Dugu Bo walked forward and examined the Adamantite Wolf's body.
Watching the slowly rising black soul ring, he confirmed its death before turning to Ouyang Zi and saying:
"Xiao Zi, did you see that? This is the power of poison. As long as it's used properly, even a powerful ten-thousand-year soul beast can be easily eliminated."
Ouyang Zi also slowly recovered from the deep shock.
Her bright eyes were wide open, like two dazzling gems, her eyes filled with disbelief.
With a face full of reverence, her gaze was fixed on Dugu Bo, and her voice was clear and firm as she said:
"Master, your poison skills are simply miraculous, so amazing! That scene just now shocked me deeply and gave me a new understanding of poison."
"I must study hard, diligently research the mysteries of poison, and be as powerful as you in the future, becoming a respected poison master, bringing glory to my master and adding splendor to my clan!"
Dugu Bo's old face flushed with praise.
"Let's go, let's go, we won't make it to the competition if we delay any longer!"
"This Adamantite Wolf's ten-thousand-year soul ring only increases strength, it's not very useful to you, so let it dissipate freely."
"Okay!"
Ouyang Zi obediently nodded and followed behind Dugu Bo, continuing back towards the castle.
Inside the castle.
Colorful flags fluttered around the venue, and the breeze rustled, making a sound as if dancing happily, welcoming the upcoming extreme challenge!
On both sides of the track, rows of new and comfortable seats were neatly arranged, waiting for Spectator to arrive.
In the center of the venue, a tall referee platform stood, dignified and solemn.
The Speed Clan members were busy doing the final checks, their eyes filled with anticipation and pride.
The setting sun shone on them, as if covering them with a layer of golden brilliance.
The entire venue was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere, as if announcing that a wonderful speed duel was about to begin.
Bai He Clan Leader thought for a moment, raised his head slightly, a trace of worry revealed in his eyes, and slowly said to Zhuge Lan beside him:
"Zhuge Lan, if this speed competition is held immediately, I feel that it's too rushed and a bit inappropriate."
"What do you mean?"
Zhuge Lan asked doubtfully.
"The light is dim at night, and the track conditions are difficult to clearly identify. The contestants are not only prone to accidents, making it difficult to fully display their strength and style, but also the referees will find it difficult to accurately judge the fairness of the competition. How about we change the competition to tomorrow morning? I don't feel good about holding the competition at night."
Zhuge Lan squinted his eyes in confusion and scratched his head, saying:
"Father-in-law, the contestants are almost done warming up, it's not good to change the time now. There's more atmosphere at night, and it's dark, maybe there will be some exciting surprises. Think about it, what if someone runs into a tree while running, how interesting would that be, maybe it could make everyone laugh."
Bai He Clan Leader was annoyed when he heard this:
"Laugh at what? No! It must be changed to tomorrow morning. It's already dark at night, and our Speed Clan is extremely fast, maybe we can't even see clearly during the day, let alone at night!"
"The competition must be held at the most suitable time, so as to ensure fairness and justice, so that everyone can exert their true strength. Holding the competition at night is just a waste of time. The elderly and children in the family have to rest at night! Quickly inform everyone that the competition will be changed to tomorrow morning."
Zhuge Lan shrugged helplessly and muttered:
"What if those contestants have opinions..."
"If anyone dares to have an opinion, let them come to me!"
Bai He Clan Leader said loudly.
"Okay... I'll listen to you, Father-in-law."
Zhuge Lan agreed helplessly.
He dragged his heavy steps, walking slowly, while repeatedly pondering in his mind how to explain the postponement of the competition to everyone.
His brow was furrowed, his face full of sorrow, and he muttered to himself:
"Oh dear, I'm really convinced, everyone else has finished their warm-up for the competition, and it's about to start before they say they want to change the date..."
"Why did you agree so quickly when it was first proposed, saying 'oh, this is good, this is good,' and now, you want me to be the bad guy..."
Zhuge Lan was in a dilemma when Bai Chenxiang walked over from the side:
"What are you thinking about, looking so worried."
Zhuge Lan's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had found a life-saving straw, and he directly picked up Bai Chenxiang and spun her around twice in place.
Bai Chenxiang was also confused by Zhuge Lan's actions.
Then Zhuge Lan put down Bai Chenxiang, made a very chuunibyou pose, and pointed at Bai Chenxiang with one finger:
"Go! It's decided, it's you!"
"What kind of ghost idea are you thinking about!"
Bai Chenxiang complained with her hands on her hips.
"Isn't it your father, my dear? Everyone has prepared everything for the competition, and it's about to start before he says he wants to change the date, how can I explain this to the elders and folks of the Speed Clan..."
Zhuge Lan hugged Bai Chenxiang and complained coquettishly.
"Now only you can help me, my good wife."
Bai Chenxiang: Alright, alright, so you're looking for a scapegoat, right?
Although Bai Chenxiang complained in her heart, she still went to tell everyone about the postponement of the competition for Zhuge Lan.
When Bai Chenxiang conveyed the news of the postponement of the competition to everyone, the scene was in an uproar.
Someone immediately shouted: "How can you change it just like that? We're ready now, and we've finished warming up."
Another person also said with a displeased face: "That's right, isn't this just messing with people."
Bai Chenxiang's face showed an awkward smile, and she quickly explained:
"Everyone, I'm really sorry. It's the Clan Leader who, after careful consideration, felt that there were many improprieties in holding the competition at night. For everyone's safety and fairness, he decided to change it to tomorrow morning. Please be considerate."
Sure enough, relying on Bai Chenxiang's appearance, her gorgeous face and sweet voice made many people soften their hearts and say they could understand.
However, there was still a small group of people who were relentless and complained:
"Even if it's the Clan Leader's decision, it can't be so sudden. We've all arranged our time for the evening, and now it's all messed up."
Bai Chenxiang also said very patiently:
"I understand your feelings, but the Clan Leader has given the order, and there are indeed a few more dangers in the competition at night. Everyone should just take it as more time to prepare, rest well tonight, and go all out tomorrow to strive for good results, okay."
After Bai Chenxiang's patient explanation, although everyone still had dissatisfaction in their hearts, they also knew that they could not change the decision and could only reluctantly accept it.
Seeing that everyone's attitude had eased, Bai Chenxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and silently became angry in her heart:
"That damn Zhuge Lan, making me take the blame, I'm so angry! You'll be in trouble later."
