Chapter 1180 – Aren"t You Just Looking For A Woman?
After speaking to Tao Ke, Ma Fenglei turned to Zhao Hai and said, "You"re Zhao Hai? Good, very good. Let this old Ma express his grat.i.tude."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Bishop Ma is too polite. Sun Fei and I are friends. And since Sun Fei is from the Fire Temple, it"s natural that I would help him. I hope that Bishop Ma wouldn"t think that I"m budging into your matters."
When he heard Zhao Hai, Ma Fenglei laughed and said, "Kid, you"re quite interesting. Why would I think that? There are some people in the Machine Field who think that the Magic Church Alliance had become weak. They"re like dogs and cats that can"t wait to urinate on our territories. What a joke. Even ants from the Machine Field Army dared to spit on our faces. Hahaha. And he doesn"t even represent the army. Even if those old commanders come here, they would still need my approval to do anything."
Zhao Hai didn"t say anything as he just smiled. But on the other hand, Tao Ke turned pale white. If other people have said this, then he might not care. However, it was Ma Fenglei, often called Crazy Ma by a lot of people. There was nothing that he wouldn"t dare to do.
Seeing that Zhao Hai didn"t respond, Ma Fenglei turned his eyes back to Tao Ke. He sneered and said, "What? You want to test my patience? Captain Tao Ke, right? I"ll start with you." Then he waved his hand, causing Tao Ke to be held down by one of the Fire Temple"s men. Tao Ke was pinned to the ground, but he didn"t do anything to resist.
After taking Tao Ke down, Ma Fenglei said, "Find those people who came here earlier. Then send word to the Machine Field Army about what happened. Have them deal with their own men. If they can"t do it, then this Ma Fenglei will discipline them myself!" After Ma Fenglei said this, one of his men immediately complied and left to do the task.
Seeing that the situation has been handled, Ma Fenglei turned to Zhao Hai as he smiled and said, "Zhao Hai, you did well. However, this matter will bring you quite the trouble. How do you plan to deal with it?"
Zhao Hai nonchalantly smiled and said, "How to deal with it? I"ll do the same as Bishop Ma. In the compet.i.tion, I"ll make sure to erase any person from the Machine Field Army unlucky enough to face me." Zhao Hai was smiling the entire time he said this line. He didn"t have any hint of killing aura on him at all. His tone was natural and peaceful, it was as though he was talking with some folks while eating some steamed buns.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Ma Fenglei"s pupils shrunk for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Good, good. Hahaha. So Zhao Hai, why don"t you join my Fire Temple? If you do, I"ll make you a Camp Lord."
Upon hearing Ma Fenglei, Xiong Li and the others couldn"t help but suck in cold air. There were no ascender Camp Lords in the entire Machine Field. Ma Fenglei"s appreciation for Zhao Hai actually made him invite Zhao Hai to be a Camp Lord. This was a very important matter.
Zhao Hai looked at Ma Fenglei, then he smiled faintly and said, "Bishop Ma must be joking. You should be aware of my relations.h.i.+p with Margaret. How could I join the Fire Temple?"
Ma Fenglei looked at Zhao Hai and said, "I see no reason why not. Aren"t you just looking for a woman? As long as you join the Fire Temple, you can have all the women you want."
Zhao Hai stared at Ma Fenglei, then he laughed and said, "Bishop Ma, you think this Zhao Hai is lacking women? Aren"t you looking down on me too much?"
Hearing Zhao Hai"s response, Xiong Li and the others couldn"t help but get nervous. Ma Fenglei"s temperament was very infamous in the Machine Field. Zhao Hai was probably the first person to talk to Ma Fenglei like this in the past several years.
However, their worries were blown away when Ma Fenglei suddenly burst out laughing as he said, "Good, good. I haven"t misjudged you." Then he turned his hand before throwing something towards Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai caught the object and saw that it was a small badge.
Zhao Hai looked at Ma Fenglei in confusion. Ma Fenglei smiled faintly and said, "It"s a Guest Badge of the Fire Temple. We have a lot of guest experts in the Temple. Since you don"t want to join us, take that instead."
Upon hearing Ma Fenglei, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Alright, then I"ll be impolite and take this. This Zhao Hai thanks Bishop Ma." Ma Fenglei laughed once more before he waved his hand and left the restaurant.
When Ma Fenglei left, Zhao Hai turned to look at Xiong Li and the others and said, "We haven"t eaten yet but people have already been disturbing us. But it seems like n.o.body will disturb us now. Let"s eat! We"re not leaving this place until we"re drunk."
Xiong Li looked at Zhao Hai and then he suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Zhao, I really admire your courage. Did you know that n.o.body talks to Ma Fenglei like that? Even Machine Field natives wouldn"t dare, much less ascenders."
Zhao Hai just smiled and didn"t say anything. He believed that Ma Fenglei wouldn"t move against him. Moreover, the Fire Temple was currently at its weakest point. If Ma Fenglei decided to attack Zhao Hai, then he"s not worthy of the position of Bishop.
The reason why Ma Fenglei dared to publicly berate the Machine Field Army was because he didn"t only have the Fire Temple at his back, the Church Alliance would also support him.
Because of the recent event, the Divine Earth Palace and the Fire Temple were heavily damaged. It can be said that their vitality had suffered an injury. These two churches were very important pillars of the Church Alliance. Damage to these two would also damage the alliance. Because of this, the Alliance has to be united at this time. Whether it be the Warrior a.s.sociation or the Machine Field Army, the Alliance would certainly counter-attack if either of these two dared to move against them.
Therefore, Ma Fenglei dared to offend the Machine Field Army at this time. However, Ma Fenglei wouldn"t offend Zhao Hai. This was because Zhao Hai held a very special status in the Ashley Family. Ma Fenglei also received information that the Ashley Family had withdrawn all of their partic.i.p.ants save for Zhao Hai. In this case, if Ma Fenglei dared to touch Zhao Hai, then the Ashley Family would certainly retaliate heavily.
Actually, even if the Fire Temple was damaged, it was still not afraid of the Ashley Family. However, the Ashley Family was an important pillar of the Dark Church. If they fought with the Ashley Family, the Dark Church would certainly insert themselves. This was something that the Fire Temple would never want to happen.
Due to these considerations, Zhao Hai determined that Ma Fenglei wouldn"t do anything to him. Moreover, from what Zhao Hai can see, Ma Fenglei wasn"t the sort of person to do that.
The group returned to their private room. When they got settled in, the staff immediately brought in meat and wine. Moreover, it can be seen that the items they brought in were the best quality goods. It was obvious that they were very thankful for what Zhao Hai and the others did.
After the staff left the room, Dongfang Yu looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Zhao, are you really planning to erase the Machine Field Army"s people in the qualifiers?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I am, but I"ll have to look more into the matter. After all, I don"t just represent myself, I"m also carrying the Ashley Family"s name. I don"t want to cause trouble for the family. If the Machine Field Army is really concerned about their pride, then I"ll have no choice but to be impolite."
Dongfang Yu looked at Zhao Hai then he laughed and said, "Good, good. Hahaha. If they really hold on to their pride, then make sure to inform me. If I meet anyone from the Machine Field Army, I"ll also destroy them."
Xiong Li laughed and said, "Why are you two making plans on your own? Count me in!"
"Me too!", Sun Fei said as he lifted his wine gla.s.s. Everyone laughed before they clinked their gla.s.ses and downed their wine in one go.
The group ate meat and drank wine until they could no longer consume anything. When they wanted to get the check, the restaurant staff told them that their meal was free of charge.
Zhao Hai wasn"t too polite and expressed his thanks before leaving the restaurant. Just as Zhao Hai got outside, his driver greeted him and said, "Mister Zhao Hai, the General Manager want me to tell you that he has something to talk to you about."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned his head to Xiong Li and the others and said, "Brother Xiong, Brother Dongfang, Brother Sun, I"ll have to leave first. Let"s share more drinks in the future whenever we"re free."
Xiong Li and the others held their fists to salute Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai returned the gesture before he got into the car. Looking at Zhao Hai"s car quickly speeding out of sight, Xiong Li sighed and said, "Brother Zhao is truly not an average person. I can"t compare to him."
Dongfang Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Not just you. Even those old foxes wouldn"t compare to Zhao Hai. It"s ridiculous to think that I expected him to be someone who only knows how to cultivate. He certainly wasn"t an ordinary person back in the lower realms."
Sun Fei nodded, "Brother Hai is strong. However, he wouldn"t kill people easily. But if you become his enemy, then your future won’t be bright. It"s fortunate that I was able to meet you outside the stadium. If I didn"t apologize, then I might suffer in the future."
When Xiong Li and Dongfang Yu heard Sun Fei, they couldn’t help but laugh. They knew that what Sun Fei said was right. If he didn"t meet them, then he would certainly suffer under Zhao Hai. After all, they were in a hostile relations.h.i.+p before.
But what the three didn"t know was that they were beginning to subconsciously think that they were no match against Zhao Hai. It was only a matter of time before they would truly be defeated.
The three exchanged a few more words before bidding each other farewell. They needed to find a place to digest their experiences today. They also needed to tell their groups about what just transpired so that they could make the right preparations. After all, this incident involved a lot of big groups. And they believed that this incident was the exact reason why the Ashley Family called Zhao Hai back.
Chapter 1181 – Suppression Using a Magnificent Cover
After Zhao Hai boarded the car, he immediately took out some spatial water and then drank it. So after the car arrived at its destination, Zhao Hai was refreshed.
Upon getting off the car, Zhao Hai directly went upstairs before he was led to Cadjo"s room by a robot.
When they arrived outside Cadjo"s room, the robot knocked twice and said, "General Manager, Mister Zhao Hai is here."
Cadjo quickly replied, "Come in."
Zhao Hai pushed the door and walked in. He saw Cadjo, Desbarres, and Luke inside. Zhao Hai gave the three men a salute. Cadjo waved his hand and said, "Little Hai, I just received a message from Old Ma Fenglei. He expressed his grat.i.tude and said that he made you a guest expert of the Fire Temple. What is going on?"
Zhao Hai smiled and then told everyone about what just happened while in Delin"s Barbecue. Cadjo and the others were intently listening. After Zhao Hai finished talking, Cadjo nodded and said, "So it"s like that. Good, very good. Although you offended the Machine Field Army, you managed to hook the Fire Temple in. We already established a connection with the Wu Family, and now there is the Fire Temple. This is going to be good for us. After all, the Fire Temple has a huge influence in the Church Alliance. With our relations.h.i.+p with the Warrior a.s.sociation and the Church Alliance, offending the Machine Field Army is nothing."
Desbarres nodded and said, "I also think that today"s matter isn"t an accident. It"s possible that the Machine Field Army sent those people to probe us. Otherwise, those Mech Soldiers wouldn"t have been that courageous. They should be the first ones to know what would happen if they caused any disturbance in Machine Field Planet."
Luke nodded as well and added, "Delin"s Barbecue is a very famous establishment in the planet. Almost everyone knew that it belonged to the Fire Temple. However, those mech soldiers actually dared to cause trouble there. This matter isn"t simple. Cadjo, I think we should report this matter to the Patriarch. This way, he would make some preparations."
Cadjo nodded, "I"ll send word to the Patriarch. At the same time, I"ll get in contact with the Wu Family and the Fire Temple. It"s best if we can contact the other Churches as well, just to make sure."
Luke nodded and said, "The Machine Field Army has five seeded partic.i.p.ants in the compet.i.tion. Little Hai, they might try to deal with you. You should prepare."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and nodded. Cadjo looked at Zhao Hai and said, "If the Machine Field Army doesn"t go too hard, let them go. However, if they dared to be excessive, you don"t have to be polite. Just kill them!"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "You can rest a.s.sured, General Manager. I know what to do."
Cadjo nodded, "Alright, you can go take a rest. Although the Machine Field Planet looks very calm, you shouldn"t underestimate the undercurrents happening within. You need to be more careful." Zhao Hai nodded, before he bowed and left the room.
After Zhao Hai left, Cadjo smiled faintly and said, "Hmm, I didn"t expect the Machine Field army"s action to give the Ashley Family an opportunity. If we can make the Wu Family and the Fire Temple our allies, then it would be very good for the family."
Desbarres smiled and said, "To be honest, this is due to Little Hai"s luck. If it weren"t for him, then we wouldn"t have been able to establish a connection with the Fire Temple. He actually managed to become a guest expert of the temple. It seems like Old Ma Fenglei really appreciated Zhao Hai."
Cadjo nodded and said, "I didn"t expect Little Hai to amuse Ma Fenglei. Also, Little Hai actually refused a Camp Lord position. That"s quite a rich offer."
Desbarres smiled and said, "Old Ma didn"t expect Zhao Hai to care little about money and status. He"s more concerned about sentiment. Little Hai already connected himself with the Bone Symbol Camp. As long as the family doesn"t harm him, I believe he wouldn"t leave."
Luke sighed and said, "Little Hai is just too strong. I"m afraid the Ashley Family wouldn"t be able to keep him. Our Ashley Family is just too small. A character as great as him would leave sooner or later."
Cadjo replied, "If he leaves, then we can"t do anything about it. As long as the Ashley Family is in his heart, we could still rely on him when we encounter any trouble."
Desbarres nodded, "Right, I have the same thought."
….
By this time, Zhao Hai had already returned to his room. As soon as he entered, Zhao Hai immediately went to the s.p.a.ce. Margaret already went ahead of him.
Seeing Zhao Hai arrive, Margaret and the others immediately welcomed him. Especially Margaret, whose face was full of worry. After some time, she said, "Brother Hai, you"re being too risky this time. Ma Fenglei is a difficult person to face. If he decided to deal with you, then it"ll be huge trouble."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Rest a.s.sured, I know where things stand. He wouldn"t deal with me. It"s fine." Laura and the others knew that Zhao Hai said was right. However, they were still nervous upon seeing Zhao Hai talk with Ma Fenglei. This was because the old man"s reputation in the Machine Field was too well known.
Before this, Laura and the others didn"t know about Ma Fenglei. But when Margaret saw Zhao Hai speaking with the Fire Temple Bishop, her expression changed. Then she told Laura and the others about Ma Fenglei, which caused Laura and the others to be nervous as well.
Since the matter has been settled, the group relaxed and then went to the living room. After everyone had sat down, Zhao Hai turned to Margaret and said, "Actually, I was thinking about the Ashley Family during that time. The family needed several allies. I couldn"t stay in the Machine Field all the time, perhaps I might leave after the compet.i.tion. Margaret, will you follow me or stay here?"
Margaret shook her head and said, "It"s fine. I don"t have much connection to the family anyway. But this doesn"t mean that I will abandon the family. Brother Hai, if the Ashley Family were to meet any problems, we need to help them. Even if we can"t save everyone, we should still make sure that Camp Lord and the others are safe."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Rest a.s.sured, if anything happens, I will certainly offer my help."
………………
The day quickly went past. The next day, Zhao Hai decided to stay inside the s.p.a.ce. After all, he didn"t have any fights today, there was no need to go to the stadium.
Moreover, the two days didn"t have anything worth looking at. The level of those competing simply weren"t enough to gain Zhao Hai"s attention.
Zhao Hai thought that after what happened to Yellowsand Planet, the battles further on wouldn"t be too b.l.o.o.d.y. However, he didn"t expect the fights to be bloodier than before. Those who were eliminated had suffered injuries. There were even some people who were killed on the stage. Some were also cripplied and there was even an instance where both partic.i.p.ants mutually wounded themselves.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Hai couldn"t help but stare, then his expression turned difficult. When Margaret looked at Zhao Hai"s expression, she couldn"t help but ask, "Brother Hai? What"s wrong?"
Zhao Hai sighed and then said, "It seems like the people in the Machine Field really don"t regard Ascenders as proper equals. Have you ever thought of how many Ascenders would die after the qualifiers? There are nearly 100 thousand people in the beginning, and there are also those who were crippled. No wonder the Mages and Warriors of the Machine Field couldn"t compete against the Cultivators. You should know that those who are killed in the qualifiers are elites of their respective families. If they were trained well, then they might turn out to be powerful experts. They might even be able to fight against the Cultivators. But now, their lives ended in this compet.i.tion. In this case, how could Mages and Warriors get powerful? It seems like there are some people in the Machine Field that doesn"t want Ascenders to get powerful."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Laura and the others stared, then their expressions changed as well. Margaret couldn"t believe it, "Brother Hai, how is that possible?"
Zhao Hai coldly snorted and said, "Why would it be impossible? Think about it, which people have the most power over the Machine Field? Its the battles.h.i.+ps and the mechs. If Mages and Warriors get stronger, then their control over the Machine Field would be affected. Do you think those who control the battles.h.i.+ps and the mechs would accept having their benefits taken? In this case, it"s impossible for Mages and Warriors to rise up. And there"s also the way the Machine Field natives discriminate against Ascenders. It"s natural for them to suppress Mages and Warriors. However, since they couldn"t blatantly reveal the suppression, they needed to find a way to hide it. So isn"t this compet.i.tion a perfect way to hide it? This compet.i.tion gathered every single talented ascender in the realm. Even if some geniuses were left in the end, the other realms would take care of them. In the Six Realm Beginner Compet.i.tion, not only would Mages and Warriors get injured, only very few of them manage to survive. With so few numbers left, there would be no way for them to influence the Machine Field."
Laura and the others couldn’t help but unconsciously nod. They thought that what Zhao Hai said was reasonable. If what Zhao Hai said was true, then it would be too scary. This was basically the Machine Field getting rid of their capable subordinates.
Zhao Hai let out a long breath and then said, "Meanwhile, the Cultivation Realm has a different idea. Since Great Sects absorb ascenders, as long as one of them becomes powerful, the sect would gain a powerful expert. Because the Cultivation Realm talk using strength, they couldn"t suppress ascenders. For them Ascenders are another source for powerful experts. They wouldn"t threaten the benefits of ascenders. Conversely, they would cultivate ascenders so that they could provide more benefits to their sect. This allowed the Cultivation Realm to progress quickly. But in the Machine Field, Mages and Warriors were kept powerless. The potential of Magic Theory is truly wasted."
Chapter 1182 – Circulating Rumor
Laura and the others were earnestly listening. Zhao Hai looked at them and then said, "At this time, you should already have some understanding about Magic Theory. Magic Theory is very formidable and special. Once you reach a very high level, 10 thousand layer formations could allow you to fight battles.h.i.+ps. If you continue to get stronger, then there"s no reason for you to be any weaker than Cultivators. At high levels, Magic Theory might even win. As for mid and early stages, it"s possible to compete at an equal standing. But as you can see, Mages and Warriors are being suppressed. They have no way to fight back at all. Isn"t this wrong?"
Bang! Margaret pounded on the table. Then with clenched teeth, she said, "Shameless, those shameless people!"
Zhao Hai stared at Margaret, he didn"t expect here reaction to be this big. Zhao Hai looked at Margaret in confusion and then said, "Margaret, why are you so agitated? You"re a Machine Field native?"
Margaret breathed in twice to calm down, then she turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, my mother is also an Ascender. Moreover, I have worked in the Ascender Academy for many years. I saw the hope in the eyes of each Ascender as they venture out to the Machine Field. For them to suffer such a fate is very hateful. Those behind this matter are b.a.s.t.a.r.ds."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Alright, we can"t do anything about it for now. If we get an opportunity later, I"ll try to fix this matter. But now, I"m completely helpless."
Margaret smiled and said, "I don"t expect you to do anything now. I"m just angry. The Machine Field has been suppressed by the Cultivation Realm for many years because our low-middle level experts couldn"t compare to the Cultivators. But as it turns out, the Machine Field has been suppressing itself."
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, thinking about this right now is just useless. Instead, let"s prepare. The Six Realm Beginner Compet.i.tion would give us the opportunity to come in contact with the other five realms."
Margaret nodded. At this time, Laura said, "Brother Hai, do you think we would be recognized by Lu Wei because of this?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "So what if we get recognized? I"m no longer afraid of him. Lu Wei and the Yin Wind Ghost Emperor are no longer threats. What we need to worry about is the Myriad Treasure Pavillion. Compared to the two, the Pavillion is more dangerous. It"s fortunate that the pavillion doesn"t know what we look like. Until they find us, nothing should happen to us."
Laura and the others nodded. They agreed to Zhao Hai"s words. At this point, Lu Wei and the Yin Wind Ghost Emperor are no longer Zhao Hai"s enemies. What Zhao Hai needed to worry about right now was the Myriad Treasures Pavillion.
Time pa.s.sed by and soon the qualifiers were about to reach its final rounds. At this point, the original 100 thousand partic.i.p.ants had been whittled down to 1 thousand.
And this was also the time where the 20 seeded partic.i.p.ants would enter the compet.i.tion. 19 of these partic.i.p.ants had no issues to them whatsoever, the only exception was Zhao Hai.
There were people who suspected Zhao Hai"s strength. The core of this rumor was the fact that n.o.body saw Zhao Hai make a move. Although Xiong Li and Sun Fei were giving Zhao Hai"s praises, the matter with Zhao Hai, Xiong Li, Dongfang Yu, and Sun Fei drinking together nullified their recommendations. Because of this, people began to think that Xiong Li and Sun Fei were recommending Zhao Hai just because they were friends.
During the time when Xiong Li said his nomination, the voice of this rumor was very small. But this time, for some apparent reason, the voices were getting louder.
Naturally, Zhao Hai knew that the Machine Field Army was behind this. Even if it was Ma Fenglei who slapped their faces, the army couldn"t do anything about his due to the Fire Temple. However, they could move against Zhao Hai. In the eyes of the Machine Field Army, Zhao Hai was nothing more than an Ascender of the Ashley Family. Even if it were the Ashley Family"s core members, the Army would still dare to kill them. Therefore, what could the Ashley Family do?
These questions about Zhao Hai"s abilities were just the beginning. It seems like the Machine Field Army was not yet ready to give up. Upon thinking about this, Zhao Hai couldn"t help but sneer, he thought, "Alright, Machine Field Army, let"s play."
The battles between these top 1000 were still decided by electronic drawing of lots. The Machine Field prepared ten arenas for this event so that ten battles could happen at the same time. The Six Realm Beginner Compet.i.tion is fast approaching, there"s no need to waste time.
Of the first 20 people drawn, Zhao Hai and Xiong Li weren"t among them. On the other hand, Dongfang Yu and Sun Fei went on to fight their matches. Zhao Hai and Xiong Li didn"t bother looking at the fights, their opponents weren"t strong, there was nothing to see.
Zhao Hai sat beside Xiong Li in their a.s.signed seats. All those around them were looking in their direction, most of the looks were heading towards Zhao Hai. And these gazes were filled with suspicion.
Upon seeing these people, Xiong Li said, "These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. They actually suspect your strength. Little Hai, when your time comes, don"t hold back. Kill your enemy in one shot."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Don"t worry, I"ve already prepared a list. As long as I run into those in my list, I wouldn"t let them off."
Xiong Li asked, "List? What list?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "You"ll know when the time comes. Right, Brother Dongfang fights quickly. He should be back soon." When Zhao Hai told Xiong Li this, Dongfang appeared.
When Zhao Hai saw Dongfang Yu, he shouted, "Brother Dongfang, aren"t you too quick? Did you surrender?"
Dongfang Yu sneered and said, "Get lost. When will your dog mouth spout good words? When my enemy saw that he was against me, he immediately surrendered."
Zhao Hai laughed and said, "Alright. Come take a seat. Since you won, today"s your treat."
Dongfang Yu laughed and said, "Only you is this cheap to take advantage of this. Alright, let"s wait for Little Fei to return. Oh, he"s back. Little Fei, you"re quite fast."
Sun Fei smiled and said, "I"m just lucky to meet a level 3. That fellow is very lucky. He actually reached the top 1000 while being level 3."
As he said this, an announcement was heard, "Xiong Li, prepare for the next battle in Arena 5."
Zhao Hai turned his head to Xiong Li and said, "Brother Xiong, it"s your turn." Xiong Li laughed as he stood up and left. Seeing Xiong Li leaving, Donfang Yu turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Little Hai, how long do you think Big Brother Xiong would take?"
Zhao Hai and the others already knew about each other’s ages. Xiong Li was the oldest, followed by Dongfang Yu, then Zhao Hai, then Sun Fei. This is the reason why Dongfang Yu called Xiong Li "Big Brother".
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Rest a.s.sured, Big Brother Xiong wouldn’t take long. Brother Xiong is fierce when he goes to battle. As long as he is in battle, there"s no need to worry about him. It"s his enemy who needs to be afraid of being destroyed."
Sun Fei nodded, "Right, there"s no need to worry about him. On the other hand, we need to talk about Brother Hai. There are many bad rumors circulating around nowadays. I"m afraid people would try to deal with you. Be careful."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I"m actually hoping that people would disturb me. It just so happens that my Undead Army needed powerful experts. I"ll just use them to add to these numbers."
Sun Fei smiled faintly and said, "Right, how strong is your Undead Army? I"d like to see them one day."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Forget it, you don"t want to see them. Those who see my Undead army would become one of my Undead. Do you still want to see?"
Sun Fei smiled bitterly and then shook his head as he said, "Alright, just forget it. I haven"t lived long enough. Big Brother Xiong is back, it seems like his opponent surrendered as well."
Zhao Hai chuckled and said, "Right, if he fought somebody, he would look very happy. But look at him now, he looks dejected. He definitely haven"t fought someone."
Dongfang Yu laughed and said, "Big Brother Xiong, why the long face? Did you lose?"
Xiong Li stared, then he said, "Get lost. When did this grandfather lose? The coward surrendered the moment I began to power up. It was boring. I thought I could have a good exercise. But in the end, I wasted time."
As soon as they heard Xiong Li, Zhao Hai and the others laughed. At this time, another announcement was heard, "Zhao Hai, prepare to fight in Arena 3."
Zhao Hai stretched his body and then said, "Finally, it"s my turn. Let"s see who I"m up against. If it"s from the Machine Field Army, then that fellow is truly unfortunate." Then Zhao Hai stood up and then left.
Seeing Zhao Hai leave, Xiong Li looked at Dong Fangyu and said, "Dongfang, what were you talking about with Little Hai just now? Did the Machine Field Army offend him?"
Dongfang Yu"s eyes flashed lightly and said, "Big Brother Xiong, don"t you think that the recent rumors about Little Hai appeared too sudden? Back when you said your nomination, not a lot of people doubted Little Hai"s strength. But now of all times, these rumors became louder and louder. Isn"t it strange?"
When Xiong Li and Sun Fei heard this, they stared for a moment before they understood. Then they turned to Dongfang Yu and said, "Are you talking about the Machine Field Army?"
Dongfang Yu nodded, "Right, the Machine Field Army. Little Hai offended the Machine Field Army before. I heard that even if Ma Fenglei was the one who slapped the army"s face, the Army couldn"t do anything to him. Because of this, they could only deal with Little Hai. I reckon they are the one who spread these rumors. Moreover, this could only be their first step. They should have something else planned."
Xiong Li"s expression changed. Then he said, "Then isn"t this a problem? What do we do if they deal with Zhao Hai?"
Dongfang Yu shook his head and said, "Relax, if they want to take action, they wouldn"t be able to do it outside. Otherwise, the Machine Field would turn into chaos. They can only deal with Little Hai in the arena. However, those idiots in the Machine Field army underestimated Little Hai"s strength. Wanting to kill him on the area? Hahaha. Even if they sent in Streep, they still wouldn"t be able to do it."
Xiong Li"s expression loosened up, but he still coldly snorted and said, "If the Machine Field Army decided to do this, then as long as I meet anyone from the army, I will kill them immediately."
Dongfang Yu smiled faintly and said, "I"m afraid they wouldn"t give us that opportunity. Except the five seeded partic.i.p.ants from the army, all other partic.i.p.ants would just surrender immediately."
Xiong Li"s face turned ugly, then he sneered and said, "But we would still meet sooner or later. As long as the Six Realm Beginner Compet.i.tion ends, I can just go after them."
Dongfang Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Let"s think about how to survive the Six Realm Beginner Compet.i.tion first. This time, the other realms also had genius-level characters. We have no advantage over them at all. In this case, it would be difficult even for us to survive."
Xiong Li coldly snorted and said, "Hmph. At worst, I can just go all out and kill as many people as possible before I die."
At this time, somebody shouted, "Zhao Hai is fighting someone. Everyone, let"s go take a look." Then after that, a surge of people began going towards Zhao Hai"s arena.
Upon seeing this, Xiong Li couldn"t help but stare. Then the three of them shook their heads as they bitterly smiled. Xiong Li muttered, "Which idiot believes such rumors? If it"s possible, let"s figure out which people spread it. Alright, let"s take a look at Little Hai"s opponent. If it"s from the Machine Field Army, then Dongfang might be able to save himself from treating everyone to a meal."
Dongfang Yu laughed and said, "Alright, although I really don"t care about saving money, I"d like to be treated by Little Hai." Then the three laughed before walking towards Arena 3.
Upon arriving at Arena 3, the three stared. This was because there was a sea of people present. Compared to their own matches, Zhao Hai"s had much more attention.
The three looked at the stage and saw two people on it. One of them was Zhao Hai while the other was a Warrior. The Warrior was very tall at about two meters high. His skin was completely covered with iron. He also had a bald head. His weapon was quite special as well. On one hand, he has a huge tower s.h.i.+eld while the other hand held a thick broadsword!
Upon seeing this, Xiong Li couldn"t help but gawk. Then he forced a smile as he said, "d.a.m.n, it"s really someone from the Machine Field Army. Isn"t that the famous Iron Tower? He"s very famous for being hard to deal with. He almost got into the 20 seeded partic.i.p.ants. But because of mine and Sun Fei"s recommendation, the spot went to Little Hai. I didn"t expect Zhao Hai"s first opponent to be him. Isn"t this too suspicious?"
Dongfang Yu frowned and said, "Suspicious, it is very suspicious. Is it possible that this is arranged by the Machine Field Army? Who would have thought that Zhao Hai"s first opponent to be someone who is qualified to be on the top 20?"
