No matter what kind of person the Pope is, if he dares to show us up, I’ll teach him how to be a good person”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else looked at him with strange expressions in their eyes\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Ye Fei Li was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll bet 10 Credits that you won’t win against that monster” Liao Xing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have so little faith in me?” Ye Fei Li said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll bet 100 million, you’ll die an extremely horrible death” Zhang Ying Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fei Li didn’t believe it and looked at Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan patted his shoulder, saying: “Only when you’re able to fight on par with Anna, will you be able to even think about fighting with the Holy Apostles of the Holy Church”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someday, if you ever manage to beat Anna, and then beat a Holy Apostle, you’ll be able to return alive from meeting with the Pope”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anna… is only a 4th stage Elementalist peak, but I’m already a 6th stage Man Killer Fiend King” Ye Fei Li was unconvinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan answered: “I told you already, the current system is unreliable, Anna’s Fire element coupled with her God’s Chosen Skill makes her even stronger than a normal 5th stage Professionist”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fei Li looked at Anna and said: “Then how about we fight it out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna scoffed: “You just take a look at your glass first”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ye Fei Li looked down, he saw that his wine glass has already been half-melted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If this was a real fight, you would’ve already died” Anna lifted her chin and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just what’s going on here?”?
