Chapter 206: Crow's Mouth? No, That Is Yanchu Fashui!

~11 min read 2,033 words

"As for the contestants who did not enter the top one hundred, please return to your rooms to pack your things, and please leave here as soon as possible."

Ye Lin added one final sentence.

Nighttime.

Only the circular mask and the triangular mask met in private; after two rounds of elimination, they were the only ones left in their small group.

"What about Square?"

The two asked in unison.

"It seems he was eliminated."

Neither of them wanted to reveal their identities; both wore black robes and masks, not even exposing their ankles.

They were deeply afraid that others might recognize them by their ankles.

"There's no other way."

"Ye Bai has emerged abruptly; he is too monstrous."

"The score gap between first and second place is too wide."

"If we don't do something in the third round, we will certainly find it difficult to win the championship of the Young Kylin Cup."

"So, we must join forces in the third round to snipe Ye Bai; we cannot give Ye Bai a chance to get ahead."

The person with the circular mask proposed to the other.

The top three of the Young Kylin Cup are qualified to represent the Yan Kingdom Alliance to participate in the Global Youth Breeder Competition.

This is a competition with significant weight.

If one achieves a good ranking, one might receive support from the resources of the Yan Country, and even the families behind them could gain quite a few benefits.

Therefore, many families are staring fixedly at the top three of the Young Kylin Cup; if they can squeeze one person out, they will.

Especially those who excel in the competition, as they might become stumbling blocks on their path to success.

"Agreed, we need to pull others in to act together."

"After all, it is not just us who are dissatisfied with Ye Bai."

"Right now, more than half of the contestants are expressing dissatisfaction with Ye Bai."

"He is too sharp and stands out too much; he is too excellent, which makes us look mediocre."

"By the way, I have a list here regarding the top one hundred of the Yan Country Phoenix Chick Cup; should we discuss it to see who we can cooperate with?"

At this moment, Ye Bai was already on his bed; he summoned the Space Pelican.

"Space Pelican, bring out that strange mirror."

"Let me see if this is one of the fragments of that mirror."

The Space Pelican spat out the golden, shining mirror from its mouth.

The four mirror fragments originally held in Ye Bai's palm turned into a stream of silver light and flowed directly into the mirror.

The mirror fragments melted like water and merged into the mirror.

Before long, the mirror was already half repaired, emitting a bright, cold gleam.

In fact, Ye Bai had already vaguely guessed the name of this mirror.

He still needed to verify it to know if his thoughts were correct.

Dang, dang, dang.

The midnight bell rang, and many who had already fallen asleep were kept awake by the sound.

【1. The strongest person in the 62nd Phoenix Chick Cup is Yun Luo, who is ranked one hundredth. Her talent is the rule-type talent Yanchu Fashui. Because her talent is too powerful, her body cannot withstand it; she gets out of breath just walking a few steps. She has only developed the basic function of Yanchu Fashui—the 'crow's mouth' (jinxing). Only food therapy can help Yun Luo.】

【2. The shell of a Destiny Turtle can resist the misfortune from the 'crow's mouth' talent. In fact, the best way to crack the 'crow's mouth' talent is to not let the 'crow's mouth' speak; when the 'crow's mouth' is about to say something bad, hurry to cover her mouth.】

【3. The most lacking resource in the Secret Realm is water, especially clean water; please bring enough water.】

【4. The divine bird Bi Fang fell in that Secret Realm. Its crystal core possesses terrifying energy, specifically located somewhere in Lieyan Gu. Moreover, near that place, one can hear the cries of Bi Fang; those are the lingering thoughts left behind by Bi Fang. There is a certain probability of obtaining the Soul of Bi Fang and comprehending the origin of the fire element.】

【5. Many Exotic Beasts fell beneath the Secret Realm, and a natural Blood Pool formed underground. It possesses the effect of shedding one's mortal body and exchanging one's bones, and it can also upgrade a sixth-tier Blood Pool to the seventh tier.】

"Yun Luo?"

"Interesting!"

"The talent of Yanchu Fashui is a Super S-Tier talent; has this not been discovered by the people of the Yan Country?"

Ye Bai thought for a moment; he dug up detailed information about Yun Luo through the Dark Web.

Before her opponents fought her, various accidents would occur, and as a result, she managed to lie her way to one hundredth place.

This is absurd! At this time, Ye Bai remembered another thing: Dahui and the Space Pelican had not signed a contract with him.

According to the rules of the competition, he would be unable to bring them into the Secret Realm like this; he had to think of a way.

After reading the freshly released intelligence, Ye Bai lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

Over these three days, he had basically been performing surgeries and reviewing various test reports as soon as he opened his eyes. Ye Bai was exhausted, his mental energy was over-consumed, and his brain still had a faint, stinging pain.

He just wanted to slack off now and didn't want to move a single finger.

Unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to rest for long before being treated like a beast of burden to participate in the final assessment.

"It seems this time, I need to go find Yun Luo to cooperate; this happens to allow me to keep a low profile."

"Pet Beast Masters and Breeders have a complementary relationship, and this joint competition further highlights this point."

However, this competition is primarily fought by the contestants of the Phoenix Chick Cup, with the contestants of the Young Kylin Cup acting as support.

Therefore, if the Pet Beast Master's strength is not strong, even if they encounter an amazing Breeder, they cannot help their Pet Beast advance or evolve in a short time.

Once Ye Bai chooses Yun Luo, in everyone's eyes, he will not pose much of a threat.

After all, the scores of the first and second rounds of the Young Kylin Cup each account for twenty percent, while the results of the third round account for the majority. If he chooses to assist a contestant in the top ten of the Phoenix Chick Cup, it will definitely force everyone to unite against him.

At that time, his situation would likely be quite difficult.

The next day, the sun was bright.

Warm sunlight fell from the sky, landing in the central hall of Fengchao.

There is a skylight above Fengchao; once a sudden rainstorm is encountered, the skylight will slowly close to block the rainwater.

One hundred contestants of the Fengchu Cup, plus one hundred contestants of the Young Qilin Cup, have already taken their respective places.

Information regarding these two hundred contestants has already been sent to each contestant.

"Now, we invite the first-place contestant of the second round of the 62nd competition, Ye Bai, to choose your partner."

Ye Bai walked straight out from the ranks; he could feel everyone's gaze falling upon him.

He walked leisurely to the last row, to that young girl wearing a blue Daoist robe.

The Daoist robe was cut simply yet remained solemn, its wide sleeves swaying gently with the wind like swirling clouds and mist, adding a touch of an immortal air.

The girl's hair was coiled high and secured with a simple peachwood hairpin, with a few stray strands falling inadvertently by her cheeks, adding a touch of softness and liveliness to her.

A horsetail whisk rested in her hands, which were as white as jade.

Her eyes were like the deep night sky, her complexion somewhat pale; at this moment, she was looking at the marble floor in utter boredom.

She was counting how many ants were on the ground.

The sun was lovely today, warm, and the gentle spring breeze also made her feel sleepy.

As a mere third-rank small fry, it was through all sorts of coincidences that she had managed to scrape into the 100th place of the Fengchu Cup.

What a pity; she had only just eaten delicious meals for a few days, and now she had to go explore deep mountains and old forests again.

How about finding someone like-minded, hiding in the Secret Realm for a few days, and then withdrawing from the competition?

Yun Luo was lost in thought, with all sorts of bizarre ideas popping into her mind.

Just then, she felt a series of footsteps coming from afar; the footsteps grew closer and closer, finally stopping beside her.

Yun Luo raised her head with a dazed expression.

She blinked her eyes, looking at Ye Bai, who wore a smile on his face.

"May I invite you to be my partner?"

Ye Bai asked Yun Luo politely.

Yun Luo took a step back, putting some distance between herself and Ye Bai.

She looked around and discovered that there was no one left around her.

Everyone's gaze was focused on her, and she felt extremely nervous at this moment.

Beads of sweat the size of peas rolled down from her forehead.

"Ah?"

Yun Luo was stunned for a moment, and she pointed at herself with her finger: "Me?"

Ye Bai smiled: "Is there anyone else here?"

"May I have the honor of being your partner?"

Upon hearing this, the young girl Yun Luo revealed a troubled expression: "But people who get close to me always end up very unlucky."

Ye Bai shook his head: "I don't mind."

Yun Luo continued to decline: "My strength is very weak; I was only able to enter the top 100 because my opponents withdrew for various reasons, which pushed me into the 100th place."

Ye Bai smiled: "It doesn't matter."

Yun Luo racked her brains and came up with another excuse: "I eat a lot; I have to eat this much food at every meal."

She raised her hand and gestured a big circle in the air, trying to make Ye Bai give up on choosing her.

Big brother, I just came to mooch off the food and drink, and accidentally entered the top 100 of the Fengchu Cup.

Please let me go; I am just a third-rank small fry.

I was even planning to pick someone who is also a slacker, stay in the Secret Realm for two days, and then forfeit.

Yun Luo's inner self let out a sharp shriek; she couldn't understand why Ye Bai would take a fancy to a small fry like her?

Could it be that he took a fancy to her beauty? Yun Luo began to let her imagination run wild.

Ye Bai smiled without a word, his black and white eyes looking at Yun Luo.

Yun Luo was looked at by Ye Bai's gaze until she lowered her head; her hands twisted together, reflecting Yun Luo's inner anxiety.

Damn it, I've given so many reasons, and you're still obsessed, aren't you?

Fine, very good, very, very good.

I will let you witness the power of me, the 88th generation direct disciple of the Qingcheng Mountain Sect Leader, who possesses the Crow's Mouth talent.

I will make you cry and beg to flee from my side!

In the end, Yun Luo steeled her heart, nodded, and agreed to Ye Bai to become his partner.

"President Ye, I have already chosen my partner."

Ye Bai signaled to Ye Lin.

Although Ye Lin did not know why Ye Bai chose Yun Luo, she felt that Yun Luo must have some unique qualities.

However, when Ye Lin saw Yun Luo's resume, the corners of her mouth twitched.

Begging for votes, begging for votes, the four-chapter cycle is extended to Saturday (End of this chapter)
