Chapter 332: 331 A lie without a flaw

The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King did not see the changes in the expressions of the members of the Shrek squad. Although they wore masks, subtle changes could still be discerned from the lower half of their faces that were visible. Unfortunately, there were none.Compared to the methods of using the three Array Plates, for the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King, the origins of the three Array Plates were undoubtedly of the utmost importance. Once it became clear that imitation was impossible, finding the source became the top priority.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang San said, "Lord of the Arena, to be honest, we cannot fully explain the origins of these three Array Plates. We received them when we happened to rescue an old man, who gave them to us." He had already prepared this story, just waiting for the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King's inquiry.

"An old man? A human?" the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King pressed.

Tang San nodded silently and said, "Yes, a human. He was injured at the time, very seriously. After we saved him and treated his injuries, he said he had nothing to repay us with, so he gave us these three Array Plates."

"Where is that old man now?" the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King's gaze was intense as he stared at Tang San, the fluctuations of Spiritual Power in his eyes clearly becoming stronger.

Tang San's expression suddenly became more wooden, as if speaking subconsciously, "We also don't know where he went. He only mentioned that he seemed to live near the Ancestral Court. He said if we had the chance to go to the Ancestral Court in the future, we might have the possibility of seeing him again."

"Ancestral Court?" Upon hearing Tang San's words, the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King fell into deep thought.

Tang San's explanation was simple, but it fit their identity perfectly. Not knowing was indeed the norm! And the Spirit Gathering Formation Disks were handed down from the Ancestral Court. A master of formation arrays living in the Ancestral Court was the path Tang San was suggesting. And it couldn't have been more logical.

The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King could not help but ask, "Do you mean to say that if you go to the Ancestral Court, there is a possibility of encountering him again?"

Tang San nodded and said, "After we received these three Array Plates, we learned how good they are. But we also knew that we couldn't keep such treasures safe. The old man said if we could see him again, he would give us more benefits. The Array Plates he gave were so miraculous, of course, we would want to receive this benefit. However, common human vassals are not allowed into the Ancestral Court unless they have noble status. That's why we came to participate in the team battle, hoping to gain noble status and have the chance to see the old gentleman again."

The most notable aspect of Tang San's words was that they were logical and completely in line with their current identity, also clarifying the origin of the three Array Plates.

It was easy to understand that the Ancestral Court had a powerful Array Master.

The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King was pondering what faction this Array Master belonged to. Which powerful race was he part of?

The appearance of the Spirit Gathering Formation Disks was somewhat sudden, but their function quickly became apparent. According to the information the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King had, these disks did not appear to come from any major family, but appeared directly on the market. This meant that the Array Master probably had no faction yet. It also knew that there were not a few who sought the origin of the Spirit Gathering Formation Disks! But there had always been no clues, and unexpectedly, this clue was now laid right before it.

As Tang San and the others said, it was not an easy thing for common human vassals to want to go to the Ancestral Court.

Seeing it lost in thought, Tang San, on the other hand, showed a face of bewilderment.

Half an hour later, the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King said, "Tell me how to use the Array Plate, and then you can go back first. You can also continue to participate in the competition. If there's any news about that old man, inform me at any time. You will definitely be rewarded."

For this matter, he needed to think it over carefully to see how to proceed in order to find the Array Master.

Compared to other races also searching, it believed it already had a certain advantage; at least it knew the Array Master was human and there was a clue to contact it. If this opportunity was grasped, the benefits and business opportunities that would follow were not trivial at all! So, it must be planned carefully.

The three hundred Elemental Coins naturally went to the Shrek squad. Du Bai explained the use of the Array Plate, and soon the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King had mastered it, after all, it was a God level strong with divine consciousness.

When the five of them walked out of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, even the always composed eldest brother was a bit excited. That was three hundred Elemental Coins! They had never seen so much money! They had really struck it rich this time.

From his conversation with the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King today, Tang San also picked up some information. His objective had been achieved as well.

The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King's coveting of the Array Plate was what Tang San needed, and he could plan around this in the future. At the same time, he discerned from the words of the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King today that the most difficult team fight would likely be the last one, which would surely involve facing a very powerful opponent. Winning without revealing his abilities wouldn't be easy. This would be a significant trial for their Shrek squad.

However, he had already given his information to the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King. As long as it was interested in the non-existent Array Master, it would surely ensure their safety. Even if they went to the Ancestral Court, they would have an extra layer of protection.

The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King completely trusted Tang San's words, even with its intelligence. The reason was simple: at its core, the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King still looked down on humans, so subconsciously, it would assume that an ordinary human vassal couldn't possibly have obtained something as powerful as an Array Plate. Although the invented Array Master was also human, living in the Ancestral Court made him different.

While Tang San didn't know what kind of humans lived in the Ancestral Court, he believed there must be humans there. Humans possessed higher intelligence, and within the vast human population, how could there not be a single sage? And as long as such a being existed, then there was a possibility of entering the Ancestral Court.

After six fights at the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, achieving six victories, they were getting closer to the noble title, and most importantly, Tang San had connected to the thread belonging to the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King. This would reduce much resistance for them in Jiali City, and even more so on their future trip to the Ancestral Court. Of course, this would only last until they returned from the Ancestral Court. Extending this thread wouldn't be difficult; just bring back at least one Array Plate from the Ancestral Court. And perhaps by that time, Pretty Girl would have finished her seclusion. It was serving Pretty Girl that Tang San was most willing to do!

In the following week, the Shrek squad fought three more team battles. Yes, they fought every other day. Three battles, three victories. Their opponents were either not strong enough or were perfectly countered by their abilities, so they managed to win without much danger. Nine battles, nine victories—a new unprecedented height in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena's team fights for humans.

The bias within the Grand Animal Fighting Arena allowed Tang San and the others to earn a fortune, and now they were just a step away from becoming nobles.

Inside Jiali City, the Shrek squad's reputation had reached such an extent that even the Peacock Demon Clan knew of them. Among humans, they were on the rise. Wherever there were humans, discussions about the Shrek squad could almost always be heard, showing their current importance to the humans of the entire Jiali City. They had practically become a symbol of spirit.

Now, all humans were discussing the potential outcomes of the tenth fight, wondering if they could earn the noble title through team battles, and even speculating about their opponents and the tactics that might be used.

And, at this time, the Shrek squad had fallen silent and temporarily disappeared.
