I Break through Crazily

”Your power? You’re copying me?”

Yui Mu’s face was ashen as he looked at Tang Yi. He said with utter disdain, ”You think you have the right to copy me? Look at us. We have twenty-five candidates from the Three Major Zones. Every one of them is a young prodigy, and every one of them is extraordinarily powerful. *That* is what ’power’ is. Now look at you. What do you have? You dare to copy me? I suggest you hand over the Level 5 Demon Beast’s Demon Beast Crystal right now. It’ll save us some trouble, and you can avoid disaster.”

”PFFT, is that North District candidate an idiot? When he said, ’See this? Power. My power,’ I almost died laughing.”

”I’ve seen shameless people, but never *this* shameless. I’ve seen confident people, but never *this* confident. The North District candidates are just a bunch of weirdos.”

”Of all the things to copy, he had to copy our Brother Yui. Is our Brother Yui someone you can just imitate?”

”He dares to call himself ’power’ all alone. It’s like he doesn’t even see the twenty-plus people from our Three Major Zones.”

”Let’s stop wasting our breath on these North District people and just take it. As if they could protect the Level 5 Demon Beast’s Demon Beast Crystal? What a joke!”

”...”

Hearing Tang Yi’s words, the people from the Three Major Zones all sneered in contempt. They found Tang Yi utterly ridiculous for copying Yui Mu’s words, pointing to himself, and talking about ’power.’ It was the weirdest thing they had ever seen.

However, Tang Yi paid no mind to the jeers and ridicule from the Three Major Zones’ candidates. He simply said, ”In any case, there’s no way I’m handing the Level 5 Demon Beast’s Demon Beast Crystal over to you. I’m not in the habit of giving gifts to strangers. If you want the Demon Beast Crystal, it’s simple. Just come and take it.”

”Come and take it?”

Yui Mu was stunned for a moment. After all he had said, the other guy didn’t seem to care at all? And he was even inviting them to come and take it?

”You’d better think this through. Once we make a move, not only will you suffer, but those North District candidates behind you will also be dragged down with you,” Yui Mu warned again, frowning.

”I have thought it through. And don’t worry, I won’t drag them down. Feel free to come and take it. They won’t lift a finger to help me. If you can snatch this Level 5 Demon Beast’s Demon Beast Crystal, then it’s yours,” Tang Yi said with a smile.

”That’s right, we won’t interfere.”

”Having Brother Yi alone is more than enough. Why would he need our help?”

”Trying to take Brother Yi’s things? I think you’re courting death. Brother Yi can handle all of you by himself. Why would he need our help?”

”And don’t talk about Brother Yi ’dragging us down.’ You all aren’t a big enough threat to get us involved. And even if you were, I’d gladly take the fall with him.”

”That’s right! Well said!”

Hearing Tang Yi, the North District candidates all voiced their agreement.

”Hm?”

Yui Mu was puzzled. He didn’t understand what trick Tang Yi and the North District candidates were trying to pull. However, since the other party was telling him to take it, and even said only one person would fight, wouldn’t he become a laughingstock if he hesitated?

’Twenty-some people from the Three Major Zones, afraid to take something from seven people?’

’No, not seven. Just one!’

’Twenty-some people afraid to take something from a single person? That’s just a joke.’

At this thought, Yui Mu immediately said to Tang Yi, ”Fine. Since you won’t appreciate the chance we’ve given you and insist on choosing the hard way, don’t blame us for being merciless.”

After speaking, Yui Mu turned his head and asked Jiang Kangcheng and Miao Yuan, ”What do you think?”

Yui Mu was only the leader of the few candidates from the West District. He had no authority over the candidates from the South and East Districts, and they wouldn’t listen to his commands.

To command the candidates from the South and East Districts, he needed Jiang Kangcheng and Miao Yuan.

”Hmph. Since the North District won’t cherish the chance we’re giving them, let’s stop wasting our breath. We’ll either kill them outright or force them to use their Help Stones!” Jiang Kangcheng said coldly.

”I have no objections,” Miao Yuan agreed with a nod.

The three reached an agreement. After a brief, quiet discussion, they sent ten candidates to deal with Tang Yi.

Since Tang Yi said the North District candidates wouldn’t help him and that he would be alone, ten candidates should be more than enough.

This was the outcome Yui Mu, Miao Yuan, and Jiang Kangcheng had decided upon.

To be on the safe side, they first sent ten candidates to test the waters. After all, the North District candidates’ behavior was too strange. Sending just one candidate out to face them seemed far too perfunctory.

Sending ten candidates against the one from the North District served a purpose: if there were any surprises, the ten could probe their true strength. If not, they were more than enough to deal with a single candidate.

At that moment, the East District sent out three candidates, the South District also sent out three, and the West District, having the most remaining candidates, sent out four. A group of ten in total, they slowly advanced toward Tang Yi, their eyes filled with malice.

”Kid, it’s not too late to regret this.”

After sending the ten candidates to deal with Tang Yi, Yui Mu sneered.

”Regret? You’re the ones who should be regretting. Trying to snatch a Level 5 Demon Beast’s Demon Beast Crystal with a mere ten people? I think you’re delusional,” Tang Yi said scornfully.

”SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!”

At this moment, the ten candidates sent by the Three Major Zones were already rushing toward Tang Yi.

Some carried swords, some wielded sabers, and some used axes. Of the ten, eight were armed while only two held nothing. The large group swarmed forward, looking extremely intimidating.

Moreover, each one of them radiated a powerful aura. It seemed every one of them was at least a Battle Grandmaster. One or two were even Nine-star Battle Grandmasters, nearly at the level of a Battle Spirit.

Of course, for ordinary candidates, such a force would be incredibly powerful and impossible for one person to resist.

But for Tang Yi...

Heh, they weren’t even enough to get stuck in his teeth!

So, when Tang Yi saw these ten people charging at him like fierce tigers, he didn’t even flinch. He just stood his ground, calm and composed. And, in an incredibly cocky move, he even closed his eyes.

Perhaps for Tang Yi, there was no need to open his eyes to deal with opponents of this caliber.

But...

But the candidates from the Three Major Zones certainly didn’t see it that way.

”Damn it, and here I thought he was some big shot. He was so confident before, telling us to come and take it from him. Now that people are actually going, he’s so scared he closed his eyes? Heh, so he’s all bark and no bite.”

”HAHAHA, this is killing me! He was acting all tough before, refusing to hand over the Demon Beast Crystal no matter what. Now he’s just closing his eyes. What a fucking idiot. If he knew this was going to happen, why did he even bother?”

”This is a classic case of ’suffering for the sake of pride.’”

”The North District candidates are a lost cause. They’re so damn weird.”

”...”

Seeing Tang Yi close his eyes, all the candidates from the Three Major Zones assumed he was scared. They figured the only reason he hadn’t handed over the Demon Beast Crystal earlier was that he was too proud and was just putting up a brave front.

This all seemed ridiculous to the candidates from the Three Major Zones, and the looks they gave the North District candidates grew even more disdainful.

But...
