SFS Chapter 129 Unexpected Result
Chapter 129 Unexpected Result
Tao Tao didn't care what the people were discussing. She calmly walked towards the arena. Just then, Li Kuo walked over, glanced at her, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, junior sister, I will definitely go easy on you."
"Then thank you very much, Senior Brother." Tao Tao smiled sweetly, without a trace of fear on her face, which surprised Li Kuo. Logically speaking, she should be afraid when she met him, after all, their strengths were not on the same level. Tao Tao's behavior made Li Kuo feel that she was just pretending to be calm.
Li Kuo didn't speak again, but nodded slightly and strode towards the arena, with Tao Tao following closely behind.
After the two entered, Tao Tao realized that it was a circular arena with many people sitting around it. They were all disciples from various sects, and of course, there were also senior members who wanted to see how strong the juniors were.
With so many people, the pressure is naturally greater, especially for those who like to show off. If they fail here, it will be a huge blow.
Seeing that Tao Tao was paying close attention to her surroundings, Li Kuo suddenly asked, "Junior sister, are you scared?"
"A little." Tao Tao grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, making it impossible to tell whether she was being sincere or just talking nonsense.
As the war drums sounded, a firework shot into the sky, and the referee shouted sternly, "The competition begins!"
Li Kuo and Tao Tao bowed to each other. Just as Tao Tao bent down, Li Kuo made his move. He heard a few "whoosh" sounds and countless flying blades surrounded Tao Tao, instantly igniting a raging fire.
This flame looked extraordinary, and the key was that Tao Tao was trapped inside, unable to move forward or backward. The scorching flames hit her face, making her delicate little face glow red.
"I have no choice but to finish this quickly." Li Kuo was very proud of himself. He believed that he could deal with Tao Tao, who had only average cultivation, in a few moves. It would be a mistake for him to spend any more time.
Tao Tao turned her head and glanced at the flames around her, showing no panic whatsoever, remaining calm as if she weren't the one surrounded by flames.
Let's see how long you can stay calm. With that thought, Li Kuo quickly changed his hand seals and chanted incantations. Suddenly, the flames around Tao Tao surged and instantly engulfed her.
Those watching the fight were all deeply saddened, worried that Tao Tao might be seriously injured.
"The outcome is decided." Li Kuo smirked triumphantly. Just as he was about to step forward to check on Tao Tao, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared, and a chilling coldness came from behind him. Before he could turn around, double rings crackling with blue electricity attacked from both wings. In an instant, Li Kuo was struck by the electricity, trembling uncontrollably on the spot, black smoke rising from his hair. He twitched his lips, rolled his eyes, and collapsed to the ground.
The speed of the attack was so fast that many people on the scene didn't even see it clearly, let alone Li Kuo, who was in the middle of it. He never expected that Tao Tao was not afraid of those flames at all. While shielding his aura, he instantly appeared behind him and delivered the most fatal blow.
Tao Tao's figure was only revealed after Li Kuo fell. She was not surprised by the result at all. She stretched out her hand, retrieved the double rings, and then walked out of the arena casually.
Because the competition was so fast-paced, it was an overwhelming victory. Tao Tao gained ten more points, bringing his total to one hundred and ten points, making it a truly fruitful trip.
The group of people waiting in the lobby were all dumbfounded. How could a girl who seemed to have an ordinary talent be so powerful? Could she be hiding her strength?
That makes sense, how many people in a martial arts tournament would easily reveal their strength in the early stages? To put it bluntly, it's because they themselves misjudge people.
The most embarrassed person was Bai Lu. She had been waiting to see Tao Tao make a fool of herself, but Tao Tao won easily and decisively. It was clear that there was a reason for Tao Tao's rejection.
Before Tao Tao even returned to the lobby, a group of people were already in an uproar, especially the group that had placed bets. They had all placed their bets on Li Kuo, but Li Kuo lost so easily that a huge amount of his points went down the drain.
"Don't look at me like that. You were the ones who wanted to place the bet. I didn't force you. Besides, we don't know how strong the other side is. If we misjudged them, it's just that we have bad judgment." Facing so many questioning eyes, Bai Lu casually absolved herself of all responsibility.
If she hadn't been stirring things up, why would those people have come to place bets?
"I think you're doing this on purpose, clearly trying to get the points we have!"
"Nonsense, didn't you see I also bet on Li Kuo? How can you blame me for his own incompetence?"
Bai Lu really hadn't considered that Tao Tao would win, and she still bet two hundred points. She was even feeling the pinch when these people came to cause her trouble.
Just as everyone was arguing, someone quietly peeked out from behind Bai Lu and said cheerfully, "Excuse me, I bet on Letaotao. Could you please settle the bill?"
"You!" Bai Lu was furious and couldn't stand these words, but she couldn't retaliate. A bet is a bet, and she couldn't go back on her word. Just thinking about how she was the only one who bet on Le Tao Tao made her grit her teeth in anger. "What kind of luck did she have!"
She abruptly transferred the points to that person, not forgetting to make a few sarcastic remarks. The person didn't care, happily left after receiving the points, making Bai Lu roll her eyes.
Just then, Tao Tao returned to the lobby and noticed that many people were looking at her. She didn't bother to give them a second glance and went back to her original seat, where she sat down and closed her eyes to rest.
The person who had just made a fortune leisurely sat down to Tao Tao's left. As soon as he sat down, Tao Tao heard a familiar voice enter his mind.
"Tao Tao".
"Senior Brother Song?"
Tao Tao opened her eyes in surprise and saw Song Chaofeng to her left. She was excited and wanted to greet him, but Song Chaofeng shook his head slightly, indicating that they should not make a fuss. So the two pretended not to communicate and began to communicate telepathically.
"Why are you being so mysterious?" Tao Tao asked, puzzled. Song Chaofeng couldn't hide his amusement and said in a telepathic message, "I just made a fortune. After the martial arts competition, let's go to the small trading market. You can pick whatever you want."
"How did you make it?"
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you. Everyone else bet on Li Kuo, but when I saw that the opponent was you, I bet on you without hesitation. The odds were pretty high, and sure enough, you won. I made a fortune."
"Oh, I see. Why didn't you look for me when you came? I thought you weren't going to participate in the Class C competition."
"I wasn't planning to participate, but I heard you were coming. There's a two-person martial arts competition later on, which gives more points. Since you want points, you'll definitely have to participate in the two-person martial arts competition. If you team up with other people, they'll have more ulterior motives and will definitely want to get more points for themselves. I was worried, so I came to check it out, and sure enough."
"So you came here for me?"
Tao Tao was very touched. She and Song Chaofeng had known each other for so long and had always had a good relationship. Song Chaofeng doted on her and indulged her in everything, which allowed her to have no worries during the days when she first regained consciousness.
"Well, luckily I've reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment now, so I won't hold you back too much. Just sign up with peace of mind. Let's try to get as many points as possible as soon as possible and aim for third place."
