BXBX NOVEL Chapter 283 Sub-Mission Cleared
'Well, what the heck should I do if we are the ones defending.' Shin thought as he wouldn't be able to defeat each and everyone within ten seconds.
That was because, if they get the blue light, then they have to defend. If that were the case, then the opponents would come one by one. By no means can the match end in mere 10 seconds.
He had another thing to worry about too. The clans that he was going to face later, would be stronger than the previous clans. Obviously, stronger clans would move up.
Hence, finishing them in 10 seconds would also be ridiculously hard.
Regardless, Shin, who waited for the current fight, wanted to focus on the situation at hand. He waited for the leader of the scorpions to go and lift the slab right after which, a red beam of light was erected towards the sky.
'Looks like I was worrying for nothing…', Shin said to himself as he smirked.
"Your highness let me go.", Aella asked, demanding that she would be allowed to fight. She wanted some more praise from Shin.
"Nope, not happening. This time I am going.", Shin said.
"But-"
"No buts."
There were two reasons why Shin denied her to fight – one was because he wanted to end the match in 10 seconds.
And the second reason was that Aella wouldn't be earning a single Exp points if she were to battle. She had yet to evolve, so for now, her exp meter had hit its highest value.
Aella started making puppy eyes but Shin didn't care as he just wanted to complete his mission.
Shin entered the arena. The black scorpions started trembling as soon as they saw him come forward.
'Should I surrender?'
'There is no way we can win against them...'
They already saw what Aella did even though she wasn't the clan leader.
'That wolf pup wasn't even the clan leader yet she was so powerful...', the scorpion leader thought.
'Her name isn't even famous. As for the clan leader, Shin, there is hardly any beast in this forest that hasn't heard his name…'
'His power would be at least ten times more than Aella…', the scorpion leader concluded.
'Since the match has been started by me, then even when they surrender, the system should count this as a proper match…'
'Should I ask them to surrender…?'
'Ugh, not like they will listen…'
'They will say the same old dialogue about me being a small white pup…', Shin sighed as he thought about it.
"Begin the match."
Nevertheless, he decides to ask them at least once.
"So, would you want to-"
Even before he finished asking them, a reply was heard from their end.
"We surrender."
"…"
"Huh?", Shin was surprised when he heard the phrase from the mouth of the leader of the black scorpion clan.
"And the winner is, Lou Shin Clan.", Reosan didn't waste even a second to announce that.
*Ding*
[Sub-Mission completed]
[End the match within 10 seconds] [completed]
[Reward: 2x boost of all stats for 24 hrs]
[Press claim to accept the reward]
[Claim]
"..."
Shin looked at the system notification that appeared seconds after they declared their defeat.
'Hmm, claim…?'
'Safe…'
'I thought that the reward will be given directly, but it looks like I can claim whenever I like…'
'Yes, for now, I will leave it as it is, and claim it when I am in danger…'
'Or perhaps, when I battle the Fang Clan…', Shin thinks as he walks down the main area towards his clanmates.
Aella was both happy and confused. She didn't know that all Shin had to make was his appearance.
'His Highness must have anticipated this. That's why he took the action to prevent Miss Aella from wasting her energy…', Rakka and Terran whispered in each other's ears.
'Well, I guess we have successfully entered the quarterfinals.', Shin concluded as all of them started returning to their rooms.
Although the match ended within ten seconds, to be precise, only a second or two after the match started, the audience was not satisfied.
After all, none of them used any skills nor showed any of their powers. It was just verbal communication and that's all.
Some even wanted the jury to take action and make a system so that those who want to give up, can do so even before they enter the main podium for battle. This way, the time of the audience would be conserved and the battle could go much fastly and smoothly.
Regardless, the Celestials took that into consideration. It was also mentioned last time but they hadn't been enacted. Looks like this time, they took it seriously and thought about implementing it the next time!
"The next battle is between Heavenly Monkeys and Great Gigards.", Reosan announced.
When the word 'Grigards' was mentioned, for an instance, Shin recalled his members. Well, he knew It very were that there were many other Grigards living out there, however, hearing their names did make him feel a bit weird.
Anyway, the name of the Clan Heavenly Monkeys sounded a bit too over the top.
He was interested in them as well, and for a good reason too.
When he took a look at their status, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Because, unlike before, where the clans had super unique skills, this time, the level of the participants itself was high.
Heavenly Monkey clan consisted of beast monkeys who were all above level 60.
There was something else that surprised him, even more, when he looked at the profile of the monkeys, especially their leader.
[Name: Don Wukong (Male: 130 yrs)]
'Ha!?'
'Don Wukong…?'
'Isn't it way too similar to Sun Wukong, or is this just a coincidence?', Shin was baffled after seeing the name and recalling the name of the famous Monkey King.
'I see, now the name of the clans, Heavily Monkeys, does seem to make sense…'
Don Wukong was even holding a stick, or to be precise, a heavenly staff that was also way too similar to the staff that Sun Wukong used to hold.
*gulp*
'This is gonna be interesting…'
