Chapter 340: Chapter 336: Challenge at the Dao Pavilion

The dazzling golden light was so intense that the people around could not open their eyes, and the originally flamboyant system prompt now sounded more intriguing.

“A single draw that hits home! Drawing out a miracle!”

“You can really draw a gold legend! This system isn’t scamming people!”

“Calm down, this could be a coincidence, let’s observe a little more.”

“That makes sense.”

Gao Cheng looked at the gold card in front of him in surprise. The complete Rune Mechanical Armour on it suggested that he could commission a piece of Rune Mechanical Armour from the Wuhou Corporation with this card right this moment.

“Is it that simple?”

Seeing Gao Cheng’s surprised expression, Han Wei couldn’t help but laugh, “Just that simple.”

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

Upon seeing Gao Cheng casually draw a gold legend, the young man immediately could hardly endure it. He rudely pushed Gao Cheng aside and took another frenzied ten consecutive draws.

“It must be because I just topped him off. As long as I draw that many more, I’ll definitely get it!”

With a certain dream, the young man took hundreds of draws in a row, but still only a few specks of purple light emerged, leaving the rest as blue skies and white clouds.

“How could it be like this…”

The young man’s eyes were dull, clearly having a hard time accepting this result.

“Is it that hard…”

Looking at the young man’s somewhat collapsing eyes, Gao Cheng grew even more perplexed, whereas Han Wei revealed a malicious smile, “Just try it a few more times to know.”

Afterward, Han Wei pushed Gao Cheng onto another card-drawing machine and briskly helped Gao Cheng log into his account, while instantly, the gawking crowd promptly abandoned the wealthy young man and flocked around Bai Qi.

“Or, try a ten-consecutive draw?”

With so many eyes on him, Gao Cheng was also somewhat unaccustomed and hesitated for a moment before pressing the button for a ten-consecutive draw.

“Hmph, without someone topping off, how could it draw a card? It must have been given to others to top off.”

The wealthy young man sneered disdainfully, full of resentment and glaring at Gao Cheng, seemingly intending to spread his bad luck to him.

Finally, in the expectant gaze of everyone, Gao Cheng flipped the ten cards one by one, the first of which was a purple light.

“Purple card? Ha ha ha, I told you it’s impossible…”

The young man was immediately in high spirits, just about to mock when a dazzling gold light decisively shut him up.

“Wow! Gold Legend!”

Another Gold card?!

The crowd was buzzing, but before they could be surprised for long, another golden light appeared, leaving them so shocked they could not close their mouths.

“Two golds in a ten-consecutive draw, along with six purples? Can a human really draw that?”

“Don’t block me; let me hurry up and suck in some luck!”

“Rich life-span player, mustn’t provoke.”

“…”

Bai Qi looked at Gao Cheng who seemed as if he had been possessed by a king of fortune, and couldn’t help but smack his tongue.

“Good thing Feng Ye didn’t come, otherwise, he would have probably shut himself off.”

Drawing a gold card individually and getting two gold cards in a ten-consecutive draw, with such a lucky start, it was estimated others would get even more insane.

No wonder the Zhuge family could catch up to those old-style corporations so quickly. They even came up with strategies like this. If they don’t get rich, then who does?

“Bai Qi, it seems quite lively over there too. Want to go take a look?”

Bai Qiucha lacked interest in the card-drawing show, looked around, and saw another crowd not far from the shop.

Compared to the card-drawing crazy teenagers over here, that side seemed relatively quiet. Everyone huddled together as if they were observing something.

“Is that the Spirit-Control Orb store?”

Bai Qi walked forward curiously and immediately felt a headache upon seeing a neat pair of cubic metal boxes on the counter.

First was drawing cards, and now blind boxes? This Zhuge family really cracked the wealth code…

Compared to the high-speed card drawing with a single press of a button next door, the pace of opening blind boxes here was much slower. Young people who bought Spirit-Control Orb blind boxes were cautious as if they were preparing for a lottery draw.

“Ah, it’s just a regular Spirit-Control Orb again. I’m so unlucky.”

“Ha ha ha, I got a high-level orb, it’s not a loss.”

“Losers, I got a glacier orb. I can contract a high-level Ice Clan beast now!”

“23333…”

Unlike the Beast Masters drawing cards next door, most Spirit Controllers had lower spending power, so the winning rate of these blind boxes was significantly higher.

“No wonder no one is complaining. The Wuhou Corporation really know how to read the room.”

Looking at the Spirit Controllers who had more or less reaped some rewards, Bai Qi nodded slightly.

He had already given the blueprint for making special orbs to the Wuhou Corporation earlier, but the Wuhou Corporation hadn’t launched them yet. It seems like they were waiting for this moment.

“Bai Qi, are you back from training?”

Zhuge Chen, who was checking the operation status of all departments, ran over to Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha, who were wandering about. He said, “I thought you were still training outdoors since you didn’t reply to my message.”

“Cough, cough… I just got back not long ago.”

Bai Qi cleared his throat and asked, “Did you come up with the idea of the card drawing and mystery boxes?”

Zhuge Chen nodded and laughed, “How is it, isn’t the effect good?”

“Sure, it’s good. But aren’t you afraid that people will get overly hooked and conflicts might arise?”

Bai Qi, seeing the fervent participants in the card-drawing section, couldn’t help but warn.

At this rate, Bai Qi was skeptical if those few card-drawing machines could be reclaimed undamaged.

“I have considered this issue, so in addition to the direct card drawing, you can also upgrade the lower-grade cards to exchange, which is cheaper than outright buying them.”

Zhuge Chen smiled and said, “The Rune Mechanical Armour is good, but the materials used aren’t cheap. Apart from the Federal Government being able to afford it for the military, not everyone can afford it.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, not to mention the design. To ensure the smooth flow of rune energy, the metal used in Rune Mechanical Armor was quite special, hence quite expensive. If the user’s physique is larger, the cost will be even higher.

With this in mind, the card drawing was quite conscientious.

“Almost forgot, I have something important to discuss with you.”

Zhuge Chen slapped his forehead, “Do you have anything urgent today?”

“No, why?”

Bai Qi shook his head in confusion, saying, “Don’t tell me it’s another opening ceremony. I can’t handle that.”

“I know your character. The opening ceremony has long ended. I just want to ask you to fight a few matches for the Wuhou Dojo.”

“Fight matches?”

Zhuge Chen explained, “Wuhou Dojo is a new Dojo, but because of its affiliation with Rune Evolution and the Star Mechanical Academy’s Undead Department, its development speed is relatively quick, which inevitably draws unnecessary attention.”

At this point, Zhuge Chen paused, “You understand the relationship between a dojo and a corporation.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood. Were they trying to suppress the newcomers?

It makes sense, the Wuhou Corporation’s growth in recent years has been rapid, making progress in various fields. Recently, they even started doing business with the Federation, it’s no surprise that they’re being targeted.

“So, you want me to pose as a student and fight against students from other dojos?”

“A student? I haven’t seen any dojo that’s so extravagant as to have a Fifth Stage Beastmaster as a student.”

Zhuge Chen gave a resigned smile, “The main targets of this challenge are our Wuhou Dojo’s instructors. If the instructors lose, the students will naturally choose the side with stronger abilities.”

“Me, an instructor? No thank you. I’m only a Fifth Stage and I don’t suit the role.”

Bai Qi was quick to refuse. After all, if others dare to challenge, they must at least have sent a couple of Six Stage Beast Trainers. He, a Fifth Stage Beastmaster, shouldn’t meddle unnecessarily.

“You really don’t know the situation at all.”

Upon seeing Bai Qi’s reaction, Zhuge Chen couldn’t help but enlighten him.

“Relative to Legendary Beast Masters, there are quite a number of Six Stage Beast Trainers, but that’s only relatively speaking. Except for the Federation and the Association, a dojo having three to five Six Stage Beast Trainers is considered quite powerful. Take the Wuhou Corporation for example, they only have three Six Stage Beast Trainers. Fifth Stage Beastmasters are the backbone of a dojo.”

“I see. I thought a Fifth-Stage Beastmaster wasn’t worth much.”

Bai Qi now understood. It’s no wonder he thought so, practically every person he knew was of a high level. He had already seen three Titled Legendary, and a huge bunch of Six Stage Beast Trainers at the headquarters. Fifth Stage felt like nothing to him.

“The Beast Trainers from the other dojos should be arriving soon, we should hurry there.”

Zhuge Chen checked the time and hurried Bai Qi. Bai Qi shrugged, grabbed Bai Qiucha, who was still observing the excitement, and they rushed toward the Wuhou Dojo together.

Wuhou Dojo was a dojo that specialized in Undead Department. Bai Qiucha, the Bone Dragon Spirit Master, wouldn’t want to miss it.

…

Wuhou Dojo.

Wen Ruoshui nodded slightly at the sight of the energetic students on the stage above.

“Did not expect Master Duan to train such spirited students, it’s indeed a surprise.”

Hearing this, Duanmeng snorted, “Your students are no match for Chairman Wen’s vibrant group of students.”

Wen Ruoshui gave a faint smile, not lingering on the topic of students, instead turned towards the group of instructors behind him, “Are these all instructors of Wuhou Dojo? There’s a tough battle coming up soon, doesn’t Master Duan need to prep them first?”

Duanmeng shook his head, “Training takes time, a last-minute rush doesn’t help at all. Besides, they’re not necessarily weaker than the others.”

“It’s not really about being weaker, but whether the others will play by the rules.”

A spark flashed in Wen Ruoshui’s broad face. Haoli Dojo also had support from corporations behind it, so he understood the intricacies well. Even though they won’t send a group of Six Stage Beast Trainers, their strength is definitely be considerable.

He worried that if the Wuhou Dojo couldn’t handle it, it would leave a significant impact on the future development.

That said, it wouldn’t be a bad thing either.

“Master Duan.”

At that time, Zhuge Chen led Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha from the gate. After a glance around the place and finding the representatives from other dojos hadn’t arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly ran to Duanmeng’s side.

Duanmeng seemed puzzled, he looked over at Zhuge Chen, then the two behind him, and asked, “Young Master Zhuge, what can I do for you?”

“I want Bai Qi to fight this battle on behalf of Wuhou Dojo. What do you think, Master Duan?”
