A Failure's hopeful Journey

Chapter 224: Killing The Monkey.

You Xi Wang and the others greeted the faculty and waited for the airship to arrive. In the meantime, the Maestro opened the rule book and read it. This booklet described the way the contest was going to progress. 

The first round of the contest was Primary Group Stage. Every sector had nine cities, every city is a group slot. So nine groups per sector and every sector will have separate nine groups. These nine groups will fight against each other in a ranking tournament. The top nine rankers will represent the sector they belong to. 

Then the second stage will begin, Nine random groups will be formed based on a lottery system and the top eighty-one players will be pitted against each other. They will again fight for the top spot. This time only the group champion will advance to the third and the final stage

They will all be dropped on a deserted island. Their spirit weapons will be scattered over the place. They will have to face spirit beasts and the opponent. They will have to defeat everyone within half a month. Their spirit weapons will be stored in a safe box, which will only open for them. Though other participants can hide these boxes to make things difficult for the opponents. Since they are all champions they were not allowed to kill, maim or cripple each other or they will be destroyed by the preceding officer right that moment. 

Only the third round will be telecasted live all over the world. You Xi Wang nodded finding this very interesting. He said to his sister, "Chichi, this time the contest is very interesting. I am feeling excited."

You Zhichi shook her head and said, "Well, just don't go finding opponents as soon as we land." she was helpless. This brat next to her awakened his martial spirit and now he gets excited at any mention of battle. This was an inevitable effect of the martial spirit awakening. You Xi Wang spoke, "Say, I have, divine thorn, purgatory, swift bow. What type of weapon should I choose as the next one? Should I get myself a pair of brawling gloves or a whip or a dagger?"

You Zhichi raised her hand and chopped on top of his head. She spat, "Stop it gougou. You will find spirit weapons later. First focus on the first round of the competition. What do you think should be our strategy?"

You Xi Wang exhaled heavily and after pondering for a few minutes he spoke, "Killing the monkey. Monkey is the strongest contender of a city. Deal with them and the chicken keeps clear of us on its own." he paused and then continued, "We will all be on the same ship to the Imperial Sector. Our techno Sector city geniuses will try to probe. Yo, star eyes. You two will be the probes on our side. Let's use some muscle in the skull."

The two brothers were irritated but a quick cold in the air made them calm down. You Zhichi smacked the back of her brother's head. She said, "Brat, use decent language or I will tell auntie Bei about you acting like a hooligan."

You Xi Wang immediately became honest and replied, "Yes, big sis." then he looked at the rest of the team and said, "Orion, Aries. You two will interact with the other teams. You can skip the Croma city team. Jack, you will observe from the shadows. Senior Misty, you are the honey trap. Markus, you are, well, free to engage with anyone. Okay?"

Jack spoke, "Do we have to use such tactics? Strength is the only supreme." his cold voice was filled with inconvenience toward this plan.

You Xi Wang shook his head and spoke, "Brother, this will only lower our risks, deception and observation is as important in confronting an enemy as strength and bravery. If you can kill someone using only two strokes and half your power then why must you use ten at full power? The contest has not even begun yet. We should preserve as much energy as we can. Otherwise, this will be very exhausting and in the long run, we will lose. Also, our brain is also our strength. Though remember, you are not to act too obvious or too rude. I will throw you off the ship without a parachute. Get it. All this should be done while staying low-key."

The team all nodded calmly. On the surface they showed no change but on the inside they were very bewildered by what You Xi Wang said to them. They were nosy and flamboyant type of people (Misty Shay, Orion Paul, Aries Paul and Markus Langdon). They never thought of using their mannerism in such a way. After some though they found out that what You Xi Wang said was really plausible. 

The teaching faculty on the side may act like they do not care about the team discussing things but instead their ears were perked up, and they were all paying attention to the team. William Trevor was impressed by the effect of You Xi Wang's speech. His words made the notorious bunch gain a direction while freed the stubborn one from his cage of discipline and meaningless hardship. 

You Xi Wang nodded and raised his head to the sky. He spoke, "Get ready, the ship is here." with that said, he controlled the spiritual energy circulating inside him and his realm fell to peak of core formation realm. You Zhichi also did the same and her realm also became the peak of core formation realm. The others were surprised but they did not say anything. Who here was not a cultivator? They all knew that You Xi Wang and You Zhichi were running a concealment breathing method. 

This method was to save them another hole card. They were given his method by Animo Albus. You Xi Wang understood her intent and accepted the method when his sister passed it to him. Although he was not afraid of anyone and did not want to conceal his realm, You Zhichi asked him whether he wants her to worry about him all the time. Helplessly the boy could only give in to this. 

The airship docked to the pier and the entry hatch opened. A man wearing the flight crew Uniform walked out. He shook hands with Adonis and spoke very intimately, "Donnie, your folks ready?"

Adonis smiled and glanced at the team. Then he said, "Can't be more readier." 

The man laughed and spoke, "Let's go then." he dragged Adonis back to the airship while laughing and chatting. You Xi Wang spoke to the team as they walked, "You guys pretend that we are not good with each other and also, only use MetroFrame to talk."

They all nodded and they stepped inside the airship. Inside, You Xi Wang and his sister sat down together while the others put on a reluctant expression as they sat down. You Xi Wang and Jack monitored everything from the shadows and they immediately texted in the etroframe group, "The monkey took the bait."

Their plan was now in motion. The team immediately got in action after the ship took off. The members started mingling with other seven cities. They did not bother with the Croma City. 2 out of seven members were You Xi Wang's lackeys. They will reveal everything to him as soon as he wants. 

You Zhichi suddenly frowned and You Xi Wang asked, "What is it?" he was very worried. Before YOu Zhichi could reply a chuckle echoed through out the airship. A boy wearing brown shirt and blue jeans spoke, "This beauty cannot even handle a gaze. Are you the mascot of the Silica City Team?"

The Silica City team member who were mingling immediately fell silent. Adonis who was talking to the other instructors became silent. The rest of the instructors noticed the abrupt change in his expressions and asked, "Donnie, what is it? Are you okay?"

Adonis spoke hurriedly, "Judy, you ask that kid to apologize to You Zhichi right now. Or I won't be responsible for what happens next." his tone was pleading. Judy was the instructor of the Spark city team. The boy who has just spoken was a replacement in their team. He was the sone of a council official. Judy knew that Adonis will never react like this if things were not serious. She spoke, "Tyrant, apologize to this student this moment."

Tyrant only laughed preposterously, he spoke with disdain, "Instructor, why are you saying this? Isn;t it just a casual question? This girl looks too weak."

Judy was about to retort when a calm voice rang out, "Tell me, do you bleed?"

Tyrant glanced at the source of the voice, he saw You Xi Wang speaking. He spoke, "You are worthy to talk to me? White face, you better be quite."

You Xi Wang stood up and next moment his figure flashed and he was already in front of Tyrant. Tyrant was no more sitting on the seat but he was hanging in the air with his neck gripped by You Xi Wang. Tyrant was scared pale and so were the others. You Xi Wang spoke, "Five Mistakes, Looked at my sister with a bad gaze. Talked to her in a dirty language. Disrespected you instructor, Called my team weak. Finally insulted my mother. Five sins Five punishments."

Before Tyrant could even react, You Xi Wang punched him five times in quick succession. Then he dropped the half fainted Tyrant done on his seat. He spoke to Adonis, "I take full responsibility." and then he sat down beside his sister. The rest of the people were feeling surprised and awed when they heard a vomiting sound. Tyrant was coughing up blood.

You Xi Wang broke his five ribs. This guys was the king of monkeys.
