495 I have a sVajra Body Defendings book (2/2)
”Ah! Ah! Ah~”
The old man refused to play second fiddle and immediately shouted louder than the maniacs.
The man in shades was staring in a dumbfounded manner as he sensed the 'burning' gazes from the audience stands. He hurriedly slipped behind the red-goateed old man and cursed in his heart.
The good fortune of three lives my ass. It's clearly the punishment from ten lives worth of sin!
The man carefully probed his head out and looked at the passageway to see the 'culprit'.
The person who walked out was a thin youth. He had stylish black hair with a cut face. His facial features were distinct with sword-like eyebrows and brilliant looking eyes. He had a cold expression and he could not be deemed handsome, but he was very cool. The stylishness he demonstrated during the tournament had destroyed several fanatics that had raging hormones.
”This person is Wei Long,” said the man in shades with a cough. ”God of Assassination Wei Tai's son. Well-versed in the art of assassination. He is proficient at hidden blades and shadow strikes. He has extremely fast speed and he can have astounding bursts of speed. On a certain level, he can restrain Bunny Cao and is the only rookie at the tournament who had a chance of defeating Bunny Cao. Unfortunately, he had encountered Chen Lingcun in the quarter-finals. He had stabbed Chen Lingcun in the back but failed to break his defense. Finally, he was punched out of the arena with one strike.”
The red-goateed old man finally stopped his 'wailing' upon hearing his subordinate's description. He stroked his goatee and said softly, ”That punk, Wei Tai, is actually willing to expose his son. It looks like he can't bear nurturing his son into an assassin and wants to make him a hero assassin... If there is a chance, I can actually help him.”
His subordinate looked at Wei Long in envy. He thought to himself how lucky these children were. Who said that people born in the same era as Bunny Cao and Speechless Li had been born in the wrong era? If not for the two children, 'that matter' would absolutely not have happened. This bunch of children would also not have such great opportunities.
The host quickly finished introducing Wei Long since there was not much information about him as he was the God of Assassination, Wei Tai's son.
”Tinkle—”
Chimes were heard from the passageway before a petite young girl in Daoist robes walked out of the passageway slowly.
The girl in Daoist robes had elegant features and her black, lustrous hair was tied into a Daoist bun. Her eyes were as bright as the stars and she wore a white Daoist robe with flowery patterns. There was a white brocade by her waist that hung several bells. With each step, her bells would shake incessantly.
”Tinkle—”
As the audience looked toward the petite girl in Daoist robes, they suddenly recalled her diligent performance in the arena. Immediately, they broke out into thunderous cheers.
The man with the shades also revealed an appreciative look as he said, ”Your Excellency, this girl is a female disciple of the Three Clarities Daoist Temple. Her name is Petite Yu and she is proficient in Daoist arts. However, it's mostly supportive techniques so she isn't skilled at duels. Despite that, she became a dark horse during the tournament selection by managing to squeeze into the top eight.”
”Like Chen Lingcun, she had used her affiliations to enter an autonomous university, forcefully gaining the qualifications to participate in the selection. Apparently, it has to do with her senior brother's participation in the collective training selection so she had pleaded with the old Daoist priest for permission to participate in it. The old Daoist priest thought that it was impossible for her to enter the top ten, considering how she had only cultivated in supportive Daoist arts, but Petite Yu had managed to use the eight Daoist incantations that she was unfamiliar with to defeat one opponent after another. It is apparent how talented she is.”
The old man nodded and said with a smile, ”Not bad!”
Truly, there were very few rookies that focused on supportive skills. It was not easy for a person to enter the top ten in the selection tournament based on her own strength.
Without holding back, the host similarly spewed out praises for Petite Yu. His praise for her made her blush slightly. She was a shy person, to begin with, so under the gazes of so many people, she was eager to shy away.
At that moment, Xiao Xiao, who was standing close to her, gave her a friendly smile. It immediately left Petite extremely touched as she hurriedly moved close to Xiao Xiao. Out of the top ten rookies for the tournament selection, there were only three girls. It was truly a depressing sausage fest.
Petite stayed close to Xiao Xiao and immediately, she felt safe. With the two beauties standing close together, it became a beautiful scene. It attracted the gazes of the audience.
And at this moment, a rookie walked out of the passageway at an inopportune moment. It made the audience draw a gasp when they turned to look at him.
They felt that the change of scenery was too drastic, making them turn their gaze back.
It was no wonder the audience acted so. It was because the rookie that had appeared was an intolerable sight to the eyes.
He was a stout man. His arms and back were bulging with muscles like a dragon. They seemed to contain immense power and he had a face that wasn't too much to be described as 'extremely vicious'. A patch of hair that circled the remaining black hair had been trimmed away, and in the middle of his head was yellow hair that stood up like a rooster's crown. His slightly widened eyes seemed to be filled with flames of anger, while a hideous scar went from his forehead down past his right eye. His mustache was a messy scrawl, and a prominent double chin brought out the terrifying weirdness of his face.
The man in shades took a glance at his information and his expression changed slightly. With a sigh, he said, ”His name is originally Ye Youtian and now, he has taken on the alias, Ye Jiaquan. He was once a 'wolf cub' reared by Seven Duke Wolf...”
Upon hearing the words Seven Duke, the gaze under the old man's shades changed slightly.IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said ””, but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
