Chapter 66: Rivals in Love Meet!

  After a few minutes of preparation, the troops from both sides boarded the inspection platform, where supervisors checked whether their armor and equipment were functioning normally and whether there was any cheating behavior.

  Muxi'er, also as a supervisor, appeared on the inspection platform. Although she didn't quite understand armor detection, she still put on an appearance of being humble and eager to learn.

  This was also the first time Xiao Hong had been so close to Mu Xi, with only less than two meters between them. Unfortunately, due to Xiao Hong's ordinary appearance and figure, he didn't have any striking features that could attract Mu Xi's attention. He could only watch as Mu Xi walked past him, leaving behind a faint scent of her body and the slightly flushed cheeks of Xiao Hong.

  "Miss Muxi'er, upon closer inspection, you are indeed very beautiful. Don't worry, just wait and see, I will definitely be the best in this whole scene. It would be my honor to take a photo with the lovely Miss Muxi'er." Just as Muxi'er was walking past Xinyu Sheng's side, he slightly raised his signature smile, looking elegant and refined.

  "Thank you." Murong Xi'er replied with a smile just as politely.

  Xiao Hong's expression turned slightly ugly as he watched the scene, his heart feeling sour and angry at the same time. He couldn't help but feel that the oily-faced guy was unbearable to look at, and he didn't know why, maybe it was just his male hormones acting up again.

  "Look, a silver tongue can win women's hearts, unlike that wooden head of ours." Huang Mao glanced at Xin Yusheng and then looked at Xiao Hong, who had not caught Mu Xi'er's attention, and said to Zhuang Hai Dao.

  "Don't talk like that, the more I look at that Xin guy, the more annoying he becomes. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't beat him, I would have torn him apart long ago." Zhuang Hai responded with a slight narrowing of his eyes, while in the distance, nearly a hundred girls on the viewing platform were screaming and shouting Xin Yu Sheng's name, their voices piercing Zhuang Hai's eardrums.

  "Vulgarity!" Huang Mao and Zhuang Hai exchanged a glance at those infatuated girls, then looked at Xin Yu Sheng, almost in unison, also feeling indignant for Xiao Hong's injustice.

  "Master Xiao, Xiao Hong!"

  "God of Beauty, Xiao Hong!"

  Just as Huang Mao and Zhuang Hai were speaking in unison, a louder voice suddenly came from the other side of the stands, its volume clearly meant to drown out the opposing stand's chants.

  Following the sound, I saw a group of middle-aged women holding placards and shouting loudly.

  Originally, there were no neutral spectators with a large following for this battle. Seeing such a scene, one's spirit couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly became interested. On one side was a beautiful young girl in her youth, on the other side was a mature woman with lingering charm. The championship has been held for many years, but something like this is still a first-time sight.

  "Xiao Hong? Who is Xiao Hong?"

  "That one, the one with a pale face and looks thin." An audience member pointed at Xiao Hong on the inspection platform, because on a large screen, Xiao Hong's photo and information had already been printed out: Yu Tu Sixth Level, boss of Da Hong Mei Zhi Center.

  "The two teams are indeed idols of different age groups, but in terms of strength, the Haxin team is obviously much stronger than the Bi'an team." Another spectator said, clearly not optimistic about the Bi'an team, even though they had previously achieved a miraculous comeback and entered the main tournament. However, the Haxin team in front of them was more powerful than the Beilong team.

  Returning to the monitoring desk, Mu Xi'er naturally noticed such a voice, and Xiao Hong's name was also heard by her for the first time. She looked at the inspection platform, focusing her gaze on Xiao Hong, but unfortunately, Xiao Hong's appearance was too ordinary, just one glance, Mu Xi'er had already shifted her gaze away, basically not taking another look.

  As for others, whether judges or spectators, they all looked calm and collected. The two teams were basically not seeded teams in the tournament, and there was no suspense in their eyes either. They had all seen the teams' information, and what Team Petrichor could come up with was basically just Xiao Hong. Although Ren Hui returned, it seemed to change nothing.

  On the inspection platform, although the two members of the team seemed friendly, their eyes were not friendly at all.

  They just slightly bowed to each other and then prepared to enter the arena from two directions.

  "Come on, buddy!" Just as Xiao Hong turned to leave, Xin Yu Sheng suddenly lightly patted Xiao Hong's shoulder from behind and said with a friendly tone, then slightly smiled and turned to leave.

  Such an action, if it were an ordinary person, might not have been noticed at all, but Xiao Hong's vigilance was high, and he didn't overreact either. He kept walking forward while lowering his voice and asked Ren Xiang beside him: "Take a look at my right shoulder, is there anything unusual?"

  Ren Xiang followed suit, casting a glance at Xiao Hong's right shoulder. At first glance, there was nothing out of the ordinary, but Ren Xiang's mind wasn't careless. Upon closer inspection, he suddenly discovered that on the silver-white armor on his shoulder, there seemed to be some silver-white powder.

  "There is some mysterious powder that has been absorbed onto your armor." Ren Xiang said in a low voice, apparently at this moment, he seemed to have realized that something was not right, and the opponent might use a treacherous trick.

  As soon as he turned the corner, Xiao Hong quickly stretched out his hand and lightly wiped his shoulder, only to find a bit of silver-white powder on his fingertips. If it were an ordinary person, they might have thought it was just ordinary iron filings or rock powder.

  However, Xiao Hong, who had read extensively and had a mind like an encyclopedia, recognized at first glance that this was magnet dust.

  This material is rare in Tai Wu City, and even throughout the entire planet of Yu Run. Its main use is for making directional magic patterns, which have a slight magnetic property and echo. If not cleaned, it's difficult to completely remove, and this sand will be accurately captured by special detection magic patterns as long as it sticks to the body, even if only a little bit.

  With this analysis, Xiao Hong's eyes narrowed slightly. What the other party wanted to do, he had already guessed eight or nine out of ten. Now he was certain that his opponent must have a probing magic mark to detect such supplies. In battle, they would lock onto him at the first moment and then mobilize the entire team to surround and kill him. Once he fell, the Pinnacle War Team would be as good as defeated.

  Another annoying thing is that it's almost impossible to completely get rid of these supplies now.

  "As expected, it's quite sinister." Xiao Hong muttered to himself, but he didn't show much expression. Fortunately, since Hai Xin's team wanted to surround and kill him, then so be it, let's see who would laugh in the end. Xiao Hong thought to himself, and subconsciously glanced at Mu Xi'er, who was looking around nervously, and lightly clenched his fists.

  Soon, Xiao Hong and others arrived at the starting platform for final preparations.

  "Hong Ge, at this time, aren't you going to arrange the tactics?" Huang Mao asked, after the last battle, they had an instinctive dependence on Xiao Hong, and this time Xiao Hong didn't arrange the tactics, which made them a little confused.

  "Tactics are just me alone, you all hide behind and that's fine." Xiao Hong replied with a slightly restored calm expression.

  "Alone?" Ren Xiang was somewhat stunned, alone, which means he would have to be a lone hero, is that okay? Presumably only those with absolute strength would choose this path. According to their previous understanding, Xiao Hong was only a sixth-level cultivator, even if he had diligently practiced and reached the seventh level in these few days, what could he do? Xin Yu Sheng was also at the seventh level.

  However, Xiao Hongke didn't bother with all that, took out Hu Ya's battle pattern, Ying Ji's battle pattern and Mo Nai's auxiliary pattern, drove them one after another, and then gave his teammates the status of Mo Nai. Then, when the launch platform was at the same horizontal level as the ground, Xiao Hongke directly rushed out and sprinted forward.

  On the other side, Xin Yu Sheng was eager to try, and glanced slightly at Mu Xi Er on the supervisor's platform. Under the stimulation of male hormones, Xin Yu Sheng had a desire to show off himself, which is also the instinct of male animals in nature.

  "Remember, after we take down Xiao Hong, everyone's problem will be solved by me. I'll take care of this MVP, got it?" Xinyu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and then activated two combat tattoos at the same time, followed by a snake-shaped detection magic tattoo.

  In an instant, a small light screen with a grid appeared on Xin Yu Sheng's arm, with a red dot moving on it, which was Xiao Hong!

  The people around him saw this scene and smiled slightly, now they naturally understood everything, that is, Xin Yu Sheng wanted to pursue Mu Xi Er, although the difficulty was very high, but looking at Xin Yu Sheng, he wasn't bad either. The innocent and lovely young girl liked two things: handsome guys and heroes.

  "Don't worry, Captain, but after it's all over, don't forget about us few." Deputy Captain Ni Ya smiled faintly.

  "We won't let you down." Xīn Yǔ Shēng responded, and began to set up the tactics to ambush Xiāo Hóng. Three people advanced on the middle road, two people ambushed at a designated location, once they engaged with Xiāo Hóng, all five would attack together. As for the other members of Biǎn àn War Team, they were left unattended for the time being.

  After finishing all this, Xin Yu Sheng brought the deputy captain Ni Ya to start advancing from the middle road, quickly approaching Xiao Hong. The other two team members were moving through the ruins of the building, trying their best to hide their tracks. Of course, doing so would slow them down a bit, but fortunately, they had already set up the battle location and there was still enough time.

  At the same time, in the luxurious box, Mo Xuan had already tidied up his military uniform and was about to leave after discussing some matters with the mayor. As for the battle between the Bei'an team and the Haixin team, he didn't pay much attention to it.

  The previous Dawn Raiders' match was a heavyweight showdown that was already unbearable, so what's the point of this unknown match now?

  However, just as Mo Xuan was about to leave, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of a light screen, which displayed the information of the contestants, including the magic patterns they used.
