Chapter 263: I'll Turn This Sky Upside Down! Everyone's Making a Killing? (Part 1)
Chapter 263: I'll Turn This Sky Upside Down! Everyone's Making a Killing? (Part 1)
At this moment, Ji Haoyue could only think of cursing, "Your mother's dog fart!"
What the hell is this nonsense about not being able to prove your sincerity if you don't offer enough?
When working for the Holy Land, who would dare to pay lip service or act one way in front and another behind?
What bullshit is this?
However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, and with his own cheerful demeanor, Ji Haoyue couldn't lose his temper. He could only suppress the anger in his heart and began to 'explain'.
But before he could even open his mouth, Qu SiFei spoke up first, "That makes sense!"
"I think Elder Rao's words are very reasonable!"
"Exactly."
"Strength only represents our ability, so strength is necessary. But strength alone is not enough, sincerity is also required to reassure the White-Black Academy."
"Therefore, I believe that we should show both sincerity and strength!"
"Only by doing both can we make the best choice!"
Qu SiFei spoke with a smile, his face filled with righteousness.
He spoke with such fervor and enthusiasm, as if he was thinking of others and others were thinking of him, without a trace of selfishness, and only had the best interests of the White-Black Academy in mind.
As soon as these words were spoken.
Qian Yinyang and Zhou Kai's mouths twitched.
Ji Haoyue's face turned green, and he looked at Qu SiFei with an expression of disbelief.
"What the hell, you?!"
"What's wrong with you?!"
"What are you playing at?!"
Ji Haoyue had arrived late.
He had no idea what Qu SiFei and the others had experienced before, and because of this, he couldn't understand why Qu SiFei was acting this way.
Isn't this guy crazy? Who would willingly give up their advantage?
Moreover, the White-Black Academy wouldn't even get this benefit. In other words, are you licking the Moon Embrace Sect's boots?!
Have you gone mad?
You, as the Beast Control Sect, are licking the Moon Embrace Sect's boots?
Isn't this...
Are you still the Qu SiFei I know?
Now you're being so generous to us?
In the past, when we did business together and I led a team to your Beast Control Sect to purchase Spirit Beasts, you wouldn't budge on the price, treating us like skinning a cat. And now you're acting like this?
You're insane!!!
Ji Haoyue's expression was extraordinary, and his gaze at Qu SiFei was even more intense.
His mind was filled with questions.
Qu SiFei, seeing Ji Haoyue almost at his breaking point, smiled slightly and continued, "After all, this is such a major matter, we can't afford to be careless! Don't you agree, Elder Ji?"
"Additionally..."
"What do you all think?"
Ji Haoyue's face twitched.
You're not only trying to scam others, but you also want to drag everyone else down with you, right?
Beast!
You're a beast!
Qian Yinyang and Zhou Kai looked at each other...
Qian Yinyang was still hesitating, unsure of who would benefit from this 'advantage'.
But unexpectedly, Zhou Kai suddenly spoke up, "I also think this is the right thing to do!!!"
"Elder Zhou? You too...?!"
Ji Haoyue was completely stunned.
The smile on his face had turned into a bitter expression.
He had a million curses in his mind, unsure if he should say them or not.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, was almost laughing out loud.
If not, why do you think I insisted on letting them 'take a look'? At the same time, he even went a step further, using divine sense to transmit his thoughts to 'Old Six', saying, "Sixth Elder, what do you think?"
"Hmm."
"A 30-70 split."
"This 30%..."
"How to handle it is entirely up to you, Sixth Elder."
Upon hearing this, Old Six immediately understood, but frowned and replied, "This is unreasonable!"
"How could I be someone who takes advantage of others and is willing to do anything for personal gain?"
"How dare you look down on me like this?"
"You're infuriating me!!!"
"If you dare to speak nonsense again, I'll make this matter public, and you..."
Old Six's voice was filled with anger, but Lin Fan remained calm and even felt like laughing.
Make it public?
Get angry?
If you're truly angry, why not just 'forget it' and have a private chat with me?
You clearly want more!
This advantage is obviously not meant to be handed over to the White-Black Academy, and you can keep it for yourself. Moreover, they are competing, so the benefits they offer won't be small...
Lin Fan has never disliked greedy people like this.
After all, if you're not greedy, how can I motivate you? How can I control you?
Is it because of love? Or my body?
Pfft! It's because the benefits are real!
"40-60," Lin Fan replied with just two words.
"You little..."
Old Six's transmission was filled with anger, as if he was about to explode, but... three seconds later, he suddenly burst out laughing, "You really know people!"
Tsk.
This taste, a little scratch and it's all over.
Lin Fan smiled, "Then I'll trouble you, Sixth Elder."
"It's a small matter."
Seeing that Ji Haoyue was still arguing and Qian Yinyang was hesitating, Old Six cleared his throat, "Since this is the case, let's settle it this way."
"What you said also makes sense."
"Moreover, the minority should follow the majority, there's no problem with that."
"Five sects are competing, and three have already agreed. What about you two? If you disagree, then let the other three sects handle this matter."
"Their strength is indeed impressive."
"With such sincerity, I believe they will satisfy me."
Upon hearing this, Qian Yinyang panicked.
Damn it, this is a rare opportunity to climb the White-Black Academy's tree, how could I let it pass?!
"Sixth Elder's words are very reasonable!"
"I also agree with this!"
Ji Haoyue: "???!"
You...
Damn it!
You bastards!!!
Ji Haoyue clenched his fists tightly, and although he hadn't given any benefits yet, his heart was bleeding.
It's not that he was stingy or that the Bright Moon Sect couldn't afford it.
If these 'sincerities' were to be given to the White-Black Academy, he would have readily agreed, and might have even offered more without hesitation.
The benefits were clearly intended for the Moon-Embracing Sect, and now they had to work for them, earning money on their behalf. Before that, they also had to provide a substantial 'sincerity deposit'.
This was outright absurd!
It was truly unfair!
Ji HaoYue truly didn't want to give in.
But at this moment, all four families had agreed. If his family didn't comply...
Then there would be no place for them in this matter.
If he backed down now, wouldn't he become a laughingstock?
He would come, laugh, and flaunt his prowess...
And then leave like a beggar, tail between his legs.
No!
I must endure!
Enduring...
Lu Ming quickly whispered from the side, "Lord."
"A small act of forbearance can ruin a grand plan."
"This matter is of utmost importance, and we must not act rashly..."
"This Lord understands."
Ji HaoYue's face twitched, feeling more miserable than if he had eaten a dead rat. But he could only grit his teeth and say, "Elder Six's words are reasonable. I also believe... that we should demonstrate sincerity."
"But if we are to demonstrate sincerity and compete in strength..."
"What is the ratio of these two factors?"
"How should they be prioritized?"
"It's simple."
Lin Fan was more than happy to explain to Ji HaoYue, "A point system."
"Each will be calculated separately, with a one to five-point scale."
"The most sincere will get five points, the least sincere will get one point, and so on."
"The strongest will also get five points, the weakest will get one point."
"Finally, we will add up the points from both categories, and the top three ranked sects will be our chosen partners."
"Yes, that's it!" Elder Six nodded, supporting Lin Fan.
Although...
This was the first time he had heard of such a 'peculiar' competition format.
"Do any of you have questions?" Lin Fan looked at the five of them.
Although his face seemed a bit dark at the moment, Ji HaoYue's face was even darker.
Rao ZhiRou smiled and said, "The Spirit Sword Sect has no questions."
Qu SiFei followed, "The Beast Control Sect is the same."
Zhou Kai nodded, "The Moon-Embracing Sect also has no issues."
Qian Yinyang was the fourth to express agreement, "The Great Harmony Palace is also fine."
After that, everyone looked at Ji HaoYue, their faces filled with amusement.
Everyone knew that the Bright Moon Sect and the Moon-Embracing Sect had a deep grudge.
And the hatred ran deep! Now, Ji HaoYue was forced to give benefits to the Moon-Embracing Sect, and it was likely to be a substantial amount, which made them all want to laugh.
It wasn't that they all held a grudge against the Bright Moon Sect or enjoyed kicking them while they were down.
But...
Who the hell told you to suddenly jump in and compete with us?
You like to see people laugh, right? Ji HaoYue forced himself to regain his composure and said, "No questions."
"Good, then let's begin."
"However, I believe that using an auction to demonstrate sincerity is not advisable. Instead... let's each write down our 'sincerity' and submit it to me."
"Then, we can start the strength competition."
"Finally, I will publicly announce everyone's 'sincerity' and calculate the points."
"This way, it will be more straightforward and save some time."
"What do you think?"
"That's excellent!" Elder Six once again expressed his support.
Everyone looked at Ji HaoYue.
Ji HaoYue: "..."
What the hell are you all looking at me for?
What the hell else can I say? Ji HaoYue's mental state was on the verge of collapse.
But as he said...
What else could he say? He could only grit his teeth and agree!
After that, he wrote down his 'sincerity'.
As for sincerity, everyone knew it meant giving 'money' and 'resources'.
I'll give it!
But in order to earn more points, he couldn't give too little.
Fortunately, he could also earn points through strength, and as long as he was in the top three overall, everything would be fine. This way, he didn't have to give too much...
Ji HaoYue breathed a slight sigh of relief.
After submitting the list to Lin Fan, Ji HaoYue asked, "What about strength? How will that be determined?"
"It can't be that we directly engage in a free-for-all, can it?"
"That wouldn't be appropriate."
Lin Fan hummed, "All of you are leaders of your sects, and your strength is formidable. If we truly fight, the Immortal Martial Arts are unpredictable. If someone gets injured... humph."
"Although I would like to see a certain someone get beaten to death, this is not appropriate."
Ji HaoYue sneered, "This Lord has no fear."
"Do you want a medal?"
Lin Fan gave him a sidelong glance and then said, "I see that you have brought your Celestial Pride disciples."
"Why not let them fight and determine the order?"
Ji HaoYue frowned, "Lord Lin, your eyes are not so good at such a young age?"
"This Lord did not bring junior disciples."
"Oh, your sect's saint was killed..."
As soon as Lin Fan opened his mouth, Ji HaoYue almost couldn't help but curse.
"Never mind."
"Although you didn't bring disciples, Lu Ming is under thirty years old, so young. I believe that as a representative of the younger generation, he can fight with the Celestial Pride disciples of the other four sects. You all have no objections, right?"
Qian Yinyang and the others frowned.
Lu Ming's strength...
It was a bit outrageous! Even if it was just hearsay, they didn't have much confidence in their own disciples.
However, Elder Six once again supported the idea, leaving them feeling helpless and having to agree.
Ji HaoYue almost laughed out loud.
Lu Ming was going to fight? That was a sure win!
Then, he felt a bit dejected.
If he had known...
If he had known, he would have written less sincerity and let Lu Ming go all out! Giving so many benefits to the Moon-Embracing Sect was a waste.
...
After that, preparations for the battle began.
The Bright Moon Sect sent Lu Ming, who remained calm.
The Spirit Sword Sect sent Sword Son, who was extremely excited, his hand trembling as he held his sword.
"This Sword Son will definitely avenge the past humiliation today!"
The Great Harmony Palace sent their first sequence disciple.
The Beast Control Sect sent their second sequence disciple, as their first sequence was in seclusion.
The Five Elements Gate sent their 'Fire Element Woman'.
After finalizing the selection, Rao ZhiRou looked left and right, frowned slightly, and then said, "Disciple, can you do it?"
"Otherwise..."
"Let San Ye go?"
Jian Zi: "Huh?"
"Master, I can do it!"
Jian Zi grew anxious: "Moreover, San Ye is not even a disciple of our Spirit Sword Sect, and he's not even human..."
"Furthermore, you can't possibly ask San Ye to fight his master, can you?"
Rao ZhiRou sighed helplessly. Looking at San Ye, who was flirting with Lu Ming, she felt torn.
She had been so good to that little guy...
But he always had his master on his mind.
"Forget it, just be careful."
"Yes, Master."
...
"The personnel have been finalized, but their strength is not weak either. If a fight breaks out, the destructive power will be quite astonishing. Our Moon Embracing Sect is small and can't afford such turmoil."
"Sixth Elder, what do you think?"
Lin Fan looked at Elder Six for help.
After taking my benefits, how can they not contribute? No free rides!
Elder Six was a good-natured person, and he immediately said, "No problem. With me here, let them do as they please. I won't let anything happen to the Moon Embracing Sect."
"That's naturally great."
Lin Fan smiled: "Everyone, prepare to take action."
"However, this battle is a friendly spar, not a life-or-death fight. So, stop at the first point of contact."
"There's no need to be so troublesome."
Elder Six waved his hand: "With me here, no one will die! Go all out, fight to the death, and show your true colors."
As a Ninth Stage powerhouse, he had the confidence to say this.
Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Ji HaoYue had originally wanted to drag the Moon Embracing Sect into the fight and have Lin Fan send a disciple to participate, but with Elder Six's words, he didn't bother to say anything.
Since Elder Six would intervene, and they wouldn't kill anyone anyway, why bother with the hassle?
"Let's have a free-for-all battle."
Elder Six seemed a bit bored: "The longer you can last, the higher your ranking will be."
He was a person from the Holy Land, and he had seen too many Celestial Prides. He wasn't impressed by these first-rank disciples from top-tier sects, the Celestial Prides, and so on.
He didn't think they could be that formidable.
As for the rumors...
The rumors weren't even from the Holy Land. How much had they seen of the Celestial Prides?
...
"Forgive me."
Lu Ming drew his sword.
"I've been waiting for this!" Jian Zi's entire body trembled: "Back then, I challenged you, but at that time, I lacked the foundation to have the qualifications to challenge you."
"A few years have passed, and I've been diligently cultivating."
"I've made great progress, please guide me!"
However, Lu Ming remained calm and said, "I believe that you still don't have the qualifications to challenge me."
"But today, there will be a battle, so I'll give you this chance."
"Go ahead and defeat all three of them."
"Then I'll admit that you have the qualifications to challenge me."
"Arrogant!!!"
The second-in-command of the Beast Control Sect, the Fire Attribute of the Five Elements Palace, and the first-in-command of the Great Harmony Palace all became furious: "Kid, do you really think you're the big bad wolf?"
"Come over here, and I'll defeat you in three moves!"
"Who do you think you are?"
They rebuked him.
As Celestial Prides, none of them were willing to back down.
Lu Ming's arrogance enraged them, and they couldn't calm down.
"Who do you think you are?"
Lu Ming smiled: "Arrogant?"
"I'm not even thirty, younger than all three of you, but I've already reached the pinnacle of alchemy. As for the Sword Dao, I've immersed myself deeply in it. The battle in the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty has already proven my strength."
"Defeating an Eighth Stage powerhouse is nothing to me."
"In my opinion, none of you are worthy opponents."
"My opponents..."
"Are the elders, the Ninth Stage powerhouses, the Sixth Elder, the Holy Sons and Daughters from the Holy Land..."
"The ones I want to defeat..."
Lu Ming suddenly raised his sword and pointed it at the sky: "Are the heavens themselves!"
Boom!
A thunderous roar echoed.
Lu Ming showed no fear and didn't retreat in the slightest.
"And what are you?"
Under the backdrop of the heavenly thunder, he appeared exceptionally sacred and invincible.
The three of them were instantly startled, feeling numb.
They were intimidated by Lu Ming's aura, and for a moment, they were filled with doubt.
"You want to challenge me?"
"You're not worthy."
"Take action!"
Lu Ming calmly said, "Only the final winner among you will have the qualifications to challenge me."
"Defeat the others, stand at the end, and then come to me for guidance!"
The three of them: "!!!"
They were both shocked and angry, wanting to refute, but Jian Zi suddenly popped out and said, "Lu Ming, you have a friendly spirit!"
"But this qualification, I want it!"
"You three, come and fight!"
"Nonsense!" The first-in-command of the Great Harmony Palace glared: "What gives you the right? This qualification belongs to me!"
"It belongs to me!" The Fire Attribute woman clenched her teeth.
"Hmph, do you want to fight me too? Ask my spirit beasts first!"
The second-in-command of the Beast Control Sect suddenly slapped his storage bag, and in an instant, a large number of spirit beasts roared out: "Take this!"
A fierce battle erupted.
The four of them fought in a free-for-all!
Lu Ming stood by the side, 'watching the show'.
The battle was quite spectacular.
But...
The four sect leaders were sweating profusely, and some even had to support their foreheads with one hand...
It was unbearable to watch.
It was simply unwatchable!
"These idiots..."
Zhou Kai was speechless.
Qian Yinyang looked up at the sky and was also speechless.
"Sigh."
Qu SiFei sighed: "Is there a problem with our sect's education?"
"We focus too much on cultivating spirit beasts and forget to cultivate their intelligence..."
"Falling for such a simple trick is simply..."
The Spirit Mountain trembled! The Fire Attribute woman unleashed a sea of fire with her first move.
Jian Zi unleashed various sword techniques, one after another, as if even the sky itself had been sliced open.
