Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 791 He didn't come here to inherit the position of Celestial Master; he could directly seize it.

Lu Jin and Tian Jinzhong withdrew their strength, and only then did the two old men, Lü Ci and Wang Ai, realize the situation around them.

It was discovered that the draw for the second round of qualifying matches had already concluded, and even Zhang Zhiwei had left the stage.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhiwei appeared in time; otherwise, they would have been humiliated.

The two secretly rejoiced.

Especially Wang Ai.

Lu Jin is recognized as one of the two heroes, the strongest under the old master. It's understandable that Lu Ci can't beat him, but Tian Jinzhong is an unknown old man who hasn't made a move in decades. Everyone thinks he's just an ordinary old Taoist. If he sees Lu Jinzhong being suppressed and forced to retreat, then he's doomed.
"Humph!"

Lu Ci and Wang Ai snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"Sigh, Lao Lu, why are you so irritable?"

"I can't stand seeing those two." Lu Jin snorted twice, as if he hadn't had enough. "Back then, they were partly responsible for harming my brother."

"They're partly responsible for what happened to me too!"

If Lu Jin's actions were merely to avenge his brother, then he was still indirectly involved; Tian Jinzhong, however, was a direct victim. He declared vehemently, "Normally, I don't go down from the mountain, so it's fine, but these two old geezers actually dared to come here today! I'll break one of their claws each, and let's see if they can recover!"

“Although they are all among those who covet the Eight Extraordinary Skills, they are still two separate groups…” Zhang Zhiwei understood perfectly well that Lü Ci and Wang Ai dared not provoke Longhu Mountain. However, considering that Wang Ai had even dared to hire someone to rob and kill He Songling when he was young, Tian Jinzhong’s targeting of him was not entirely unfounded.

The problem is that there were simply too many and too powerful people involved. Tian Jinzhong was captured and tortured before he even saw the mastermind. To this day, he himself cannot be certain which faction or group was responsible. Whether Wang Ai was innocent remains to be seen.

"Forget it, I don't care anymore. These bastards will get their comeuppance sooner or later." Lu Jin suddenly thought that He Songling had now resurrected, and his methods were truly ruthless, far better than when he beat up Lü Ci. So he turned and left.

"Huh? Opening odds?"

Meanwhile, the young people who had finished drawing lots were gathering in small groups. Zhang Chulan noticed someone arguing and went over to investigate.

"Hey, Zhang Chulan, how about a move?" Fatty Canglong immediately stopped arguing with Bai Shixue, his eyes gleaming with greed.

"This is a website that Fatty uses to collect information on people with supernatural abilities. I've set up betting odds for this conference on it. You can place your bets on whoever you think is good, or you can bet on yourself."

Bai Shixue said angrily, "But this fat man is blinded by lust and has bet everything on that little girl Lu Linglong. Sooner or later he'll be sold off."

"One to one hundred odds? Am I really that unpopular?" Zhang Chulan's face turned pale.

"Nonsense, with your 'defeat the heavens' performance in the first match, who wouldn't want to beat you up? You'd be in big trouble." Upon hearing this, Canglong and Bai Shixue couldn't help but laugh.

"Wow, Zhang Lingyu and Zhuge Qing, both are one-to-one odds. You've collected quite a few. Jia Zhengliang..."

Zhang Chulan continued reading and saw that Canglong was really good at collecting information. Not only did he mark the most powerful and likely to win the championship with the lowest odds, but he also recorded videos of their preferred methods and performances in previous matches and uploaded them to the website.

"Huh? Isn't someone missing?" Zhang Chulan followed the list and noticed it easily; the table was numbered, going up to number thirty-one. "Oh, him." Canglong and Bai Shixue couldn't help but shudder. "Well, forget about him. He's ruthless. If he wants to win, he can win. Whether anyone wins or not depends entirely on whether he wants to win. So, there's no need to consider his odds."

"So powerful, who is it?" Zhang Chulan's heart skipped a beat again.

He had reviewed a lot of the materials prepared by the company beforehand, and he and Feng Baobao had analyzed all the people who posed a threat. How could there be an unexpected expert among them?
"Ling Songhe, you've met him, right? He's the one who sold fake documents before." When Canglong mentioned this name, he and Bai Shixue shuddered again.

"So it was this guy..." Zhang Chulan gritted his teeth, "Then I'm definitely going to give him a piece of my mind!"

"Don't even think about it. Let me put it this way: if he wants to become the Celestial Master, he doesn't need to be the next generation; he can take the throne right now. Even the current Celestial Master Zhang is no match for him." Bai Shixue patted Zhang Chulan's shoulder. "You should be thinking about how to compete for second place."

"Competing for second place? Do you think I'm LeBron James, the American basketball legend? There's no such shameless person in our community!" It's hard to imagine that someone who was recognized as "shameless" by almost the entire community in just a day and a half would actually mock others for being shameless, and yet no one refuted him.

This demonstrates the man's talent.

"But there's nothing we can do. It's the second one. So many people want it, but we can't get it." Canglong pursed his lips, exchanged contact information with Zhang Chulan, sent him the website address, and then the two left.

The next day arrived quickly, and the real qualifying matches officially began.

"I surrender!" On the field, He Songling, who was fighting for the first time, had his opponent raise his hands and surrender one second after the Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain announced the start of the match.

It wasn't that his opponent had witnessed He Songling's strength; rather, He Songling, wanting to watch the show, deliberately cheated by drawing a low-ranking lot. He himself substituted for a superhuman named Cai Lu, while his opponent was Ling, a mercenary from the Lu family.

He was also there when he was being trained at the Lu family.

The old man immediately raised his hands in surrender, fearing that if he hesitated even a second longer, he would suffer inhumane treatment again.

"Sigh, you don't have to be like this. At least let me give you some pointers." He Songling was quite annoyed that his opponent had surrendered so easily.

"Alright, He... well, Ling Songhe, I know you too well, you've been holding back for a beating." Ling said this and ran off in a flash.

"How boring." He Songling put his hands in his pockets and looked into the distance. "How about we go beat up Lü Ci for fun?"

The other battles were uneventful; those who were meant to advance did, and these younger players began to show their prowess. However, there were no memorable moments, and He Songling didn't bother participating.

Although the Lu family members had undergone special training by He Songling, as Lu Jin had requested, He Songling had only enhanced their fighting awareness and willpower; they still couldn't defeat those they were destined to lose.

Because of his enhanced power, Canglong nearly electrocuted Zhang Lingyu into a charred corpse; no matter how much Wang Ergou improved, he still couldn't defeat Feng Baobao, who possessed a celestial body. As for the others, Yun yielded to Lu Linglong; Zhi Jinhua also yielded after analyzing the entire Fengsha Yan.

and also……

"noob?"

Everyone turned around and saw Bai Shixue with a grim expression.
