Shocked by the sword master's image, Wodi stared at her in a daze, not paying any attention to what the sword master asked. When he realized that he was ignored, he frowned slightly and repeated his question: "Wodi, why do you want to challenge the position of the master of the Heavenly Palace?"
The little cat came back to his senses, subconsciously glanced at Zhang San, then quickly looked away, hesitating for a long time, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Mary Su from the corner of his eye, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Because the Lord of the Heavenly Palace has a fat fish pond! I want to eat fat fish!"
Everyone: “…”
Although this reason sounds absurd, how come it is surprisingly reasonable when applied to this cat?
The most aggrieved person was probably the Lord of the Heavenly Palace. He never expected that one day he would be publicly provoked just for raising a pond of delicious-looking spiritual fish descendants. He was so angry that his face turned blue, and his gloomy eyes stared straight at Zhang San and Mary Su.
Everyone present is a smart person, not a fool. A lot of useful information can be inferred from Wodie's performance just now. For example, it was definitely Zhang San who instigated him to challenge the Lord of the Heavenly Temple, and it is very likely that Zhang San also reminded Wodie not to betray him. For another example, Mary Sue may not know that Wodie is going to challenge the Lord of the Heavenly Temple today, but she probably said something similar to Wodie before.
Everyone knows that this simple cat who can't even learn to lie doesn't care about anything except eating, drinking and having fun. Even tasks can only be completed by coaxing him with cat strips. Now he is willing to use his brain to get the fat fish in a roundabout way by challenging the Lord of the Heavenly Temple. He must have been fooled by others.
Therefore, those who were affected, including the Lord of the Heavenly Temple, had only a little hatred towards Wodie. Instead, their hatred towards Zhang San and Mary Sue skyrocketed, and they were about to fight with them on the spot.
Zhang San secretly groaned, but he felt guilty, his eyes were wandering around, and he happened to meet Wodie's gaze.
Wodi pretended to understand what he meant, nodded obediently, and urged with his hands on his hips: "I want to challenge the Lord of the Heavenly Palace. Don't hesitate! Do you accept the challenge or not?"
...
...
Zhang San: “…”
It really wasn't his instigation this time!
However, it was meaningless for him to explain himself any further, as everyone, including the swordsman, looked at him with fear and realization, obviously having determined that he was the one who instigated this.
Mary Sue, who was also implicated, was depressed and confused, and also put Zhang San on the blacklist of revenge - it must be this guy who did it, deliberately wanting her to take the blame! If it weren't for the poor acting skills of this little cat, Woody, he would have succeeded by now!
The Lord of the Heavenly Palace gnashed his teeth in anger and wished he could strangle Zhang San to death, but Wodi's urging became louder and louder, so he had no choice but to stand up and look at the swordsman inquiringly.
"The rule of the Biluo Organization is that the strong prevail. Since Wodi has issued a challenge, you should go on stage," the swordsman said coldly, obviously not intending to protect the Lord of the Heavenly Palace. "If you win, you will still be the Lord of the Heavenly Palace. If you lose, the Heavenly Palace and all its attachments will belong to Wodi."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Even in an organization like Biluo, where the law of the jungle prevails, after a challenge is successfully completed, the only thing they have to do is to give up their positions, and they never have to give away all their treasures - of course, most losers will die quickly and inexplicably, and all their belongings will disappear, which is another matter.
Not only was the Lord of the Heavenly Palace hesitant, even Wodie, who had been pretending to be innocent on the stage, was nervous.
Being stared at by the swordsman's deep gaze, he always felt that he was seen through by her. The last time he felt this kind of oppressive feeling was when he faced Luo Bozi.
The swordsman probably knew about the part of his strength that he had hidden.
But the swordsman definitely didn't know his identity, otherwise he wouldn't have looked at him with a look of implicit approval. He waved his hand without questioning, "It's settled. As the master of the Heavenly Palace, if you lose to a challenger, the punishment will naturally be more severe."
The swordsman made it clear, and the master of the Heavenly Palace had no choice but to nod.
He was not panicked. After all, he did not think he would lose. He glared at Zhang San fiercely, thinking that after this matter was over, he would find a chance to feed this guy to the Flame Demon as a snack. Then he took out a big sword surrounded by a faint flame from the folding space and stepped into the training ground.
Although he didn't take Wodi seriously, as the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, he had absolute combat awareness. The consequences of losing this battle would be so disastrous, so he took the initiative to attack as soon as he came on the field, trying to end the battle quickly.
Wodi escaped into a hidden space, dodged several attacks, and moved behind the Lord of the Heavenly Temple.
He had eaten countless rare treasures including the meat of the evil dragon, and had acquired many powerful weapons after robbing foreign superpowers. Although only half a month had passed since he challenged the captain of the elite team, his strength had improved by leaps and bounds. When facing the fierce offensive of the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, he was able to dodge it with ease, and even took advantage of the opportunity to throw a dagger, which brushed past the Lord of the Heavenly Palace's neck.
The spectators gasped and exclaimed in disbelief. Several people, including Zhang San, even stood up involuntarily.
No one expected that in the first confrontation between the cat demon and the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, the cat demon would have the upper hand.
"Didn't you teach Woody how to use the cursed power of the Dagger of the Abyss?" Mary Sue didn't care to hold a grudge and questioned Zhang San in a low voice.
If Wodi had activated the curse of the Dagger of the Abyss just now, allowing the curse power to penetrate the body of the Lord of the Temple of Heaven from the neck, this challenge might have been settled.
But now the night is long and dreams are many. The Lord of the Heavenly Palace must have many tricks up his sleeve, and the outcome of the challenge is still hard to predict.
Even if she hated Zhang San for dragging her into this, the feud with the Lord of the Heavenly Temple had already been made, so Mary Sue certainly hoped that Wodie would win.
Zhang San was so shocked by Wodi's true strength that his mind went blank. When he heard Mary Sue's question, he rolled his eyes in annoyance and pretended he didn't hear it.
Of course, he couldn't teach Wodie all the detailed usage of the Dagger of the Abyss, at least not before he found a way to restrain him. Who knows if it would backfire on him - of course, based on the current situation, with Wodie's strength, he could kill himself without activating the curse power of the Dagger of the Abyss.
On the battlefield, the man and the cat were fighting fiercely, and neither of them paid attention to the whispers in the audience.
The Lord of the Heavenly Palace missed his attack and quickly fell back to his original place. Without caring about the treasures he had stored for hundreds of years, he directly activated the highest level of defense shield, protecting himself tightly. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and touched his neck with lingering fear.
If Wodi hadn't known how to activate the Dagger of the Abyss, he would have been cursed and died miserably by now.
[So why don't you activate the Dagger of the Abyss?]
The cat toy who was the only one present who knew that Wodi could activate the Dagger of the Abyss asked in confusion.
[It's so easy to kill with one strike. If you drag it on, maybe this guy has some hidden weapons, and you'll be in trouble.]
Wordy, who had blocked out the cat toys the moment he entered the training ground, didn't hear the question at all.
He was concentrating on observing the movements of the Lord of the Sky Temple. His leopard cat's fighting instinct enabled him to sense danger quickly. He escaped into a hidden space a second before the invisible giant sword pierced his body, leaped up lightly, stepped on the Lord of the Sky Temple's head and jumped back, throwing an Abyss Dagger to break his protective shield, then flashed to his side and took the Abyss Dagger back.
Although after challenging the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, the Lords of the other three palaces would not treat him the same way as before, but Wodie was a dedicated actor, and the cat character would never collapse, even at a critical moment. A little kitten who had never been taught how to activate the Dagger of the Abyss should not learn to manipulate the cursed power, and he would definitely not use it.
After all, no matter whether he wins or loses the battle, as a cat favored by God, he will not be treated unfairly by the Biluo organization. But if his undercover identity is exposed, what Wodi will encounter may not be as simple as having his vest destroyed.
"You are very strong, meow." Woody licked the blood on the back of his hand, his sharp vertical pupils burning with fighting spirit, "You are worthy of being a human who owns so many big fat fish! But I must get the fat fish and become the best little cat!"
The Lord of the Heavenly Palace: "..."
Why would getting a few crappy fish make you the best kitty?
This perverted theory must have been taught by Zhang San! This bastard!
He cursed in his heart, wishing he could travel back to a day ago and tear Zhang San into pieces. However, he had already given in. Even though he knew when he was watching the battle before that Wodi's weakness was probably insufficient endurance, he could not resist the cat's quick movements, elusiveness, and the Abyss Dagger that could kill people at any time. If he was a little slower, he would probably be in trouble.
"Your Highness Wodi, let's make a deal," he said loudly, not caring about his face in front of his colleagues, just wanting to spend money to resolve the matter quickly. "If you want to eat my fat fish, I'll give it to you. When I went to the Arctic Ocean a while ago, I also captured an awakened killer whale with super powers. It's definitely a taste you have never tasted before, and I can give it to you as well!"
Wodi hesitated for a moment, with obvious intention on his face. He even retracted the Dagger of the Abyss in his hand, as if he was about to agree to the conditions of the Lord of the Heavenly Palace.
Now both Zhang San and Mary Su were anxious.
Even if he was afraid of Wodie, he was just a greedy cat after all and was easy to fool. But it was different for the Lord of the Heavenly Palace now. He had lost the descendant of the spirit fish and the killer whale who had awakened his super powers, and had lost face in public. This would inevitably be blamed on the two of them who "instigated Wodie". By then, let alone the positions of the Lords of the Xuan Palace and the Huang Palace, even their lives might be in danger.
There was no time to pretend to be innocent. Zhang San stood up and said, "Wodi, don't listen to him! As long as you win, not only will the descendants of the spirit fish and the super killer whale be yours, but all the other good things in the Heavenly Palace will be yours too!"
Mary Su gritted her teeth and looked around. She knew that in the eyes of others, she had been labeled as Zhang San's accomplice. She was in a dilemma and could only join in the discussion: "Besides, if you don't fight now, you will only have one way to lose. Are you willing to become the defeated general of the Lord of the Heavenly Palace?"
“Zhang San! Mary Sue! You two despicable villains!” Seeing that Wodi, who was about to give up, picked up the Dagger of the Abyss again, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace roared, almost losing his mind in anger, “One day, I will tear you into pieces!”
Since the relationship had already been exposed, Zhang San no longer had any scruples. He sneered, "We'll talk about it after you walk off the training ground alive!"
There was a heated verbal battle between people on and off the stage. Everyone, including the swordsman, was watching the excitement with great interest. No one even cared about the leopard cat who had actually provoked this.
After escaping into the hidden space, Wodi couldn't help but laughed out loud while holding his stomach.
Although he originally intended to let Zhang San and Mary Sue take the blame for him, they were too self-conscious!
His innocent little white cat character is so fresh and refined that even his fight for the position of the Lord of the Heavenly Palace becomes reasonable. These two must be the undercover agents of the Twenty-Eight Mansions!
The author has something to say:
Seriously, who would doubt an innocent little kitty who is cute and easily fooled?
