Chapter 256: Chapter 242: Rookie Tournament (21)
Jiang Die’s lackeys had fallen silent.
No matter what they said, Zhao Chi could argue more persuasively and more loudly.
There hadn’t been many people on this battlefield, but now everyone was looking over.
Zhao Chi was thoroughly enjoying his tirade, spittle flying onto Jiang Die’s face.
Jiang Die wiped her face, stunned, and looked at Zhao Chi in disbelief. "Zhao Chi, do you really not know the status of my Jiang Family?"
Zhao Chi said, "I do. My defeated opponents."
Jiang Die frowned. "Defeated opponents? When have we ever lost to you?"
Zhao Chi grinned. "In a few dozen minutes."
Jiang Die was speechless with anger. "...Fine, fine, fine, Zhao Chi. I think we should do more than just compete in a bit. I think we should sign a duel contract. Weren’t you just trying to sign one with my subordinate? Don’t sign with him, sign with me. Or do you only dare to bully the weak?"
Zhao Chi snorted. "Of course not. I agree to sign with you, but your lackeys aren’t getting away either. Every last one of them will sign! We still have an hour. Let’s go sign the contract right now!"
Jiang Die’s subordinates were clearly intimidated.
They didn’t dare respond.
But Jiang Die just chuckled lightly. "Alright. But you have to fight me first."
She accepted readily.
Lu Yi was a little worried. "Zhao Chi, be careful. This Jiang Die is strange, and her fighting style is strange, too. She might have some Skills she hasn’t used yet. Please don’t be reckless."
Jiang Die laughed. "Lu Yi, I’m talking to Zhao Chi right now. What does this have to do with you? Or are you two a shameless couple or something?"
Lu Yi didn’t expect her to say something like that.
Before Lu Yi could react, Jiang Die added, "You should worry about yourself. As for Zhao Chi... do you really dare to sign? I heard you’ve sided with a noble. You’re not going to sign this contract and then use that noble to pressure me, are you?"
Lu Yi said, "Hasn’t your family sided with an Alien Race? Are you going to use an Alien Race to pressure Zhao Chi?"
"Tch," Jiang Die said disdainfully. "We’ll just add a clause to the agreement. That’s what I was getting at anyway. But we can’t sign now. I have other things to do."
"What? Scared?" Zhao Chi asked.
"Heh, my Jiang Family has never been scared of anything. I just have something to attend to. Alright, I’m leaving. Do as you please."
With that, Jiang Die turned and walked away.
Her lackeys each shot Zhao Chi a glare before quickly following her.
Zhao Chi saw Wei Li.
It was Wei Li, the Ghoul leader he had encountered in the third round of combat.
She had filed a complaint against Zhao Chi for cheating, but after an inspection, it was determined that he had not cheated.
’So she couldn’t accept it and has teamed up with Jiang Die?’
’It’s likely that just as I sought out Lu Yi, Jiang Die needed to find someone who had fought me head-on to understand the situation.’
’That’s perfectly normal.’
Lu Yi was still a little worried. "Zhao Chi, your strength is indeed formidable now, but I have a bad feeling. That Jiang Die must be hiding a lot of her true strength. I’m too weak to test her Abilities, but you must be extremely careful. Try not to duel if you can..."
Lu Yi was what you’d call an ordinary woman.
Not in terms of appearance; her appearance was anything but ordinary.
But her strength was ordinary.
Although she had her family’s support, she only excelled in theoretical knowledge. Her practical combat ability was rather mediocre.
However, for a woman to possess both beauty and a wealthy family was already extremely fortunate.
She knew her combat skills were average, so she simply worked hard to practice without ever complaining.
Though her abilities were lacking, she was a good person.
When Zhao Chi had amnesia before, Li Ruanyu asked Lu Yi to help tutor him, and Lu Yi never refused.
She had genuinely guided him with care.
She was also one of Zhao Chi’s few friends.
Zhao Chi knew her concern was genuine.
He nodded. "Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing."
Zhao Chi was not reckless.
On the contrary, he was very cautious.
But after some analysis, he had concluded that Jiang Die was not his match.
’My Peach Blossom Human Race may be a Human Race, but it’s not a true Human Race anymore.’
’They possess the powerful Constitution and Power of a Beastman, and the Agility and Perception of an Elf.’
’Their combined Attributes reach 24 points.’
’You could say they have no weaknesses in their Attributes.’
’This alone is something no one else can achieve.’
’Unless they have an extremely valuable Rare Race.’
’But Jiang Die’s Race is Elf.’
’So, in terms of Constitution and Power, the Peach Blossom Human Race has a natural advantage.’
’Beyond that, the Peach Blossom Human Race has four Modifications: Fearless, Soft Body, Bone Gathering Resurrection, and Night Vision.’
’Each one is a Modification worth a fortune.’
’Among them, Bone Gathering Resurrection has a 0% compatibility match, making it an impossible Modification for others to succeed in acquiring.’
’You could say it’s a Modification that can’t be successfully acquired even for ten thousand or a hundred thousand gold.’
’Night Vision and Soft Body are both very practical Modifications.’
’And Fearless allows the Peach Blossom Human Race to maintain their Combat Power at all times.’
’Honestly, forget commoner families, even nobles would find it difficult to obtain all of these racial Modifications.’
’So how could Jiang Die, who is also just a New Lord, possibly compare?’
’Jiang Die might have excellent Spiritual Techniques that make her a top contender among Lords of the same Level, but... that’s it.’
That was why Zhao Chi had come to participate in this competition; his goal was the championship.
And this was despite the restrictions on Gu Qing’s Skills and the fact that he could only field 50 people.
On the other hand.
’Given Jiang Die’s arrogance...’
’If she were truly confident in defeating me, she would have agreed to sign the contract immediately.’
’But she didn’t. Instead, she made an excuse about having something to do and left for now.’
’She’s probably seen my previous matches and isn’t so sure of herself.’
’After all, my Female Soldiers were able to fight Ghouls and Tiger Men head-on.’
’And win.’
’So Jiang Die is all talk. She doesn’t dare sign the contract right now either.’
