Chapter 317 - The Battle Was About to Begin!
Chapter 317: The Battle Was About to Begin!
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Ever since Victor met Wei Heng, the latter had completely followed Victor’s instructions and held a grand auction.
As a well-known expert in the Central Plains who had also married many people’s dream lovers, some naturally many people had chosen to participate in this auction.
On one hand, they could exchange their unused items for spirit stones. On the other hand, they could also confirm whether Wei Heng, this old fogey, was really on the verge of death.
In short, with the release of the news, it was already enough to attract many people to White Dragon City and wait for the start of the auction.
As for Victor, he was busy sorting out the list, arranging the venue and decorations.
Naturally, Victor boasted that everything would be handled by them. Naturally, he could not let Wei Heng’s reputation be damaged.
Moreover, they could use 100,000 spirit stones as capital, killing two birds with one stone.
However, these facts were a headache for Victor, so he decided to arrange Tie Zhan, Feng Sidao, and Ren Pingsheng to cooperate with Zhang Huang and Wei Zihan.
As for him, he would have to deal with Wei Baishou and the others to decide on the opponent and the time of battle.
Luckily, in the first round of drawing lots, Victor’s opponent was against the three brothers. Although their forces were not weak, they still could not put up a front in front of Victor. Amongst the three, only one cultivator had decent strength, the others had individual strength that was basically inferior to Victor’s camp, Tie Zhan, Ren Pingsheng, and Feng Sidao.
As for Wei Baishou and Wei Baizhuo, the two of them would begin their first battle on the first battle of the first day.
Victor was the only person from Wei Zihan’s faction who came to watch this battle. The goal was to find out their true strength and take countermeasures.
However, their battle was dull and tasteless, causing Victor to almost fall asleep a few times.
They were clearly core formation realm cultivators, but when they fought, it was still the same.
First, they fought hand-to-hand, then they fought with spells.
Couldn’t they do it at the same time?
Victor curled his lips in a modest yet boastful manner and left the arena.
Regarding their strength, Victor already had a rough idea.
Whether it was Wei Baizhuo or Wei Baishou, they both had a nascent soul realm cultivator beside them as their bodyguard. As for the contestants, they all had the cultivation at the completion stage of the core formation realm, so it could be considered reasonable.
However, in terms of combat strength, Wei Baishou’s subordinates were more ruthless, and their attacks were lethal. On the other hand, Wei Baizhuo was much calmer. He used defense as an attack and fought steadily.
Generally speaking, Feng Sidao, Ren Pingsheng, and Tie Zhan were better than them.
With a secured victory in the business segment and no difficulties in the battles, now, they only needed to wait. When everything was over, Victor would be able to get the Thousand-year Mystic Ice to temper his body again!
Thinking of this, Victor’s mood was extremely happy.
Returning to Wei Zihan’s manor, Victor laughed lightly at the simple and gloomy faces of the crowd. He said, “Stupid, you can just pay some spirit stones and send someone to settle this matter. Wang Hu!”
“Young master.”
“Go to the city and find some smart people. Each person will receive ten spirit stones a day. The limit is 30 people on a first-come, first-served basis.”
“Yes, young master.”
These few days, Wang Hu followed beside Victor. From time to time, Victor would give him some medicinal pills that were unusable to him. Now, he had already broken through from the first stage of the spiritual pedestal realm to the third stage of the spiritual pedestal realm. His progress was rapid!
Regarding this, Wang Hu’s attitude toward Victor could not be more respectful. He did not dare to be the slightest bit arrogant.
“Young master, you’re back. How’s the situation? Who are we facing?”
“It’s the three brothers. The battle will be held tomorrow. Don’t worry. I’ve already observed them. With your strength, it’s enough.”
Victor did not plan to fight the three brothers. Instead, he let Tie Zhan, Ren Pingsheng, and Feng Sidao finish them off.
Leaving a trump card was always a layer of protection.
Soon, the first day of the competition ended. Wei Baizuo was temporarily at a disadvantage. Wei Baishou won four out of five battles and was the victor.
In the blink of an eye, it was the second day.
It was Wei Zihan’s turn to fight the three brothers.
When it was just past midnight, Wei Zihan had already prepared breakfast for Victor and the others.
Other than Victor, everyone else was very touched. They thought that Wei Zihan had truly treated them as his confidants.
As for Victor…
Sorry, this was also what Victor had taught Wei Zihan.
There were only a few methods to control one’s subordinates. They were benefits and kindness.
The typical example of benefits was Wei Baishou and the others’ subordinates. For the sake of benefits, they joined Wei Baishou. As long as he gave enough, they would be the most loyal subordinates.
Kindness was like Chang An and Wei Heng. The latter did a huge favor for the former, so Chang An was willing to stay in White Dragon City.
Of course, the second method was more loyal, but Wei Zihan did not have the time.
Money touched people’s hearts the most. No matter where one went, it was the truth.
Although Wei Zihan did not have money now, she could use her actions to make others more loyal, just like now.
After breakfast, Wei Zihan and the others arrived at the ring early and wanted.
Except for Victor.
He had not had a good rest for the past few days, so after breakfast, he went back to his room to catch up on sleep.
However, looking at Lian Hua sprawled on the bed, Victor pursed his lips. With a thought, he threw the woman into the Small World.
“Sword spirit, call me in two hours.”
“Get lost! What do you take me for, id?”
The sword spirit in his body rejected Victor impatiently, which made him very helpless.
“If you don’t call me, I won’t help you anymore.”
“Bullsh*t, all this time, I’ve been the one helping you!”
“If it weren’t for me, you would still be in the Eastern Plains.”
The two of them actually started to stir up old grudges, and in the end, the sword spirit took the initiative to admit defeat and agreed to wake Victor up.
At the same time, the three brothers also came to the arena. Seeing that Victor was nowhere to be seen, they were slightly puzzled.
“Little sister, why are there only five of you? Don’t tell me that little sister is also participating?”
“I think it’s possible. Maybe that person has already run away!”
“Little sister, as your fifth brother, I’d suggest you quit. You’ll only get them injured.”
The attitude of the triplets was evident in front of We Zihan. Wei Zihan’s performance was neither servile nor overbearing. She said coldly, “I don’t need to trouble my brothers to worry about that.
“However, there are so many people here. I hope that my brothers won’t look too bad after they lose!”
“Hehe, I’d say the same to you. Dear little sister, you are too naive. Do you think that he alone can let you win the city lord’s position? It’s ridiculous!”
“Whether it’s ridiculous or not, we will only know after we try.”
“That’s good too. In that case, we will be the first to fight in the first round. I don’t want my little sister to say that we don’t know how to cherish the fairer sex!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the three brothers once again burst into laughter.
However, this time, Wei Zihan did not choose to be quick with her words. Instead, she wanted to use facts to prove everything!
