Chapter 308: Chapter 153 Choosing People_1

"I forfeit this final round!" When Ling Menglu announced this, the whole audience was immediately taken aback. Even Na Ye was greatly surprised.

This was the final round of the demon hunting team selection competition, the champion of which could get a top-notch spirit furnace. The value of a top-tier spirit furnace was immeasurable. By choosing to admit defeat, Ling Menglu was essentially handing over this artificial spirit entity, not to mention the honor of being the champion.

Zisang Liuying too was stunned. But the next moment, her eyes instantly became sharp. "I don’t need your mercy. Let’s have a match," she said.

Ling Menglu smiled slightly. "I can’t beat you. What’s there to compete about? Even if we’re not teammates in the future, you are still my sister, is that okay?"

Zisang Liuying suddenly felt as if something was stuck in her throat. All of a sudden, she stepped forward, forcefully pushed Ling Menglu’s shoulders, making her stagger, and then loudly shouted, "I hate you." With a cry in her voice, she turned and ran, no longer caring about the outcome of the match.

At this moment, Na Ye was a bit dumbfounded. How did this scene look like two good girlfriends falling out over a man! Although it wasn’t that kind of relationship, it seemed to be precisely that, weren’t they falling out over Long Dangdang?

Dangdang, oh Dangdang! You have something there!

Watching Zisang Liuying running away in tears, Ling Menglu’s bright eyes also dimmed somewhat. But this was her choice, something she had carefully considered long before. She had asked herself in her heart whether she would be happy forming a team with Zisang Liuying. The answer was no. Ever since she had been with the Long brothers, Dangdang and Kongkong, she had felt herself relaxing a lot. Compared to her former days of hard cultivation, constantly on edge, struggling desperately to catch up, she now preferred her current life.

Even though they were still cultivating hard together, the process was not dull. Dangdang, who always liked to hold something back, gave her a sense of security. Kongkong, who was socially adept, always managed to cheer her up and her mood seemed to soar with him. Being with them, Ling Menglu experienced joy like she never had before.

When she first chose Dangdang, it was related to his role as a knight, and his cousin status. But after getting to know each other, she felt that the harmony she had with them was unprecedented, especially comforting. Therefore, without much consideration, she decided that her future would be growing together with these two cousins.

Na Ye looked towards the chairman’s stage; he didn’t know how to announce. They didn’t even fight, and one had run away. Who won and who lost?

Over by the battle area, there was already a commotion. Cai Caijuan had run out to bring back Zisang Liuying. Tang Leiguang and Chu Yu had also gathered around.

Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong also stood up, went to the edge of the field, and looked at their cousin.

Yue Li, Tao Linlin, and Wang Changxin also followed them.

After more than a minute, a voice came from the chairman’s stage: "Surrendering is allowed by the rules. However, as finalists of the demon hunting team competition, giving up your pursuit of victory for personal reasons implies a lack of willpower. After becoming members of the demon hunting team, you will be facing formidable enemies and difficult tasks. Without a strong will and a firm conviction, how can you become a truly qualified demon hunter? Zisang Liuying wins this match and is the champion. Ling Menglu is the runner-up. Your rewards as the first and the second place are cancelled as a punishment."

What? Cancel the rewards?

This now shocked Ling Menglu. The Temple Alliance, what kind of trick is this? Not to mention the equipment, that was a top-tier spirit furnace! The spirit furnace was gone just like that? If I had known, Zisang and I would have pretended to fight for a while! Giving the spirit furnace to Zisang is better than nothing.

"I object," Ling Menglu said sternly: "As the elders just said, surrendering is allowed by the rules. Since this is within the rules, why should we be punished this way? My choice to surrender is not due to lack of determination. This is a personal friendship issue between Zisang Liuying and me and does not influence our respective will. The Alliance cannot deprive us of our rewards. These are what we have fought out with our abilities."

A deep voice sounded from the direction of the chairman’s stage: "The demon hunting team selection competition is designed to select talents and let you show yourselves. It is not child’s play. In no previous competition have there been as many surrenders as in this competition. This is a punishment for your disrespect for the demon hunting team selection competition. Throughout the history of the Federation, every demon hunting team has been a true hero, shedding blood and giving their lives for the Federation. You disrespecting this competition is disrespecting our predecessors. The punishment is a warning to you."

Ling Menglu stated loudly: "We never disrespected our predecessors, is it appropriate for you to label us like this? Strategic surrendering is an expression of wisdom. Since the competition does not prohibit surrendering, it is within the rules. If we are not allowed to surrender, this should have been stated in the rules beforehand. Now, the Federation is arbitrarily depriving us of our rewards. I disagree. I will use my status as a reserve Sacred Legate to appeal for a Sacred Legate Judgment."
