Chapter 121 Bullying Others by Taking Advantage of Their Power
The man reluctantly handed over thirty points to exchange for the magic weapon, then gritted his teeth and left. Others also came over to exchange with Tao Tao, and Tao Tao's business boomed instantly.
People from other sects felt uneasy. They all used magical artifacts to exchange for points, so why was her business so good?
The disciples of the Tiangang Sect were standing nearby and couldn't stand it any longer. A few of them angrily rushed over to cause trouble. They pushed through the crowd, stepped on the platform in front of Tao Tao, and shouted, "Can't you see we're next door? It's not very nice of you to come and steal our business, is it?"
"Yeah, you guys are next door, my presence here doesn't bother you. Besides, we're all exchanging magical artifacts for points, I don't have the same path as the senior brothers." Tao Tao looked innocent, expressing his incomprehension.
Perhaps it was because of Tao Tao's behavior that they thought she was easy to bully and would leave if they put a little pressure on her. So they said menacingly, "We said you're blocking our way, so you're blocking our way. Get out of here now, or don't blame us for being impolite."
"This is the Annihilation Cold Sect. How dare you people from the Heavenly Gang Sect bully the sect's disciples?"
Song Chaofeng walked over from the crowd, his tone quite displeased. It was he who had spoken up from behind, creating a sense of crisis for that person, which made him immediately exchange thirty points for a magic weapon.
Tao Tao was very surprised to see him after so long and quickly called out, "Senior Brother Song!"
"Hmm." Song Chaofeng nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the disciples of the Heavenly Gang Sect and said sternly, "You don't actually think that our Annihilation Frost Sect has no one left, do you?"
Upon hearing this, disciples from other sects within the Annihilation Frost Sect all turned to look. Even if there was internal competition among them, it was not their place to bully their own people, so naturally they had to protect Tao Tao.
Upon seeing the large number of people, the members of the Tiangang Sect swallowed hard, but they couldn't afford to lose face here, so they said, "We, the Tiangang Sect, are not afraid of trouble. Don't think you're so great just because you have more people. If you're so capable, let's go to the arena."
They figured these people would vent their anger on Tao Tao, but they definitely wouldn't lose their own points for Tao Tao's sake. So they simply proposed a duel, so they would only have to deal with Tao Tao and Song Chaofeng. These two were only of average cultivation, so they should at least teach them a lesson.
"You're the ones in the wrong. You even tried to accuse me first. Who wants to fight you?" Song Chaofeng saw through their intentions and of course wouldn't agree. He knew Tao Tao was powerful enough, but if he agreed too easily, they would definitely be on guard.
"What, you don't dare? Then get out of here. In the cultivation world, strength is always supreme. If you don't have the ability, then shut up here."
"Who said we're scared!" Before the others could burst into laughter, Tao Tao shouted loudly, and stepped forward, putting away all the magical artifacts they had just used. "Let's fight then, let's go to the arena."
"Don't cry when the time comes. Although I'm gentle and considerate, I won't give you an inch when it comes to important matters."
"No need."
Why should they give way? Tao Tao wasn't afraid at all. She walked over, grabbed Song Chaofeng, glanced at the group of people, and headed towards the nearest arena.
Seeing that Tao Tao was enraged, those people actually gloated, saying as they walked away, "You should take it easy later. After all, she is a junior sister of the Yanhan Sect. It's not good to go too far."
"It's just a lesson for her, she won't be seriously hurt."
They deliberately raised their voices so that Tao Tao could hear them, but Tao Tao didn't care. He just pulled Song Chaofeng aside and asked him about his recent situation and why he hadn't seen him in the first two competitions. Song Chaofeng scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I just went to the preliminary rounds. There were a lot of people there, and I arrived late, so I didn't look for you. But I have heard quite a bit about your exploits."
"What deeds? Logically speaking, I shouldn't have done anything; I've just been lying low."
"People like you are more likely to be noticed. Don't underestimate those who are truly capable; they don't just look at the surface like others do."
"Really?" Tao Tao tilted his head, not thinking too much about it. The two chatted and arrived at the arena. It was an open arena where anyone could participate, but participants needed to pay one point. Both sides could set their own rules for the fight, and there were designated referees. The loser could not cause trouble or cheat.
"This is the place. Let me explain the rules first: the loser must give the winner fifty points. If the loser doesn't have enough points, they can be converted into five hundred spirit stones."
The leader of the Tiangang Sect looked smug. Judging from the rules he set, he wasn't after the so-called points at all, but rather the spirit stones.
Although the martial arts tournament points are the most important, for some people, the honor and disgrace of their sect have nothing to do with them personally. After all, there are many outstanding senior brothers and sisters to win glory for them. They will still think more about themselves, such as these people in front of us, trying to get more spirit stones.
"Five hundred spirit stones? Are you crazy? That's no small amount. What Foundation Establishment disciple would carry that many spirit stones? Besides, even if they did, it would be a loss. Junior sister, you shouldn't compete with that."
"Exactly, he's clearly trying to scam you. His cultivation level is already higher than yours, and there are additional conditions attached. No matter how you look at it, you're the one who's at a disadvantage."
"Stop comparing, there's nothing shameful about it."
"..."
Most people sided with Tao Tao, telling her to stop competing, since she was clearly at a disadvantage. A few people were also afraid that Tao Tao would give up, so they quickly said, "But you agreed to it. Wouldn't it be too cowardly to back out now? Of course, we don't mind. Just hand over those magical artifacts, and we'll pretend nothing happened."
"You've gone too far!" Song Chaofeng couldn't stand it anymore and roared, but the other party just acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, shrugging his shoulders and saying with a rogue's face: "You agreed to it yourselves, so you can't blame us."
"Let's have a competition, but don't forget what you said."
Tao Tao huffed and puffed as she stepped into the arena. The others were overjoyed and looked at the leader, saying, "Senior brother, why don't you go and teach that girl a lesson?"
"Wouldn't that be a bit too much of a bully?" He actually said this insincerely, which made Song Chaofeng roll his eyes. "If you're scared, you can get lost."
"I'm not afraid at all."
As he spoke, the man flew directly onto the arena, then cupped his hands towards Tao Tao and said, "Guang Xiangyang of the Tiangang Sect, please enlighten me, Junior Sister."
"Immortal Spirit Valley of the Annihilation Cold Sect, I am delighted and would not presume to offer my guidance. Let us not harm our harmony in our martial arts exchange."
Tao Tao's tone was very humble, making people think she was scared. The Tian Gang Sect members burst into laughter below the stage, "Of course, sparring is fine, but if you're not strong enough, you can't blame others."
"What that senior brother said is true. It's no one's fault if one's strength is lacking. Please enlighten me, Senior Brother Guang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Tao's eyes changed, and he made a move instantly.
