"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
"It really is a small powerhouse." Yang Qinglan nodded with a smile to confirm.
"Small?" Li Changzhou turned to look at her, reaching his hands towards her waist.
Before she could even place her hand on him, Yang Qinglan felt her body start to itch. She quickly laughed and said, "Big brother, you big brother! Stop it, don't cheat, okay? You know I'm just going along with your sister's words!"
"I don't care, you're slandering me anyway." Li Changzhou chuckled and placed his hands on her slender waist, his face almost touching her hair.
"Hey! Hey!" Yaochi's slender hand gripped Li Changzhou's shoulder.
“We’re still here!” Li Qianxia “rescued” Yang Qinglan from Li Changzhou’s grasp, and then she hugged Yang Qinglan’s beautiful, soft and fragrant body.
"Watch the match, the second game has started!" Yang Qinglan struggled to push away Li Qianxia, who was muttering "Qinglan, you smell so good" while sniffing her neck.
Fortunately, the venue has the function of "if you don't want others to see it, others won't see it".
The audience also shifted their attention from the battle between Li Changzhou and Yake to the second match.
In the second match, someone broke through to the second level of divine intent, but in terms of sheer scale, it was far inferior to the first match.
“These people know each other very well,” Yaochi said after observing for a while.
"If you can get first place in the clan, you're basically already famous. Even if you weren't famous before, other races would gather information about you during the clan selection competition," Yang Qinglan said.
“Only my brother,” Li Qianxia said, buying Li Changzhou’s support badge from the vending robot, “has never been famous before, and he even used [Divine Will Crystal] in the race’s selection competition... Isn’t it good-looking?”
She wore the badge on her chest; it depicted Li Changzhou standing on the eighteen levels of hell, wearing a black trench coat, looking like some kind of villain.
"It can still move." Li Changzhou glanced at it.
Like the newspapers in Harry Potter, it's unclear whether it's based on technology or some kind of divine will.
Five hundred people, divided into 250 groups, some fast, some slow, fought continuously for four days and four nights.
"That 'Jacques' is amazing, he took down his opponent in one move," Li Qianxia said admiringly.
'Alien Jac', whose pronunciation is the same as 'Lingzu Jac' in Earth's Xia language, is also a hot favorite, even though he ranks over 300th in the second round.
Under the leadership of the 'Parsec' family, during the conquest of Divine Will Star, most races surrendered at the mere sight of them, while a minority resisted Divine Will Star to the very end.
Of all the resisters, only the race to which 'Jacques' belonged was called 'the alien race' because they resisted for a considerable period of time.
There was even a saying at the time that "it is impossible to conquer without the intervention of a sage".
But they ultimately failed because the Protoss joined the Wall of Gods.
After their defeat, the "Alien Race" retained the title of "Alien Race," considering it a symbol of honor and power.
“Besides this Jacques, there’s also the Crystal Clan,” Yaochi recalled.
"The Crystal Clan possesses 'super-distance touch,' enabling them to see through the essence of things at a glance. Based on the information they gather, a crystal can discern with a single look whether it is a gas that can be passed through or a poisonous gas that cannot be touched; whether a liquid is drinkable or poisonous; whether the ground is traversable or sinkable; and whether a cliff is climbable or not—in short, this race can see through the essence of your divine will at a glance."
"The Mechanical Race, the Spider Race, the Ghost Race, the Light Race, and the Dark Star Race, plus the Alien Race and the Crystal Race, these are the only ones we need to worry about. More than half of them are at the second level of divine intent," Yang Qinglan reminded Li Changzhou.
“Hmm.” Li Changzhou nodded. “These races don’t have many abilities, but precisely because they don’t have many, they are quite troublesome.”
“Precisely because there aren’t many, there are also fewer ways to deal with them, aren’t there?” Yaochi said.
"I think you're more confident than I am," Li Changzhou chuckled.
"I have confidence in you. If it were me, I would have surrendered long ago," Yaochi said with a smile.
All four of them laughed.
Yaochi said this, but they all knew that she was not only powerful, but also competitive.
Even if Li Changzhou were to face her now, he would be confident of winning, but not guaranteed to win. He might lose a few times out of ten.
"Sister Yao, just how strong is your favorite concubine? I was too embarrassed to ask before, but tell me now." Li Qianxia whispered to Yaochi, lying on Yang Qinglan and Li Changzhou's laps.
"As long as I'm serious, any man whose skill level is lower than mine, or not much higher, will basically be defeated instantly."
"Ha~" Li Changzhou laughed, "Have you forgotten how I broke your leg in the Pear Garden back then?"
“That was before I ascended to the Human Immortal realm,” Yaochi said with a smile, “Why don’t you try it now?”
"Try it! I don't believe it!" These were the words of Li Qianxia.
"What do you think?" Li Changzhou asked Yang Qinglan. "I have great confidence in you, Miss Yang. Who can compare to your charm?"
"Watch the game." Yang Qinglan rolled her eyes at the three of them and tapped Li Changzhou's forehead with her Ruyi.
The matter was over just like that, and a hint of regret flashed in Yaochi's clear eyes.
Li Changzhou might think that she often used her favored concubines on him, but in fact she never did, nor did she intend to. Just like Li Changzhou did not use emotional control on them.
But this opportunity is rare. It seems that Li Qianxia took the initiative to ask Li Changzhou to use emotional control on her, and Li Changzhou has now offered himself up. She really wants to give Li Changzhou a hard time.
The divine crystal shone brightly, once again dominating the entire arena.
The participant with the shortest time in the second round advances directly to the third round. The second round begins now.
After the second round, there will be 125 players left, and one person will definitely get a bye.
{Round 2, Match 1: Earthling - King of the Black Mist, Machine Race - Number 365.2 Billion}
"The first one again?" Li Qianxia exclaimed.
"Another second-tier divine intent?" Yang Qinglan frowned slightly.
"Is your luck not so good?" Yaochi asked Li Changzhou.
“With a team like this by my side, do you think I’m unlucky?” Li Changzhou walked toward the repaired arena.
Before they even got up there, ripples appeared in the void behind the mechanical race.
Just as Li Changzhou thought it was another summoning of Dark Star people, countless weapons slowly emerged from the ripples. In the very center of all the weapons, a Star Destroyer unceremoniously pointed its cannons at Li Changzhou.
—This might really be bad. (Li Changzhou transmitted his thoughts to Yaochi, racking his brains for a solution as he walked up.)
Yaochi crossed her left leg over her right, rested her left elbow on her left knee, and then cupped her exquisite face in her left palm, watching him go up with a smile, like a beautiful wife watching her husband go on stage to receive an award.
