"The second one."

In the center of the Yunying Mountains, Shi Yu and Baby Ginseng sat quietly on a giant rock.

Su Su solved one, and Wormy solved one, great.

"A few more, please."

Shi Yu was enjoying his leisure time.

His leisure and his smile, falling into the eyes of the audience, made him look like a complete devil.

"Another, another, another one!"

"The beast dispatched by contestant Shi Yu has eliminated another contestant!"

"This is Donghuang Broadcasting Television Station, currently broadcasting live the personal preliminary matches of the National Competition. The beasts of contestant Shi Yu are simply incredible. How can a butterfly-type creature, so fragile in body, kill a physically strong dragon-type with a single blow relying solely on its flesh?"

"Even if it's a Overlord race, this is..."

The national audience was numb.

Especially those beast tamers who cultivated the butterfly evolved form of the Azure Silk Butterfly.

They summoned their own butterflies and pinched their "breakable" skin, speechless for a while.

[Butterflies: Are you being polite???]

"Wooh!"

The encounter between the Dream Weaving Butterfly and Chu Yi'ang, a contestant from Capital University, exhilarated the teachers and students of Lingshui University.

The captain of Lingshui University, Li Qiu, who returned to the audience seat, looked dazed, feeling like he had seen this scene before.

Only the teachers and students of Capital University looked miserable.

They knew that this representative beast, contracted by Shi Yu early on, couldn't possibly be weak.

However, Chu Yi'ang being instantly defeated without any resistance made them sad.

At least resist a little!

If they had managed to exchange a few blows, Capital University wouldn't have been so embarrassed. After all, everyone knew that Shi Yu was strong and had been in the top 100 of the Sequence Contest.

But... controlling a dragon-type beast that was smashed with a single flap of a butterfly's wing, what was that?

Even if it was an avatar, it was an avatar with 100% of the main body's strength. Besides, the main body didn't perform much better, being smashed down by someone's mind power across tens of thousands of meters... killed by a low-level mental skill.

Embarrassing!

Only Shi Yu, Gem Cat, and a few others knew that this... was completely normal.

Chu Yi'ang didn't have the strengthening talent. His Thunder Crowned Winged Dragon, in terms of energy value, was even less than 2 million, being crushed several times over by Wormy. In addition, it was just a pseudo-dragon, so even if its physique was strong, compared to Wormy's perfect dragon physique that had absorbed the advantages of a demigod-level Dragon God's body, it was simply showing off one's limited skills before an expert.

This time, the two commentators, Gu Yu and Han Lu, had also learned to be smarter, directly asking the three big shots on the stage to explain this outrageous phenomenon again.

After a moment of silence, Chairman Xia said, "That's why I said contestant Shi Yu is a genius."

"Everyone knows that Dr. Zuo successfully allowed the Azure Silk Butterfly to obtain the bloodline of the Phoenix clan during the evolution process, evolving into an Ice Phoenix Moth with Phoenix characteristics."

"In fact, everyone should have heard about the celestial phenomena that occurred when contestant Shi Yu's Azure Silk Butterfly evolved at the Butterfly Transformation Assembly. At that time, a Divine Dragon appeared."

"So I guess that contestant Shi Yu's Dream Weaving Butterfly may have used dragon-type resources to strengthen its physique during evolution, and it succeeded!"

"Dragon blood, dragon pearls, are resources that can strengthen other life forms. To allow the Azure Silk Butterfly to absorb these resources so perfectly during evolution, he truly deserves to be called a genius researcher who can research the Azure Silk Butterfly cocoon evolution chain..."

Chairman Xia gave a weak explanation, but it was the only explanation.

Everyone recognized and understood what he said, and also knew it was the truth.

Everyone had naturally seen the situation at the Butterfly Transformation Assembly.

However, the problem now was that Shi Yu's Dream Weaving Butterfly was no longer just simply having its physique improved by dragon-type resources!

It, it freakin' killed a quasi-Overlord race dragon-type that was using a high-level dragon-type skill without using any skills!!!

Even a high-level Overlord race Divine Dragon couldn't do that!

If dragon-type resources were so awesome, their prices wouldn't still be suppressed by time and space types. Moreover, this Dream Weaving Butterfly was of the mental and space types.

What kind of resource could strengthen it so outrageously?

"Wuwuwu my dragon pearl, dragon pearl my dragon pearl." Chairman Xia inadvertently rubbed salt into the wound. Upon hearing this, Gem Cat in the audience seat of Gudu University immediately covered its face with its paw and silently shed tears, tears streaming down its face. This, this, this was the Dragon God's dragon pearl!!!

After Shi Yu learned about the origin of the dragon pearl from Sea Dragon King, he didn't hide it and generously told Gem Cat. This revelation was like adding insult to injury, almost causing Gem Cat to have a myocardial infarction and die on the spot.

If it had known earlier that the dragon pearl with the lost energy was the dragon pearl of the Mirage Dragon God of Dragon Palace City countless years ago, it would have signed a "centennial food supply contract" with Shi Yu and Baby Ginseng before giving it to Shi Yu, instead of being fooled by Shi Yu with a few broken fruits made by Baby Ginseng at the commander level.

"Teacher Ying, are you feeling unwell?" Lin Xiuzhu asked when she saw Gem Cat suddenly change color and twitch.

"I... I'm just crying with joy, I'm happy to see Wormy so powerful."

"I'm also happy." Lin Xiuzhu's beautiful eyes sparkled. The Iron Eating Beast and Azure Silk Butterfly combo should increase in price again!

Just then.

The commentators Gu Yu and Han Lu suddenly "eh"-ed!!!

"Look quickly."

"Gao Xuan, the captain of Imperial Capital University, is also heading in the direction of Shi Yu and the others."

"The distance between Gao Xuan and Shi Yu is much farther than the distance between contestant Li Qiu, contestant Chu Yi'ang, and contestant Shi Yu."

"Just now, contestant Gao Xuan also easily hunted a Monarch-level ferocious beast with thunderous speed. After that, he seemed to have suddenly discovered something and immediately locked onto contestant Shi Yu's direction!!!"

Currently, apart from those related to Shi Yu, the other contestants had not yet met, let alone done anything as strenuous and unrewarding as hunting Monarch-level ferocious beasts so quickly.

Only Gao Xuan had hunted a Tiger King in a forest.

In the picture, Gao Xuan was riding in the huge Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast, a giant silver mecha flying in the sky. While passing through a forest, the Thousand Rock Tiger King, a Monarch-level beast, regarded them as invaders and attacked.

"Roar!!" This king of beasts, standing on a thousand rocks, had a ferocious body like a rock, and its attacks were like flying blades of rocks all over the sky.

"Take care of it." Gao Xuan and his team had very strong strength, just like Shi Yu, and didn't have to worry about the consumption of energy after being targeted by a Monarch-level ferocious beast.

Buzz~

Facing the Thousand Rock Tiger King's rock flying blades, crystal-like transparent protective walls automatically appeared on the outer wall of the huge Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast mecha. After annihilating and absorbing all the flying rocks in an instant, the Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast slowly raised its mechanical palm. The next moment, green flying dragon energy condensed!

Boom!!

"Roar!!!" The energy fluctuation turned into a lifelike green flying dragon, instantly devouring the Thousand Rock Tiger King at an incredibly fast speed. The aftermath of the move destroyed a large area of the mountain into ruins. The Thousand Rock Tiger King was naturally killed without any surprises.

After that, an unexpected change occurred. Just after solving the Thousand Rock Tiger King, the Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast suddenly raised its head, quickly ascended into the air, and looked into the distance.

At this time, the fragrance hadn't spread here yet, and the thunder in the distance couldn't be heard here, as it couldn't travel that far. However, because the Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast was a Monarch-level mechanical pet, the top-tier Monarch-level mechanical pet, it had a stronger detection system. Its sensitivity to all changes was even stronger than Shi Yu's beasts who had mastered superb clairvoyance.

"This is—"

"Now, contestant Gao Xuan seems to be flying in the direction of contestant Shi Yu. Did he sense something? I'm suddenly a little excited. Will the two contestants with the highest calls for winning this National Competition meet so early?"

"What will be the result after they meet?"

[Damn, Gao Xuan is heading for Shi Yu?]

[Are the two big shots going to love and kill each other so soon?]

[Who will win? Who will win!!]

[If it were before, I would bet on Captain Gao, but now... I feel like it will be a fierce battle, hard to say.]

"A year ago, contestant Gao Xuan's Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast was able to dominate the National Competition with absolute advantage."

"It is said that he has prepared other secret trump cards to prepare for this National Competition!"

"And contestant Shi Yu is undoubtedly the super dark horse of the National Competition. Before the ranking of the Sequence Contest was announced, before the start of this National Competition, no one could have imagined that contestant Shi Yu, who had just entered university, could so strongly enter this highest stage of the National Competition."

"However, I'm actually a little worried at this time." Commentator Gu Yu said, "Currently, contestant Shi Yu's pets are very scattered. In this situation, if they encounter contestant Gao Xuan, will it have some adverse effects on contestant Shi Yu?"

The commentator's words made sense.

Everyone analyzed the current situation.

Currently, Shi Yu has a total of five pets, and only Baby Ginseng is by his side.

The distance between the other four and Shi Yu is almost getting farther and farther.

In this situation, no matter which direction Gao Xuan comes from, Shi Yu is at a great disadvantage.

[Shi Yu is probably planning to send out four pets to guard all directions, defeating all the attracted 'bonuses' to pursue efficiency.]

[Judging from the performance of the Iron Eating Beast, Water Slime, and Dream Weaving Butterfly, I think it's possible... of course, provided they don't encounter Captain Gao.]

[OMG, Shi Yu chose to do this. Isn't he worried that one of his pets will encounter Captain Gao alone, or that a fish that slips through the net will break through and kill him and Baby Ginseng? Speaking of which, the defensive power around Shi Yu seems a bit weak now.]

Everyone looked at Shi Yu, who was sitting alone on the rock with Baby Ginseng, on the screen, and expressed their opinions.

As if to respond to the expectations of countless viewers, suddenly, the two commentators discovered the abnormality of other contestants again!

"Shi Zhuo, a contestant from Imperial Capital University, has disappeared from the screen!!!" Commentator Han Lu said in surprise.

"Contestant Shi Zhuo is also one of the contestants who is relatively close to contestant Shi Yu. After sensing the movement just now, he was also moving in the direction of contestant Shi Yu, but suddenly, he seems to have lost track!"

"Let's take a look at the replay."

In the picture.

A dark-skinned young man was riding on a giant snake that was more than ten meters long, moving on the ground.

This giant snake was silver-white all over, like metal, with reddish-brown pupils. Its appearance was extremely ferocious.

The young man stood on its head, heading towards the direction where the fragrance was spreading together.

"Roar!!" This giant snake, like the Cyclone Sparrow and Thunder Crowned Winged Dragon just now, had lost its mind and was very agitated, attracted by the sweet scent.

And the young man seemed to have the idea of going to the scene to find out what was going on. Compared to the other two, he was more indifferent, because he had the confidence to "escape successfully" even when facing Gao Xuan.

"It's Shi Zhuo from Imperial Capital University and his Steel Rock Snake!!!"

Seeing this person, the teachers and students of other universities were immediately stunned.

In the past two years, the level of beast tamers at Imperial Capital University has actually been above Capital University. But unfortunately, Capital University had Gao Xuan, such a cheat, so even though the level of students at other levels was better than that of Capital University, they failed to win the championship in the past National Competitions.

This year, the quality of students at Imperial Capital University is still good. This Shi Zhuo is one of the leading figures among the master-level contestants at Imperial Capital University.

Of course, compared to Gao Xuan from Capital University, there is definitely still a certain gap. After all, his ranking in the Sequence Contest, like other master-level contestants from other universities, was outside the hundreds, suffering from the disadvantage of being young.

"Getting closer and closer, Steel Rock Snake, Earth Tunnel."

"Roar!!"

In the picture, with Shi Zhuo's order, Shi Zhuo's body was suddenly wrapped in a layer of crystal stone, and then his entire body flowed into the Steel Rock Snake's body like liquid metal. Then, the incomparably huge Steel Rock Snake suddenly plunged into the ground!!

Rumble.

In the blink of an eye, accompanied by a huge hole, the Steel Rock Snake and Shi Zhuo disappeared from everyone's sight, entering the ground through the Earth Tunnel skill, intending to go to the scene and see what was happening in this way.

The Earth Tunnel skill at the superb level was the reason why Shi Zhuo believed that Gao Xuan couldn't keep him. As long as he ran fast enough, unless the other party bombed the entire island, with the obstruction of the earth, the other party might not be able to catch them!

In the ground, the Steel Rock Snake's movement speed was comparable to that of wind-type pets flying in the sky and water-type pets swimming in the water, belonging to the racial bonus!

[Name]: Steel Rock Snake

[Attribute]: Metal, Earth

[Race Level]: High-level Monarch (Quasi-Overlord)

[Growth Level]: Monarch Level

[Introduction]: A special elemental life form living in the depths of the earth. It is the king of the earth. The body, tempered by high pressure and heat underground, is harder than any metal, and it is extremely powerful. Turning over can cause strong earthquakes and easily destroy a town.

"Oh oh oh oh!! It turns out that contestant Shi Zhuo chose to have the Steel Rock Snake use the Earth Tunnel skill to secretly approach the location of the movement."

"Although we can't see the location of contestant Shi Zhuo now, through the mark of the Eye of Stars, everyone can judge their location through the 'yellow dot' on the big map."

"Wait a minute, the location of contestant Shi Zhuo at this time... Heavens, the four pets sent out by contestant Shi Yu don't seem to have discovered the Steel Rock Snake in the depths of the ground. They are now closer to contestant Shi Yu's location than the four pets sent out by contestant Shi Yu!!"

"Interesting things are about to happen. Although contestant Shi Yu eliminated two contestants before, neither of these two had seen Shi Yu himself. This time, is contestant Shi Zhuo going to be the first contestant to truly contact and encounter Shi Yu!!"

With the broadcast of this picture, the East Sea Arena immediately boiled!

The first thought in countless people's minds was that Shi Yu had gone too far!! He had crashed!

Even if Shi Yu's four pets had good reconnaissance abilities, how could they be comprehensive.

See, Shi Zhuo and the Steel Rock Snake directly broke through the four main forces and were about to snipe the beast tamer himself.

"Good opportunity!!!" The teachers and students of Imperial Capital University had a more arrogant heart than the students of Lingshui and Capital University.

After all, from the strength of the school to the strength of the contestants, they were not at the same level.

Although it was said that in a fair battle, Shi Yu's strength was definitely better, but now it was not a fair battle in the arena, but a field battle.

If it was a sneak attack from the ground... judging from the current combination of Shi Yu and Baby Ginseng, perhaps Shi Zhuo could really eliminate this monster who had caused a huge sensation just now!!

If that was the case, then Imperial Capital University would be a big hit. Even if no one could win the national championship in the end, the prestige of Imperial Capital University would be completely established.

"Not good!"

Unlike the Imperial Capital University, the teachers and students on Gudu University's side began to get a little nervous.

"Don't, don't panic, that Baby Ginseng is not simple either..."

However, there were also teachers and students in Gudu University who had seen Baby Ginseng's battle, but even so, they were still a little worried.

After all, the fighting style of that Baby Ginseng seemed to be "Ginseng Beam Light Cannon" and "Bomb Fruit"?

Judging from these two fighting styles, if this Baby Ginseng was also at the Monarch level, and with the weird sweet scent, it might be able to fight the opponent head-on, but the opponent was now a sneak attack!!!

They directly crossed the defense line of Shi Yu's other pets and came over without anyone knowing, this was not a head-on battle!

Therefore, it was reasonable for the teachers and students of Gudu University to be a little nervous.

[It's over, it's over, Shi Yu is going to crash.]

[It's good to crash, it's outrageous to send all the combat power out and leave only one tonic by his side, I expected this scene a long time ago.]

As the "yellow dot" on the map got closer and closer to Shi Yu, many viewers held their breaths.

Damn, what's going to happen next?

Everyone looked at Shi Yu and Baby Ginseng, who were still sitting on the giant rock, resting and releasing sweet scent, and were nervous and their hearts were beating faster.

"I know this Shi Zhuo, his Steel Rock Snake is indeed not bad, especially in terms of Earth Tunnel. With some other skills, he can complete some special tactics without letting anyone find out. Although they are underground, they should know the situation on the ground like the back of their hands."

On the stage, even Chairman Xia, who had praised Shi Yu twice just now, became slightly serious at this time.

"There's a good show to watch..." Director Zhong Yan also laughed. He liked seeing this kind of non-head-on encounter. This was the charm of field battles.

"I always feel like... it's that Shi what who's going to be in danger..." Legend Xiao Shuang was silent.

Combining Baby Ginseng's record of crushing two Overlords, plus the performance of the sweet scent just now, and... because she had a mental connection with the Eye of Stars, she knew very well that among Shi Yu's pets, this Baby Ginseng had the strongest energy fluctuation!

What will happen next...

"Donghuang Broadcasting Television Station, Donghuang Broadcasting Television Station, now, the two sides are getting closer and closer... Next, double..."

Commentator Gu Yu was talking when suddenly, his expression froze, because in the picture, Shi Yu and Baby Ginseng, who had been still and maintained a posture, suddenly changed their actions!

Deep in the Yunying Mountains, Shi Yu moved his shoulders slightly and stood up on the rock, stretching.

"Someone is coming from underground."

"Iya!! (Yes, they are.)" Baby Ginseng, who was releasing sweet scent, said.

"Iya! (They are so unreliable!)" Baby Ginseng patted its chest. At the critical moment, it still had to rely on its Ginseng Heavenly Brother!

"I did think of this possibility at the beginning, but I didn't expect these contestants to be so showy." Shi Yu said.

Eleven, Chi Tong, Wormy, and Su Su might not have noticed.

But it wasn't a big problem, Baby Ginseng was different. Its perception of the earth was more profound.

The reason was simple, it had the superb earth-type skill Hardening, and the earth-type racial skill Earth Chain at the peak of perfection. Combined with its clairvoyance, its perception of the underground situation was something that Eleven and the others couldn't compare to.

Let them come over... Shi Yu thought about whether he should play with them.

In fact, Shi Yu wasn't very worried about his safety.

At this time, he was wearing a water droplet pendant around his neck. This water droplet was the full-level Guardian Water made by Su Su. With this, he wasn't afraid of sneak attacks at all. Unless it was an Overlord-level attack, he couldn't be broken. Shi Yu had already tested it.

And this was just one of the many strange equipment on Shi Yu. Although the equipment he brought was compliant with the rules, because these equipment were self-produced and self-used, they were definitely more ferocious than the equipment of other contestants who were fully armed. It could even give Shi Yu the confidence to fight weaker Monarch-level ferocious beasts alone.

Moreover, he didn't need to face it himself at all. Wasn't Baby Ginseng here? If the previous team competition wasn't held on the glacier but here, where the earth and grass were full of natural energy, Baby Ginseng might not have been able to beat Eleven and Wormy.

Here, some of its combo skills could be better played...

"Forget it, Baby Ginseng, I'll leave it to you." In the end, Shi Yu chose to say.

Hearing this order, Baby Ginseng nodded, and then looked slightly into the distance, at the ground.

Shi Yu also looked in that direction.

This look immediately allowed the Eye of Stars to capture a close-up, and also allowed countless viewers to discover the abnormality of Shi Yu and the others!

[Damn, damn, damn, did Shi Yu and the others look underground just now?]

[Has Shi Zhuo been discovered?]

[I don't know, but even if he was discovered, Shi Yu shouldn't be able to lock onto the other party now and can't attack the other party, right.]

"Just now, contestant Shi Yu, seemed to look at the ground with Baby Ginseng!!!"

"Could it be that contestant Shi Zhuo has been exposed?"

"It is said that contestant Shi Zhuo's Steel Rock Snake has trained the Earth Tunnel skill to the superb level. It can perfectly integrate with the earth and is almost difficult to be discovered. Contestant Shi Zhuo has even relied on this trick to kill a Monarch-level ferocious beast in the territory of an Overlord-level creature and retreat safely. Therefore, in theory, their actions are very secretive."

The two commentators also immediately followed the abnormality and introduced Shi Zhuo's record to everyone.

However, no matter how much they milked it, being discovered was being discovered. Soon, in the picture, Baby Ginseng stopped releasing sweet scent, and its green eyes looked deeply at the earth.

Then, it gently jumped off the rock, bent down, and pressed its palm to the ground!

Combo skill, Earthly Fiend!

Rumble.

The next moment, a scene that silenced all the viewers appeared.

As Baby Ginseng pressed its palm to the ground, suddenly, with it as the center, the surrounding earth began to vibrate violently.

With a "boom", in the picture, the ground behind Shi Yu and Baby Ginseng cracked, and a wooden giant statue grew out.

Then, a dark brown substance swept over the wooden giant statue, and its volume was still increasing and enlarging crazily.

In just two seconds, accompanied by amazing changes, the wooden giant statue born behind Shi Yu and Baby Ginseng expanded to a height of a hundred meters, and limbs and a head began to extend from its body, becoming a majestic dark brown hundred-meter giant statue!

The huge wooden idol, its height made it the focus of the entire screen.

The super combo skill of Earth Chain + Hardening + Plant Control + Lushness, the Earthly Fiend that could maintain its activity by absorbing the power of the earth appeared!!!

Many people's expressions were dull.

What the hell is this!!!

What did that Baby Ginseng... do!!!

Countless people shouted in their hearts.

The recognition-defying contrast between Baby Ginseng's small body and the huge wooden idol.

At the same time, at the scene.

Deep underground.

Shi Zhuo was carefully controlling the Steel Rock Snake to move forward, but the next moment, their expressions suddenly changed, feeling the drastic changes on the ground.

They felt a little dangerous.

But at this time, it was too late. A superb level of deterrence directly penetrated the earth, piercing into the depths of the ground, causing the Steel Rock Snake's eyes to suddenly shrink, deterring it on the spot.

The next moment, the ground vibrated even more violently.

From the audience's perspective, in the picture, after summoning the Earthly Fiend, Baby Ginseng resumed its standing posture, and then gently flipped its palm.

With this flip, the Earthly Fiend also moved, and its huge arm... quickly fell, and the palm directly penetrated into the earth.

The entire palm was like five mountain peaks, huge and boundless, enveloping everything, covering everything. Then, it touched the earth. At this moment, the earth collapsed, and countless rocks and dust flew. The hard earth was like soft mud to the giant hand of this Earthly Fiend. Accompanied by the sound of "rumbling", after a while, everyone opened their mouths in shock!

Boom!!!

Baby Ginseng flipped its hand and crushed the avenue!

Even if they were not at the scene, everyone seemed to be able to personally experience the tragic scene at that time.

This, this freaking...

The picture was blurred for a while, and smoke lingered.

When people could see more clearly, they saw that in the picture, the Earthly Fiend behind Shi Yu and Baby Ginseng was still in a god-like posture.

And its arm and palm had already stretched out from the earth. Besides... unlike when it penetrated into the earth, the Earthly Fiend's palm was holding a huge snake that was incomparably large and looked terrified!!!

"Roar!!!"

The Steel Rock Snake's entire body was controlled, struggling desperately, but it was useless. Its power was completely crushed!!

At this time, there was also a figure, with a pale face, coming out of the Steel Rock Snake's body. After he came out, he opened his mouth wide, looking in shock at the hundred-meter Earthly Fiend in front of him, looking in shock at Shi Yu, who was not far away with his arms crossed, and Baby Ginseng with its arms crossed, falling into endless confusion.

His mentality directly exploded.

Who am I, where am I, what is the situation here, what happened...

This was indeed the first contestant to encounter Shi Yu, but tragically, he was suppressed before he saw Shi Yu...

Outside.

Countless viewers once again opened their mouths wide, watching this scene in disbelief. The teachers and students of Imperial Capital University stood up together with dull eyes, saying "damn" repeatedly, losing their ability to think!

The teachers and students of Gudu and Capital University only felt that this Baby Ginseng was more terrifying and frightening than they had imagined. The online onlookers, the two commentators, were all extremely shocked at this moment, and their view of strength was shattered again.

Don't tell them... that this was created by that Baby Ginseng, is this freaking, Baby Ginseng???

When Shi Zhuo came over, many people were sweating for Shi Yu. At this moment, they looked at the Steel Rock Snake that was being pinched and unable to break free, and Shi Zhuo, who was pale and stunned on the spot, only felt that this world was so crazy. This Baby Ginseng was not only freaking able to replenish, but its combat power was even more freaking terrifying!!!

How could Shi Yu's pets be so monstrous! Even the teachers and students of Capital University, such as Yin Zhengfan and others, who had infinite trust in Gao Xuan, had a change of expression at this moment, with a little more worry. Captain Gao, Captain Gao should be fine, right...
