The representatives of the Garden of Eden had come across the Blue Winged Bone Dragon soon after Augus woke up. Thus, they decided to battle it and eventually managed to obtain their first holy grail in this competition.
Just as the three of them were about to leave, they came across Qing Zhi and the others who had just hurried over. This caused the representatives of the Garden of Eden to feel a bit surprised.
You guys are late~
Shirley grinned smugly.
After lying low for so long, they were finally able to regain their confidence following Augus’ awakening. Now, they were ready to give it their all to catch up to the other forces.
By the looks of it, the Hall of Creation has no hope of winning anymore,
Augus remarked softly.
Only the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Kingdom can compete with us now. Now that the representatives from the Buddhist Kingdom have delivered themselves over, it makes things easier for us.
Hearing Augus’ remarks, Hong Dou and Dong Yan were both irked. Just as they were about to let loose a torrent of abuse, they found that Qing Zhi and Qing Xin had already started to retreat and flee…
Holy fck! Do you guys feel no shame fleeing so quickly?!
Seeing the representatives of the Buddhist Kingdom escape, Hong Dou wailed in grief.
My apologies. The holy grail has already been snatched, and the Garden of Eden is attempting to eliminate this young monk. We must go ahead and strategically retreat first!
Qing Zhi shouted this as he ran, and he paid no attention to his image.
However, this made a lot of sense. After all, if they still fretted over their image and stayed back to chatter some more, then they definitely wouldn’t be able to escape.
Stop them!
Augus, Shirley, and Arthur flapped their wings and became streaks of white as they dashed after the two monks.
Watching their disappearing figures, Hong Dou and Dong Yan fell deep into thought.
Hong Dou was burning with rage.
Sht, we’ve been completely ignored! Quit looking down on us!
During the entire exchange, the three representatives from the Garden of Eden never looked at them even once. Such contemptuous attitude made Hong Dou explode in anger.
Meanwhile, Dong Yan didn’t appear very enraged. Rather, she exhaled dejectedly.
I’ve done some calculations,
Dong Yan said slowly.
Right now, we’re sitting at a total of 70.2 points. The Heavenly Court has the highest total at 76.7 points. At present, there are still two iron holy grails and one golden holy grail remaining in the Zhong Long mountain ranges. Which is to say… We can only come first if we obtain all the remaining holy grails…
Hong Dou grimaced. He felt that the future was bleak and full of hardships. That was basically an impossible task to complete. It was little wonder that Augus had said they had no hope of winning anymore.
However, he was still unwilling to give up. If the heavens wanted to crush him, then he would defy the heavens!
Humph! Since that’s the case, then we’ll snatch all the remaining holy grails!
Hong Dou’s angry remark was more so of a pump up for himself rather than a comment toward Dong Yan.
Congratulations! Heavenly Court has received one point!
A sound once again reverberated from the skies.
Dong Yan:
…
Hong Dou’s mouth gaped open, and his bloodthirsty eyes became dull and lifeless.
This competition… It’s over for us..
…
Inside some cave.
Arranged here was a spell formation that had its aura hidden.
Two monks were sitting on the ground and panting heavily.
A bitter smile emerged on Qing Xin’s face as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. In the beginning, he was worried that the bone dragon would force them to flee again. But now, it was even better. The bone dragon didn’t cause them to flee. Rather, they were forced to flee by three bird people…
After hearing that the Heavenly Court had received another point, the flying Augus, Arthur, and Shirley all let out a soft sigh.
Currently, the Garden of Eden was sitting on 74.2 points, and the Buddhist Kingdom was sitting on 74.1 points. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court now sat on 77.7 points. Right now, there was only one iron holy grail and one golden holy grail remaining in the Zhong Long mountain ranges. It was of no significance who obtained the iron holy grail because whichever force obtained the golden holy grail would become the force with the highest total score.
The iron holy grail is already meaningless to us,
Augus said.
Let’s focus on finding the golden holy grail.
However, Shirley was of a different opinion.
I reckon that the iron holy grail is still worth fighting for. At any rate, we should cement our place as second first~!
Meanwhile, the Hall of Creation’s Hong Dou and Dong Yan were also in a conversation.
Dong Yan, even though it’s impossible for us to come first now, we can’t finish this battle for the holy grails on zero points. Perhaps we’re not strong enough to compete for the golden holy grail. However, it’s possible for us to obtain an iron holy grail and make our results look slightly better.
It would be stupid to be fooled by Hong Dou’s short temper and recklessness. When push came to shove, his unyielding and unwavering resolution was really quite touching.
Dong Yan nodded emphatically, clearly moved by Hong Dou’s words.
Yeah! Even though we can’t compete for first place, we can still put in a good performance and display the strength of our Hall of Creation!
Just like that, Hong Dou and Dong Yan recovered from their low spirits. They pulled themselves together and started to search for the last iron holy grail.
However, only a short while had passed before a voice once again reverberated from the skies.
Congratulations! Heavenly Court has received one point!
Hong Dou:
…
Dong Yan:
…
Hong Dou’s body swayed. The flame burning in front of his chest flickered dimly and almost extinguished. He was stunned speechless.
After finally lifting her spirits, Dong Yan was instantly plunged into dejection and despair by this announcement. Dong Yan could only look up toward the sky and lament,
The Heavenly Court is so ruthless…
Somewhere amidst the Zhong Long mountain ranges, a raging fire was burning. Nearby, a tree person of one hundred feet tall collapsed on the floor. Its life force had completely disappeared already.
Liu Qianhuan was smiling broadly as she played with the holy grails on the floor. She was triumphant and excited, and it was as if she was showing off her favorite toy.
There were four iron holy grails and one silver holy grail…
Haha, we’re going to come second at the very least now! Say, we might be able to come first even if we lay down and take a nap here!
As if a huge weight had been taken off his shoulders, An Lin appeared relaxed and carefree.
Right now, there was only one golden holy grail left. Compared to the difficulty of obtaining a silver holy grail, the difficulty of obtaining this golden holy grail was definitely on another level. Perhaps the representatives of the other forces would all be eliminated by the powerful war demon when they tried to snatch this golden holy grail. The probability of this happening was definitely very high.
Thus, the Heavenly Court was under the least pressure out of the four forces.
Of course, it could be argued that the Hall of Creation was also under very little pressure. After all, there was already no hope left for them…
Student An Lin, don’t be too conceited. We should ride on this momentum and try to obtain the golden holy grail without let-up. Only in such a way can we display the power and might of the Heavenly Court!
An Lin nodded at this. In fact, he also wanted to see what the golden holy grail looked like. After all, it was worth five points. This was already the combined worth of all the iron holy grails.
If the war demons guarding the five iron holy grails all gathered together, they would’ve been able to crush any single one of our four powers
, An Lin thought to himself. In fact, even if our four powers combined forces, we still wouldn’t be able to defeat those war demons.
Then… How freakishly hard is it to obtain this golden holy grail? I can’t wait to see.
Compared to An Lin’s eager anticipation, the representatives of the Garden of Eden and the Buddhist Kingdom were all feeling nervous and under immense pressure. Their only option right now was to obtain the golden holy grail. Thus, all they could do right now was to search for it with burning impatience.
Liu Qianhuan, who was investigating the holy grails, suddenly sucked in a deep breath. She picked up a stick and started scribbling and drawing on the ground.
An Lin was a bit puzzled.
What are you drawing?
A summoning spell formation,
Liu Qianhuan replied absent-mindedly.
What are you summoning?
The golden holy grail.
