Chapter 285: Chapter 141: The Powerful Elements Saintess_2

Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu were fairly lucky; at least they weren’t placed in the same half of the field.

Long Dangdang was in the upper half, with his section consisting of himself, Zisang Liuying, Wang Changxin, and Chu Yu. The lower half was made up of Tang Leiguang, Cai Caijuan, Yue Li, and Ling Menglu.

In fact, no matter who he faced, it would certainly be a tough battle. In terms of cultivation level among the top eight, Long Dangdang was definitely among the lowest ranked.

Among these eight people, through continuous effort, Long Dangdang’s spiritual power had just barely reached 5th Rank Level 4.

Zisang Liuying was at 6th Rank Level 1, Wang Changxin was at 5th Rank Level 9, Chu Yu was at 5th Rank level 7.

In the lower half, Tang Leiguang was at 6th Rank Level 1, Cai Caijuan was at 5th Rank Level 6, Yue Li was at 6th Rank Level 1, and Ling Menglu was at 5th Rank Level 9.

Apart from feeling confident about facing Yue Li due to the fact that spirit furnaces are his counter, he could say that he had no certainty against anyone else.

The finals were elimination rounds, with the winners advancing.

In the first round, Long Dangdang drew Wang Changxin, Zisang Liuying matched Chu Yu, Tang Leiguang faced Cai Caijuan, Yue Li was up against Ling Menglu.

Long Dangdang could only comfort himself that it was better than drawing either Zisang Liuying or Chu Yu. Chu Yu’s powerful explosive power, he felt, would likely overwhelm him, but that would only happen if he chose to use that immensely costly attack. As for Zisang Liuying, that barely needed to be mentioned she was the hot favourite for this year’s championship.

"Old bro! This is bad!" After the draw, back at the Spirit Furnace Academy dormitory, Long Dangdang, Long Kongkong, and Ling Menglu gathered together and Long Kongkong couldn’t help but voice his concern.

The situation indeed didn’t look very good. In the upper half, even if Long Dangdang managed to defeat Wang Changxin, he’d likely have to face Zisang Liuying next. That would indeed be a bit difficult.

In the lower half, Ling Menglu’s scenario seemed much better. At least in the first round against Yue Li, she wasn’t under too much pressure. Although Yue Li’s Water-Fire Common Origin magic was formidable, the threat wouldn’t be too powerful against her, who possessed three spirit furnaces and whose innate spiritual power exceeded 100.

Long Dangdang nodded and said, "I will do my best. Let’s cultivate together in seclusion for a few days, with three days’ time, hopefully, we can improve our spiritual powers a bit." With the cultivation granted by the Icy Moon Angel and supplemented with Celestial Abyss Ocean’s daytime exchange, their spiritual power increased at a much faster rate compared to normal professionists.

Now it was Long Kongkong’s turn to look worried, "I was just planning to go to work. I haven’t gone in quite a while. It’s the weekend too. Old brother, can I just cultivate with you in the evening? Forget it, I’ll be with you. I should go to the store later to ask for a leave from my goddess."

Looking at his awkward comportment, Long Dangdang couldn’t help but laugh, "Stop acting, go do your thing, I can cultivate alone. Make sure to come back early in the evening. An extra three days won’t make a huge difference anyway."

Long Kongkong smiled sheepishly and said, "Thanks, bro. Cousin, you need to work hard! I’m not too hopeful about my brother winning first place, it will all depend on you. If you win the first place, choose my brother first in the second round, then pick me. My ranking is so far behind, probably no one would choose me anyway. You two figure out the rest once we are all together."

Long Dangdang turned to Ling Menglu, saying: "Cousin, do you want to go talk to Zisang Liuying about our previous ideas?"

Ling Menglu furrowed her brows slightly, causing Long Dangdang to pause, "Do you have concerns?"

Ling Menglu said: "I know Zisang’s character. She has extraordinary talent, and she works very hard. She has a strong desire to win. Your request will certainly conflict with her ideas. If I go and tell her, it might directly stimulate her rebellious personality."

Long Dangdang squinted his eyes slightly, "Are you talking about choosing a team leader?"

Ling Menglu nodded in agreement.

Long Dangdang said, "Then let me give it a try. We’re not that close, so it’ll be easier for me to talk. We can communicate first, which will make it easier for us to arrange how to choose the people."

Seeing this, Ling Menglu’s brow relaxed, and she softly said, "Cousin, you sure know how to read people."

"Ouch, cousin, are you offering yourself to me?" Long Kongkong immediately said with a surprised look on his face.

Ling Menglu, slightly annoyed, said: "Go find your goddess and stop ruining the atmosphere here."

"Alright then, I’m outta here! Enjoy your two-person world," Long Kongkong cheerfully said as he walked out.

Long Dangdang hurriedly added, "Be careful. You’ve been targeted by the undead before, so aside from the rib store, don’t go anywhere else. Remember to be ready with the distress signal that Teacher Na Ye gave you at all times."

Since the incident last time, Na Ye gave Long Kongkong a special distress signal that could break the seal. The rib restaurant and the Temple’s main hall were close by, relatively speaking, there was a certain assurance of safety.

"I understand, don’t worry."

After Long Kongkong left, Long Dangdang also took action.

Zisang Liuying wasn’t hard to find, she had always been cultivating in her dormitory. After Long Dangdang called out a couple of times outside her dormitory, he quickly saw the figure of the Elements Saintess.

Coming out of the dormitory, Zisang Liuying looked surprised to see it was Long Dangdang who was looking for her.

"You’re looking for me? Why?" Zisang Liuying asked with confusion.

Long Dangdang said: "The final competition will start soon. On behalf of myself and my cousin, there’s something I want to discuss with you."

Zisang Liuying hesitated for a moment before saying: "Come in." She then walked into her dormitory first.

Just like Ling Menglu, she also had her own single dormitory without any roommates.

Long Dangdang hesitated, unsure if it was appropriate for him to go into a girl’s bedroom alone.

"If I’m not afraid, then why are you? After all, you can’t beat me." Zisang Liuying’s voice echoed from inside.

Really assertive!

Long Dangdang furrowed his eyebrows and then followed her in.

Zisang Liuying led him into a small living room, motioned him to sit on the couch. With a wave of her hand, a faint halo appeared around the walls of the living room, a seclusion barrier!

There was clearly a magic array formation for protection present, which could isolate elements fluctuations and aura from inside and outside.

"Speak." Zisang Liuying sat down across from Long Dangdang.

After pausing for a moment, Long Dangdang said: "Together with Tang Leiguang, Chu Yu, and Cai Caijuan, there are four of you. If you form a demon hunting team, you’ll still need a knight and a priest. Have you thought about how to choose?"

Zisang Liuying’s eyes flickered, "Are you and Menglu willing to join us? But you should know, you can only join as a knight, aren’t you unable to leave your little brother?"

Looking at her intently, Long Dangdang said: "What if I could handle this problem?"

Zisang Liuying smiled slightly, "I’ve always hoped that Menglu would be with me and you’re an excellent knight. Of course, you’re welcome. It seems you’re bringing good news today?"

Long Dangdang nodded slightly, "I believe I should be able to do it. But, we have a condition."

"What condition?" Zisang Liuying paused.

Long Dangdang said: "If we form a demon hunting team, we want my cousin to be the team leader, and you to be the vice-leader."

This was something he and Ling Menglu had carefully discussed. Actually, Ling Menglu didn’t have many opinions about this, but from the time they were battling the wraith legion and understanding Zisang Liuying’s character, Long Dangdang didn’t think she was a good candidate for team leadership. Zisang Liuying had a somewhat impulsive character. Her strength was undeniable, but her impulsiveness could cause big problems when leading a team.

Long Dangdang was the kind of person who would consider defeat first before considering victory, he could not accept an impulsive team leader. It would likely lead the team into trouble.

After hearing his condition, Zisang Liuying quickly stood up, her expression turning cold. "Is this your idea or Menglu’s?"

Long Dangdang also stood up and his voice deepened, "It’s our decision."

"You can leave now!"
