616 Today’s Update Is So Early, It Really Seems Unreal. (2/2)
”Simply speaking, it is carefully arranged to fit into somebody's taste. Ten days ago, Four Element Supreme and Black and White Patriarch were playing go on the Silent Island. The go piece of Four Element Supreme was a step behind when Luo Xiao, perfectly on the right moment, passed by. Then he secretly supported Four Element Supreme with one marvelous move, turning defeat into victory for the Four Element Supreme. In exultation, Four Element Supreme asked Luo Xiao what was his request. Luo Xiao asked to be accepted as successor disciple. Four Element Supreme then brought up three tests, which he completed one after another. Finally, Four Element Supreme could not back down from his words and accept him.”
Upon hearing this, Hai Yunfan could not help but laugh. ”It turns out Four Element Supreme is a go addict and he pays particular attention to victory or defeat. The Black and White Patriarch has been his opponent for many years, but he lost more than he won. If someone could help him win in a match, it's possible that he might forget himself and promise that someone an extremely high reward. But, let's just forget the several tests that he later gave, the chess skill of Four Element Supreme and Black and White Patriarch could be considered as the top standard in Nine Regions, the Black and White Patriarch has even left The Immortal Chest Manual, so how could he be able to participate in their match? Moreover, he was even able to help Four Element Supreme win against the Black and White Patriarch?”
Wang Lu said, ”Perhaps he is a peerless genius? Or that he accidentally found an ancient inheritance and thus was possessed by a divine go master? The go thing is not important, the important thing is…”
Wang Lu pointed to a newly drawn chart with multiple upward curves with striking colors.
”This is his progress in various events during the training period. What do you think?”
Hai Yunfan picked up the chart and looked at it. ”Amazing…”
Wang Lu said, ”Correct, it's no less than the progress speed of the lead disciples of the Five Uniques, moreover, it's very comprehensive. Such a talent is rare even in this era of talented generation. It was only when Four Element Supreme saw this that he reluctantly accepted a cultivator form humble origins…”
”Then that means, Luo Xiao is indeed a rare talent. Why don't you put aside your prejudice and make good use of his strength?” Hai Yunfan said with a smile.
Wang Lu did not give any reply.
So far, apart from intuition, he really could not find any evidence to prove what was wrong with Luo Xiao. However, intuition could only convince himself but not others. Even Hai Yunfan, listening to the intuition explanation, would only doubt. For normal people, they would feel that Wang Lu was jealous of Luo Xiao and thus created trouble for him.
Therefore, since there was no use in saying it, he might as well just shut up.
Seeing Wang Lu's hesitant face, Hai Yunfan no longer dwelled on this matter and said, ”Tomorrow there's going to be a pre-match meeting with the Earth Immortals, why don't you see if there's any more preparation that you need to do?”
Wang Lu said, ”Oh, that's right, thank you for reminding me, I almost forgot… Let me check my equipment.”
With that, Wang Lu picked up his mustard seed bag and took out his equipment props one by one for inspection. These included blood sealing throat of exterminating immortal powder, golden thunder origin cone that could blast a mountain range into a plain, instant rejuvenation spring pill… While Wang Lu was rummaging his equipment, Hai Yunfan burst into cold sweat.
”Wang Lu, are you going to the meeting in peace or to stir up trouble?”
Upon hearing this, Wang Lu sneered. ”Little Hai, living as a family man has indeed turned you into a fool. How could this pre-match meeting be anything but peaceful? This must be a f*cking fight! Fighting out the imposing manner, fighting out the elegant bearing, fighting out everything in order to raise the morale before the grand competition officially begins.”
”... Previously, you never said that you want an open fight against the Earth Immortal tomorrow.”
”Do I even need to say it? Little Hai, how could a secretary like you not understand? Think about it, this meeting is the last meeting between the two groups before the competition. Next time, the two groups are going to have a big fight, so don't you want to probe the other side's situation in advance? To see what cards the other party has? But, to probe the actual situation, in addition to directly make your move, is there any more effective way?”
”Umm… so you want to personally make your move?”
”Is there anyone more suitable than me? Among the top-level Jindan, in terms of winning chance against the Earth Immortals, I am simply better than the others… In addition, strong observation and analytical ability can guarantee that I get the most intelligence in the fight. Lastly, I am the chief planner of the events, and all the controversial proposals during this training period were put forward by me. If I don't personally fight against the Earth Immortal, the doubtful voice of those common people would not stop.”
Hai Yunfan thought to himself and then said, ”Actually, there's no need to trouble yourself like that. If you lose one of those cross-stage confrontations and become a beautiful girl like everyone else, there wouldn't be so many people who voice out their doubts.”
Wang Lu waved his hand. ”Knock it off. My wisdom and beauty would only make more people fall into despair, so no need to bring up this cross-dressing thing anymore.”
Then, after checking all the equipment items, Wang Lu put them all back in his mustard seed bag. After placing a seal on its lid, Wang Lu's whole appearance turned murderous. Even Hai Yunfan, as his secretary, could not help but take a few steps back.
”Very good, at least in terms of imposing manner, I won't lose to the other party…”
As he said that, Wang Lu seemed to remember something and then took the plain white cloth at his desk and put it into his bosom.
