Chapter 134 Two-Person Martial Arts Competition
Du Yin clearly looked down on Song Chaofeng, feeling that Tao Tao was too hasty. Even if there were past grievances, they should have put them aside for the sake of points.
Under Du Yin's gaze, Song Chaofeng's expression turned sour. He knew he had indeed dragged Tao Tao down, and for a two-person duel, it was definitely more appropriate to team up with someone stronger.
"I want to win! Senior brother can definitely help me." Tao Tao raised her head and smiled innocently, which left Du Yin speechless. It seemed that Tao Tao was determined not to team up with her, so she sneered, "Then I hope you can win."
After saying that, Du Yin left.
As soon as she left, Song Chaofeng quietly said to Tao Tao, "I think what she said makes some sense. If you want to earn more points, you definitely need to win more games in the doubles arena. Teaming up with me is not the best choice. Besides, I was worried that you would be taken advantage of. Now that I don't have that worry, you can find someone else."
Originally, Song Chaofeng had no intention of participating in the two-person martial arts competition; he was simply trying to help Tao Tao.
"But we made a promise, how can you go back on your word, senior brother? Besides, I don't like her. I'd rather team up with Ayan than with her."
If Bai Yan hadn't revealed his strength before, he could have pretended to be an ordinary disciple and teamed up with her, but that would have been a bit of bullying.
Song Chaofeng couldn't help but sigh, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Alright, since you've put it that way, I have no choice but to accompany you, even at the cost of my life."
Ultimately, Song Chaofeng still doted on Tao Tao, and since he couldn't refuse, he could only agree.
After eating and drinking their fill, Tao Tao and Song Chaofeng headed to the dueling arena to participate in the last match of the day. She had roughly heard the rules from Du Yin, and they were almost identical.
Tao Tao glanced at the rankings of the duos. The first place was actually Ye Lan and Feng Qinghai. It seemed that this overseas cultivator was indeed powerful, as Ye Lan was willing to team up with him. The second place was the brother and sister from the Xuanyuan family, and the third place was Zhai Ming and Lü Shumei. This combination was also unusual. Tao Tao had thought that Zhai Ming would team up with the disciples of the Yanhan Sect. It seemed that he was more concerned about strength.
Among the remaining rankings, there were several familiar faces. They were all very strong and had very high scores. After looking at them, Tao Tao and Song Chaofeng entered the waiting area.
"Isn't that Le Taotao from Immortal Spirit Valley, the number one in Rank C? I heard he's a demon beast. Can you tell what kind of demon beast he is?"
They were noticed as soon as they entered. After all, Tao Tao was famous, and as a contestant, people would definitely inquire about him from various sources. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory.
"How could I tell? She has already transformed into human form, and so well at that, without leaving any distinguishing features. It seems her cultivation level is not simple."
"No matter how extraordinary she is, she's only at the early Foundation Establishment stage. You, a mid-stage cultivator, are afraid of her?"
"Of course I'm not afraid. It's just that I feel that demonic beasts and humans are very different. You can't judge their strength from their apparent cultivation level. I guess that's why many people in the C-level arena underestimated her and lost to her."
As expected of someone who has been through countless battles, the people here are much more experienced than those in the C-level martial arts arena. Many people only see Tao Tao's superficial cultivation level and think she is not that powerful, but when it comes to a real fight, even if it is a peak mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, Tao Tao can put up a fight.
"It'll probably be our turn to go in soon. Once inside, you go all out and fight with all your might. Just leave your back to me. Although my cultivation is not as good as yours, I haven't been without any progress lately."
"Okay, I'm very relieved to leave it to you."
Tao Tao grinned, showing no sign of nervousness whatsoever, while Song Chaofeng felt his heart leap into his throat. As expected of someone with real ability, he was truly different.
"It seems like there aren't many familiar faces." Tao Tao glanced around, roughly assessing their cultivation levels. Most of them were at the same level; it was just a matter of whether they were hiding their strength.
"It would be better if they didn't. You know those acquaintances of mine are all shrewd and dangerous. Today is our first round, and the opponents were randomly assigned. Tomorrow we'll have to choose our own targets. I don't want to run into those high-level monsters on my first try."
Song Chaofeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was going to take action, he had to win the first match, otherwise he wouldn't be qualified to continue. He knew that Tao Tao was definitely not worried, but he absolutely could not hold Tao Tao back.
"It's alright, we'll just have a match if we run into each other. Grandmaster said, if you can't beat someone, just run away. There's nothing shameful about it." Tao Tao said very seriously, leaving Song Chaofeng dumbfounded. "Grandmaster? Grandmaster You Yunzi said that?"
No way, this is far beyond what my grandmaster could ever do. If he dared to run away in the arena, he would definitely be in deep trouble when he got back.
Tao Tao nodded, "Yes."
Song Chaofeng sighed, "Indeed, people are different from one another."
Soon it was their turn to appear. This time, they didn't know who their opponents were until they entered the arena. As they entered, Song Chaofeng kept praying that he would be matched with two easy opponents and that he would not be drawn against any of those monster geniuses. He would feel very guilty if he stopped there.
"Huh? They look so alike." As soon as she entered the arena, Tao Tao's gaze fell on her opponents. She carefully examined the two of them. They should be siblings, but they looked very similar. If you swapped their hair and clothes, you could hardly tell who they were.
Amid Tao Tao's surprised exclamation, Song Chaofeng also looked up. The two did indeed look alike. Although they were a man and a woman, the man was handsome but not very tall, and looked no different from the woman next to him. However, his eyebrows and eyes were more sharp, while the woman's eyebrows and eyes were slightly gentler and more charming.
"They are twins, so we have to be careful. It is said that twins have a very good understanding and work together seamlessly. We may not be able to match their coordination."
"Twins? No wonder they look so alike." Tao Tao was so focused on the words "twins" that she didn't hear what was said afterward. Song Chaofeng was about to remind her when the two people opposite them walked over and bowed to them, saying, "Alan and Achen from Black Wind Island greet you both."
Unexpectedly, they took the initiative to introduce themselves, and their attitude was very humble and reasonable, not at all like they were placing themselves on the same level.
This surprised Tao Tao, and she quickly returned the greeting, "Happy Tao Tao of Fairy Spirit Valley."
Song Chaofeng immediately replied, "Song Chaofeng of Emerald Bamboo Peak, please give me your guidance."
"We wouldn't dare to offer any guidance; this is merely a friendly spar. My brother and I don't know much, so we hope you two will go easy on us."
"No, no, let's fight peacefully."
For some reason, the more humble the two people were, the more uneasy Song Chaofeng felt. He had a feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
After exchanging pleasantries, with a shout of "The duel begins!", Chen Lan and her brother's eyes turned cold, and they instantly retreated to create distance between themselves and Tao Tao and the others, immediately launching an attack.
