325: The competition is over

Seeing Su Xiaobai return, everyone on the Great Zhou side looked excited.

Even Wang Ming, who usually didn't get along with him, couldn't help but feel a hint of joy in his heart at this moment.

"Phew..." Dongfang Qian Yue let out a light breath, her suspended heart finally settling down.

When that guy was courting death by challenging the Goat Demon to three questions, she really wished she could open his brain and see what was inside.

Did he not know what awaited him if he lost?!

But fortunately, he ultimately won.

At this moment, she felt Bing Ling next to her looking at her with a smile.

"Yue'er, since you're so worried about Xiaobai, why don't you have a good talk with him? Although he's a bit of a playboy, his feelings for you are genuine."

Dongfang Qian Yue's cheeks flushed slightly under the gaze, and she quickly turned her head away, "Who's worried about him! If he dares to take a second wife today, he'll dare to take a third tomorrow, and a fourth the day after!"

"If I'm not firm enough, he'll only become more unrestrained, and eventually, he'll really end up with a harem full of wives and concubines like a tyrant!"

Bing Ling was stunned; she had thought Yue'er was just temporarily angry, but it turned out she was actually playing the long game, using this to curb Xiaobai's philandering ways.

However, this was understandable; Xiaobai was currently at the height of his fame, and there were certainly many girls who secretly liked him, so Yue'er inevitably felt a sense of crisis.

But she also didn't understand these palace intrigues; seeing her two Disciples safe and sound, she, as their Revered Master, was already very satisfied.

At this moment, the Empress's majestic voice resounded throughout the arena.

"Hongye Demon King, take your Yao Race back to the Southern Demon Kingdom and tell the Southern Demon Emperor that I accept these two Secluded Heaven slots."

Hongye Demon King's face was as ugly as if he had eaten excrement; in truth, the Yao Race was only slightly inferior to the Human Race this time.

But the crucial point was that the few rounds they lost were complete routs, utterly crushed!

Especially that Su Xiaobai, he was simply too much of a bully!

First, he gave the old Goat Demon hope of victory, then he dragged him down to rock bottom and humiliated him severely, truly more demonic than a demon!

"Hmph! Let's go!"

He had no mood to stay here any longer; although he still wanted to play mahjong again, he was even more terrified of His Majesty the Demon Emperor's wrath.

"Wait." The Empress suddenly called out to stop them.

"Hmm? Your Human Race has already won, what else is there?"

"Make sure to send the tribute, which has tripled this year, as soon as possible. Don't forget." The Empress emphasized, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Hongye Demon King's forehead veins bulged; this woman could have stated it at the beginning, but she deliberately emphasized the tribute at this moment, clearly to humiliate his Yao Race!

Truly a wolf in sheep's clothing!

"Go!"

He flicked his sleeve, taking the remaining Yao Race and the half-dead Goat Demon, and disappeared into the Void Realm.

And with the Yao Race's departure, this grand competition between the two countries officially concluded.

The crowd below erupted in overwhelming cheers.

On the other side.

Su Xiaobai felt that his recently Breakthrough Realm was showing a clear trend of further growth.

A slight smile played on his lips, "It seems the effect is surprisingly good, it wasn't in vain that I went to such great lengths to show off."

The power of Luck within him was related to the reverence of the common people; the more the common people admired and respected him, the faster his strength would grow.

He could have easily defeated the Goat Demon, but he deliberately chose the riskiest method, because this way he could maximize the reverence he gained from the common people.

Although the result of failure could very well be ruin and disgrace, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Judging by the extent of this growth, he might not be far from breaking through to the First Realm (Peak).

Even the tyrant from back then probably didn't have such terrifying growth speed, right?

And while everyone was cheering in unison, one person was huddled in a corner, his face incomparably gloomy.

Wang Ming clenched his fists, gritting his teeth in secret, cursing these useless Yao Race in his heart.

At the same time, he also began to truly take Su Xiaobai seriously.

Originally, he thought he was just a dog raised by Lin Yao, but ever since this fellow became an official, he had repeatedly ruined his good deeds.

Moreover, the speed of his Realm growth terrified him; he broke through to the First Realm just like that.

Now that he had obtained two Secluded Heaven slots, if Su Xiaobai broke through to the Second Realm, then he would have absolutely no chance!

The clan side would also no longer support him, but would instead completely side with Lin Yao.

After all, the Second Realm was already the Great Zhou's Peak combat power; they wouldn't make enemies with two Second Realm powerhouses of unlimited potential for his sake.

"This Su Xiaobai must be eliminated!" A malicious glint flashed in his eyes.

...

Soon, the news of the victory in the grand competition between the two countries quickly spread throughout the entire Great Zhou.

This was undoubtedly heartening.

The Human Race had once been unable to lift its head under the oppression of the Yao Race, until Moye Chen led troops in the South Campaign twenty years ago, gradually opening up the situation.

But even so, people still had a strong sense of inferiority in their hearts, filled with fear of the Yao Race.

And now, the victory in the grand competition between the two countries greatly boosted people's self-confidence.

Moreover, an even more important point was that they discovered that all four rounds won in the competition were related to Commander Su!

Ling Xiao, who won the first round for the Human Race, was Commander Su's Junior Brother.

Oriental Girl, who peeled off the wolf demon's skin, was Commander Su's wife.

And Bing Ling, who evened the final score, was actually Commander Su's Revered Master.

As for the final decisive round, Commander Su utterly crushed the Goat Demon, hailed as the most intelligent of the Yao Race, with an overwhelming display of power.

In so many of the rounds won, Commander Su was behind the scenes directing the overall situation!

This caused Su Xiaobai's prestige to spread throughout the nation once again.

He was now like a celebrity in his previous life, having to wear sunglasses and a mask when walking on the street.

Of course, besides this, they also discovered a shocking secret: whether it was Su Xiaobai, or his Senior Sister and Junior Brother, they all came from the same Sect!

The Xuan Sect of Desolate Continent!

This branch of the Xuan Yue Dao Sect in Desolate Continent had unexpectedly cultivated so many Prodigies, leaving people dumbfounded.

But just as they were preparing to seek knowledge at the Xuan Yue Dao Sect, they suddenly heard that Commander Su and his wife had once suffered bullying from the Xuan Yue Dao Sect Leader's son.

Ultimately, the two were forced to leave their hometown and join the Ghost Gate Demon Sect.

And Ling Xiao and Bing Ling also left the Xuan Sect due to their dissatisfaction with the Xuan Yue Dao Sect's high-level practices.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately showed disdain and resolutely gave up the idea of joining the Xuan Yue Dao Sect.

Such a shameless, power-abusing Sect was better off not joined!

Even some internal Disciples of the Xuan Yue Dao Sect felt deeply ashamed, and large numbers of Disciples submitted letters of resignation, wanting to leave the Xuan Yue Dao Sect.

Wang Ming's face twitched with anger, and he cursed Su Xiaobai all day long in his room.

In the evening, Su Manor.

Today, Su Manor was exceptionally lively.

Dongfang Qian Yue, Bing Ling, and Ling Xiao had all arrived.

The maids in the manor were busy preparing tea and fruit.

"Revered Master, Senior Sister, Ling Xiao, please wait a moment, the barbecue will be ready soon."

Su Xiaobai held two skewers in his hands, flipping them back and forth over the charcoal fire with great skill.

White Flower smiled as she served tea to Bing Ling, saying:

"The Saint usually doesn't cook personally; it's only because of the arrival of Bing Ling Peak Lord and Young Hero Ling Xiao that we are fortunate enough to eat something made by the Saint."

Bing Ling took the tea, nodding with a smile.
