"It's the Bloodthirsty Demon."
Master stood with his hands clasped behind his back, the window perfectly framing the battered No. 15 stage below.
His expression was heavy.
"Bloodthirsty Demon? What do you mean?"
Flander felt his brain couldn't keep up.
"The Bloodthirsty Demon signed a contract with us this morning, do you think he wouldn't have investigated Shrek Academy and me, Yu Xiaogang? So I guess he definitely knew Tang San was my disciple, and thus he showed mercy by just knocking him out."
Master laid his cards on the table.
This was the conclusion he had reached after much careful thought.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Flander felt as though he had opened the door to a new world.
"I know you might not agree with this answer, but sometimes the truth is incredibly strange. Start from your guess just now, for anyone to bury the notion that someone blindfolded managed to sneak into the No. 15 stage, what would their purpose be? First, was it to prevent the fight and save Xiaosan? Then why did Xiaosan end up fainting in the end? Normally, shouldn't it be the Bloodthirsty Demon being knocked out so that Xiaosan could win?"
Master asked Flander.
Clear thinking, rigorous logic!
"This..."
Flander's expression turned bitter; he really was stumped.
"Okay, let's assume he's a person from the Bloodthirsty Demon's side, who sneaked in to prevent the Bloodthirsty Demon from getting hurt. But shouldn't he have taken the chance with the Blue Silver Grass blocking the spectators' view to kill Xiaosan? After all, Xiaosan committed a huge crime by forcing a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse like the Bloodthirsty Demon to make a move. But what happened? Tang San collapsed to the ground, with no injuries except for those he had sustained before. Does that make sense?"
Master's voice rose again.
"It doesn't make sense."
Flander shook his head slightly.
His expression at this moment was one of utter confusion.
"There you have it, it's quite obvious that the Bloodthirsty Demon never intended to actually kill Xiaosan because he realized how much he had invested in Xiaosan. Killing him would create a barrier between him and his own mentor, wouldn't it? But tonight, Xiaosan was too arrogant not to be taught a lesson, so he chose a middle ground, knocking him out to win!"
Master was spirited, for his line of reasoning had come full circle and made sense.
He never expected his prospective disciple to think so intricately.
Indeed, he was teachable.
"Impressive, Brock!"
Flander was truly convinced this time.
The logic was impeccable and made perfect sense.
"The reasoning wasn't hard, what's difficult is arranging all this. The Bloodthirsty Demon is really thoughtful," said the Master with a satisfied look.
"But Brock, I still have a question. Aren't all of the Bloodthirsty Demon's soul skills with the Sickle cutting-related? Yet, the hemispherical cage Tang San created was blown apart instantly. How do you explain that?"
This was a doubt in Flander's mind.
He had been in the air at the time.
The thing had exploded like a bomb, in an instant!!
The effect was simply stunning.
It didn't seem like something a Soul Venerable level could accomplish.
"Flander, I really don't know what to say to you. Have you seen him use any other soul skills? Who says he couldn't instantly blow it apart with a different soul skill under those circumstances?" Master countered Flander's question.
"This..."
Flander was at a loss for words.
On the way to Rose Hotel.
"Achoo!"
Ye Feng sneezed.
"What the hell? It doesn't seem cold today. Why did I just sneeze seven or eight times in a row?"
Ye Feng rubbed his nose.
Strange indeed!!
"Make way!"
"Everybody make way!"
At that moment, several carriages were rushing behind Ye Feng!
The coachman was shouting fiercely!
It was as if his house was on fire.
But a wise man does not fight when the odds are against him, so Ye Feng stepped slightly aside to let the carriages pass.
"Whoosh—"
The speed was so fast, it kicked up a breeze!
It flew past him, barely missing a collision!
"Racing at eleven or twelve at night, are you nuts!" Ye Feng shouted angrily.
If it weren't for the fact that he was drained from the day's fights in the Soul Arena and didn't want to make a fuss, he would have chased after the coachman to teach him a lesson!
"Move! Make way for me, make way!!"
Just at that moment, another carriage came from behind!
Its speed was only faster, not slower, than the previous one!
"What the hell is going on tonight? How can there be such rude people?"
Ye Feng sidestepped to the side.
"Swoosh~"
Suddenly, an orange peel flew out from the carriage window.
By an unlucky chance, it landed right on his head.
"?????"
The orange peel was green, and at that moment, it looked like a hat.
"What the fuck do you mean by this!!"
Ye Feng was furious!!
Don't you know what men avoid the most? What do you mean by giving me a green hat out of nowhere!
This kind of behavior, even if an uncle can bear it, an aunt can't stand it!!
Ye Feng immediately chased after the carriage!!
In front of the Rose Hotel.
"Ah, finally here. I really don't know why they made us stay at such a shoddy hotel."
Right now, a somewhat enchanting young man looked rather melancholic. His name was Osslor, a member of the Tian Dou Royal Academy.
"Who knows? But since they've sent us to such a place, staying at this kind of shabby hotel is normal. Let's hurry inside."
Yufeng shrugged his shoulders.
"Shouldn't we wait for the captain and the vice-captain?"
Two burly men stepped down from the carriage, one of them asked, his name was Shimo.
"Right, right, right, my Lingling is still in the carriage."
Yufeng revealed a somewhat lewd smile.
Teasing Lingling was part of his daily life.
"Screech——"
Suddenly, a carriage came flying over.
Then, a beautiful five-meter-long stop.
"What are you all standing around for? Let's go in. We've got a whole day tomorrow!"
The person getting off the carriage was a young man.
Dressed in black clothes, he was casually eating the other half of an orange.
He was Yu Tianheng, the captain of their Dou Huang Battle Team this time.
Following him were two girls, one looking somewhat sexy, holding a few slices of an orange.
The other appeared very demure.
Following quietly behind them.
"Aren't we waiting for you, our captain!"
Osslor and Yufeng said with a smiley face.
The Graphite Brothers also grinned and scratched their heads.
"You lot, stop right there!!"
Just at that moment, a figure charged over from behind!
"Huh? Is he calling out to us?"
The group of seven people were a bit puzzled.
"Whose orange peel is this! Stand out for me!!"
Finally, Ye Feng caught up!!
He was panting and shouting!!
Chasing with sheer strength was really exhilarating.
Just like running a thousand meters in school fitness tests back in the day.
Almost exhausted to death!
"Mine, what about it!"
Yu Tianheng stared at Ye Feng, his tone very cold.
He actually admired him; chasing after someone for an orange peel.
Truly courting death.
"Slap——, yours? Is this how you fucking conduct yourself??"
Ye Feng slapped Yu Tianheng across the face!
