“I choose Qu You!” At that moment, beside the No. 10 battle platform, a man in his forties spoke up.
Only then did Lin Xiao snap back to reality. He had forgotten to keep shouting. Now, no one else in Group 3 would choose him, so he had no choice but to step down from the platform.
“If no one picks me next, I’m afraid it will take a full round before my turn comes again!” Lin Xiao sighed inwardly.
As a seeded contestant, he received the privilege of having the other seeded players separated. However, he did not know the specific numbers within Group 10, so he could only be the last one to choose.
Of course, since each person had to fight five matches, it would take roughly four or five more rounds anyway. Being the last to choose did not really matter.
Besides, there was still a chance that someone might pick him midway.
“Hmph, do you really think my strength is that weak?” Qu You angrily stepped onto the platform.
He had been forced to kneel by Mu Haoran, but that did not mean his strength was weak. Even now, he still could not understand how Mu Haoran possessed such powerful spiritual energy.
Since the other side looked down on him and called him up like this, he would now prove to everyone that he was not the weakest.
Otherwise, everyone would keep thinking he was too feeble and pick him first every time.
“Whether you are weak or not, you will find out very soon!”
The middle-aged man with “Youzhou Peng Wen” written on his back said coldly, “Qu You, you did not hold back when you attacked my junior brother on the island. Now, crawl over here on your knees and apologise to me!”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao finally understood. No wonder the other side did not choose him. It turned out there was a grudge against Qu You.
His junior brother had probably been seriously injured by Qu You in the first round.
When there was a personal feud involved, it was obviously better to pick the enemy than to pick him.
Qu You had already been humiliated by Mu Haoran forcing him to kneel and throwing him off the stage. He was already furious beyond measure.
Now the other side wanted to use him to vent their anger and take revenge. His rage reached its peak, and he immediately shouted, “You…”
However, before he could finish, a powerful spiritual sense surged into his mind, instantly seizing control of him.
Bang!
Qu You dropped to his knees on the spot. Then he slapped himself hard across the face. His entire attitude flipped one hundred and eighty degrees. With a fawning tone, he said, “It was my fault. I, Qu You, am nothing but a bastard, lower than a pig or a dog. I am not fit to be human!”
As he spoke, he kowtowed repeatedly while crawling towards the middle-aged man.
“Uh…”
The crowd fell silent. Just moments ago he had been so arrogant, and now he was kneeling, kowtowing, and admitting fault?
He was even insulting himself. He had clearly been directly controlled by spiritual sense.
“Brother Peng Wen, I was wrong. I should not have hit your junior brother. I should not have caused him to be eliminated. I was blind and foolish. Brother Peng Wen, you are like my father, my grandfather. From now on, I will do whatever you say. If you tell me to eat shit, I won’t dare drink piss…”
While crawling, Qu You kept spouting the most vicious self-insults. Many spiritual controllers present twitched at the corners of their mouths.
This humiliation was far too cruel. They wondered what Qu You would feel when he regained his senses later.
He would probably want to die.
And if they themselves ever encountered a powerful spiritual controller…
Most people did not even dare to think about it.
Of course, those who were confident looked on with glee. Qu You’s strength really was too poor. No wonder he had been directly controlled and lost to Mu Haoran.
Naturally, very few believed it was true enslavement.
If he had truly been enslaved, he would have become a real slave. Who would want to control a useless person as a slave?
Moreover, if he were truly enslaved, he would not regain clarity.
If he viewed the other as master, how could he be made to wake up later? How could he be made to feel humiliated?
Therefore, Peng Wen definitely had not enslaved Qu You. It must have been direct spiritual control.
At the same time, on another platform, a spiritual controller who had been forced to dance suddenly performed an alluring dance move and jumped off the battle stage, drawing bursts of mocking laughter.
Then a scream like a slaughtered pig rang out, “Ah!!! I’m going to kill you!!!”
The dancing spiritual controller regained his senses and nearly lost control. In front of everyone, he, a man, had been forced to dance so seductively. The thought alone made him want to vomit blood.
“Do you want to dance again?” the young man on the platform mocked.
“Hahaha…” Waves of laughter erupted once more, echoing across the entire area.
The dancing spiritual controller’s face darkened. His fists clenched tightly, but he did not dare step forward.
First, he really could not beat the other side. Otherwise, he would not have been controlled.
Second, if he went back up to take revenge after losing, it would violate the rules. If the referee gave the order, he would be finished this round.
So he had to endure. He could only endure.
Looking at the people around him and in the distance laughing their heads off, the young man felt like killing himself. He was holding back so hard he nearly vomited blood. His lifelong reputation had been destroyed right here.
“Wang Rui, one day I will kill you!” the young man said coldly.
“I’ll be waiting. Hmm, next time I’ll make you dance again. I hope your moves improve, hahaha!” The young man named Wang Rui laughed loudly as he stepped down from the battle platform.
Another round of uproarious laughter filled the air.
“Brilliant, truly brilliant!”
“Definitely worth coming here. The Spiritual Controller Grand Competition really has every kind of spectacle!”
“Revenge for grudges, retribution for enmity. Every kind of humiliating tactic can be used, hahaha…”
“Look at Platform No. 10! Qu You on Platform No. 10 is kneeling and licking his opponent!”
…
The crowd turned their attention back to Platform No. 10. They saw Qu You kowtowing repeatedly while crawling towards Peng Wen. He had already reached Peng Wen’s feet.
“No wonder even a sixth-grade advanced spiritual power user like Mu Haoran couldn’t beat him. He really is this weak. He deserves to be humiliated!”
“What a useless thing!” …
Many spectators in the crowd began cursing.
Others, especially those eliminated by Qu You in the first round, watched with malicious delight.
By now, Qu You was directly licking Peng Wen’s feet. While licking, he begged, “Brother Peng Wen, please spare me. Please spare me!”
Peng Wen lifted one foot and said, “Lick the sole of my shoe. Swallow it!”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Qu You licked the bottom of Peng Wen’s shoe and swallowed. His movements were surprisingly swift. While licking the sole, he still remembered to kowtow a few more times.
“So ruthless!” Many people outside Platform No. 10 thought to themselves. They had already ruled out choosing Peng Wen as their first opponent.
Since Peng Wen could directly control Qu You with spiritual sense, his strength was clearly not weak. If he won, fine. If he lost, the consequences would probably be just as bad. The humiliation would be total.
It had to be said that this method of humiliating an opponent was not just about revenge, venting anger, or boosting one’s own reputation. It also served to intimidate other spiritual controllers.
At the beginning, no one knew much. But after one round, when it came time for him to choose, he could pick an even weaker opponent.
“Crawl through my legs!”
At that moment, Peng Wen shouted loudly. He spread his stance. Qu You happily crawled through, kowtowing and licking as he went, “Being able to crawl through Brother Peng Wen’s crotch is the greatest honour of my life!”
Everyone’s worldview shattered. The crowd looked on with contempt. The surrounding spectators could not help but burst into laughter. Qu You’s future was probably ruined.
Destroying a person’s spirit was exactly this cruel. Spiritual controllers truly were all ruthless characters.
Qu You had first been forced to kneel by Mu Haoran, then made to kneel and lick while crawling through Peng Wen’s legs. Even if this did not kill him with anger, he would never get over this mental block. His cultivation would never advance again.
“Get lost!”
After Qu You crawled through, Peng Wen’s voice rang out again.
“Yes, yes, yes! Rolling away is the greatest honour of my life. From now on, rolling is my title!”
With that, Qu You rolled off the battle platform.
After rolling off the platform and tumbling a few more circles, Qu You’s pig-slaughtering scream finally erupted, “Peng Wen, I’m going to kill you!!!”
