#236 - Chapter 236 was acted out?
"Wonderful!" Zhu Qicheng put his hand on Zhu Le's shoulder and praised, "As expected of Xiao Le, you handle things so reliably!"
"You've not only ensured the fairness of the Divine Marriage, but also made arrangements to ensure Jiang Huaijin smoothly passes the Divine Marriage selection in less than twenty-four hours. Xiao Le, you've truly made me see you in a new light!"
"Big brother, how exactly did you educate your child? Share your secrets with us in the future."
Everyone praised him generously.
Zhu Yuan, standing to the side, waved his hand with a smile, "Education is hardly the word for it. From childhood to adulthood, I've let him do whatever he wants and haven't interfered much. If you really want to connect it to me, it can only be genetics."
The corners of several people's mouths twitched, and they gave awkward smiles.
At the same time, Li Chenqiu, standing on the stage, came back to his senses, his deep black eyes filled with suppressed shock and confusion.
"Did I use any force just now?"
Li Chenqiu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he began to deeply doubt his control over his own strength.
To verify his thoughts, Li Chenqiu clenched his fist and punched himself in the chest.
Bang!
Calm and tranquil.
His fist was soft and weak, and he was completely unharmed.
Li Chenqiu frowned, muttering in a low voice, "If it's not my problem, could it be the problem of the people I'm hitting?"
Just as he thought of this, a voice accompanied by the sound of rushing wind rang out from behind him.
"Daring to be in a daze during the selection, you're courting death!"
Li Chenqiu didn't react to the words, but stood motionless in place, as if he hadn't heard anything.
The person who was about to attack Li Chenqiu was slightly stunned, then hurriedly turned his toes, forcibly changed his direction, and smashed towards another person not far away.
At this moment, Li Chenqiu finally understood!
Was he being acted upon?
To verify his thoughts, Li Chenqiu walked around the stage with impunity, like strolling down the street.
During this time, he was besieged, ambushed, and attacked from all sides, but without exception, as long as he chose to ignore them, these people would fly off the stone slab or change the direction of their attacks in various ways.
This made Li Chenqiu even more certain of his guess, and at the same time, he became more and more confused.
"Why are they acting against me? Is this some kind of exhibition match?"
But his questions were destined to go unanswered.
Li Chenqiu's white hair was already eye-catching, coupled with this series of confusing operations, the eyes of the entire audience were immediately drawn to him.
"What is that white-haired guy doing?"
"I don't know. Why aren't the people around him attacking him?"
"Look, the white-haired guy just walked over, and the people over there scattered. What's going on?"
"Is it some kind of special divine ability? Looks amazing!"
"I feel like… something is a little strange. This selection seems to be different from the previous ones!"
The audience in the stands were talking and pointing at Li Chenqiu.
Zhu Le, who witnessed everything, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Don't care whether he fights back or not. If you touch him, fly away. Finish this quickly and don't drag it out any longer!"
After Zhu Le issued the order, the people on the stage no longer deliberately avoided Li Chenqiu.
Soon, several young men near Li Chenqiu swarmed up.
"Boy, you're too arrogant. Our repeated concessions have only led to you taking an inch after we give you a foot. Since that's the case, then don't blame us!"
"Everyone, attack together!"
"Get down!"
The few men shouted fiercely, startling Li Chenqiu, who was in a state of confusion.
"Are they really going to attack?" Li Chenqiu looked at the few men with doubt.
Under the gaze of the entire audience, the attacks of the few men landed solidly on Li Chenqiu's body. Several divine energies mixed together, bursting out with dazzling and brilliant light, completely concealing their figures.
The terrifying power spread out, causing ripples in the air.
"This power… is too terrifying!"
"The white-haired kid is going to meet his end!"
"Who told him to be so arrogant? If he knew how to be humble, he wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Obviously, everyone thought Li Chenqiu was finished, including Xiang Nanzhi.
"Strange, but he's going to be eliminated this time, right?" Xiang Nanzhi crossed her arms and stared at the stage.
The next second, several shrill screams echoed throughout the arena.
"This… impossible!!!"
"Ahhh!"
"Stop, please don't!"
Several figures shot out from the dazzling light like bullets, leaving streaks of afterimages in the air as they flew off the stone slab.
Li Chenqiu, who was at the very center, immediately darkened his face after hearing those screams.
"Acting against me, huh? As if I don't know how to act."
Li Chenqiu narrowed his eyes, swayed his body, and flashed in front of a burly young man, shouting, "Come on, let's go together!"
"Courting death!"
The young man revealed a fierce expression, his fist tearing through the air, meeting the attack head-on.
Bang!
The two fists collided.
In the surprised gazes of everyone on the stage, Li Chenqiu bent over and shot out.
"Huh?"
The burly young man widened his eyes, standing blankly in place.
How did he fly away? I clearly didn't use any force!
On the high platform, Zhu Yuan and the others, who were originally chatting and laughing, had their rosy complexions turn pale in an instant.
"This, this, this…"
Just as Zhu Yuan was about to say something, Zhu Le put his hand on his shoulder and said with a smug smile, "Father, don't panic. I've long considered the possibility of someone not being able to control their strength. Jiang Huaijin won't be able to get out."
At this time, Li Chenqiu didn't know the surprise that Zhu Le had prepared for him.
Feeling the whistling wind in his ears, Li Chenqiu only felt extremely comfortable in his heart: "This is going to be a sure thing."
Just as Li Chenqiu was about to fly off the stone slab, a gentle force suddenly came from behind him, forcibly stabilizing him on the edge of the stone slab.
"This…" Li Chenqiu's pupils dilated, and his mouth widened uncontrollably.
Upon seeing this, everyone on the field froze for 0.01 seconds, then withdrew their gazes and continued to do their jobs.
On the high platform, Zhu Yuan and the others all looked at Zhu Le with puzzled expressions.
Zhu Yuan asked, "Son, what's going on?"
Zhu Le pointed to the stone slab and said, "I arranged a telekinetic power user among these actors. The meaning of his existence is to protect Jiang Huaijin and prevent him from falling."
Zhu Dian looked at Zhu Le in surprise: "Amazing, Xiao Le, you even considered this!"
"These are just small tricks, not worth mentioning." Zhu Le smiled modestly and added, "In addition to this, in order to ensure that Jiang Huaijin can reach the end, I also changed the Divine Marriage selection to a point system."
"Point system?" Zhu Yuan raised an eyebrow: "What point system?"
Zhu Le explained, "In the past, our Divine Marriage selections were round-by-round eliminations, and the person who stayed until the end was the candidate who passed the Divine Marriage. This kind of selection was too cumbersome and inefficient, so I made some changes."
