Chapter 1060: Divination
Forget it, I'll tolerate you.
Taking two deep breaths, Tang Rao drove all the unrelated little things out.
"Don't kick me out, I know how to bring people up."
Jixing was thrown into the portable palace. He thought he wasn't even qualified to stay there, but after a quick thought, he really did come up with a way to continue staying in the portable palace.
"What? You say you can let me bring people up?"
The action of expelling Jixing suddenly stopped.
"Yeah, I didn't think of it before, but now I did."
If he knew that Tang Rao had more Purple Crystals than Immortal Stones, Jixing would've thought of it right away.
"Between the Third World and the Land of Immortals, there's a chasm. But it's not impossible to cross. We have a sort of family visit leave. You can go first, just need to pay a certain amount of Purple Crystals to the hall, and you can bring people up. The more Purple Crystals, the less obvious the time limit."
If you give enough, you can stay up there for a lifetime, provided you can live that long up there.
"Really? Then why didn't you say so earlier?"
Tang Rao never lacks Purple Crystals. If things can be accomplished with funds, that's no big deal.
"I didn't know you had that many Purple Crystals."
Jixing felt wronged.
Tang Rao's suppressed heart finally felt a bit better. He left a pile of food behind and happily exited the portable palace.
The arena matches continued the next day.
Everyone present gasped when they saw Tang Rao appear.
"Isn't he done with the competitions? What is he doing here again? Is he trying to show off?"
"I don't know, I heard the examiner talked to him alone yesterday, who knows if there's some shady dealings in private."
When it comes to conspiracies, people are more interested in them than anything else.
"Look, what happened overnight, everyone knows about it. There are no walls in the Land of Immortals that can't be penetrated."
Tang Rao expected this and whenever someone talked about him, he'd turn and smile foolishly at them until they turned away, questioning their own existence.
"Li Ze, it's your turn soon. Don't be nervous, just perform at your normal level. This guy isn't a match for you."
Tang Rao had long analyzed the opponent that Li Ze, or Old He, would face. Li Ze's overall strength was stronger, but he was a Beast Soul User, the most unique and powerful existence outside of the Four Great Bloodlines. Just in terms of bloodline, a Beast Soul User can crush that guy from earlier.
As for Old He, no need to mention. Old He's strength surpassed others by a long margin. If he can't win despite such disparity, it might not be a bad thing for him to leave the Ice and Snow World early.
"No problem, boss already said no problem, I'll just treat it like a military boxing match."
Pft.
So carefree, not bad.
Tang Rao inwardly gave Li Ze a thumbs up.
"Go on."
Li Ze faced the Hidden Immortal Emperor, and his opponent was more composed than Li Ze. At the start, both sides were in a standoff.
Li Ze held his ground, and his opponent held theirs. When half the time had passed, Li Ze and his opponent both started moving at the same time, showing their calculations were similar.
During a stick of incense, both were evenly matched. In the end, it depended on who had more endurance.
Coming from a military background, Li Ze was the most patient. Whether being relentlessly attacked or waiting for the chance to strike, each confrontation ended safely for him.
A Beast Soul User has the advantage that the more intense the moment, their bloodline gets activated.
Once the bloodline is activated, a Beast Soul User can quickly distinguish victory and defeat within a short time.
Their potential needs to be triggered, just requiring some time.
"Li Ze wins!"
In just a moment of distraction, Tang Rao couldn't believe his eyes that Li Ze had already won.
The person defeated by Li Ze was reluctant to accept it and tried to kill Li Ze before stepping down, only to be knocked down by a flying slap from Tang Rao.
There was a murmur among the audience.
Because they didn't see how Tang Rao moved.
"Boss, thank you."
Li Ze clasped his fists in thanks to Tang Rao, who simply flipped his hair back flamboyantly and said, "It was nothing."
There were women present too, though they were usually fiercer than anyone in a fight. Seeing Tang Rao's dashing figure, they displayed endless admiration for him.
The next match was Old He's. Old He was faster than Li Ze, KO'ing his opponent in three moves. It was the dullest match, and Tang Rao almost admired Old He for his luck.
"Big brother, I passed too, just luck, luck."
Who could imagine the scene of an elderly man hugging a strong young man?
Tang Rao crossed his arms and pushed Old He back several steps.
"We're all burly men, let's talk things out."
With so many people watching, there's a need to maintain some dignity.
"Next, it's time to decide the top ten. Whether we can go to the Endless Sea depends on getting into the top ten."
As the competition progressed, the pressure increased. Tang Rao couldn't even guarantee his place, let alone his two subordinates.
At this point, he could only promise to do his best, and the rest was up to luck.
"Boss, I know you've done your best for us. I won't give up."
"Yes, I won't either. The Endless Sea is my lifelong dream."
Old He had spent many years of his youth for this dream, only he knew how much.
Uncle Zhou sat in the center, observing the entire progression with focus. Not only Tang Rao, but the two beside him weren't ordinary people. Perhaps that's why Tang Rao didn't immediately agree to Uncle Zhou's offer to take him to the Third World yesterday, considering these two.
"That's good. Let's prepare and leave the rest to fate."
Uncle Zhou had keen ears, listening to every word of Tang Rao's crew. He called over yesterday's maid and instructed her, "Go, calculate their chances of getting into the top ten."
Uncle Zhou only worried about Tang Rao. If those two were Tang Rao's friends, he had no issue including them in the calculation.
"Yes."
The maid withdrew, needing only a little time for the calculation but requiring immense energy, especially calculating for three at once. Whether she'd endure after finishing was uncertain.
After the calculation, the maid appeared again, her face pale as a sheet.
"How is it?"
Uncle Zhou asked.
"I can't tell victory or defeat, the variables are too great."
It was the first time such a situation arose for the maid. She handed the hexagram to Uncle Zhou, who confirmed its uncertainty.
It's not the maid's fault, but Tang Rao's destiny that no one could precisely predict.
"Never mind, go down and take a good rest."
Uncle Zhou handed an Immortal Elixir to the maid and then didn't pay much more attention.
