One person: Everything I use is forbidden.

Chapter 476 You ate two bowls of noodles!

"Spiritual attack!"

As Shi Nan unleashed his final, deadly attack, Ma Chao was knocked unconscious.

Even after he fainted, he continued to murmur Lu Xiaolu's name.

"Tsk, this was really frustrating."

Despite the resounding victory, Shi Nan felt inexplicably displeased.

Perhaps it's because Ma Chao never used his full strength?
Even after being influenced by her attributes, Ma Chao did not have any intention of breaking free.

Yes, it's not that they couldn't break free, but that they didn't.

Even after undergoing special training from Lin Fei and others, and acquiring immense jade power, Shi Nan still clearly sensed Ma Chao's strength.

If he wanted to break free from the shackles of desire, she would not so easily drag him into the abyss of desire.

However, Ma Chao seemed to be indulging in the desires she had aroused.

Or perhaps he was so engrossed in his own madness because of Lu Xiaolu that he couldn't pull himself out of it and had no intention of coming out.

This made Shi Nan very unhappy.

"Congratulations."

After Shi Nan returned, Yan Yu immediately went up to congratulate her.

They had already discussed it yesterday, and today they would each take turns playing one game, with Shi Nan being the first.

"Your turn next, you nerd."

Shi Nan patted Yan Yu on the shoulder. She knew that Yan Yu was much stronger than her, but she had not yet experienced Yan Yu's true strength, and she didn't know who would provoke Yan Yu.

Yan Yu confidently stepped onto the stage. She did not enter her transformed state and remained dressed as a youthful and beautiful student.

As Yan Yu went on stage, the discussion among the audience in the stands quieted down considerably.

There was no way around it; Yan Yu's performance during the Battle of Chang'an was simply too outstanding.

Ordinary people simply don't have the courage to speak loudly in front of Yan Yu.

"Does anyone else want to challenge the Dongwu team?"

Ning Xiaoxiao stood on the podium and asked a question to the entire audience.

Many people were eager to try, but disappeared when they saw the silence of those around them.

During the Battle of Chang'an, the Eastern Wu's performance was quite strong, and many people disapproved of its dominance.

However, they could do nothing about it, as the strength of Eastern Wu was too overwhelming and they simply couldn't contend with it.

Moreover, their conflict with Eastern Wu was at most a matter of face, not a life-or-death feud, so there was no need to provoke trouble at this time.

"Hmph~ I'll do it!"

Just as everyone was silent, a somewhat thin young man stepped onto the arena.

Yan Yu looked at the young man in front of her; she didn't recognize him.

"Xiao Qiao."

After the gaunt young man stepped onto the stage, he merely gave a curt bow and said, "I have no grudges with Dongwu. I've come up here just to ask you a question."

"What?"

Yan Yu was puzzled.

"What is your relationship with the Witch King Shui Jing?"

A sinister glint flashed in the thin young man's eyes, and his words caused an uproar throughout the room.

The Witch King's Water Mirror?

"Is he referring to the Witch King Shui Jing?"

"That terrifying jade harvester?"

"I've heard that at least a hundred, if not more, dozens of jade reincarnations have died at his hands."

The number of jade reincarnations should have been eighty-one, but since jade reincarnation is not a single cycle, it is possible that more than one or two hundred jade reincarnations could die in the same batch.

When Yan Huan traveled the world, he killed many jade reincarnations, which left him with a very bad reputation in the jade industry.

"He's my brother."

Yan Yu remained calm, knowing that the gaunt young man in front of her had come to seek revenge on her brother.

However, after experiencing the Cheng Pu incident, Yan Yu has a clear understanding of the underlying logic of the jade world.

That is, the strong rule!
Whether it's natural talent, background, or personal strength and influence, all are crucial.

If you are strong enough, then you are right!
Back then, Dong Zhuo, because no one could oppose him, led the Xiliang army to commit countless heinous acts in Chang'an.

The New Guandong Alliance was able to defeat most of Dong Zhuo's forces because it was stronger than the Xiliang Army.

Yan Huan did kill quite a few jade reincarnations, but a large portion of them were people who actively sought trouble with him, so he could be considered to have acted in self-defense.

"Hmph! As expected, the sister of the jade harvester is also a jade harvester! No wonder you Eastern Wu are all so strong!"

The gaunt young man's sinister gaze turned into wild joy; he hadn't expected Yan Yu to admit it so readily.

"What?" Yan Yu was stunned. "Who are you calling a jade harvester?"

"Of course it's you! And everyone in Eastern Wu!"

The gaunt young man pointed at the Wu people in the backstage area, and said righteously, "If you weren't jade harvesters, how could you possess such great power! Moreover, the Witch King Shui Jing is your brother, Xiao Qiao. Like brother, like sister!"

"Do you, Xiao Qiao, dare to say you're not a jade harvester?"

The thin young man's words resonated with many people.

Most of the audience members in the stands had a deep aversion to the jade harvesters. They had been wondering why the people of Dongwu were so strong, but now they realized that it was probably because the people of Dongwu had killed many jade reincarnations and absorbed their jade to become stronger!
"Nonsense!"

Yan Yu was furious. She never expected that one day she would be called a jade harvester.

Just as Yan Yu was about to say something more to the thin young man, Wu Haotian had already appeared behind her without her noticing.

He gently patted Yan Yu's shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

After Yan Yu calmed down a bit, Wu Haotian looked at the thin young man again.

"who are you?"

He did not know the thin young man.

"Hmph, I am General Xing Daorong of Lingling!"

The gaunt young man proudly announced his name, "Shui Jing murdered my brother half a year ago, and I've come today to seek justice for him!"

A hint of unease flashed in Yan Yu's eyes, but Wu Haotian stepped in front of her in a flash.

“Xing Daorong? I don’t know him.” Wu Haotian picked at his ear. “Why we are so strong is beyond the comprehension of someone like you. And if you want to say we are jade harvesters, then you’ll have to provide evidence.”

"Without evidence, you're just making baseless accusations against us. I can request permission from the tournament judges to have a life-or-death battle with you!"

Wu Haotian knew very well that Xing Daorong was so arrogant simply because in the second round of the competition, the top eight teams could not go all out against the challengers.

If the Eastern Wu camp kills him now, it will confirm the rumor that the Eastern Wu camp is full of jade harvesters.

However, if the Eastern Wu camp makes no statement, his words will have an impact on others.

This was a very unpleasant situation for the Eastern Wu camp.

Wu Haotian decided to start with the evidence to dispel Xing Daorong's rumors.

"Hmph, what evidence do you need? Everyone can see it! Xiao Qiao is Shui Jing's sister, and your Eastern Wu is strangely strong. Isn't this because you absorbed the jade to enhance yourselves?" Xing Daorong continued to argue irrationally, but Wu Haotian could tell from his words that he had no evidence whatsoever.

So he immediately raised his hand to signal to Ning Xiaoxiao.

"Yuan Shu, I request a life-or-death duel with Xing Daorong."

Wu Haotian's lips curled up slightly, as if he had just been discussing a simple topic like where to go on an outing, rather than a matter of life and death.

A hint of panic flashed in Xing Daorong's eyes.

He had also participated in the Battle of Chang'an, and he knew clearly how powerful Wu Haotian was.

Putting aside whether Wu Haotian has improved during this period, Wu Haotian in the previous Battle of Chang'an was someone he could not contend with!

"Hmph! Sun Ce! Don't try to pressure me like this!"

Before Ning Xiaoxiao could speak, Xing Daorong seized the initiative. He raised his arm, seemingly invincible, and said, "All the audience members here have discerning eyes. You killed one of me, but can you kill everyone else here?"

Xing Daorong was very smart. He knew that he alone would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure from Eastern Wu.

So he decided to drag everyone in the room down with him.

Faced with the sensitive topic of jade harvesters, even if the audience is wary of the strength of Eastern Wu, they will unite to put pressure on Eastern Wu.

"Interesting. Since when is it enough for a whistleblower to just bring their mouth? If I were to say that you, Xing Daorong, betrayed the Jade Stone camp and sold its secrets to other countries, making you a traitor, how would you defend yourself?"

Wu Haotian looked down on the hypocritical Xing Daorong, guessing that the brother Xing Daorong mentioned who was killed by Yan Huan probably didn't even exist.

He's trying to make a name for himself by smearing the Eastern Wu.

"How about this, let's go to the life-or-death arena. If I die, the jade inside my body will naturally be exposed, and then it will be clear whether I am a jade harvester or not."

Wu Haotian opened his arms, revealing his chest.

"And if you die, that will just offset the crime of you slandering us."

Wu Haotian stretched out his hand, and a long spear appeared in his hand. "How about it, do you dare?"

Xing Daorong fell silent; he hadn't expected Wu Haotian to be so aggressive.

He's now being held up.

He accepted the challenge in the arena of life and death, knowing he would surely die.

If he doesn't accept the answer and continues to argue unreasonably, the audience might not believe him completely.

···········
"Wu Haotian is ruthless! Zhang Chulan, did you teach him that?"

Feng Xingtong clicked his tongue. He hadn't expected Wu Haotian to be so unyielding, directly cornering Xing Daorong.

Logically speaking, a passionate young man like Wu Haotian would definitely try his best to defend himself when he is slandered.

This makes it easy for seasoned veterans like Xing Daorong to exploit vulnerabilities and launch attacks.

But now, Wu Haotian is letting his fists do the talking.

Might makes right.

This kind of tough yet thuggish approach sounds too much like Zhang Chulan's style.

Zhang Chulan waved his hand modestly, "I only taught him a few little tricks."

As he spoke, he gestured with his hand to show what the universe between his fingers looked like.

"More importantly, he is eager to learn. Even with his great strength, which allows him to crush nearly 90% of crises, he has never forgotten to keep moving forward and has never forgotten to protect his companions."

This is also the reason why Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu admire Wu Haotian the most.

Wu Haotian can be incredibly ruthless to himself for the sake of his partners.

On the podium, Ning Xiaoxiao looked at Xing Daorong, who was backing down, and realized that it was time for her to step in.

"Please calm down, both the players from Dongwu and the challengers."

Ning Xiaoxiao stepped between the two and reached out to stop them.

"The theme of this conference is to select the best in the world and at the same time sweep away all hatred and grudges."

Ning Xiaoxiao wore a serene smile as she looked at Xing Daorong meaningfully, "If anyone drags their grudges into completely unrelated individuals, they are disrupting the conference."

"Xing Daorong, do you have any evidence that the Eastern Wu camp is a jade harvester?"

Xing Daorong's face stiffened; he really hadn't.

Ning Xiaoxiao nodded. "Since you don't have it, then you can't prove that the Eastern Wu camp is a jade harvester."

"Furthermore, your feud with Shui Jing should not be settled on the arena of Eastern Wu. Now, please step down!"

Ning Xiaoxiao's tone was a little harsh; she knew there must be quite a few people like Xing Daorong.

To ensure the smooth running of the tournament, she had to demonstrate her strength so that other teams would no longer consider defying the rules.

"He doesn't have it, but I do!"

Just as Xing Daorong was at a loss, Liu Zhang suddenly stepped forward.

A burly man in a white robe walked onto the stage, holding a cell phone in his hand.

"This was my last conversation with my friend. He clearly stated the names of several people from Eastern Wu, and then he died."

Liu Zhang's subordinates looked grave. "I think this should prove that those guys from Eastern Wu are jade harvesters, right?"

Ning Xiaoxiao slapped her forehead; she hadn't expected this generation of jade reincarnations to be so foolish.

“I can make several of these recordings for you in a minute.”

Ning Xiaoxiao complained helplessly, "Besides, even if the recording is real, it only proves that Sun Ce and his men did kill your companions, but it doesn't prove that they are jade harvesters."

Ning Xiaoxiao's words resonated with many people.

They have also ruthlessly killed their enemies, but they don't want to be labeled as jade harvesters.

Just as Ning Xiaoxiao was surprised by her own words, Yan Yu suddenly lost her temper.

"You mean, the guy who attacked the tomboy was one of yours?"

A flash of white light, and Yan Yu entered her transformation state.

If it weren't for Lin Fei and the others' help that day, Shi Nan might have really died!
"The thief cries 'Stop thief!'"

Wu Haotian was indifferent, and Lu Xiaolu's face also darkened.

They had already taken care of the jade harvesters who had targeted them, but they never expected that the person behind them would suddenly appear.

In an instant, Leng Mo, Lu Xiaolu, and Shi Nan jumped into the arena and surrounded the burly man.

"Taking advantage of my friend's recent awakening, you plotted to assassinate her and obtain the jade. No wonder you're all so sensitive about jade reincarnations; you're the accomplices behind them!"

Yan Yu's tone was quite cold, and Shi Nan also gripped the spirit snake whip in her hand tightly.

The burly man frowned; he sensed that something was amiss.

laugh!
A screen of light suddenly appeared in front of everyone, a sight that nearly startled Xing Daorong and the burly man, who were already on edge.

The light screen didn't attack anyone; it simply played a video.

The video shows Wu Haotian and his team searching for someone.

Ultimately, they found the heather in the abandoned factory, which was about to be hunted.

Then, they killed the jade harvester, and it was obvious to everyone that the jade harvester was Liu Zhang's subordinate!
