Chapter 124 The Kid Who Sulked After Losing Two Games
"Don't be surprised. The space and time here are distorted. Two years is just what you perceive. And, how should I put it, don't you think it's cool?" Zu Chuan Chuan flicked his hair and continued, "Actually, there's no need to dwell on this issue. Ultimately, it's a matter of perception. I have some influence on you. I even tried to stop you before you came. You came in before me, but I got here before you."
"Perhaps it's because of his magical cultivation, but I don't really think so."
"I came here because a voice told me to fight, so what do you need me to do?" Mu Bai asked.
The disordered time... It's an interesting place, but for now, there seems to be no danger.
"Well, let me tell you about this. This duel is dangerous, but you won't die from it, so you can rest assured," Zu Chuan said.
Seeing that Mu Bai's expression had softened, he continued, "I'm not sure about the method of the duel; that can only be known before the competition begins. No one has been able to steal that kind of information yet, but I can tell you about my opponent."
Zu Chuan smiled mysteriously, then lowered his voice: "The one opposite is an unparalleled beauty, a top student from the ancient capital's academy, an ice-type, I think her name is Mu Qianjin."
Mu Bai: "..."
"Is that competition mandatory? Can't we have a different opponent?" Mu Bai asked. What was going on? How did he end up facing off against Mu Qianjin as soon as he came in?
He wasn't showing any mercy to the woman, but rather thinking that since Mu Qianjin was a girl, he should be more accommodating and didn't want her to get hurt.
Mu Bai doesn't have the habit of showing deference to beautiful women, not out of courtesy, but because Mu Bai can't beat Mu Qianjin.
They didn't die after returning from Helan Mountain; they'll still have a sparring session after a while.
There weren't many people who came back. Green Brother was busy researching new totems and his cultivation level didn't increase at all. So, only Mu Qianjin and Mu Bai were left, and they both knew about ice magic.
It's great for two ice-type players to spar; they can discover their own weaknesses and learn from each other's strengths.
Then Mu Bai and Mu Qianjin practiced many times, but Mu Bai never won. The opponent's ice was too powerful, and Mu Bai could not match its speed.
Mu Bai also knew that Mu Qiannian had been providing Mu Qianjin with ice-type resources, and all kinds of them. He never dared to dream that he could beat Mu Qianjin; he just wanted to lose in a way that wasn't too bad.
"No, I can't beat Miss Mu," Mu Bai said immediately.
This needs to be agreed upon beforehand, otherwise you'll still lose even if you go up there, so it's not worth it and would just be a waste of energy.
"Hmm...it can't be changed," Zu Chuan said.
Then he took out a red crystal ball and tossed it to Mu Bai, saying, "Take a look at this when you have time. The match is in three days, so you can take the opportunity to learn about your opponents."
"Mu Qianjin has only been here for a year, but she has already scared many of the older members. Our camp has suffered a rather crushing defeat. Perhaps it's because Lao Da saw that you were strong enough that he brought you over," Zu Chuan explained.
"We're not simply comparing magic. If that were the case, I, a high-level mage, could easily defeat a mid-level mage. Why would I be afraid?"
"Alright." Mu Bai was somewhat helpless, but he had no choice but to accept it. He had already agreed, so he had to agree now.
The ancient tombs look quite realistic; the architecture is very retro and dilapidated, but there are still some good things about them.
Apart from the two main palaces being extremely luxurious, the rest of the buildings are pretty much the same.
The main palace consists of two large prison cells; no one else is allowed to live there, nor are they allowed to wander around there unless there is something to do.
People from both sides live in dilapidated mud houses down below. Although they are very run-down, they are better than nothing. They may complain when they first arrive, but they get used to it after a while.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that we're on two different sides. This is actually just two prisons forcibly separating us. We're all mages from the ancient capital, some are military mages and some are hunter mages. Of course, we've resisted, but it's all been for nothing. Information can't get out from here. We hope the authorities can send some capable people over." Zu Chuan said with some emotion. As a super-level mage, he had fallen to such a state that he even needed someone else to save his life.
That was so embarrassing.
I'm so unwilling to accept this.
"Brother Legend, another newcomer has arrived." On the way, a handsome bald man with delicate features greeted Zu Chuanshuo, then looked at Mu Bai with a somewhat dazed expression, as if he recognized Mu Bai.
Seeing Mu Bai's puzzled expression, the handsome bald man with delicate features extended his hand and smiled, "Mu Bai, I know him. I went to the entrance ceremony of the Ancient Capital Academy a few years ago."
Mu Bai suddenly realized that it was at that time, but he didn't have much of an impression of the bald handsome man. It must have been that the other party had only seen Mu Bai.
"This is He Li. The one outside is a high-level mage of two different systems. He's quite famous. His alma mater is the Ancient Capital Academy. He's currently in the Red Prison University area, and his status is among the highest." At this crucial moment, Zu Chuanshuo stepped forward to explain.
"We're from the Blue Prison, and the other side is from the Red Prison. Just like I said before, our relationship is actually quite normal. Although the two prison leaders aren't very bright, they haven't hurt anyone yet. At most, they just have a few minor temper tantrums."
Mu Bai nodded, meaning that apart from the two leaders, there were no enemies here; everyone below them was an enemy.
If it's an evil mage, then so be it; most of them actually don't want to fight and want to leave this ancient tomb.
Although it's a time distortion, their distance is very real, which is extremely painful.
What happened in the outside world took only a few days, but for them it took several years. Most people couldn't endure it. They were just mages who were good at dealing with demons, but they were still human. It would be very difficult for them to bear it.
"Is it someone that was found by such a powerful force again?" He Li smiled.
Zu Chuan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, which puzzled Mu Bai. Had something happened in the past?
Seeing that Bread looked a little confused, He Li explained, "After your prison leader lost the last competition, he's been resentful and spends his days wandering around outside, grabbing anyone he encounters to work as a laborer. Including you, there are now 20 of them. However, he hasn't won against any of the previous ones, which is making him furious. There are hardly any of you left in your camp who dare to go to the main palace."
Mu Bai was speechless. Why did this boss sound like a child, unable to accept defeat and always wanting to rematch, only to keep losing?
After losing dozens of games, he started to sulk and would take it out on anyone he met.
This……
It's difficult to describe, I can't give a proper evaluation.
"Hehe." Mu Bai didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh awkwardly twice, but the congratulatory gift was still somewhat useful.
Regardless of what the competition is about, Mu Qianjin is very powerful, there is no doubt about that. Winning twenty rounds is no small feat, so he will probably have a hard time winning.
After realizing that his life was no longer in danger, Mu Bai felt that winning or losing didn't matter.
