Chapter 689 Tournament (1)

As Mo Ze Chen was being chased around the arena, Angela came out of the elevator with Yuki and walked over to where Lin Fan was sitting.

She looked down at Mo Ze Chen running around in the arena, but her attention wasn't on Mo Ze Chen, but rather the little white tiger that was running along with him.

After a period of silence, she asked, "How is it going?"

Lin Fan turned to look at her and after a while, he shook his head with a helpless smile. Then he spread his hand and said, "It's going as well as it can go."

Hearing this, Angela suddenly narrowed her eyes and turned back to Mo Ze Chen who was running around with the little white tiger. After a moment of silence, she suddenly gave a snort before turning to Brainy to say, "Throw some more beasts at him."

Brainy was surprised to hear Angela suddenly speaking to her, but she turned and gave a nod before saying, "Got it, big sister."

Angela naturally knew about Brainy the entire time, she had even tried to treat Brainy like the other pets of Lin Fan, trying to get them to call her "mom", but Brainy was the only one that refused. In fact, Brainy didn't seem to like Angela at first, but slowly she came around to her and accepted her.

It was almost as if she was afraid of Angela…

But even after coming around to her, she still refused to call her "mom" like all the other kids did and insisted on calling her "big sister".

Angela had no choice but to accept this in the end since she was just happy that Brainy had come around to accepting her.

Yuki also came up behind Brainy and hugged her which caught Brainy off guard.

But Brainy also accepted this since over the past few days, she had gotten quite close to Yuki.

It was mainly because both of them were rather childish.

Yuki because it was her personality and Brainy because she was still technically a child, even if she was older than the older pets.

With her age, Brainy was currently in the stage of being a teenager, so it was normal for her to act that way. As for Yuki…It seemed like even though she was as old as Angela, this was just her natural personality.

Of course, the reason that they were here to watch Mo Ze Chen train wasn't because they cared about his performance or even the fact that he was representing Lin Fan in this tournament, they only cared about the little white tiger that he was training with.

Since Lin Fan had taken in the little white tiger, Angela had treated it like her son and she had always taken special care of it. Even compared Lin Fan's other pets who she treated like her children, it was clear that Xiao Bai was her favourite.

Now that Xiao Bai was entering his first tournament, she had to go cheer him on as his mother!

However, if Xiao Bai were to perform poorly because of Mo Ze Chen…

It was hard to guarantee what would happen to Mo Ze Chen after the tournament…

Seeing that Mo Ze Chen still wasn't improving even after more beasts were sent, Angela started tapping her feet with impatience. Then when she saw Xiao Bai having to throw out some water blades just to keep Mo Ze Chen safe, she couldn't take it anymore.

She turned to Brainy and said, "Call your beasts back."

Brainy felt a chill run down her spine when she heard Angela say this, but she still listened to her.

When Mo Ze Chen saw that the beasts were all backing down, he was very confused. He turned over to where Lin Fan was sitting and was about to ask what was happening, but before he could say a word, Angela had already jumped into the arena.

Mo Ze Chen also felt a chill run down his spine when he saw her jumping into the arena and he quickly asked in a trembling voice, "Sis, sister in law, what, what are you doing, doing here?"

Angela rolled up her sleeves and said one simple word, "Training."

Mo Ze Chen's expression sank as the bad feeling deep down inside him became even stronger.

He had gotten to know Angela over the past few days and naturally he knew just how strong she was…

If she were to do some "training", it would be hard to guarantee his survival…

But Mo Ze Chen did know her one weakness.

Without any hesitation, Mo Ze Chen turned to pick Xiao Bai up from the ground to use as a shield, but as soon as he turned, he found that Xiao Bai was already missing.

When he turned back to look at Angela, he found Xiao Bai was already in her embrace, rubbing his head against her hand that was rubbing his head.

Mo Ze Chen knew that he was doomed and he just said with the look of a dead fish, "Please be gentle."

Angela just gave a cold snort before she raised her fist.

As for what happened after, it was too graphic to describe. However, at the end of it, Mo Ze Chen just laid there on the ground with his eyes rolled back, almost looking like he was dead.

Lulu immediately ran into the arena and came to his side with a medical box.

As she looked him over, she carefully looked at Angela and asked, "Sister in law, is he still alive?"

Angela gave a snort before saying, "He's alive."

Lulu let out a sigh of relief before she started treating Mo Ze Chen's wounds.

Angela just ignored the two of them as she headed back upstairs with Xiao Bai in her arms and Yuki following behind her.

As they passed by Lin Fan, he could see the two of them looking up different delivery menus online…

The two of them were both big eaters and the two of them had worked their way through over a hundred restaurants in just a few days…

The only thing that Lin Fan could think as they headed upstairs was that he needed to hold a funeral for his poor wallet.

…

The training lasted a few more days and finally they received the information on the tournament from Qiao Yi Fei.

Like she had said, it was held two weeks after the time she had last met them and it was being held in Harmony City.

The reason why it was being held in Harmony City was because Harmony City was a symbolic place.

This was a city that had been built by all twelve of the great factions and it was considered a neutral place between them.

This tournament was to decide the rankings for the next generation and naturally they couldn't let a single force be in charge of holding the tournament. So that was why they chose to hold it in Harmony City, under joint management.

Of course the twelve great factions wouldn't let another minor faction take over this tournament because of how important it was, so they decided to manage it together after long deliberation.

Also because of how open it was, to show the spirit of fairness and to show off how benevolent they were, they allowed anyone to enter this tournament. They didn't have to be from one of the twelve great factions to enter this tournament.

Because of this, there were quite a number of participants that came from various minor forces.

This was a tournament that would have the attention of the entire Galactic Humanity Alliance, so if one could stand out here, it would mean that they would have a bright future. If they could show off enough potential, there was even the chance of joining the twelve great factions.

Which was the second and hidden reason why the twelve great factions had made this tournament public.

No one was against gaining more geniuses.

p However, this also meant that there would be many more rounds that they would have to go through to reach the final event.

Another way of showing fairness that the twelve great factions came up with was to not give any seeded positions to their own geniuses. This meant that even the geniuses of the twelve great factions would have to fight in the preliminaries to get to the finals.

But in reality, this was actually just a way for the twelve great factions to plot against each other.

Since the twelve great factions were the ones organizing this tournament, it was very easy for them to manipulate the drawings for the matches.

They all knew who the famous geniuses of each of the twelve great factions were, so they could easily place them with people with talent that weren't as well known to hurt those geniuses. They could even place them with assassins that could use the matches to kill them.

After all, while killing was prohibited, swords didn't have eyes.

It was very common for accidents to happen in places like this.

But none of that mattered to Mo Ze Chen since he was not someone famous.

Even if he was from the twelve great factions, he was someone that wasn't known for his power since he really didn't have much power to begin with.

This was evident in where he had been assigned to fight his matches.

Since there were many participants that had signed up, the preliminaries had been divided into different batches that would be held in many different locations.

The location that Mo Ze Chen had been assigned was one of the lower tiered ones, which showed that no one really paid any attention to him.

But of course, that was just fine since Mo Ze Chen was planning on staying low key for as long as possible.
