Chapter 133 Finals
Chen Xuan kicked Tang San heavily in the stomach, waking him up from his fainting with pain. He vomited blood and flew out.
Flanders took action, leaped into the air, caught Tang San steadily, and then handed him over to Jiangzhu and Ning Rongrong for treatment, while going to find a local healing spirit master.
This time, no one said anything and everyone was silent. They were not the kind of people who could not tell right from wrong. After learning the reason, even if the scales in their hearts tilted towards Tang San, they could no longer speak for him.
The only thing that Chen Xuan didn't expect was that even after being treated like that, Xiao Wu could still plead for Tang San. It was beyond his expectations.
He couldn't accept it that the child's mother seemed to still miss the other person, and the relationship would have to be severed sooner or later.
Not long after, Jiangzhu and Ning Rongrong came back and told everyone that Tang San was seriously injured. Fortunately, he was sent for treatment in time, otherwise he would have been left with irreversible injuries.
Now we have invited the most powerful healing spirit master to treat him, but Tang San will not be able to participate in the competitions in the next few days, as he needs time to recover.
"Hey, you all go back and have some rest. I'll go see how Xiaosan is doing." Flanders was in a bad mood. He gave a few casual instructions and then left the manor with Liu Erlong.
Dai Mubai, Tai Long, Oscar and others said nothing and went back to their room to rest.
At this point, the matter of Xiao Wu’s pregnancy was over, and the relationship between Chen Xuan and Shrek became even more strained.
Before returning to the house, Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Chen Xuan with mixed emotions, but did not speak and walked straight back to the hotel.
Jiangzhu and Ning Rongrong were taken away to take care of Tang San together, and they would not be back until the evening.
Now, only Chen Xuan and Xiao Wu are left in the open space in front of the manor.
The two were surprisingly silent, the atmosphere was too quiet and a little awkward.
In the end, it was Xiao Wu who broke the deadlock and spoke in a low voice, thanking: "Thank you for saving me just now."
"fine."
Chen Xuan nodded and said, "This is what I should do. I am responsible for you and the baby in your belly."
"No, just now...thank you for standing in front of me without hesitation and speaking up for me. Thank you so much." Xiao Wu said softly with a serious expression.
At that time, even her godmother was questioning her, and only the man she once hated was willing to stand in front of her, protect her, and help her vent her anger.
Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "You don't have to feel any psychological burden. This is also my promise to myself. As long as I am still here, I will never let you get hurt."
"No, thank you so much for what I said just now." Xiao Wu shook her head, not for show, but out of gratitude from the bottom of her heart.
Originally, she hated this man, even to the point of disgust, but after spending the past few days together, she gradually changed her mind, especially when he kept saying that he would protect her and actually did so, which made her feel very warm and full of security.
Especially, Xiao Wu finally understood what Chen Xuan had just said, and felt a little distressed. That was his own promise. He never asked for anything, and everything was voluntary. Even if she refused, he would still do it.
Xiao Wu's eyes were slightly red, with tears welling up in them. It was not until today that she realized the firm belief and silent dedication of this man. Before this, she had never treated him well, and even insulted him, which made her feel very guilty.
Unconsciously, she gradually began to try to accept this man, which was also her responsibility towards her future baby.
She lost her father when she was born and depended on her mother for everything. How could a person who had been through the rain want her child to live an unhappy life like her?
Tang San's Zhuge Divine Crossbow had shattered all her fantasies and made her extremely heartbroken. Now, the baby in her belly was like a sun, rising slowly, and it was all her hope.
"Go back and rest soon. I know you've been wronged today. Go back and have a good sleep. Everything will be fine." Chen Xuan spoke with gentle eyes, worried about her.
He has no relatives or friends in this world, only indifference and emptiness, illusion and reality. Most of the time, he doesn't know where he is and cannot integrate into this world.
It was Xiao Wu who brought him a different feeling. A new life, his offspring, gave him a sense of responsibility and helped him completely integrate into this world.
"Yeah, you too." Xiao Wu nodded softly and returned to the hotel to rest.
She no longer hated the man who did so many warm things for her and protected her, making her feel warm and at ease.
Even without these, she should try to accept it for the sake of her children.
After one night, the autumn wind came, and all things gradually withered. The trees outside the door swayed, and the yellow leaves began to fall, marking the beginning of autumn.
The Continental Soul Master Finals finally began today.
Many people in Shrek felt dazed. They had experienced so many things in the past half month that they almost forgot about the competition. Everyone gathered in an open space in front of the hotel. Jiangzhu and Ning Rongrong had returned last night.
"Cough cough."
Flanders cleared his throat and said to the group of little monsters, "Little monsters, cheer up. Although Xiao San can't participate in the competition with you, my heart is with you. Show your best to welcome the competition and don't let Xiao San down."
"Don't worry, Dean. I will take back Xiao San's share!" Dai Mubai looked ambitious.
The rest of the Shrek members were also extremely determined. Although Tang San was not there, they would definitely make Shrek famous.
"Well, very good." Flanders put his hands behind his back, looked at the group of children with satisfaction, and finally smiled.
"You don't have to worry. Xiao San has woken up and is cooperating with the healing soul master for treatment."
Then, Flanders told everyone that Tang San's injuries were no longer serious. With the help of magical herbs and elixirs, he was recovering rapidly and he believed that he would be able to return to the game in a few days.
Upon hearing the news, Dai Mubai, Tyrone, Oscar and others breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that Xiao San was very powerful and that injury was definitely nothing.
At the same time, they are extremely looking forward to Tang San's return so that they can fight for the championship together.
……
Soon after, Shrek and his group arrived at the competition venue, a stadium located above the Pope's Palace.
This place is one of the highest areas in Wuhun City. It is surrounded by mountains, clouds, and white mist. The mist is rising and floating in all directions, lingering around the stadium, like a secret fairyland.
The arena is huge, up to 120 meters in a straight line and 60 meters in width, which is much larger than the arena in the Tiandou competition area.
Above the stadium, there was a stone statue of a woman with six wings spread out. From the outline of her face, it could be seen that she was a very beautiful woman.
And she is the symbol of the Spirit Hall, the deity - the six-winged angel.
A lot of people have gathered here. Thirty-three teams have arrived one after another. There are many new faces and they are not Tiandou's team.
Afterwards, the leading teachers from all the colleges were invited to be inspected.
The Shrek group was waiting in the rest area.
Not long after, Flanders came back with the inspection results and informed everyone that the three teams recommended by the Empire would be given a bye and would not participate in the first game. They would have a chance to draw those three strong teams in the next round.
"Dean, who is our opponent?" everyone asked nervously.
"There's good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Flanders kept it a secret, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he couldn't suppress his joy.
The Dean's smile was harder to suppress than AK's. Everyone at Shrek had guessed that it must be something very beneficial to the team, otherwise why would the Dean be so happy.
"Dean, we have to hear the bad news first!" said Ma Hongjun.
The rest of the Shrek people nodded, waiting for the dean to speak with a hint of nervousness.
Seeing everyone's anticipation, Flanders stopped keeping everyone in suspense and said, "The bad news is that our opponent this time has been drawn from Blazing Academy."
Upon hearing this, the Shrek people were very helpless. How could they draw their old rival Chihuo again?
After two defeats, Blazing Academy must have been holding back a big move. Now that Tang San is not here, they don’t know how to fight the enemy. Without Tang San’s fire immunity, they are under great pressure. Can they still win?
"Um... Dean, are you sure this is not good news?" Chen Xuan suddenly spoke, expressing deep doubt.
In his opinion, Chihuo Academy is just so-so. To be cruel, it is not even as good as Tianshui Academy. He really doesn't think it is stronger than Tianshui Academy.
