The Scum Is A

"Thank you for the meal!" Sun Ri said and can't help but give a small burp as she touched her flat abdomen, feeling very full. She shyly smiled at them. "And thank you for the help earlier." She added and turned to Cui Xiao.

"Y – you're welcome!" Cui Xiao answered. "It's un-unfair, then ganging up on a single person!" she said. Her face is serious and her voice sounds righteous.

Cui Xiang and Wen Wen smiled. Just when everyone was about to agree with her, including the audience watching, they heard her continue.

"At least, they should wait first, give you time to call for people until your numbers are equal!" Cui Xiao spoke.

Cui Xiao. "…" … sister…

Wen Wen. "…" ... there's someone more airheaded than my master?

(Lei Ling who have been shot: … I'm kicking you out as my disciple!)

Sun Ri. "^_^" I knew it… she's really cute. She thought and silently chuckled.

You Rou. "…" I can't continue watching this! She thought and covered her flushed face with her both hands.

Li Tian, Feng Mo, Lei Ling and Lei Qing. "…" well…

Fan Wen. "…" I knew it. Everyone's not right in their head!

The audience, as well as the sect leader and elders. "…" … so, to which extent is the Xinfaxian Sect's shamelessness? They thought. What's the purpose of outnumbering your opponent when you just would wait for them to call for people?!

As expected… something's wrong with the Xinfaxian Sect's people's brains!

Cheng Sheng, who isn't present on the scene, sneezed. "Achoo!" he rubbed his itchy nose as he looked outside the window. "Who is talking about me?" he muttered to himself before he shrugged, ignoring it, and resumed working with the Spirit Tracing Bell.

But, just as he was about to start again, he turned and looked at Fei Yin inside the Shapeshifting Blanket's space. He stared at him for a long while in a daze, before he returned to himself and then returned to his work.

…

Meanwhile, in one of the other arenas, the empty city.

"Woah! I didn't know that you can cook, Wu-xiong!" Tang Li, the fifth son of Tang Zhe's cousin, exclaimed as they all watched Wu Lian cook in the kitchen. The Huakai Sect disciples and Huli Sect disciples watched him in awe.

"Where did you learn cooking?" Li Yan, the eldest disciple of the Huli Sect, curiously asked.

There is a strong contrast with Wu Lian's image as he cooked with a serious face, as if he is thinking on which method should he kill a demon than cooking the ingredients instead.

"My fath… sect leader Wu." Wu Lian answered.

"What?!" the Huakai Sect and Huli Sect disciples were shocked while the Youxiwang Sect disciples laughed.

The audience, who are watching, also were shocked and the sect leaders all turned to look at Wu Yuan. But, they immediately retracted their gazes when they saw the youngest sect leader's indifferent expression. Meanwhile, Sun Yi's lips formed a soft smile.

Chen Han saw Sun Yi's smile and he felt very happy for both his fellow disciples.

…

Meanwhile, in the canyon arena…

"AAAAH!" the participants screamed one after another as the female disciples of the Tuanhui Sect attacked them continuously, giving them no time to breathe.

Their attacks are very ruthless and the other participants who saw it ran away in fear, while the others who were nearer and are the next ones to be attacked surrendered on the spot.

"How fierce!" the audience who are watching the battle exclaimed.

"It hasn't been a day yet they already eliminated more than one hundred participants just by themselves!" they said.

In one of the sect leaders' seats, the only woman among the sect leaders is sitting gracefully as she watched the competition with a smile on her flaming red lips. Unlike the delicate You Rou, independent Lei Qing, the only female sect leader Hui Qiu, of the Tuanhui Sect, has pride in her twinkling eyes as she watched her best three female disciples defeat their opponents one by one.

"Sect leader Hui's disciples are very domineering like her." One of the sect leaders spoke as they sighed in admiration at the three young female disciples chase their opponents.

They aren't delicate. On the contrary, they are strong-willed like Hui Qiu. They didn't bother cooking food and just ate magic pills to replenish their strength while they continued to hunt the other participants like wolves hunting a rabbit.

This will be a very long night for the participants in the canyon arena.

…

"Fortunately, the disciples of each sect were all assigned in one arena and weren't split up instead." Jing De spoke.

"Should we form an alliance?" Qian Jue suggested.

"Good idea!" Zhu Xi hit his palm with his fist. "How many are your people in your sect? We have five." He spoke. It is Fei Yinzi, Su Yi, Su Mi, Wen Yan and him.

"We have six, including Jing De and I." Jing Xu answered.

"We also have six, including xiao Meng and I." Qian Jue answered as he turned to their fellow disciples who are sleeping on the other trees.

"In total, we have seventeen people with us." Su Yi spoke. "Each arena only needs twenty people to pass, and our number is lesser than twenty so alliance is possible. None of us haven't eliminated yet." He said.

They all nodded in agreement.

"Should we take the initiative to attack tonight?" Su Mi asked.

"Each arena should have more than a thousand participants." Qian Jue spoke. "Each day, there should be at most two hundred participants that are eliminated until we reach the seventh day, until there are twenty of us left." He said. "But, it doesn't have to be two hundred for each day. The number of eliminated participants depends the most on the initiative of the others to attack. If there are aggressive participants, then maybe, in one day, the number of the eliminated participants could reach to three hundred. It doesn't need to reach the seventh day for our arena to end." He told them.

"That's right." They all agreed.

"Then, we take the initiative to attack?" Wen Yan asked.

"It's not necessary." Fei Yinzi spoke.

They looked at him.

"'Haste makes waste'. That's what my shizun said." Fei Yinzi spoke. "The more we are anxious, the more that we will miss important clues." He told them.

"Oh… then Er Zi means…?" they asked.

"We can act tonight. But, not to attack." Fei Yinzi looked at them. "We can also observe first." He told them.

"'observe'?" they were surprised.

Fei Yinzi nodded. "Battle isn't decided just by strength alone." He spoke. "It also relies on tactics. Even if you are the strongest warrior, you can still be defeated if your opponent outwits you." He explained. "This is what my shizun said." He added.

"Oh! As expected of elder Cheng Sheng!" they exclaimed in awe.

Fei Yinzi's smile is filled with pride. "So, we can observe the remaining participants and see who are strong enough that can threaten us." He continued. Suddenly, he made a pause. "Of course, they can be not our opponents. We can also make them our ally, which will increase our strength!" he explained.

"You're right!" they exclaimed. "This plan is good! Really good!" they said.

…

The audience also can't help but marvel Fei Yinzi's idea. "As expected of Cheng Sheng's disciple! He is very smart!" they exclaimed.

As if proving Fei Yinzi's thought, something suddenly happened in the canyon arena. It was one of the three female disciples of the Tuanhui Sect.

"Second shimei!" the eldest disciple, Hui Na, cried and immediately grabbed Hui Qu's hand who almost fell off the canyon and into the river below after her opponent pulled her down with her.

Meanwhile, the third disciple, Hui Lu, sprayed powder towards the participant that is grabbing Hui Qu's arm.

"Arh!" the participant cried. Even if he immediately closed his eyes, but some of the powder still hit his eyes. Yet, even if he was temporarily blinded, his hold on Hui Qu's arm didn't loosen. Instead, he strengthened his hold on her, leaving a bruise!

"AH!" Hui Qu cried and kicked her opponent, yet it's as if her opponent's hand is like an iron claw!

"She kicked an iron plate." The audience spoke. These three women are smart to attack the lone participants. But, they didn't expect this time for their opponent to be strong!

"These three female's opponent is really strong, huh?" some of them exclaimed when they saw that the three female's opponent opened his eyes that are bloodshot. Then, with his other hand, he took out a pouch!

"What's that?!" Hui Na, who is still pulling Hui Qu up, suddenly tensed when she saw their opponent's move. "Third shimei! Watch out!" she cried to Hui Lu.

But, it was too late. Their opponent threw the pouch to Hui Lu's face! "AAAH!" they heard Hui Lu cried as smoke came out of the pouch as soon as it hit her face.
