Chapter 320: Who brought water?

On the mountaintop, the Third Prince, the Seventh Princess, and the others also had their expressions change in shock!

"What is this guy doing? Is he still playing it cool at a time like this?" one prince said, his eyes widening.

"Seventh Imperial Sister, what does he want to do?" the Third Prince asked, turning his gaze toward the Seventh Princess.

The Seventh Princess was also at a loss; she couldn't understand Xu Que's intentions at all.

The competition was about to start. If he didn't enter his Divine Steed to prepare in advance, he certainly wouldn't have enough time to master it properly later!

Just as everyone was filled with astonishment and doubt, an old eunuch who was presiding over the first trial finally stood up, looked at Xu Que, and said, "Young man, what is the meaning of this? Is there a problem with your Divine Steed, or do you wish to forfeit?"

"Neither!"

Xu Que shook his head, stroked his chin, and said, "I just wanted to ask, did any of you bring tofu? If there isn't any, a cup of water will do!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately filled with confusion!

Tofu?

Water?

What is going on? At a time like this, you're still thinking about eating?

The old eunuch presiding over the competition was also stunned.

He had presided over the Imperial Tomb trials for so many years and had never encountered such a request. With the competition imminent, he was actually asking for food and drink?

What kind of person is this?

Having no other choice, the old eunuch had to cast his gaze toward the Golden Emperor sitting on the dragon throne, preparing to ask for instructions.

The Golden Emperor, however, nodded slightly, signaling that the old eunuch could satisfy Xu Que's request. At the same time, the Golden Emperor's gaze landed on Xu Que once again!

In the Divine Steed not far away, the Empress was also staring at Xu Que, the playfulness in her eyes growing even more intense!

……

"Young man, take this cup of water and drink it!"

The old eunuch ultimately satisfied Xu Que's request and specifically had someone bring over a cup of water.

Everyone in the arena looked at Xu Que, their faces full of disdain; they were very ashamed of such behavior!

After all, as a cultivator, and one at the Nascent Soul Stage at that, he had long since achieved Inedia and could live without eating or drinking. Yet, at a time like this, he was asking for a cup of water—what kind of tricks was he trying to play?

However, Xu Que took the water cup, smiled faintly, and shook his head, saying, "I didn't ask for this cup of water to drink!"

Eh? Not to drink?

Then what is it for?

Everyone present was stunned, filled with doubt!

The old eunuch was also somewhat surprised and asked in astonishment, "Then what use do you have for it?"

Xu Que raised the corners of his mouth, smiled without saying a word, took the cup, sat inside the car, placed the cup to the side, and then with a "bang," closed the car door!

Afterward, he rolled down the car window and said to the old eunuch, "Actually, I just feel that this competition is too simple and very boring! So I've decided that I must increase the difficulty. You all watch closely: this cup of water will be placed here. If even a drop spills later, it will count as my loss!"

Xu Que patted his chest, his tone incomparably domineering.

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded!

The competition is too simple?

Boring?

If water spills, it counts as your loss?

Damn, is this guy crazy?

How could he be so arrogant in front of so many Divine Steed experts?

Or is it that he already knows he's going to lose, so he's deliberately giving himself an out?

Many people were completely confused, unable to grasp the situation!

The Third Prince, the Seventh Princess, and the others were also frightened. What was the difference between Xu Que making such a bet and surrendering?

"What exactly does this guy want to do?" one prince asked angrily, unable to help clenching his fists.

"This is equivalent to making Third Imperial Brother lose before the race even begins! Could it be that he has already been bought off by others to deliberately betray Third Imperial Brother?"

"That won't happen. Young Master Xu is not that kind of person!"

The Seventh Princess said firmly; she believed she wouldn't misjudge a person!

However, she was also quite puzzled by Xu Que making such an unnecessary request; it was truly too difficult to fathom!

The Golden Emperor at the foot of the mountain also widened his eyes slightly at this moment, looking at Xu Que with great surprise.

In the Divine Steed not far away, the Empress was also slightly stunned!

No one could guess Xu Que's intentions, because no matter how hard they racked their brains, it was absolutely impossible for them to imagine that Xu Que was doing this purely to act cool!

Placing a cup of water in the car and not letting it spill?

What kind of joke is that? Although the driving skills Xu Que exchanged for were awesome, it was impossible to reach such a god-like level. Did he really think he was acting in an animation?

But this guy had already discussed it with the system, activating the automatic trusteeship function and splitting off a portion of his own divine soul to keep the water cup motionless!

Every hour, it only cost one point of Acting Cool Points!

Once successful, he would reap a huge amount of Acting Cool Points. This was a perfect opportunity to get rich quick; Xu Que couldn't possibly miss it!

"Are you sure you want to increase the difficulty yourself?"

At this moment, the Golden Emperor, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

His deep, calm, yet majestic voice instantly resounded in all directions.

Everyone in the arena was instantly shocked. The Golden Emperor actually took the initiative to ask this kid a question?

What a great honor this must be for him!

But Xu Que was neither humble nor arrogant, responding with a faint smile, "That's right. I am a man of my word. As long as a single drop of water spills, it will immediately count as my loss!"

"Very well, I grant it!" the Golden Emperor nodded directly.

The Third Prince, the Seventh Princess, and the others on the mountaintop instantly turned pale; it was too late even to stop him!

The Second Prince and several other princes competing for the Crown Prince position couldn't help but reveal gloating smiles!

"Third Brother, it seems you've been harmed by your own people this time! I told you earlier that this Xu Que is insidious, cunning, and despicable. To think you would trust him so much—it really shouldn't have happened!"

The Second Prince shook his head, feigning a look of regret, but his brow was full of sarcasm and mockery!

The First Prince and the others not far away also wore strange smiles as they watched the Third Prince.

The Third Prince clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly, and remained silent!

The Seventh Princess didn't dare to speak casually either. At a time like this, she couldn't guess Xu Que's intentions, nor did she know if Xu Que had any certainty of success. She could only look at Xu Que at the foot of the mountain with worry.

"The time has arrived. The first trial of this Imperial Tomb trial is about to begin. Everyone, please make your final preparations!"

At this moment, the old eunuch presiding over the first trial shouted in a shrill voice.

He was holding a small yellow flag in his hand; once the flag fell, it would signify the official start of the competition!

All the participating prodigy cultivators were solemn and focused, ready to go!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Xu Que also began to step on the brake, while his other foot revved the accelerator to warm up the car. The engine sound was like thunder, resounding in all directions!

Many people were startled by this sudden engine sound and turned their gazes toward Xu Que.

"The first trial of the Imperial Tomb trial, now... begins!"

But just at this moment, the old eunuch suddenly shouted, and at the same time, the yellow flag he held high in his hand was suddenly swung down!

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, Xu Que's AE86 shot out like an arrow from a bow, taking the lead! ===== CHAPTER 321 =====
