The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 165: Helian Wei Wei Came Onstage

Translator: Misty Cloud Editor: Misty Cloud

On the one hand, people were still stunned into silence by the last duel, unable to extricate themselves.

On the other hand, Wei Wei already lightly leapt and arrived on stage.

The teacher standing by the side stared blankly and seemed as if his senses had barely returned to him after the last competition. He panicked and in a great rush, readjusted his glasses. In a clear voice, he declared. “The competition’s first duel, the Inferior Compound is victorious! The second duel is in armaments. Will the student representing the Superior Compound prepare to go onstage.”

“Right now, the pressure’s on the Superior Compound.” The human figure stood up and turned towards Master Bai’s direction and took a look, then sat down again, his face unflustered. “This duel is crucial in regards to the entire competition. Even if they’ve previously already chosen a strong candidate to face their opponent, they’ll still change their candidate. Those new students from the Superior Compound, obviously suffered a blow from the previous match just now and are panicking somewhat. The higher they stand, the harder they’ll fall. For so many years now, they haven’t lost before. What happened this time, indeed was a big blow. However, it doesn’t matter, every team has a linchpin. The linchpin of the Superior Compound’s team is none other than Murong Chang Feng. That one with the last name Bai will certainly send Murong Chang Feng out, not merely because they need to win, but more importantly, to raise the Superior Compound’s morale again. Otherwise, if they don’t win beautifully enough in this match, it’ll probably negatively influence the divination competitor. Because no matter how outstanding the student is, when truly fighting onstage, the lead person going on stage, whether they can or can not hold on to the stage, is also very important.”

This person’s analysis was right on.

Just as the teacher finished talking, Master Bai stood up. “Chief judge, my compound requests a change of competitor.”

During any competition, each compound only had one chance to change competitor.

That’s why unlike the Inferior Compound, the other compounds all prepared students as alternates, so that they could adjust to the circumstances during the competition and replace their competitor at the right time.

This is within everyone’s expectations.

Sure enough, Master Bai sent Murong Chang Feng to go up.

The side of Murong Chang Feng’s handsome face seemed to be not concerned in the least, as he removed the weights bands on his wrists. HIs demeanor was so outstanding that it made many people from the Superior Compound also feel their blood heating up!

“Did you see that! Lord Murong unexpectedly is wearing a weights bands on his wrists. This means that when he was competing against the Fine Compound, he was wearing the weights bands!”

“OMG! When he faced the Fine Compound, the speed with which he assembled the armaments was already so fast, I really can’t imagine, after he takes off the weights band, what it’s going to be like!”

Murong Chang Feng had already found these kinds of exclamations and comments of admiration to be commonplace, the arrogance on his face was obvious, even if he’s better at covering it up, the corners of his mouth still leaked a trace of complacency.

Master Bai stroked his beard and recovered his calmness from before. He believed that as long as Murong Chang Feng was there, they would never lose!

In the last duel, they merely didn’t know their opponent enough.

In this duel, they could even be said to ‘know yourself, know your enemy’. Their opponent was infamous throughout the capitol, not only as a trash, but as someone spoiled, unbridled, rude, and arrogant. With regards to Murong Chang Feng, she’s also like vine smitten with him, tangling him, unwilling to let go.

This kind of person could be handled by any random person from their Superior Compound!

It’s just that, just like what the human figure was saying, this time, Master Bai brought out Murong Chang Feng not merely to have him win. What’s most important was that he took back the stage!

“Right now, I’ll declare the rules for the second duel.” The teacher slowly scanned the people beneath the stage. After they’d all settled down, he then continued. “Unlike the first two matches, this second duel is divided into two parts, the first part is the written exam. The rules are very simple. In here, Master Tu Lao prepared for you guys the same armament components. You guys think about what kind of armaments will best make use of the components. You only need to formulate two kinds of high grade armaments to win. The time given is half of an incense stick. If within this time, a competitor fails to come up with two high grade armaments, they will directly lose. In other words, they’re disqualified from continuing to compete. If both people are able to design two grade armaments, then the one with the better quality will win.”

After he finished saying this, the teacher retreated to the side.

On the wood stage, two stone pillars slowly rose. On each stone pillar the same armament components were arranged. However, what made people feel to be the most difficult was that those components were scattered and were unremarkable. To turn these armament components into one good armament was already very difficult, yet right now, they were surprisingly asked to come up with at least two sets of plans. How deserving of Master Tu Lao, even able to come up with such a tricky theme!

Everyone thought this, as one after another, they turned and glanced towards Master Tu Lao’s seat, but only saw that he show any change in state of mind. Even though it’s not that far from here to the competition stage. However, his cataracts prevented him from seeing the features of the person on the stage clearly. He only stroked his beard and his pair of smiling eyes gave off a mysterious feeling.

“This year, students from the Inferior Compound is actually worth paying attention to, hehe, really didn’t foresee that the one onstage surprisingly is a girl. It seems that this duel is getting more and more interesting.”

The referee sitting by his side glanced at him and grinned. “Tu Lao, ah, I say, this eyesight of yours is getting worse and worse. Isn’t that the Helian family’s Miss Good-for-nothing. Don’t you recognize her?”

“How would he recognize her. Currently, imprinted in his heart is only that genius he met at Phoenix Tower. He doesn’t even care about his own disciple, why would he care about someone who can’t be reached using eight bamboo poles (their disparity is too great).”

Tu Lao put down the teacup in his hand. “You guys can stop teasing me. This year, the Inferior Compound truly is exceptional.”

“This, I admit.” Another master’s expression was conspicuously moved. “That student who just finished his martial qi duel can even directly enter the Superior Compound. Speaking of which, what in the world’s his background. How come I’ve never heard of him?”

Tu Lao also felt puzzled in exactly same way. However, he personally wasn’t very interested in martial qi geniuses. What he’d most like to see during the armaments duel this time was for a dark-horse to kill the competition.

“Look, you guys! Lord Murong already started writing!”

It’s unknown who spoke among the crowd.

Everybody retracted their gazes, the expression in their eyes brimming with astonishment. “So fast?”

“Alright.” Murong Chang Feng merely used a few minutes and already put aside the writing brush in his hand, passing his rolled-up answers to the teacher by his side. “Will the teacher please have the masters take a look, these are my answers.”

The teacher received the fine writing paper and originally was going to give it to Tu Lao. However, Tu Lao smiled gently and waved his hand to signal the teacher to give it to another master.

“He deserves to be your disciple, within such a short time, he already drew up three plans.” The master who received the fine writing paper eyes were full of admiration as he shook his head. “Doesn’t this settle the win.”

Facing this kind of outcome, Tu Lao wasn’t surprised as the corners of his mouth curved up. This disciple of his’ ability was something he already knew about, and indeed not bad.....
