Four people at once?!
Chou Qi’s eyebrows frowned. He did not completely understand why Fang Zhengzhi said this.
However, for some reason, he felt that there was a huge trap in this plan that he did not spot.
Four people…
Could it be that Fang Zhengzhi was trying to put all the
talents
in one round and put a mixture of people in another round, hence deciding the outcome with one round?
This was highly probable as both the Human Alliance and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were not kind people. If Fang Zhengzhi killed all of the four Godly State experts in one match, it did not matter even if he lost the two other rounds.


After all, the so-called
agreement
was useless if all of the Godly State experts had died as the threat they had brought about would have been eliminated. How hilarious it would be for them to talk about credibility at that point in time?
Wait a minute!
If that was what Fang Zhengzhi had planned, he should have changed his term to five people instead so as to allow him to kill everyone at one go.
Why was it four?
Thoughts ran through Chou Qi’s mind very quickly. It was not two, not three nor five but rather four. There was definitely some
evil plot
in this.
Could it be coincidental?
Chou Qi did not believe in coincidences.
Moreover, the real Chou Qi has already died, the current Chou Qi was none other than the only bloodline left of the Nangong Nobles, Nangong Mu.
A person who understood Fang Zhengzhi as though he was like his brother.
Nangong Mu knew very well that although Fang Zhengzhi looked shameless and clumsy, he was definitely meticulous when doing serious things.


There was definitely something wrong with having four people.
Nangong Mu was making rapid speculations. If the rules demanded two people in one match, he would have easily allocated two Godly State experts in one group and he would go with another monster king in the last group.
He had full confidence in winning the three rounds.
What about the arrangement of three people?
He would allocate Three Godly State experts in one group while the second group would comprise of himself, another Godly State expert and another Monster King. This would still ensure his win as he only had to win two of the three rounds.
However, what about four?
Nangong Mu frowned again.
Although four people in a group seemed easier for planning purposes, in reality, there were too many uncertainties as compared to two, three or five.
Too many possible combinations.
It could be four Godly State Experts in one group and Nangong Hao with three Monster Kings in another. Similarly, it could be two plus two or three plus one.



What exactly is the problem?!
Nangong Mu initially thought this martial arts competition would be very easy for him as he had the absolute say.
Four Godly State experts, himself and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race, nothing would go wrong with this powerful force.
However…
Now he was in a dilemma.
The reason was purely because Fang Zhengzhi brought up a plan that was seemingly more advantageous for himself, each party must send out four people in a match.
Strange, this was way too strange.

If it is four…
At this moment, Yun Qingwu who was silent all along suddenly spoke.

So you have been thinking about this question too?
Fang Zhengzhi turned around gradually and smiled.

…
Yun Qingwu’s lips moved. She turned towards Fang Zhengzhi before turning to Chou Qi and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race, then, she shook her head and said,
Rest assured, I know that I am a slave.


If I said I don’t mind you participating in this martial arts competition, would you believe me?
Fang Zhengzhi smiled even brighter, he definitely would not have forgotten about Yun Qingwu.


However, like what he had said, he did not mind Yun Qingwu speaking or giving Chou Qi hints on how to allocate manpower.

You don’t mind?
Yun Qingwu was slightly shocked before she smiled bitterly.
Indeed, even if I had said it, it would not make much of a difference.


I mind. Shameless brat, do you need me to hit her so she faints? You can rest assured and let me do it!
Although Ping Yang did not understand what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking about, she knew very well how terrifying Yun Qingwu was in terms of her schemes.
As the saying went, stifling everything in the cradle.
Ping Yang was like that.
After all, to Ping Yang, Yun Qingwu was way too cunning, it would have been a disaster if Yun Qingwu saw through Fang Zhengzhi’s plans.
This was Ping Yang’s thoughts. one can never be too careful.
Therefore, she did not mind hitting Yun Qingwu so that she fainted.

…
Yun Qingwu’s expression changed and she was about to say something but eventually kept quiet and did not resist.

No, it’s alright, let her say if she wants to. I said I don’t mind.
Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.



What gave you the confidence?
Ping Yang was extremely confused as the current situation definitely would result in their loss.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was still fully confident.
He was not even afraid of Yun Qingwu exposing his plans, he was so confident that he was a little
frenzied
and she could not stand it.
Apart from Ping Yang, Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi, and the disciples of the Human Alliance all looked at each other, wondering where Fang Zhengzhi got his confidence from.
They must send out four people for one match, they will definitely die!

Fang Zhengzhi, are you really confident?
Mu Qingfeng was really desperate but still asked him carefully.

Of course!
Fang Zhengzhi said with confidence.

How much confidence do you have? 30 percent?


No, 100 percent!


100 percent?!

Not only was Mu Qingfeng so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out, the Godly State experts and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race also could not take it.

100 percent of confidence?!


He said he was 100 percent confident? Did he mean that he was 100 percent confident that he will lose?


How ridiculous!


He had to send four people in one match and still said he had 100 percent confidence of winning, he must be dreaming!

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race began to laugh and looked at Fang Zhengzhi as though he was a fool. After all, how could he not be a fool if he was so confident in such a situation?
However, Fang Zhengzhi clearly did not mind the sneering of the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race. In fact, he was also laughing and laughing even louder than the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race.
Then, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race stopped laughing.
That was because they realize that nobody was as thick-skinned as Fang Zhengzhi.

Chou Qi, let’s start, who are you sending to face death for the first round?
Fang Zhengzhi asked Nangong Mu after laughing.

You mean that I can choose first?
Nangong Mu who was frowning initially looked up.

Visitors are guests. Since we arrived first, we are the owners and you are the guests. We should definitely let you go first.
Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

I am definitely not as shameless as you but you seemed to have neglected a problem. I am the one initiating this competition. What if I don’t agree to choose first?
Nangong Mu shook his head.

Then we will have to draw lots,
said Fang Zhengzhi.

Draw lots?


Yes, I will write take two pieces of paper and write ‘first’ on one and ‘second’ on the other. Whoever who drew the paper with the word ‘first’ would go first. It is extremely fair and nobody can cheat their way through,
said Fang Zhengzhi.

Alright, we shall follow what you said, let’s draw lots.
Hearing this, Nangong Mu paused and stared at Fang Zhengzhi before nodding his head.
Fang Zhengzhi laughed extremely happily.
After hearing this, Ping Yang gave a look of confusion but that look of confusion soon changed into a smile.

What do you think this guy is planning to do?
Ping Yang went towards Yan Xiu and asked softly.

No.
Yan Xiu shook his head.

Hmph, you don’t know?
Ping Yang clearly could not believe it but she did not prove further. Instead, she turned to Wu Yuer who was standing nearby and said,
Wu Yuer, how about let’s take a bet?


How so?
Wu Yuer who was behind the Heavenly Oasis Saint walked out with her chest lifted and went to Ping Yang.
Ping Yang’s face turned black immediately.
However, she endured it and did not
pinpoint
at Wu Yuer’s actions. Instead, she quickly whispered into Wu Yuer’s ears.

You want to bet about this?
Wu Yuer asked after hearing what Ping Yang said.

Yes, are you daring to take a gamble?
Ping Yang said confidently.

There’s nothing I am afraid of!


Alright, I am going to bet with… with… the blazing soft armor on me. This is the best treasure in the Ling Yun Tower, what do you think?
Ping Yang pointed at one of the soft armor in her clothes after consideration.

Blazing soft armor? I am not interested in this. I only want 10,000 teals of Gold.
Wu Yuer took a glance at the soft armor that Ping Yang was wearing and shook her head.
As the sect leader of the Shadow Sect Leader, she knew that this blazing soft armor was a priceless treasure.
However, it was precisely because she knew the price, she also knew that even if she won Ping Yang, she would probably not get hold of the blazing soft armor as Qian Yu was not a person who could be fooled around with.
Judging from Qian Yu’s character, she would definitely not allow the soft armor to fall into other people’s hands.
Even if Ping Yang won the bet.
Therefore, she would rather get something more practical as after all, no matter how demanding Qian Yu was, she would not demand 10,000 ounces of gold to be returned to her.

10,000 ounces of gold? You really can’t appreciate the soft armor. Alright, I will bet with 10,000 ounces of gold, what do you want to bet with?
Ping Yang was slightly annoyed.

I will bet with the ‘Fallen Rain Pavilion’ in the Flame Capital City,
said Wu Yuer after giving it some thoughts.

Sure, if you lose, the Fallen Rain Pavilion would belong to me, including the people of the pavilion!
Ping Yang was not overly concerned about what she was betting with Wu Yuer as she was only interested in winning. Therefore, what she won did not really matter to her.

Of course.
Wu Yuer nodded as it was undeniable.
Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi had finished writing the words on the two slips of paper and held one on each of his hands. He walked slowly towards Nangong Mu and opened his hands, allowing Nangong Mu to take his pick.
Nangong Mu did not hesitate.
He reached out his right hand and took the paper on Fang Zhengzhi’s right hand. Everything looked extremely smooth.
Nothing went wrong.
However, when the paper was handed over to Nangong Mu, something strange happened.
That was because Nangong Mu swallowed the paper without even taking a look at it.

…


…

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race and the disciples of the Human Alliance, as well as the confident Ping Yang, widened their eyes.

He swallowed it?!


Chou Qi swallowed the paper he drew?!


What is he trying to do?


Oh no, could it be…

The disciples of the Human Alliance could not react for a moment but their expressions changed completely and looked extremely ugly.
After the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were stunned for a moment, they managed to regain their senses.

Haha, I see!


Sir Chou Qi is indeed brilliant!


Taking action first, Fang Zhengzhi is doomed now!

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race began smiling and mocked the stunned Fang Zhengzhi.
Ping Yang, on the other hand, was stunned and stood rooted to the spot.
That was because she and Wu Yuer had bet that Fang Zhengzhi had written
first
on both of the strips of paper. After all, that would fit Fang Zhengzhi’s shameless personality.
If he had written
first
on both pieces of paper, no matter what Chou Qi drew, the result would be the same and Chou Qi had to go first.
But now…
The paper was swallowed by Chou Qi.
What next?

You have lost.
Nangong Mu took a small step back after swallowing the paper and signaled Fang Zhengzhi to open the paper in his hand.

I didn’t know that you have this hobby. Is the paper… yummy?
After a long pause, Fang Zhengzhi finally reacted and looked at Chou Qi with a confused look.

Open it.
Nangong Mu did not answer Fang Zhengzhi directly.

It’s alright, you can take a look at it.
Fang Zhengzhi sighed as he shook his head. Then, he tossed the paper in his left hand to Nangong Mu.
Then, he turned and walked away.
Nangong Mu was surprised at how Fang Zhengzhi turned and left but he still opened the paper in his hand quickly. When he opened the paper, he froze.
A gigantic
second
word was written on the paper.
