Looking at the dejected, spiritless Shen Ya and the devastation around them, they understood that the outcome here had already been decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was shocking was that this strongest Golden Brilliance team, while at full strength, had actually been wiped out by Li Luo and Bai Mengmeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How fierce that was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Fu and the others looked at Li Luo with eyes full of admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo smiled at them and said, \"It seems you solved things on your end as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Kuo looked ashamed and said, \"Brother Luo, I'm sorry. This was my fault; I almost caused you to fall into a trap as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Luo hadn't arranged a contingency plan this time, Xu Ge's betrayal would have been enough to capsize them, and might even have implicated Li Luo's team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo waved his hand with a smile and said, \"Why talk about that? If you hadn't notified me about this, I might have been backstabbed by them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn't known about the Viceroy team's malice beforehand, he might not have made these preparations. Then, they would have faced the combined forces of the Viceroy team and the Heavenly Blade team. Although Li Luo didn't think the other side could truly take them down, it would inevitably have caught them off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo didn't like that feeling of being caught off guard; he preferred to know in advance and make all the necessary preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Li Luo was talking to Zhao Kuo, the tree shadows behind them rippled, and more figures emerged. Leading them was that Ye Hua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stone Kid.\" Li Luo waved his hand at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hua's face darkened, and he said angrily, \"Don't call me Stone Kid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks for this time, Stone Kid,\" Li Luo said with a bright smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had previously crossed paths with Ye Hua, and after Li Luo not only let their team go but also gave them points, his only request at the time was for Ye Hua to watch for his signal at any time and find a few Golden Brilliance teams to come as backup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, he was mostly just taking precautions. After all, he couldn't have guessed that the Xu Ge team would be arranged by the other side. He simply felt that the news of the other side wanting to deal with him was spreading too easily and had been learned by Zhao Kuo and the others, so there might be some other preparations in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If judged by the results, Li Luo's response this time could be called perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the incorrigible Li Luo, Ye Hua was also a bit speechless and could only wave his hand powerlessly: \"I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you. Since things are done here, I think you should settle the bill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed to the four Golden Brilliance teams behind him; they were the ones who had previously intercepted the three teams the Viceroy team had ambushed here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already received my reward, but I promised them that as long as they came to show their faces, each team would get one Golden Badge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the corner of Li Luo's mouth couldn't help but twitch. You really are a Stone Kid; I asked you to find helpers, but your asking price is a bit ruthless, isn't it? One Golden Badge per team—for these four teams, that's four badges, which is four hundred points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This price could not be called anything but exorbitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, don't tell me you're not going to pay up...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hua glared at Li Luo: \"Even though this price is a bit expensive, there's no help for it. The other teams heard they had to deal with the Viceroy team and didn't dare to intervene. After all, they are the number one ranked Golden Brilliance team, no matter what.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo shook his head helplessly and took four Golden Badges out of his pocket to toss over. Although his heart ached, he really couldn't bring himself to renege on the debt; after all, they had come to help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hua took the badges and distributed them to the four teams, saying at the same time, \"Hurry up and leave, be careful he feels resentful and loots all of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Golden Brilliance teams were all satisfied and smiled at Li Luo: \"Brother Luo, if there's such a good thing next time, remember to keep looking for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they left with their arms around each other's shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo watched their departing figures and sighed with some sorrow; after struggling for so long, he had almost ended up working for others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four hundred points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I'm leaving too,\" Ye Hua waved his hand. He felt that the way Li Luo was looking at him was a bit off; this guy wouldn't be crazy enough to want to rob him, would he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he quickly turned and slipped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo looked at his back and laughed in spite of himself, then said, \"Thanks. If you have anything in the future, you can come find me. But remember, I charge fees too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't afford it, can't afford it,\" Ye Hua replied from afar and left quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Ye Hua and the others leave, Li Luo turned around, looked at Shen Ya with an expressionless face, reached out to rip the Golden Badge from his chest, and then emptied all the Golden Badges from his pockets, taking one-fifth as spoils of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But calculating it this way, he only got a little over three hundred points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, still at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo felt a bit frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Luo, we harvested the Heavenly Blade team and Xu Ge and his group, getting over four hundred points in total. Let us subsidize you a bit,\" Zhao Kuo said, feeling a bit bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo rolled his eyes at him and didn't take him up on it at all. The strength of Zhao Kuo's team could only be considered mid-tier among the Golden Brilliance teams; the difficulty for them to obtain points was very high, and these points were likely the limit of what they could achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he possibly let Zhao Kuo pay out points?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the points we have here aren't enough for you to pay out,\" Shen Ya, seeing this, couldn't help but laugh, feeling that he had finally let out a breath of frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo said unhurriedly, \"That's not how the math works. The reason for dealing with you was just so there wouldn't be any eyesore little mice when dealing with Wang Hejiu and the others later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as the Golden Gate team is solved, are you afraid there won't be enough points?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Ya sneered and said, \"Wanting to deal with the Golden Gate team—who ends up eating whom is really not certain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Luo, I'll be waiting for your 'good news'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo stretched and nodded, saying, \"Whoever wins or loses has nothing to do with you anymore. This ranking battle should end here for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Ya's face was as dark as water; he was likely feeling quite unhappy inside. After all, with their team's strength, if they hadn't run into Li Luo and the others, they would clearly have gone further and obtained more points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo looked up at the sun gradually setting in the west. When the sun completely set, that would be the end of this month's exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xin Fu and Bai Mengmeng also appeared behind Li Luo at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the two of them and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The small fry have finally been cleared away...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think it's time to start eating the main course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One update today.\u003C\u002Fp>",1381,"2026-06-20T03:27:18.369Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b17ab35b523a7c9180b54857f7c6f25eb716ea7963566fe65ed3af1fa2f0ad29","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-176","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-174",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
