Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 286
Chapter 286: This Is A Round Where Luck Matters, All One Hundred Of Them Belongs To Me
“We’ll head over there first, Sect Leader.”
Murong Xuan said.
He and Lan Yu then made their way to the arena together.
However, everyone had a weird look in their eyes the moment they saw Lan Yu.
“It’s her, Young Emperor Lan Yu.”
“I can’t believe Chu Kuangren’s follower is taking part in this round.”
“Hold on a second, is she even a Black Heaven Sect disciple?”
An orthodoxy’s Sect Leader suddenly questioned.
Chu Kuangren merely glared at him instead. “You have a problem with that? Do you need me to show you the full list of every Black Heaven Sect disciple?”
“That’s not necessary.”
That orthodoxy’s Sect Leader replied awkwardly.
Since Lan Yu had been by Chu Kuangren’s side since the beginning and had never joined any other orthodoxies, it was not inappropriate to deem her as a Black Heaven Sect disciple.
“Lan Yu, what made you suddenly want to take part in this round?”
Murong Xuan asked curiously.
After all, although she had always been with Chu Kuangren, she had never picked fights with others and seldom attacked someone. In all his years in Black Heaven Sect, Murong Xuan had rarely seen her in action.
“Frankly speaking, I felt slightly uncomfortable after hearing what Chang Tian said earlier,” Lan Yu replied as she looked in the direction of the Overlord Sage Tribe.
A chilling glint flashed across her eyes. “What makes Chang Tian think that he’s worthy enough to be compared to my Master? And he even dared to challenge Master too? Just by the fact that he can kill more beasts inside the Beast Summoner Tower than others?”
“I want to let him know that there’s no need for Master to take action because I alone am enough to defeat him. Besides, if our Black Heaven Sect were to get first place in this event, I suppose that as the Sect Leader, Master will be quite delighted as well.”
Only then did Murong Xuan realize.
Bluntly speaking, she was doing it for the Sect Leader.
Both of them arrived at the arena, where the participants representing the Eight Wind Palace, Thunder Falcon Tribe, Linghu clan, Heaven Chord Sect, and the Daoist School of Dedication had arrived as well.
Everyone began to draw lots from a box.
“Since the lots have been drawn, you guys would have to take turns entering the Beast Summoner Tower according to the sequence of numbers you’ve been given. Remember, if you don’t think you can carry on any longer, you must crush the number you have in your hands. Otherwise, the beasts will continue to attack you, unless you’ve somehow managed to kill all of them, of course,” the Thirteenth Prefect explained.
Every participant stared at the bead they had in their hands. Besides the number on it, there was also a faint surge of Daoist Rhyme within it. It was a transportation mechanism that was set up to protect the participating sky-prides.
When any of them could not hold on any longer inside the tower, all they had to do was crush the bead given to them and they would be immediately transported out.
“Lan Yu, I got number six. What number did you get?”
“I got number one,” Lan Yu replied with the bead in her hands.
Murong Xuan was a little surprised. “That’s quite lucky of you. Since you got number one, that means you’ll be the first one to enter. At this point, the Battle Monarch level beasts are the most abundant ones inside the tower. With your strength, I bet you’ll be able to kill quite a few of them and nab quite a lot of points for us.”
There were a total of a hundred beasts inside the Beast Summoner Tower, which were divided into four types — Battle Monarch, Early-Stage Honorable, Late-Stage Honorable, and Honorable Supreme.
Generally speaking, the beasts on the Honorable Supreme and Late-Stage Honorable level would prove to be a challenge even for a Young Emperor to defeat.
That was why the sky-prides who were taking part in this round would mainly focus on the Battle Monarch and Early-Stage Honorable level beasts.
The later they entered the tower, the more Battle Monarch and Early-Stage Honorable beasts would have already been killed. They would then have to deal with the remaining beasts that were on an even higher cultivation level.
“I think you’re right. I feel like in this round, everyone is competing against each other’s luck,” Lan Yu said as she looked at the Beast Summoning Tower before her.
Upon hearing what she said, the Thirteenth Prefect commented indifferently, “Compared to luck, the main thing about this round is to do what you can, killing as many beasts as possible based on your strengths.”
“No, I truly think that this is the round where luck matters the most.”
Lan Yu replied as she stood before the Beast Summoning Tower. Looking at the towering structure in front of her, she uttered coldly, “The one hundred beasts inside are all mine!”
Everyone in the crowd at that time gasped in shock at her words.
‘What?’
Did they hear her wrong?
Lan Yu intended to kill all one hundred beasts inside!
Among the three groups that were before them, even the strongest and most arrogant Chang Tian of the Overlord Sage Tribe only managed to kill fifty beasts.
That feat of his had already shocked many people!
Yet now Lan Yu challenged herself to kill a hundred beasts before them! Those were all the beasts inside the Beast Summoning Tower!
‘She’s crazy!’
The only thought in everyone’s mind then was that the Young Emperor Lan Yu was crazy!
“That includes the four Honorable Supreme beasts as well. By the heavens, why would she attempt such a challenge? ”
“She’s definitely nuts.”
“Are all the people around Chu Kuangren nut heads like him?”
The crowd burst into discussions.
Meanwhile in the skybox, when Chu Kuangren heard that Lan Yu challenged herself to kill one hundred beasts, he was initially taken aback but he then burst into laughter.
“Geez, I guess she really has spent too much time by my side. Even her style is gravitating towards mine now.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
However, Nangong Huang and the others beside him could only muster a bitter smile.
“Aren’t you worried at all, Sect Leader? That’s a hundred beasts we’re talking about here. Can Lan Yu deal with all of them herself?”
“That’s right, there are even Honorable Supreme ones among them too.”
Chu Kuangren was more calm and relaxed compared to Nangong Huang’s concerned look. He then told them, “Don’t you all worry, I understand Lan Yu better than all of you guys. Since she has decided to do it, it means that she’s confident.”
“Everyone, just sit back and watch. She’s going to shine gloriously today!”
In the direction of the Overlord Sage Tribe.
Chang Tian’s expression turned grim the moment he heard that Lan Yu was going to challenge killing a hundred beasts. That number of kills was twice compared to what he achieved.
“Hmph, very bold words for someone like her. Let’s see how she kills a hundred beasts then.”
He did not believe it at all.
Even he would feel extremely overwhelmed if he were to kill a hundred beasts.
He did not believe that Lan Yu was strong enough to defeat all the beasts.
“A hundred beasts? You must be mad.”
With a slight frown, Linghu Teng uttered as he looked towards Lan Yu.
Beside him, Lei Mingtian snorted instead. “Has this woman followed Chu Kuangren for so long that she has some screws loose in her head?”
The Thirteenth Prefect looked at Lan Yu and said seriously, “Are you sure you want to challenge one hundred beasts? It’s not too late to change your decision.”
“There’s no need. I’m going for a hundred of them.”
“Your corpse will not be collected when you’re dead.” The Thirteenth Prefect snorted. He was even more certain that the Black Heaven Sect was there just to cause trouble.
In the previous round, the Black Heaven Sect sent out an outer disciple to represent them, and now came Lan Yu who wanted to challenge a hundred beasts?
What was wrong with the disciples of this sect?
“The crooked stick will always have a crooked shadow.”
The Thirteenth Prefect snorted in his heart
After all, the Sect Leader was the one who would set the example for his disciples, and from his perspective, the disciples learned that from Chu Kuangren.
Not knowing what the Thirteenth Prefect was thinking, Lan Yu walked up to the entrance of the Beast Summoning Tower and threw the bead she was given on the ground.
That very sight made the crowd gasp.
That bead was a life-saving item!
Yet she just casually threw it away!
“Does she really have the confidence to defeat all the beasts, or is that a desperate move that’ll end in her death if she fails?”
“F*ck me, it’s just a competition. I don’t think it’s worth putting your life on the line like that. This is too crazy even for a gamble.”
“Who the hell is this Lan Yu anyway!”
“Don’t you know? The divine protector has deemed her a peerless sky-pride who’s comparable to the Emperors of Old.”
“That’s quite a remarkable statement. Why have I not heard of it in the past few years?”
“This woman is extremely low-key and rarely joins in on fights, so her fame is not as renowned as the other Young Emperors. If not for the divine predictor’s words, I suppose no one would even know that such a Young Emperor like her exists.”
