On the final day of the tournament, Adonis and Mei Huan were unstoppable. They only needed one more match that evening to become the champions of the third arena. Once the first place was chosen, they could then face off against the reigning champion.

The previous champion was a Ghost-Faced Smoke, an extremely rare psychic-type pet beast. Like the previous Silver Water Bird, it was a unique pet beast of the Saiya Empire.

Ghostface Smoke is a Psychic/Dark-type Pokémon. Its body appears to be composed of smoke, capable of forming various shapes and sizes, making it difficult for enemies to detect. Ghostface Smoke can use its special abilities to interfere with other Pokémon's perception and judgment, causing them confusion.

Most importantly, Ghost Smoke is the nemesis of psychic-type pets.

Psychic-type pets primarily rely on light and dark elements to use skills, most of which are mental attacks. But Ghostface Smoke has no body and no brain!

It's just a cloud of smoke; you can't find its body at all. Moreover, its smoky body is made of dark element, which makes it absorb and use dark element with ease, making it more compatible with dark element than any other super-powered pet (except for super-level pets).

It's not without reason that the strongest super-fantasy could lose.

However, apart from defeating the strongest super illusion on his first appearance, Ghost Face Smoke's Beastmaster never appeared again. Ghost Face Smoke always fought alone and won every match!

Cheng Huaijin carefully considered his options before offering his opinion: "How about we stop competing? We've played enough for now."

Adonis disagreed: "We've fought this far, we definitely have to keep going! Besides, Meihuan has improved her strength rapidly after so many battles—we're very confident!"

He nudged Cheng Huaijin's arm: "Don't be discouraged. It's amazing that Little Iron Tiger has won 20 times at such a young age!"

Cheng Huaijin was speechless: "Did I advise you not to participate for this reason? Think about it carefully, don't you find it strange?"

“What’s so strange about that? We are late bloomers…” Adonis said, then suddenly fell silent.

Cheng Huaijin followed his gaze and saw Mr. Zhao Yu, Adonis's agent.

"Hello Mr. Zhao, you two chat..." Cheng Huaijin gave an awkward laugh and prepared to slip away.

Mr. Zhao's glasses reflected a beam of light as he smiled and grabbed Cheng Huaijin's collar, saying, "Hello, Miss Cheng, don't rush off. Let me treat you to a cup of tea."

Inside a private room at the hotel restaurant.

Adonis explained for a long time without daring to drink a drop of water: "...In short, that's it. I didn't mean to lie to you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Meihuan and I really wanted to come, and we don't know if there will be another chance..."

Zhao Yu raised his eyes, his dark pupils deep and silent: "Don't think about it anymore, there won't be a next time."

"Huh?" Adonis opened his mouth, looking confused.

This is so stupid it's unbearable to watch... Cheng Huaijin's filter for Adonis's handsomeness has shattered. She asked, "Did someone deliberately send Mei Huan to challenge for the title?"

Zhao Yu nodded, his tone warm and friendly towards Cheng Huaijin, but when he looked at Adonis, he was filled with disappointment: "Can't you use your pig brain a little more? Do you really think that awakening the bloodline of a mythical beast in the game will turn you into a war god?"

Cheng Huaijin and Adonis exchanged a surprised glance.

Cheng Huaijin was alright; she had actually been wondering why Adonis had disappeared for a month without the company inquiring about it. Sure enough, this agent knew everything; it seemed he was the one helping to cover up the whole affair.

Adonis was completely shocked. He thought he had hidden it well. Zhao Yu had even readily agreed to his leave request, and he had remarked to Mei Huan that his acting skills had improved considerably over the years...

Zhao Yu shook his head helplessly: "You... forget it. You can't win the last match tonight."

Cheng Huaijin lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Adonis's eyebrows shot up, his golden eyes filled with anxiety: "Why?! We were just one step away from the goal!"

Zhao Yu pressed his head down, making him sit up straight, then turned to Cheng Huaijin with a gentle smile: "Miss Cheng, would you be willing to do it for me?"

"Me?" Cheng Huaijin smiled gently as well.

"Her?!" Adonis's eyes widened.

Zhao Yu's smile was gentle, but his eyes were cold: "Miss Cheng, if it weren't for you, Ah Hun wouldn't have come to participate in the competition."

...Wow, thinking about it now, it's true. Cheng Huaijin recalled that if she hadn't found a way to awaken Meihuan's magical beast bloodline, Adonis and Meihuan wouldn't have rushed to participate in the arena competition.

Wait, something's not right!!!

Cheng Huaijin realized what was happening. She raised an eyebrow, her eyes scrutinizing her: "That's not quite right. Ah Hun paid me to train Meihuan for him; we settled the matter amicably. How did it become my responsibility in Mr. Zhao's eyes?"

Zhao Yu took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose, and smiled, "Miss Cheng, you've misunderstood me. I was asking you to help Ah Hun again."

Adonis sat between the two, looking at Zhao Yu and then at Cheng Huaijin, wanting to open his mouth several times but then obediently closing it, scratching his ears and cheeks in frustration.

"Huanhuan!" He simply summoned Meihuan and had her sit in front, facing Cheng Huaijin and Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu sighed, "Alright, then I'll tell you everything I've found out, and you can judge for yourselves."
