Chapter 282: The War (2/2)

”ShadowGod butterfly has irregular, asymmetrical patterns on their body. They can use charms and hypnotism just by unfurling their wings. Adult ones can even make the opponent hallucinate the battle. Their wings are strong, but not strong enough to withstand anything stronger than a level 4 body cultivator. They have 8 eyes but only use 4 of their eyes to see. The remaining 4 they use to see the mental state of their opponent directly….”

Ning continued for a while explaining in detail every single fact he could remember about the ShadowGod Butterflies. It wasn't until Keng asked Ning to stop that Ning halted his information dump.

Gonez looked with wide eyes at the sheer amount of knowledge Ning knew about the beast. 'What the F*ck?! How the F*ck does an alchemist know these things?” Gonez couldn't comprehend what was happening.

”I… think that means teacher Ning wins this round, right?” Maeve asked as if she was looking for approval from Keng. Keng too was unsure what to think.

”That can't be,” Gonez interfered. ”I was given the wrong beast to speak about. If it was any other beast, I wouldn't have made such a mistake. Even Senior Keng didn't know about it.”

Keng felt some truth in what Gonez said and was about to ask Maeve to redo the 3rd round when Ning walked forward.

”Teacher Ning?” he spoke, but Ning did nothing. ”Miss Maeve, can you open this cage for me please?”

”Uh, the toucan's cage? Sure” Maeve said and walked forward to the Indigold Toucan. She then opened the cage and the nervous toucan walked into the midst of the hundreds of cultivators and started to get scared.

”Don't worry. We are not going to hurt you,” Ning said to the toucan. The toucan got a little less scared when he heard Ning speak.

Ning then pulled out two objects from his storage. Keng and Maeve got a little confused at first, but when they saw the objects they understood.

Ning placed the first object on the right and then the second object on the left. ”Choose!” he said.

The toucan looked to the left and it started getting happy when it saw the Firegrapes. However, just as it was about to move, it smelled something, and as if it had fallen onto a trance, it started salivating and moving towards the black fruit.

It didn't hesitate a moment before it devoured the whole thing. After it was finished, it moved back towards Ning instead of the Firegrapes to ask for more.

Ning smiled and gave him another black fruit which it ate slowly this time.

”This proves it right?” Ning asked.

”Y-Yes,” Maeve said with a daze. She couldn't believe that Keng's book was wrong. Keng too looked apologetic.

”Teacher Gonez, if you can come up with a fact for the toucan, I might consider making the 2nd round a draw,” Maeve said.

”Yes! Yes, I will say it,” Gonez said and started to furiously rack his head. However, there was no way he could. His last answer was the best he could come up with after so many other facts.

”Uh…” he tried to stall for time but Maeve saw through it quite easily. She waited for a few seconds more, but after understanding he didn't have an answer, she decided to call it.

”It seems you couldn't continue teacher Gonez, so the 2nd round goes to teacher Ning. Since he won the first 2 rounds, the 3rd round is unnecessary. Thus, this duel has been won by teacher Ning.”

”As per the agreement, you will now stop interacting with the disciple as per teacher Ning's bet. That's all.”

As soon as Gonez heard it, he fell on his knees, unbelieving of his loss.
