Qu Rou (Xiao Mei) also won her match. Although she didn't fight to the very end like Da Zhuang, the fight was extremely exhausting, leaving her almost completely drained.
The Knights Organization is already one of the top non-human organizations in the West, and the talents it cultivates are naturally quite strong.
The opponent was known for her speed and put Qu Rou under a lot of pressure. The reason she lost the ring was because she ran out of energy.
However, the Knights Organization has another match coming up, and their opponent is also a player from Shenzhou. This is the third time the Knights Organization has encountered a player from Shenzhou that day.
However, this time the opponent was not the national team from the Administration Bureau, but the academic school from Zhongnan Mountain, a handsome young Taoist priest.
[Knight Organization] The player entering the arena is a rare female knight, known as the second seed: Alan.
Surprisingly, the female knight eventually defeated the young Taoist priest... and it was from this match that the eight-game winning streak of the Shenzhou players came to an end.
This can be considered a shot in the arm for the players from all the teams.
Judging from the schedule of the second stage of the arena competition, it is not difficult to see that the organizing committee has a strong intention to target the Chinese players in the match-up... because the Chinese players are likely to be matched up against the seeded players of various organizations.
Faced with this deliberately targeted allocation, the representatives from China did not raise any objections.
"What's the point of protesting? Our people won't even meet before the finals. I wonder which brilliant strategist came up with this dirty trick..."
"It's both a challenge and an opportunity. As long as we are not afraid of the challenge, if the Chinese athletes can win, they can all be sent to the finals, and the chances of winning the championship will greatly increase... Maybe it will be like the Olympic ball games, where two teammates compete for the gold and silver medals."
"I think I understand why the official representatives from China didn't protest at all..."
……
Ziling's mother cashed out her bet at noon. She was in a great mood because of the efficiency. Without saying a word, she ordered a takeout meal to treat Dazhuang and the others that evening.
During this time, she had become familiar with Dazhuang and others.
Ziling's mother knows how to invest in connections. These young guys like Dazhuang will definitely be highly valued by the [Management Bureau] in the future... Who knows, she might be able to use such valuable connections someday!
Interestingly, when claiming the prize, Ziling's mother ran into the guy secretly selling Z-coins near the betting station again, but it wasn't the one she had met that morning.
This time it was a fair-skinned woman in her thirties, but she looked terrible and was clearly a high-dose addict.
Curious, she asked about the price and was told it was $660,000, $10,000 more expensive than the white man she'd met that morning. She was secretly astonished and very curious about what kind of new product this "Z-coin" was designed to exploit people.
"Those who set up these kinds of schemes are basically big-time financial tycoons. Why should an ordinary person like you care about these things? Are you just bored?" Best friend and guru [Xuan Ruo] scoffed at this. "I've redeemed my prize. Let's go eat."
Perhaps because Ziling's mother had sneaked out to place bets in the morning, Ah Xiruo came over to keep an eye on things as soon as the morning match ended.
"Master, you seem very irritable today?" Ziling's mother thought for a moment and said, "Did you eat hot pot last night and get a sore throat?"
Ah Xi Ruo froze... She wasn't someone who had never been online before, and upon hearing this, a strange image suddenly flashed through her mind.
She sat down in the chair, sipped her wine, and then shoved the scoundrel's head down...
"Great God? Great God?"
Ah Xiruo's face instantly flushed, and her plump thighs subconsciously squeezed together slightly... Fortunately, the fox mask concealed her true feelings, so she immediately shook her head and said calmly, "The Shenzhou contestants lost a few matches just now, and although they weren't from the Management Bureau... they were still quite angry."
Ziling's mother nodded. The reason was so reasonable that she didn't think much of it.
After entering the second stage of the competition, the canteen provided by the organizers for the players was not as crowded as it was in the first stage... and even seemed a bit empty.
How many more matches are there on Shenzhou this afternoon?
"There are still six matches left," Ah Xi Ruo thought for a moment and said, "After today's matches, we don't need to come tomorrow. Then we just wait for the finals in three days."
Ziling's mother thought for a moment and said, "Can I apply to come over? Other contestants are also worth reporting and studying."
Ah Xi nodded without comment... This old lady really takes work seriously. "I'll have someone arrange it."
Ziling's mother nodded, then turned to look at Pear: "Pear, are you going to take all the dishes from every window?"
"The cooks here don't shake the food when serving it!!"
……
……
Outside, it was like a carnival lasting more than ten days. During the day, the roads were filled with people reveling wildly... The peak of the tourism industry was tangible at this moment.
It was like a feast for the soul.
In preparation for this tournament, all schools in the Washington, D.C. area have suspended classes.
Meanwhile, an uninvited guest arrived at the teaching building of a community high school.
He casually walked through the corridor and soon stopped in front of the school clinic—two men wearing vests with grim faces instantly locked their gazes on him.
"Let him in."
At that moment, a deep, hoarse voice came from the school clinic.
The two men outside silently opened the door to the school clinic... Seeing this, Hou Bai chuckled and slowly walked in.
The school clinic here is very large, and its configuration is obviously different from that of a typical school clinic. It has obviously been modified... After Hou Bai walked through another door, he soon saw Situ Leiming.
The once-renowned leader of the American "Hongmen" is now lying in a hospital bed, covered in tubes and receiving oxygen.
Besides Situ Qingfeng accompanying him, there was also a doctor and two nurses outside the hospital bed.
Situ Leiming struggled to sit up against the headboard and slowly removed his breathing mask. "Qingfeng...you guys go out first. I'll talk to this Mr. Hou."
"Understood, Elder Sect Master." Situ Qingfeng nodded solemnly, then glanced warily at Hou Bai before leading his men out.
Hou Bai simply smiled calmly, pulled over a folding chair, and sat directly on the edge of the bed. "This place is nice; true seclusion is found in the heart of the city."
Situ Leiming didn't say anything. The Hongmen had been developing here for over a hundred years, so they must have some tricks up their sleeves... Otherwise, Gongsun Shiyu wouldn't have come to him privately to ask him to surrender.
"How badly are you injured?" Hou Bai asked after thinking for a moment.
"I won't die for now." Situ Leiming shook his head. "The King of Hell probably doesn't want to take me in. I went through the gates of hell, but I was kicked out."
Hou Bai frowned. "Didn't you take the precious medicine I gave you last time?"
“I ate.” Situ Leiming breathed a sigh of relief. “Otherwise, you probably wouldn’t be seeing me today.”
"What exactly happened that night?" Hou Bai asked in a deep voice. "The [Sun] councilor is very dissatisfied with your private actions!"
Originally, Situ Leiming's plan was to form an alliance of non-human beings from the American underworld, choose a date, and attack S.H.I.E.L.D.
Gongsun Shiyu also thought the operation was feasible, so he let Situ Leiming carry it out.
When Gongsun Shiyu arrived in the United States, he didn't bring many people with him... and he also had other plans.
Initially, the Hongmen was just a side project, but it seemed to have some potential to be revitalized, so he simply went along with Situ Leiming's desire for revenge.
“Huo Zhen has come to me again…” Situ Leiming said slowly.
Hou Bai immediately narrowed his eyes.
After a while.
"...So, it turns out that the attacks on the New Miracle Base and the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters were indeed carried out by the Chinese side." Hou Bai sighed softly, then lit a slim black cigarette and sneered, "Mr. Situ, it seems you're being treated like royalty?"
“They’re not fools,” Situ Leiming said calmly. “If I didn’t do this, Huo Zhen wouldn’t believe me. Don’t worry, I haven’t revealed your existence… Duo Jun, isn’t she living in the manor?”
"What happened at the manor in Mar-a-Lago that day?" the candidate asked after thinking for a moment.
Situ Leiming recalled, "I led the people from the [Traditional Martial Arts Hall] to attack the manor at the agreed time. However, the security forces around the President were far beyond my expectations."
Hou Bai said calmly, "There is already a special guard around the President of the United States. They call it the X Team. They seem to be a group of mutant non-humans, discovered by the military. The military does not completely trust Wayne's S.H.I.E.L.D.."
“Yes, we know far too little about this special guard,” Situ Leiming sighed. “I overestimated their capabilities to the maximum extent possible, but we still suffered losses. One of them is called the Black Emperor, whose ability is to absorb any energy attack…”
"Is there no upper limit?" Hou Bai thought seriously.
Situ Leiming shook his head. "I don't know. The Black Emperor absorbed all our attacks... and was even able to release that energy as an attack again. This ability was simply too much for us to deal with at the time."
"Hmm..." Hou Bai nodded.
After Situ Leiming took the precious medicine, his injuries were healed, and he would also have a few days of heightened energy, during which his strength would surge, probably to the level of LV5. However, this would be at the bottom, since Situ Leiming was already old and had long passed his peak condition... This is also a weakness of traditional martial arts practitioners.
What level of combat power does this "Black Emperor" possess?
"So, that night, your attack failed, and you retreated?"
“If we don’t leave, we will all die.” Situ Leiming sighed. “As the last remaining force of the Hongmen, the [Traditional Martial Arts Hall] has lost nearly a third of its strength in this operation!”
"So what about the President?"
"What's going on?"
Hou Bai paused for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "He was shot. It's said that he was shot by a guard from the special operations team... If it weren't for the timely use of the Holy Water from the Holy See, the flag would probably be at half-mast by now. Wasn't this your doing?"
Situ Leiming shook his head: "If I had that kind of ability, why would I bring the [Traditional Martial Arts Hall] to Haihu Manor? Wouldn't that be ridiculous?"
"This is interesting." Hou Bai couldn't help but chuckle. "It seems there are quite a few people who want to get their hands on this president."
Situ Leiming pondered for a moment and said, "Do you... have you figured out who did it?"
"I don't know about that." Hou Bai shrugged. "It hasn't been long since the incident, and there hasn't been any particular movement from any side, so it's hard to tell who it is... But this president is too eccentric. He has offended a lot of people in both parties, so anyone could be one of them."
Situ Leiming gave a soft "hmm".
Hou Bai smiled and said, "But no matter what, you have avenged your great grudge this time. Although it was different from your original plan and you didn't use those 'inhuman' beings from the American underworld, you still managed to get the Fire Cloud Evil God to take action. That kind of effect is something that rabble could not achieve."
“Wayne is not dead.” Situ Leiming’s eyes flashed with hatred.
Hou Bai shook his head and said, "It's impossible for Shenzhou to kill Wayne directly. The reason why Fire Cloud Evil God and Huo Zhen would take action to destroy the New Miracle Base and the headquarters of Sky Shield is also because it's in their own interest. You should understand the balance involved, otherwise the Soldiers of the Motherland would have been dead that very night."
Situ Leiming thought for a moment and said, "Whom does Shenzhou intend to frame?"
Hou Bai shrugged and said, "It's foreseeable that it will be given to the [New World] government... After all, the [New World] just turned the [Galiman Province] and the [Rainbow Province] against each other, which is perfect, and no one can find fault with it."
Situ Leiming frowned and said, "You don't seem to care about this?"
Hou Bai chuckled and said, "If anyone cares, it should be the councilors. I'm just an employee. I'll do whatever Councilor Sun asks me to do. I won't do anything unnecessary."
Situ Leiming said calmly, "The young master is not here."
Hou Bai shrugged. "The Sun is always in my heart."
—What a dog…
Situ Leiming pondered for a moment and said, "During this time, I am unable to move. I want Qingfeng to make contact with you..."
Hou Bai nodded. Situ Leiming's current condition was indeed unsuitable for controlling the power of the Hongmen... Situ Qingfeng was a very suitable candidate.
"Tell Situ Qingfeng about the young master's situation first. I will introduce him to Councilor Sun and tell him to be ready at any time."
"you are leaving?"
"I won't disturb your rest."
"...Duo Jun, have you been settling in well these past few days?" Situ Leiming asked, sounding slightly nervous.
Hou Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Duo Jun is very comfortable here. Councilor [Sun] guides her cultivation every day, and it is said that she is making rapid progress. Perhaps she will surpass you soon."
A complex look flashed in Situ Leiming's eyes. "I'll have Qingfeng take you."
Hou Bai has no objection.
……
Situ Qingfeng returned quickly.
Situ Leiming's gaze narrowed slightly as he said, "Find an opportunity to contact the people from the Bureau... Be careful, there seems to be a tracking expert in the X Team. Mutants' abilities are all kinds of strange and unpredictable, so we must be on guard."
Situ Qingfeng nodded.
His life was given to him by the old sect leader's family, and he would do whatever the old sect leader told him to do.
“Let me tell you about Hou Bai…” Situ Leiming seemed to have made a decision, and said quietly, “Also, it’s time for you to know about the secrets of our Situ family’s ancestors.”
……
……
……
……
Amidst the cheering crowd, a pair of tense, wary eyes, like those of a cheetah on the hunt, were fixed intently on the people on the street from the shadows.
Moving with the agility of a rabbit, she turned out to be a young girl with a tanned complexion, wearing a loose-fitting coat.
In an instant, the girl crouched down in the crowd and nimbly ran... at an extremely fast speed, without even attracting any attention.
She quickly reached for a food truck shelf, grabbed a Mexican burrito, and darted into a small alley to eat it.
Just then, faint sounds came from the depths of the alley... seemingly some kind of painful cry.
She instinctively wiped the sauce off her palms and cautiously ventured deeper into the alley... Soon, the girl witnessed a horrifying scene.
She saw a burly man who was almost two meters tall kneeling on the ground, his hands seemingly trying to grab something... but the man's body was rapidly turning to stone!
Standing in front of the burly man was... a child!
what……
The girl was terrified by the scene and instinctively screamed.
She quickly realized what was happening, forcefully covering her mouth, and then without hesitation, turned to try and escape the alley—but the next moment, a small figure appeared in the girl's escape route.
Only then did she get a clear look at the child's appearance... cute and adorable, but expressionless.
"I...I didn't mean to peek, I just heard some sounds..." the girl said in a trembling voice.
But the child tilted his head, his face showing a puzzled expression.
The girl suddenly realized—she had never left her homeland, nor had she ever learned the common language of the invaders whom her people hated. They were speaking the ancient language passed down through generations, which the child clearly couldn't understand…
She took a deep breath. Although the child gave her a terrifying feeling, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions for the time being... She carried the blood feud of her clan on her shoulders and couldn't afford any accidents to happen here.
“Me!” The girl pointed to herself, “Tina!”
"...Tina?"
Just now.
"Hey kid, what are you dawdling about?"
A young man wearing a thick gold chain appeared silently like a thug, carrying a case of beer, and glanced at the girl.
Instantly, the girl, Taina, went limp and collapsed to the ground.
The young man before her emanated power, his body as black as an abyss… Then the girl suddenly covered her mouth; the intense discomfort made her vomit, and she even lost control of her bladder…
"What the hell..."
Jin Shi stared wide-eyed in disbelief—damn it, am I really that scary?!
It was one thing for the other guys to start trembling or even going crazy when they saw him, but they never expected this girl to go so far... This is too much!
