Chapter 121: Chapter 118: No Martial Ethics! (This Chapter is two in one, 2/5)_1 With Chen Mo’s arrival, the thirty people who had grown bored waiting turned to look at him in unison. "Sorry, I was a bit far from here. You’ve all been waiting for a while," Chen Mo apologized with a smile. "No big deal. We won’t be here for long anyway, so a little more time doesn’t matter," Jiang Jie smiled dismissively. Having finished speaking, he then tossed Chen Mo a bead enveloped in flashing electricity. "This is your reward for acting as a witness." [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have now gathered earth, water, fire, wind, and lightning Spirit Orbs, you can go to the set destination and combine them into a Five Elements Spirit Orb!] As The Heavenly Path’s Hint sounded, Chen Mo saw a new highlighted spot appear on his map, clearly the synthesis location. "I don’t take things from others for nothing. Take this." Seeing the other party’s straightforwardness, Chen Mo, being a direct person himself, tossed the "Instant Group Teleportation Talisman" to Jiang Jie. Jiang Jie initially paid no mind to the item Chen Mo tossed him. It’s probably just some small trinket, he assumed. After all, the Thunder Spirit Pearl was just one component of the Five Elements Spirit Orb, not a complete Five Elements Spirit Orb itself, so its value was significantly lower. However, after reading the item’s information, Jiang Jie was stunned. "Isn’t this thing too valuable?" Group Teleportation Talismans were already rare, let alone Instant Group Teleportation Talismans. The value of such a potent life-saving item, especially one that affected a group, was self-evident. "It’s nothing much, just a fair trade." Now that Chen Mo possessed the Super Instantaneous Group Teleportation Talisman, trading this ordinary one was no great loss. "Alright then, I’ll accept this favor," Jiang Jie said, feeling he had profited greatly this time. Actually, Chen Mo had initially planned to trade something from the spoils he’d acquired earlier. He hadn’t expected Jiang Jie to be so forthright and offer the pearl for free, so he didn’t need to trade and simply tossed the talisman to him. Since the other party was generous, he would naturally reciprocate. "The witness has arrived, so let’s establish the rules for the duels," Jiang Jie said, turning to the members of the aristocratic family. "Go ahead, let’s hear them," Zhao Wuming said, glancing at him and stepping forward. "As we agreed before, it’s two of you against one of them. However, your side is allowed one Support on standby for healing and applying buffs." "Accepted." Zhao Wuming readily agreed. They had already prepared for a two-against-one scenario, and now they could even have an additional Support. "Both sides will pull their punches. Falling below 20% Health counts as an elimination." "Agreed." At this point, Jiang Jie turned to Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue. "Then we’ll ask you two to be the witnesses. If either side reneges on the agreement, we hope you two will intervene." "No problem," Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue replied with smiles. Seeing them clearly state their position, everyone on both sides felt more at ease. "Alright, then let’s begin—" Suddenly, Chen Mo interjected, "Wait a moment. Why don’t we set an area and a time limit? It might not always be a blitzkrieg. Let’s say a maximum of half an hour per match, with the combat area being a two-hundred-meter radius centered on this spot. When time is up, the one with more Health remaining wins. Anyone stepping outside this range during the match will be considered defeated." "Fine by us. We have no objections," Jiang Jie replied nonchalantly. "We have no objections either." The scions of the aristocratic family were never ones to be outdone; if the other side agreed, so would they. "Then, please have both sides select their combatants. Inform me of your choices first, and then they will enter the arena together to prevent any targeted matchups," Chen Mo instructed. Hearing Chen Mo’s proposal, both sides found it reasonable. Soon after, both sides sent Chen Mo their list of participants via the Heavenly Path System. "Good. Then let the first duel commence! From the Aristocratic Family, the first-round contestant is—the man with the five-star initial profession, ’Holy Martial Demon Knight,’ Chen Mo!" The aristocratic family’s Chen Mo had insisted on this introduction. Although our Chen Mo found it a bit cringeworthy to announce, he still obliged. Upon hearing this, the Chen Mo from the aristocratic family proudly strode out, holding a black-red hammer, his chest puffed out. Witnessing this, our Chen Mo was momentarily speechless before continuing, "From the Academy, the first-round participants are Shen Lun, a four-star ’Curse-Disturbing Master,’ and Ma Hong, a four-star ’Defender’! In accordance with our prior agreement, the Aristocratic Family’s side is allowed one additional Support member who will not engage in combat but will only provide healing and cast beneficial buffs—no debuffs. The Aristocratic Family has chosen Lin Jiajia, a three-star ’Nature Priest’! Will the four of you please enter the arena? Everyone else, please withdraw beyond the battlefield perimeter." This wasn’t Chen Mo’s first time officiating such a contest. Back in his school days, whenever teachers had urgent matters, they would often leave him—the top student—in charge of overseeing the remaining duels. So, he was quite adept at it. "Two four-stars against one five-star, and they also have a three-star Support. I feel like the Aristocratic Family’s side has a greater chance of winning," Yan Yingyue remarked, assessing their professions. "It’s hard to say," Chen Mo replied. "The Academy team knew the Aristocratic Family had two five-star professions, so they must have prepared countermeasures." On the Aristocratic Family’s side, Lin Jiajia, holding a verdant Magic Wand, stood near Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue. The rest of the crowd then retreated from the battlefield. Only Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue, the two witnesses, one non-participating Support, and the three combatants remained within the battlefield. Once the combatants were positioned about ten meters apart, Chen Mo immediately announced, "The duel officially begins!"
