Chapter 140: Chapter 133: After Revealing the Trump Card_2

That’s the feeling!

This is group confusion!

He remembered that Rosen had used this skill once before. Had the cooldown already elapsed?

The newly summoned six-thousand-strong army hadn’t even set foot out of the territory before they started slaughtering each other.

The Fire Demon, towering like a building in the middle of the territory, roared and swung its massive claws, its fiery injuries burning fiercely, hitting the surrounding Flame Army.

Even though they shared the same fire attribute, the Fire Demon’s base attack damage had reached 3000, enough to send the weaker troops to meet their ancestors with a single hit.

The Fire Demon’s wide-range attack on the surrounding Flame Army led to the Flame Army’s counterattack.

Continuously being besieged, the health of the Fire Demon decreased rapidly, and even with the health of a main city, it could not last long under the assault of thousands of troops!

"Damn it! You idiots! Stop it now!"

Seeing this, Qianhuo lost his composure and roared madly.

Even though he knew this was the effect of the opponent’s confusion skill, which couldn’t be resisted.

And he himself was also forced to attack his own troops, unable to resist even himself, let alone expect his army to listen to his orders.

He could only watch helplessly as the Fire Demon was ground to death by its own army.

During this process, Rosen’s army did not invade, for fear of being caught in the crossfire.

As the Fire Demon fell, the lava region of the Flame Territory dissipated instantly, leaving only scorched earth behind.

Rosen still did not move his troops, letting them wait outside the territory until the Dragon’s Wrath skill effect dissipated.

Unexpectedly, Qianhuo died shortly afterward in the melee among his own troops. His remaining health was low, and he couldn’t recover in time. After receiving hundreds of attacks from fire-based troops, he fell.

With Qianhuo also eliminated, the Flame Army within the territory fell apart like a pile of loose sand.

Rosen only needed a few strategic deployments to wipe them all out.

When Tang Xichen arrived with a thousand Ten-winged Angels, she was surprised to see Rosen already demolishing the buildings in the Flame Territory.

She originally thought that after she had withdrawn, Rosen could only barely hold on, resisting Qianhuo, but unexpectedly, it made no difference whether she was there or not.

Rosen had already eliminated Qianhuo and was clearing his territory.

"Qianhuo, eliminated?"

"Eliminated. I used the Dragon’s Wrath skill again, causing his troops to slaughter each other. Both Qianhuo and the Fire Demon fell in this mutual slaughter."

"Dragon’s Wrath? Xiaozhang, just how many innate abilities do you have?" Tang Xichen suddenly thought of something and took the opportunity to ask.

"Let’s talk about it after we leave." Rosen said.

Hearing Rosen say this, Tang Xichen retracted her immediate questioning intent, recognizing that now wasn’t the right time to inquire.

All happenings here could be seen by the audience outside, and anyone could watch the developments on this battlefield at any time, so some secrets weren’t fit to be revealed in the arena.

The two then worked together to clear Qianhuo’s territory, afterward dispatching troops to search for the open air walls around to capture the resource points occupied by Qianhuo.

At present, the number of gold mines under their command had reached over 100!

The pace of development leaves nothing to be desired.

After defeating Qianhuo, they evidently became the strongest lords on the entire battlefield.

Ranking in the top three!

Thus, from the live ranking evaluation projected on the screen in the audience stands, Tang Xichen was seen at the top, followed by Xiaozhang.

"Who is this Xiaozhang really? Why have I never heard of him before, and he actually eliminated Qianhuo?"

"It seems that the reason Qianhuo suffered earlier was entirely because Tang Xichen had an ally like Xiaozhang. Otherwise, even Tang Xichen might not have been a match for Qianhuo, knowing that the Fire Demon is a nightmare for most veteran lords!"

...

Three months after the single-player Lord Dominance Competition.

Beneath the light curtain on the platform, a massive teleportation portal finally appeared.

The three lords who had made it to the finals, representing the top three in this multiplayer match, emerged from the portal one after another.

They were Ye Yuxuan, Rosen, and Tang Xichen.

"Tang Xichen indeed took first place. That Xiaozhang is probably truly a hidden master of the Tang Family, here this time to act as Tang Xichen’s bodyguard."

"No doubt about it. Didn’t you see Patriarch Tang personally sending an avatar to observe the situation? The Tang Family is undoubtedly taking this competition extremely seriously!"

"If Tang Xichen hadn’t clinched the first win, her Twelve-winged Angel Goddess Hero might have been criticized by ill-intentioned people, affecting even our Central Plains representative."

"Tang Xichen is my goddess. Whoever dares to speak ill of her will have to deal with me!"

Amidst the enthusiastic discussions of the audience, the organizers finally announced the results.

"Now announcing the top ten finishers of this single-player format competition. All contestants who made it into the top ten will receive carefully prepared, generous rewards!"

"First place, Tang Xichen!"

"Second place, Rosen!"

...

The top ten list was announced one by one.

"The boss really got me in third place!" Ye Yuxuan was elated. To say he was just riding coattails, but this time he also performed well, at least managing to eliminate the Wind Lord on his own. Being able to knock out a veteran lord, even with the help of the boss, is quite impressive.

...

"Xiaozhang, you didn’t let me down in this competition, revealing your true trump cards, ultimately surprising me with so many skills I was unaware of!" Tang Xuanze said.

"Uncle Tang, you’re joking. Those are just innate abilities."

"Is that so?"

The atmosphere turned a bit awkward, yet not oppressive, as everyone was still basking in the victory’s joy.

"Father, you once said Xiaozhang is someone I know. Why didn’t you tell me before when Xiaozhang had not exposed his cards, now that he has shown his strength, shouldn’t you tell me?" Tang Xichen suddenly asked.

Among those present were Tang Xuanze, Rosen, Tang Xichen, and added Ye Yuxuan.

At this moment, Ye Yuxuan was also blinking his eyes, looking at Rosen.

Under the mask, Rosen’s expression shifted, feeling somewhat nervous.

Earlier, upon seeing Tang Xuanze’s avatar, Ye Yuxuan didn’t doubt Rosen’s identity, still thinking Xiaozhang was Tang Xuanze in disguise.

"Boss, you should tell Xichen now; there’s no point in hiding it any longer." Ye Yuxuan said.

Rosen: "..."

Tang Xuanze: "..."

Tang Xichen: "..."

Tang Xichen looked at Ye Yuxuan and asked, "Yu Xuan, do you know who Xiaozhang is?"

Ye Yuxuan’s words instantly made Tang Xichen tense up.

If Xiaozhang’s true identity was a hidden expert of the Tang Family, Ye Yuxuan couldn’t possibly know, as the Tang Family’s experts would not reveal their identities to Ye Yuxuan.

Therefore, there was one possibility: Xiaozhang’s true identity was someone both she and Ye Yuxuan knew—likely a schoolmate.

Thinking of this, Tang Xichen’s expression changed, as she had never considered that there would be another new lord at school more brilliant than herself!

Also awakening to a stronger hero template than the Twelve-winged Angel Goddess, was that why the school had concealed both their identity and hero?

Instantly, there was a feeling of wounded vanity, as she initially believed she possessed the strongest hero template, but now it seemed it was merely her wishful thinking.

Then considering the possibly close relationship between Rosen and Ye Yuxuan, Tang Xichen suddenly felt a sense of being left out.

"So, Xiaozhang, who are you really?" Tang Xichen seriously asked, looking directly at Rosen.

At this time, Tang Xuanze was also smiling at Rosen, saying, "I actually already uncovered your true identity earlier but kept it to myself to ensure your safety. If you still mind, you can continue keeping it secret. However, since you’ve revealed your trump card at the competition, foreign forces are bound to know about the abilities under your alias, and they’ll send assassins after you more frequently than after Xichen. It’s too dangerous for you to be alone outside. I suggest you join a big family immediately. With a big family backing you, your safety can be assured, and given your performance this time, I’m sure many large families will be lining up to recruit you."

Is this Tang Xuanze’s real purpose?

Rosen quickly realized that Tang Xuanze’s request not to conceal his strength in the competition was meant to ensure Tang Xichen received maximum support, and also to find a chance to draw Rosen in, turning him into the Tang Family’s guest expert.
