Chapter 341: Chapter 337: Worshiping the Moon Wood Spirit

“Let Bai Qi lead the Dojo fight?”

Duanmeng was taken aback at those words. Before he could speak, Wen Ruoshui at his side had his eyes lit up and said, “That’s a good idea. After all, Bai Qi contributed greatly to the rapid development of the Wuhou Dojo. It’s not a problem for him to represent us.”

Hearing Wen Ruoshui’s words, Duanmeng didn’t offer a counter-argument for the first time and nodded after a moment of contemplation, saying, “No problem. Bai Qi is already on the list of instructors at the Wuhou Dojo. No one can find fault with that.”

“That’s good then.”

Relieved upon hearing Duanmeng’s agreement, Zhuge Chen looked at Bai Qi and said, “Bai Qi, the fight of the Fifth Stage Beastmasters will depend on you.”

“I’ll do my best. Don’t blame me if I lose.”

Bai Qi shrugged, he had only advanced to the Fifth Stage not too long ago. He wouldn’t be arrogant enough to think that he could be invincible among his peers. He didn’t have confidence in winning against those veteran Fifth Stage Beastmasters.”

“Right, let Cha join in as well. He’s an Undead Department Beastmaster too. That won’t be too much, will it?”

“No.”

Duanmeng shook his head without hesitation and said, “Bai Qiucha is Bai Chuanqi’s son; he can’t casually join other factions. If it weren’t for your collaboration with the Zhuge family, it would also be inappropriate given your status as Bai Chuanqi’s disciple.”

“I see.”

Upon hearing these words, Bai Qi frowned. Then, upon seeing Lu Yuan, who was diligently preparing as a student below, his eyes brightened, and he said, “Then let Cha act as a student. There are contests between students as well, right?”

“A student?”

Duanmeng hesitated for a moment before looking at Bai Qiucha, who seemed helpless, and reluctantly nodded.

“There shouldn’t be a problem if he’s a student… in any case, the main event is the battle between the instructors. We may not need you to appear.”

“That’s settled then. With both of you participating, the Dojo contest should be secured.”

Zhuge Chen smirked, “Come, I’ll take you to get your uniforms. Even though you’re substitutes, you still need to be properly equipped.”

Saying this, Zhuge Chen went to take the two backstage to change their uniforms.

“Masters, this way, please.”

Outside the Wuhou Dojo, Zhuge Xu led two men and one woman, all dressed in different uniforms, into the dojo. Following behind them were three groups of young people wearing the same uniforms.

“They’re here.”

Duanmeng’s face changed at the sight, and he strode forward, with Wen Ruoshui following behind him.

“Master Cao, Master Liu, Master Sun, it’s been a long time.”

Duanmeng strained a smile and shook hands with the others, who returned the gesture one by one.

“Since all of you masters already know each other, I won’t bother with introductions.”

Seeing this, Zhuge Xu said with a laugh, “Masters, do you need to rest first, or should I take you on a tour? It’s the grand opening of the Wuhou Mall today, and it’s quite lively.”

“No need, let’s go straight to the point.”

A middle-aged man, who had an imposing aura about him, shook his head and looked at the students of the Wuhou Dojo behind him, saying, “Are these the students of the Wuhou Dojo?”

Duanmeng nodded. He led the three of them into the dojo and introduced Bai Qi and others, “Allow me to introduce. These are Master Cao Bin from Yanhuo Dojo, Master Sun Tian from Zhanlei Dojo, and Master Liu Bei from Bing Yu Dojo.”

“Greetings to the masters.”

Bai Qi and the others each took turns to pay tribute to the three, and once their eyes fell on Bai Qi, they all focused their attention on Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha.

Cao Bin pondered for a bit, then asked, “Are you Bai Qi?”

“Yes, that’s right, Bai Qi; one of our instructors at the Wuhou Dojo.”

Duanmeng acknowledged, directly pointing out Bai Qi’s identity, and the eyes of Cao Bin and the other masters instantly became strange as they involuntarily glanced at Bai Qi’s casual attire.

Looking at this outfit, it’s undoubtedly someone hired for extra help. Could they make it a little more professional?

A bit speechless, Cao Bin looked at Bai Qiucha who was beside him and asked, “Has the son of Bai Chuanqi joined the Wuhou Dojo as well?”

At Cao Bin’s words, the faces of the others changed subtly. Seeing this, Duanmeng understood and shook his head, “Not quite.”

“Hmm.”

“However, Bai Qiucha is a student of our Wuhou Dojo.”

Cao Bin and the others were speechless. Recalling Duanmeng’s way of doing things in the past, they couldn’t help but give Duanmeng a thumbs up.

“Master Duan is still as… unconventional as ever.”

Duanmeng’s mouth twitched as if responding to Cao Bin’s tease, and the atmosphere froze instantly.

“Well, now that the three masters are eager to start the Dojo fight, shall we get started?”

Seeing this, Zhuge Xu quickly tried to break the ice, then turned to Wen Ruoshui and said, “Chairman Wen, would you mind being the referee?”

“It would be my pleasure.”

Wen Ruoshui smiled and looked at the three and asked, “Who will be the first to take the stage among you?”

“Our Bing Yu Dojo is the weakest among the three, so we will go first.”

Liu Bei gave a soft smile and a tall, somewhat flushed man walked out from behind him, saying, “I am Guan Qing, a Fifth Stage Beastmaster from Bing Yu Dojo. I look forward to learning from you.”

“Guan Qing?”

Duanmeng frowned slightly, saying, “Master Liu, you are still the same as before. You even brought out someone like Guan Qing who could be promoted to the Sixth Stage at any moment.”

Liu Bei smiled, “Of course. Once he advances to the Sixth Stage, he won’t have the chance to participate in the Dojo fights anymore, so he naturally wants to seize this opportunity.”

Seeing Liu Bei’s perfunctory smile, Duanmeng was speechless for a while.

This man’s skin has become thicker than Wen Ruoshui’s.

“Bai Qiucha, is this Guan Qing really powerful? It seems that Master Duan looks a bit solemn.”

Bai Qi was somewhat curious and asked Bai Qiucha, who was standing beside him.

“Guan Qing is an orthodox member of the Bing Yu Martial Arts Hall, and his main pet is the King Creature, Wood Spirit. He has been a veteran Fifth Stage Beastmaster for quite some time and is very powerful.”

Bai Qiucha quickly glanced at several Fifth Stage instructors at Wuhou Dojo, and said, “The Fifth Stage Beastmasters at Wuhou Dojo are not necessarily a match for Guan Qing.”

“So, they are here to cause trouble.”

With that said, Bai Qi now understood why they had such a powerful Beastmaster. They were clearly not planning on leaving any face for the Wuhou Dojo.

“It’s normal. Although Federation is very developed, it has been stable for so many years. Almost all areas have been divided up evenly. The rapid development of the Wuhou Corporation would naturally not please those traditional big businesses.”

Bai Qiucha wasn’t really surprised. Although the association was relatively stable inside, there were many similar incidents, and the disputes between the clan system and the master-disciple system had become the traditional culture of the association.

“Right, the size of the cake remains unchanged. If there’s one less person to share it with, the rest of us will naturally benefit.”

Bai Qi nodded and turned to look at the ring.

Following Wen Ruoshui’s instructions, a beastmaster from Wuhou Dojo and Guan Qing began entering the battlefield one after another. Devices like the Space Barrier Device and Energy Absorption Device were activated one by one, and the spectators began to gather around the ring.

“Is it a dojo battle?”

“Of course, didn’t you see the masters of those three dojos all come together just before?”

“I did. I originally thought they were here to order Rune Mechanical Armor.”

“These martial arts halls, backed by wealthy enterprises, need not bother themselves if they really wanted something. Their presence is clearly to cause trouble.”

“But why choose now? The Wuhou Dojo has been open for such a long time, and they didn’t make an appearance until now? It seems like they are here to spoil the event.”

“That’s exactly what they’re here to do. If Wuhou Dojo loses this round, it’s going to affect the business of the Wuhou Mall and the entire Wuhou Corporation!”

“What a pity. If they had given Wuhou Dojo a little more time, they might have been able to compete with these strong players.”

…

Wen Ruoshui glanced at the two contestants and said, “Let’s have a brief introduction to yourselves.”

“Guan Qing, Fifth Stage Beastmaster, my main pet is the Moon Worship Wood Spirit.”

“Lin Mu, Fifth Stage Beastmaster, my main pet is the Dark Night Poison Lizard.”

Lin Mu and Guan Qing saluted each other, and Wen Ruoshui slightly nodded, saying aloud, “Then, let the match begin!”

As soon as his words fell, two purple runes lightened up on the stage, revealing a humanoid wood figure and a colossal lizard hidden in the shadows.

[Name]: Moon Worship Wood Spirit

[Nature]: Plant Attribute, Moon Attribute

[Bloodline Level]: Low-level King

…

[Name]: Dark Night Poison Lizard

[Nature]: Beast, Shadow, Toxin Attribute

[Bloodline Level]: Low-level King

…

Almost immediately after making its appearance, the Dark Night Poison Lizard concealed itself and the luminous stage got drenched in darkness instantly, making it impossible to see the Poison Lizard.

“The choice is right. The Dark Night Poison Lizard is the most powerful in the dark. However, it chose the wrong opponent.”

Seeing this, Wen Ruoshui shook her head regretfully, apparently viewing the forthcoming result of the battle.

However, all of this was unknown to Lin Mu. Seeing the Dark Night Poison Lizard, which had been cloaked in the dark and slowly releasing its toxins around the Wood Spirit, he became quite satisfied.

Although the Dark Night Poison Lizard is not weak at close combat, he prefers to slowly wear down his enemies using its toxins. This sort of attritional warfare is also a common strategy among the Undead Department Beastmasters.

Although toxins are less effective on plant attribute creatures, with the power of the Shadow Department, the Moon Worship Wood Spirit is bound to suffer.

If toxins don’t work out, the Dark Night Poison Lizard can always sneak attacks.

He will not easily show his weak side facing a powerful rival like Guan Qing.

However, the moment the toxins of the Dark Night Poison Lizard were about to get close to the Wood Spirit, the latter suddenly raised its hands as if welcoming something, and a pure moonlight appeared in the otherwise dim dojo due to the Dark Night Poison Lizard’s ability and fell onto the stage.

The gentle moonlight warded off the dusky shadows, and the massive figure of the Dark Night Poison Lizard was suddenly exposed before the Wood Spirit. The toxin that had been flowing from the lizard’s mouth was immediately nullified by the moonlight.

Moonlight·Purification.

“Not good, it has awakened the ability to purify.”

Seeing this, Lin Mu was stunned. It was obvious that he hadn’t expected the famous close combat Wood Spirit to awaken a skill like Moonlight. He immediately commanded the Dark Night Poison Lizard to lavish King’s battlefield, and the rune on his forehead flashed, giving the Dark Night Poison Lizard a huge boost in speed as it rushed towards the Wood Spirit.

Since the strategy of exhausting the enemy failed, then it should be a quick fight!

“You’re too slow.”

Seeing this, Guan Qing shook his head. The crown on his forehead glowed red, the arms of the Wood Spirit suddenly became muscular. The branches of its arms stretched out and intertwined, transforming into a large sword slashing towards its front.

And its target was the Dark Night Poison Lizard, who could hardly avoid the attack!
