As the host finished his sentence, the entire arena turned silent.
An Orange and Yellow-level Double Honorary Aristocrat facing off against a Yellow Green-level Double Honorary Aristocrat. Could he succeed?
Everyone’s hearts were at their throats. The Jiang family and Yin family clenched their fists. If he succeeded in his challenge…
Even Jiang Qianxue and Yin Tianzong wiped their cold sweat.
Li Tianxing’s family obviously came to embarrass them. If they lost a few more challenges, they would be completely looked down upon.
This was how these things worked. Everything was decided by your strength. Whoever won would get the reputation and honor.
Jiang Dongliu held his breath. No matter what, a close loss and a crushing defeat were two completely different things. It was understandable for them to lose to the Black and White-level Double Aristocrat Li Haokong. After all, there were only five almighty geniuses like him in the entire Milky Way. However, if they lost all the following matches, that would be a different matter.
Luckily, this challenge ended soon. After all, Yanbin was a Yellow and Green-level Double Honorary Aristocrat. Young Master Haokuo failed his challenge.
“Phew, that scared me. If we lost that, we would be in big trouble!”
“That’s right. Yellow and Green-level is no joke!”
“We’ll see the next round. I wonder if the next challenge will be successful. Sigh, I hope things don’t turn too brutal.”
On Li Tianxing’s side, everyone cheered on the second contestant.
“Young Master Jianzhong, let’s go. You must succeed!”
“That’s right! Choose well! Everything depends on you!”
“Then, let us welcome the second challenger!” The host announced, “Young Master Jianzhong, please select your opponent!”
Soon, the Young Master Jianzhong wearing an Orange and Gold coat walked into the arena. He looked at everyone’s videos. Then, his sights fell on one of them and said, “Him. I choose Young Master Xuefeng.”
The atmosphere became tense again.
Soon, the results were revealed. As expected, Young Master Jianzhong failed again!
Everyone on Li Tianxing’s side sighed. Both of them failed their challenges and used up all their opportunities for today.
“What a shame, the challenges all failed. The Yellow and Green level is impressive.”
“Hm, only that Hong Dali is left now. I wonder what he’s going to do.”
“Ya, God knows who he will choose. Eh, do you think he can win?”
“Are you kidding? Win? You think that’s possible?”
“Hahaha, true that.”
On the other side, in the Jiang family and Yin family’s area.
Everyone’s attention turned to Hong Dali. They wondered what changes the legendary prodigal could stir up.
“Then, let us welcome the final challenger.” The host looked towards Hong Dali’s direction. His eyes lit up. “Hong Dali!”
Silence.
The host yelled for a long time, but Hong Dali, who was sitting there with his bird, had no reaction!
“Let us welcome the final challenger.” The host was curious, but he shouted again, “Hong Dali!”
“Dali, Dali, it’s your turn!” Just then, the person sitting next to Hong Dali leaned over and poked him. “It’s your turn to pick your opponent!”
After Hong Dali was poked, he noticeably stretched his body and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. “Ah, it’s my turn? Since when was it my turn?”
After hearing Hong Dali’s words, the Jiang family and Yin family were completely stunned. Those on Li Tianxing’s side broke into thunderous laughter—
“Hahahaha, the superprodigal fell asleep! Do you see that? He’s drooling!”
“There’s nothing you can do about it. After all, he’s only eighteen. He must be scared~ Hahahahaha!”
“Aiya, this superprodigal is so interesting. He can even sleep here. How sleepy must he be?”
“I think only newborn babies are so lethargic. Haha, Hong Dali, are you still breastfeeding?!”
Everyone on Li Tianxing’s side mocked Hong Dali. The whole place turned into chaos.
In the end, Jiang Dongliu angrily slammed the table. “Silence. Silence!”
Everyone finally stopped talking once they realized Jiang Dongliu was angry. However, their expressions showed how tough it was for them to suppress their laughter.
“Dali.” Jiang Dongliu looked at Hong Dali. “It’s time for you to select your opponent. Come down.”
“Ah, it’s my turn to choose?” Hong Dali sleepily rubbed his eyes and did not get up. Instead, he swayed and tapped Acka’s head. “Acka, help me go and choose a random one. I won’t be going down…”
Jiang Dongliu broke down. “You… you’re seriously too lazy!”
When they saw the little gray featherless bird struggling to fly forward, everyone in the arena, whether they were from the Jiang family, the Yin family, or Li Tianxing’s crew, all broke into hysterical laughter.
Countless of them laughed till their backs could not straighten. The entire arena was covered in thunderous laughter. “Hahahahahahahaha—!!!”
Hong Dali sniffled. Soon, he was sleepy again. His breathing steadied. “Hu… hu…”
Jiang Dongliu did not know whether to cry or laugh. However, there was nothing he could do. Hong Dali’s words were binding. Soon, the dumb featherless bird flew directly into one of the Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrats’ videos.
“This Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrat is Young Master Peng Kun.” The host looked at the sleepy Hong Dali. He wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead. “Young Master Dali, are you sure?”
Hong Dali: “Hu… Hu…”
“Alright, now then.” The host could only hurriedly announce: “The challenger, Orange and Yellow-level Double Honorary Aristocrat, Young Master Dali. His target, Yellow and Green-level Double Honorary Aristocrat, Young Master Peng Kun.”
“Challenge start!”
Everyone extended their necks to get a clear view of the live feed. Although it was not as exciting as a real fight, the atmosphere was still intense. To be frank, it was like watching two martial art masters. The match could be decided within one round!
Ten seconds. Within ten seconds, the outcome of the match was decided!
“BUZZ—!!!” After an intense flash of lightning, the results were revealed. Everyone was completely stunned when they saw the outcome!
“The result is…” The host gulped, then yelled at the top of his lungs, “Young Master Dali, succeeded in his challenge! Young Master Dali won in this duel against Yellow and Green-level Double Honorary Aristocrat Young Master Peng Kun!”
As the host finished his announcement, the entire arena exploded!
The superprodigal Hong Dali, the Orange and Yellow-level Double Honorary Aristocrat, succeeded in his challenge against a Yellow and Green-level Double Honorary Aristocrat?!
“Oh my god, am I dreaming? He succeeded?! This… this… this must be fake, right?!”
“Fake, it must be fake. I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it! He’s a prodigal, how is this possible!”
“He must be cheating! How can he have such a high net profit rate?!”
The people on Li Tianxing’s side were in disbelief. However, this evaluation system was incredibly precise. Its degree of accuracy was ten digits after the decimal point. It was not an overstatement to claim that even if discrepancies were to exist, the affected amount would be less than 10,000.
“Dali, good job!” Jiang Qianxue cheered!
Until this point of the advancement assessment, the Jiang family and Yin family were at a severe disadvantage. Both in terms of the number of candidates qualified for challenges, as well as the number of candidates who succeeded. Li Tianxing’s side was dominating with a terrifying ratio of 3:1.
Now that Hong Dali was on the field, he easily scored a point for the Jiang family and Yin family!
“Hahahaha, good job, Dali!” Yin Tianzong slapped his thighs. “You need to screw them up, just like that!” He instantly covered his mouth afterward, as he felt the gazes from Li Tianxing’s side.
Jiang Dongliu beamed with delight. “Hm, this kid is not bad.”
“Young Master Dali succeeded in his challenge against Young Master Peng Kun!” The host hurriedly announced. “Next, we will wait for the martial arts challenge. If he succeeds in the martial arts challenge, then Young Master Dali will be promoted to become a Yellow and Green-level Honorary Aristocrat. Young Master Peng Kun will be demoted to an Orange and Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrat.”
This was a normal announcement. After the announcement, it was time for the Yellow and Green level battles.
However, things often changed drastically because of the tiniest adjustments. This was known as the “butterfly effect”.
It started out as a reasonable and simple action.
The Double Aristocrat sitting next to Hong Dali saw him succeed in his challenge. He wanted to show some good faith. Hence, after the announcement, he kindheartedly nudged Hong Dali. “Dali, wake up, you succeeded!”
If it was anyone else, they would have let it go. After all, this was for their own good.
However, Hong Dali had a severe flaw—he had a horrible temper after being woken up!
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Just as everyone quietened down to watch the next challenge, Hong Dali was woken up by the Double Aristocrat!
Not only did he wake up. He was angry!
Dali was angry, the consequences were dire!
“What are you doing! Can’t you let me sleep!” Hong Dali yelled, “It’s just a shitty advancement assessment. Is there a need to be so serious?! Why are you so free to challenge me? Are you forcing me to kick your asses? Come, come. come. How many people are left? I’ll take you all on at the same time. Then I can sleep!”
