CHAPTER 525: CHAPTER 393: AMAZING, THEY CAN EVEN CHOOSE THEIR OPPONENTS

"Woo!" (Chen Mo, in this match, I want to fight the Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt.)

Xiao Jiu eagerly volunteered.

In the previous matches, part of its power of wishing had transformed again, so this time it wanted to go big.

Maybe it could use this opportunity to evolve into the Miracle Fox!

"I have a better idea."

Chen Mo originally planned to nod in agreement, but then thought of a better plan.

"Woo?" (What idea?)

Xiao Jiu tilted its head.

"We can fight the Pharaoh in the semifinals. For the quarterfinals, it’s best to arrange for a Spirit Beast with strength around the Totem First Rank as the opponent."

Chen Mo suggested.

"Then in the quarterfinals, Jiu Bao, you should pretend to struggle at your utmost to defeat the opponent."

"Woo?" (Why?)

The Wishing Six-tailed Spirit Fox was puzzled but soon understood.

"In this way, everyone would think your strength is just slightly stronger than a Spirit Beast of the Totem First Rank, and their expectations of you would lower. Then, when you defeat the Pharaoh’s Golden Sun Bird, in their eyes, that would be a miracle!"

Chen Mo explained.

Besides, given Xiao Jiu’s current strength, defeating the Golden Sun Bird was indeed challenging.

In previous matches, the Golden Sun Bird’s strength hadn’t been fully displayed, and just by activating the [Mythical Form], it possessed combat power comparable to the Totem Fourth Rank!

There’s still a chance of losing.

Though with Qingling backing, Xiao Jiu wouldn’t gain Miracle Power this way.

However, if they face the Pharaoh in the semifinals, they could acquire a weekly entry during this period, adding to their odds of winning.

"Yay!" (Alright! As expected of you, Chen Mo!)

Tuantuan clapped, expressing recognition of Chen Mo.

"Woo!"

Xiao Jiu nodded as well, thinking it was very feasible.

"I’m getting a bit tired of baby matches, so let’s play a mid-level match first!"

"Let me see, which unlucky chap should we pick next?"

Chen Mo opened the list of players advancing to the top sixteen and began studying it with his Spirit Beast.

"This one doesn’t even have a Totem Spirit Beast, too weak. How about assigning it to Mengmeng?"

"Earth Qilin... Totem Third Rank, that’s a bit too strong."

"Oh! Totem Second Rank, and it’s water-type. This guy seems very suitable."

...

If others knew what Chen Mo and his team were doing right now, they would surely be left speechless.

It’s brilliant that they could actually pick their opponents.

Soon, the lottery results came out.

Under Xiao Jiu’s Wish Technique "backdoor operation," Chen Mo successfully ended up with an "old opponent"—

Qin Bo, another champion of the Water King Tournament.

His main Spirit Beast was the Totem Second Rank Huai River Lord, also a native competitor from Dongxia.

Qin Bo seeing his opponent was Chen Mo had a "constipated" look on his face.

"Why is it this guy again."

He would rather face Chen Meng than have Chen Mo as his opponent.

That giant whale with full defensive power was just like an iron turtle, utterly unassailable!

The next day, the top sixteen matches of the World Championship continued in the ancient arena.

This ancient arena had been rebuilt dozens of times in less than a month.

The destructive power of the Totem Spirits was truly astonishing!

However, the original design of this ancient arena was intended to be this way. The safety index of the arena’s barrier was very high, while the interior grounds were extremely spacious, allowing the Spirit Beasts to "destroy" it at will, treated entirely as a disposable item.

"Rest assured! Senior, I won’t use the Hanhai Dragon Whale this time."

Seeing Qin Bo’s stern face opposite, Chen Mo smiled and reassured him.

"Really?"

Qin Bo couldn’t quite comprehend.

If Chen Mo were to choose the Hanhai Dragon Whale, he would really have no way to deal with it.

As for other Spirit Beasts, he felt his Huai River Lord still had a fighting chance.

"Of course it’s true."

As he spoke, the Wishing Six-tailed Spirit Fox slowly walked onto the arena.

Seeing Chen Mo start with Xiao Jiu, many people were puzzled.

Although the Wishing Six-tailed Spirit Fox was strong, in terms of attributes, it was restrained by the Huai River Lord!

In the ensuing match, Xiao Jiu showcased superb "acting skills."

To be precise, it actively limited part of its abilities, did not equip [Full Firepower], and did not reveal the Fire God Flame’s six-in-one.

Finally, after a tense confrontation, Xiao Jiu "struggled" to win the match.

Moreover, when Qin Bo fielded his second quasi-Totem Spirit Beast, Chen Mo decided to concede.

It amounted to a "1-for-1."

"Scared me to death, I almost thought Chen Mo was going to lose!"

"So close!"

"It was already great. Water naturally restrains fire, defeating the Huai River Lord is already impressive. You must know Jiu Shen is just at the Overlord Level now."

"Alas, I originally thought Xiao Jiu could keep winning undefeated. Now it seems if it runs into top contenders like the Pharaoh or Mengdie, it would likely lose."

...

Although Xiao Jiu won the match.

Compared to its previous "invincible" posture, it was far less impressive, not as stunning as before.

Seeing everyone’s reactions, Chen Mo’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Everything was going as planned!

Chen Mo’s second deployment was Bing Lan.

These days, the Snow Sea Spirit had been clamoring daily to be in the match.

How could it miss an opportunity to shine as the Ice Emperor!

Annoyed by its constant pestering, Chen Mo finally agreed to let it compete today.
