Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

“Yes, that’s right,” Apophis said helplessly.

"The intensity of the Leopard Bumping Battle is unrelated to one's own strength."

"Even the valiant and skilled Lord Wan Di would be defeated in such a war."

"Of course, scholars are actually more suited for this battle."

"A well-balanced lineup and careful observation of the young seals' condition are key to victory."

"We can learn a lot of things in the Leopard Bumping Battle that we wouldn't normally learn."

Looking at Wan Di walking out with Shi Di, Yan Huan couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

I thought he was so powerful, but I never expected him to kneel down alongside his own people...

"?" Wan Di turned around and met Yan Huan's gaze. "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is none of your business." Yan Huan crossed her arms and looked at Wan Di indifferently.

"You've been holding it in at the stall for so long, and you end up taking a huge dump here."

"It was just an accident." Wan Di turned around and said dejectedly:

"As expected, this kind of activity that requires brainpower is not suitable for me."

"Once I sell another hundred baby seals, I'll get a chance to revive the competition."

"Then we'll settle this once and for all."

Watching Wan Di leave, Yan Huan felt speechless.

This is a demigod of conflict, yet he can't even defeat a cook.

In that case, the chef will be my next opponent.

"What a pity, my friend."

After taking Bubble and the other baby seals to a nearby lounge chair for a short rest, the second elimination round began on time.

Yan Huan returned to the competition stage and discovered that the person opposite her was not the mountain chef.

"?"

"What the hell are you?"

It was a dark purple creature that looked like an elf.

It shouted loudly:

"The Mountain Man Darion gave me his place in the competition, so now I am Darion!"

“Look, this is the [silver cup badge] he gave me.”

The thief Bartrus stretched out his small hand, displaying the [Silver Cup Badge] that was exactly the same as Yan Huan's.

"Can competition qualification be transferred?" Yan Huan looked at Apophis.

"That's how the knockout stage works," Apophis said, rubbing his forehead in exasperation.

"To be honest, it was only because someone else transferred the [Silver Cup Badge] that you were able to participate directly in the elimination rounds."

"Although we unfortunately lost in the first round..."

“Exactly!” Thief Spirit Bartrus laughed as he showed off his badge.

"As long as you have the [Silver Cup Badge], you're a player, so there's no problem with my participation."

"So now that I have the badge, I can participate in the competition, while Darian doesn't, so he can't participate."

“Yes, yes.” Apophis nodded repeatedly, then suddenly paused, “No, no…”

Thief Spirit Bartrus laughed:

"Yes, yes..."

Apophis: "No, no!"

Bartluth: "Yes, yes~"

"So you're here! Give me back my badge right now!" A tall figure came running from the crowd.

Yan Huan looked closely and realized that it was indeed the original contestant, Darian.

As a mountain dweller, Yan Huan had no doubt that it could send the thief spirit Bartrus flying with a single slap.

"Hehehe~ So they caught up after all?" Bartrus chuckled wickedly.

"If you want your badge back, catch up with me first!"

"Slip away."

Before everyone's eyes, the thief spirit transformed into a dark purple streak of light and quickly rushed out of the venue.

Apophis looked on nervously, "Damn it, we've been tricked by that thief!"

"Please, Yan Huan, you absolutely have to get Darian's badge back!"

"?" Yan Huan asked in surprise, "Why did you chase after them?"

He calmly looked at Apophis.

"The one who's qualified to participate right now is Darian, not Thief Spirit, right?"

"As the organizer, you have so many badges, why do you have to chase after this one?"

"Since the people of this mountain are the ones who are qualified now, let's just have a competition."

“That makes sense, but so many people are watching…” Apophis looked nervously at the camera.

"Mr. Yan Huan, no, Lord Yan Huan, as you know, the city is not peaceful right now. Some people are causing trouble everywhere and inciting the people..."

"If we let everyone watch the thief escape, what will become of the credibility of our officials..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan felt that there was indeed some truth to it.

Although Elder Katniss is said to have fallen from power, the prosecution team still hasn't been able to arrest her.

Several scapegoats were caught, and their assets were indeed not a small amount.

"Alright, I'll lend a hand then."

Yan Huan raised her hand and snapped her fingers lightly in front of everyone.

'Pa-ta--'

The thief spirit Bartrus instantly appeared on the spot.

"???"

Holding the silver cup badge, it looked around in bewilderment, still somewhat confused about the situation.

"No, didn't I already run away? Why am I suddenly here?"

"I don't know," Yan Huan shrugged. "Maybe you never left at all and are just hallucinating."

[Awesome! Awesome! Awesome... Holy crap! As expected of Lord Yan Huan! How did she do that?!]

[Isn't it obvious? Lord Yan Huan is a demigod of time; he must have reversed time to bring Bartrus back...]

[But I didn't see him chanting any incantations.]

[Ventriloquism, perhaps.]

Bartlus: "..."

Chapter 1411 Strongly request Bubble to withdraw from the competition!

Under the intense gazes of the crowd, Thief Spirit regained his senses and swallowed the [Silver Cup Badge] in one gulp.

"Cough cough...hehehe~"

"Sorry everyone, I unfortunately swallowed this badge. I should be able to get it out if I try hard."

"But you need to give me some time, right? I've calculated it, it'll take at least five business days..."

"Five working days?" Apophis frowned. "By then, I think the sacred flame that resists the Black Tide will be extinguished!"

"Never mind, the objective has been achieved." Apophis looked at Yan Huan.

“Let’s just have a competition. Mr. Yan Huan is right. The [badge] is just a formality.”

But at this moment, the mountain people suddenly shook their heads.

"...Darian, I don't want to play anymore."

"I would like to change the player to Bartlus."

"???" Yan Huan looked at the mountain people in surprise. "Dude, are you out of your mind?"

"This kid stole your badge, and now that you've finally caught him and gotten it back, you want him to steal your competition qualification?"

“That’s right,” Apophis added, trying to dissuade him.

"Darian, isn't this exactly what we wanted?!"

“Of course I know.” Darian looked at Yan Huan.

"Lord Yan Huan is not only powerful in combat, but also has extraordinary ability to coordinate in the Leopard Bumping Battle."

"I know that even if I try my best, I cannot win."

"So, Bartlus, you have to steal the victory for me as compensation..."

"Huh?" Thief Spirit glanced at the mountain people in surprise.

"Hehehe, isn't it just that you're afraid of losing too badly and want me to win a match for you?"

“Since we’ve come this far, then I—” Thief Spirit beckoned, and several of the Mountain People’s baby seals came to its side.

"I'll play the game for you."

"You think changing the person will change the outcome?" Yan Huan crossed her arms, her eyes completely unmoved.

"Bubble, show this weird little thief what you're made of."
