Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 230

[Chapter 230 Top Ten Conditions]

On the training ground, the Prince of Changping had not landed yet.

Behind the stands, Zhao Lingyin and Princess Minghe stared blankly at the field. They knew that Lin Xiu had made a breakthrough, but they did not expect that he would be so powerful after the breakthrough. Doesn’t it mean that if they were to go on the field, they would have the same fate as the Prince of Changping?

In front of the stands, several priests who served as referees finally reacted and asked loudly: “Prince of Changping, do you admit defeat?”

The Prince of Changping is a user of the Earth Art. His defense is not weaker than that of a ground-level warrior. Even if he is beaten like this, he can still hold on for a while.

So they can’t just declare him the loser.

Flying in the air, the Prince of Changping felt his armor being broken again and again. Every time a huge force was transmitted into his body, making his internal organs churn. He wanted to resist, but he couldn’t touch the ground at all.

After being knocked away again, he could only muster up his last bit of strength and said with infinite frustration: “I… admit defeat!”

Bang!

The Prince of Changping finally landed.

His heart was full of humiliation.

He wanted to show Zhao Lingjun, Qin Wan, and Xue Ning’er what kind of waste the person they chose was. He had already planned to bury Lin Xiu in the ground as soon as the competition started, leaving only his head exposed.

He would walk over, step on his head, and ask him if he admitted defeat.

He thought of many ways to insult him, but he never thought that he was the one who could not come down from the sky.

The Prince of Changping got up from the ground, limped, and left the training ground silently. He thought people would look at him with strange eyes, but found that no one cared about him at all. Everyone’s eyes were on that man.

This not only did not comfort him, but made him feel more ashamed.

These attentions, these honors, should have belonged to him.

He regretted it.

This was his last chance to participate in the competition. As long as he won one more game, he would be qualified for the competition, but now he had no chance.

He did not stay to watch the game. He wanted to wait until he defeated Lin Xiu with great difficulty to take a good look at the expressions of Zhao Lingjun and others. Now he naturally had no face and left the training ground in disgrace.

When Lin Xiu walked back to the stands, almost everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

The Prince of Changping humiliated himself, and Lin Xiu did not give him face.

He should remember this day forever.

Similarly, this competition is also an opportunity for him to truly show his strength in front of everyone.

For the sake of showing it to Old Duke Xue, and for more people to see.

He wants people to remember not only the husband of Zhao Lingjun, but also the name of Lin Xiu.

Passing by the Zhang brothers, Zhang Ren stood up and said, “You are very strong. It is not unfair for Zhang Xin to lose to you. Even if he does not use his ability, he is not your opponent.”

Lin Xiu saw recognition in his eyes. This person gave Lin Xiu a much better feeling than Zhang San.

Zhang Ren spoke again and continued, “You are worthy of being Zhao Lingjun’s husband.”

The good impression that Lin Xiu had just established on him disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Lin Xiu silently returned to his seat. He drew the number 12 yesterday, and Princess Minghe drew the number 13. After his competition, Princess Minghe was next.

The Prince of Jiangning and she had already walked to the training ground. Zhao Lingyin touched Lin Xiu with her arm and asked, “Your martial arts also broke through the earth level. When did it happen?”

Lin Xiu said, “When I was out practicing, I broke through with the strange arts.”

Zhao Lingyin’s lips moved, not knowing what to say.

The strange arts were earth level, and the martial arts were also earth level. Even her sister couldn’t do it, but when she thought of the efforts Lin Xiu had made for this, she felt that everything was taken for granted.

He often practiced all night and slept for less than an hour every day. Who could be as desperate and hard as him?

She did practice with Lin Xiu at first, but then she fell asleep for some reason. When she woke up, it was already the next morning, sleeping in her own bed.

Qianye Lin also had the same feeling.

She thought she was very hardworking in her practice, until she met Lin Xiu.

Her so-called hard work was not even half as hard as his.

Perhaps, only such a person is worthy of Zhao Lingjun.

At this time, Lin Xiu’s attention was on Princess Minghe.

She had drawn another prince of the royal family by her own ability. If she had not made a breakthrough the day before, she would have been eliminated today. Even if she advanced, it would not be foolproof for her to advance smoothly. The

ground that was just destroyed by the Prince of Changping had been repaired by an earth-based priest. This was not the arena of the martial arts academy. The chaotic battles between people with various abilities often destroyed the ground.

Around the training ground, there were priests who were specifically responsible for leveling the ground.

On the training ground, the Prince of Jiangning looked at Princess Minghe and said with a smile: “Royal sister, you should admit defeat. I’m worried that I will hurt you later.”

Princess Minghe said: “See if you have the ability.” The Prince

of Jiangning smiled, and several vines suddenly emerged from the ground, trying to bind her directly.

These vines are very tough. Once they are entangled, they can never get out.

At this time, flames spread out from under Princess Minghe’s feet, and those vines instantly turned into fire snakes. After struggling for a few times, they collapsed and dissipated.

The face of the King of Jiangning changed slightly, and he was shocked: “You are also at the Earth level?”

With the power of the Xuan level, it is impossible to burn the wooden vines that he condensed with the power in an instant. Minghe’s ability is fire, which just restrains his ability. If her cultivation is similar to his, this competition will become extremely difficult.

In the stands, Zhao Lingyin was also a little surprised and asked: “When did she break through?”

Lin Xiu said: “Yesterday.”

Zhao Lingyin glanced at him and asked: “How do you know?”

Lin Xiu said, “I was by her side when she broke through, and I gave her those Yuan Crystals.”

Zhao Lingyin was surprised and asked, “You gave her all those Yuan Crystals?”

Lin Xiu explained, “It’s not really giving. Each Yuan Crystal is worth 100,000 taels of silver to her, and she now owes me 400,000 taels of silver.”

Zhao Lingyin felt a little happy when she heard Lin Xiu say that.

When he gave her things, he never mentioned the matter of silver.

Whether it was weapons made of meteorites, Yuan Crystals, or cultivation opportunities that could not be measured by silver.

She was different from Princess Minghe.

But she soon thought of another point.

Qin Wan only owed him 10,000 taels, and she had almost lost everything. Princess Minghe owed him 400,000 taels of silver. How could she pay it back? It was not something she could afford by washing clothes and cooking…

Lin Xiu didn’t know that Lingyin was worrying about Minghe’s debt for him. He had been paying attention to the situation on the field.

Behind Princess Minghe, a pair of flaming wings condensed, floating in the air several feet high.

The ground of the training ground had become a sea of fire, with countless vines struggling in the flames. The ability of the King of Jiangning was actually a bit difficult to deal with. Lin Xiu had fought with people with wood-type abilities before, and once she was entangled by these vines, she would lose the power to resist.

Those vines were extremely powerful and difficult to break free of.

Princess Minghe was obviously aware of this, so she condensed her wings at the beginning and occupied the commanding heights. The King of Jiangning could not do anything to him, but was trapped by the flames. He could only retreat step by step. If he took another step back, he would have to retreat outside the competition area.

In the end, he could only admit defeat helplessly.

He was still feeling sorry for the King of Changping just now, but he didn’t expect that it would be his turn so soon.

Several priests outside the field were also speechless.

In two competitions, three seeds of the Earth Rank were eliminated. This had never happened before.

A servant said, “I’m afraid this matter needs to be reported to the palace…”

In the imperial study, Emperor Xia was looking at a picture album. Zhu Jin walked in from outside and said, “Your Majesty, news has come from the training ground that Her Royal Highness the Princess defeated the Prince of Jiangning and has qualified for the competition.”

Emperor Xia closed the picture album, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, “Minghe’s talent is the highest among all the princes and princesses. I wonder if I can see her advance to the Heavenly Rank in my lifetime…”

At this time, Zhu Jin said again, “There is one more thing. Lin Xiu eliminated the Prince of Changping and also qualified for the competition.”

Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment and asked, “You said Lin Xiu defeated Li Xuan?”

Zhu Jin said, “Not only defeated, the Prince of Changping had no power to fight back in his hands. It was simply horrible.”

Emperor Xia said lightly, “Li Xuan brought this humiliation upon himself, and he can’t blame anyone else.”

However, although it was the Prince of Changping who asked for trouble this time, three Earth-rank seeds of Da Xia were eliminated this time, and he accounted for two of them. If he didn’t know Lin Xiu very well, he would have enough reason to suspect that he was an undercover sent by another country.

Emperor Xia thought for a moment and said, “Call him to me.”

On the training ground, Lin Xiu was looking for abilities. Zhu Jin suddenly appeared and asked him to come to the palace, saying that His Majesty summoned him.

Lin Xiu had no choice but to go to the palace with him, walked into the imperial study, and said, “Your Majesty.”

Emperor Xia glanced at him and asked unhappily, “Why didn’t you say earlier that you were at the Earth Level? If you had said it earlier, we wouldn’t have had such internal friction among the geniuses of Daxia…”

Lin Xiu said innocently, “Your Majesty, this can’t be blamed on me. I also broke through two days ago…”

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, “I don’t care about these. You eliminated the people. You caused the court and the royal family to suffer huge losses. I allow you to make up for your mistakes. If you can’t win the top ten of the Tianjiao list in this competition, don’t come back to see me…”

Lin Xiu was speechless. It was obviously the Prince of Changping who asked for it, but he was blamed instead.

The dog emperor had a good plan.

He wanted to get something for nothing.

Old Duke Xue knew that in order for him to enter the top ten of the Tianjiao list, he had to give up a granddaughter, so he also had to give up something, otherwise, why would Lin Xiu work so hard?

He just wanted him to help with something.

He looked at Emperor Xia and said, “Your Majesty, if I can enter the top ten of the Tianjiao list, can Your Majesty promise me two things?”

Emperor Xia sneered and said, “You still want to negotiate with me, tell me, I’ll listen first.”

Lin Xiu said, “I want Your Majesty to grant me two more marriages.”

Emperor Xia was stunned, and then he couldn’t help but said, “Another marriage, twice. I have already granted you two marriages and asked the Ministry of Rites to help you hold two weddings. You are still not satisfied. Do I have to create a department in the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for your marriage?”

Lin Xiu said solemnly, “I dare not have such extravagant demands. Even if Your Majesty does not agree to me, I will go all out to strive to get a good ranking in the competition. However, when the competition is held, all the countries on the continent and the Tianjiao will gather, and I am not very sure. Your Majesty had better not place too much hope on me…”

Emperor Xia glanced at him and went all out. Go all out.

He didn’t know Lin Xiu yet. If he didn’t give him some benefits, he would not work seriously.

Emperor Xia thought for a moment and said, “No more than once.”

Lin Xiu clasped his fists again and said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. What about the prodigies of other countries? There is still half a year. I will practice hard. I think it will not be difficult to get the tenth place. I will definitely live up to your trust…”

Emperor Xia was silent for a moment and said, “Twice.”

Lin Xiu said solemnly, “If I work harder, it should not be a problem to get into the top five.”

Emperor Xia was silent again and asked, “Three times?”

Lin Xiu thought for a moment and asked, “The first one is unlikely, is the second one okay?”

His thoughts were not going smoothly. The second one will be a little later today.
