Chapter 548: Chapter 367: The Last One_1
On the platform of the Jumang Daoist Academy, Zong Zi looked concerned and asked Wenren Xuewei beside him.
“No, I just wanted to form a positive connection.”
Wenren Xuewei’s puzzling statement was left unanswered by Zong Zi. If it was not for other reasons that they couldn’t arrive, then it was not a concern for them as the organizers.
“President, the time is almost up.”
Upon hearing Zhuang Jialan’s words in his ear, Chen Mobai took out his phone to check the time.
It was four fifty in the afternoon.
The discussion was set from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon, and there was only ten minutes left for the final day.
Chen Mobai frowned slightly, he did not believe that Pei Qingshuang was avoiding the battle, but why was she not coming?
However, now was not the time to think about these things. Since he was here today, he had to do something. Without Pei Qingshuang, he could directly challenge the previously overlooked chief of the Jumang Daoist Academy.
“Elder Zong, I wonder if you could come down for some guidance?”
Chen Mobai was still concerned about the achievement of suppressing the chief students of the three main Daoist academies. Seeing no sign of Pei Qingshuang, he simply challenged Zong Zi directly.
“I am not a match, consider this my loss.”
Zong Zi did not care about his reputation. After accepting Chen Mobai’s invitation, he simply admitted defeat, perfectly completing Chen Mobai’s series of offline discussions in the Daoist Academy.
The time soon came to the last minute.
But Pei Qingshuang still did not appear.
“This competition officially ends here. The first place in the group category goes to the Dance Tool Dao Academy!”
When the five o’clock bell rang, Zong Zi, as the host, stood up and announced the ranking scores.
With Chen Mobai and Bian Jingchun, all at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, Dance Tool Dao Academy would be doing something horribly wrong if they didn’t secure the first place.
Except for the group first, the individual first place, which carries the most weight and acknowledgment in the door of the immortals, still goes to the Dance Tool Dao Academy.
“The individual first place will receive a cup of Enlightenment Tea provided by my Jumang Daoist Academy. Chen, the chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, I will come to pick you up for your reward tomorrow.”
When Zong Zi’s voice fell, everyone was discussing with envy in their voices.
However, Chen Mobai’s Magic Duel capabilities were indeed unparalleled, and everyone agreed that giving the Enlightenment Tea to him was a fair move.
“I can’t believe it’s Enlightenment Tea, I didn’t expect that Jumang Daoist Academy could offer such a great thing this time.”
Bian Jingchun showed a longing look upon hearing about the reward.
Even a Gold Core Real Person would covet this. There were still many places in her Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture where minor modifications were needed to make it more suitable for her Spiritual Root and constitution. If Enlightenment Tea could assist her, it would save her at least a decade.
At this moment, Zong Zi also announced two other awards, the Dalit Flower and Return to Spring Dew, which also fueled envy.
The Dalit Flower was originally for Pei Qingshuang but because she didn’t come today and her discussions were less than ten, she lost her eligibility, and the item was given to Wenren Xuewei who came in second.
The third place goes to Qi Huanzhi of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute.
Among the top ten in the Foundation List, Xiahou Weihuan and Lou Fengcheng stopped participating in the discourse after losing to Chen Mobai, like Pei Qingshuang, and they automatically gave up the reward.
However, Jumang Daoist Academy also prepared another consolation prize for the remaining real cultivators in the top ten.
Everyone received a Rank-2 Wood Spiritual Talisman.
This Wood Spiritual Talisman, once worn, can work continuously, adding 5 points to the user’s Wood Spirit Root.
“The effect of the talisman can be maintained for approximately thirty years.”
Zhuang Jialan, a Rank-2 Talisman Maker, examined the Wood Spiritual Talisman in Bian Jingchun’s hand and gave her verdict.
“That’s still pretty good.”
Chen Mobai muttered casually, his gaze involuntarily shifted to Wenren Xuewei. A Rank-5 talisman might let the cultivator possess a Heavenly Wood Spirit Root.
“Pei Qingshuang is here!”
Just as everyone was about to leave, a tall and slender figure slowly walked over. With sharp eyebrows and a vigorous pace, it was Pei Qingshuang.
Seeing her approaching, everyone gasped with surprise.
Why does she arrive only after it’s over?
While people were discussing, Pei Qingshuang landed on the surface of the lake, stepped into a circular ring, and then unlocked her Qing Shuang Sword from her waist.
Her hand loosened the grip on her sword, and the sword miraculously stood erect in the air.
“I apologize; the time it took to lift the seal exceeded my expectations.”
Pei Qingshuang was dressed in a dark green military uniform. The tight, deep green pants matched the knee-high black boots, accentuating her round and long legs.
“Pei, the time is already up.”
On the platform of the Jumang Daoist Academy, Zong Zi had to remind her politely. As the host, he needed to make sure everything followed the rules.
“I know; since I didn’t catch up with the time, let’s consider that I lost the discussion.”
Many people silently agreed with Pei Qingshuang’s statement. In the immortal door, everyone respects the rules.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Now, I want to challenge Chen, the Chairman of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, in my personal capacity.”
At this moment, Pei Qingshuang suddenly made a statement that shocked everyone.
Instantly, everyone’s eyes were on Chen Mobai.
They all believed that with his confidence and pride after winning the Magic Duel, he would surely accept this challenge.
So, they could still witness the peak duel today.
“I decline.”
However, to everyone’s surprise, Chen Mobai flatly refused.
“Why?”
