Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Eighty thousand participants, and only a hundred would be selected to enter the qualifying tournament. They were not only facing mythical beasts, but also teams that were made up of the bigger families. Because of the rules of the trials, anyone would be able to obtain another’s energy points from their identity cards.

When ordinary teams encountered stronger teams, there was only one way to avoid their points from being taken from that—run!

This was also one of the things that were discussed by those who had participated in the last competition.

And this time, the five strongest teams were led by Tang Qinghong from China’s ancient martial arts world, Yan Qi from England’s Supernatural World, Cecil from America, Felix from Latvia, and Nozawa from Japan.

Each of them had the strength and power to obtain the first place!

So Betty was surprised when she saw the group that had approached was Felix, and she shot Gu Xiqiao and everyone else a look that said ‘Hurry and run!’.

Shi Qin and Hanz stood slowly, stepping up beside Betty, watching Felix and his team warily.

The three others beside the hotpot however, were still eating their beef with a content expression, as if they had not seen Felix’s team. Betty shot them a desperate look, but the three ignored her.

“Little Yunzi, Little Yunzi… Oh, Little Muzi, Little Wuzi!” Betty was at her wit’s end with their attitude.

Although their partnership had only been a short day, Shi Qin and the two had no intentions of abandoning Gu Xiqiao and the rest of them.

But facing Felix, they didn’t have a snowball’s chance in h*ll to win this fight!

“Shi Qin, why are Little Yunzi and the rest in such a daze!” Betty raised her weapon, which was an exquisitely made bow. Her face was calm, but her eyes couldn’t hide the panic that she was feeling.

Shi Qin pursed his lips, glancing at Gu Xiqiao who was leaning against the tree, counting her fingers. She looked even more relaxed than Xiao Yun and the others. “They probably don’t know who Felix is, otherwise they wouldn’t be behaving like this. But it doesn’t matter whether they know or not, do we even have a chance to escape, now that we’re up against them?”

Betty was silent at his words.

Indeed, Felix had enough strength to fight for the first placement, which meant his power level was at least on the 52nd floor.

The difference of being on the 40th and 50th floor was massive, and even if there were ten of Shi Qin, it wouldn’t be enough to deal with Felix, what more the seven of them?

Not to mention, there were also about twenty members behind Felix, each of them no less than a power level of 35th floor!

“Meeting Felix just as soon as we enter, what kind of sh*tty luck do we have? Shi Qin, what do we do now?” Hans said bitterly.

“This is still the edge of Bahuang Forest, why hasn’t Felix gone to the center yet?” Betty’s face was pale. The mythical beasts on the edge of the forest were weaker, so they had lesser energy contribution to their token, and most of the stronger teams would head to the center to go against the more powerful ones.

The team of nearly thirty people, including Felix who could compete for first placing, closed in on them.

“Young Master Felix, this black-haired boy’s chi isn’t that weak, looking at it, he should be Shi Qin from China, who’s in the top 90 right now.” A young man next to Felix said. “If you get his energy, then you’ll definitely be able to surpass Cecil and obtain second place!”

Felix looked at Shi Qin, nodding his head after a while. “Shi Qin, not a bad talented genius. If you continue to develop, it wouldn’t be hard to get into the top hundred. But you’re out of luck, since you met me. After I kill you, there’ll be an extra placing for Latvia among the top hundred.”

But to deal with this group of weak chickens, he really didn’t feel like exerting any effort to do so. It wasn’t even worth his time!

So he waved his hand, and a few people came forward from behind him, holding big swords in their hands. They rushed towards Shi Qin and the others when they were signaled forward.

Seeing Shi Qin and the others take out their weapon, the other team couldn’t help the laughter that burst out. They still wanted to resist? What a joke! And the other four weren’t even reacting, did they not know who they were up against?

It didn’t matter anyway, all seven of them would be eliminated in a bit.

Betty rushed to defend Xiao Yun and the others when she saw someone with a knife rushing towards them, but Xiao Yun, Yao Jiamu, and Wu Hongwen were still calmly eating their food, not making any moves to avoid them.

“Look! Those three have been scared by our Young Master Felix till they became nuts already!”

Felix’s team burst out laughing again, their eyes full of mockery as they looked towards the three.

Felix, who had also been laughing, suddenly paled. “Get back!” He shouted in an urgent tone.

The group of men who were holding their big swords looked at each other, not understanding what Felix was doing. But since Felix was the strongest in their team, and he was also the leader, it was obvious that they would listen to his orders. As soon as he spoke, all of them put away their weapons and retreated to his side.

There was a strange expression on Felix’s face, and he looked shaken up. Not giving another look at Gu Xiqiao and the rest, he turned and left with his team.

His face was pale, and his steps were hurried.

“Ah? This… what just happened?” Betty’s eyes widened. “Didn’t they just announce arrogantly that they wanted to eliminate us? Why have they just left like that?”

“I don’t know,” Shi Qin replied, shaking his head with a contemplative look in his eyes.

Hans also felt that it was weird, and although he was burly, he was also quite intelligent. “Although I’ve never met Felix, I’ve heard of his reputation. He’s a master, and a viciously cruel person. A lot of the Latvia people don’t actually like him. I had thought that we’d never be able to escape him.”

Why did they leave before they even made a move?

Hans let out a long sigh, wiping the sweat off his head. “That was close, we actually managed to escape from Felix.”

“Oh you three! You’re really so bold.” Betty looked at them who had been eating from start to end, and it looked like Xiao Yun had consumed enough beef to feed an entire country, to Gu Xiqiao who was still looking at her fingers in a leisurely manner. Pointing to Gu Xiqiao, she said, “And you, Qiao Qiao. Didn’t you know that we were almost eliminated! If it weren’t for Felix’s sudden change of mind, none of them would have managed to escape!”

Wu Hongwen had finally managed to grab another piece of meat, and he raised his head slowly when he heard Betty’s words, blinking at her. “Sudden change of mind? How can that be, there definitely must have been a master who helped us out.”

“A master?” Betty blinked owlishly, disbelief clear on her face. “What other master would be able to force Felix to retreat instantly like that? Not even Cecil or Nozawa would be able to do that, right?”

If the eighty thousand participants were to be arranged in a pyramid structure, then Felix, Cecil, Tang Qinghong, Nozawa, and Yan Qi would definitely be among the top five.

Being on the same level of genius as the others, how could it be possible that Felix would be scared off by any one of them?

‘Little Wuzi, that was sarcasm wasn’t it?’ Betty pouted.

Shi Qin was silent for a while, before saying in a deep voice, “Little Wuzi is right.”

“What?!” Betty turned to look at Shi Qin with an inconceivable look.

“He’s right.” Shi Qin said, shaking his head. “According to what Hans said, Felix is a vicious person, how could he have let us go so easily? He’s been threatening us since the beginning, saying that he’ll eliminate us. If you were Felix, Hans, would you have suddenly changed your mind and let us go?

Hans thought for a bit, then shook his head. Of course not!

“So, what Little Wuzi said made sense. There is someone who helped us out, or, Felix saw something that scared him,” Shi Qin said, analyzing his observation of the situation.

Hans and Betty were both silent, contemplating his words. It… it did sound like it made sense, right?

“Either way, we can’t stay here too long.” Shi Qin looked towards Gu Xiqiao and the other three. “Let’s hurry and leave, and Betty, tell them about Felix, Cecil, Yan Qi, Nozawa, and Tang Qinghong. They need to hear the details.”

Otherwise if they had the luck to run into any of the mentioned five, they’d be sitting ducks and won’t be able to escape at all!

Betty immediately started briefing the four of them once she heard Shi Qin’s instructions.

In the end, the only one that listened to her words was Yao Jiamu.

Xiao Yun was discussing with Gu Xiqiao about what to eat for dinner, while Wu Hongwen was asking her about using a thicker branch as a sword, which was rejected immediately by her.

Betty, who was trying to brief them about the details: “…” My heart is tired, seriously.

***

At the same time, Felix and his team had already left the area. Felix was in the lead, and his steps were hurried, his face still pale.

After walking for a long time, he finally stopped to wipe the cold sweat on his head and tried to calm his raging heart.

“Young Master Felix, why did you let those people go?” The young man who was beside him asked, puzzled. “It was obvious that we could have gotten rid of them.”

“What do you know!” Felix said, a lingering fear in his tone. “When you guys just started to attack, my spirit and mind were attacked suddenly!”

“What?! Someone dared to attack you?” The young man’s eyes widened.

Their Young Master Felix was one of the contenders for first place!

Felix nodded. “That person was very strong, I’m guessing their power level is about the 70th floor.” He couldn’t resist at all!

There was another thing that he didn’t tell them. When he was attacked, that person had spoken to him, “If you don’t leave, you will die.” And that was the reason that he called them back and left in such a hurry!

“70th floor?!” Shock and horror were now on the young man’s face. “Isn’t that almost the same as Young Master Jiang?”

“That strong?” Someone else asked. “Young Master, who in the world was it? Is it one of the other five?”

Felix shook his head. “No, this person is far stronger than me.”

Gods!

For even their Young Master Felix to react this way, the people in his team couldn’t help but look at each other uneasily. This mysterious person was just too terrifying!
