Chapter 70: The Monk’s Apprentice Never Fears Death

After thirteen attacks, Bai Qige finally seized the opportunity and smashed the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel’s head with a Meteor Hammer.

The four Grimoires of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel each have their strengths: Underworld Sun is fierce, Dark Moon is tricky, Evil Star is swift, and Abyss is mysterious. But they also have flaws: Underworld Sun is clumsy, Dark Moon is weak in attack, Evil Star is weak in defense, and Abyss combines all three flaws. If someone has good battle experience and knows how to counter them, it is not difficult to deal with a Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel that only practices one Grimoire and is not very skilled.

The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel Tribe that has come to Earth has not yet grown strong enough to train experts who can cultivate multiple Grimoires. If there is a small conflict, Bai Qige does not worry about it at all.

However, the trouble is that this is not a small conflict; it is the time when the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel starts a large-scale invasion war. Through a quick glance out the window at the end of the classroom hallway, Bai Qige has already seen many Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel pouring in from outside the school, including some especially tall ones. These Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel are the elite units that practice the power of the Underworld Sun Grimoire.

"It seems that charging ahead alone and sweeping away the enemy is really not something I can achieve at my current level! I guess I’ll have to find a clever way!"

Bai Qige waved his hand, summoning the members of the Xiangbei Basketball Team. They gathered around, waiting for Bai Qige’s command. He looked serious, watching the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel rushing up the stairs from the classroom. Leading them were those elite units, with fierce eyes and fierce looks, ready to attack. Bai Qige felt no fear and suddenly shouted:

"Stop right there! If you keep coming, I will blow up these grenades on these people and take everyone on this floor down with me!"

Long Aotian and Mugang Xian and the others turned to Bai Qige, their eyes filled with disbelief!

But his words had a surprisingly good effect. The front row of Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel immediately stopped, their fierce eyes scanning Bai Qige. One particularly large Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, nearly seven meters long, could not stand up straight in the hallway and had to run on all fours, shouted loudly:

"You actually use hostages to threaten us? How despicable! Let them go; they are just kids! How can you take children as hostages? Where is your conscience?"

"Kekek, those who achieve great things do not fuss over small details. When dealing with you outsiders, a true master like me doesn’t need to worry about morals, right, disciples?"

Using the safety of our own people to threaten the enemy, how can you call others outsiders? The members of the Xiangbei Basketball Club looked at each other with deep disdain. They realized that every time they prepared themselves for Bai Qige’s unreliable ways, he would crush their expectations with a completely new low.

Now, in everyone’s eyes, Bai Qige has flown away from being an Evil Monk towards a demon.

"If you are willing to let those children go, we will let you leave here! Or if you have other requests, say them, and we will think carefully."

Compared to Bai Qige’s actions, these Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels seemed much more righteous. They truly cared about the hostages’ safety and were willing to compromise and give in, leaving Long Aotian, Mugang Xian, and the others feeling very complex, almost wanting to turn against the Evil Monk and join the side of justice.

A smile appeared at the corner of Bai Qige’s mouth. In the Ten Commandments, the Peaceful Iron Rule made the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel act in a strangely silly way during an all-out war. Whenever possible, especially when they had the upper hand, they would try their best to ensure the safety of every enemy’s life. This is why Bai Qige could threaten the lives of the Xiangbei Basketball Club members, and the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel would actually hesitate.

Only in this situation can the hidden condition of the Rebellious Iron Rule be activated, forcing the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel to nod in agreement, entering a hidden level they would never normally accept.

Bai Qige shouted, "Alright, I bet on the dignity of the Eternal Dark Demon Emperor. I will gamble the Territorial Sovereignty of Canglan Noble Academy against you in a rebellious duel!"

The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel seemed a bit restless; the leading Enhanced Elite whispered, "Are you sure?"

Bai Qige said confidently, "That’s right, I want to challenge for control of the territory. If you don’t agree, I will blow up the grenades on my five disciples! Everyone on this floor will perish together!"

The leader of the Enhanced Elite Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel seemed a bit hesitant. In the next moment, its eyes suddenly changed, glowing with a bright flame. It looked very powerful, but it was actually the essence of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel arriving through the Soul Network, using this creature’s eyes to confirm certain matters.

"If you want to gamble on Territorial Sovereignty, you must pay an equal price: your lives and everything you have! Especially you, Evil Monk!"

The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, which usually had a deep voice, suddenly became light and airy, filled with a rich echo. It sounded very majestic, and if you listened closely, you could sense a hint of annoyance, likely because Bai Qige’s actions had greatly angered the essence of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel.

"Haha, I accept this bet, but I’m not foolish. I fully understand your Ten Commandments and the nature of your Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel clan. I have already offended your core taboos and have insulted the Eternal Dark Demon Emperor many times, making me a target on your clan’s blacklist. If I personally gamble on Territorial Sovereignty with you, I expect you would send out hundreds of elite Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels to ensure I cannot win that battle. Therefore, I will send these five people instead!"

Bai Qige pointed at Long Aotian and the others. The leader of the Enhanced Elite Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel spoke to everyone, "We are betting on the Territorial Sovereignty of Canglan Noble Academy! Are you ready? It’s either win or die! Children, your lives are very precious, and your futures are bright. You don’t need to listen to this Evil Monk’s temptations and sacrifice yourselves."

The five that Bai Qige could send were none other than the Canglan Five Beasts from the Xiangbei Basketball Club. Long Aotian, Mugang Xian, and the others were previously threats to the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel as hostage bombs, and now they were turned into pawns for a life-or-death gamble, looking quite speechless.

Long Aotian was about to speak, just opening his mouth to say, "We don’t want to…" But before he finished, he noticed that Bai Qige’s hand was already on him, more accurately, holding a grenade hanging from his body.

"Disciple, you can eat anything, but be careful of your words. Be brave like a man and fight! Otherwise, when you look up at the sky—oh right, I forgot, you can only see the ceiling here. Anyway, the point is, if you speak nonsense, the stars of your doom are already shining above; oh no, it’s actually the ancestors of Lanruo Temple watching you from the heavens. So be careful with your words and actions! Don’t bring shame to your ancestors!"

Bai Qige’s expression was kind, and his tone was gentle. He gave a simple and clear encouragement. Long Aotian thought for a moment and realized that being a bit obedient might help him live a little longer. With a heavy and sad face, he nodded seriously and said, "We are willing!"

Bai Qige felt very pleased and turned to the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel. "Did you see that? My disciples are scared of everything. They are afraid of the sky, afraid of the ground, even afraid of cockroaches, but they are not afraid of death. Do you see those grenades all over them? I tell you, my five disciples are ready to explode those grenades if we lose and take you down with us!"

The Enhanced Elite Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel looked at Long Aotian and his friends again, confirming that they were indeed tied up with grenades and not toys. "Children, I see that you have no fear of life and death out of necessity. To avoid making things difficult for you, we accept this bet!"

The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel’s understanding nature brought a sense of righteousness that made Long Aotian and his friends think about a bold idea: to take off their grenades and stuff them into Bai Qige’s mouth, the evil monk, and fight him to defend justice in the world. Of course, thinking it was one thing, but actually doing it was another.

Seeing the resistance in the eyes of the Xiangbei Basketball Club members, Bai Qige stroked his long beard and thought that if he didn’t speak some truths, he wouldn’t be able to get these guys to fight bravely just by using tricks and threats.

"Alright, since the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel has accepted the bet, I will explain the real battle plan to you. Territorial Sovereignty is the highest level of rebellious duel that the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel tribe will accept. If you win, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel will recognize your leadership here and leave. This means that if you win the upcoming duel, Canglan Academy will be completely safe. The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel will not attack this place again, and even more, you can negotiate with the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel as the lord of this place to protect your close relatives and let them come here for refuge! Do you understand? I have worked hard to create this situation, so please do not let my efforts go to waste!"
