Chapter 1006: Chapter 1006

"Hehe, I didn’t expect that after this round I’d still be in second place. You all need to work hard!"

Seeing his overall score still at second place, Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but teasingly remark.

"Damn it, this is so frustrating."

Long Ao sighed, looking at his name after Wu Xiaoyu’s, feeling a bit bitter inside.

"You guys should be satisfied, huh? Look at me, only 150 points in total, ranking sixth, it’s so embarrassing."

Lin Canghai shook his head repeatedly with a look of despair.

"No worries, no worries, isn’t there someone ranking lower than you?"

Tang Ming patted Lin Canghai on the shoulder and weirdly glanced at Fu Renjie, "You with a total score of less than a hundred, you need to work hard."

Fu Renjie’s face was cloudy, but he couldn’t argue against the reality before him, no matter how displeased he was.

"But honestly, Lin Canghai, your performance is indeed rubbish."

Wu Xiaoyu looked at Lin Canghai with a strange look and complained, "Big Brother Long is understandable since his opponents were properly arranged according to the match process. But the two of us hid a star of our strength. How can you still be so bad?"

"Sister, it’s not my fault, is it?"

Lin Canghai pouted and sighed helplessly, casting a resentful glance at Tang Ming, "When we were quickly dealing with opponents before, hiding our strength should’ve given us an advantage. Didn’t we forfeit? In this round of hidden weapon shooting, I’m not good at hidden weapons and can’t use Gang Qi, there was nothing I could do."

Hearing this, Tang Ming suddenly remembered that Lin Canghai and Wu Xiaoyu both concealed a star of their cultivation!

When the organizers assigned them opponents, of course, it would be one star less. So the probability of them scoring was still quite high.

"I forgot about this matter. Previously, the focus was all about winning the competition, and we only needed one winner among us. I hadn’t considered your scores."

Tang Ming looked apologetically at Wu Xiaoyu and Lin Canghai, promising, "Since it’s , from now on, as long as there’s no danger, you guys can compete freely, and I won’t interfere."

"That’s fine. In this competition, you and Wan Yong are the main characters. The first place will only come between the two of you. In the upcoming matches, we supporting players mainly need to distinguish ourselves from the opposition, so we still have to work hard."

Wu Xiaoyu sighed. Though her rank was second, she had no ambition for first place anymore.

"Hmph, indeed, we need to work hard, at least not having too low scores."

Lin Canghai sneered and looked at Qian Bujun. It seemed like that fat guy was mocking his low score earlier, so it was time to retaliate.

"All of you can now head to the rest area to relax and eat, and prepare well for tomorrow’s match."

After organizing the information, Qin Fang warmly reminded the crowd and then left.

"Damn it, it seems getting first place in this year’s competition is a bit tricky."

As Zhao Tianba walked out, he cursed in frustration, "Even that five-star girl Wu Xiaoyu is ranked ahead of me, it’s infuriating."

"It really is infuriating, but whatever, I still have Lin Canghai beaten."

Qian Bujun dismissively said, glancing coldly at Lin Canghai. Since first place was no longer within reach, his only opponent left was him.

"What are you looking at, fatso? Is a high score that impressive?"

Noticing Qian Bujun looking at him, Lin Canghai coldly cursed.

"Trash, sixty points less than me. I’ll make Xiaoyun realize how big of a mistake choosing you was."

Qian Bujun disdainfully looked at Lin Canghai.

"Mistake? Look at your pig-like appearance, I bet no woman would like you."

Lin Canghai struck a handsome pose and said proudly, "I can’t help it, I just look this suave, attracting girls, is it my fault?"

"You’re asking for it."

Seeing Lin Canghai bring up his appearance, Qian Bujun got furious, threw down his chicken leg, and was ready to fight.

"Hehe, do you want to make a move?"

Long Ao stepped forward, brimming with fighting spirit, looking at Qian Bujun.

Tang Ming and Wu Xiaoyu also shifted their stances, ready to act at any moment.

Qian Bujun’s face was uncertain as he glanced at Wan Yong and the others walking away. He knew if he started now, he’d be no match against Long Ao and others, only humiliate himself.

"Hmph, I’m not gonna stoop to your level."

With a cold snort, Qian Bujun walked away angrily.

This was the difference between the Ming Group and the Dark Group. The Ming Group wasn’t united. Not only did they not help when Qian Bujun had conflicts, they even left, whereas the Dark Group stuck together.

The behavior of these people showed why the Ming Group’s family factions wouldn’t initiate a family war. Once it started, the Dark Group’s family factions would be united, while the Ming Group’s factions would fight individually and be defeated one by one.

After chasing off Qian Bujun, Tang Ming and the others laughed heartily, then they all headed to the rest area together.

On the way, Long Ao and the others kept asking Tang Ming how he broke Wan Yong’s hidden weapon attack at the last moment and discussed how Wan Yong countered Tang Ming’s Sky Rain Gold Needle.

Faced with the trio’s questions, Tang Ming only smiled silently, unwilling to reveal his trump card and seeing Wan Yong as his opponent, there was no need to divulge his attack methods.

After the competition ended, Tang Ming returned to the rest area, promptly diving into the dining hall to gorging himself, having consumed a lot of energy resisting Wan Yong’s attack, he needed to replenish it quickly.

The competition had been ongoing for two days, with Wan Yong and Tang Ming consistently tied for first, making both factions’ families anxious and helpless.

Of course, the Dark Group’s factions were more excited. After so many years, they finally had someone who could rival the Ming Group in the competition, not always being overshadowed.

A night passed without a word. Early the next morning, Tang Ming and the others gathered in the dining hall. Long Ao, Lin Canghai, and Wu Xiaoyu took turns bringing food for Tang Ming, treating him as if he were some revered ancestor.

"Tang Xin, don’t just focus on eating, we should also plan today’s match arrangements."

After bringing a table full of food for Tang Ming, Lin Canghai suggested, speechless.

"The match events and content are arranged by the Ming Group people, is there any point in us planning here?"

With his mouth full, Tang Ming hummed indifferently.

"Group Leader Tang, aren’t you worried at all?"

Long Ao, his face grave, looked at Tang Ming, reminding him, "I can’t believe that yesterday’s Hidden Weapons Room incident was really caused by a hacker attack."
