Chapter 578: Chapter 577: Dragon Spine Mountain Range

Goryeo Kingdom, Jeolla Namdo, Wangxiang Island.

The island was covered with lush forests, and nestled among the trees was a courtyard with an air of antiquity.

Crack!

A celadon cup filled with tea shattered into pieces on the floor.

Li Xizhu, with hair and beard both white, dressed in simple and loose Hanfu, knelt in front of the TV. When he saw the triumphant Hanseong University team, his face flushed with anger. Snatching up the celadon cup from the table in front of him, he threw it out, "A man without manners is better off dead!"

Dressed in Tang attire, Uncle Qi looked helplessly at the shards on the ground and waved for the maids to clean up quickly. He stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Master, you watch the game to enjoy yourself. If it’s not enjoyable, just turn it off."

Li Xizhu felt this made sense, and with a sweep of his wide sleeves, he prepared to stand up and leave.

At this moment, Li Fengting, who was kneeling behind him, suddenly spoke up, "Father, the next contestant is the man who injured Fangyan, aren’t you going to watch?"

As these words were spoken, Li Xizhu’s face immediately darkened. Narrowing his eyes, he looked at Li Fengting, "Second child, haven’t you given up yet?"

"No, no, no." Li Fengting shook his hands repeatedly, his expression subtly saying, "How could your son dare to contradict you, Father? It’s just that it’s a coincidence, the child of the fourth brother is in this team."

"The fourth..." Li Xizhu’s expression became somewhat astonished, and his previously straight spine relaxed somewhat.

Uncle Qi hurriedly stepped forward, looking at him with a worried face, "Master."

Li Xizhu waved his hand somberly, "It’s fine, let’s keep watching."

After speaking, he silently watched the television, lost in thought.

...

The central arena.

When Shao Zifeng and his companions exited the player’s tunnel, several medical staff passed by them, carrying a stretcher, with a heavy scent of alcohol lingering in the air.

On the stretcher, several athletes from Rash Country had drunken, unfocused eyes and their bare chests glowed with an abnormal redness, marked with scratch marks.

At that moment, Hu Shiwu suddenly whispered, "Ula."

The Rash Country giants on the stretcher burst into action as if injected with chicken blood, raising their arms and shouting, "Ula!!!"

Having shouted, they became even more excited, and the medical staff quickly restrained them, simultaneously shooting disapproving glances at Hu Shiwu.

Hu Shiwu chuckled and ran to Shao Zifeng’s side, "Captain, captain, when I shouted ’Ula,’ they actually responded... hey, Captain, when did you start using a knife? Can I touch it?"

Noticing several hostile glances, Shao Zifeng glared at him, "Behave yourself."

Hu Shiwu shrank his neck and skulked to the back of the line.

As the men from Su City University appeared on the big screen, the atmosphere in the venue instantly peaked. Muscle-bound men in tight vests bulged their arms, waving the Su City University emblem flags wildly.

"Shao Zifeng go for it! Su City University go for it!!"

"Destroy those losers from Princeton!"

"Destroy them! Destroy them!"

Eventually, these slogans echoed throughout the entire stadium.

Shao Zifeng felt strange inside, thinking why the audience today seemed overexcited, wasn’t it always about longing for his beauty?

"Dear audience, this is Tan Xin’an from the Imperial Broadcasting Station bringing you a live broadcast of the National Cup competition. We can now see that the team from Su City University has appeared on the field," Tan Xin’an said facing the camera. "This morning, Shao Zifeng made a statement to Deer from Princeton University that sparked a huge controversy. I wonder what Ningshuang thinks about this, if I remember correctly, you have more than once publicly expressed your admiration for Shao."

"Indeed, if I were a few years younger, I would have pursued him without a second thought," Dong Ningshuang blinked and cheekily joked.

She was wearing a blue, black-collared slim-fit business suit, her chestnut hair was twisted into a bun exposing her slender, fair neck. Her face lightly made up, she moved with the grace of a mature woman, "On its journey here, Su City University went from being unnoticed to the biggest dark horse, and Captain Shao Zifeng contributed greatly to that."

"Even a frequent follower like me knows that Shao Zifeng is a low-profile person, never accepting any media interviews. Choosing such a high-profile approach this time is definitely not, as some people say, for clout-chasing."

"Oh?" Tan Xin’an nodded slightly, "Then how should we interpret Shao Zifeng’s actions this time?"

Dong Ningshuang took a deep breath, "Do you still remember Wang Hao from Anhua University? Before he transferred, he attended Su City University."

Tan Xin’an was somewhat moved, "Are you saying..."

"Yes," Dong Ningshuang’s expression grew excited, "His high-profile declaration of war must also be to give an explanation to his deceased close friend. How can we just watch a responsible, committed young man be slandered by some unscrupulous media as somebody who’s just seeking attention!"

"So it was for a friend. Suddenly, I’m a bit envious of Wang Hao."

"Boohoo, before I was just a fan of Zifeng’s looks, but after getting to know him, I realized that he’s not just good-looking. Being his fan in this life is worth it."

"I admit, I thought before that he was just seeking attention. I owe him an apology."

"Me too."

"Let’s not talk about this now, the competition mode has been confirmed!"

"Beep beep beep!"

The shrill whistle sounded.

The referee held the Great Tit’s claw in one hand and a megaphone in the other.

"National Cup round of 16, fifth match, Su City University versus Princeton University."

"The competition mode is ’1V1 Real Environment Combat’, the venue ’Dragon Spine Mountain Range’. Each side will field one participant, with each participant allowed to bring three pets. Contestants from both sides, please prepare."

Boom!

A dull noise came from beneath the arena as the brand new venue rose slowly.

The main body of the ’Dragon Spine Mountain Range’ venue is a massive mountain range that spans from north to south, with high ridges rising up, and its wrinkled mass is dotted with variously sized branches forming ridges and valleys. The dark mountain surface is barren of any plants, thinly covered with snowy white, the snow fluttering like a veil under the strong wind of blowers, resembling a giant dragon lying on the ground.

Hearing it would be a 1V1 real environment duel, Xiang Nan took a deep breath and stepped forward. He had walked only a few steps when an arm holding a pure white Tang sword blocked him.

Xiang Nan looked at the one blocking him, Shao Zifeng, "Captain, I have an advantage in this kind of terrain."

Shao Zifeng turned his head and smiled at him, "But you can’t beat me, can you?"

After speaking, he walked towards the entrance of the ’Dragon Spine Mountain Range’ venue.

The teammates looked at Shao Zifeng’s back with mixed feelings; they wanted to say something but didn’t know how to start.

Xian Xiaoyu ran forward a few steps, cupping her hands around her mouth like a megaphone, "Remember all that I told you, right? If you don’t believe it, don’t stubbornly resist to the end, it’s no big deal to admit defeat!!"

Shao Zifeng stood at the foot of the Dragon Spine Mountain Range, raised his arm, and waved towards them.

Then a faint space rift slowly opened.

"Whoo~"

The Cold River Dragon Whale, enshrouded in white veils like a sprite, emitted a joyful song as it danced gracefully in mid-air.

Shao Zifeng’s pupils dilated to fill his entire eyes, and light veil-like fins formed on his ears, as the powerful ice elemental force blew across the snow on the ground creating whirlwinds that kept rotating around him.

"Whoo~"

The Cold River Dragon Whale gently landed in front of Shao Zifeng, its massive head affectionately pressed against his forehead, conveying its joy to Shao Zifeng without reserve.

Shao Zifeng mounted the gleaming creature, its eyes sparkled like gemstones as he looked toward the summit of the ridge.

"Jingjing, let’s go."

Jingjing joyously spun around in the air and, dragging its long, veil-like fins, flew towards the ridge.
