226: Kicking on the Steel Plate
Just like in the original time and space, the opponent of the Shrek team on the first day was the Barak team.
Due to the recent incidents, the members of the Barak team had lost their fighting spirit. They neither mocked the Shrek team nor cared about the outcome of the game.
One by one, they walked onto the ring like zombies.
Not knowing the opponent's strength, Yu Xiaogang's arrangement was relatively conservative. As a result, Huang Yuan and Jing Ling eliminated five opponents in succession.
Dai Mubai exclaimed in surprise, if he was the first to appear on the court, he might have a chance to win the game against seven opponents at once.
The first day of competition came to an end quickly.
All teams were still in the testing phase for today's game. Except for the Wind and Fire Team, the other teams played very conservatively. Even a one-on-four situation was rare.
At night, Feng Wutan saw that everyone had to stay in the tent and couldn't bear to assign them any extra tasks. After letting everyone move around freely, he returned to his room alone and studied his opponent.
Qi Tian had nothing to do, so he made a deck of playing cards and spent some time with Feng Xiaotian and others.
It was midnight before everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
"Qitian, come out." Suddenly, a low voice floated into his ears.
Qi Tian slowly sat up and looked towards the entrance of the tent.
This was the first time he had heard this voice, and he didn't recognize the owner of the voice.
"If it's not Tang Hao's voice, whose voice could it be?"
When he was in the Holy Soul Village, he had heard Tang Hao's voice many times and would never forget it.
With curiosity, I walked out of the tent and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
After all, this is a military camp, and there are many soldiers patrolling at night. Seeing that Qi Tian is a contestant, they did not ask him anything, just thinking that he was getting up at night.
Not long after, Qi Tian climbed over some bushes and saw the source of the sound.
"The Gaishi Longshan couple?"
He knew the snake lady Chao Tianxiang, so the person next to her could only be the Dragon Lord Meng Shu.
"Boy, were you the one who stole Yiran's spirit ring?" Lord Long said in a muffled voice.
After recovering from his shock, Qi Tian spoke with a hint of laughter in his voice, "Why, Senior Long Gong, are you planning to settle the score later?"
Meng Shu was an old veteran in the spirit master world, after all. Didn't he know that if he took action here, he would be targeted? The Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect did not leave.
With Chen Xin's perception, Meng Shu would be discovered as long as he exerted his soul power slightly.
"Boy, is this how you talk to your seniors?" Chao Tianxiang said with an unhappy look on his face.
Qi Tianke was too lazy to pay attention to them. "Snake lady Chao Tianxiang, you personally checked the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake in the Xingdou Great Forest, and it didn't have the wound you mentioned. What's the matter? You felt that you were not strong enough on your own at that time, and now that you have someone to back you up, you want to deny it? You are disrespectful to the elderly, and you don't deserve respect."
"What an articulate brat!" Chao Tianxiang felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Did she not want to refute at that time? It was obvious that Zhao Wuji was watching her closely, and she was forced to compromise for the safety of herself and Meng Yiran.
"Let's not talk about what happened before. Just because of your tone, I will definitely teach you a lesson today." Meng Shu walked forward step by step, holding a dragon-headed cane.
Qi Tian was of course not afraid, as he had a dummy in his hand. If Lord Long really dared to attack him, the explosion of the dummy would surely be discovered. At that time, they would be the ones in trouble.
Qi Tian said with a teasing look on his face: "It seems that Lord Long wants to have the Exotic Beast Academy expelled from this competition? The last time he attacked a participating student, the grass has already grown on his grave. Do you want to follow in his footsteps?"
The events of that year were reported to the entire empire, so Meng Shu certainly knew about it.
"Boy, if I want to attack you, even the Tiandou Empire will not care. I will isolate the aura here and see who can save you."
"So, you are confident in your own abilities?"
"It's enough to deal with you, the Soul King!"
Qi Tianyou sighed, "Old monster, if you don't show up again, I can't continue acting."
"There's someone else!" Meng Shu immediately retreated to Chao Tianxiang's side and looked around vigilantly.
Dugu Bo had already arrived at the royal enclosure, but due to his strength, outsiders did not notice his presence.
"Unrivaled Dragon and Snake Couple, don't even think you have the strength to rival a Titled Douluo. Even if you were a Titled Douluo, I wouldn't let you be so presumptuous."
In the dark night, a pair of cold snake eyes appeared behind Qi Tian, staring at Long Gong and the other two.
"Dugu Bo, is he your man?" Duke Long asked in a deep voice.
Meng Shu felt regretful that he had acted rashly without investigating Qi Tian's background. He did not expect that he would provoke such a powerful man.
The fusion skills of their martial souls can indeed compete with Titled Douluo, but it is just a competition; even if it is a newly promoted Titled Douluo, as long as they have the intention to kill, they will surely die.
Not to mention veteran strongmen like Dugu Bo.
"Thank you, old monster." Qi Tian said with a smile.
Dugu Bo responded calmly, "Little monster, go back and rest first, and I will take care of the rest."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Meng Shu felt bitter.
The way they addressed each other clearly showed that they were not in a master-disciple relationship, but rather a term of address between friends.
Can Qi Tian be an ordinary person if he can become friends with Titled Douluo?
"Your Majesty Dugu, these are all misunderstandings. I just want to find Qi Tian and ask him about what happened in the Xingdou Great Forest."
Dugu Bo sneered, "Do you think I will believe it?"
"This..." Meng Shu was speechless for a moment.
Dugu Bo is not a young boy who has just been born. How could he not see what he did just now?
The snake woman said to Tianxiang quickly: "Your Majesty Dugu, these are all misunderstandings. The old man just saw Qi Tian's talent and wanted to test him. The purpose of our doing this is just to make him the ideal husband for our granddaughter."
"I also have a granddaughter, why should I give her to you?" Dugu Bo asked back.
Chaotianxiang fell silent.
Meng Shu sighed, knowing that he was going to bleed this time. "Your Majesty Dugu, we have no grudges in the past and no hatred in the present. This matter was caused by our husband and wife. You name a price, and as long as we are able, we will definitely offer it with both hands."
Since the last battle with Tang Hao, Dugu Bo has always been adhering to the attitude of never taking action if he can only talk. It is true that he has the ability to kill the opponent, but the price he needs to pay is also not small. It is enough to be able to blackmail him.
"Okay, a piece of ten thousand year soul bone, as long as you can produce it, this matter will be written off."
"Your Majesty Dugu, you are asking for too much!" Meng Shu said with a stiff face.
"As money to buy the lives of your family of three, a ten thousand year soul bone is already very cheap." Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a momentum to take action.
Meng Shu didn't have a single soul bone in his body, so it was impossible for him to fulfill Dugu Bo's conditions.
In the end, he took out gold soul coins and treasures equivalent to ten thousand year soul bones, and only then did he calm the matter down.
