Chapter 392 Ning Suyan's temper remains
Because Jin Tangtang eagerly invited Chu You and others to have dinner together, and Chu You invited Tuzki and Hui Erlang to join them.
The original intention was to let the remaining four seeded players discuss the playing strategy of the "Demon Fairy Trial Competition".
Many times, it is necessary to "sacrifice" other civilian beast fairies who accidentally break in.
But everyone was there, leaving the Leopard King speechless.
He wanted to wait until the next meal to plot, but for the next two days and six meals, the ten contestants and the two team leaders had to eat together, which made the Leopard King almost lose his temper.
Finally, when they arrived at the Ice Sea Dragon Palace to register and be assigned to housing, he found an opportunity to gather the four seeded players alone.
Chu You and others also got the opportunity to act alone. They slipped out quietly and looked for the place Ning Suyan mentioned on the jade slip to meet up.
I have to say, this Ice Sea Dragon Palace is even more magnificent than I imagined.
The bustling and lively Ice Sea Street is made up of huge and flat blue ice blocks. Each block is crystal clear, like a carefully polished gem, reflecting a dreamy blue light.
The streets are lined with ice sculptures of various shapes. These buildings are not simple shapes, but lifelike simulations of marine life.
Some look like giant octopuses with bared fangs and claws, with eight tentacles winding and stretching out to form the doors and windows of the shop; some look like majestic whales, with their huge bodies slightly arched to form a unique pavilion. The textures on their bodies are so delicate and lifelike that it seems that you can feel the rhythm of life with just a light touch.
The streets were bustling with people. Ice dragons in half-beast state walked around with dragon horns on their heads, and some even dragged their dragon tails. They were elegant and noble, and each of them exuded an icy aura that kept strangers away.
Sure enough, someone like Ning Suyan, who is straightforward and unconventional, is definitely the most conspicuous weirdo in the Ice Dragon Clan!
Although the Ice Dragon Clan's Dragon Palace is usually not open to other races, this time it does not restrict the actions of other races participating in the competition. Other monster races can be seen everywhere on the streets, such as the beast clan, bird clan, other sea clans and even the plant spirit clan.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals were busy carrying goods. They walked forward in an orderly manner, holding a wide variety of coral treasures and deep-sea creatures in their hands.
The stalls were filled with all kinds of rare treasures, including night pearls that emitted a soft glow, fist-sized pearls that were round and plump, and ice crystals that released a hint of coolness. Each one was dazzling.
No matter how much resources the Ice Dragon Royal Family has accumulated, they are indeed very rich in terms of money!
Even so, Chu You and others felt regretful that they failed to grab the "Xuanbing Gathering Spirit Armor" at the auction.
Walking along the street, you can see the magnificent Ice Sea Palace.
The gate of the palace is supported by two huge icicles, each carved with exquisite dragon patterns. The dragon's body is winding and its whiskers are fluttering, as if it will take off into the sky at any time.
The gate is dozens of feet high and is inlaid with countless dazzling sapphires, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, exuding a cold and noble atmosphere. It is an important place where the highest leaders of the Ice Dragon Clan live and discuss government affairs. They cannot be summoned, and other races are still not allowed to approach easily.
The place Ning Suyan agreed to meet with them was in a private room in a restaurant closest to the imperial palace.
As the four of them entered, Ning Suyan quickly drew a barrier around the box and began to curse:
"Has this bastard Xuanyuan Qintian done too many bad things? I've been here for half a month pretending to be an ordinary Ice Dragon, and I haven't even seen him!"
Chu You was ashamed:
"Uncle Ning, you also said that you are just an ordinary Ice Dragon Clan member now, and he is now the Emperor of the Ice Dragon Clan. The chances of the Emperor summoning a commoner are not high, right?"
"So, mother and we also participated in the selection of the Ice Dragon Clan in the 'Demon Fairy Trial Competition'."
As he spoke, Ning Luo hurriedly made tea for his mother, and Shentu Yin handed her the teacup.
The two of them had obviously done this kind of tacit cooperation many times just to suppress Ning Suyan's anger.
This tea was specially formulated by Shentu Yin and is extremely effective in reducing internal heat.
After Ning Suyan drank a few sips, her rationality returned a lot, but her voice was still heavy:
"That bastard will only appear during the final rewarding ceremony. It's said that he'll host a palace banquet of the highest standard to entertain the top three teams and the top ten demon immortals in terms of individual 'points'."
Ji Chen heard a different meaning:
"Uncle Ning, you're not planning to attack the Ice Dragon Emperor at that time, are you?"
"if not?"
Ning Suyan answered as a matter of course, "If I miss this opportunity, and this guy retreats again, I'll have to fight through the Ice Dragon Clan's vast army before I can confront him!"
Chu You and the others all swallowed their saliva, as if she was going to attack the Emperor in the hall, and they would not have to face the Ice Dragon Clan's massive army?
"Uncle Ning, how about we think of some other more moderate solutions?"
Chu You asked Ning Suyan to be more calm.
But the other party refused without hesitation:
“If I hadn’t been prudent and had disregarded the innocence of the other members of the Ice Dragon Clan, I would have single-handedly attacked the Ice Dragon Palace half a month ago.
It’s impossible to make me wait any longer!
Didn’t that ungrateful bastard say that I was a traitor who almost caused the Ice Dragon Clan to be wiped out?
Okay!
I'll let him have a taste of catastrophic disaster first!"
When she got angry, the whole room began to freeze.
Even the air was frozen instantly.
Naturally including Chu You and everyone else!
After coming to her senses, Ning Suyan found that her beloved son and nephew were both frozen. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she waved her little hand lightly, full of helplessness:
"You're too weak. You're frozen and won't you try to break free?"
Chu You and others: "..."
That is the freezing technique of a peak immortal. How can a mere lower immortal like them break it?
When Chu You and the others thought about what outrageous things they were going to do after the selection for the "Demon Fairy Trial Competition", their hearts were in turmoil, but they were strangely eager to try.
Be it a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, or a knife of ice and a blade of snow, they must seek justice for their uncle-master Ning/mother!
"So, if we all enter the top ten individually, we'll already have eight spots?
Do we have to cooperate?
Shouldn't we discuss how to fight?"
Everyone was shocked. This was really a tricky problem!
Several hours passed in the discussion.
So when Chu You and the others returned to their residence, the Spirit Leopard King's expression was extremely bad:
"Where did you four go just now?
After the opening ceremony of tomorrow's competition, the drawing of lots will begin immediately.
You're back so late, we don't have time to discuss countermeasures. Do you still want to fight for cultivation resources?"
This fatherly remark made Chu You and others roll their eyes.
It’s not like they didn’t see the Spirit Leopard King secretly summoning the other four to discuss countermeasures, so what is he pretending to be now?
Fortunately, Jiang Xinbai was able to remain calm and stepped forward, bowing and saying:
"King of the Spirit Leopard, calm down. We just arrived at the Ice Sea Dragon Palace and are curious about everything. We lost track of time while wandering around. We will definitely not do that next time."
"Do you want to have another time?"
After saying that, the Spirit Leopard King's pressure overwhelmingly attacked Chu You and others!
Chu You and the others were shocked, and almost simultaneously released their immortal powers to resist the pressure. Although they knew they could not win, they also wanted to try to see how the gap was between them and the immortal.
Fortunately, the Spirit Leopard King only used less than one tenth of his strength, while Chu You and others used all their strength to resist.
After a few back and forth attacks, he was only forced to retreat a few steps.
Not only was the Spirit Leopard King surprised, but Chu You and others were also surprised. They looked at each other. How could they resist the pressure of the immortal?
The Spirit Leopard King, who had regained consciousness, was extremely angry, feeling that he had been slapped in the face by a few juniors. He was about to unleash even more pressure, when the Tenth Princess, Jin Tangtang, ran up to Chu You and the others from nowhere, looking unhappy:
"Spirit Leopard Immortal King, we will have a big competition tomorrow. What is your intention in exerting pressure on them now?"
"Tenth Princess, they are lawless and took action while we were concentrating on discussing battle strategies. I am only punishing them lightly. Otherwise, they will only become more presumptuous!"
"We're all going to compete tomorrow. If you let them get hurt, how can we compete?"
Jin Tangtang's defensive tone was obvious, and she was very angry:
"Besides, this princess does not approve of the combat method that the Immortal King just mentioned!
Why should the six beast immortals take the lead and bear the brunt of the crisis? Wouldn't it be very likely that they would be eliminated?
Since we are all representing the Red Flame Nation, we must leverage each other's strengths to maximize the combat effectiveness of our entire team."
Not to mention the Spirit Leopard King, even Chu You and others looked at Jin Tangtang in shock. They didn't expect that she would so gorgeously deny the "predetermined" fighting style of the royal grandson and nobles. Among this group of young people specially trained by the royal family, not all beast fairies think they are special?
Coincidentally, Song Yi, the eldest son of Dali Xianqing, walked out from the corner with a steady pace, and actually agreed with Jin Tangtang's proposal:
"The Tenth Princess is absolutely right. My defense is quite strong, so I can charge into the vanguard position!"
Chu You raised her eyebrows. Song Yi was mature and steady, but he looked a bit like a scholar. Because he didn't have animal ears like theirs, she had never known what breed he was.
Why do you still boast of strong defense?
Could it be that he is a beast fairy born in this place, whose cultivation has reached the level of a supreme fairy and has become fully human?
As if she saw Chu You's doubt, Jin Tangtang leaned close to Chu You's ear and whispered:
"Song Yi's true form is a yin-yang beast. When he transforms into a half-beast, his ears retract, and his short tail is covered by his long robe, so he looks no different from a human."
After a pause, she added:
"Many demons and immortals who don't know the truth will think he is a supreme immortal and dare not provoke him easily!"
Upon hearing this, Chu You's eyes lit up instantly:
"That's great! Brother Song Yi will take the lead, and I'll assist!"
Chu You already had countless combinations of tactics in his mind to trick his opponent.
"I can also be a pioneer!"
Ji Chen followed closely behind. He was originally a sword cultivator. Although the Nine-toothed Rake was not as easy to use as a sword, it did not hinder him from displaying his offensive and defensive abilities.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Yan and Jiang Xinbai also introduced their respective combat advantages. After a short while, the six of them actually reached a consensus on their own, and they were planning to sideline the Spirit Leopard King.
Tuzki and Gray Wolf got this opportunity because of Chu You and others, so they naturally fully support them.
When Yun Lang (Ma Xian), the second son of Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel, and Princess Hu Yingxue, the daughter of the Spirit Tiger King, arrived, the eight beast fairies all reached a consensus that they were unwilling to accept the situation and did not want to be targeted in the team, so they had to integrate into it.
The Spirit Leopard King suppressed his anger, and the other beastmaster leading the team asked him to step aside and admonish him:
"Lord Bao, the Tenth Princess initially disobeyed our instructions. The eldest son of the Dali Immortal Lord fully supports us. If we don't achieve the desired ranking, the Emperor shouldn't blame us too much.
Besides, Prince Bao is not among them. If they are allowed to obtain better training resources, wouldn’t it be…”
Before the Beastmaster could finish his words, the Spirit Leopard King understood what he meant.
Prince Leopard is now a leader among the younger generation, but if the four people including the Tenth Princess obtain more resources for cultivation, Prince Leopard's position will inevitably be shaken.
The situation may change depending on whether the Tenth Princess is willing to get engaged to Prince Bao for saving her life, and whether the Emperor is reluctant to do so.
But if the Tenth Princess messed up, the Emperor would certainly not be as kind to her as before, and marrying her to a future assistant Immortal King like his son would be the only contribution she could make to the royal family.
Unknown to others, the Spirit Leopard King bribed the Tenth Princess's headmaster and obtained secret information: Princess Ten has a special physique, and it will be of great benefit to the future cultivation of any man who marries her.
Therefore, the Spirit Leopard King kept this secret. Otherwise, it would not only be the young talents of the Red Flame Kingdom who wanted to marry the Tenth Princess, but other forces would also compete to marry her.
With this in mind, the Spirit Leopard King no longer tried to stop the Tenth Princess Jin Tangtang, and let them discuss the battle strategy on their own.
The process of the "Demon Fairy Trial Competition" is similar to the sect competition that Chu You and his companions had participated in before, and is divided into three stages:
Arena matches, team battles and secret realm training.
But there are subtle differences in the details.
For example, in the ring match, each team randomly draws three players and randomly competes with players from other teams in a 1VS1 ring match.
Each player plays 10 games in a row, and the opponent is random each time.
If you win, you will get 2 points for your team.
If you lose, 1 point will be deducted.
A draw results in 1 point each.
There is a lot of "looking at the sky" involved here.
Because it is uncertain who will be drawn, and they will definitely be the three most powerful players in the team.
The fighting skills of the opponents you encounter in the ring are likely to be uneven.
Therefore, in the first stage, there is almost no need to discuss tactics. Whoever is drawn will go up and fight. No matter whether you win or lose, try your best and conserve your energy to prepare for the team battle in the second stage.
The team battle in the second round is quite interesting, it is a battle of "offense and defense".
The battle takes place in a larger two-story venue, where two teams are initially randomly drawn, and a draw is used to determine the defending and attacking sides.
