Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

"Of course! Before this Grand Tournament began, Dragon was the most popular choice to win. I met him once at a crossover event and he left a deep impression on me."

Zuo Chang then said, "Dragon was indeed defeated by me."

really!

Even Dragon lost to him, so it's only natural that they, as half-demons, couldn't defeat him!

The half-demon bowed and said, "My name is Kepper. May I ask how you are addressed?"

"I am Zuo Chang, from 96511."

96511...

Kepper noted down this community, and then said, "The next cross-sector exchange conference is about to begin, and I'm sure you'll receive an invitation. I hope to have a drink with you then and make some friends."

Without hesitation, it voluntarily gave up the competition.

With a flash of light, Kepel, along with the other two half-demons, escaped the battle for the Grand Order.

Zuo Chang asked in his mind, "Is this the power of your 'Deceptive Path'?"

"Yes and no."

The evils of war are very objective.

"The power of deception does indeed have the ability to soften the fighting spirit of others and make the enemy give up the idea of ​​resistance. However, to do this, you must first 'create momentum'. Your previous performance was too amazing, and your combat ability was beyond doubt, which is why we are in the current situation."

"To be precise, whether or not you have the power of unorthodox methods, you will win. The process may be a bit more complicated, but the outcome will not change."

Zuo Chang looked at the demonic sword in his hand but did not speak immediately.

Honestly speaking—

The journey to the Ascended World was actually smoother than in the game.

Having only been here for a month, every step I've taken has yielded significant results.

In terms of combat power, as long as it's on the territory of the Five-Digit Community, Zuo Chang simply doesn't know how he could lose.

In this Grand Rank battle, which is limited to "seven realms," it's like wolves among sheep, with the main objective being indiscriminate slaughter!

"Grandma Cat, have you decided who to keep?"

Zuo Chang turned to look at Granny Cat and smiled.

He continued brazenly, "Of course, you can also refuse my goodwill and insist on fighting me. Just consider it as me meddling in your affairs and quelling an internal strife for nothing!"

Oh, that little bastard...

Grandma Cat didn't bother arguing with Zuo Chang; she turned to look at her juniors.

Clearly, Zuo Chang's actions were beneficial.

The "deceptive power" of the War Demon spread, affecting not only half-demons but also half-orcs.

They looked at each other, none of them possessing the confidence and courage they had at the beginning.

Its flickering eyes held a hint of timidity, its ears no longer perked up, and its tail no longer wagged.

Granny Cat was unaffected by the evil power, but her subordinates had lost their will to fight, and continuing the fight would be futile.

But who should be kept?

Her gaze swept over the group of younger generation members. The three, led by the Lion King of the Southern Territory, were all young prodigies, each with outstanding abilities and illustrious family backgrounds. Any one of them was qualified to become a "Grand Warrior".

but……

There is only one spot available.

As I hesitated, some unpleasant memories flooded back.

She moved her feet and slowly walked to Zuo Chang's side: "General, squat down."

"??"

Zuo Chang looked down at her and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Squat down to speak."

Grandma Cat waved her hand.

What is this routine?

Zuo Chang was puzzled, but he still squatted down.

Grandma Cat darted closer, her movements surprisingly agile for someone of her age. She lowered her voice and asked, "What should we do? Who should I keep?"

How could Zuo Chang know?

Zuo Chang was unaware of the situation of their community.

He didn't want to get involved, and simply said, "You can keep whoever you want. You're a Seven Treasures General, can't you even make a decision on such a small matter?"

Grandma Cat sighed softly, sounding rather helpless.

She began, “It’s not scarcity that’s the problem, but inequality. The reason I was imprisoned was because some clans felt they were being treated differently. Although our 168 community is martial and respects the strong, there are still differences in public sentiment. I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes, so I’d like to ask for your opinion.”

Ah this.

Zuo Chang remained silent.

Grandma Cat continued, "Logically speaking, the Southern Lion King, being the champion of the previous 'Seven Realms Grand Tournament,' is the most deserving to stay. However, the title of 'Grand Champion' is also a powerful temptation for us orcs! The Azure Lion Clan is not small in power, but the Frostwolf Clan and the Vulture Clan are equally formidable. I'm worried..."

Ugh.

Life is not easy, Maomao sighed.

She looked at Zuo Chang, her blue, vertical-shaped eyes filled with helplessness: "The effects of the war a few years ago have not yet been eradicated. If another internal conflict breaks out, it will be difficult to keep the 168 seats."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Chang understood Granny Cat's predicament.

As Zuo Chang said earlier.

Cultivating a strong person requires far more than just a talented successor; it also requires a substantial family fortune.

Apart from Zuo Chang and his group, who among those who could participate in the battle for the crown was not extremely wealthy and from a distinguished family?

Grandma Cat had been beaten before and knew the pain, which is why she seemed timid and hesitant at this moment.

but--

It's just this clone.

If it were any of the other clones, those clones with cultivation levels as high as the fifteenth realm, whose abilities, experience, and decision-making were impeccable, would never have come to ask Zuo Chang for his judgment.

Zuo Chang suddenly raised his hand and touched Granny Cat's face.

"Meow!!"

Grandma Cat...

No.

Or rather, the cat-like girl slapped Zuo Chang's palm with her paw: "What are you doing? I spent so much time and effort putting on my makeup..."

He's disfigured.

The wrinkles on her face disappeared, replaced by skin as smooth and white as a peeled egg.

Zuo Chang raised his hand and ripped off the cat-like girl's "mask," revealing her true appearance:

A youthful face that looks no more than twelve years old.

Zuo Chang looked at the face powder in his hand and laughed, "You look so much better now, why did you have to wear such ugly makeup?"

"That's not very steady!"

The cat-like girl turned her head and looked at Zuo Chang's men.

Including Mayumi, the three of them had their red lips slightly parted, and their gazes toward the cat loli were no longer restrained or respectful;

The cat-like girl turned her head again to look at the Southern Lion King and the other orcs.

The orcs looked at the cat-like girl with doting expressions, their affection overflowing.

The cat girl is furious!

She raised her hands high, clenched her small fists, and shouted, "You bastard general! You've ruined all my dignity!"

The Pure Love Warrior chapter is only 233, which feels like a mockery of the Pure Love Warrior; it's quite strange.

Chapter 236 Relative Pampering

Grandma Cat's abilities are very special. The reason why this "loli clone" is only at the seventh realm is not because of any seventh realm martial arts competition.

mainly--

Granny Cat's talent, "Nine Lives of a Cat," links her cultivation level to the number of her clones.

One clone is equivalent to the cultivation level of the twelfth realm.

Nine clones, totaling 108 realms of cultivation. Granny Cat can freely distribute the cultivation; each clone can possess a maximum of 15 realms, and the total cultivation of all clones cannot exceed 108.

The superiority of a cat's ability to survive nine lives is beyond doubt.

An adventurer can only become a top master of the fifteenth realm in his entire life.

However, under the influence of her talent and with extreme cultivation allocation, Granny Cat can at most become "7.2" masters of the fifteenth realm!

With a score of 7.2 to 1, the superiority or inferiority is self-evident.

The "Cat Lolita" only had seven realms of cultivation, and the five realms of cultivation she saved were taken up by her other clones.

Compared to the other clones' decisiveness in killing, the cat loli has less experience in combat and it's inevitable that she hesitates and thinks before acting when faced with a situation.

Zuo Chang simply said, "If you have any concerns, then you can stay."

Keep it for yourself?

The cat-like girl's ears perked up, looking somewhat incredulous: "The bonus from being a Grand Hero is meaningless to me. The reason I'm only at the seventh level is because my skills and tactics aren't up to par, unlike the other 'me's. Even if I had the title of Grand Hero, it wouldn't make a difference. Besides, if I stay behind personally, wouldn't I offend three factions at once?!"

Zuo Chang said expressionlessly, "Just say that I chose it."

"it is good."

The cat-like girl immediately agreed.
