Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Brother-in-law is Really Nice_1

"Group nine, Li Muyun wins."

Huh?

Everyone, including the always serene, mature, steady, and wise Wu Qiyi, was stunned.

Because, you had only been on stage for a few seconds!

This person had just gone up and then brazenly came down.

As for that Zharang, no one present knew what he looked like; those who had occasionally seen him could only mention his gender.

People are always stingy with their attention to the losers.

Seeing you come down from the ring, Su Liyan quickly walked up to you, grabbed your hand, and shook it excitedly.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, tell us how you knocked that guy out so quickly."

You smiled and said, "It should be called luck, I guess."

"Luck?"

Su Liyan blinked her bright, round eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering irresistibly.

"Yes, that Zharang fellow is from Southeast Siam, he’s a wizard, and apparently one who specializes in manipulating other people’s souls. He went up before me and, upon entering the stage, turned the whole ring into a Soul-Trapping Array. As soon as my foot touched the stage, he activated the Soul-Trapping Array."

Su Liyan asked anxiously, with a look of concern, "Then what?"

"That Soul-Trapping Array was full of loopholes, although it did have a good effect. It’s just a pity he faced me. I’ve been studying Talisman Formations and Arrays since I was young. Even though there was a long period later when I didn’t delve into them, the knowledge is still there. Moreover, our family has a secret book that compiles explanations of all the Arrays in the world. The Soul-Trapping Array had a flaw, which I exploited by glaring at him; the Array reversed, and Zharang’s own soul ended up trapped."

"Oh, I see." Su Liyan’s interest was undiminished, and she continued shaking your hand, "Brother-in-law, where is Zharang’s soul now?"

You looked at Su Liyan, knowing she was unpredictable in her actions, and retorted, "What do you want with that information?"

Not avoiding the question, Su Liyan cheerfully replied, "My purpose is very simple. I’ve been very interested in the Puppet Gu recently, but Grandma refuses to teach me, saying it harms the harmony of heaven. After my own research for a while, I already have some clues; now I just lack someone’s soul."

You shrugged your shoulders and said with a smile, "Sorry, I can’t answer that question either because I don’t know where that Zharang guy placed the trapped souls."

Su Liyan seemed to catch an additional meaning in your words, clapped her hands with a laugh, and said something that puzzled you, "Brother-in-law is the best!"

Then, she ran off with Su Zhenghe.

You scratched your head and asked Wu Qiyi, who was standing beside you, "Did I just say something?"

Wu Qiyi mimicked your gesture, shrugging her shoulders.

Then, you turned your head slightly, whispering into Wu Qiyi’s ear, "That old lady with a face full of wrinkles and a ’period-troubled’ expression sitting by the ring... that’s Old Lady from the Cen family, right?"

Your use of "period-troubled" made Wu Qiyi involuntarily purse her lips in a coy smile; such a reaction from her was a bit out of character compared to her usual demeanor.

However, in front of you, she didn’t care about these things and instead followed your lead, saying, "The middle-aged man sitting next to Old Lady Cen is a Chief of the Scenic Sect Inner Sect, responsible for new Inner Sect Disciples; there’s also a Chief from the Open Gate Inner Sect."

"The Chief of Open Gate? What’s he doing here?"

"Here for the spectacle," laughed Wu Qiyi, "The Chu Sect isn’t monolithic inside, among them, the Scenic Sect and Open Gate have always been at odds."

"Ah, I see."

You nodded.

This time, the tournament had attracted sixteen pairs, thirty-two people in total.

After one round of competition, only sixteen remained.

Watching from the edge of the arena from the beginning, you realized that at least half of these thirty-two came just to make up the numbers or, as it is said, to be soy sauce players.

This puzzled you, so when you raised the question, Xi Yu standing next to Zhao’er answered, "It mainly comes from a kind of inexplicable vanity."

"Vanity?"

"Yes."

Xi Yu looked at Old Lady Cen with a hint of disdain even though the old lady was looking right at you two, catching Xi Yu’s expression. Yet, Xi Yu did it anyway.

Moreover, she seemed to have no intention of stopping and continued, "Everyone knows that the Cen Family has a habit that draws public criticism: vanity, extreme vanity. No matter what they do, they like to make a big display, to have grand scenes and large numbers of people."

You smiled: "Many aristocratic families behave this way."

Soon, the second round of the competition began, and your opponent was a dark-skinned middle-aged man.

As soon as he entered the arena, he tore off his upper clothing, revealing densely packed talisman inscriptions on his bronze skin, inscriptions that were unfamiliar to you. Taken individually, they weren’t much, but combined, they formed an incredibly strong Array!

At the sight of these talismans, you decisively retreated several steps and closed your eyes.

Because the instant you saw them, you felt an intense sensation that your soul was being pulled out!

It was clear that Old Lady Cen had brought this middle-aged man specifically to deal with you.

Old Lady Cen really understood you well; she knew the Sen Luo Eye was your Achilles’ heel. Once it was sealed, you would be like a warrior without a limb, and it would be much easier to deal with you from there on!

However, Old Lady Cen seemed to have overestimated the power of the talisman inscriptions on the middle-aged man’s body; indeed, everyone in the arena except for the three judges from the Cen Family, Zhao’er and Wu Qiyi, closed their eyes.

This move was an indiscriminate attack, primarily targeting the eyes.

But what Old Lady Cen didn’t know was that the Sen Luo Eye was not as simple as it appeared on the surface!

Your vision suddenly detached from your body and looked down from a dozen meters above, thereby avoiding the influence of those characters and Magic Seals.

As you retreated those three steps, the middle-aged man rushed at you with a vicious smile!

Originally, you thought he was preparing to use some powerful killing move, but to your complete surprise, he actually pulled out a small foldable knife from his pocket and viciously stabbed towards your heart!

At this moment, Old Lady Cen’s face revealed a hint of surprise too, as she clearly did not expect the middle-aged man to possess such meager strength.

One must know, each of them was brought in from the South Ocean by Liu Bai’s mother at great expense, each worth a cruise ship!

Yet, the strength they displayed was hardly up to standard.

However, in Old Lady Cen’s eyes, whether they were up to standard no longer mattered. As long as they could kill you, that was enough.

Even if it was a violation, as long as you died, everything would be worth it even though she might be criticized and cursed by outsiders afterward.

At this moment, however, the corner of your mouth curved up in a smile.
