent Zhao Long to compete in the second round. Lei Wanjun sent another teammate whose cultivation was the middle stage of the Combination Realm.

The result of this round was exactly the same as that of the last round. In less than three moves, Zhao Long was knocked out of the arena. The Tiger Academy won two rounds in succession.

“The Tiger Academy is so fierce. I think the champion this year…”

“What’s wrong with the Dragon Academy? They’re completely weak…”

When Li Mengyao heard these words, her face darkened immediately.

As last year’s champion, she was not willing to lose just like that. She went up to the arena and wanted to compete in the third round.

She looked over shouted at the Tiger Academy, “Lei Wanjun, you lost to me last year. Do you have the courage to compete with me again this year?”

Lei Wanjun just smiled. “Your Highness, we’ve already won two rounds in a row. There’s no need to fight against a master like you.”

After that, he waved his hand and a teammate of the Tiger Academy went up to the arena. However, this person was only at the early stage of the Combination Realm.

The situation changed. Although the strength of the two people in the arena was also unequal, it was the Tiger Academy’s teammate who was knocked out of the arena this time.

Although the Tiger Academy had lost one round, Lei Wanjun showed no signs of being worried.

Getting one point back finally, Li Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief. However, she didn’t dare to relax. The powerful Lu Mingju was sent out to compete in the fourth round.

On the Tiger Academy’s side, they also sent out a master at the middle stage of the Combination Realm, whose name was Gao Zaixing.

Both of them had the same cultivation that was the middle stage of the Combination Realm. So far in the competition, this was, at last, a wonderful battle to watch. The battle between the two masters was very amazing, which made the spectators become worked up.

This round lasted for more than half an hour. In the end, Lu Mingju, relying on the advantage of one move, knocked her opponent off the arena with one palm. The score was 2:2.

The Little Witch sat next to Qin Haodong and said, “Little Brother, who do you think will win, the Tiger Academy or the Dragon Academy?”

Qin Haodong said, “There is no doubt that the Tiger Academy will win. That is because Li Mengyao is stupid.”

The Little Witch said in surprise, “What do you mean? I don’t understand. Wasn’t Li Mengyao very smart when she played tricks on us?”

Niu Cuihua also came over to watch the competition. She sat on the other side of Qin Haodong and asked, “Yes, hubby, why did you say that the person from the Dragon Academy is stupid?”

Qin Haodong said, “Then I’ll tell you a story. The name of the story is ‘Tian Ji’s strategy for horse racing’.

“In the past, there was a general called Tian Ji. He was very fond of horse racing. Once, he competed with the King. Their horses were divided into high-grade, medium-grade and low-grade horses.

“During the competition, the two of them raced their high-grade horse versus high-grade horse in the first round, raced their medium-grade horse versus medium-grade horse in the second round, and raced their low-grade horse versus low-grade horse in the third round. In the end, after three rounds of competition, Tian Ji’s horses were all defeated by the King’s.

“At that moment, Tian Ji’s good friend, Sun Bin, told him that the King’s horses didn’t run much faster than his.

“Tian Ji said discontentedly that Sun Bin mocked him because he had lost.

“Sun Bin said that he was not mocking Tian Ji. He gave Tian Ji an assurance that his horses would win as long as Tian Ji competed with the King again.

“Tian Ji asked Sun Bin if he had better horses.

“Sun Bin shook his head and said that he would win with the same horses.

“Tian Ji did not believe and said that this was impossible and he would still lose if he competed again.

“Sun Bin said confidently that Tian Ji would win if Tian Ji did as he said.

“Thus, Tian Ji and the King began their second round of horse racing.

“According to Sun Bin’s request, Tian Ji used his low-grade horse versus the King’s high-grade horse. As a result, Tian Ji lost the first round.

“In the second round, Tian Ji used his high-grade horse versus the King’s medium-grade horse. Tian Ji won this round.

“In the third round, Tian Ji used his medium-grade horse versus the King’s low-grade horse. Tian Ji also won the round.

“In the end, according to the rule, two wins out of three, Tian Ji won the championship of the whole competition.

“The King was dumbfounded this time. He didn’t understand how it was that the horses were the same but the results were different.”

The Little Witch was very smart and said immediately, “Little Brother, you mean that the Tiger Academy was using ‘Tian Ji’s strategy for horse racing’?”

Niu Cuihua said, “Hubby, I still don’t understand. Quick, tell me.”

Qin Haodong said, “In terms of strength, the Tiger Academy has four masters at the middle stage of the Combination Realm, while the Dragon Academy only has two.

“However, Li Mengyao and Lu Mingju were more powerful than the Tiger Academy’s members, so the Tiger Academy would have to lose two rounds.

“Lei Wanjun, who lost last year, was very clear about this. If the Tiger Academy’s two remaining masters at the middle stage of the Combination Realm won, the score would be 2:2.

“The final result would be decided by a member at the early stage of the Combination Realm. Obviously, this was not what Lei Wanjun wanted.

“Therefore, he used ‘Tian Ji’s strategy for horse racing’ and skillfully avoided Li Mengyao and Lu Mingju. He would compete in the last and key round.

“Although the score is 2:2 now, victory is in his hands.”

“Hubby, you know a lot. I am simply filled with admiration for you,” Niu Cuihua said and hugged Qin Haodong’s arm tightly.

This action enabled Qin Haodong to feel the movement of her perky bosom.

“Uh…”

Qin Haodong hurriedly said, “Let’s watch the competition. The result should be out soon.”

They turned their attention to the arena again. Lei Wanjun looked with disdain at the Dragon Academy’s rep who was at the early stage of the Combination Realm.

As soon as the referee announced the start of the round, Lei Wanjun kicked his opponent off the arena.

Seeing that she had lost the whole competition, Li Mengyao’s face turned livid. She realized that she had fallen into Lei Wanjun’s trap, but it was too late for regrets.

She used to be a very intelligent woman. Unfortunately, Li Tianba hadn’t come back for two days, which troubled her greatly. That was why Lei Wanjun had this opportunity.

Seeing that his students had won, Song Tian was overjoyed. In his opinion, they had already won half of the championship after winning against the Dragon Academy.

It was almost noon when the two competitions ended. After a short rest, the competition in the afternoon started.

According to the rules, the two winning academies had to compete with each other, while the two losing academies would do the same.

The third competition was the Tortoise Academy versus the Tiger Academy. The fourth competition was the Rosefinch Academy versus the Dragon Academy.

After defeating the Dragon Academy, Lei Wanjun had tasted the benefits of “Tian Ji’s strategy for horse racing” and decided to use this strategy when competing with the Tortoise Academy.

After seeing the previous competition, he knew that Qin Haodong and the Little Witch Luo Hongying were the strongest. He only needed to avoid competing with them.

The Tortoise Academy did not have such scruples at all. After the start of the competition, Qin Haodong sent Tu Jiaojiao out to compete in the first round.

The Tiger Academy sent out a formidable person at the middle stage of the Combination Realm, too.

Although both of them had the same cultivation, Tu Jiaojiao was still one of the best in the Tortoise Academy. Her cultivation, methods, moves, and experience were superior to her opponent’s.

After more than a dozen moves, Tu Jiaojiao knocked her opponent down with one punch and kicked him off the arena.

Originally, Lei Wanjun’s face was full of joy. When he saw that his teammate had been defeated, his smile immediately disappeared.

So far, four students from the Tortoise Academy had already competed. Each was stronger than the last, and all of them had reached the middle stage of the Combination Realm, which was far beyond his expectation.

That was to say, all his opponents were “high-grade horses”, so he couldn’t use this strategy.

As if confirming his thought, the Tortoise Academy took the initiative to send Murong Jinghong to compete in the second round and defeated a person at the middle stage of the Combination Realm from the Tiger Academy.

Lei Wanjun was completely dumbfounded this time. Three out of five, the Tortoise Academy had already won two rounds, so the Tiger Academy was now in a desperate situation.

Moreover, according to the previous competition between the Rosefinch Academy and the Tortoise Academy in the morning, it was clear that the strongest members of the Tortoise Academy had yet to compete.

Luo Dongqing came to Song Tian and said jokingly, “Geezer Song, haven’t your students eaten yet? Why are they so weak?”

Song Tian snorted. “What’s there to be proud of? The competition isn’t over yet, is it?”

Luo Dongqing laughed. “In my eyes, it’s already over. It seems like your side isn’t strong enough. I’m afraid you won’t even be able to win one round.”

At the crucial moment, Lei Wanjun couldn’t wait any longer. He strode toward the arena and would compete in the third round.

The Little Witch said, “Little Brother, let me compete in this round. This person using Tian Ji’s strategy will be bitten to death by my dog.”

Qin Haodong laughed. “Well, be careful. This guy is very cunning. You must open the Gate of Life as soon as this round starts.”

Right now, he had absolute confidence in the power of the Little Witch. As long as she could summon demonic beasts, no one would be a match for her seventh-level demonic beast.

“Little Brother, don’t worry. I know it well.”

After that, the Little Witch jumped into the arena and said to Lei Wanjun, “I am your opponent, so it’s useless for you to use Tian Ji’s strategy.”

Lei Wanjun was confused. He had never heard of “Tian Ji’s strategy for horse racing”. Naturally, he didn’t understand what she meant.

He had seen the Little Witch’s strength, so he didn’t dare underestimate her in the slightest.

When the referee announced the start of the round, Lei Wanjun quickly attacked the Little Witch. He knew that she was an extremely powerful summoner. The best way was to not give her a chance to summon her demonic beasts.

Unfortunately, he still underestimated the Little Witch who had the Holy Spirit Body. Unlike other summoners, the Little Witch’s summoning speed was not only fast but was not affected by other moves.

After dodging Lei Wanjun’s punch, the Gate of Life slowly opened.

All the spectators present looked at the simple and unsophisticated gate and wanted to see what else the little girl could summon.
