"Alright, is there anything else? If not, I'm taking off. There are people waiting for me to grab drinks, I've got no time to play with you lot." Tang Rao looked around, these so-called great powers, truly uninteresting.

If it weren't for me being new here, if it weren't because Zeng Yan needed backing, I couldn't be bothered with you.

Putting on airs, as if you're something special, doesn't it embarrass you?

Back in the day when I reached the peak of transmigration, I wasn't as arrogant as you lot even when I was at Half-step Great Perfection.

Still just ate and drank as normal, cursed when I was upset, laughed out loud when I was happy.

Dignity is given by others, not something you put on yourself.

"Since someone is waiting for you, please go ahead." Meng Jiuxuan addressed Tang Rao.

"Bye-bye." Tang Rao didn't bother with more words, waved his hand, and ran off.

"HAHAHA, you trash, I can't wait to see how you die." Meng Guanglin burst into laughter seeing Tang Rao leave.

To him, Tang Rao was as good as dead.

The War King, do you think someone like you can claim it?

And if you can't claim the War King, you're going to destroy your own cultivation and jump from the Nine-headed King Tower, guaranteed death!

Everyone looked at Meng Guanglin, Meng Jiuxuan included.

Seeing the flashing light in Meng Jiuxuan's eyes, Meng Qinhou was genuinely startled.

"Bastard." Meng Qinhou turned and threw a punch, hitting Meng Guanglin in the head.

Meng Guanglin never saw it coming, got a heavy blow to the head, and immediately passed out.

Meng Qinhou was truly afraid Meng Guanglin would blurt out something idiotic again.

Although he was utterly disappointed with his son, they were still father and son after all, and Meng Qinhou wouldn't want Meng Guanglin to be utterly ruined.

"War Leader, please forgive me, my guidance was insufficient," Meng Qinhou bowed deeply to Meng Jiuxuan.

"You don't need to apologize to me," Meng Jiuxuan said indifferently, displeasure in his eyes.

Meng Qinhou was a smart man and immediately got Meng Jiuxuan's hint.

Without further words, he stepped forward and bowed to the people present, "My lords, if Guanglin has offended you in any way just now, I apologize on his behalf. I hope you can forgive him; I will discipline him properly."

Meng Qinhou handled it well, truly showing a remorseful attitude.

It's normal that Meng Guanglin couldn't get along with Tang Rao and took a stance against him.

However, his words calling those allied with the Meng Family dogs indeed angered many.

Seeing Meng Qinhou apologize so formally, no one continued to object.

Such face had to be given.

"Alright, the competition is over for today. Let's disperse, and return tomorrow," Meng Jiuxuan waved, and everyone left one after another.

"Jun Qiao, wait a moment," Meng Jiuxuan called out to Meng Junqiao.

"Grandma, is there something you need?" Meng Junqiao stood respectfully. Although her grandmother was quite kind to her, she always felt she couldn't relax around her.

Maybe, because her grandmother was too powerful...

"What do you think about Tang Rao?" Meng Jiuxuan asked.

"He's very strong, perhaps, it's not impossible for him to win the War King." Meng Junqiao didn't think Tang Rao was completely without hope, after all, the guy had the ability to fight Gai Jianchan to the point of severe injury.

"I'm not asking about his strength, I mean, what do you think of Tang Rao as a person?" Meng Jiuxuan shook her head and chuckled.

Meng Jun Qiao opened her mouth, a bit unsure of how to answer.

"I haven't had much contact with him, but apart from being a bit shameless, there don't seem to be other faults." Meng Jun Qiao finally said.

"You're not getting any younger, you might want to start considering it. I actually think this Tang Rao lad suits you quite well, as he said, don't waste your prime years," Meng Jiuxuan said with a smile.

"I... haven't thought about this..."

"Then see how it goes later," Meng Jiuxuan didn't say any more.

...

"Damn, Tang Rao, have you lost your mind?" In a tavern, Hassen opposite Tang Rao was immensely agitated.

As for Bo Ya and the others, they were rolling their eyes hard.

Tang Rao, you got duped by Meng Guanglin.

War King... do you even know what War King signifies?

"Uh, why the big fuss? Is War King really that difficult?" Tang Rao asked. Isn't it just being the champion in the Nine-Headed Battle? Seems pretty straightforward to me.

"Do you know how to seize the title of War King?" Hassen asked.

"Isn't it being the champion in the Nine-Headed Battle?" Tang Rao was somewhat surprised. Is that not it?

Hassen: "..."

Bo Ya, Oli, Jessica: "..."

"The champion of the Nine-Headed Battle, there's one every term. But War King, ever since the Nine-Headed Battles began, there have only been two." Hassen took a deep breath; he was really floored by Tang Rao.

You've agreed without even knowing what the War King is...

"Oh, I see, it's not that then. So how is it seized?" Tang Rao got a little nervous.

What if it's really difficult? What if I fail? Wouldn't that be awful?

"The first event tomorrow is a five-person battle, 500 participants whittled down to 100. If you make it into this group of 100, you can directly issue a challenge; 99 against one, you. If you win, you are the War King," Hassen explained.

"Just like that?" Tang Rao blinked several times.

"What else do you want!! All 99 of those people are Cultivators in at least the mid-stage of the Enlightening period!"

Tang Rao shrugged. Good thing I was only nervous for a bit; turns out it's quite simple.

99 Cultivators at or above the mid-stage of the Enlightening period might make an ordinary early-stage Fusion practitioner nervous, but for him... it was nothing at all.

Do you know what I'm best at? That's right, wars of attrition.

It's no exaggeration to say, the quantity of Spiritual Energy within his body is more profound than all those 99 Enlightening period Cultivators combined.

"Tang Rao, if you manage to capture the title of War King, I'll give you a great benefit," Bo Ya suddenly said.

"Can you give me a hint?" Tang Rao's eyes lit up.

"Get it first, then you'll know," Bo Ya shot Tang Rao a flirtatious glance.

Just from that one look, Tang Rao felt like his virtue was at stake.

...

The next day, at the same time and place, there were even more people.

The groups for the hundred five-person battles were quickly determined.

Tang Rao: "⊙＿⊙"

Yes, he was in the first group again...

The crowd was equally flabbergasted.

"Holy shit, did this number 5000 pick a fight with the first group?!"

"Hahaha, I think Tang Rao can win."

"Right, right, with a Coke bottle."

...

The audience mainly saw Tang Rao as a joke, what choice did they have? The way Tang Rao won yesterday was just too ludicrous.

Regardless of what others said, Tang Rao resolutely stepped onto the battle platform.

He was ready to unleash his strength; bring it on, you losers, and witness the true power of Tang Laohei.

Hahaha! And when that happens, don't forget to close those gaping mouths of yours!

"Bang, bang!" However, what happened next left Tang Rao dumbfounded.

The other four on the stage seemed to be at each other's throats, diving into battle fiercely and inextricably.

"Uh..." As his desire for battle had nowhere to manifest, Tang Rao had no choice but to bring out his little stool.

"Hahaha, here it comes again!"

"The little stool makes a comeback!"

"Can't even, those four idiots, why didn't they take out Tang Rao first!"

"Sunflower seeds! Sunflower seeds!"

"Coke! Coke!"
