Chapter 66 - Interlude (1/2)

A/N: Starting from this chapter, random comments like Exp or just random spam just for the sake of inflating word count won't be included in the final count. When I asked for comments previously, I was expecting stuff like discussions or your thoughts about the chapter. Extra chapters won't be earned that easily muahahahahaha.

Inside a large wooden house at the core of Sea God's Island, a long wooden table sat in the centre. Eight people seated on either side of it and one person was at the head.

”Pavillion Master, there's a small matter to discuss.” Elder Cai said.

Hearing this, Yun Ming raised an eyebrow. ”What is it?”

Elder Cai cleared her throat before she spoke. ”The delegation from Star Luo would like us to send a group of students to an academy on Star Luo in a student exchange program.” She brought out a small stack of papers that she handed to him before continuing, ”Here, take a look at their proposal.”

Yun Ming flipped through the proposal for a few seconds. Then, he looked up and smiled. ”Tell them that this student exchange is acceptable to us. We'll send our best students from the outer court's first and second grade. Around ten students maybe? Wu Zhangkong can take charge of the group. By the way, make sure that Tang Wulin is in the exchange group. He's always getting into trouble so this is a good opportunity to place him far outside the sight of evil Spirit Masters.”

At this moment, Yun Ming was referring to the fact that Tang Wulin had gotten involved with some business about the evil Spirit Masters. In fact, an evil Spirit Master at the level of a Titled Douluo had kidnapped him earlier.

It was only through the sheer virtue of Zhen Hua arriving quickly that Tang Wulin was saved from the fate of beginning a blood slave to the evil Spirit Master.

”What about Huang Yu then?” Elder Cai asked abruptly.

Hearing that name, Yun Ming's brows furrowed slightly as he kept silent for a short while. A moment later, his expression returned to normal.

”Make sure that he's inside the group as well. With the way that kid operates, I'm sure he'll get a lot done there.”

Yun Ming said it in that way, but everyone there could tell that he wanted Huang Yu to scam some resources out of the people at Star Luo.

On the day of the competition between the first and second-grade classes against the third-grade classes, tensions were high as all the participants prepared both their mental and physical state.

This would be the biggest challenge they had ever faced thus far, and they wanted to rise up to it.

They weren't planning to just do well, but they were planning to win!

The matches soon began, with Yuanen Yehui spearheading the aggressive attack against a guy called Wu Rui.

Wu Rui got destroyed by her. Pretty badly too might he add? With both her Titan Giant Ape and Fallen Angel martial spirits, she easily dominated the fight.

Wu Siduo was up next. She was matched up against a person named Ye Wu. This time, it was an extremely close back and forth which eventually ended with Wu Siduo's victory. However, one should know that although they were only two grades apart, Ye Wu was many years older than her.

Hence, Ye Wu went back with shame plastered on his face.

Why did she lose? Well, it was because Mo Jue used her battle armour near the end. Despite that, Ye Xinglan still fought admirably even when Mo Jue brought it out.

As the one-on-ones were completed, the morale of the third-grade students were at an all-time low. They simply couldn't believe that there was such a disparity between the talents of both sides.

The only person that had won so far was their most talented battle armour master, and even that was a pyrrhic victory! If the others were as strong as those three, how would they stand a chance?

Of course, the others definitely weren't as strong as those three.

Huang Yu and Gu Yue were far stronger.

And they made it painfully clear to the third-grade students when they crushed their opponents as if they were crushing insects.

How their opponents had lost wasn't even funny. The battle only lasted for a pathetic five seconds before it ended.

Did I mention that it only lasted so long because Huang Yu and Gu Yue played a game of rock paper scissors to see who would attack?

At the side, the Holy Spirit Douluo, Yali, who was also the wife of Yun Ming, was watching this with a wry smile on her face.
