章節 427: Chapter 423 Are you surprised? Is it thrilling?_1
In the VIP seats.
Ning Fengzhi smiled as he looked toward Hu Lianzhen, the Sect Master of the Elephant Armored Sect, sitting beside him.
"Sect Master Hu, your sect's team has already taken the stage. What are your thoughts on the upcoming match?"
Hu Lianzhen glanced at Ning Fengzhi, a hint of disdain crossing the corner of his mouth.
"What is there to think?"
"Five Elements Academy and Tianshui Academy have always been at the bottom."
"My Elephant Armored Sect has nothing but strong and vigorous warriors, especially my son Huyan Li, who is the strongest genius in the history of our sect and has learned our sect's unique secret techniques."
"Against the fragile Tianshui Battle Team, isn't victory well within our grasp?"
"Oh?" Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk appearing on his lips, "Sect Master Hu, you have such confidence in your team?"
Hu Lianzhen laughed, "Of course."
He extended a finger, arrogance sweeping across his face.
"Within the time it takes an incense to burn, the other side will surely be utterly defeated and scattered."
"Tsk, tsk."
"Such confidence in your words, Sect Master."
Ning Fengzhi nodded repeatedly, the amusement in his eyes barely containable.
Hu Lianzhen thought Ning Fengzhi was acknowledging the strength of his sect, and his arrogance intensified.
Beside him, the Snow Night Emperor had a strange look in his eyes.
"Why do I feel that your Elephant Armored Sect might not fare well this time?"
A flash of displeasure crossed Hu Lianzhen's eyes, and though he would normally not dare to retort, with the Platinum Bishop sitting next to him, he suddenly felt bold enough to talk back.
"Your Majesty, I believe that's an overstatement. As one of the Lower Four Sects, my son may not have god-given talent, but he is indeed a rare cultivation prodigy."
"And the Tianshui Battle Team being made up of commoners with no background, how could we possibly lose?"
A smile flickered in the Snow Night Emperor's eyes.
"Then let's just wait and see if my prediction is accurate."
"Pfft, isn't the outcome clear already? Why wait for a result?"
Hu Lianzhen shook his head again and again, his words filled with contempt. He secretly ridiculed the Snow Night Emperor for being so blind as to not see such an obvious one-sided match.
He turned his proud gaze toward the stage below.
Suddenly, he saw his son Huyan Li, towering like an iron tower, screaming in terror.
"Referee, referee!!"
"They're breaking the rules, they're breaking the rules!"
"How can their mentor compete in the match, what a joke."
"Click, clack, click, clack!!"
Luo Yu approached the stage unhurriedly from afar.
Although he carried no air of aggression, the sound of the turning axle seemed like it was crushing down on the hearts of the seven Elephant Armored Sect members.
When Huyan Li and his teammates locked eyes with Luo Yu, it felt as if their hearts had been brutally hammered.
Instantly, their scalps tingled, and a chill rose up their spines to the back of their heads.
"Referee!!!"
"Referee!"
Huyan Li and the other team members called out to the referee frantically, their faces covered in panic and fear.
It was as if they saw the referee as a life-saving straw.
As Luo Yu gradually got closer, their legs began to tremble, and the previously dominating fear resurfaced.
At that moment, Hu Lianzhen in the VIP seats was dumbfounded, his face frozen.
He had never seen his normally fearless son display such an expression, even more respectful than when facing his father.
What was going on?
Ning Fengzhi smiled elegantly, saying nothing.
The Snow Night Emperor's gaze shifted, evidently pondering something.
The tens of thousands of spectators were stunned, their faces showing a mix of ridicule and confusion.
They couldn't understand what was happening. Just moments ago, the Elephant Armored Sect had an unstoppable and brutally oppressive air, so why were they now panicking like frightened mice?
The middle-aged referee sensed something was amiss and quickly sprinted to the center of the stage from the edge.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing the referee, Huyan Li ran to him as if he had seen a lifesaver and hid behind him.
Pointing at Luo Yu, his lips trembled.
"Referee, he... he's the mentor from the other side."
"How can he compete in the match? That's against the rules!!"
The remaining six members from the Elephant Armored Sect also hurried over to the referee's side, as if the referee's slender build could provide a sense of security for this group of hulking men, each over two meters tall.
"Instructor?"
"Who're you calling 'instructor'? I know what you're talking about."
The referee looked at Huyan Li with a puzzled expression.
Huyan Li's eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, and his finger, pointing at Luo Yu, trembled incessantly.
"He, isn't he an instructor from Tianshui Academy?"
"Aren't you the referee? Get this great god off the stage already."
"What?"
The referee opened his mouth, feeling somewhat baffled.
With the Elephant Armored Sect looking so intimidating, was there really a need to be that afraid of the other side—just six girls and a cripple.
"What instructor are you talking about? The one you're pointing at is also a team member."
At that moment, Huyan Li's head buzzed, and the other six team members felt as if thunder had exploded in their hearts.
His facial muscles twitched as he swallowed hard.
"Referee, I'm talking about that man, the man in the wheelchair—he's an instructor."
The referee frowned.
"I'm not blind, I know you're talking about him."
With that, the referee pulled out a roll call list from his chest pocket, where the column for Tianshui Academy instructors was empty.
He pointed at the two characters "Luo Yu."
"What instructor? This is player Luo Yu."
"Luo Yu, a... player???"
Hu Lianzhen was struck by lightning, completely numb.
His legs gave way, his posture wobbled, and he stumbled back three steps.
The referee couldn't help rolling his eyes, with a hint of contempt flashing in his mind.
He whispered in Hu Lianzhen's ear:
"Hey, you're the team from the Elephant Armored Sect, are you really that scared of the Tianshui Battle Team?"
"To put it bluntly, isn't the other side just six girls and one disabled person? Why don't you hurry up and compete?"
Hu Lianzhen was furious, almost jumping up to slap the referee.
Disabled?
You call him disabled, and yet just one flick of his finger can probably crush you.
Daring to compete with him, wouldn't it be certain death for me?
Huyan Li remembered Luo Yu saying before the match that he wouldn't blame either team if players got injured during the contest—they were even giddily happy about it, like a bunch of fools.
Now looking at it, was it because he deeply wished the other side would not be harsh enough in their beatdown?
As Luo Yu had already arrived in front of the stage, the seven girls from the Tianshui Battle Team automatically stepped aside, leaving the center position open.
Huyan Li shivered and, using all the strength he could muster, bellowed:
"Referee!"
"The Elephant Armored Sect surrenders!!!"
"What?" The referee was stunned, "Who surrenders without fighting?"
Three teammates jumped out next to him, pointing at the referee's nose.
"Damn it, we surrender if we want to surrender, what's with all the nonsense from you!!"
No choice—facing this deadly opponent, we probably wouldn't even have the chance to surrender before becoming dead ghosts buried in the ground.
"Creak, creak!!"
Luo Yu wheeled himself closer.
"Captain Huyan, since you're already here, why not play a round for fun?"
Huyan Li backed away repeatedly, keeping a healthy distance from Luo Yu, his expression panicked.
"You… why didn't you say you were also a player earlier?"
Luo Yu shrugged, "Isn't this meant to be a surprise for you?"
"So, is it surprising, is it thrilling?" Luo Yu's mouth curved into a harmless smile.
"Thrilling, it's almost scaring me to death!"
Tears welled up in Huyan Li's eyes.
Luo Yu kept closing in.
"You… you… don't come any closer!"
Huyan Li kept retreating without noticing a teammate behind him, tripped, and sat down hard on the ground.
In an instant, the Sect Master of the Elephant Armored Sect in the VIP seats was dumbfounded.
The over 100,000 spectators in the arena were stunned; everyone had their mouths agape, a multitude of question marks rising in their minds…
