EBE Chapter 179 The Day of the Competition
Chapter 179 The Day of the Competition
After some discussion, they returned to the Zhou family villa and waited for the family competition to begin.
After returning to the villa, Li Fan felt a little uneasy, so he let out the rabbit-tailed squirrel and the little wolf to tease them.
He has always been curious about why the rabbit-tailed squirrel has such a strong understanding of battle tactics.
Is it talent? Or is it hard work?
So he expressed his doubts.
The rabbit-tailed squirrel said softly, "It's a talent. It's extremely rare among the demon race. So, I'm the group's favorite."
Li Fan finally understood that the mysterious woman had to kill the Zhang family's grandson to feel satisfied.
It turns out that the rabbit-tailed squirrel is a formation genius that appears once in a hundred years among the demon clan.
Since that was the case, he immediately came up with an idea and came to Wuming with the rabbit-tailed squirrel in his arms. "Brother Wuming, let's discuss the formation together."
Wuming was very smart and had already witnessed the extraordinary talent of the rabbit-tailed squirrel. Without any hesitation, he ran to the side with the rabbit-tailed squirrel in his arms and took out the formation experience he had obtained from Wang Yu.
So the two of them began to study it in full swing.
Li Fan was bored and wanted to see what Zhou Zhiyue was doing.
But unexpectedly, as soon as this guy came back, he locked himself in the house and started practicing in seclusion.
He had no choice but to turn around and go to the lakeside courtyard.
But he saw Li Mingzhao pacing back and forth by the lake, seemingly thinking about something.
There was also a hint of anxiety on his face.
He walked over, patted the other person on the shoulder, and asked, "Brother Mingzhao, what are you thinking about?"
Li Mingzhao stopped, frowning, and said, "You said the Demon Realm Celestial Clan is so powerful, so why did they wait ten thousand years before taking action? What are they afraid of?"
Li Fan was reminded of this and suddenly realized something. He scratched his head and said, "Yes, logically speaking, they should have completely occupied this continent long ago. Why did they have to use evil energy and other tricks to force their way in? Wouldn't it be better to just push it over directly? There must be something fishy going on."
Li Mingzhao looked thoughtful and guessed, "There must be something we don't know that prevented them from taking immediate action."
Li Fan nodded with a serious look on his face.
"That's the only explanation. Anyway, let's deal with Dabi first."
Just then, Zhou Zhiyue walked out of the room and came to the lake.
His face was full of energy, as if he had won the jackpot.
Li Fan and the other man hurried over and asked in unison, "Brother Zhou, why are you so happy?"
Zhou Zhiyue raised his fist and said proudly, "I feel like I've made some breakthroughs."
After hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little happy.
After returning from Wushuang City this time, Zhou Zhiyue not only recovered from the aftereffects of the seal, but also learned a magic spell from his uncle, the Dragon Elephant Technique.
He has been studying it hard for a while now, and has finally gotten the hang of it.
Calculated this way, the chances of winning the competition have increased.
After all, in a martial arts competition, actual combat ability is more important.
Three days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day of the competition.
So Zhou Zhiyue got up early.
As soon as the sky in the east began to turn pale, he took Li Fan and others to the back mountain of the family.
This was once the place where the Zhou family's ancestor practiced meditation. It is surrounded by towering ancient trees and lush greenery, and is very quiet and peaceful.
The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, like a dream.
The spiritual energy here is very rich. If you take a deep breath, it will go straight into your lungs through your nasal cavity, making you feel relaxed and happy.
The back mountain was extremely lively at this time, and the Zhou family's geniuses arrived one after another.
I saw a young man in red clothes, standing on a flying sword, crossing the sky like a meteor and landing steadily on the ground.
His eyes were bright and fiery, burning with endless fighting spirit.
This person's name is Zhou Tianfang, one of the few sword practitioners in the Zhou family.
Not far away, a young girl in white came gracefully.
Her figure is light and her skirt flutters in the wind, like a blooming lotus.
The people around couldn't help but look at him with admiration, their eyes wide open.
Although she does not have the stunning beauty of Ji Moxue and the other two girls, she also has her own unique charm.
She is the apple of the Zhou family's eye, Zhou Yuruo.
Then, a burly young man came walking towards them with big strides, and his heroic aura attracted people's attention.
His muscles were tense and veins bulged, like a lump of iron.
Holding an axe, he looks quite rough.
He is none other than Zhou Tianfang’s brother, Zhou Tianhao.
They have the same father but different mothers, so they look very different.
These three people are considered to be the second-tier competitors.
At this moment, the crowd caused a sensation.
Li Fan looked up and suddenly saw three familiar faces.
Zhou Qi and his two foreign aid assistants Zhang Zhen and Liu Fuya.
Zhou Qi was seen with his hands folded in front of his chest, his head held high, his eyes arrogant, and he didn't take anyone seriously.
It was as if the competition was already in his pocket, with a smug smile on his face.
Zhang Chengzhen followed behind him, a fawning smile on his face, nodding and bowing like a pug, saying, "Second Young Master, you will definitely win first place this time. The others are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of you, and they won't stand a chance!"
Liu Fuya, on the other hand, was filled with disdain. He squinted his eyes at the people around him and snorted, "A bunch of rabble, you dare to compete with the Second Young Master? You're simply overestimating your own abilities!"
In his eyes, everyone is a worthless ant.
Except for the Zhou Tianfang brothers and the little fairy Zhou Yuruo, the other geniuses of the family saw the three of them and hurried over, smiling and flattering them.
"Second Young Master, you are truly wise and powerful, unparalleled in the world!"
"Second Young Master, you will definitely shine this time and surpass all the others!"
However, Zhou Qi didn't treat these people well and said impatiently, "Get out of here! Stop being an eyesore!"
It feels like the whole world owes him money.
The others could only smile awkwardly and step aside.
At this time, Zhou Qi saw Zhou Zhiyue and others, and quickly left the crowd behind and walked over with a swagger.
With a disdainful tone, he said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this Big Brother? You dare to come to the competition with a bunch of idiots? Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughing stock?"
Zhang Chengzhen followed suit, jokingly saying, "That's right, you don't even consider your own worth."
Liu Fuya laughed even more exaggeratedly: "Haha, I think they are just here to make up the numbers."
The three of them spoke very loudly, like thunder, as if they wanted the entire back mountain to hear them.
The people around him also laughed after hearing this.
Zhou Zhiyue's face darkened, he glared angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Qi, don't be so arrogant!"
Li Fan also said bluntly: "Humph, who will win or lose is still uncertain!"
As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Qi without fear.
Wuming said coldly: "Don't be too proud too soon, be careful of excessive joy and sorrow."
Li Mingzhao crossed his arms, a look of disdain on his face, and sneered, "How dare you speak so arrogantly? Aren't you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue away?"
Zhou Qi crossed his arms, sneered, and said, "Humph, you guys think you can fight me? Big brother, you're a good-for-nothing, you were and are!"
Zhang Chengzhen pointed at Li Fan and the others and shouted, "How dare you, you ignorant bastards, speak so shamelessly in front of the Second Young Master!"
Liu Fuya's face was grim as he said viciously, "When the competition starts, I'm going to make you cry for your parents!"
Zhou Zhiyue shouted angrily, "Zhou Qi, stop being so arrogant! We'll see what happens in the competition!"
Li Fan snorted coldly, glared at Zhou Qi and said, "Anyone can talk big, but let's see what we can do!"
Zhou Qi curled his lips in disdain: "Humph, you ignorant fellows, just wait and see!"
However, at this moment, a sudden voice came from not far away.
"Yo, the competition hasn't even started yet and they're already starting to argue. Interesting."
