“Finally!” Her gaze fell upon the castle.
"You may not know this, but I also have some knowledge of feng shui. So you probably all know that I discovered the secret of this castle on the first day I arrived. However, I don't understand foreign magic arrays. I just have a vague feeling about what they are used for."
“I’ve been thinking about this while I was competing these past few days. Yesterday I suddenly realized that it’s a sacrificial formation. In the end, the energy that everyone sacrifices will only be absorbed by one person.”
Her gaze was fixed on Lys Norton, the person in charge of the competition: "Sir, please explain why the energy sacrificed by everyone in the end ended up on you alone."
Lys Norton looked at Lin Zhiluo with a blank and innocent gaze: "Miss Lin, I don't know what you mean."
"Oh, I don't know." Lin Zhiluo slowly walked to a certain place in the castle, where there was an intricate and exquisite clock.
Lin Zhiluo grabbed a stool from the castle and smashed it against the clock.
"Boom!" Cracks appeared on the beautiful clock.
Cracks also appeared on Lys Norton's face.
“Miss Lin, what are you doing? These are all precious pieces of furniture. If you break them, you…” Before Rhys Norton could finish speaking, Qi Zhiyang stepped forward and said.
“It’s alright. This castle isn’t a major castle that needs maintenance. It was just built a few years ago. The furniture inside is expensive, but I, Qi Zhiyang, can afford to pay for it. I’ll pay for whatever Luo Luo smashes.”
Rhys Norton's face darkened. Was this a problem with the furniture? His array was incomplete; it wouldn't be effective if it were to run later.
Lin Zhiluo picked up the stool and went in another direction. As she continued to move her hands, the integrity of the formation was also disrupted.
Only then did Lin Zhiluo feel relieved. The formation with a piece destroyed wouldn't be as effective, but at least everyone's lives could be saved.
Rhys Norton immediately activated the formation, otherwise the formation he had carefully set up for more than two years would have been completely destroyed by her.
"You! Rhys Norton, what are you doing?"
Apart from Leng Xuehai and Wu Zhiguo, the remaining countries were caught off guard; they did not expect that Rhys Norton would actually make a move.
At this moment, Bai Sixing and Yu An were secretly hiding behind Qi Zhiyang. It looked like a fight was about to break out. They were just two fragile little trash, and they couldn't be hurt by them.
Seeing how self-disciplined they were, Qi Zhiyang was no longer worried and let them stay behind him. His gaze, however, fell on Lin Zhiluo.
Lin Zhiluo stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Lys Norton: "You really couldn't hold back, and you really did this."
"Hahaha, since I can't hide it anymore, I'll just confess. I did this. You are all the chosen ones of your respective countries. The energy I gained from sacrificing you is much greater than that of the ordinary people I schemed against before."
"Hahaha, as long as you stay here today, I will definitely be the strongest person in the world in the future."
"You won't be the strongest person in the world."
Lin Zhiluo said.
"Why!" Upon hearing that he wouldn't be the strongest person in the world, Rhys Norton went mad. He had done so much, all to become stronger. "Who is it? I'll go kill him."
"There are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. You can't just kill everyone who's stronger than you." Lin Zhilu looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Leaving aside others, you can't even beat this man named Qi Zhiyang in front of you."
Qi Zhiyang knew that his wife was showing off to him, so he had no choice but to use eight-tenths of his strength.
Qi Zhiyang, already formidable, was now the most dazzling star in the crowd. After the formation was activated, the already dark place was now shrouded in yin energy, and there were even roaring sounds coming from something.
People from other countries were fleeing in panic because these dark things would cause rotting flesh to appear on their bodies if they touched them.
However, when they encountered Chinese competitors, the Chinese competitors would be crackling with lightning.
They themselves were fine, but those dark things emitted painful cries when they encountered lightning, and then turned into black water.
Those who had drawn the talisman were suddenly stunned. Some of them, who were quick to react, remembered that they had talismans on them. These were Lin Zhiluo's peace talismans, which Leng Xuehai had bought from Lin Zhiluo at a huge cost.
Many people initially thought it was useless, but now it's so useful. They couldn't help but look at Leng Xuehai with gratitude. If it weren't for Elder Leng, they would have been dead today.
Leng Xuehai kept his merits hidden; he simply hid behind Qi Zhiyang. No wonder the two little ones, Yu'an and Bai Sixing, were hiding behind Qi Zhiyang; it was safe enough there.
Wu Zhiguo is also hiding here. He's getting old, and now it's the young people's turn to shine. Let the young people work harder for now.
Qi Zhiyang held a stick in his hand. He used to use a sword, but his natal sword never came with him, and he still doesn't have a weapon he's comfortable with. He has no choice but to use this stick now.
Qi Zhiyang protects the safety of the Chinese athletes, but athletes from other countries can't come over. Firstly, there are too many things attacking them, and secondly, Qi Zhiyang rejects them and won't let them get close. Even if they come over, they will be kept outside the barrier and can't get in.
People from several countries are now gritting their teeth. They have always been the ones who unite to isolate China, but they never expected to be ostracized by China alone. How dare they do this?
But their anger only lasted a moment; they had to concentrate on dealing with the dark thing.
Lin Zhiluo stood on the high ground looking down at them, and then said loudly, "Remember this, everyone, your lives were saved by us Chinese people today."
After saying that, she smashed the box placed at the highest altar with the stick in her hand, realizing that this was the problem that made the castle so gloomy.
Lys Norton roared, "You ungrateful Chinese, stop! This is my property, and you have no right to touch it!"
The stick in Lin Zhiluo's hand was tinged with green, a vibrant color that, in Lin Zhiluo's hands, turned into destruction.
Rhys Norton naturally knew how amazingly powerful Lin Zhiluo's green flames were. The treasure he kept in the box could not be destroyed, or his life would be over.
"You claim it's yours, but your name isn't on it. What proof do you have that it's yours?"
Lin Zhiluo's question left Norton speechless; he had prepared all of this secretly without telling anyone.
Seeing that he couldn't refute her, Lin Zhiluo smiled and said, "If you have no proof that it's yours, then you can say it's mine."
After saying that, he thrust the iron rod straight down.
"No!" Rhys Norton cried out in anguish.
