Listen, it's time to get to the point. Jia Tao softly reminded Leshuo who was dozing off with his eyes open behind him, Leshuo's pupils instantly returned to focus, and reminded his teammates who were also napping in the same way.

There's no way, the military attache in country X who spoke is too verbose, even more than the company's leader, and it's all meaningless nonsense, who knows how a martial artist can be so verbose.

"There will be two rounds of elimination, the first round will be set by the competition committee for you to set random tasks, the first ten teams to complete will be qualified to participate in the finals, now, please the captains of each participating team in alphabetical order on the stage to draw lots. ”

"Isn't it, now that you are still playing lottery?" Shang Dongfang wailed softly, and the rest of the team members looked at the back of their captain, and they all showed desperate expressions, even Nie Tian.

Without him, Jia Tao is good at everything as a captain, but his hands are too dark, and when everyone gets together to play cards on weekdays, Jia Tao is always the unlucky ghost who is better than technology and defeated by luck.

Seeing that it was about to be their turn, Leshuo rolled his eyes and said softly: "Boss, do you want to use the excuse of going to the toilet and wash your hands?"

"Shut up. Jia Tao scolded speechlessly, then walked up to the high platform in full view of everyone, arched his hand towards Garcia who was the host, grabbed a note in the closed box, and handed it to the staff behind him to register after reading something.

With a smile on his face and movements in one go, it was not at all clear from his expression that he had drawn an easy or difficult task.

As a result, when I returned to the dormitory and discussed it head-to-head, I was all dumbfounded.

"Hunting three spirit beasts above level eight?" Shang Dongfang opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and his expression seemed like Jia Tao owed him hundreds of thousands of dollars and didn't pay it back, "Boss, we know that you have black hands, but there must also be a limit to black hands! Three eighth-level spirit beasts? Why didn't the competition committee simply tie us to the pillar and complete the task if we survived?"

The others were also dead, not to mention how terrifying the strength of the eighth-level spirit beast was, its rarity alone was enough to give the team members a headache.

Level 8, the organizing committee really dares to say!

Search the entire country A, can you find three eighth-level spirit beasts?

If you don't have a time limit to grind slowly, the whole world is running around, and there may still be a slight possibility of completing the task, but this is a knockout system, and only the top ten teams that complete the task are eligible to participate in the finals!

Except for Nie Tian, who was still calm, the rest of the team members were all depressed, as if they would be eliminated in the next second.

"Yo, isn't this Jia Tao, Huaxia is finally willing to let you compete?" Suddenly, a strange voice of yin and yang sounded at the entrance of the dormitory.

Looking up, a short man was standing at the door, his chin held high, looking at Jia Tao defiantly.

"Boss, do you know?" asked the gold ingot.

"Hattori Ichiro, the fourth layer of the Grandmaster Realm, the leader of the Spike Squad. Jia Tao succinctly introduced the man's identity, walked to the door and said with a cold face, "What are you doing here?"

As soon as they heard that it was the people from the Spike Squad of Country R, everyone's faces turned dark all of a sudden, and it was obviously impossible for the young martial artists of Huaxia to have any good impression of the people of Country R.

"It's rare that I'm kind enough to come to see you, why are you so rude?" Hattori Ichiro sneered, "Is this the hospitality of the Chinese people?"

There was a restlessness in the dormitory, and Shang Dongfang and Le Shuo, who had the most explosive tempers, were about to have a seizure at the moment, but they were stopped by Fan Liyou reaching out.

Private fights before the tournament are absolutely forbidden, and once discovered, they will be disqualified from the competition, and this Hattori Ichiro chose to provoke them at such a time, obviously not with any good intentions.

And as the captain of the Spike Squad, Hattori Ichiro not only cultivates on par with Jia Tao, but also has no less actual combat experience, and there will definitely be a lot of movement in a real fight.

"Leave it to the captain. Fan Liyou said in a low voice.

Shang Dongfang and Le Shuo snorted indignantly, but they also knew that they had to focus on the overall situation, so they reluctantly turned their heads and didn't look at the door.

Nie Tian didn't react from beginning to end, and he didn't even give this Hattori Ichiro a look, but sat cross-legged on the bed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hattori Ichiro regarded Fan Liyou's action as a concession, and became even more arrogant: "I said Jia Tao, are you Huaxia people so rude, and you don't greet your predecessors who are higher than yourself?

"You!" Le Shuo was about to blow up again, but was stopped by Fan Liyou in time.

"Calm down!" Fan Liyou persuaded in a low voice, "Don't worry, Jia Tao won't let him continue to be arrogant." ”

Just a second when Hattori Ichiro spoke, he clearly saw the corners of Jia Tao's mouth turned up for a moment, which showed that the other party already had a plan.

Sure enough, under the incredulous gaze of everyone, Jia Tao first patted Ichiro Hattori's shoulder, made a sympathetic but understanding expression, and then turned around and said solemnly: "All attention, send Mr. Ichiro Hattori and the Spike Squad back home!"

Everyone was stunned, only Shang Dongfang reacted quickly, instantly hung up a smile, and bowed to Hattori Ichiro with a smile: "Sending off the seniors to return to China, I wish you a smooth journey!"

"Wait!" Hattori Ichiro's face darkened, "Jia Tao, what do you mean by this, I need a reasonable explanation!"

Jia Tao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Could it be that there is something wrong with my ears? Didn't you ask my subordinates to salute you, didn't you express your intention to quit?"

At this time, other people also reacted to Jia Tao's meaning, and put on regretful and serious expressions, expressing their regret for the Spike Squad's "withdrawal from the competition".

"Jia Tao, you have to give me a reasonable explanation, you and your subordinates are questioning my country's qualifications, if I don't get a reasonable explanation and apology, I will report to my diplomats and lodge a strong protest to your country!" Hattori Ichiro's face was completely dark, his chin was raised high, and he tried his best to show a strong position, but his height of one meter and six looks like a clown in front of Jia Tao, who is more than one meter and eight meters.

"Hey, did I misunderstand what you meant?" Jia Tao squeezed his eyes at the team members and asked pretending to be puzzled, "The competition committee clearly stipulates that contestants are not allowed to cancel all positions and qualifications, so as to show that they are treated equally. ”

"As a fellow contestant, there is no need for my subordinates to salute you at all, of course, the honorable Mr. Hattori will not forget this rule, so there is only one explanation, you and your subordinates have decided to withdraw from the competition and return to China, and we need to express our respect for non-contestants commensurate with your position, right?"

Hattori Ichiro was stunned, he just came to trouble Jia Tao, and by the way, he casually found a reason to deal with these Chinese people.

He and Jia Tao have known each other for a long time, so they know that the other party's cultivation is the same as his own, since Jia Tao is the captain, then the cultivation of other people must be lower than him, so he temporarily wanted to be happy.

For the hierarchical R people, no matter what the occasion is, whether they have identified themselves or not, it is extremely normal to nod and bow to their superiors and elders, and under the habitual thinking of Hattori Ichiro, he really forgot the rules of the competition committee.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Jia Tao suddenly lowered his face and said seriously: "Looking at Mr. Hattori's reaction, don't you have any intention of quitting?"

Of course not!

Hattori Ichiro almost blurted out, and although he swallowed it back in time, his angry expression still revealed his mental activity.

"That's very strange, since you have no intention of giving up the competition, in what capacity does Mr. Hattori ask my subordinates to pay tribute to you?" Jia Tao said gloomily, "Mr. Hattori, I have to reasonably suspect that you were instructed by your diplomats to express your provocation to my Chinese martial arts community!"

A big hat was buttoned down, and Hattori Ichiro's face instantly turned pale.

“…… Okay, Jia Tao, count you ruthless. In the end, under the angry eyes of a room of people, Hattori Ichiro couldn't say anything more ruthless after all, so he could only leave in a hurry.

After Hattori's figure disappeared from sight, everyone looked at each other for a long time, and finally burst into laughter.

"Tsk, with that bit of IQ, where did he get the confidence to make us ugly?" Leshuo sarcastically unceremoniously, "The boss is too easy to talk, change me, and definitely make him suspicious!"

Shang Dongfang didn't care about this: "Captain, what kind of enemy Ichiro has a grudge against you? Why does it seem that he is specifically coming at you?"

Jia Tao shrugged: "That's right, the old enemy." ”

It turns out that this Hattori Ichiro was originally an elite cultivated by the official martial arts association of country R, and he broke through to the Jindan period at a young age, plus he can be regarded as a young man with a bit of a background, and he is regarded as a promising young man in the martial arts world of country R, and he is very likely to participate in the competition at the top of the association.

But on the way to a mission, Hattori Ichiro, who was still the third layer of the Grandmaster Realm at the time, led the team and happened to meet Jia Tao who was performing the opposite task, Jia Tao had already broken through to the peak of the fourth layer at that time, and Hattori Ichiro and his subordinates were certainly not Jia Tao's opponents.

However, Hattori Ichiro was eager to make meritorious contributions, believing that the enemy was only Jia Tao, and his subordinates had dozens of people, and they could complete the task even with crowd tactics, so he insisted on vetoing the suggestion of his subordinates to retreat.

The result, of course, ended in the defeat of Hattori Ichiro, who was not only seriously wounded, but also wiped out the elite squad of twenty people under his command, and even if he escaped with his life, the charge of defeat was still detained on his head.

Since then, Hattori Ichiro's status in the general association has plummeted, and the backstage that originally appreciated him has become cold, and he was supposed to be promoted after that mission, but he was postponed for three years, until Hattori Ichiro broke through to the fourth layer, and the military gave him a position as a middle-level manager of the Martial Arts Association.

However, the snub has not changed, and this time leading the team to participate in the competition will always give Hattori Ichiro the last chance, and if he can't hand in a satisfactory answer, he will be completely marginalized in the martial arts world.
