Chapter Four Hundred and Seven – Acceptance of Battle Invitation (2/2)
“I really anticipate this!”
———
“How was it? Was my performance not bad?” Zuo Mo smugly asked Wei.
Wei smiled slightly. “Very good!”
Zuo Mo wouldn’t be fooled by Wei’s humble and gentle appearance any more. In front of the cunning and sly Pu Yao, Wei was definitely playing Mister Good. Wei was one that was persistence in his beliefs. However, Zuo Mo discovered through this matter that of the three of them, this guy had the highest skill at fooling people.
Full of righteousness, a good appearance … …
Even if he was making a great lie, Wei’s eyes would still be filled with sincerity. Zuo Mo was suspicious that this guy was practiced in doing things in the shadows, while showing a pious face.
This guy was a charlatan!
But it had to be said that after Wei’s teachings, Zuo Mo’s performance could be said to be perfect.
“What should we do now?” Zuo Mo asked Pu Yao curiously. “Do I really have to fight him?”
“No need, no need.” Pu Yao showed a very proud smile, and then smiled mysteriously. “You will know soon!”

The matter of Xiao Mo Ge publicly challenging Yu Heng became an even hotter topic.
The recording yao art of his one against four battle was spread far. After seeing the entire battle, many people couldn’t help but agree with Xiao Mo Ge’s words. It was true. From the recording yao art, the performances of the four combat yao were not worthy of praise.
Yu Heng’s impassioned performance changed meaning in front of this recording yao art.
The rumours about the Heavy Earth Corps in the cities became even more rampant: the Heavy Earth Corps were rotten from the core, there were secrets about the identity of Commander Yu Heng’s gold battle general status.
Yu Heng deeply experienced what it felt like to fall from the heavens into the pits of hell.
The military command that had been praising him previously changed their attitudes and their tone became stern. This time, they had come out and scolded him. They were all straightforward and old generals. These old general did not care about showing off. However, the level of the military decreasing and the loss of combat capabilities were subjects of their deep hatred.
Even more, the front lines had just experienced losses. Some people even speculated the reason that Fierce Fire Corps and Ice Frost Corpse were exterminated were because they were like the Heavy Earth Corps, rotten, in decline, and unable to stand up in a fight.
The pressure on Yu Heng shot up.
His face was dark every day. He threw his nephew Yu Zi Zhou far away. The mood in Heavy Earth Corps was very low. The experienced Yu Heng knew that if the other dared to challenge him like this then they had tricks to follow up with. He could see it clearly. No matter if he won or lost, there was no benefit to him.
If he won, the opponent was a youth and the victory was not honourable, it was expected and nothing to boast about.
But if he lost … …
He didn’t dare think of this result!
Such poisonous schemes!
Yu Heng’s face was black.
A while later, he raised his head. His eyes were murderous. He squeezed the words through his teeth, “Accept the battle!”
The second day, an enormous war chess was being set up on the Wasteland Beast Chessboard.
All of the topography of this war chess was personally designed by famed war chess master He Yong. To set up this match, the famed Water Caltrop Yao Art House, had sent large numbers of teachers that spent three whole days constructing it.
This was a war chess match that was unprecedented.

Gongsun Cha swallowed a fiend soul beast bead and channelled his core scripture. He continuously absorbed soul base source from the fiend soul beast bead.
By now, his core scripture was in its beginning form and its power had started to show, especially when he was giving commands. He didn’t need to rely on even one talisman to be able to pass his orders to every soldier.
His core scripture flowed. His mind was able to maintain clarity from beginning to end. For a battle general, that was more important than anything.
His sudden increase in skill did not cause any joy to appear on his face. Thinking about his defeat last time, there seemed to be a fire burning inside.
He planned on challenge that old guy today!
This time, he had to defeat the other!
Entering war chess like usual, he sent a challenge to the other without fear. Previously, whenever he sent out the challenge, the other would unhesitatingly start a match.
But the chess match did not start today. Gongsun Cha frowned. The Lil’ Miss in times of battle was a completely different person than usual. At this moment, a dark voice sounded next to his ear, “There’s a new match, do you dare to come?”
New chess match? Who cares if it is a new chess match opponent or an old one! I will defeat all of them!
Full of motivation, Gongsun Cha was ignited by these light words.
“Come!”
Translator Ramblings: Nyasmus, it is “the Materialist(Zuo Mo), narcissist(Pu), fake gentleman chivalry (Wei).” Wei’s not chivalrous at all.
If Yu Heng hadn’t wanted so much publicity, glory and was willing to apologize, none of this would have happened. It could have been just a “my nephew is young and rash, please forgive him.”
