Chapter 499

The Diao Chan conjured by the formation spoke while striking cute poses, trying to tease everyone.

Hearing that answering wasn't allowed, Lin Yu voluntarily stepped back to become a spectator, watching to see how Guan Yu and the others would cope.

"What is fifty-five plus seventy-six?"

Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu — the four of them, some counting on their fingers, some squeezing their eyes shut in deep thought, some tugging at their own hair, each with a different expression, were utterly hilarious.

"One hundred thirty!"

"One hundred twenty-three!"

"One hundred eleven!"

"Ninety-nine!"

"Aiya, all wrong! What a pity!" Diao Chan said smugly, clapping her hands.

Quick as a flash, four burly men wielding wooden clubs leapt out from behind and unceremoniously smacked their bottoms hard.

"Ascending Heaven Pavilion, this is way too funny! If Da Dong were here, he'd laugh himself into a fit of hiccups for sure!"

"It is pretty funny, but they're really suffering right now — laughing like that, Master, seems a bit like gloating over their misfortune."

Ascending Heaven Pavilion and Lin Yu were communicating across time and space through their minds, but Lin Yu was still holding back his laughter, his shoulders trembling slightly despite himself.

"Alright! Next question."

"Take twenty-three away from ninety-nine, how much is left?"

After finishing the caning, Diao Chan tossed out another question,

"Fifty-two"

"Seventy-two"

"Sixty-three"

"Eighty-one"

"Aiya, still all wrong!"

Hearing it was still wrong, the four were on the verge of collapse.

Huang Zhong, who had just been caned again, tightly covered his own bottom and clenched his teeth.

"I really want to pin her to the ground and beat her up."

Ma Chao looked at the spot that was still faintly aching.

"I don't even like hitting people, let alone when the other party is a girl."

Zhang Fei waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't all stare at me, I listen to my brother Guan Yu."

Guan Yu glanced at Diao Chan, his cheeks flushing red.

"I... what should I do!"

Everyone sighed.

"Whatever, we can't all be wrong, right."

"Blind guessing might just work."

"Third question."

"Sixty minus nine equals what?"

The four exchanged uncertain glances.

"Fifty-two, fifty-four, fifty-five, fifty-six."

"All wrong!"

"You little muddle-heads."

The four were about to explode, looking at Lin Yu with faces full of grievance.

Lin Yu shook his head helplessly.

"Alright! Alright! Continue."

"Forty plus forty equals what?"

"Um... um... eighty."

"Eighty? Correct! Congratulations, you've passed my checkpoint."

Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Huang Zhong burst out laughing even louder,

"Ma Chao, didn't expect your mental math to be that good!"

"Good my foot, I said the wrong number and she heard it as eighty — what could I do about it."

"Never mind, passing is all that matters, let's go, let's go."

At the fourth checkpoint, the moment the group walked over, a bunch of people dressed in rock-and-roll style came out.

"Welcome to the Rock World, want to pass? Come see who's more explosive!"

0 ·······Please send flowers···· ······

"Bring it on!" Zhang Fei responded.

"Your friend is Ma Chao, right? His martial arts were all passed down from his mother, weren't they." The Rock Duo asked.

"Where did you hear that from?" Ma Chao asked, looking at them in surprise.

"Don't worry about how I know, recite this passage better than us, and you win."

"Let's warm up first."

"Ma Mama scolds Ma Chaochao for not eating and making a fuss about wanting to eat." The Rock Duo said it in an extremely tongue-twisting way.

"What is this?"

"Ma Mama scolds Ma Chaochao for not eating and making a fuss about wanting to eat."

.... 0....

"It's a bit of a mouthful, but it'll do." Zhang Fei, on the other hand, understood perfectly.

Everyone stared at Zhang Fei, as if this hurdle depended entirely on him.

"Yo! Not bad! Then bring it on!"

"..."

The crowd gaped, staring at the two across from them—the pair had just delivered a rap whose difficulty couldn't possibly be any higher.

"What do we do? Who's going to handle them?"

"This is way too hard!"

Everyone was thrown into a complete daze by those two.

"Is it really that hard?" Lin Yu swept his gaze across the crowd and said.

Lin Yu was seen pulling a portable mini tape recorder from his clothes and pressing the record button.

"..."

While the rock duo performed, Lin Yu had quietly recorded them.

"Now it doesn't matter if you can't remember it—I'll slow it down even more, until you puke from listening!" Lin Yu said to the group.

The crowd was utterly stunned by the sight, and the rock duo was dumbfounded as well.

"Haha! Nothing can stop us now!" Zhang Fei said happily.

But before half a minute of joy had passed, a shockwave came streaking straight at the recorder in Lin Yu's hand, and the recorder was instantly destroyed.

"Looks like we can only use the last resort!" The group exchanged glances and immediately sent out a.
