Chapter 895: Wine and Dine
Xiao Jian smiled coldly and said, “It seems that this guy is nervous. He took out his magic treasure as soon as he came up.”
According to the rules of the competition, everyone could freely use weapons and magic treasures as long as no one died.
Murong Jinghong’s eyebrows furrowed. “What kind of magic treasure is that?” She had never seen one like it before.
They didn’t know what it was. The contestants on the stage were even more confused about what kind of magic treasure it was. Seeing him suddenly taking out such a big object, they were nervous and retreated one after another.
Right at this moment, someone had already started to move, taking advantage of the opportunity to strike and perform their own strokes…
For a moment, the whole playground was in chaos. However, these people knew their own limits even if they wanted to fight. They kept a distance from Qin Haodong and the other two. No one dared to take a step forward.
After all, most of them were at the stage of the Apotheosis Realm. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not provoke these three people.
The Little Witch approached Qin Haodong and asked curiously, “Little brother, what are you doing?”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “It’s boring to stay anyway. Let’s make something delicious!”
“Good! Great! I like delicious food the most.”
The Little Witch couldn’t help sticking out her tongue to lick her delicate red lips and desperately swallow her saliva.
Under everyone’s gazes, Qin Haodong took out the prepared lamb kebabs and chicken wings from his Storage Ring and put them in the oven. Then he flicked down a stream of fire and ignited the charcoal in the oven.
“What is this guy doing? Isn’t this the competition site? Why is he roasting chicken wings?”
The person who spoke was another Associate Director sitting next to Luo Dongqing. His name was Hai Zhengming.
Luo Dongqing said, “Let it go. In any case, our competition’s rules do not prohibit barbequing. He can do whatever he wants.”
Fang Qiong’er was surprised at first. Then she smelled the fragrance of the barbecue. She couldn’t help sniffing and said, “It smells so good!”
Yun Qianqian said, “Doctor Qin’s cooking is as excellent as his medical skills. I will never forget what he cooked.”
“It really looks delicious.” Fang Qiong’er looked at the roasted chicken wings in Qin Haodong’s hand and couldn’t help salivating. She didn’t look like an icy goddess at all at this moment.
If not for the fact that the competition was going on and the spectators were forbidden from entering the playground, she might have already rushed inside.
“Oh, I can’t believe my Senior Brother has such excellent cooking skills. I must go to his place to eat when I have time.”
Yun Qianqian also said, “I’ll go too!”
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Yulong couldn’t help but ridicule, “This guy is really facetious. Everyone is competing but he is busy roasting chicken wings.”
Murong Jinghong said, “Didn’t you notice that this is also a manifestation of strength? If it were anyone else, would he have the chance to sit there and roast wings leisurely?”
“Uh…”
Xiao Yulong was speechless for a while. It was true. Qin Haodong’s team of three completely relied on their strength to deter other opponents. No one dared to harass them. Otherwise, how would they have time to roast meat?
The other people on the stage were in a fierce fight. However, these three people gathered around the oven and the two little girls drooled continuously as they waited for the food.
“Little brother, are you done roasting? My mouth is watering!” the Little Witch looked at the golden chicken wings and said.
“Okay! This is for you!”
Qin Haodong gave Zhao Xingyue and the Little Witch one roasted chicken wing each. Then he began to turn the kebabs. The smell in the playground was getting stronger.
At that moment, a student fell through the air.
“Get out of my way. Don’t disturb me.”
The Little Witch waved her hand impatiently and the person was directly blown away again. Even if she didn’t use her summoning skill, she was still the master at the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm. Ordinary students couldn’t compare to her at all.
After driving the man away, the Little Witch took the chicken wing and ate it in big mouthfuls. “Yummy. So delicious. Little brother, your cooking skills are amazing!”
“It tastes better with this.”
Qin Haodong said as he took out a can of beer and threw it to her. Then he threw a can of Sprite to Zhao Xingyue and ate the kebab while drinking beer.
“What the hell are they eating? Look very delicious!”
“What are they drinking? Looks great and smells good!”
Originally, everyone came to see the freshmen competition, but as a result, everyone’s eyes were drawn to Qin Haodong. Everyone sniffed the smell of barbecue, kept swallowing saliva, and wondered what they were drinking.
Although the freshmen competition was not over yet, they had become the focus of the whole competition.
Luo Dongqing bitterly said, “This brat didn’t bring out such delicious food to entertain me. Then there is that wine, it smells pretty good…”
Others were fighting hard but Qin Haodong was just eating and drinking. About an hour later, the competition was finally over. There were only 16 teams and 48 contestants left in the playground.
However, the other people were either sweating or injured. Only Qin Haodong was eating and drinking happily.
Seeing that the competition was over, they too were done eating and drinking. Qin Haodong put away his things and waited for the referee to announce the next stage.
Seeing that they were full, the other team members were envious. They were all participating in the competition, but why was there such a big gap between them?
The next stage was the team elimination. 16 teams were going to draw lots to fight. The loser would be directly eliminated. However, since they had entered the top 16, everyone would get a bonus.
As one of the top academies in the Lingwu Continent, the Tortoise Academy was very good at organizing competitions. After the lots were drawn, the playground was immediately divided into eight arenas for the next round.
Those who could win in this chaotic battle must have a certain strength. The three members in the team who would compete with Qin Haodong’s team had all reached the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm.
When Qin Haodong entered the academy, he became the new king because he was at the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm. Now, Qin Haodong’s three opponents were at the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm. It could be seen that the cultivations of these students had greatly improved within a month.
The leader of the team was called Duan Bailian. Not only was his cultivation high, but his skills were also excellent. After getting on the stage, he stared at Qin Haodong and said, “Boy, I heard that you are the new king of this year. I want to see how strong you are.”
“How dare you ask my little brother to fight with you?”
The Little Witch glanced at the three people disdainfully. The light blue crystal ball was held in her palm. The Gate of Life slowly opened in the hexagram.
In terms of reputation, the Little Witch was absolutely the most famous in the Tortoise Academy. She was even more famous than her grandpa, Luo Dongqing.
Every year in the freshmen competition, there were many students who came to watch the competition because of her. A powerful old student who could not upgrade for four years in a row was quite a show-stopper.
In addition, the Little Witch’s cute appearance and devilish figure attracted countless male students.
Everyone was interested mainly in her Gate of Life. Her uncertain summoning skill became one of the highlights. It was always suspenseful.
Thus, when the Gate of Life opened, everyone’s attention was focused on what kind of magical beast she could summon.
“Come out, my babies!”
Following the Little Witch’s summoning, a few dark figures rushed out from the Gate of Life like the wind.
The magical beasts she had summoned landed on the ground. Looking like dogs, their eyes were blood-thirsty and they revealed their white fangs.
“Gale Wolves! Oh, My God! The Little Witch summoned five Gale Wolves at one go!”
“Gale Wolves are sixth-level magical beasts. There are five Gale Wolves. The masters at the stage of the Voiding Realm can’t even defeat them…”
Seeing the five Gale Wolves, everyone had already guessed the result of the competition.
He Kaishan stomped his feet angrily and cursed, “Damn it. How could she summon five of them?”
Murong Jinghong said, “It seems that Qin Haodong doesn’t need to participate in this round of competition.”
Sure enough, when the three people led by Duan Bailian saw the five Gale Wolves, their faces immediately turned pale with fright.
A sixth-level magical beast was equivalent to the Strong at the stage of the Voiding Realm. The three of them probably wouldn’t even be able to defeat a Gale Wolf, let alone these five.
With a dangerous glint in their eyes, these Gale Wolves were about to pounce who came toward them. Duan Bailian quickly shouted out, “I admit defeat. We admit defeat in this round!”
After that, they were afraid that the Little Witch would not be able to stop the five magical beasts in time, so they turned around and jumped off the arena.
“Hehehe, with your abilities, you actually dare to challenge my little brother!”
The Little Witch giggled and then sent the five Gale Wolves back to the Gate of Life.
The referee went up to the arena and announced that Qin Haodong’s team had won the competition.
Fang Qiong’er said, “My Senior Brother is really amazing. He won this round of competition without needing to fight.”
Yun Qianqian smiled faintly and said, “Is this the legendary saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder? The one who defeated the opponents is the Little Witch, okay? Doctor Qin didn’t make a move at all. How can you tell how powerful he is?”
Fang Qiong’er glared at her and said, “It’s amazing he is able to keep the Little Witch in check, isn’t it? Apart from my Senior Brother, who else can make the Little Witch behave so well?”
Yun Qianqian nodded. “You’re right. I’ve never seen Luo Hongying so obedient.”
Although Qin Haodong hadn’t fought at all from beginning to end, he had become the focus of the scene. Therefore, most of the people’s eyes were focused on their team. Notwithstanding the freshmen competition was divided into eight arenas.
After a while, the battles at the seven other arenas were over. The top eight of this round were announced. After drawing lots again, Qin Haodong and the other two went back to the arena.
Seeing the three opponents standing in the arena, Qin Haodong couldn’t help smiling. It seemed that there was no need to fight again this time.
The three opponents in this round were led by Yun Xiang.
After getting Qin Haodong’s one Cultivation Pill last time, Yun Xiang’s cultivation had improved from the middle stage of the Apotheosis Realm to the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm.
In addition, his two members were also very powerful, so their team topped this competition and entered the top eight.
After seeing Qin Haodong, Yun Xiang smiled and said, “Brother-in-law, I originally wanted to enter the semifinals but I didn’t expect to meet you here. All right, I’ll admit defeat directly.
“Remember that you owe me a favor. Treat me and my sister to dinner.”
Among the three people, he was the leader. He informed his members and then said to the referee nearby, “We admit defeat in this round!”
All of a sudden, the audience burst into an uproar. They were not only shocked at Yun Xiang’s surrender without a fight but also shocked at the way he addressed Qin Haodong.
“Brother-in-law, what did he mean? Who did Yun Xiang call brother-in-law?”
“Are you out of your mind? Two of his three opponents are women. Who do you think he is calling brother-in-law?”
“Isn’t Yun Xiang Yun Qianqian’s brother? If he calls him brother-in-law, doesn’t that mean that Yun Qianqian is Qin Haodong’s woman?”
