"What's the difference?" Su Ran curled her lips and said, "They are just five experts. I can find fifteen, twenty-five, thirty-five experts to protect me!"
"Previously, I wasn't willing to let go of my posture and beg for help, but now, as long as I speak, there will be a large number of experts willing to protect me."
Xiang Nan pointed at his right arm and said, "What did you see?"
Su Ran asked curiously, "Injury."
Xiang Nan nodded and said seriously, "In this world, there are only a handful of martial artists with similar cultivation bases who can injure me."
"The person who ambushed you just now can let me hang up the lottery. Do you know what this means? It means that every single one of them can turn the entire Amethyst City upside down!"
"Bullshit." Su Ran giggled, "Aren't you just praising yourself in disguise? I know you're powerful, okay?"
Xiang Nan knew that there was no point in talking nonsense with her, so he said seriously, "I want you to say something sincere. Are you really going to stay here, regardless of life or death?"
Su Ran also became serious and nodded, "You must stay, even if you die!"
"Alright, I'm relieved to hear your words." Xiang Nan nodded, "You chose the path yourself. You have to bear all the consequences yourself."
"Since you are so determined and you hired me, I will do my best to protect your life. From now on, I will be responsible for your life."
"Whoever wants to hurt you, you have to ask my saber first."
Xiang Nan took a big sip of the wine jug and suddenly felt his chest was filled with pride. "Since you want to stay, then you should live a dignified life and show them a little bit of life!"
"What do you usually do? What do you still do now? There's no need to make any changes!"
Su Ran also drank a large mouthful of wine like Xiang Nan and coughed repeatedly. He also waved his hand like Xiang Nan and said, "Do it!"
Xiang Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although this woman was as stubborn as him, she still had backbone.
Xiang Nan knocked on the table and thought, "Since your father let you win the championship, then take it!"
"The most important thing is to win the competition. On the one hand, you can fulfill your father's last wish. On the other hand, you may be able to force out the true intentions of the First Grade Hall."
Su Ran said, "The entire competition needs to last for twelve days, ten battles a day. The team that remains after twelve days is the champion."
"That's why." Xiang Nan suddenly understood.
There was a clear difference between a battle puppet's competition and a martial artist's competition.
When a martial artist fought, even if he was injured, he could recover and continue to participate in the following battles.
However, if a battle puppet was seriously damaged, it would normally require a long time to repair. Depending on the degree of damage, the repair time would vary from three to five days to one or two months.
This meant that puppet battles could not be repeated. If a puppet was eliminated, it would be eliminated forever.
In ten battles a day, ten puppets were completely disqualified.
Su Ran introduced, "The first ten days were all single puppet competitions, and the last two days were team competitions."
"Xiang Bei, my team members should have already returned. Help me take care of them. Don't let them be killed by the assassins."
"As for me, I'll send a message to the City Lord right now. I'll wait here for the City Lord's support. Don't worry, the City Lord will send a large number of experts to protect me."
Xiang Nan went to the underground training ground, and the ten players had already started training again.
They were gesturing in the training ground, practicing their fists and feet.
On the other hand, ten combat puppets were standing behind him. One of them had been split into two on the first day of the friendly match and was completely crippled.
Three others participated in today's battle. One of them failed and was destroyed. The other two won, but they were also injured to varying degrees.
Xiang Nan knocked on the two damaged puppets. Hearing the sound, he realized that the damage was not too serious.
He cast his Lightning Eyes again and swept them over the puppets. However, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Too low-level."
"Heh, what a big tone?"
Suddenly, an old man wearing a long robe strode into the training ground and heard Xiang Nan muttering to himself.
"Mr. Guanhai." When the ten contestants saw the old man, they immediately lined up respectfully.
The old man waved his hand and went straight to Xiang Nan, saying, "Little junior, boast! Are you saying that the puppet I personally refined is very low-level?"
"Did you refine these puppets?" Xiang Nan sized up this "Mr. Guan Hai" and discovered that this person was a Xuan Dao cultivator with a decent cultivation realm.
Mr. Guan Hai was at the fifth level of the Heaven Scryer Stage. Of course, he was a cultivator of the Profound Dao. The moisture in his martial dao was too great. He was basically half a cripple of the martial dao.
However, this person's soul was also at the fifth level of the Heaven Scryer Stage, so this was amazing.
Mr. Guan Hai proudly put his hands behind his back, "Naturally, this old man is the Mysterious Dao expert that Miss Su Ran invited after five visits."
"These ten combat puppets were personally refined by this old man."
Xiang Nan nodded, "The puppet is not bad, but the formation on it is not very exquisite."
"Nonsense!" The old man was instantly enraged and shouted, "Go out and ask around. Who doesn't know the name of my Guanhai? The person who dares to point fingers at me in this steel continent has not been born yet."
At this time, Su Ran brought a large number of experts down as well. First, there were twenty people clearing the path ahead. After investigating the safety of the training room, they let Su Ran in.
Behind Su Ran were twenty guards.
These forty guards were all at the third level of Heaven Scryer! Their realms were ridiculously high.
Xiang Nan nodded slightly. The First Grade Hall experts he met today were also at this stage. It seemed that Su Ran's request for help was very important.
Normally, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to invite fifty third stage Heaven Scryer experts at a time.
That's right, there are fifty of them, because there are still ten people who disguise themselves as ordinary people and have been keeping watch in secret.
Those ten people didn't show up so easily, so they could be considered scouts.
"What's the matter?" Su Ran quickly walked over and smiled, "Mr. Guanhai, what made you so angry?"
Guan Hai snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "I say, Little girl Su Ran, since you have such a powerful master of the Profound Dao under you, why should you invite my old man out of the mountain?"
"This?" Suddenly, Su Ran panicked, "Mr. Guan Hai, why did you say that?"
The Old Man Guanhai stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiang Nan's nose. "This yellow-mouthed child actually dares to question my masterpiece! Girl Su Ran, you better give me a reasonable explanation today, otherwise I won't do it!"
Su Ran stamped her feet angrily and glared at Xiang Nan, "Xiang Bei, if you don't follow you later, you'll cause trouble for me! Apologize to Mr. Guan Hai quickly!"
Xiang Nan chuckled, "Originally, I only said it casually. I didn't expect that this old man would actually start to play petty."
"Then I have to be more serious with you. Mr. Guanhai, I said that the formation you set up on the puppet is not exquisite, don't you agree?"
"If you can transform the puppet I personally taught you into a better puppet, I will submit to you!"
