Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 711: Chapter 146: One-Sided Arena Battle (Third Update)

The division into four parts seems beneficial; the team previously ranked third now gets 20%. One might think they should secretly rejoice since it’s half more than before.

However, times change, and the top spot doesn’t always belong to one family.

With three families taking turns, the losses incurred this time will eventually be recouped.

Once the decision to divide into four is made, it means everyone is equal thereafter, and previous losses can’t be regained.

To say it doesn’t hurt would be a lie.

It’s just to win over Mu Qingge, this Holy Level Refiner, that they’ve had to resort to this. The main reason being, none of the three families have the certainty of winning the arena competition.

So, after much contemplation and internal conflict, they gritted their teeth and accepted this fair division.

Yet, with Mu Qingge’s single statement, ’It’s too unfair for everyone!’ everything came to a halt.

In the end, the arena match resumed, and under the contention of four families, the benefits shifted; the first place would have a 40% share, the second 30%, the third 20%, and the last only 10%!

Is it unfair? Of course it’s fair!

If you don’t want to take just 10%, then use your strength to seize more!

Winning first place allows you to enjoy 40% exclusively, how tempting is that?

Interests tempt the heart; they are adventurers at heart, willing to take risks under the lure of profit!

Consequently, the originally agreed strategy was dismissed by Mu Qingge’s words. Just after noon, the Floating Guest clan began their intense preparations, setting up the arena.

The arena competition is not complicated, spanning three days, with each of the four teams sending ten participants.

There are four arenas, each defended by one person. The other nine will attack; a successful attack earns one point, and a successful defense earns two. Within the three days, teams can freely allocate who attacks and who defends.

After three days, the team with the highest points is the first place winner, and the one with the least points is fourth.

By the second day, the four arenas were already built, with flags on poles representing different Floating Guest teams. The arena, set up in Tianping City, immediately attracted millions of Floating Guests from the city.

”There’s good entertainment to watch today!”

”I told you, with Dragon Teeth entering Tianping City for the first time, how could the other three families let go of their interests easily?”

”Looks like this arena match will be a fierce battle!”

”Exactly! A few days ago, I was planning to take on a task and leave Tianping City, but luckily, I didn’t. Otherwise, I would have missed this spectacle.”

”Look, that young man in red, must be the true master of Dragon Teeth, right?”

”Where?”

”What are you looking at? It’s that incredibly beautiful young man, whose appearance is so flawless and exquisite that it’s hard to distinguish gender, walking towards the central stand.”

”Oh, oh, I see him, I see him!”

”It’s definitely Mu, the City Lord. The other day when Dragon Teeth entered the city, I saw him.”

Mu Qingge lifted the hem of her robe and sat in the center stand. Immediately, someone placed hot tea and snacks on the table beside her chair.

Mu Qingge looked up and saw a young maid with delicate and pure features shyly looking at her. As their eyes met, the maid blushed even more and lowered her gaze.

”Thank you,” Mu Qingge said politely.

The maid replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s, shyly saying, ”No need to thank me, City Lord. It’s my duty. My name is...”

”Qingge.” Before the maid could finish introducing herself, a charming voice interrupted.

She lifted her watery eyes to see a stunning woman in a white dress with a cold and enchanting demeanor walking towards them.

Bai Xi climbed onto the stand, immediately walked up to Mu Qingge, linked arms with her, and casually looked at the maid, her voice both bewitching and childlike, ”This sister is...”

”I... I’m just a maid from the Floating Guest clan.” After speaking, she timidly glanced at Mu Qingge, but seeing that she wasn’t paid any attention, she dejectedly retreated.

Watching her leave, Bai Xi snorted and playfully scolded Mu Qingge, ”How long was I gone, and you’ve attracted another woman.”

Mu Qingge innocently shrugged, ”I clearly did nothing!”

Bai Xi rolled her eyes as if saying, ’I don’t believe you.’

Mu Qingge had no choice and didn’t continue explaining, instead asking, ”What did you find?”

”The vein runs deep, and even after hundreds of years of extraction, there’s still much left. I suspect if we continue mining, it might yield Advanced Spirit Stones.” Bai Xi whispered in her ear, which from a distance made them look like affectionate lovers.

Mu Qingge’s eyes lit up, a playful smile emerging, ”It seems we must put in the effort this time.”

Bai Xi nodded.

At this moment, Xuan Yue and his two companions arrived, sitting on other chairs. Seeing Mu Qingge arrive with beauty, they gave them a knowing ’man’s understanding’ smile.

Mu Qingge felt creeped out by their look, internally complaining, ’What’s this nonsense!’

Bai Xi, however, was happy to be misunderstood this way, clinging even closer to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge thought a moment, then saw Mo Yang approaching with ten Dragon Tooth Guards, and she beckoned him over.

Mo Yang immediately stepped forward, cupping his hands, ”Young Lord.”

Mu Qingge nodded slightly and told him, ”This time in the ring, you personally go up and defend. If you fail, I’ll hold you accountable.”

With this simple statement, Mo Yang realized how seriously Mu Qingge regarded this arena match.

Although he didn’t understand what had caused the Young Lord to change her previously nonchalant attitude, it didn’t stop him from obeying Mu Qingge’s command.

”Yes, Young Lord!” Mo Yang accepted the order and went back to adjust the deployment of Dragon Teeth’s combatants near their ring.

Soon, the ten participants from Xuan Yue, Bailian, and Giant Spirit were also present.

Mu Qingge’s gaze swept over them, noting the cultivation levels of these thirty individuals. They varied in age but all appeared older than the Dragon Tooth Guards, yet shared a similar Silver Realm cultivation level.

’Looks like these three families are also determined to win!’ Mu Qingge concluded inwardly.

Previously, they talked about dividing into four, treating everyone fairly. But in reality, once there’s room for competition, who wouldn’t give it their all?

Looking again at the three major leaders, although they seemed amiable on the surface, each of them was harboring their own thoughts.

Mu Qingge’s lips curved into an indiscernible, enigmatic smile, which vanished almost instantly without anyone noticing. The reason she proposed to continue using the old rules was that she felt the relationships among these three were too harmonious.

Four Heavenly Level Floating Guest teams, among which three were too close, was not a good phenomenon for Dragon Teeth.

Therefore, Mu Qingge opposed dividing them into four, primarily to disrupt their layer of harmony. Turning their alliance into competitive relationships would be the most stable and beneficial scenario for Dragon Teeth.

However, Bai Xi’s news made her take things more seriously. Since there was a possibility of advanced Spirit Stones appearing in the Spirit Stone Mine at Yu Yan Mountain, she naturally wanted to seize the largest share of the benefit!

With all the expected participants present, the steward of the Floating Guest Clan came forward, first bowing to those seated in the central stands, then turning to the public and saying loudly: ”Today is the arena battle of the four Heavenly Level teams. Everyone understands the rules, so I won’t elaborate. Each arena has a steward from the Floating Guest Clan responsible for scoring, ensuring everything is open and fair. Of course, everyone is welcome to supervise as well. Now, let’s welcome the defenders of the four arenas to the stage—!”

He prolonged the last note, raising the atmosphere.

From each of the four teams, a person stepped forward and stood on their respective team’s arena.

However, when Mo Yang stood on the Dragon Tooth Arena, it caused a commotion both on and off the stage.

”Isn’t that Commander Mo? Why is he personally on stage?”

”That’s right, that’s right! It’s Commander Mo. Almost everything regarding Dragon Teeth is managed by him. I didn’t expect him to personally step onto the stage for today’s competition.”

”I mean, with Commander Mo himself on stage, is Dragon Teeth out of people?”

Mo Yang’s appearance sparked lively discussions among the Floating Guests.

The other three commanders also looked at Mu Qingge with surprise.

The steward hesitated for a moment, walked up to Mo Yang’s side, and quietly confirmed, ”Commander Mo, are you personally defending the arena?”

Mo Yang nodded, ”I’m also a member of Dragon Teeth. What? Can’t I defend the arena?”

”No, no, no!” The steward waved his hands repeatedly, smiling awkwardly, ”I was just surprised.” He withdrew, secretly wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.

”City Lord Mu, why let Commander Mo take the stage personally?” Commander Xuan Yue asked Mu Qingge with a smile.

The other two also leaned in to listen, not wanting to miss Mu Qingge’s response.

Mu Qingge smiled faintly and said casually, ”Didn’t Mo Yang say he’s also a member of Dragon Teeth and wants to try his skills on stage? As his master, I couldn’t stop him.”

This answer was tantamount to saying nothing.

Commander Xuan Yue smiled, not pursuing further questions, though he felt somewhat heavy-hearted. Mo Yang’s participation was unexpected, and Mo Yang’s strength was rumored to be the highest among Dragon Teeth, but few had ever seen him in action.

This made Commander Xuan Yue’s confidence falter slightly.

’If Dragon Teeth is too aggressive, then securing second place is better than two and a half shares!’ Commander Xuan Yue pondered this and discreetly signaled the defender on the Xuan Yue Arena.

The person caught the signal and nodded slightly.

Such covert orders were also underway within the teams of Bailian and Giant Spirit.

This time, the three were not secretly collaborating but each aimed to secure top ranks, making others trail behind.

Mu Qingge, at the side, observed these undercurrents with a faint, fleeting smile at the corners of her mouth. This mutual competition, suspicion, and reservation were all very beneficial.

”Since there are no questions, let’s start and not waste time.” Mu Qingge crossed her legs, flicked her toes, and instructed the steward of the Floating Guest Clan.

Time is money, and she had not yet cultivated to the point of viewing money as dirt.

The steward looked at the other three, and seeing they had no objections, he declared loudly again, ”Begin!”

At his command, people began jumping onto the platforms of the other three arenas. Only the Dragon Tooth arena remained without anyone stepping up. Mo Yang, standing on the platform, furrowed his brow.

After a while, a member of the Giant Spirit Floating Guest team finally stepped onto the arena, his cultivation at the Silver Realm Second Layer. In age, he could almost be Mo Yang’s grandfather.

However, for cultivators, appearance and age are significantly different.

”Commander Mo, forgive my offense!” As soon as the person advanced, he cupped his fists toward Mo Yang.

Mo Yang extended a hand, his expression calm, ”Come on.”

The man’s eyes sharpened, and he swung his palm toward Mo Yang. The arena rules allowed only bare-handed combat, no weapons, to protect the lives of the Floating Guests and reduce friction between the major Floating Guest teams.

Bam!

The challenge had just begun when a figure was immediately blasted off the Dragon Tooth Arena, landing outside the platform. As for Mo Yang, he remained standing in the same spot, without moving a single step.

”Holy crap! One move!”

”He’s at the Silver Realm Second Layer, known for his prominence within Giant Spirit! To be blasted off with just one move?”

”I thought my eyes were playing tricks, but he really was defeated with one strike?”

”Commander Mo is just too cool!”

Mo Yang’s instant victory over his opponent drew gasps from the crowd.

He himself remained calm, without a hint of boasting.

The three leaders of Xuan Yue also changed their expressions, looking at Mu Qingge, who rested her chin on her hand, lazily watching the match, as though unimpressed by Mo Yang’s performance.

At that moment, on the other three arenas, people were also being sent flying off.

The crowd looked closely and was stunned.

Those being propelled off the platforms were not the challengers, but the defenders. And the attackers were all from Dragon Teeth.

Commander Bailian stood up abruptly, looking at the four platforms with a grim expression.

At this moment, on all four platforms stood only members of Dragon Teeth.

”Dragon Teeth is too awesome!”

”Absolutely beyond imagination!”

”Hell, how are the other three giants supposed to survive?”

The onlookers continued their lively discussion, while the three successful Dragon Tooth Guards calmly stepped off the platform, their expressions as tranquil as Mo Yang’s.
