"It's nothing more than a slightly more advanced form of rapid regeneration, less than one percent of the self-healing speed of my scales back in the day. You dare call yourself immortal? It's utterly laughable!"
Zhou Ye picked up another potato chip, remaining noncommittal about Drag's complaints.
"Don't rush, the game has only just begun."
On the screen, Rias and her retinue have already entered the battlefield, which is a simulation of the Kouma Academy school building.
Soon, they encountered Riesel Phoenix's first wave of attacks.
Explosions and flashes of light appeared on the screen.
Although Rias's familiars were well-coordinated, they quickly found themselves in a fierce battle against Riesel's superior numbers and fearless fighting spirit.
What's more troublesome is that Riesel himself acted as if nothing was wrong, leisurely watching the battle from the back with a frivolous smile on his face.
"It's really ugly."
Even Shizuka Marikawa couldn't help but cover her eyes.
"There are too few people on Rias's side."
"It's not that there are few people."
Zhou Ye finally put down the potato chips, leaned back on the sofa, and put his hands behind his head.
"It's because Rias's playstyle is too clean. We fought together in the [House of Spirit and Time], so why is she so timid here?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it silenced everyone in the room.
"Ranking games are essentially a microcosm of war. But Rias and the others are still fighting with a dueling mentality."
A playful smile appeared on Zhou Ye's lips.
"Naive, so naive."
He had barely finished speaking when he felt his hands were empty.
He had a thought in his mind.
hum.
A glass filled with ice and soda appeared out of thin air beside him, with icy water droplets still condensed on its surface.
The entire process was devoid of energy fluctuations or magic circles, as if the glass of cola was simply meant to be there.
"!"
Draig's green mechanical dragon eyes instantly caused the data stream to flood like a waterfall!
It suddenly stood up from the table, staring intently at the glass of cola, its very soul trembling.
[Creating something out of thin air! That unreasonable ability again! This madman! After absorbing those two demonic things, his control over power has become even more monstrous!]
Zhou Ye picked up his cup and took a large, contented sip.
"belch……"
He let out a satisfied burp, completely ignoring the mechanical dragon beside him that was on the verge of system crash.
Meanwhile, inside the Devil's VIP room.
Heath Ledger Phoenix looked at Zhou Ye's relaxed yet almost rude demeanor on the small screen in front of him, and the smile in his eyes finally turned cold.
"Lord Sazex, the human your sister chose doesn't seem to care much about this game that will decide her fate."
He slowly put down his wine glass.
“That won’t do. It would make our Phoenix family lose face.”
He turned his head and looked at the blond youth standing behind him who resembled Raisel in some ways, but whose demeanor was much more composed.
"Leval".
"Yes, Father."
The young man bowed slightly.
"go."
Heath Ledger said only one word, but Leval Phoenix understood immediately.
He bowed to Sazex, then turned and, with two attendants, headed straight for the observation room where Zhou Ye was.
Sazex watched Leval's departing figure without saying a word, only gently swirling the wine in his glass, the scarlet liquid swirling within like a bottomless vortex.
boom.
The door to Zhou Ye's observation room was violently pushed open.
Leval Phoenix walked in with a formulaic, aristocratic smile.
The two attendants behind him, like two iron towers, blocked the doorway.
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly.
Nami stopped calculating, and Saeko Busujima's hand, gripping the hilt of her sword, bulged with veins.
"Excuse me, your Excellency?"
Nami stood up and asked politely, but her tone was already wary.
Leval's gaze, however, bypassed her and landed directly on Zhou Ye, who was still slumped on the sofa.
"You're Zhou Ye?"
His tone was full of condescending scrutiny.
Zhou Ye didn't even turn around; his eyes remained fixed on Rias's battle on the screen.
"Is something wrong?"
He replied casually.
This complete disregard caused Leval's smile to freeze for a moment.
He took a deep breath, maintaining his aristocratic demeanor, but his voice turned cold.
“My name is Leval Phoenix, the elder brother of Riesel.”
He deliberately emphasized the word "elder brother".
"My father asked me to give his regards to Mr. Zhou Ye, and also to ask, what do you think of this match?"
He deliberately spoke the word "competition" in a way that was full of mockery and ridicule.
The implication is self-evident.
This is my territory. What are you, a human, doing here acting like a big shot?
Zhou Ye finally reacted.
He slowly turned his head and glanced at Leval.
Then he laughed.
That smile was pure and innocent, like the boy next door.
"Oh, the roast chicken guy's brother."
puff!
Nami almost burst out laughing.
Leval's face instantly darkened.
"What did you say?"
"I'm telling you, this match..."
Zhou Ye turned his gaze back to the screen, picked up the iced cola, took another sip, and then slowly spoke.
"It's pretty boring."
"It's like watching a group of adults surrounding a kindergarten child, playing some kind of game where they can't move."
He paused, turned his head, and looked at Leval, whose face was ashen, with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.
Chapter 141 A Test from Phoenix 2
"What did you say?"
Leval's voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from between his teeth, each word sharp and icy.
His face, which had maintained an aristocratic demeanor, was now completely gloomy, with veins throbbing faintly at his temples.
Zhou Ye, however, seemed oblivious to his murderous expression.
He yawned lazily and even shifted to a more comfortable position, sinking into the soft sofa.
“I said, your brother’s performance was very childish.”
"Fifteen against five, and the fight is so close, isn't that embarrassing?"
"If I were an elder in the Phoenix family, I would have turned off the TV by now to avoid raising my blood pressure."
Every word Zhou Ye said was like a slap in the face to Leval Phoenix.
"Humanity!"
Leval took a step forward, and a wave of scorching heat radiated outwards from him.
"You are challenging the dignity of the entire Phoenix family!"
The two attendants behind him also released their magic at the same time, and the air pressure in the room instantly became heavy.
Nami slammed her notebook shut, stood up, and stood between Zhou Ye and Leval. Although she wore a professional smile, her tone was devoid of any warmth.
"Sir, let's talk this out. Show some respect to my eldest son."
Saeko Busujima didn't move, but the knuckles of her hand gripping the hilt of the knife had turned white from the force.
Her entire aura changed, like a sharp blade about to be drawn, ready to cut down everything in its path.
"Nami, step back."
Zhou Ye's voice came from behind, still in that calm and unperturbed tone.
