Chapter 844: Arts Stage and Martial Stage are Happening Concurrently
Initially, Long Tao had been gunning for champion. But now, he could only strive for second place.
The disciples of veteran and top factions who had been aiming for second and third place looked as though they had just eaten bitter gourd. Their expressions had soured considerably.
All of them knew that trying to compete with the power of a Class 5 Creation Master’s disciple was the epitome of stupidity.
On the other side of the radyx wall, the Bamboo Monarch looked at Gu Lang with his brows furrowed. He did not understand what his ever-steady disciple was doing.
Given his understanding of his youngest disciple, he should be participating in the Martial Arts Stage.
A long time had passed since he accepted Gu Lang as his disciple. All the other 11 members of royalty who were present, as well as the one of the other end of the video call, had all seen Gu Lang.
Even the Moon Empress turned to look at Bamboo Monarch when she saw Gu Lang heading off to participate in the Arts Stage.
Chef Supreme, who had only intended on spectating, glanced at his youngest disciple.
When he saw the expression on Zong Ze’s face, Chef Supreme froze. He had an inkling of why Gu Lang was participating in the Arts Stage instead.
Although he felt that his guess was most likely right, he did not say it out loud.
Instead, he changed the topic and said, “Bamboo Monarch, Kitchen Fragrance Palace doesn’t have the item that you said could break your bad luck. However, I do have one bottle of Hundred Prosperity Wine left. During winter, I collected the snow from plum blossoms and used the flower buds from 100 types of prosperity flower-type feys and tempered them. This bottle has been sealed for almost 40 years. The prosperity inside might not be enough to remove your bad luck, but it can suppress it for some time.”
Before Chef Supreme sat down, he had already studied Wang Fuxiang’s body condition.
He had put a lot of effort into making the Hundred Prosperity Wine, but after sensing how troublesome her bad luck was, he could not be certain how long the Hundred Prosperity Wine would be able to suppress the bad luck.
Wang Fuxiang was standing behind the Bamboo Monarch. A look of delight came over her when she heard what he said.
When the members of royalty arrived at the Midnight Palace’s inner area, Wang Fuxiang had sensed their eyes linger on her for a moment.
The Moon Empress had looked at her for the longest time.
Wang Fuxiang could not pester the Bamboo Monarch and ask him if he had found the solution to her problem under such circumstances.
She had spent every minute and second of her long life trying to find a way to break her bad luck.
Wang Fuxiang knew the condition of her bad luck well.
After all, not even the Class 5 Creation Master Bamboo Monarch could break his bad luck and was affected by it.
Thus, Wang Fuxiang did not have much hope that her bad luck could be broken.
When she had decided to be together with Bamboo Monarch, Wang Fuxiang had accepted her eventual death.
After she heard Chef Supreme say that the Hundred Prosperity Wine could suppress her bad luck for some time, Wang Fuxiang felt that she had just received a miracle.
If her bad luck was suppressed, she would be able to live with the Bamboo Monarch normally for some time.
Wang Fuxiang thought,?It would be great if the Hundred Prosperity Wine could suppress my bad luck for a year. I might be able to have a child during that time.
The Bamboo Monarch had been confused about his youngest disciple’s decision. But now that he heard what Chef Supreme said, his attention had been completely diverted.
Just as the Bamboo Monarch was about to thank Chef Supreme, the Moon Empress shot him a frowning look.
Wang Fuxiang had been born with bad luck. Not even wine made from 1,000 types of prosperity beasts could counter her bad luck for long, much less the Hundred Prosperity Wine.
It would only be effective for two months at most.
The Moon Empress could also produce the Hundred Prosperity Wine, but her bad luck became stronger each time it was countered.
Next time, it would become even harder to suppress it.
She felt that Chef Supreme’s idea would be like bandaging a bullet hole and would not be able to solve the problem fully.
Now, the Moon Empress only wanted to watch.
She did not care about who won the Art Stage, Martial Stage, and Martial Arts Stage.
Soon, Lin Yuan would change into the clothes she had prepared for him and take his seat by her side.
At that time, she would officially announce Lin Yuan’s identity and tell the world who Zhao Xiyue’s disciple was.
Thus, she found the competition between young people rather boring.
You Zhe said to the young disciples behind him, “Okay, if no one else intends to participate in the Arts Stage, the final number of participants shall be fixed at 25.”
You Zhe started to walk into the long corridor.
Gao Feng watched as Long Tao disappeared into the long corridor behind You Zhe and turned to say to Lin Yuan, “I can’t believe the Arts Stage is so boring. Lin Yuan, you must be a Creation Master since you’re participating in the Martial Arts Stage. Do you think it’s fair that everyone has a different topic?”
Lin Yuan paused to think before replying, “If they’re testing Creation Master skills, this method of competition is fair.”
Before the Arts Stage took place, Lin Yuan did not know that the competition would be carried out in such a way.
This method of competition was extremely advantageous to Lin Yuan because the picking of topics allowed Lin Yuan to avoid his issue of evolving fey grades.
However, he was unsure if the Arts portion of the Martial Arts Stage would be carried out in the same manner.
Before Gao Feng could nod his head at Lin Yuan’s words, Zuo Ming said, “The Arts Stage will not end immediately, but the Martial Stage will begin now.”
Zuo Ming pointed at a large empty area in the center of the area outside the palace and said, “The Martial Arts Stage will be held here, and I will be the emergency helper. I will gauge the strength of each attack to judge if the other party will be able to handle it. If the attack is too much for the opponent to handle, I will step in to end the fight to ensure every participants’ safety. If you would like to participate in the Martial Stage, please follow me.”
Gao Feng was still nodding and was about to ask Lin Yuan more about the Arts Stage, but all his rising questions evaporated in his throat upon hearing what Zuo Ming said.
He did not expect the Arts Stage and Martial Stage to take place concurrently.
It looked like he was about to receive a good beating soon.
