Chapter 146 The Battle for the Throne
In the third round of the finals, Star Luo Imperial Academy faced off against Shrek Academy, and the winner was Shrek Academy.
The finals adopted a knockout system. Shrek successfully advanced, while the Xingluo team was eliminated and stopped there.
After winning the game, Shrek was not very enthusiastic and the atmosphere was low. The students and teachers returned to the hotel early.
The winner was determined between the two sides, and the competition continued. Tianshui, Kamikaze, Leitingxi and other academies, as well as contestants from the Star Luo Empire, participated in the continued knockout rounds.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun had already been sent for treatment. The top healing soul masters in Wuhun City took action. After half a day, good news came.
Evening
Shrek's residence, a suburban manor, several female healing soul masters arrived to tell a piece of news.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar are fine and are expected to wake up in the evening without delaying subsequent competitions.
As for Dai Mubai, half of his body was covered in blood and flesh, and all his bones were broken. Fortunately, the broken ribs did not pierce his heart, otherwise he would have died on the spot.
Flanders' face was heavy and he sat there without saying a word.
The female therapist told him that they would do their best to treat Dai Mubai, and his life was not in question. Unfortunately, the injury was too serious and had damaged his organs. He had no choice but to not participate in the following competitions.
This is their warning. Whether they listen or not depends on the Shrek team leader, and they have no right to interfere.
After that, several female soul masters left and promised to send Ma Hongjun and Oscar back tomorrow.
After the healing soul master left, no one in Shrek spoke. There was silence, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
At this moment, the most angry people are undoubtedly Flanders and Liu Erlong.
First, Xiao San, the last disciple of the master, was injured, and then Ma Hongjun and Oscar fell into coma. In the end, Mu Bai was severely injured, leaving huge trauma, and he may not be able to compete in the following games.
As the culprit, Chen Xuan left the room and went outside to get some fresh air so as not to offend them.
Watching him walk out, Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment, and then walked out of the room.
Xiao Wu snorted coldly, feeling very dissatisfied. She was about to chase him out, but was stopped by Liu Erlong.
"Xiao Wu, where are you going?" Liu Erlong looked serious, and his stern eyes fell on Xiao Wu.
She had no expression on her face and said calmly: "You and I will go visit Xiaosan later to see how he is recovering."
Obviously, Liu Erlong is in a state of anger. I am emotionally unstable, and I have accumulated anger with nowhere to vent it.
“Oh, okay.” Xiao Wu pouted, a little unhappy.
Outside
"Thank you for today's game. If it weren't for you, Mubai and I wouldn't know what to do."
The tree-lined path is lined with big trees. , a man and a woman were walking among the woods, breathing the fresh air.
In the evening, the evening wind blows, and the flowers, plants and trees are swaying gently, making a sweet sound.
"Alas, I always feel that things are not as simple as they appear." Chen Xuan sighed, thoughtfully, there should be another meaning to those two people's words.
Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly and was also thinking about it. The last words left by Zhu Zhuyun made her think deeply.
Chen Xuan vaguely guessed that the fight for the throne would inevitably involve bloodshed, and it would be a life-and-death fight. How could it be decided by a game?
Given Davis's ruthless personality, it would be unrealistic for him to surrender his right to the throne if he loses the game.
Besides, those two people were not completely defeated, they just lost the game. The battle with Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing was actually not defeated, but actually won.
How to judge the battle between the four people, in the final analysis, it is decided by the Xingluo royal family.
"Zhuqing, after the game is over, don't go back to the Star Luo Empire yet." Chen Xuan reminded, fearing the worst outcome. He believed that the Star Luo royal family would most likely lean toward Davis, not Dai Mubai. After all, Davis was stronger at this stage, and the reason why he lost the game was because of the intervention of outsiders.
Zhu Zhuqing was a little stunned and didn't know why.
The two of them stopped. There was no road ahead. A small river blocked the way, running through the woods and flowing into the distance.
Chen Xuan sat on a boulder, and then told Zhu Zhuqing his guess, as well as some of what Davis had said, so that she could know the secret.
Born in the Zhu family, he has experienced intrigues since childhood and has been in a place where powerful people are fighting. Chen Xuan believes that Zhuqing understands better than him and can more easily determine the truth.
Sure enough, after listening to his guess, Zhu Zhuqing became silent and sat by the river without saying a word.
She is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart and understands everything. Before, her thoughts were too naive and too beautiful. The battle for the throne is so cruel, and blood will flow like a river, so what? One game can decide it.
She felt cruel. She had worked hard for so long and won the game, but in the end, she still couldn't change her fate?
Zhu Zhuqing looked sad, his eyes were dull, his head was lowered, and he stared at the river flowing by.
Chen Xuan couldn't bear it. Even if she felt sad, she rarely showed it.
"Maybe things weren't that bad after all, everything is fine." He comforted her like this, but even he didn't believe what he said.
Zhu Zhuqing shook his head slightly, but remained silent.
Chen Xuan was speechless, and after a while he continued to speak, saying: "When the finals are over, don't go back to the Star Luo Empire. Just hide outside for a while."
He was slightly After thinking about it, he added: "At least, we did win the game. Now you and Dai Mubai are safe."
Since the battle for the throne is still going on, return to the Star Luo Empire and use their His strength is no match for Davis, so he might as well keep running away and come back later when he is stronger.
Zhu Zhuqing shook his head gently, with a touch of bitterness on his beautiful cheeks, and said: "It's useless. It was the past, but it's different now. The Star Luo Empire is so powerful, we can't run away."
Chen Xuan was silent. He had thought of this now. Now that the battle for the throne had officially begun, the Star Luo Empire would probably no longer turn a blind eye like before.
In the end, he was still sorry for Zhu Zhuqing. Without his intervention, today's situation would not have happened.
In the original timeline, the two people's martial soul fusion skills were sublimated. The Nether White Tiger evolved and its strength was greatly improved, thus defeating Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.
But now, let alone the evolved version of the Nether White Tiger, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai can no longer even use their martial soul fusion skills.
"Sorry, it was my fault." Chen Xuan whispered, expressing his apology.
Since the game during the day, everyone in Shrek knew about the personal relationship between Zhu Zhuqing and him, but no one took the initiative to mention it afterwards.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head and remained silent. With her intelligence, she could naturally hear what Chen Xuan meant, but she must have her own concerns when she chose to remain silent.
Chen Xuan was silent for a while and did not continue on this topic. He said: "You have caught up with Zhu Zhuyun. You are no worse than anyone else. Your talent is also very good. The continent is vast, including overseas and the extreme north. , I don’t believe that the Xingluo Empire is so powerful that it can reach such a place.”
He really doesn’t think Zhu Zhuqing is weak, but is actually very good. He has already caught up with Zhu Zhuyun before he is fifteen years old. He has also cultivated to level 47, but his combat power is slightly better.
"No, Xing Luo's power is really huge." Zhu Zhuqing shook his head, with a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.
She understands the power of the Star Luo Empire too well. She will fight for the throne honestly and those people will not interfere. But if someone escapes, then they will be hunted down endlessly.
"Those places are extremely dangerous and the environment is harsh. Even if I go there, it won't help. Besides, the polar regions are far away. How could there not be an ambush from the royal family on the road." Zhu Zhuqing's voice was cold, but a trace of despair could be heard.
Chen Xuan blurted out without thinking, "I'll go with you!"
