The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 79 — Annual Match of Mofa Forest (2)
Bai and Cheng who were asked by Chao Bence to approach him, ran out of the circle and lunged at Chao Bence who was leaning against the tree. Chao Bence greeted the two twin magical beasts happily and said, “Let's watch the show.”
Then the rat pulled out a scroll out of nowhere. The scroll was rectangular in shape with a brown color that looked rather dull. The mouse makes the scroll stick to the board and opens the width of the rectangular roll. On the scroll was written a question and his choice,
If a person or group of people enters another person's home or territory, what punishment do they deserve?
A. Preyed
B. Cooked
C. Assassinated
D. Hunted
E. Flayed
Lian Huanran and Long Yuan, “ Are we being asked to determine our fate through this choice?
The mouse began to explain, The first “Tabak is a puzzle! Well, please answer! You are given time to discuss for five minutes!”
The mouse's eyes narrowed and his ‘friendly’ smile felt brighter as he said sentences per sentence.
Lian Huanran looked at the rat and raised his hand to ask a question. Instantly smile ‘friendly’ rat feels ice-cold. But the mouse kept asking, “Ya..., What questions need to be asked?”
Lian Huanran said somewhat hesitantly, “If we did not answer correctly or we did not answer this question, how?”
Rat, “Sure you will be disqualified.”
Lian Haocun asked as he glanced at the crowd of magical beasts, “Why are we the only ones answering this question? They don't answer?”
The mouse replied very eloquently, “Of course not! This is the round we have specially prepared for you!”
Long Yuan who had been silent, asked, “How many questions were there in the first round?”
Rat answers very patiently even though his teeth are tightly clenched, “Only this one question.”
Lian Haocun said, “Then this is my answer.”
Then Lian Haocun stuck out his hand and controlled the power of his element in the air, then he pointed it at the scroll. In a short time, the scroll had burned almost entirely.
The eyes of the rat that had been narrowed, opened slightly in surprise. Although it was only for a short while, Lian Haocun could see that the rat's eyes were filled with an extremely strong hatred and that hatred was directed towards those who were strangers.
While Lian Huanran and Long Yuan were dead-end minds, they felt surprised and amazed by what Lian Haocun did, which they thought was very cool and unexpected.
The rat felt angry in his heart, but he kept asking, “Why did you burn the scroll?”
Although the rat tried to cover up his anger, Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Long Yuan could detect the anger of the rat in that question.
Lian Haocun replied in a cooler tone than usual, “That was our answer, because we will not end up being one of those options.”
Rat, “We are not saying that you are such a group of people or you yourself realize that you are such a group of people?”
Lian Huanran said in an angry tone, “Huh, how did we not notice it!? Isn't that obvious!”
The mouse let out a long sigh of reluctance in the heart and said with a cheery tone made up, “Congratulations! You guys got through the first round!”
Lian Huanran who is ready to argue, “...”
“Well, the second round is a one-on-one fight! You will each fight against ten magical beasts of the Mofa Forest, if you manage to win those ten matches, then you will be able to qualify for the final round! But if you lose just once, then it is better not to expect to get away!” The Rat explains the second half.
The mouse said again, “Well, the time for each game is twenty minutes! Oh, and there are also rules that should at least be broken, if you break them, then you will be disqualified. The rule is not to kill magical beasts that will compete with you! To win, you must get your opponent out of the scope of the match.”
‘If you break it, maybe you will soon fate like one of the choices in the first round. Hahahaha!’ Inner Rat while imagining the bloody scene.
Before the rat could imagine, Lian Haocun interrupted him, “Ten consecutive matches without rest?”
The mouse clucked resentfully in his heart and replied with a smile ‘friendly’, “Sure..., what lest you guys can't do it?”
Lian Haocun shook his head, then kept silent.
The mouse was pleased with Lian Haocun's silence and said, “Then, the first participant to compete is...
The mouse pointed at Lian Huanran who was on the far right until Lian Haocun who was on the far left. Then not long after, his finger stopped at Lian Haocun.
“Blue-eyed young man!” Rat Exclamation.
Rat says while pointing somewhere, “Log into that circle line.”
Suddenly a circle-shaped line appeared on the ground filled with beautiful flowers, but unexpectedly the flowers blooming in the circle suddenly disappeared out of nowhere when the circle was formed. The circle is also wide enough for one-on-one combat.
Lian Haocun advanced with firm steps towards the circle. Not long after, the crocodile magical beast entered the sphere of the circle. The crocodile looks like a crocodile in general, has pointed and sharp teeth and thick scales. The crocodile had a cultivation of level three which was equivalent to a Foundation Building stage five.
Lian Haocun did not take long to throw the large and heavy crocodile, out of the scope of the arena, only about a minute to two minutes. Even without using elements or movements or weapons.
‘Heh..., it turns out that this guy is quite strong, but..., after all it is only the beginning, for the next matches, it will not be that easy.’ Inner Rat watching the match.
Then Lian Haocun easily finished five out of ten matches. In each match, the time it took Lian Haocun to take out the opponent increased little by little, even though it was only an extra split second.
It was quite natural, as Lian Haocun did not use too much Spiritual Qi so he was arguably in good shape to fight with an opponent of his level.
‘Over time the cultivation level of the magical beast that Brother is fighting increases.’ Inner Lian Huanran analyzed the situation from the first match to the present match, while paying attention to the sixth Lian Haocun match.
Not long after the sixth magical beast was thrown out, the seventh magical beast entered the circle.
"This..” Long Yuan looked doubtful looking at Lian Haocun's opponent in the seventh match.
Lian Huanran immediately asked, but he did not see the circle, “What's the matter?”
Long Yuan explained, “His friend this time will be a little troublesome..”.
Lian Huanran looked at Lian Haocun's opponent for the seventh match, it was a white tiger that looked ferocious and full of strength. The white tiger is a magical beast with a rare bloodline level that is very rare to find. Previously Lian Haocun's opponent was only a magical beast with a common bloodline.
Long Yuan said in a heavy tone, “Magic beasts with rare bloodlines.., will not be ordinary magical beasts.”.
