A week passed quickly.
On the day the results were revealed, the entire Lingxiao Sect once again gathered in Lingxiao Square.
This ti, the scale of the event was even grander than on the day Plants vs. Zombies was released.
After all, compared to watching "an Outer Sect Disciple have his cultivation crippled by a Sect Elder,"
"a Sect Elder being punished to Siguo Valley to contemplate his mistakes by an Outer Sect Disciple" was far more exciting.
Everyone in the Lingxiao Sect knew about the quality of Plants vs. Zombies.
Its coverage rate was over 90%, and most had at least completed the adventure mode.
According to the requirents Elder Ding Mingcang made a week ago, it was clear that he had lost.
At this mont, in Lingxiao Square, countless Disciples whispered among themselves.
"Who do you think will win or lose today?"
"Is that even a question? Elder Ding is definitely going to lose!"
"Really? How do I feel like swinging my sword 3,000 tis a day is a bit difficult?"
"You obviously got too engrossed in the ga and didn't count carefully. As long as you spend more than two hours inside, you can complete 4,000 swings, let alone 3,000!"
"Oh no, I feel like I can spend five hours a day inside."
"That ans this Fellow Daoist is still very restrained."
"By the way, what are your nas in the Illusion Realm, Fellow Daoists? Should we exchange them?"
"Do you think Elder Ding will honor his bet and go to Siguo Valley to contemplate his mistakes?"
"From my many years of experience, absolutely not. Junior Brother Lu will definitely give the Elder so Face, and both sides will take a step back and call it even."
"Really? I always feel like Junior Brother Lu isn't that kind of person..."
"Agreed. I also feel like Junior Brother Lu prefers to tornt others."
...
Before long, Lu Ze and the Elders of the Lingxiao Sect gradually arrived.
Lu Ze still maintained a calm and composed deanor.
On the other side, Ding Mingcang had a dark, stern expression.
"To ensure fairness, I will personally reveal the results of this Illusion Realm!"
Grand Elder Chao Wendao cleared his throat and walked to the huge Illusion Tower in front of the open space.
He took out the main Illusion Realm crystal of Plants vs. Zombies from it and held it in his right hand.
At the sa ti, he extended his right hand, and two golden threads ford from Spiritual Qi wrapped around the Illusion crystal.
Chao Wendao closed his eyes, extracting data from the crystal while projecting the information into the air using a spell.
"First item: Disciples' usage duration!"
Chao Wendao's voice bood like a bell.
A number ford by white light floated in mid-air:
"Average daily usage duration for Sect Disciples: Three and a half hours."
As soon as this data appeared, there was a flurry of discussion below the stage.
"What? Only three and a half hours? Who's dragging us down? Step forward!"
"An average of three and a half hours is too exaggerated. If other Sects hear about it, they'll definitely think we're not doing our proper work."
"? Who says we're not doing our proper work? Aren't we practicing swordplay?"
"Exactly, Fellow Daoist, you can't just say anything. We're practicing swordplay; planting spiritual plants and fighting zombies are secondary."
...
Chao Wendao continued: "Second item: Disciples' daily sword swing count!"
The second piece of information appeared:
"Average daily sword swing count for Sect Disciples: 7328 tis."
As soon as this data was released, even the Disciples themselves couldn't believe it.
"What? I can swing my sword so many tis in a day? Is this fake?"
"Indeed, you never know your limits until you push yourself."
"The main point is, we did it every day, and we didn't feel tired at all..."
"If there were no classes, I feel like this data could break ten thousand!"
...
These two data points were undoubtedly very exaggerated.
They all far exceeded the conditions previously set by Ding Mingcang.
"As for the ingenuity of the the... I personally believe that Plants vs. Zombies truly achieved both ingenuity and thought. There's no doubt about that."
Chao Wendao said to himself.
"Do either of you have any other opinions?"
Having said that, he looked at Lu Ze and Ding Mingcang.
Lu Ze smiled, making a "please" gesture towards Ding Mingcang.
Ding Mingcang was seething with anger but tried hard to restrain himself.
He cleared his throat.
"I believe that Outer Sect Disciple Lu Ze cheated during the activity! This result should not count!"
Ding Mingcang said with certainty.
"Oh? How did I cheat? Please tell , Elder Ding."
Lu Ze was amused.
He had anticipated that this guy would try to bite back, so he was just waiting to watch the show.
"I heard that two days after this competition began, Lu Ze openly sold new Illusion Realm crystals in the Refining Hall... This ans that the Disciples experienced more than one Illusion Realm, and these two results are not accurate!"
"Let correct you, those weren't new Illusion Realm crystals, but updated levels."
"So what? Didn't you misjudge the difficulty yourself, and seeing that the Disciples were about to complete the levels, you quickly added new ones temporarily? What is that if not cheating?"
Lu Ze found Ding Mingcang's words amusing.
This guy's will to survive was truly strong; he was starting to argue illogically.
"In the rules we set before we started, there was no such clause."
Lu Ze was righteous and did not back down in the slightest.
"Besides, what do you an I only added levels when I saw my Senior and Junior Brothers were about to complete them? You can ask the Senior Brothers if there were icons for difficult survival mode and Endless Mode from the very beginning when they entered. It's just that I hadn't activated them beforehand!"
Lu Ze's statent received unanimous confirmation from the Disciples below.
Before Lu Ze's update, so Disciples had been curious about what the gray question marks were.
"But you..."
Ding Mingcang was montarily speechless, racking his brain to organize his words.
"But the difficulty of the subsequent levels you released was clearly different from before!"
"Do you dare to say that you weren't intentionally trying to make your fellow Disciples stuck? You simply didn't want them to pass!"
"Since it's an unsolvable problem, then you are cheating! You are using your fellow Disciples' trust and their competitive spirit to help you win this competition!"
"That Endless Mode... is simply impossible to clear!!"
Ding Mingcang's statent resonated with many Disciples.
The crowd below instantly erupted into a clamor.
"Elder Ding's words seem to make so sense."
"I also feel like it's impossible to beat!"
"If that's the case... Since it's inherently unbeatable, bringing it out was really just to make us play longer and help him win?"
"If that's the case, then it's too much!"
"Fellow Daoists, don't be impatient. I, for one, feel like each ti I'm just a little bit away from passing..."
...
Seeing the Disciples below gradually turn on each other, Ding Mingcang felt the ti was right and quickly pretended to be a good person.
"I can understand your feelings."
"You're just worried that I'll cripple your cultivation and expel you from the Sect."
"But cheating is absolutely wrong!"
"Considering you do have so talent, how about we void this Sect contract? I will explain to the Sect Master for you."
These lines, which had been prepared long ago, amused Lu Ze.
This guy chickened out.
Blaming him first and then taking a step back.
Presumably, most Disciples would give an Elder Face at this point and let it go.
But Lu Ze wouldn't.
Lu Ze's mission to defeat Ding Mingcang hadn't been completed «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» yet!
And the more damage he inflicted upon him, the richer the rewards!
How could he let him escape punishnt?
He was, after all, a genuine practitioner of the Demonic Path.
It's perfectly reasonable not to do good deeds, right?
Without thinking, he imdiately interrupted Ding Mingcang's words:
"Who wants to take a step back with you?"
"Even before I joined the Sect, my tutor told that honoring a bet is only right and proper!"
"Today, if I can prove that this Endless Mode is not unbeatable, will Elder Ding honor his bet? How about it?"
