Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 173: The Last Feral

How is there another

Lan Yues action left the crowd speechless. Theyve seen favoritism to ones children before, but this was pushing it to extremes.

All found Lan Yues act disgraceful, but it was trumped by the curiosity to see Lin Qingrous visage.

A pity though, behind the silver mask was a medical mask that covered the entire face.

Lin Qingrou lightly picked the silver mask and put it right back on.

This girls so stingy. No fun at all! Lan Tianci nagged.

Shan Ji thumped his staff in anger, Vice-chief Lan, you may be leading the Experts Alliance for now, but we are from the Tiannan Provinces base!

Silver Heroine is our leaders goddaughter. Offending her is the same as offending the entire Tiannan base!

Its ok. Lin Qingrou spoke.

Its best you stop here, Vice-chief Lan, or you will have to answer to Tiannan bases leader!

Yeah, just let this go.

All asked for the matter to be dropped.

Lan Tianci stared at Lin Qingrou, putting the others on edge. One more word from him would make Lan Yue strike again, and thered be no going back from it this time.  

Thankfully, Lan Tiancis interest in Lin Qingrou waned.

Lin Qingrou passed Li Mo by a fraction, but she completely ignored him, without the slightest hesitation in her step.

They were classmates, true, but how could they be friends if theyve never even spoken to each other? Be it his past life or the current one, Lin Qingrou hardly ever attended classes. Even if by some miracle she did come, there was virtually zero interaction with the rest.

Calling her cold didnt quite fit. It was more along the lines of worlds apart.

With three ferals gathered in the Experts Alliance, problems are bound to crop up, more and more serious too. If the chief does not exit seclusion, I think the Experts Alliances name will keep plummeting.

Bai Wudi fanned himself behind Li Mo.

Whos the last feral?

He is even more mysterious than Silver Heroine, the one and only black-clothed man. He wrested the time-space trove from the hands of hundreds of experts.

Li Mo was amazed.

[So theres nothing great about Bai clans intelligence network. They found out Im a fourth level but nothing linking me to the black-clothed man.]

But there was no way in hell Li Mo was going to tell him that.

Jiang Qingxue, Shan Ji, Lin Qingrou, and the mysterious man in black. Each of these ferals has the power to aspire for the 2nd place on the Heaven Board.

Li Mo asked, 2nd? Why not 1st?

Bai Wudi explained, Because the 1st is Zhou Mengxian. In Chinas expert world, Zhou Mengxian is second to none!

Li Mo said, I heard your grandfather trained Bai clans fifth skill. Shouldnt he be Zhou Mengxians match?

Bai Wudi jumped in fright, darting his eyes everywhere.

D-dont spew nonsense.

Once he knew the coast was clear, Bai Wudi lowered his voice, Who told you?

This cant be a secret in the expert world, right?

Of course it is. Grandfather had been fanatic in his training and only attained the fifth skill four months ago. This is Bai clans most guarded secret. Even among my clan, few are those who know it. How then could an outsider?

Say it, who told you this?

I seem to recall him being you.

Me? When then hell could I have told you? Why cant I remember?

Did I have too much to drink that time and let it slip? Why dont I recall anything? Ill have to be more careful when I drink

Li Mo left Bai Wudi to his one devices.

He had to skip this nights magic weapon refining back home since Bai Wudi was sticking to him like glue.

Come tomorrow, in the weed overrun yard, the thirty base teams took their places as Lan Yue stepped up the podium to declare the official start of his years testing.

The Expert Testing Grounds had very basic rules. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird blocks were formed through drawing lots. The participants would face each other among those blocks, and the final four would fight over for the championship.

With the drawing finished, Li Mo ended in the fourth stage, having picked four.

The first match was between Shenjings Frozone, Sun Wei, and Xixiangs Jiang Qingxue. 

A crowd instantly formed when the first match would be with a seeded contestant.

Jiang Qingxue wore traditional Miao clothing. She bore a striking resemblance to her sister, Jiang Qingshuang, practically twins as they stood abreast. 

Sun Wei made a habit of keeping that indecent stance. Not because he was an addict, but it was the only way for keeping the cold at bay from burrowing into his body.

Begin!

The referee gave the signal and Jiang Qingxues first move was to step down.

Where are you going?

A forfeit?

No way, how can a feral admit defeat without even fighting?

It makes no sense.

Not just the spectators, but even Sun Wei was floored. He watched Jiang Qingxues back for a good while before coming to his senses and snicker, Missy must be scare Id be milking her dry 

Pff~

Sun Weis neck gushed blood before he could finish and collapsed with eyes wide opened.

What happened?

How

I-is this the power of a feral?

One hit nailed Frozone Sun Wei!

Jiang Qingxue display caused widespread shock.

Do you know what happened? No~? Then do you want to? Bai Wudi fanned himself as he teased Li Mo.

But Li Mo was still as a statue, his words hitting nothing. 

Dont you wanna know what Jiang Qingxue did just now?

Silence.

Y-youre so boring!

Fine, I give. Jiang Qingxues barely perceptible insects flew on Sun Wei. The wound from this insect is hard to heal and once it bit his neck, blood gushed. Do you get it now?

Utter silence.

Youre no fun, not one bit Bai Wudi shook his head.

Chuan Provinces base Wang Jian versus Mobei Provinces base Overreaching Sage Zhang Ji!

Of the second match, Li Mo never heard of Wang Jian, but he was quite familiar with Overreaching Sage Zhang Ji.

Well, he did kinda follow Li Mo around throwing all kinds of insults at him.

On stage, Zhang Ji asked Wang Jian, Whats your level?

Second level body expert. You?

First level body expert. Im just visiting. Please take it easy on me! Zhang Ji was very courteous.

Begin!

Heres my jab!

Zhang Ji shouted as he struck with just that, a jab. Wang Jian lightly slipped out of its way, but the oddest thing happened. Zhang Jis fist stretched and grabbed Wang Jians neck, smashing him on the ground. 

Zhang Jis Overreaching Sage title wasnt without meaning. His gift allowed his hand to stretch and change shape.

Wang Jian wasnt privy to this miscellaneous info, losing because of it. 

Zhang Ji hit him so hard that Wang Jian was frothing at the mouth, knocked out cold.

It was such toil, ha-ha-ha. Truly a hard match.

Zhang Ji cupped his hands.
