Chapter 65: Team Training

  The next morning.

  Lin Wu woke up from his cultivation and after some simple preparations, he followed the team of the Hawthorn family to the largest arena in Violet City.

  Today is the day when the profit-sharing competition begins, and young elites from all over the Violet Kingdom gather in Violet City.

  "Lei Meng, are you also participating in this profit-sharing match?" Lin Wu found Lei Meng's figure in the team.

  "Hmm, Miss Alice said I could join too, if Lin opposes it, then I'll withdraw," said Lei Meng.

  Waving his hand, Lin Wu smiled and said: "No need, this competition is also a good experience. Oh, right, Lei Meng, your attribute is Thunder Attribute, right?" Suddenly, Lin Wu thought of something and asked.

  "Yes." Lei Meng nodded, somewhat puzzled.

  "That Violet Thunder Leopard near Alice's house, you know? If you have time, get close to the Violet Thunder Leopard more often. If you can make it your contract beast, that would be even better." said Lin Wu Dao.

  Lei Meng heard Lin Wu's words, hesitated for a moment, and then stuttered: "Lin, th-th-this..."

  "Alright, you've gotten stronger, so now you can do more for me, right? Moreover, the Purple Thunder Leopard is wild and hard to train, you'd better work hard." Lin Wu patted Lei Ming's shoulder and said.

  "Yes." Lei Meng nodded firmly.

  Then, the group arrived at the largest arena in Violet Castle. Although the huge arena was also packed with people, the Rose family was one of the three major families in the Kingdom of Violet, and they had a special place where they didn't have to worry about finding a spot in the crowded crowd.

  When the team of Ling Wu and the Hawthorn family arrived at their designated position, the Tulip family and the Wisteria imperial family had already arrived. At this time, on the highest viewing platform in the arena, Wisteria III, Tulip, and the two Grand Dukes of Hawthorn also appeared.

  The appearance of the three major bosses also heralds the start of the profit-sharing competition.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, the 56th Benefit Distribution Tournament has arrived today. In this century, countless people have gained a bright future through this tournament, and many families in the kingdom have also developed thanks to it..." Prince Lavender III spoke enthusiastically about the great benefits brought by the Benefit Distribution Tournament.

  The crowd below was stirred to a frenzy by these words. They had grown up listening to such stories, and as long as they could get into the top three, they would be able to obtain a share of the Rose Merchant Guild's profits - 30% for first place, 20% for second place, and 10% for third place. Even if they couldn't make it into the top three, as long as they performed well, they would still be able to get recruited by various large families, with boundless prospects ahead of them.

  "Well, then I declare that the 56th Profit Distribution Competition officially begins." The atmosphere had finally reached its climax, and Zi Jing San also announced the start of the competition in a timely manner.

  The content of the competition has not changed much over the past century, and it is divided into two parts: the first is the team training competition, and the second is the individual arena competition. Naturally, there are some changes in each session, but overall it remains unchanged.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, the team training competition this time has a mission to find various flowers in the Adventurer's Forest. The time limit is 3 days, and the score will be determined by the rarity and quantity of the flowers each of you collects. Teams are formed with two members each. Now, you have one hour to prepare." With that, Zijing III announced the start of the competition, and the chief judge revealed the goal of this match.

  Upon hearing this, the crowd below couldn't help but whisper to each other. The competition held in the Adventurer's Forest, from the start of the benefit-sharing match until now, had only occurred once before. However, because someone unknowingly provoked a level 5 magical beast during that time, more than half of the participants who entered the forest were killed. As a result, the benefit-sharing match was never held in the Adventurer's Forest again.

  Moreover, this group stage is used to screen the contestants, after all, there are many participants in each session, so some weak teams need to be screened out through a match, and the subsequent individual arena matches are the main event.

  However, no one in the audience was willing to give up because of the adventurer's forest, as the huge benefits of the benefit-sharing competition had already made those present drool with desire, and it was absolutely impossible to give up.

  "Rumble, let's team up." Since they were going to form a team, Lin Wu naturally thought of Rumble.

  "Good." Lei Meng nodded.

  However, at this time Wu Bo found Lin Wu and said, "Little Wu, team up with Big Sister this time."

  Upon hearing Wu Bo's words, Lin Wu was taken aback and asked, "Is Big Sister also participating in the competition?" Lin Wu couldn't understand why Ailina, a high-level light mage, would participate. Light magic was notoriously weak in terms of offense, although it excelled in healing abilities, which wouldn't be useful in this type of competition.

  "Ah, this is also the rule of the competition, one of the three major families must have a direct bloodline to participate in the competition. The Rose family has two young ladies, and you know Alice too, so only let the elder sister come and participate." Wu Bo said with a pat on Lin Wu's shoulder, "Little Wu, I know that among all the contestants in the entire family, your strength is the strongest. Eldest Miss is a light magic user, she doesn't have much attacking power, so the task of protecting her falls to you."

  "Alright." Lin Wu replied without hesitation.

  Protecting Irina has always been an unshakeable responsibility for Lin Wuyi, so he agreed without hesitation.

  "Alright, Xiao Wu, everything is up to you now. Winning or losing the match isn't important, protecting Big Sister is the priority. Be careful in the Adventurer's Forest, it's full of all sorts of people." Wu Bo said, and then left with a worried look on his face.

  "Thunder rumbles, sorry about that." Lin Wu said awkwardly after Wu Bo left.

  "I know, Lin, you don't have to be like this," said Lei Meng.

  An hour passed quickly, and the crowd also formed teams one after another. After receiving the number plates in the recorded team formation, the crowd began to leave the arena towards the adventurer's forest, and the crowded arena suddenly became empty.

  "Kobayashi, you'd better take good care of your sister. If even a single hair on her head is hurt, I'll make you regret it." Alice dragged Eri to Lin Wu's side, the little girl waving her fist in 'threat'.

  "Yes, I will definitely fight to the death to protect it." Lin Wu said.

  Elena's face flushed slightly as she heard Lin Wu's words, and for some reason, since they had chatted a few times before, she was always affected by his words. Elena could clearly feel that Lin Wu's words came from the heart.

  "Ah, no, don't get hurt either, Xiao Lin!" Alice hastily said in response to Lin Wu's words.

  "Hmm, we will definitely return safely." Lin Wu said, stroking Alice's hair.

  "Wu Bo, this Lin Wu is actually able to make Alice so obedient." The Duke of Rose said to Wu Bo from a distance.

  "Haha, Lord Dagu, Xiao Wu is a personal talent, you should know this, otherwise how would you have promised to marry one of the two ladies to him when he becomes a great swordsman?" said Wu Bo with a smile.

  Camellia nodded and said: "Then Wu Bo, you go investigate Lin Wu's family background. If there is no problem, then the family will cultivate him with all their might."

  "Yes." Wu Bo nodded and replied.

  On the other hand, Lin Wu and Ailina also left Zijing City and headed towards the Adventurer's Forest.

  Yes, it's almost time for another big one.

  P.S: Oh, right! Some book friends asked about updates. I usually update twice a day. If something comes up, it'll be once a day. If I have time, there might even be three updates in one day.
