The Scum Is A ***

No one slept before dawn so, when dawn arrived, as everyone has expected, they heard Zheng Yi's voice spoke from somewhere that the first elimination period has started. But, he didn't say until when will it last. However, everyone has already earned more than five hundred points. Thus, they aren't afraid to be eliminated.

"How naïve." Cheng Sheng grinned when they saw the participants hopping around to resume farming points. But, their sharpness before the first point threshold was announced was now lost since the participants have become complacent.

They think that the storm has already passed? They should be careful instead after it passed since there are still some rainfalls left.

…

The day has just started and everyone, although they have earned more than five hundred points already, think that more is better than less. Thus, they continued to farm for points, although things aren't as intense as ever… or so they thought.

"WAH!" Ling Yun screamed when he turned and two figures suddenly appeared before him. "Xiao… ehem… elder Ling. Elder Bing!" he exclaimed.

Xiao Ling's eyes narrowed as he looked at Ling Yun. Ling Yun felt all the hairs on his body rose and he immediately raised his sword in front of him, doing a guarded posture.

Xiao Ling sneered seeing Ling Yun's guarded pose. "Tch. Boring." He muttered and decided to leave.

Ling Yun whose head is filled with question marks after he sensed the hostility disappeared. "???"

"Be on your guard. Or else…" xiao Bao spoke and left without finishing his words.

Ling Yun. "…?" what the hell? Can't you finish what you just started? Don't leave things hanging! He thought and frowned. He sensed that something big is about to happen. He held his chest. "Damn. I have to warn the others!" he said and flew to the direction of the base.

He felt that this got something to do with xiao Bao and xiao Ling. Definitely, things would doubly not be good!

…

"This Ling Yun is smart!" the audience exclaimed.

"Fortunately, it was him who xiao Bao and xiao Ling targeted first. If it would be Jing De or Tang Li… hahahaha." They laughed.

"Wasn't this because xiao Ling wanted to target Ling Yun for waking him up before since Ling Yun was in danger?" someone said when they recalled xiao Ling's grudge.

"Oh, that's right! Hahahahaha!" they laughed.

Ling Xi who heard it helplessly smiled while Qian Tian and the others comforted him. It definitely isn't good to be targeted, especially if you are in a competition. Fortunately, Ling Yun's ability to sense danger is good. Or else, he definitely would've lost just now in momentum against xiao Ling, and xiao Ling would have attacked him.

"But, this… do you have an idea what is going to happen?" someone asked as they watched xiao Ling and xiao Bao spy on the participants.

"Dunno… but this seems exciting… since I feel something exciting is about to happen!" somebody said.

Hearing what the audience said, everyone turned to look at Cheng Sheng. Cheng Sheng grinned, knowing what they are thinking. Meanwhile, Zheng Yi helplessly smiled as he sat beside Jing Bai who is poking him, wanted to secretly tell him what is about to happen.

"Everyone… just wait until the first 'casualty' happens." Cheng Sheng just said. The smile on his lips is meaningful.

… first 'casualty'? They thought and felt their hearts skipped a beat in nervousness. Just from the word 'casualty', it definitely doesn't sound good. What is Cheng Sheng plotting now?! They thought and anxiously turned to resume watching the competition.

…

Fei Luo felt his brow twitching nonstop since this morning. He warily looked at their surroundings but he can't see anything wrong.

"Ge, what's the matter?" Fei Huo asked when he saw Fei Luo suddenly stopped.

Fei Luo didn't answer and just continued looking around.

"Ge..?" Fei Huo called, feeling that his elder brother is acting strange.

Xi He sneered. "Ha she gone dumb now?" he muttered.

Xi Bing glared at him when he saw that Fei Huo's expression turned worried.

"He felt that something is strange." Sun Yan spoke.

"'strange'?" Sun Ri muttered.

"Heh. Isn't he just too nervous?" Xi He snorted.

Sun Yan didn't speak, nor Xi Bing did. Fei Huo looked at Fei Luo worriedly. Just as he was about to speak again, they suddenly heard Xi He cursed out loud.

"FCK!" Xi He's eyes narrowed as he raised his hand to reach something.

Everyone turned and saw Xi He leapt and his hand clutched at something mid-air. "What's wrong?" they asked as Xi He landed on the ground.

But, before Xi He could answer, they heard Fei Luo sharply gasped and clutched his chest as he retreated. "Retreat!" he shouted at them.

"What? What happened?!" Sun Ri asked in panic. Before she could speak again, Sun Yan picked her up and they flew away.

Xi Bing acted and grabbed Fei Huo while Xi He has already fled earlier.

"Fei Luo!" Sun Yan called and grabbed Sun Ri's whip before he used it to wrap Fei Luo's waist and pulled him with them.

As soon as Fei Luo's figure left his spot, they saw that a cracj appeared on the ground. Their eyes widened in shock.

"Thanks." Fei Luo spoke as he flew on his sword and removed the whip surrounding his narrow waist.

Sun Yan nodded and returned the whip to Sun Ri.

"What was that?" Fei Huo asked. "Ge, are you okay?" he worriedly looked at Fei Luo.

Fei Luo didn't answer again and took out his Cleansing Stone.

"FCK!" they heard Xi He cursed again.

They turned to him.

"My points dropped!" Xi He said through his gnashed teeth.

"What?!" they exclaimed.

Fei Luo frowned when he saw that his points dropped by thirty points.

"What was that just now?" Sun Ri asked. "And how can our points decrease?" she added.

"Xiao Bing and xiao Ling." Fei Luo answered while Xi He gnashed his teeth in anger.

"Xiao Bing and xiao Ling?!" Sun Ri exclaimed.

Sun Yan's face became clouded. "I have a guess." He spoke.

"Me, too." Xi Bing spoke as he secured Fei Huo on his shoulder.

Fei Luo remained not speaking.

…

Sun Yu's face darkened while the other sect leaders looked worried as they watched xiao Ling and xiao Bao flew to where the other participants are.

"Hey. Sect leader Sun. Why are you looking at me?!" Xie Lan asked as he moved his seat closer to Wu Yuan when he saw that Sun Yu is glaring at him.

"… isn't this your disciple's 'wonderful' idea?!" Sun Yu asked.

"This style should be Cheng Sheng's style indeed." Jing Rui agreed.

Qian Shan coughed and looked away. Obviously, he agrees to what Jing Rui said. Tang Teng and Li Nanzi remained silent. Meanwhile, He Run, Wu Tong, Hui Qiu, Su Wan and the other sect leaders looked confused. What are they talking about? They thought.

"Ehem." Zheng Fu Gong coughed while Pai Lie's lip twitched as they watched the competition.

The Xinfaxian Sect and the Youxiwang Sect weren't spared by xiao Ling and xiao Bao. In fact, they are even ruthless to them even if their masters are from the Xinfaxian Sect, and Cheng Sheng is also affiliated to the Youxiwang Sect.

"This should be the real elimination period." Zheng Fu Gong spoke.

…

"The 'real elimination period'?" the elders spoke as they looked at both Cheng Sheng and Zheng Yi.

"What is there to eliminate about when they have 'safely' passed the point threshold? This stage would become boring then if they would wait for the next point threshold." Cheng Sheng spoke.

Everyone. "…" he really said 'boring', didn't he? They thought and looked at Zheng Yi, the organizer, with pity.

"There is also the 'period'. It means over a certain length of time. If the elimination would last for just a day, it will definitely be boring." Cheng Sheng continued.

Everyone. "…" he said it. He said it again. They thought and looked at Zheng Yi with sympathetic gazes.

"So, I suggested to add this game." Cheng Sheng smiled.

Fei Yin looked at him and felt his heart beat wildly. He both loved and hated this devious smile of Cheng Sheng. He loves it since he feels his heart is being tickled by it. He hated it since he knows he is pitting someone again, him can be included.

Cheng Sheng rose from his seat. "Participants!" he called.

Everyone watched as the participants stopped.

"The rules have said it before – xiao Bao and xiao Ling can steal your points." Cheng Sheng spoke. "One, by saving you, they can deduct your points. Two, the methods still isn't known yet, and it is up to you to figure it out." He smiled.

Zheng Yi coughed and apologetically smiled. "Participants, strength should be increased and never be decreased. You have gone complacent." He spoke. "In order to shape up all of you, xiao Bao and xiao Ling will be there to 'help' you achieve it." He explained.

Everyone, including the pitiful participants.. "…" oh, god! Zheng Yi has been corrupted by the evil Cheng Sheng! The righteous Zheng Yi has learned to pit others, too! They thought.
