Chapter 366 The Final Battle Begins
Chapter 366 The Final Battle Begins
At Qianfeng Mountain, Zheng Qian defeated the rest of the four powerful forces in the Southern Region. Standing atop the mountain, he looked up at the clouds and down at the mountains and rivers.
There are three patriarch-level figures among the clouds, and Yun Youzi is his master, so he will definitely support him and build up his own camp. Whether he can gain the favor of Wu Chengming and Dongfang the Gambler and help him develop his rear power depends on this battle.
Whether these fifty countries can develop depends on this war.
Whoosh... Boom...
The whistle-piercing arrow flew into the air and exploded, illuminating the dim sky with a large "5".
Zheng Qian has once again revealed his location, signaling the start of a decisive battle. At this point, the four major forces still have 318 members. Instead of defeating them one by one, Zheng Qian chooses to directly challenge the geniuses of the four forces.
A dazzling prodigy, worthy of investment and support.
Zheng Qian was unaware that when he unleashed the Wave Surge Fist, Wu Chengming and Dongfang the Gambler had already chosen to be his protectors and supporters. Now, all he had to do was fight with all his might against the 318 geniuses.
"Holy crap, Zheng Qian's gone mad, he's gone mad!" You Laohu roared, and with a whoosh, he flew towards the mountaintop.
"Tiger, hold on, wait for us." Dongfang Yifeng hurriedly followed. If Tiger You was knocked down with one punch, they would be missing one of their main players.
Ye Lanshuang stomped her foot and followed Dongfang Yifeng towards the mountaintop, cursing under her breath, "You Tiger, you're such a fool, you don't know how to unite, just wait to get beaten to a pulp."
"I can't wait. I don't believe I can't beat him." You Laohu felt insulted. In the Southern Region, besides Li Zun, who else was he afraid of at the same level?
He's not even afraid of Li Zun now, and is confident he can fight Li Zun, who's wearing the Nine Dragons Gauntlets, for thirty moves without losing. As for Dongfang Yifeng's claim that Zheng Qian defeated Ding Yu with half a punch, You Laohu doesn't believe it.
Ding Yu of the Shadowless Sect fought him; he was very strong.
Wu Ye was faster, flying close to the ground and occasionally using the ground to bounce and accelerate, soaring ahead of You Laohu. But as they neared the summit, Wu Ye slowed down and disappeared into the shadows.
Assassins will not choose direct combat unless in a life-or-death crisis.
From the clouds, Wu Chengming looked regretful: "He acted impulsively. Zheng Qian acted impulsively. There are still more than three hundred people on the other side. He can't even withstand one move from each of them. How can he face them head-on?"
"His personality is too sharp and arrogant, so encountering some setbacks is a good thing. Regardless of winning or losing, he is the strongest genius in the Southern Region, and he is someone we need to protect." There was a hint of pride in Dongfang Gambling King's eyes. At this moment, his team, like Wu Chengming's, was on the same team as Zheng Qian.
As for the lost bets, although they were heartbroken, the thought of being Zheng Qian's protectors made them want to shout three words: it doesn't matter.
If Zheng Qian asks for money or cultivation techniques, they will give him more.
Investing in a prodigy means letting him enjoy himself, allowing him to focus solely on improving his combat abilities, providing him with support, and motivating him to forge ahead.
Yun Youzi neither agreed nor refused, remaining calm.
“Yun Youzi, although Zheng Qian is your disciple, he is not your personal property. He should belong to the Southern Region, to the human race.” Wu Chengming was very displeased. Yun Youzi hadn’t budged yet, and he was getting anxious. What if Yun Youzi disagreed and tried to persuade Zheng Qian? If they couldn’t be his protectors, how could they benefit from his good fortune?
“That’s right. It’s not a disgrace for you that we two are Zheng Qian’s protectors. If you still have any complaints, then you’re really letting down our centuries-old friendship.” Dongfang Gambler took a swig of wine. He and Wu Chengming had been putting on this act for so long, but Yun Youzi wouldn’t budge an inch, making them lose face.
"Are you really going to become the protector?" Yun Youzi looked at the two of them. If he didn't express his opinion or refused again, a conflict would break out.
"It's a done deal." Wu Chengming and Dongfang the Gambler agreed at the same time. They knew that Yun Youzi was about to agree to their request.
Yun Youzi said disdainfully, "You two are too weak. Once Zheng Qian grows up, his enemies will be very powerful, and you won't be able to protect him."
Damn it, you still think we're too weak?
Wu Chengming patted his chest and assured him, "The Dongfang family will always be Zheng Qian's support. This is my promise, Wu Chengming."
Not to be outdone, the Eastern Gambling King raised his wine gourd and swore: "I, the Eastern Gambling King, swear that I will do everything in my power to help Zheng Qian grow and protect him. If I break this oath, may I die and perish."
Yun Youzi nodded slightly, satisfied with their statements, and said, "I'll think about it."
Still need to consider? What do you need to consider?
"Oh, big brother, I, Wu Chengming, will call you big brother. Don't hesitate. With me protecting him as he grows up, you can rest assured that nothing will happen." Wu Chengming was almost crying. In over three hundred years, when had he ever asked anyone for help? If Zheng Qian hadn't been so exceptionally talented, he wouldn't have even given him a second glance. Why would he be shamelessly begging Yun Youzi like this?
"I, the Eastern Gambling King, also call you Big Brother. With me here, Zheng Qian will be able to walk sideways from now on and become a local overlord sooner or later. You can rest assured." The Eastern Gambling King pleaded, determined to be his protector today.
Zheng Qian left the Twin Absolute Domain half an hour later than everyone else, and they already had many ulterior motives. It seemed that Zheng Qian was inviting them to join the game, but in reality, they joined voluntarily.
The old monster's thoughts were so sharp that he thought ten steps ahead for every one step he took.
There are still many old monsters in the Southern Region. When they learn that Zheng Qian received special treatment from the Twin Absolute Domains, arriving half an hour later, and that he even created his own fist technique, defeating Ding Yu, the strongest Dragon-Sculpting Realm expert from the Shadowless Sect, with just half a punch, they will all rush to become his protectors. Whether they will still have a place then is hard to say.
“Alright.” Yun Youzi agreed, but then he changed the subject and said, “If you want to be my disciple’s protector, you have to agree to my conditions.”
"What are your conditions? Tell me." Wu Chengming pounded his chest until it was bruised, and promised, "Just tell me, and I, Wu Chengming, will absolutely not haggle."
"Name your terms, and I, the Eastern Gambler, will agree to them all without hesitation." The Eastern Gambler's heart finally settled down; he had secured the role of protector.
"I haven't thought it through yet. I'll let you know when I do." Yun Youzi really hadn't decided what conditions to ask. He had the cultivation techniques and he had the money. He couldn't think of anything Zheng Qian was lacking right now.
Speaking of backers, Yun Youzi is Zheng Qian's backer. Not to mention, the strongest sect in the Southern Region, the Heavenly Vein Sect, is also Zheng Qian's backer.
"Haha, take your time thinking it over, and tell us when you've made up your mind." Wu Chengming and Dongfang the Gambler exchanged a smile; their long-running charade had finally worked.
With their level of understanding, they could naturally see that Zheng Qian had the strength to confront over three hundred geniuses from the Southern Region head-on. If Zheng Qian employed guerrilla tactics, defeating them one by one, he would surely win this battle.
The more powerful a person is, the more they follow cause and effect; similarly, they all know that extraordinary talents are rare and hard to come by. The cause and effect and opportunities of the protectors will change as the extraordinary talents grow.
When Zheng Qian encounters enemies and engages in battle, his protectors may also join the fight, reliving their exciting life journey and experiencing a renewed sense of vitality. As Zheng Qian's fame spreads throughout the land, they, as his protectors, also gain renown and enjoy the benefits of his fame.
In short, the protectors grow alongside the prodigies. The higher the prodigy grows, the more benefits the protectors receive.
As Wu Chengming and Dongfang Gambling King accompany Zheng Qian's growth, they too will embark on a miraculous journey.
A prodigy, blessed with good fortune, born with a legendary aura.
