Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Elysia Xander Withdraws from the Academy Tournant
The five from Capital tropolitan knew they couldn’t snatch it from her, and didn’t want to end up burned like Elysia Xander.
But they weren’t willing to leave just like that.
The leader among them said,
“We won’t fight for it, but having two ghost bottles is useless for you. Why not give the other one to us?”
He paused, then added,
“You can na your price.”
Before Scarlett Jennings could say a word, Ashton Todd suddenly popped his head out and interrupted,
“Would cash work?”
The leader was startled at the ntion of money but quickly agreed,
“Sure!”
Ashton Todd imdiately perked up, “How much can you offer?”
As soon as he spoke, Stella Gibson elbowed him in the side, while Scarlett Jennings, Gregory Xander, and others looked at him exasperatedly.
Ashton Todd quickly snapped back to his senses and changed his tune, righteously saying,
“No matter how much you offer, we won’t sell! This is the academy contest, not a flea market!”
Leader: …
Weren’t you the one who suggested money?
Though speechless, he knew the one making decisions should be Scarlett Jennings, so he turned to this famous newcor online and said,
“Scarlett, why don’t you set a condition?”
Scarlett Jennings didn’t respond, instead gesturing to Gregory Xander by her side, “Don’t ask , ask him.”
She said,
“Gregory Xander is our senior, he decides whether to give it to you or not.”
Gregory Xander clearly didn’t expect Scarlett Jennings to say that, glancing at her instinctively, but soon understood her reasoning.
It was because of Elysia Xander.
No matter the condition, giving that ghost bottle to the people from Capital tropolitan was as good as giving it to Elysia Xander.
Everyone knew of the “grudges” between him and Elysia, so whether or not to give it to her should be his call.
Scarlett Jennings’ words instantly gained the support of the others.
Gregory Xander felt a warmth inside, and when he looked at Elysia on the ground again, his face showed a hint of seriousness.
Elysia t his gaze but looked away,
“Don’t think I’ll beg you.”
Gregory Xander looked at her expressionlessly,
“Even if you begged , I wouldn’t give you this ghost bottle.”
Although he was principled and observant of rules, he wasn’t without temper.
Scarlett’s Fire Thunder Talisman was to teach Elysia a lesson, but Elysia’s Fire Thunder Talisman aid to seriously injure or kill them.
If he still played the card of looking out for the bigger picture and handed over the ghost bottle, it would be a disservice to the comrades behind him.
However, since he was from Capital tropolitan, he couldn’t let them face an early elimination, so after a mont of silence, he turned to the leader and said,
“Have Elysia Xander withdraw from this academy contest, and you can take this ghost bottle.”
Upon hearing this, resentnt flashed in Elysia’s eyes.
The five from Capital tropolitan also looked serious.
Gregory Xander felt relaxed after speaking his piece.
Forget the idea of competing openly and justly to the end as a mber of the Xander family, to heck with that!
He just didn’t want to see that person anymore.
He was simply annoyed by her!
The contest had already been held, and he’d won, he didn’t want to endure seeing her arrogance in the following two matches.
Scarlett Jennings slightly raised an eyebrow, clearly having no objections to this condition.
“You!”
Elysia’s heart was filled with resentnt, wanting to say sothing to chastise Gregory Xander for his impropriety, but was worried the others might actually agree to his terms.
After all, in their group of six, not everyone followed her lead.
Just when she was about to speak, the leader interrupted her, turning instead to Gregory Xander’s group to say,
“Sorry, we can’t accept that condition.”
Even though he disliked so of Elysia’s actions, in this contest, they were a team.
They represented the Capital Taoist Academy.
Elysia could have her qualification revoked by the judges for malicious intent, but they couldn’t actively kick her out of the team.
If they agreed, it would really make Capital tropolitan the laughing stock of the Mystical Sect.
“We forfeit the first round.”
The leader said, gesturing to the two behind him, with looks of defeat on their faces, as they helped Elysia up and led her away.
Elysia was still dissatisfied.
Why should they give up just like that?!
“I am the captain of this round, why do you get to decide to forfeit? I don’t agree!”
As she continued to argue, the leader shot her a sharp look, unable to hold back his stern rebuke,
“Shut up! If you hadn’t outright killed an evil ghost at the start, would we need to forfeit?!”
If she hadn’t tried to show off in front of Gregory Xander and instead captured that evil ghost, they wouldn’t have to tolerate the Sea City group!
If they couldn’t win in a fight, what could they do?!
Elysia was eventually dragged away from the building by the others.
As soon as they left, the Spritelife Group and the North City Group arrived too.
Scarlett Jennings had no intention of clashing with all three groups in the first round, and directly signaled Nathan White to hand over the extra ghost bottle.
“There’s only one ghost bottle left. Whoever wants it, you decide amongst yourselves.”
In the North City, Cedric Wilder’s group, upon hearing there was only one ghost bottle, glanced at the Spritelife Group, ready for a brawl.
The Spritelife Group then realized that the evil ghost they killed earlier was one of the tasks for this round, cursed secretly yet didn’t appear too troubled.
Co on, they’re demons.
In a fight, how could they lose to a bunch of Mystical Sect mbers who haven’t graduated yet?!
Just as they posed to brawl against the North City students, the cold leader of the Spritelife Group suddenly focused his gaze on Scarlett Jennings.
“We don’t want that one.”
Staring at Scarlett Jennings, his eyes suddenly flashed a demonic gleam, like a wolf eyeing its prey.
He said,
“I want the one in your hands.”
He was outright challenging them.
The North City group watched the unfolding drama with interest.
Scarlett Jennings t the boy’s eyes, after a mont, slowly stepped forward, directly drawing a Thunder Talisman,
“If you really want to fight, I’m ready.”
As her words echoed, her companions imdiately prepared their formations again, while Gregory Xander brandished his Peach Wood Sword, standing beside Scarlett.
The atmosphere was instantly charged with tension, and just as they were about to clash, a young chubby mber of the Spritelife Group stepped out.
“I’ll do it! Let handle this!”
The plump boy walked out confidently, looked at the cold leader, and said,
“Callum, let in front, they won’t dare hit !”
Called Callum, the cold leader glanced at the chubby boy, indifferent.
The others in the Spritelife Group seed to know sothing, watching with amusent, and one of the demons even encouraged,
“Hill! It’s all you! Show these humans your true form! Scare them to death!”
Scarlett and her team didn’t act imdiately.
After all, they were up against the Demon Clan, who, though appeared as little demons, might have special abilities?
Especially that chubby one called Hill.
For him to stand so boldly at the forefront, what could his true form be?
A ferocious beast?
A fierce beast?
Scarlett’s team watched tensely, except for Nathan White holding the two ghost bottles at the back, trembling and hesitant to speak.
Just as the crew from Sea City and the audience held their breath in suspense, Hill took another step forward, concentrating hard.
As demon energy began to pour out of him, there was a sudden sound, and in front of everyone’s eyes, the chubby boy transford into…
A round and plump giant panda!
Everyone present, including Scarlett Jennings, was stunned.
The audience outside was equally dumbfounded.
“Pan-Panda?!”
Oh my,
National treasure!
How are they supposed to fight now?!
This is downright cheating!!
