"Prepare?"
"Of course, I'm well-prepared—"
Hearing this, Zhuge Lan's lips curled into a smug smile.
Clearly, he was exceptionally confident in his preparations.
"For this Dance King Competition, I've invited several special guests…"
"The venue even meets the standard of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
"All the lights and stage are handled by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. We don't seek the best, but the most expensive."
"It will definitely give the people of the entire Douluo Continent a little bit of luxurious shock!"
"That's good… Wait, hold on."
Dugu Bo was about to nod in agreement—since Zhuge Lan had invited quite a few so-called guests to oversee things.
It seemed like there shouldn't be any problems.
After all, there were several Title Douluos of his level keeping watch.
As long as it wasn't the Spirit Hall making an all-out move, or being jointly targeted by the two great empires, it seemed impossible for anything to go wrong.
However, as he listened, Dugu Bo suddenly sensed that something was off.
He looked at the young man in front of him with suspicion—
"Are you talking about the Dance King Competition? Or are you talking about those rats hiding in the gutters?"
"Of course, I'm talking about the Dance King Competition!"
Zhuge Lan looked at Dugu Bo strangely, saying somewhat inexplicably—
"You said yourself that those guys are just rats in the gutters."
"Why would I bother entertaining them for no reason?"
"But then again…"
"If they can bring me enough amusement, I wouldn't mind giving them a chance to show what they call a surprise."
—What do you call a surprise?
What the hell do you call a surprise!
Dugu Bo really didn't know if those rats with their petty schemes knew what a surprise was.
But he knew what a surprise was now.
Good heavens…
So, all this time he'd been accompanying Zhuge Lan, running around, contacting various forces, and procuring all sorts of orders,
was purely for the Dance King Competition?
"So, you haven't prepared anything these past few days?"
Dugu Bo was so angry that his eyes were seeing stars.
[Emotion Points +23333]
He had always thought of himself as arrogant and conceited.
But now he understood where true arrogance lay.
Someone is planning to ambush you—and is about to come knocking on your door to kill you…
Can't you give even a little reaction?
Don't you know that doing this deprives people of a sense of accomplishment!
This kid…
Who did he think he was?
A Title Douluo?
Or a god residing above the sky?
Dugu Bo was about to open his mouth to complain, but his words instantly caught in his throat.
—He instantly remembered the powerful, unimaginable family force behind Zhuge Lan.
[Emotions +66666]
For a moment, he closed his mouth.
Alright.
This kid really had the confidence to say such things!
Even if the preparations weren't enough, he had an incredibly powerful Title Douluo guardian behind him.
—Dugu Bo had witnessed the other party's strength.
Much stronger than himself!
Plus, with himself sitting guard as a cooperator, and even the various experts of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Such a combination seemed more than enough…
Not to completely wipe out all enemies who came to attack.
At least it could keep this kid safe!
Afterward, he could just ask the family for support—guaranteeing that those guys wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Fine, you're amazing, I won't say anything more."
"It's all thanks to me worrying in vain for so long."
"You should have reminded me!"
Dugu Bo couldn't help but complain.
After following Zhuge Lan around these days, he had a rough understanding of which forces those people in the dark came from.
Although the opponents weren't strong, one or two would be fine, but when the numbers increased,
—even Dugu Bo, as a lone Douluo, would find it tricky.
Therefore, he had been worried for a long time.
Thinking about it, it was indeed nonsense…
"Hehe—"
"Old Onion, Old Onion, you're slandering a good person. I've said many times that these days have all been spent preparing for the Dance King Competition."
Zhuge Lan shrugged, pretending to be innocent, saying—
"Who knew you'd think so much?"
"However…"
Zhuge Lan's tone changed, and he squinted his eyes, looking into the distance—
"I do hope they put in some effort."
"Create a little more amusement."
"Maybe it can add a bit of excitement to this Dance King Competition!"
"You really are something—"
At this moment, Dugu Bo began to pity those guys.
These guys thought they understood Zhuge Lan's background.
And recklessly sent themselves to the door.
Thinking they were coming to cut the cake—but they were coming to be the cake.
As for how much they would have to pay.
That would depend on Zhuge Lan's mood in the end.
"Hopefully, you can indeed provide some amusement, make this kid happy."
"Otherwise, once he's disappointed…"
"I'm afraid there will really be a massacre!"
Dugu Bo looked at Zhuge Lan's expression—still smiling faintly.
As if he didn't take anything to heart.
Always with this indifferent, gentle appearance.
But Dugu Bo felt a chill.
As a Title Douluo, yet feeling fear because of a Soul Ancestor.
It sounded like nonsense.
But the nonsensical thing was actually happening in reality.
Now Dugu Bo was extremely grateful—
Grateful that his family didn't have such shortsighted existences, and also grateful that he had joined the team early.
And stood on Zhuge Lan's side.
Otherwise.
The amusement to be experienced afterward wouldn't just be simple laughter.
People would really die!
… …
"Fengzhi, why did you call us over so urgently?"
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo hurried into the room, looking at Ning Fengzhi with some doubts—
"The Dance King Competition is about to begin."
"I think those guys won't be able to hide for much longer, we still need to keep a close eye on them."
"Zhuge Lan has been preparing for this competition for a long time, if these guys disturb his interest, tsk, I estimate this kid will definitely be unhappy."
"If you ask me, we should just kill them all."
Sword Douluo said with murderous intent—
Single-mindedly pursuing the sword, determined to achieve extreme slaughter, he had always been extremely disgusted with those who dared not reveal their true identities.
Regardless of whether the opponent was strong or weak.
Daring not to even expose their true faces.
Then they were purely trash!
"This group of dogskin plasters has been sticking around for a long time, insisting on keeping them until today, are we not going to kill them yet?"
"Alright, if Dean Zhuge wants to do this, he must have his reasons for doing so."
"There's no need to do too much!"
Bone Douluo quickly calmed Sword Douluo's emotions.
—He knew his old friend's temper.
In a moment of impulsiveness.
It was entirely possible that he would rush out of the academy and directly chop those guys up!
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, please look at this first."
Ning Fengzhi didn't say much, but just handed over a letter.
The two Title Douluos also stopped arguing and took it over to browse.
But with just one glance.
They both frowned.
This is—
A scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
