Chapter 147 Why Are You Still Biting? (Two in One)
What to do?
Su Cheng also felt that the situation was difficult.
Zhu Zhuqing was very opinionated and stubborn now. If she was not handled properly, it would easily leave a knot between the two.
It would be difficult to fool her by making jokes.
It was fine at other times, but at this moment, making jokes with a smile might add fuel to the fire.
Then just tell her the plan?
The inheritance of the hidden god position in the Spirit Hall, the ownership of Xiao Wu's 100,000-year-level spirit ring, etc.
No.
He couldn't fully understand Zhu Zhuqing's current thoughts, but he was sure that if he told her everything, she would never remain indifferent, and she would most likely choose to do something quietly.
This was not Su Cheng's business alone.
It was about Qian Renxue, and he had no right to use this information to gain Zhu Zhuqing's trust.
Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing was not strong enough, and there was no one to take care of her behind her, so it was too dangerous to get involved.
As for joining the Spirit Hall, even if she was willing, Su Cheng would not let her do so, and it would not be good for her.
The growth path of the Nether White Tiger determined that after her spirit was complete, she was not suitable to join any force.
Su Cheng's eyes flickered, and he was a little hesitant.
The incident happened suddenly, and he did not expect Zhu Zhuqing to ask him out to meet because of Qian Renxue, and her reaction was so intense.
Not to mention that Qian Renxue has not yet taken power, the Spirit Hall should not talk too much about her existence.
Even if Zhu Zhuqing really knew, there was no reason to think too much.
He did not understand the nature of the simulated world, and did not know whether it was a real parallel world that could interact with the real world, or a virtual game.
But Zhu Zhuqing in that world had been friends with him for decades, and he could not sit idly by and watch the other party take risks regardless of whether it was true or false.
That's why he mentioned Qian Renxue's situation at the last moment, but he didn't expect that the other party could remember even such details clearly.
"..."
Seeing Su Cheng silent, Zhu Zhuqing's anger, doubts, and ridicule gradually subsided, and finally turned into a calm.
Her eyes gradually dimmed, and the five fingers holding his collar slowly loosened.
"I'm tired." Zhu Zhuqing said softly.
"I don't want to be used by you anymore, or play those role-playing games with you. I will do what I promised you, and I will help Xiao Wu enter the finals."
She dropped her hands and took a step back.
"Then I will withdraw from the academy with Dai Mubai, and I will not participate in the finals again."
After saying that, she took a deep look at Su Cheng and prepared to turn around and leave.
Su Cheng was stunned when he heard it.
This seems to be the best direction for development.
Xiao Wu and Tang San went to the Spirit Hall to participate in the competition. At that time, he could work with Xiao Xue to plan a 100,000-year spirit ring.
And Zhu Zhuqing could also take the opportunity to get out, waiting to upgrade the spirit to the Nether White Tiger in the future.
Then the two parted ways from then on.
Just like he once said, let the other party have no worries from now on.
But...
"What is Zhuqing to me?"
Looking at the other party's actions and words, Su Cheng felt his heart sink.
Tool?
He doesn't need to use people close to him as tools.
He has too many ways to take advantage of the situation and then go with the flow.
Friend?
If so, then it is indeed time to let go.
The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and there is no need to demand too much from each other.
But...
Zhu Zhuqing's slightly delicate shoulders were pressed down by a strong hand.
She raised her head and glared.
"You--"
Before she finished her words, a shadow covered her eyes.
The red lips were also blocked, and the subsequent words were forced to swallow back, turning into a soft moan.
Under the moonlight, the two figures overlapped.
Zhu Zhuqing's originally slightly cold cheeks froze instantly.
Soon, her eyes became empty and blank, and there seemed to be mist in her eyes.
After a moment, Zhu Zhuqing's absent-minded eyes suddenly trembled slightly, and her eyes regained focus.
Frowning, eyebrows raised high——
"Hiss..."
Su Cheng let go of the other party, raised his hand to cover his mouth and looked up.
His mouth was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Are you born in the Year of the Dog!"
Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face flushed and stared at him, her high chest heaving violently, drawing a moving trajectory.
Then she raised her right hand and wiped her lips hard.
"What are you doing!"
"I——"
"You still stick out your tongue! Isn't it disgusting!"
"You——"
"Disgusting!"
Su Cheng didn't have a chance to continue speaking.
After Zhu Zhuqing scolded a few words, she turned around and ran away, leaving the forest quickly.
However, compared with when she came, her movements seemed a little embarrassed, as if she was running for her life.
She didn't say anything about not participating in the finals or parting ways.
"..."
"It's really obscene."
The soft voice with an inexplicable emotion suddenly sounded beside him, making Su Cheng a little embarrassed.
"You don't understand."
"You are so confident. You rely on the fact that the girl likes you and use this method to force her to stay. Where are the words you said to me before?"
Listening to Ah Yin's faint voice, Su Cheng was speechless.
Indeed, he was greedy and didn't want to let go.
He said nice things, saying that he hoped she would pursue freedom, but in the end he still provoked her like this.
The preliminaries of the Tiandou Division continued as usual.
After the battle with Tianshui College, Su Cheng did not encounter any other surprises in the following few games.
The strength of Xiangjia College was not bad, but the martial soul and soul skills were not special. The whole team was full of heavy tanks, so he quickly ended the battle.
After winning, Su Cheng recruited Hu Yanli, who had a soul bone, just like before.
Unlike Feng Xiaotian and Shui Binger's entanglement, Hu Yanli showed a strong intention on the spot.
In fact, they had discussed this matter internally before.
At this time, most people still didn't know that the Xiangjia Sect behind Xiangjia College had already secretly surrendered to the Wuhun Hall.
As the preliminaries went on until today, the quota was actually determined.
Tiandou Royal College, Shenfeng College, and Lei Ting College basically had a place in the finals.
Shrek College had Zhu Zhuqing, and there was a great chance to advance.
Among the remaining colleges, Tianshui College and Chihuo College were not weak, and it was extremely difficult for Xiangjia College to win and get a top five ranking in the standings.
What they wanted was mainly to have a place in the main force.
This way, they would have a chance to perform in the finals, at least to let the Pope and the elders see the potential of the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul in the hands of the younger generation.
As for the Thunder Academy team behind, Su Cheng's recruitment was rejected by the other party as expected.
Although their captain Yu Tianxin spoke very politely, his attitude was extremely firm.
Su Cheng didn't care.
The strength of this team already had a great chance to advance to the finals.
What's more, the other party has the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan behind them.
With the style of this family, it is indeed unlikely to allow students from their subordinate colleges to team up with others as pendants.
A month passed quickly, and the preliminaries in Tiandou City were all over.
According to the process, an award ceremony will be held soon to issue qualification certificates for the top five teams in the preliminaries.
The process of the ceremony was not complicated. Under the announcement of the host, the captains and vice-captains of the top five teams walked onto the rostrum together.
Among them, Tiandou Royal Academy ranked first, Shenfeng Academy ranked second, Leiting Academy ranked third, Shrek Academy ranked fourth, and Tianshui Academy ranked fifth.
Su Cheng and Ning Rongrong are representatives of Tiandou Royal Academy.
Not far away are Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San, who represent the Shrek Academy team.
During this process, Tang San, as the deputy captain of the Shrek team, looked at him from time to time, which seemed to imply provocation.
Tang San's current cultivation has reached the promotion threshold of level 40.
While waiting for the promotion match, he will do his best to add soul rings to the Clear Sky Hammer.
He also believes that he will be able to shine in the next stage of the competition.
As the captain, Zhu Zhuqing always ignored Su Cheng on the other side when she went on stage, as if he didn't exist at all.
It was just that when Su Cheng looked at her, there seemed to be a faint blush on her cheeks.
As the representatives of several teams stood on the rostrum, the host said: "Next, your majesty, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's Sect Master Ning, and the Platinum Bishop Saras will personally present the qualification certificates and prizes for the five teams that entered the promotion match."
Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi both cast satisfied glances at Su Cheng and Ning Rongrong.
Emperor Xue Ye, in particular, had a fiery glow in his eyes that was barely concealed.
On the other side, Saras, the representative of the Spirit Hall, lowered his eyebrows, as if he was oblivious to all the scenes.
But from an angle where no one was paying attention, he was also looking at Su Cheng not far ahead with his peripheral vision from time to time.
The qualification certificate for promotion is actually a handwritten note, which is more like a formality. After all, everyone knows clearly which academy has obtained the qualification for promotion.
The top five academies received the same prize money, 10,000 gold soul coins issued by the Tiandou Empire, and in the finals, the prizes for the top three will be provided by the Spirit Hall.
The award ceremony ended quickly, and Su Cheng and Ning Rongrong walked out of the Tiandou Great Soul Fighting Arena together. Others in the academy were waiting for them outside.
"Emperor Xue Ye is really generous. He directly granted the title of Viscount to ten people, and if they win, they can be promoted to the next level, and they are directly given fiefdoms. Was it the same in the empire before?"
Su Cheng looked at the certificate in his hand and asked casually.
He really didn't pay much attention to the rewards of the competition before.
Anyway, this time I didn't participate in the competition for these rewards.
"No." Ning Rongrong shook her head, "Let alone Viscount, there has never been a Baron, even the title given to soul masters is just a noble title without a fiefdom."
After saying that, she turned her head and looked around. After finding that there was no one around, she continued in a low voice: "I heard from my father that the conflict between the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall has become more and more intense, almost to the point of being irreconcilable."
Su Cheng frowned when he heard this.
It's not that he has doubts about the relationship between the Spirit Hall and the Empire.
But it was a bit strange, why did Ning Fengzhi tell Ning Rongrong these things.
Was he saying this to himself?
"Su Cheng!"
Just as he was thinking, a sudden voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Su Cheng looked back and saw that the person who called him was a very beautiful girl, tall and well-proportioned, with long red hair like a burning fire.
It was Huo Wu, the control spirit master of the Blazing Academy team who had fought against him before.
The other party's martial spirit is the same as Feng Qingyu's, with her own shadow as the main body, but the attributes are different and the talent is much worse.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Wu stared at Su Cheng and said in a deep voice: "If we join the Tiandou Royal Team, can we play as the main force?"
Now the journey of the Soul Master Competition of Chihuo Academy has been declared over in advance.
Although they defeated Xiangjia Academy, they failed to beat the other several elemental academies, and lost to the Shrek Academy team and Tiandou Royal Academy team, so they naturally missed the finals.
This was a big blow to the arrogant Huo Wu.
Before, Su Cheng did conduct routine recruitment after the battle.
But the problem was that he only gave two substitutes at the time, which seemed to Huo Wu to be completely insincere, so how could she be willing to accept it.
For this reason, she was depressed for a long time.
Su Cheng glanced at her, then looked at Huo Wushuang who was smiling helplessly beside her, and shook his head gently.
He said frankly: "I can't guarantee it. If Shui Bing'er from Tianshui College joins, you can only play as substitutes."
Feng Qingyu is enough for the research of shadow martial spirit.
If team combat is considered, there is no need for too many control-type soul masters in the team.
If Shui Bing'er can join the team, Huo Wu will naturally no longer be needed, and it will be difficult for ice and fire to cooperate.
Compared to the surprise brought by Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's martial spirit fusion skill, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu are obviously too far behind, and it is obvious what choice to make.
What's more, Shui Bing'er can help him practice.
But Shui Bing'er has not given a definite answer until now.
Su Cheng is not in a hurry about this, and it is still in time to talk about it after the promotion game.
Huo Wu was furious when she heard this.
The other party's remarks at this time obviously think that her strength is much worse, but there is no better way to deal with it.
Su Cheng didn't care, but nodded to Huo Wushuang beside her.
"Captain Huo, my previous promise is still valid. If you are interested in participating in the finals, you can consider coming to me."
"Okay, you should do your best too." Huo Wushuang smiled.
He didn't feel disgusted by Su Cheng's words.
The soul master competition is based on strength, from team selection to step-by-step promotion.
Since Chihuo Academy was eliminated, it proves that their skills are inferior to others, there is nothing to say.
They are even willing to give them a substitute spot, which is already very good.
He doesn't think that with Su Cheng's terrifying strength, he really needs any teammates to help him in the subsequent battles.
"Who does he think he is!" After Su Cheng left, Huo Wu said angrily.
"It's the same if we go to Shenfeng Academy. And we can also play as the main force and cooperate with their soul skills. Feng Xiaotian will definitely agree."
Hearing this, Huo Wushuang was stunned.
He glanced at his sister beside him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
This is an idea.
The next stage of the promotion competition will be held in a month, and this period of time can give the team members of each academy enough time to fully adjust their status.
One month later, the promotion competition will still be held in the Tiandou Empire, but the venue will be changed from the Tiandou Great Fighting Soul Arena to the Royal Paddock. At that time, the ten teams from the five principalities and kingdoms that passed the preliminaries will also participate together.
However, this should be the least important part of the entire competition system.
The final places have been determined, and the ranking of the promotion competition can only help the team gain a slight advantage in the final.
Unlike the preliminaries, the promotion competition is a personal arena battle, and the battle will be conducted according to the list submitted for each game.
Su Cheng has made up his mind to see the situation and mainly fish at that time. As for the final ranking of the team, it is not important at all.
Unlike him, this is a good opportunity for other team members.
In addition to competing with the best of their peers and accumulating experience, there are also extra rewards.
The Tiandou Empire has promised that the top three students who have won the most games in the promotion match will have their soul beasts provided by the empire for the next promotion, and soul beasts with a cultivation level of less than 30,000 years can be selected at will.
At night, Shrek Academy.
Without anyone noticing, a tall figure quietly appeared in Yu Xiaogang's room.
The man was wearing a simple gray robe, with messy black hair draped over his shoulders, and his old face was full of vicissitudes.
"Master."
The voice of the person who came was low and hoarse.
But as soon as Yu Xiaogang heard this voice, he immediately recognized the other party's true identity.
They had met more than once before.
"Your Majesty Haotian."
Yu Xiaogang hurriedly stood up to greet him.
Tang Hao waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.
Then he whispered: "Are you going to let Xiao San start practicing the Clear Sky Hammer now?"
Although he didn't always stay by Tang San's side, he often paid attention to Tang San's progress in practice.
Naturally, he would not be unaware of the changes in his son's mentality in recent days.
After all, with Yu Xiaogang's return from the Spirit Hall, it was no longer a secret in the academy that Tang San was going to switch to practicing Clear Sky Hammer.
"Indeed."
Hearing the other party's question, Yu Xiaogang's expression became serious.
He recounted the conversation that had taken place between him and Tang San, as well as his decision on the golden period of spirit master training.
At the end, he added: "I made a special trip to meet a person for this purpose and learned more about the key to the cultivation of twin martial souls. There is no problem in letting Xiao San start using the Clear Sky Hammer now."
After Tang Hao was silent for a moment, he said in a hoarse voice: "But I'm afraid you don't know that Xiaosan's Blue Silver Grass martial spirit is not that simple. It is not an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, but a Blue Silver Emperor, which can compete with Hao A top-notch martial spirit comparable to the Sky Hammer."
"Blue Silver Emperor? What kind of martial spirit is that?"
Yu Xiaogang believed that he had a deep knowledge of martial arts and had read a lot of relevant information. He was familiar with all martial arts, but he had never heard of a martial spirit called Blue Silver Emperor, which was transformed from Blue Silver Grass. Come, it can be compared with the top martial spirit Haotian Hammer.
"The emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan, the only one among the countless Blue Silver Grasses." Tang Hao said slowly, with a complex tone that seemed to contain deep pain, "The Blue Silver Emperor will always be of the same blood in this world. Everyone is the same. There is only one Blue Silver Emperor in a generation."
Looking at his expression, Yu Xiaogang felt something vaguely and suddenly said: "That's Xiaosan's -"
"Those have nothing to do with this matter." Tang Hao waved his hand and interrupted the other party's words rudely. His emotions seemed to be out of control for a moment.
Then he quickly calmed down and whispered: "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I understand." Yu Xiaogang's eyes flashed with pain when he saw this, feeling that their experiences might be somewhat similar.
Then he pondered and said: "Blue Silver Emperor... But according to my observation, there is nothing special about Xiao San's martial spirit."
"This is normal, because his martial spirit is not yet the true Blue Silver Emperor, or it is still far from it." Tang Hao said lightly, "His martial spirit needs to be awakened again before he can become a true blue silver emperor." Blue Silver Emperor, that is the real top martial spirit.”
"That's it." Yu Xiaogang suddenly realized, feeling very mysterious.
He quickly asked: "When can I wake up?"
Since Tang Hao said this, the awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor's martial spirit must require some prerequisites, otherwise there is no need to wait until now to let Tang San use the Blue Silver Emperor to practice and fight.
Sure enough, Tang Hao immediately replied: "Judging from Xiao San's spiritual power growth rate, it will take at least level 60 to have a chance of awakening, and it's not very sure yet. Maybe it needs a head soul bone."
He knew everything about Yu Xiaogang's problems.
Tang Hao knew very well that although he was extremely talented in cultivation, his knowledge of martial arts was extremely shallow. At least he thought he was far behind Yu Xiaogang.
So what we can do now is to tell Yu Xiaogang all this information, and then let the other party design Tang San's future development route.
"Level sixty..."
After hearing this threshold, Yu Xiaogang's already stiff cheeks became more serious.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Tang Hao solemnly.
"Your Majesty Haotian, you may not know that my initial expectation for Xiao San was to wait until he reaches level 60 to start practicing the Haotian Hammer."
"oh?"
Tang Hao was a little surprised when he heard this.
He himself hadn't thought about this in detail.
His idea was simple, since Tang San had the talent of twin martial spirits. Then practice the Blue Silver Grass first, and then practice the Clear Sky Hammer as you level up. You can add high-end soul rings to your heart's content, and your combat power will definitely far exceed that of the same level.
When the time comes to face the Wuhun Palace, he will be able to fight and complete his revenge.
As for how he should practice during this period, what risks were involved, and whether this decision should be taken for granted, he had not considered it carefully at all.
After thinking about it, Tang Hao asked doubtfully: "Why don't you wait until he becomes a Titled Douluo before you can practice the Clear Sky Hammer?"
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
“It’s not as simple as imagined.
“The first is the issue of physical endurance.
"Everyone knows that soul masters attach soul rings to enhance various attributes of the body. However, the increase of various attributes is a good thing for ordinary soul masters, but when the attributes are enhanced to a certain level, the body cannot When tolerated, benefits turn into disasters.
"When a soul master reaches level 60, even if the first martial soul has the best configuration of soul rings, it is not enough to allow the soul master's physical endurance to reach the upper limit. At this time, the second martial soul is cultivated, and a large number of ten thousand year soul rings are added. Chance to succeed.
"But if you wait until level 90, the difficulty will suddenly increase, and your life may be in danger."
"It's so..." Tang Hao's eyes widened slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel scared.
"But this is not the most critical issue." Yu Xiaogang shook his head, "After I learned about the cultivation method of twin martial arts some time ago, this matter is not completely unsolvable."
He stared at Tang Hao.
"The most important thing is that Blue Silver Grass itself is recognized as a useless martial spirit. It has insufficient cultivation potential. It will take too long to reach level 60. At that time, it will be really difficult to practice the Clear Sky Hammer. Is it too late?
"You know, the difficulty of leveling up after level 60 is many times higher than before. Even if you switch to the Clear Sky Hammer to practice, or the awakened Blue Silver Emperor to practice, it will probably be too late.
"The best age for soul masters to practice has been completely missed."
After hearing this, Tang Hao couldn't help but fell silent, his expression serious.
"Of course, now that we know that Xiao San's number one martial spirit is actually the Blue Silver Emperor, which is not weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer, it will be easier."
At this time, Yu Xiaogang's expression became much calmer.
"We can let Xiao San practice with the Clear Sky Hammer first.
"After he is promoted to Soul Sect normally, he actually has the opportunity to try to add a ten thousand year soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer directly.
"There is a student in our college team whose fourth soul ring is at the ten thousand year level. Xiao San is actually adding a ten thousand year soul ring based on the fourth soul ring of a thousand years, which is more feasible.
"Then, after he uses the Clear Sky Hammer to practice to level 60, we can help him awaken the Blue Silver Emperor martial spirit. Isn't that also a great way?
"You can even use the Clear Sky Hammer to practice to the Titled Douluo directly, and then add a high-year soul ring to the Blue Silver Emperor."
"Yes!" Tang Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, "You are indeed worthy of the name of Master, you are really wise."
Since he entered the room, his extremely cold face finally showed some joy.
Although it was an extremely subtle change, it finally diluted a lot of gloom.
At this time, Yu Xiaogang's expression suddenly moved.
"Your Majesty Haotian, can we take Xiao San to try the martial soul awakening you just mentioned?"
"Hmm?" Tang Hao was stunned, "Is this necessary?"
"Although practicing the Clear Sky Hammer first is a solution, it would definitely be a better choice if we can continue to practice the first martial soul first. In this way, the advantages of Xiao San's twin martial souls can be brought into play to the greatest extent."
I have social events today, so I can't spend 10,000 yuan a day, I'm really sorry.
