Chapter 1162 - 222: The President’s Identity
The Intermediate Elixir Puppet is indeed formidable.
But no matter how formidable, it can’t compare to the Qian Cauldron that absorbed the Five Spirits.
It turned out that just when Ye Lingyue was at a loss, the Cauldron Spirit suddenly interrupted, reminding Ye Lingyue that she could merge with the Qian Cauldron.
Ye Lingyue had experienced merging with the Qian Cauldron once before, but at that time, the Cauldron Spirit hadn’t formed yet.
Ye Lingyue would have to transform into a cauldron shape to help her fend off enemies, but doing so would expose her possession of the Solid Rank cauldron.
So up to now, she had only used the Qian Cauldron to protect herself once.
Now that the Cauldron Spirit had formed, combined with breaking through as a Ding Saint, the effect of the Indomitable Tripod Body was even more powerful than before, but the duration was very limited.
The Intermediate Elixir Puppet, compared to the Indomitable Tripod Body of the Cauldron Spirit, was simply weak.
The Intermediate Elixir Puppet was smashed into pieces with just one collision.
Lady Dan saw her Intermediate Elixir Puppet destroyed, her mental defenses completely collapsed, and she had to concede defeat, leading the Wu Wu Team to another victory.
In the waiting area, the contestants who witnessed this scene were all talking about it.
Especially the Female and Male Killers, who were originally waiting to watch a good show, but didn’t expect Lady Dan to end with a surrender.
"Lady Dan really messed up this time, losing to two newcomers, that Elixir Puppet of hers was just too useless."
The Female and Male Killers said disdainfully.
Earlier they heard Lady Dan boast about how formidable her Elixir Puppet was, but when it came to the crucial moment, it was nothing more than a paper tiger, looking good but useless.
However, Lady Dan’s defeat was good news for the Female and Male Killers.
They didn’t consider the Wu Wu Team a real threat despite Lady Dan’s unexpected defeat. In their view, at most, Ye Lingyue’s armor was somewhat peculiar.
But now that they have re-engraved spiritual patterns on their spiritual artifacts, dealing with that armor would be more than enough.
For the Female and Male Killers, the only obstacle to winning the championship was Yuan Xing and the "Mu Huo Team."
"Mu, the match is over. Why are you still staring at those two?"
Fire Spirit Ziyan looked at Yue Mubai curiously, having never seen him so serious.
Yue Mubai was not as unobservant as the Female and Male Killers. Having already competed with Lady Dan in spiritual power, he could roughly gauge Lady Dan’s strength, which had only recently broken through to Fang Venerate.
An Intermediate Elixir Puppet refined by a Fang Venerate-level alchemist couldn’t possibly shatter upon a single collision.
There are only two possibilities: either the man in heavy armor is concealing his true strength, being a martial artist with astonishing power.
The other possibility is that the armor itself is a spiritual artifact surpassing Heaven Rank, which alone could instantly destroy an Intermediate Elixir Puppet.
But in either case, the strength of the Wu Wu Team far exceeded Yue Mubai’s initial expectations.
Like the Yin Yang Double Killers, Yue Mubai did not consider the Wu Wu Team as a contender for the championship, but now it seemed he needed to be extra cautious of the man in heavy armor.
"That Elixir Puppet is indeed a genuine Intermediate Elixir Puppet. That man in armor is not simple." Yue Mubai said gravely.
"So what if he’s not simple, could he be stronger than you and me combined? Even if his armor is powerful, I can directly use the Primordial Fire to burn him to death." Fire Spirit Ziyan said casually.
With her cultivation, as long as she doesn’t encounter a Divine Power Realm expert, she can use the Primordial Fire to instantly kill her opponent.
However, a Divine Power Realm expert is unlikely to appear in a Newbie City like Huangquan City.
Thinking of this, Yue Mubai felt somewhat relieved.
In the VIP area of the arena, the reactions of the three chairmen and the president and vice-president of the Heroic Society were also quite varied.
The three chairmen were surprised that a dark horse had emerged halfway through, and this dark horse was someone they had completely overlooked before.
Their faces didn’t look good, especially the chairman of the Jin Wannian Commerce, who had a long face.
It’s known that to obtain the Spirit Stone Veins of the other two chairmen, he had invested heavily, hiring the Female and Male Killers to return from the Central Plains, bribing the manager of Cold Mountain Inn to carve spiritual patterns for the Female and Male Killers, and even resorted to sabotaging the spiritual patterns on Yuan Xing’s spiritual artifacts.
He expected that this would lead to the Female and Male Killers naturally taking first place, who would have thought the Wu Wu Team would appear?
If the Wu Wu Team won, wouldn’t that mean he’d lose everything, even having to give up his Spirit Stone Vein?
Chairman Jin secretly resolved that he couldn’t let this happen at any cost.
Meanwhile, in another VIP room, Tan Su also had a look of embarrassment on her face.
"It seems you’ll lose this time."
The president of the Heroic Society, with amorous eyes, glimmered with a teasing look.
"President, until the last match, the outcome is unknown. Although the Wu Wu Team’s performance surprised me, I still think the Mu Huo Team is superior. Besides, I would like to wager, if... if the Mu Huo Team wins in the end, I hope the President will give me a chance."
Tan Su abruptly changed her tone, gazing intently at the President.
"What kind of opportunity?" The president looked at Tan Su.
"I hope the president can accept me, let me be your woman." Under her fiery red hair, Tan Su’s eyes looked tenderly at the president.
From the first time she saw the president, she liked him.
However, the president had always been indifferent towards her.
She was unwilling to remain just a subordinate in his eyes.
"I’m sorry, Tan Su, I can agree to any other condition except this one. I have someone I love." The president resolutely rejected Tan Su’s request.
"Impossible, in the past two years, you haven’t had any woman."
Tan Su refused to believe it.
She had known the president for more than two years. They were both ordinary Demon Hunters at the beginning, lived and died together, and it was she who recommended him to join the Heroic Society.
She had been treading carefully in the Heroic Society, and when the old president had designs on her, it was he who stood up and plotted to get rid of the old president.
She had always thought he had feelings for her too.
"The one I love, to be precise, is not in the Ancient Nine Provinces; she is in a very distant place. I came here because I didn’t have the ability to protect her. I want to make myself stronger so that I can protect her and be qualified to be her man."
Talking about the one he loves, the president of the Heroic Society revealed an unprecedented complex emotion in his eyes.
That emotion seemed to be missing, melancholy, and mixed with a bit of tenderness.
His thoughts seemed to fly to the far side of the world.
This president was someone Tan Su had never recognized before.
