Episode 22
Inside the arena at the hall….
People surround the three women as the threat of a fight raise the tension of these ladies. Da Ji felt her time wasting, Sun Shang Xiang and Xing Cai pay as much attention at the deity's move.
"If you two badly want a demonstration of the different between our power levels then let our true musous collide. Oh, I forgot, Xing Cai has to get close to me for maximum damage. Hahaahahah! You're too weak for me," Da Ji taunted.
"And you're weak on close combat, fox whore! This fork will pierce your skin off, " Xing Cai readied her stand.
"We're born by fierce warriors during the chaos, Da Ji. Don't underestimate the will of the sun," Sun Shang Xiang boldly stated.
"Sun Jian and Zhang Fei died like a bunch of idiots," Da Ji nodded.
"Bring it on," Sun Shang Xiang charges at Da Ji as she swirl her body and release her Astral Charkams.
"Oh come on, do you really intend to fight me on that state, Lady Sun. I'm a celestial being," Da Ji dodge them easily. But, Xing Cai linked the pattern by executing a air charge darting downward above Da Ji, "Tch.."
The impact strikes the crowd into amazement. Xing Cai packed more strength on her moves thanks to the training. She'll prepare herself for the tournament and assist Guan Ping.
"So, you improve yourself a little more skillful. Good timing, but not fast enough compare to the loyal dog," Da Ji clapped her hands.
"She's provoking us to go on Musou Rage state, but we'll end up half powered when we get into the ring," Sun Shang Xiang thought.
"Relax, there will be more once I get into that ring with you mice," Da Ji said.
"Come again?" Xing Cai glared at Da Ji confused.
"The top 10 wild card. I am among one of them, prepare yourself losers," Da Ji explained.
"Then, Orochi…" Sun Shang Xiang gasped.
"Oro's at his dimensional watching the tournament," Da Ji said.
Zhen Ji finished her game and turns to where all the people are watching. A familiar face that she will not be comfortable with stares at her making that same face again.
"Da Ji…." Zhen Ji thought.
"Luoshen, how nice to see your pearl face again. Care to team up with me? There's time for a warm up till the real thing. Make that an expectation of our next conflict," Da Ji crosses her arms.
"I'll pass, besides I have no time for fighting wannabe Xena The Warrior princess," Zhen Ji yawned.
Sun Shang Xiang and Xing Cai felt insulted by Zhen Ji. Zhen Ji could careless besides she's saving up her performance for the tournament.
"Zhen Ji, you're one to throw insults at us. I don't care if you're one of the great beauties, but in my eyes, you're so high and mighty because of that attitude," Sun Shang Xiang mocked.
"High and mighty? Heh, you're mistaken me for the ape woman," Zhen Ji scoffed.
"Zhu Rong, come to think of it, I must see to the barbarian queen. Her presence elegant my satisfaction in this tournament," Da Ji tapped her cheek.
"She's number 13 with her man beast husband," Zhen Ji rolleyed.
"Lucky for her unlike little miss flower in green who won't make it to the top tiers," Da Ji waved at Xing Cai.
"Hmph," Xing Cai grunted.
"At least, you'll get some action with Yue Ying," Sun Shang Xiang cheered Xing Cai up.
"Ugh, I'm always overshadowed by her," Xing Cai crossed her arms.
"Hahahaha, putting you on the level of the Two Qiaos. Low tier women, hahahahaah!" Da Ji walks to the exit getting some fresh air outside. She found Cao Pi standing there watching a couple of fools Lu Bu toying with.
The three ladies exchange glances. Zhen Ji never have any compliments with the other DW females except Diao Chan.
"She's going to make your husband cheat on you," Sun Shang Xiang muttered.
"So…, Pi Pi a flirter like his father, it's nothing new. I'm just his sex toy to him," Zhen Ji sighed.
"What kind of men in Wei know anything about love?" Xing Cai asked.
"…." Zhen Ji didn't answer the question. She humming her way through the two younger ladies.
"By the way, what were you doing in the box office with Zhao Yun? I heard the two of you were alone," Sun Shang Xiang curiously brought up the subject.
"None of your business, sweet princess. You best keep that to yourself before you end up in a commotion with the fangirls of his. Trust me, mention Zhao Yun with a woman in front of the Zhao Yun fan girls, you'll get chased by them," Zhen Ji warned.
"His fangirls don't even know him," Xing Cai glared.
"And I know him best, unlike the two of you," Zhen Ji grinned.
Back in the ring…
Guo Jia successfully took a picture of Cao Cao's victory pose on top of Liu Bei. This one will be on the boards once they win the tournament for Wei. Liu Bei moan in pain after getting stomped a couple of times by Cao Cao.
"Mission accomplished," Guo Jia checks out the picture.
"Well Xuande, how many times I count my victories against you? Hmmm.." Cao Cao tries to refresh his memory. Liu Bei only won against incompetent officers in his army.
"You had talent from the start and served the court due to your greedy family," Liu Bei hissed.
"Hahahaha, don't blame them. Blame the fools from your own imperial family who stripped your father's rank," Cao Cao laughed.
"…." Liu Bei frowned.
Sun Jian leaves Yuan Shao and put his attention to the Hero of Chaos.
"Cao Cao, if you're so great, then fight me. Because I'm the one that did all the credit in the coalition while you sit your lazy arse with that numbskull," Sun Jian charged towards Cao Cao and swing his Tiger sword.
"Well then, don't let a single arrow kill you when you face me descendant of Sun Tzu," Cao Cao parried the incoming attack.
With that, Guo Jia return to his task to eliminate Lu Xun. The young strategist is still dodging Zhang Liao. Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun continue a fueled duel. Zhang He is talking to Zhou Yu about beauty giving Zhou Yu time to recover his energy. Xu Huang is giving Sun Ce a hard time. Lu Meng is toying with Guan Ping. Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan are dead even in stamina, but Fei has more power they talk about Xing Cai's mother.
"It's barbaric in here, perhaps the smartest thing is staying in the corner and not get myself over the ropes. Yes, that's the key strategy to winning this tournament. No matter what, a good offense is a good defense. Don't get eliminated, defense win games," Guo Jia strategized.
"Hahaha, so you're the guy Cao Cao brags about winning Chi Bi. You look like a washed up Bu Zhi," Gan Ning walks with his River Master tapped on his shoulder lightly.
"Oh no…" Guo Jia whimpered.
"These bells here strike fear into my enemies. You shall be no different. I don't see how you can save Wei from losing at Chi Bi unless you've never seen a real pirate," Gan Ning said.
"C…Cao Cao! Anyone!" Guo Jia tried to call for help, but everyone of Wei's best is dealing with their rivals.
"Are you wetting your pants just now?" Gan Ning pointed at Guo Jia's bottoms.
"Err…" Guo Jia felt down and cover his head with both arms.
"HAHAHAHA! Oh man, guys, I think we found Wei's weakest link!" Gan Ning said.
Xu Huang turns to see the pirate scum about to make quick work of Guo Jia. Sun Ce is struggling from recovering all his energy to become a hundred percent again.
"I don't know why your officers have no discipline, but I'll lecture that pirate scum after I eliminate…." Xu Huang turn to get the incoming flash kick by Sun Ce.
"…..back to business I go and the strength of the tiger electrifying again," Sun Ce said.
Xu Huang is knocked back do the ring mat hard from the flash kick. He almost bust a lip. Surprised by the sudden change of momentum, Sun Ce is back in full energy. He'll be sure to go musou rage at the right time. He must find a better way to win without rushing it. There are so many worthy opponents.
Taishi Ci is inspire by Bofu's recovery, unfortunately, one of Huang Gai's bombs coming right at him when Yuan Shao dodged them.
"Argh,!" Taishi Ci groaned. The force pushed him into the ropes, however, he fights his way out of elimination by grabbing hold of the rope and not touch his feet off the ground. He struggle himself up and lay on the ring mat to recover his energy.
"Somebody tell that Mr T idiot to stop throwing bombs at us! Who can eliminate this man fast?!" Yuan Shao complained.
"Oh well, since this is every man for himself, Taishi Ci almost got eliminated," Sun Jian muttered. He continue exchanging strikes with Cao Cao's Sword of Heaven.
"Hey Gan Ning, help me out here. I can't beat this guy!" Lu Xun begged. He's still dodging Zhang Liao.
Meanwhile, Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun keep parrying faster and eventually execute projectiles, but Guan Yu's whirlwind countered Xiahou Dun and knocks him a feet away.
"Curse his long range! That weapon of his is the biggest problem, not his strength," Xiahou Dun thought. He struggle himself up and stare at his rival.
Zhou Yu scoffed at Guo Jia's appearance in the ring. So this is the man Cao Cao wanted to win Chi Bi.
"He looks even more like Lu Xun, I see no different if he can really learn naval warfare," Zhou Yu said.
"We have plenty of more strategists as handsome as you and Lu Xun," Zhang He said.
"I regret to inform you, Kan Ze isn't a pretty face. Bu Zhi looks bland compare to his sister, I don't want to comment Zhang Zhao, but he's more of a civil genius than a tactical one, Zhuge Ke knows absolutely nothing, but is another Ma Su. Thank god, I never pick the wrong guy compare to Zhuge Liang," Zhou Yu said.
"Ma Su and Zhuge Ke," Zhang He shook his head.
"Even a wise guy is an idiot," Zhou Yu nodded.
"You got me there…now I know why Jiang Wei is a total failure…" Zhang He grinned.
At the backstage…
"Who you're calling me failure faggot!!" Jiang Wei enraged.
"HAHAHAHAH!" Jin officers laughed out loud.
"Jiang Wei, you're up in 5 minutes!" The staffman informed.
"I'll show you why I'm the prime minister's favorite Junyi!" Jiang Wei hissed.
"And embarrass all your officers by letting them down again loser?" Deng Ai crossed his arms.
"Shut up, you had to take advantage of that idiot Huang Hao to get me out of the command of the army," Jiang Wei urged.
"3 minutes Jiang Wei!" The staffman said.
Back in the Ring…
Somebody is going to get eliminated. Only three candidates. Guo Jia, Taishi Ci, and of course Lu Xun. But those are very predictable. Huang Gai is still throwing bombs at Yuan Shao , but end up hitting other opponents.
"So, Zhuge Liang's heir is a total failure and my heirs all succeed, I feel better now…" Zhou Yu got up and is finally in full energy.
"Looks like you're back up. I did give you a while to be a 100 percent against me until Lord Sima Yi gets into this ring. Unfortunately, I'm waiting for the failure himself to show up," Zhang He said.
"How about the two of us test out Jiang Wei, deal?" Zhou Yu asked.
"Hmm…" Zhang He tries to think it over. He doesn't want to ruin Sima Yi's plans of winning the tournament for Jin, but it would be nice of Jin and Wu work together a little bit, "..just one condition, don't mention the others that I serve Jin now for Lord Sima Yi and don't let Cao Cao find out till the lord gets here ok?"
At the back stage….
"You're up Jiang Wei," the staffman said.
"Good luck, loser," Deng Ai giving Jiang Wei some much needed cheering.
"……" Jiang Wei grumbled. He swear if Liu Chan didn't listen to that eunuch, he could have won. However, Jiang Wei admit one thing Deng Ai is right, he let all his officers down. Will he not do it in this tournament? Shu is at the red. Wei is still dominating.
The Simas appear behind Deng Ai.
"Looks like phrase 1 has begin, now all is set for my chances of winning this tournament, we get Wu to work with us in secret. Cao Cao will not know why Zhang He is teaming up with Zhou Yu," Sima Yi smiled evilly. Deng Ai just stare at Jiang Wei making his way into the ring, not paying attention to Sima Yi. If only his opponent in the qualify round isn't Zhao Yun, he'll be in that same ring with Jiang Wei.
