Chapter 79 Promotion Tournament
Chen Xuan observed carefully. Although Zhu Zhuqing refused, his gaze stayed on the soul bone for a long time.
Ten thousand year old soul bones are very rare, let alone a soul bone that is more than twenty thousand years old, and is a piece that is suitable for a quick attack soul master. It is hard to come by at a high price.
Although the Zhu family is wealthy, it is not easy to find a soul bone that fits Zhu Zhuqing. Moreover, according to the character of the Zhu family's leader, it doesn't matter if she is a daughter. It is impossible to find a soul bone that is ten thousand years old, let alone a thousand-year soul bone.
"No matter how precious something is, if it doesn't meet the right person, it will be worthless. This is my promise, so please accept it." Chen Xuan said.
This time, Zhu Zhuqing was silent and hesitant.
Chen Xuan pressed the issue, "Zhu Qing, what do you think is your chance of winning against those two people in the future, given your current strength and Dai Mubai's?"
Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled slightly and she looked at Chen Xuan in shock.
Finally, she stopped hesitating and accepted the ten thousand year old soul bone that emitted green light.
Just as Chen Xuan said, she needed this soul bone, and its attributes were very suitable for her. It was perfect. More importantly, with her and Dai Mubai's strength, their chances of winning against Davis and her sister in the future would be less than 30%.
It can be said that the future game will determine the fate of her and Dai Mubai in their next life. If she wins, the inheritance right of the Xingluo Empire will fall into Dai Mubai's hands. If she loses, she will fall into an abyss.
After sending the soul bone, Chen Xuan said solemnly: "Zhu Qing, if possible, absorb this soul bone as soon as possible. Although the Ten Thousand Soul Bone is a treasure, it is also a very dangerous thing. Avoid any more trouble. I... don't want you to get into trouble."
"I don't want anything to happen to you..." The last few words sounded particularly loud in Zhu Zhuqing's ears.
Her heart was moved, a warm feeling flowed through her heart, and her eyes suddenly became moist.
This man is obviously also a sensitive attack type, and the soul bone is also suitable for him. Isn't it important to him? But why should he give it away? Obviously... he himself has not absorbed the soul bone.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were moist and her heart was deeply touched. No one had ever been so good to her, and no one had ever been able to make such selfless contributions for her, preferring not to use the best things themselves but to leave them for her.
"You...why are you so nice to me..." Zhu Zhuqing's voice was a little choked, and the look she gave Chen Xuan became as gentle as water, without a trace of coldness.
"Don't tell me about the promised gift. I don't believe it."
This sentence made Chen Xuangan silent and choked on the spot.
Soul bones are precious and are treasures to soul masters, but he feels that they are of little use. It is impossible for him to absorb soul bones, so he has to give them away.
Chen Xuan felt that no normal person would believe him if he answered truthfully, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain it.
Because she's a partner...she's pretty, a nice person, etc. He thought about it all and felt that she was unreliable.
"I don't know." In the end, Chen Xuan could only answer this way. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reasonable reason.
Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes were like torches as she looked straight into his eyes, not believing what he said.
Eyes are the windows to the soul. She knew that Chen Xuan was lying. He had been struggling for so long and must be going through some kind of psychological struggle.
Among so many women, Xiaowu, Ning Rongrong, Jiangzhu and many other girls in the academy, he is only nice to her. It's too obvious.
Zhu Zhuqing is very smart and she is not a little girl anymore. She saw through the lie at a glance and roughly guessed what Chen Xuan was thinking, but she chose not to expose the lie.
Although she didn't understand why Chen Xuan liked her, he refused to confess. No matter what the reason was, she had no intention of exposing this relationship.
Zhu Zhuqing's touched heart has calmed down and her face has returned to normal. She knows her fate clearly and cannot resist. Some things are destined to be incompatible.
Unless Chen Xuan is powerful enough to fight against the Xingluo royal family, change her fate, and take her away from that place.
"Chen Xuan, thank you for everything you have done for me. You are really a good person. It's a pity that we are destined to..." Zhu Zhuqing looked lost and sad.
"Am I being called a nice guy again?" Chen Xuan's eyelids twitched wildly, with a big question mark in his eyes. Those words were too harsh. Zhu Zhuqing turned around, with her back to Chen Xuan, left a few words, and walked into Shrek Academy.
"Rest early and be careful on the road."
Chen Xuan was suddenly extremely stunned, with a big question mark on his head. Something was wrong, absolutely wrong. When did the aloof Fan Bingshan become so down-to-earth and say such things?
At this time, Zhu Zhuqing's figure had disappeared at the end. He wanted to get to the bottom of it, but he had to give up.
Finally, Chen Xuan also left and returned to his residence.
……
next day
One month has passed, and the continental soul master promotion competition is held today.
During this period of time, so many days and nights, I believe that the teams from various colleges have become stronger.
Tiandou City, promoted to the competition area
When the sun was shining, all the contestants arrived one after another and gathered in the competition area.
The competition area is huge, equivalent to seven or eight football fields, and has walls that are more than 30 meters high, making it a closed venue.
Outside, eight hundred knights were stationed to guard the area and ensure the safety of the contestants.
The promotion match is completely different from the preliminaries. It adopts a closed fighting style with no spectators. Even nobles and wealthy businessmen are not allowed to enter to watch. Moreover, teams that have not advanced are not allowed to come in. It is quite strict.
There was no opening ceremony for the qualifying round, which reduced the cumbersome ceremonies and made it relatively quiet and less lively.
At the same time, people from the five vassal states and principalities of the Tiandou Empire arrived to watch the promotion match.
The soul masters selected through the promotion matches are undoubtedly the elite among the elites and have huge potential. These small countries are extremely eager for talents and need a lot of powerful soul masters to take charge.
Bumps have risen up in this area, and tents have been set up, and the major teams can move in directly.
A general named Rockson was responsible for leading the Shrek Seven Devils and the substitute players to the Shrek base.
This time, in addition to the trio of Flanders, Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang, teacher Qin Ming also came to serve as the children's logistics teacher.
Chen Xuan yawned and followed behind the team. Jiangzhu was beside him, walking with him. Zhu Zhuqing was in front, walking with the two sisters.
"Xiao Wu, have you gained weight? Your belly has gotten a little bigger."
Ning Rongrong looked curious, as if she had seen something incredible.
"That's not right. I remember you haven't eaten much in this period. How can you still gain weight?"
Little girls like her are the most sensitive about their bodies. She witnessed with her own eyes that the petite Xiaowu was growing a little belly step by step.
Tang San had very good hearing and couldn't help but look back. Since Xiao Wu was wearing a belly-baring outfit, her fair skin was exposed and could be seen clearly.
Xiao Wu's body stiffened, her face suddenly tense, and she didn't dare to look directly at her third brother.
After Tang San looked at her for a few times, he withdrew his gaze, showed a sunny smile, and said: "Xiao Wu, you really should lose some weight. You have gained weight."
Ning Rongrong pouted and accused, "Third brother, how can you talk like that? Don't you know that girls pay the most attention to their figure? Be careful that you won't be able to find a girlfriend."
Tang San laughed awkwardly a few times, turned around happily and continued walking.
