C224 Watertight

I won't?

When the unimaginable three words landed on the stage, everyone felt like thunder had crashed above their heads. They were stupefied on the spot!

Originally, everyone in Luohou Division had been looking forward to Chu Xiao turning the tide, and everyone in Yuyao Division was also hoping to see a good show play out. But, no one would have thought that Chu Xiao would actually say such words!

It was obvious that the tower was right in front of them, that even the worst Jiuyao clansman would dare to climb it … Chu Xiao, but refused to step onto the stage?

This... Young Master Luo Tong, you, did you say something wrong?

Someone asked in a low voice. Although he was being cautious, Chu Xiao smiled: That's right. I will not climb this tower.

Hiss!

With that said, everyone finally confirmed that Chu Xiao was not joking, and instantly, an uproar resounded!

No one could understand what was happening as countless gazes fell on Chu Xiao!

Young Master Luo Tong... Was he really afraid of fighting?

Oh my god! What day was it today? How could something so unimaginable happen?

Hahaha! Like I said, this guy is just bluffing! Yes, yes! Master Zhu Duiyou's result on the seventy-second floor is already the pinnacle, no one can break it! This Luo Tong was afraid that her illustrious reputation would be ruined here, so she was willing to forfeit from this battle?

The last sound, was naturally made by the Riyao Division clansmen. If he had said it before, they would definitely group up to refute, but now … Chu Xiao clearly indicated that he would not go up, but it just so happened that Zhu Duiyou's previous performance was indeed outstanding … In this situation, it was really hard to not think of whether Chu Xiao was doing it to protect himself …

I'm upset, really.

At this time, Zhu Duiyou looked at Chu Xiao, and slowly shook his head. I originally thought of you as my mortal enemy, but who would have known that you would be afraid to fight at the last moment, heh … From the looks of it, you don't deserve to be my opponent.

Is that so?

Hearing this, Chu Xiao was not annoyed, but instead said indifferently. But to me, you have never been any sort of lifelong rival, but were merely a small ant that was casually crushed during the journey.

Ridiculous!

Zhu Duiyou sneered, thinking, is this guy joking? He clearly said that he wouldn't be the one to climb the tower, and he was the one who said that he could easily crush his opponent … Were these contradictory words due to embarrassment and anger in his heart?

Zhu Duiyou! Don't be too arrogant! Don't forget before, you all thought that Young Master Luo Tong had given up, but what about the result? In an instant, your family's ancestors all flew into the sky! Have you forgotten all this?

A youngster from Luohou Division who could not tolerate Zhu Duiyou's arrogance immediately shouted! When these words were spoken, the complacent Riyao Division members' expressions froze, and they recalled some bad memories. Especially Zhu Duiyou, the shameful and angry scene from back then surfaced in his mind, as he slowly clenched both of his fists … But!

He took another deep breath quickly and said coldly, It's not the same!

Previously, I, Zhu Duiyou, still did not understand the principle of shame and courage, so I lost to your Young Master once again! However, this time is different. I have already ascended to the seventy-second level. Who can chase me?

Zhu Duiyou raised his sleeves, and snorted at Chu Xiao: Furthermore, you can't go back on your words again and again. I don't believe that you can do this a third time, Luo Tong!

With that said, everyone looked at each other, none of them knowing who to believe. Yinyao’s three elders on the other hand, regained his senses and coughed twice to indicate for everyone to quiet down. Then, they looked at Chu Xiao at the same time: "Young Master Luo Tong, does the words you said earlier about not going up the tower mean that you choose to forfeit?

Not really.

Chu Xiaodan responded. When these words came out, the hearts of everyone in the Luohou Division who were originally in their throats dropped to half, and some of the youths who were incomparably respectful to Chu Xiao thought to themselves: Young Master Luo Tong is probably going to do the same thing as the two previous rounds!

But...

What would he do?

If he didn't go up, how would he break Zhu Duiyou's record?

No one could understand what was going on. Even the Three Old People of the Yinyao department was stunned for a moment before saying: "But, Young Master Luo Tong, is there any difference between giving up and not going up the tower?

Of course.

Chu Xiao laughed, and then asked a strange question. Three Old People, could one not tell how many levels one had climbed for the last step, or whether the final step would be the highest?

Hm?

This sentence was weird, causing everyone to be surprised: The two levels that Young Master Luo Tong mentioned, aren't they the same thing?

Yinyao’s three elders was also startled, he silently said that there was no difference between the two, so he wanted to say how many levels they had climbed, but … However, Elder Lou noticed that Chu Xiao had made a subtle gesture towards him, and immediately spoke out first: Blame me for not explaining clearly! Mm. The final result will depend on which stage you reached!

Chu Xiao looked at Elder Lou and nodded slowly. He understood that Elder Lou was trying to agree with him. Although Elder Lou might not even understand the difference between the two, he would still agree with him first!

As a matter of fact, under normal circumstances, the number of levels you've climbed would basically be the same as the maximum number of levels you've climbed. because this tower climbing ceremony doesn't allow you to climb again and again... However, in one situation, in an extremely special situation, the difference between the two would be shocking!

And what Chu Xiao wanted was to create this special situation. For this reason, he needed to get the Elder Lou to explain the rules clearly in advance so that no one else would target him for this afterwards!

Chu Xiao always did things flawlessly.

Now, everything was ready.

Then I will begin.

When Chu Xiao took a step forward, although Yinyao’s three elders was still confused, but after hearing what was said, he still quickly moved to the side. Everyone's attention was also focused on Chu Xiao, Zhu Duiyou and the others sneered incessantly, but their Luohou Division s and faces were filled with nervousness, and at the same time, faint anticipation.

Whoosh.

Chu Xiao took a few steps forward, and stood in front of the tower. As expected, he did not climb, but sat down cross-legged, and took a deep breath.

What was he planning to do?

No one knew how many times the same doubts were raised by the audience today: thinking about it would be interesting, they were obviously intelligent people, but against this Luo Tong, they were often unable to keep up with his train of thought!

But, it was not that they were weak, but Luo Tong's way of thinking, was too reckless!

This time was no exception!

Zhu Duiyou racked his brain, but he still could not think of how Luo Tong could surpass his results. Looking at Chu Xiao's attitude, the unease in his heart became even stronger, and he immediately turned to Yinyao’s three elders: Three seniors, this Luo Tong is obviously messing around, playing tricks on us! Let's not let him procrastinate any longer...

Everyone who ascended the pagoda would have an incense stick of time to burn, and since the incense had just been lit, I wish Young Master a moment of calm.

Elder Lou looked at him, causing Zhu Duiyou to be extremely furious. He thought to himself, you old fogey, you shouldn't have bribed me in the beginning! It was a waste to turn the tables on you after getting so many benefits!

Hateful!

Zhu Duiyou clenched his fists tightly, but he had no choice, he could only look at the incense, hoping that it would burn faster.

The time it takes an incense stick to burn slowly passed.

The wind howled, but other than that, there was no other movement …

Chu Xiao sat cross-legged as though he was in a meditation, isolating himself from the world!
