One person: plays Wendy, the most carefree director of Nadu.

Feeling the chilling sharpness behind his head and the frantic alarm from the Wuhou Qimen under his feet, Zhuge Qingren was dumbfounded.

No?

What exactly happened?

From the moment he challenged them, he had been in a very favorable position.

Why did I suddenly find myself in such a desperate situation?!

Not only was Zhuge Qing baffled, but the audience was even more confused.

"What exactly happened?"

"I don't know. For some reason, Zhuge Qing just stood there motionless, waiting for that guy named Su Mu to slowly walk up behind him, draw his bow, and nock an arrow..."

"Zhuge Qing must have had his reasons for doing this!"

"That's right! He can definitely dodge that arrow that's right on his forehead!"

Zhuge Qing's lips twitched as he listened to the audience's comments.

hide?

You make it sound so easy, why don't you try hiding from one of them?

The reason he was able to dodge the wind blades and even have the guy's wind attack kill him and the bald guy was because he used the Wuhou Qimen technique to occupy an auspicious position and then forced them into an inauspicious place, thus using the power of heaven and earth to achieve a counterattack.

Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is the most basic principle of a sorcerer.

But warlocks are not gods.

When you're in a situation where someone has a gun, or rather, an arrow, pointed at your head, there's no use trying to avoid danger!

However, they said they stood still and let this guy slowly walk behind them?

Could it be?!

Zhuge Qing opened his squinted eyes and said, "Su Mu, you should know that spell, right?"

"That legendary, lost art that could control the speed of change—"

"The clapper of the chaotic gong!"

"Want to know?" Su Mu smiled slightly. "Admit defeat, and I'll tell you."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing remained silent for a moment, then slowly raised his right hand.

"I surrender."

Seeing this, the referee also made the announcement.

"The C-rank Vermilion Bird competition is over. The winner is—"

"Su Mu!"

The audience erupted in uproar.

"What?"

"Why did Zhuge Qing admit defeat?"

"It's a cover-up! It must be a cover-up!"

"Damn it, first there was that shameless Zhang Chulan, and now there's Su Mu. Has the company really gotten to control everything in the industry?"

"Ah Qing, don't be afraid! We will seek justice for you!"

Seeing the crowd's outrage, Zhang Chulan broke out in a cold sweat.

"Oh my god...we've really angered everyone this time!"

"So who do you think is to blame?"

Xu Si punched Zhang Chulan on the head.

"Wasn't it you, the one who wanted to overturn the heavens, who started this whole thing?"

"Oh, Fourth Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"But no matter what, Su Mu has removed a huge obstacle for you."

Xu San pushed up his glasses, looking thoughtful.

"Did you notice anything about what he did just now, baby?"

Feng Baobao swallowed the potato chip in her hand, licked her fingers, and said, "I don't know either, but the flow of Qi in that person's body slowed down a lot just now."

"He only returned to normal after Su Mu walked behind him."

"The flow rate of Qi...?"

Xu San looked at Su Mu's back and muttered to himself.

Su Mu, just how much skill do you still have that you're holding back?

Should we find an opportunity to put some pressure on this kid?

On the field, Su Mu had no idea what Xu San was thinking.

He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zhuge Qing admit defeat.

The instant he engaged Zhuge Qing in battle, he immediately used the Thousand Winds Decree - Reverse.

The effect of slowing down time, or rather, slowing down speed, is very noticeable.

Until Su Mu walked behind him and drew the bow, Zhuge Qing probably thought only a second had passed in the outside world.

However, the consumption is quite high.

Su Mu, who usually doesn't use his Qi much, felt like he had just finished a half marathon.

If it were used on someone of the Ten Elders' caliber, it would probably only last for about ten seconds.

Su Mu put away his folding bow, and Zhuge Qing turned to look at him, asking, "Can you speak now?"

"Do you know how to use the 'random metal clapper'?"

No, I won't.

"What? Not the Chaotic Golden Bell?" Zhuge Qing's eyes widened.

"But if it wasn't the chaotic golden clapper, how did you affect my senses, making me completely unresponsive to your actions?"

"Hehe, that's the secret."

"Anyway, it's not a random gold clapper."

"You—" Zhuge Qing exclaimed angrily, "You clearly said..."

"That's enough."

Zhuge Qing took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"You only promised me that you would tell me whether I used the Chaotic Golden Tuo after I admitted defeat."

"I will keep an eye on you, and I will definitely find the answer when you fight Zhang Lingyu."

After speaking, Zhuge Qing strode away from the meeting.

Su Mu scratched his head and sighed.

"Truly worthy of being the man in the original story who overcame his inner demons on his own."

In the original novel, Zhuge Qing was defeated by Wang Ye at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

Because Feng Hou Qi Men can freely manipulate the four plates to determine good or bad fortune, it is considered to be a natural counter to all sorcerers.

In addition, Wang Ye had never been well-known before, so this failure once shattered Zhuge Qing's morale.

He even nearly lost his life trying to figure out why he had lost.

Later, Zhuge Qing coveted the Feng Hou Qi Men technique, but he eventually overcame his inner demons and mastered the Zhuge family's strongest martial art, the Samadhi True Fire.

It can be said that Zhuge Qing had excellent mental fortitude.

Because of Su Mu's interference, Zhuge Qing has not faced off against Wang Ye directly.

I don't know if this will have any impact on the future.

When Su Mu returned to the stands, he was warmly welcomed by Zhang Chulan.

"Hey! Who's this?"

"Isn't this my brother Su back?"

Zhang Chulan eagerly got up, pulled Su Mu to sit down, and stood behind him to massage his shoulders.

"My brother Su has really worked hard!"

"Come on, Brother Su, let me massage you. See if the pressure is right."

"Alright, look at you, acting like a sycophant..."

Xu Si curled his lip in disdain.

"Let's go eat, I'm starving."

The group left together, discussing the morning's matches as they walked.

"It's good news that Su Mu has helped you eliminate Zhuge Qing."

"But the bad news is that the number of top competitors this year far exceeded our expectations."

"Haha, it's alright, there's always a way!"

As the group was walking, they bumped into Canglong and Bai Shixue.

Canglong is a fat otaku who is good at gathering intelligence.

Bai Shixue is a greedy girl whose ability is to plunder and devour other people's Qi.

They were all people Lu Jin had summoned to help maintain order at Longhu Mountain.

"Pour it all on Linglong!" Canglong shouted.

This guy was a die-hard fan of Lu Linglong in the original story, so it's not surprising that he made such a decision.

Bai Shixue scoffed, "Forget it, do you have too much money to burn?"

"If you bet on her, you're doomed to lose!"

Zhang Chulan looked completely bewildered and stepped forward to ask, "What are you all doing?"

"Oh, Zhang Chulan's here?"

Bai Shixue smiled and handed over a tablet.

"This is the website where Fatty collects information on people with supernatural abilities. I set up a betting pool for this conference on it."

"Bet on whoever you think will win, or even yourself!"

Zhang Chulan naturally had no intention of participating in such gambling-related entertainment activities.

However, the odds can also give a rough idea of ​​a player's ability.

So he took the tablet, picked it up, and looked at it—

"what?"

"Why are my brother Su's odds 20 to 1?"

"He's the one who defeated Zhuge Qing!"
