Chapter 1628 - Is It That Delicious?
Chapter 1628: Is It That Delicious?
Liu Jie had been training in the Spirit Guards’ land and immediately joined the discussion with Lin Yuan, Gao Feng Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and An He when he returned.
After the discussion, he received Liu Wencheng’s order and headed to the Radiance Sacred Hall.
He barely had time to eat or drink in the two weeks that he had been in seclusion.
Each time he had the chance to eat, he would eat as quickly as if he was training in the wild and finish within three minutes.
!!This was so he would be able to spend more time increasing his power.
As such, he had not had the time to log onto Star Web and learn about recent events.
Because of this, Shi Xu’s question befuddled Liu Jie.
Eight-tailed cat? Could he be referring to Genius, who spent its day clinging and nuzzling up to Lin Yuan?
Liu Jie was not a Creation Master and could not see a fey’s abilities and exclusive skills. But he was able to tell what their grades were.
In Liu Jie’s memory, Genius had been Diamond I/Fantasy III when he last saw it.
Moreover, Liu Jie had assumed that Genius was a support-type fey because it had used Connected Tails on him.
Wang Fan had mentioned the fight between Black and Lu Shuang.
Before the Insect Queen’s roots were injured, Liu Jie had encountered Lu Shuang on the Celestial Stairway in the past.
At that time, she had not attained the level of power that she had now.
Liu Jie was skilled at formation battles because of the Insect Queen’s combat skills.
However, the battles on the Celestial Stairway took place at random locations, and there were no bunkers at the locations.
Hence, it was very difficult to succeed by using formations.
Liu Jie had lost to Lu Shuang and was well aware of how powerful the Exquisite Rhino Giraffes and two Earth Walking Witch Snakes were.
If not for the fact that they were currently in the Radiance Sacred Hall, Liu Jie would have immediately logged onto Star Web to watch the battle between Black and Lu Shuang.
Genius was a support-type fey.
Liu Jie was shocked when he heard that Genius managed to defend against one of Lu Shuang’s full-strength attacks.
Liu Jie suddenly realized that he really did not understand Lin Yuan.
He did not even know Lin Yuan as well as Genius.
Since he did not have the answers, he could not give Shi Xu a reply.
Moreover, Liu Jie would never expose the details of Lin Yuan’s feys.
Luckily, Shi Xu had only asked because he had never seen Black’s cat-species fey before.
Liu Jie nodded and said, “Black does have a cat-species fey called Genius.”
Liu Jie’s words were like bait that hooked the others’ interest.
If Liu Wencheng was not currently standing on the stage, all the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence would have crowded around Liu Jie.
At first, they all assumed that Liu Jie would continue talking.
But Liu Jie did not go on to mention the eight-tailed cat.
Shi Xu blinked and thought, Hello? Are you going to stop at merely telling us the cat-species fey’s name? What’s the point in us knowing that it’s called Genius? What about its abilities and exclusive skills? We want to know how it managed to block one of Lu Shuang’s full-power attacks!
Li Ang was also extremely curious and was about to ask a question when a short-haired girl dressed in silver half-armor walked in.
Once she walked in, all discussions that were going on stopped, and she became the center of attention.
Li Ang stared fearfully at the girl, and all his curiosity about Black vanished. He still remembered fighting her three years ago when he was 22 years old, and she was 19 years old.
During the fight, she had toyed with him and had no intention of retaliating against him.
That battle had ripped apart Li Ang’s pride.
He had been training doggedly for the past three years so that he would be able to clash against her again at this year’s Radiance Hundred Sequence ranking.
He was not expecting to overturn his embarrassing defeat. He just wanted to see if he had managed to close the gap between them in the past three years.
Long Tao walked over and sat next to Bai Hao before asking Liu Jie, “All of us have three chances to challenge. Once the last chance is used, our ranks will be confirmed. We will have to wait to be challenged if we want to change ranks in the future. If you want to climb the ranks, why don’t I challenge you so that you can defeat me and take my rank? This will save you one of your own challenges, and you will be able to make it further.”
There were many rules within the Radiance Hundred Sequence.
Those of higher ranks could challenge those of lower ranks at any time, but those of lower ranks could only challenge those ten ranks above them.
As such, if one hid too much of their power and ended up in the bottom 60 ranks, they would only be able to reach the top 30 at best unless someone of a higher rank challenged them.
But once a challenge failed, they could still continue to challenge until they used up his three chances.
This would give the challenger time to learn about their opponent and come up with a battle strategy.
Long Tao had spoken softly, and only Bai Hao and Liu Jie had heard him.
Astonishment spread across Bai Hao’s face.
What was Long Tao saying? He implied that he would not be able to defeat Liu Jie and wanted to help Liu Jie.
Long Tao was Sequence #3 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and was the Young Leader of Coiling Dragon’s Valley.
He was always cruel and standoffish toward outsiders and only smiled at his teammates.
When did Liu Jie and Long Tao become so well-acquainted?
Additionally, Long Tao seemed to be certain that Liu Jie would be able to defeat him.
One could not put up too much pretense during the Radiance Hundred Sequence rankings because Liu Wencheng forbade it.
When they gathered together at Zong Ze’s place, Long Tao, Li Xuan, Gao Feng, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and the rest had discovered that Liu Jie was the Night Empress’ disciple and that the Guard Ye Banquet had been held for his benefit.
The Radiance Envoy selection would be taking place next year.
At that time, all of them were going to try out, including Liu Jie.
Liu Jie nodded and said, “Thank you, I do want to see how far I can go!”
Liu Jie’s gaze fell on Xia Qing, and shock soon appeared in his eyes.
Zhao Xiaochun had taken a seat next to Xia Qing and handed her a braised pig trotter.
Zhao Xiaochun herself was holding and happily gnawing on another pig trotter. It seemed delicious.
