Chapter 41: Meeting Ma Xiaotao for the first time and asking for compensation
"Senior Xu, you lost again."
Chen Junting suddenly knocked Xu Sanshi away from the Soul Fighting Platform, and then used his backhand sword to collide with the incoming dragon claw!
The thunder surged, covering his body and most of the surrounding area. Thunder and lightning struck from top to bottom, densely packed like thunder snakes, blocking the view.
The hot electric light directly ignited the white robe.
Burnt black spots appeared everywhere on the clothes.
In an instant, Chen Junting and Beibei started a head-on confrontation!
A vast yet ferocious momentum spread from Chen Junting's body, as if it had transformed from the invisible to the tangible. Under the rays of sword light, the lightning snakes that ran through them were shattered, revealing the figures of Chen Junting and Beibei fighting each other.
On the other side, Qin Lan continued to fight with Jiang Nannan, who was restricted to the level of a great soul master, thanks to Gao Ming's boost.
Until a sword light broke the deadlock.
The Seven Killing Sword in Chen Junting's hand revealed a flowing shadow.
Also when the purple five-pointed star in third place lights up...
"Shua——"
A white dragon filled with murderous aura lingered on the sword, and with only a flash of cold light, the Seven Kills Sword galloped out!
Beibei had no time to react. The scales of the dragon's claw were instantly broken at the moment it was brushed, and a cut was made directly on his body. The murderous aura lingered and made him bleed! The surrounding thunder and lightning were instantly shattered by the flying sword that lingered around the white dragon!
“Beibei!”
Tang Ya in the audience couldn't sit still!
Just when he wanted to go on stage, he was stopped by Ning Tian.
"Senior Xiaoya, don't be anxious. Look."
On the soul fighting stage, Beibei was almost broken into a cold sweat! What he felt just now was real. The sword was deliberately grazing him. If he was really hit by the sword...
He touched his heart and revealed a wry smile.
Maintaining the state of being possessed by the martial spirit, he held his fists in the air.
"Brother Chen, I lost."
"Senior Beibei, I accept."
Chen Junting quickly stepped forward and wiped away the murderous aura from his wound. Then he took out a pill and gave it to Beibei to take.
After a while, the wound stopped bleeding.
And Beibei's pale face gradually turned rosy.
At this time, Chen Junting walked towards Jiang Nannan.
"Senior, your team has lost."
Seeing that there was only one person left, Jiang Nannan decided to do it.
Just admit defeat!
"Little brother Chen, what was that sword strike you just made?"
Beibei stroked the scar on his chest with lingering fear, then put on his coat again and asked curiously. After all, if he remembered correctly, according to his junior's previous introduction in the Soul Fighting Arena, his third soul skill was "Sword Wings Flying".
It is a functional and amplifying soul skill.
"That's considered a self-created soul skill."
"One blade cuts the throat, and a hundred steps fly with the sword."
"But..." Chen Junting's face clearly showed a trace of dissatisfaction, "This self-created soul skill has not yet achieved the effect I expected. So it needs the third soul skill to assist."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's lips twitched!
It’s too pretentious!
Next, Xu Sanshi, Beibei, Jiang Nannan, and Tang Ya took turns taking turns, while Chen Junting and his three teams also honed the compatibility of their respective teams in the battle.
The three teams checked and filled in the gaps and improved each time.
It wasn't until it was getting late that the running-in training came to an end.
During this process, Wang Dong also proposed to join the Tang Sect.
Tang Ya, who was already worried about the Tang Sect's sparse population and withering talents, instantly became excited. So after reading out the Tang Sect's rules, Wang Dong was asked to join the Tang Sect, and Beibei taught Wang Dong the secrets of the Tang Sect one by one.
…
After leaving Jiubao Pavilion, everyone was not in a hurry to return to the academy. Instead, they visited the snack street, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Apart from…
"Nan Nan, this is the most famous fruit tea in this snack street! Nan Nan, this is the best barbecue in this snack street..."
Xu Sanshi held many snacks in his hands, and he showed a flattering smile, constantly trying to please Jiang Nannan. Jiang Nannan's face was as cold as ice. She didn't even want to respond and just pretended not to recognize Xu Sanshi.
Even the Chenjunting people are the same.
"Shame on you!"
Beibei suddenly covered his face with one hand. No matter how shady he usually was, now he just felt that he was not thick-skinned enough!
"Go quickly, go quickly..."
Chen Junting on the side also grabbed Ning Tian's pretty hand, and the two of them speeded up their pace in a tacit understanding, trying to get away from Xu Sanshi quickly.
"Xiao Xu."
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded. Hearing this voice, Xu Sanshi, who had just been clinging to Jiang Nannan like a dog-skin plaster, shivered. The fear and helplessness in his eyes were instantly replaced by a flattering posture.
Chen Junting and the others also instantly noticed the change in the surrounding atmosphere. The noise in the snack street disappeared, and the other diners also became silent the moment a figure appeared.
A woman in red came slowly, and the crowded crowd made way for her in an almost tacit and natural manner. They didn't even dare to look at her and lowered their heads.
The woman's figure is slender and well-proportioned, with slightly exaggerated peaks and ridges declaring her capital. Her slender waist makes her devilish figure more prominent, until the arc of her crotch suddenly enlarges. Her legs were straight, and a strong youthful atmosphere came to her face.
Although there is a red veil on her face that makes it difficult to see her appearance, it can be seen from her eyebrows that she is a beauty.
Seeing the visitor, Chen Junting raised his brows slightly.
Ma Xiaotao!
“She’s a senior from the inner courtyard.”
The red uniform of the inner courtyard is extremely easy to recognize. So Ning Tian, who recognized him, came to Chen Junting's ear and whispered.
"And Senior Xu Sanshi seems to be very afraid of her."
Xu Sanshi was lowering his head, unwilling to look directly into his eyes. "Sister Xiaotao."
"You are here as expected. It's a shame I've been looking for you for so long."
Ma Xiaotao glanced at the few people, and the arrogance in her eyes seemed not to take Chen Junting and the others seriously at all. Only when she saw Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, her eyes paused slightly, as if she was recognizing something, and she saw two things. People are uneasy.
Until Chen Junting and Ning Tian slowly stepped forward, blocking Ma Xiaotao's scrutinizing gaze. Just as Chen Junting and Ma Xiaotao looked at each other, Ning Tian turned his head and asked softly.
"Yu Hao, Wang Dong, do you know this senior?"
Hesitate for a moment…
Huo Yuhao nodded and Wang Dong shook his head.
But seeing Huo Yuhao's behavior, he quickly changed his attitude.
Immediately, Huo Yuhao informed Chen Junting and others about what happened after they arrived at Poseidon Lake some time ago.
The passers-by around him also sped away.
This kind of thing is not something they can hear.
When Huo Yuhao said that their compensation was two soul-raising pills, Wang Dong still looked happy, but he didn't realize that Chen Junting's face had turned cold, and Ning Tian's gentleness had also disappeared.
"Two soul-raising pills, two lives."
Chen Junting spoke slowly. Although his tone was calm, it made people shudder. Wang Dong, who was still happy, immediately felt something was wrong, covered his mouth and hid behind Huo Yuhao.
Ning Tian also smiled, looking directly at Ma Xiaotao without fear. "Senior sister, this is too 'cheap selling'."
Ma Xiaotao frowned when he heard this, and his eyes showed thoughts. But her thoughts were not about Ning Tian and Chen Junting's words, but about the ice attribute that appeared that day.
"Which of you has an ice-attribute martial spirit?"
The scrutinizing gaze went directly past Chen Junting and Ning Tian.
He stretched out his hand to grab Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
At this moment, Chen Junting and Ning Tian were completely angered!
Are they just doing this for Huo Yuhao?
Yes and no.
More importantly, it was for the sake of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect’s face.
"Buzz——"×2
The Seven Killing Sword is sharp and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower is gorgeous. It was these two martial spirits that directly caused Ma Xiaotao's hands to freeze in place.
"Nine Treasures... Liuli Sect."
"Not only that, Wang Dong is also a member of my Tang Sect!"
Ma Xiaotao didn't even look at Tang Ya who jumped out, but slowly retracted her hand. As a disciple of Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Wuhun Department, although she is not as shrewd as her teacher, she also understands the relationship between her academy and the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect.
And because the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is the world's richest, most powerful, and has the most intelligence in the mainland... In the eyes of Shrek Academy, the level of respect for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is far greater than that of the White Tiger Duke's Palace.
Moreover, when a Nine Treasures Glazed Sect disciple enters the school, his identity will not be simple. There will definitely be a future Young Sect Master, a future Sect Protector Douluo, and then there will be some outstanding disciples of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect.
Now, the identity of the young sect master and the future sect protector Douluo is already clear. Then the remaining ones are outstanding disciples...
"Excellent disciple? Just him? A loser who is only ten years old and only at level 18?" Ma Xiaotao glanced at Huo Yuhao, her eyes full of disdain without even looking at him. This disdain deeply hurt Huo Yuhao's heart and also annoyed everyone.
Among them, Wu Feng, who regards Huo Yuhao as his younger brother, and Wang Dong, who has an arrogant temperament, were the first to explode! "What do you mean!"
However, Ma Xiaotao didn't pay attention to the two of them at all. She just looked at Ning Tian and Chen Junting calmly, "Tell me what compensation you want." Obviously, she couldn't ignore the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect for this trivial matter. This is the richest sect.
"It's very simple, two soul bones."
Chen Junting spoke calmly and stated the conditions.
It was as if two soul bones were nothing at all.
"impossible!"
Seeing Chen Junting opening his mouth like this, Ma Xiaotao suppressed her anger and refused decisively with displeasure in her eyes, "At most one piece! And it's a secret soul bone!"
"Can."
Seeing that Ma Xiaotao agreed, Ning Tian nodded slightly.
After all, what they want is an attitude.
As for the soul bones...the value of the soul bones for this kind of compensation must not be high, so the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect has no shortage at all.
"Take it."
Spring-like fingers slid over the ruby on her index finger, and with a flash of light, a skin bag appeared in her hand. After throwing it to Huo Yuhao, he turned around without looking back.
"Xiao Xu, let's go."
When Xu Sanshi heard this, he said bitterly.
"Sister Xiaotao, can you be gentle today?"
However, Ma Xiaotao, who was suppressing his anger at this moment, would not allow Xu Sanshi to bargain with him here! Grabbing his back collar, the fiery red phoenix wings suddenly spread out!
Then it soared into the sky!
Disappear from everyone’s sight!
She doesn’t want to stay here any longer!
"It's a shame, Senior Xu." Chen Junting couldn't help but shook his head as he listened to Xu Sanshi's screams gradually fade away. But after seeing Huo Yuhao, who was holding a skin bag and standing there blankly, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Yuhao, just keep this secret soul bone yourself. The sect will not ask for it from you. But I will also give it to you. Here’s a suggestion. This kind of soul bone is of poor quality. Don’t rush to absorb it. Once you find two soul bones with similar attributes, you can fuse them. Otherwise, it will be a waste of a precious soul. The bone is gone.”
"Yes, Brother Junting."
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but turn his eyes red and looked at Ning Tian.
This was the first time someone stood up for him.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaotian."
"Okay, there's no need to say thank you."
Ning Tian smiled and held Chen Junting's arm, while Chen Junting also took a look at the extremely deserted streets and Tang Ya, who was in despair because Ma Xiaotao ignored the Tang Sect, and sighed.
"Today's good mood has been completely ruined."
"Forget it, go back."
"Recharge your batteries and prepare for tomorrow's freshman assessment."
