Chapter 157: The Soul Fighting Team Wins the First Round

Zhou Yu was also quite curious.

"Play the video!"

The large LED screen began playing a viral remix video. In the video, a monk and an old abbot were chasing each other.

The monk said, "Old abbot, such a refreshing and breezy day!"

The old abbot replied, "Indeed, young man. Morning exercise is beneficial for cultivating one's inner elixir."

The monk continued, "Senior, you have the hair of a crane and the face of a child, moving as swiftly as if flying, yet your breathing remains calm and composed. Your cultivation has reached the pinnacle. May I ask how many years you have been practicing?"

The old abbot answered, "Time waits for no one; in the blink of an eye, two hundred years have passed. And you, young man?"

The monk said, "Me? I am ashamed to say I have only been practicing for over twenty years. Unlike you, Abbot, who can deceive the heavens and pass off fish eyes as pearls—I can tell at a glance that you are not human!"

The scene shifted to another clip.

The monk shouted, "Hmph! Such petty tricks, daring to show off before an expert! Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon!"

"Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon, Great Law Mantra, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Pama Hum!"

The video ended. Zhou Yu looked distressed. "Is it really this hard?"

"Hahaha!"

"Honk, honk!"

The audience let out peals of laughter, and the guests, including Jiang Yun, joined in.

Zhou Yu's mind raced, searching for a strategy. It was impossible to replicate everything perfectly, so he could only commit a few memorable lines to memory.

The partition next to Zhou Yu opened.

Zhou Yu looked at Li Jun and said, "Listen carefully: Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon, Great Law Mantra, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Pama Hum. Kasaya, retract!"

"Great? @%*$, gibberish, Kasaya, retract?" Li Jun stared at Zhou Yu, completely bewildered, muttering nonsense.

"Sigh!" Zhou Yu sighed and rubbed his forehead. What was he supposed to do?

Zhou Yu repeated it again: "Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon, Great Law Mantra, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Pama Hum. Kasaya, retract!"

"Great? Majestic? *@%, gibberish, Kasaya, retract?"

"Hahaha!"

"Honk, honk!"

The crowd roared with laughter.

"Alright, time's up!" Shen Lang prompted.

The partition slowly closed.

"*@$...," Li Jun kept muttering to himself, his mouth full of gibberish.

Li Jun knocked on the door of Ren Xing's partition. It slowly opened, and Ren Xing took off his headphones, asking curiously with a smile, "What is it? Quick, tell me!"

"Great! %*$, gibberish, Kasaya, retract!" Li Jun mumbled.

Ren Xing’s eye twitched. "Kasaya, retract?"

"Yes! Good!" Li Jun gave a thumbs up.

"Phew!" Ren Xing took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to curse. He turned and knocked on the next partition. It opened to reveal Li Hong, who was dancing to the music.

Li Hong was startled and took off her headphones.

Ren Xing began his performance, his mouth full of gibberish: "@$*%, Kasaya, retract!"

Li Hong hesitated, then repeated, "@$*%, Kasaya, retract?"

"Yes! Good!" Ren Xing gave a thumbs up.

"Good!"

"Good!" Ren Xing sighed; this game was impossible to play.

Li Hong turned around and knocked on Shen Luo’s partition. It slowly opened.

Shen Luo took off his headphones: "What’s the phrase? Tell me!"

"@$*%, Kasaya, retract!" Li Hong blurted out.

Shen Luo looked confused. "What on earth is that?!"

"Come on, say it again!" Shen Luo urged.

"%@*, gibberish, Kasaya, retract!"

"Listen to yourself, listen! You said it differently both times!"

Li Hong offered an awkward but polite smile.

Shen Luo rubbed his temples. "I just want some peace and quiet!"

"Beep!" The whistle blew. "Time's up!"

Shen Lang stepped onto the stage. "Welcome our two foreign friends; you may go and rest now!"

"Shen Luo, guess as best you can. Don't be afraid to get it wrong!" Shen Lang said.

Shen Luo rubbed his temples. "I want some peace and quiet!"

"Time's up! Shen Luo, please give your answer!"

"Whew!" Shen Luo took a deep breath. "Kasaya, retract!"

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

"Very well, congratulations to the Douma Team for getting three characters correct!"

"Huh?" The members of the Douma Team sighed in disappointment.

"Alright! Next, let’s invite the Douhun Team."

Guan Tong, acting like a big sister, said, "Big Brother Xiao Zhan, Xiao Feng, and Zhang Shan, you three go!"

"Got it!" The three walked onto the stage.

"Big Brother Xiao Zhan, you go first, Zhang Feng third, and I'll go last," Zhang Shan suggested.

"Agreed!" Xiao Zhan and Zhang Feng nodded.

Shen Lang held the microphone. "Let’s welcome our two foreign friends!"

Two blue-eyed, blond men walked onto the stage.

"Introduce yourselves!"

The taller one said, "Hello everyone, my name is Wang Li!"

"Welcome our Wang Li!"

"Clap, clap, clap!" The audience applauded enthusiastically.

The shorter one stepped forward. "My name is Ma Li!"

"Whoa! Same names! Let's give them a round of applause!"

"Clap, clap, clap!" Everyone cheered.

"Wang Li, please take the second position, and Ma Li, the fourth!"

"Ready! Begin!"

Xiao Zhan watched the video. In it, a woman shouted, "Open the door! Open the door! Open, open, open the door!"

"Fu Wenpei! Fu Wenpei! Stop hiding inside and staying silent!"

"I know you're at home. If you have the nerve to steal a man, why don't you have the nerve to open the door!"

"Hahaha!"

"Honk, honk!"

The crowd laughed uproariously.

At the guest table, Jiang Yun and Shen Luo whispered to each other.

"His is simple; it only has one person's lines!"

"True!" Jiang Yun nodded in agreement.

Xiao Zhan took a deep breath and knocked on the partition. It opened to reveal Wang Li.

Xiao Zhan performed: "Open the door! Open the door! If you have the nerve to steal a man, why don't you have the nerve to open the door!"

"Open the door! Open the door! If you have the nerve to steal a man, why don't you have the nerve to open the door!" Wang Li recited with great effort.

Xiao Zhan gave a thumbs up. "Yes! Good!"

Wang Li passed it to the next person. Zhang Feng took off his headphones.

"Open the door! Open the door! If you have the nerve to steal a man, why don't you have the nerve to open the door!"

"Wow!" The audience exclaimed in admiration.

Zhang Feng made an 'OK' gesture, indicating no problem. He passed it on: "Open the door! Open the door! If you have the nerve to steal a man, why don't you have the nerve to open the door!"

Ma Li repeated it: "Open the door! Open the door! If you have the nerve to steal a man, why don't you have the nerve to open the door!"

"Yes!" Zhang Feng signaled success.

Ma Li passed it to the final person, successfully relaying the phrase.

"Beep!" The whistle blew.

"Alright, time's up!" Shen Lang walked onto the stage. "Thank you to our two foreign friends; you may go and rest!"

"Zhang Shan, tell everyone what the answer is." Shen Lang handed the microphone to Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan said, "Open the door! Open the door! If you have the nerve to steal a man, why don't you have the nerve to open the door!"

"Yes!" Zhang Feng was thrilled.

"Huh? How is that possible?" Zheng Ling of the Douma Team looked distressed. "Why are their friends so helpful, and ours aren't helpful at all!"

On stage, Shen Lang said, "Let’s congratulate the Douhun Team for getting twenty-one characters correct. The Douhun Team won both rounds, so, for the first challenge, the Douhun Team is the winner!"

"Aw, no way!" The girls of the Douma Team, including Zheng Ling, sighed in frustration.
