Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 235

[Chapter 235 This is friendship!]

South City, on the parade ground.

After several days of competition, 700 of the 800 participants have been eliminated, leaving only 100 people who can participate in the next few rounds of competition.

Two rounds of competition will be held this morning and afternoon. In

the first round, 50 people will be eliminated from the 100 people.

In the second round, half of the 50 people will be eliminated, leaving only the last 25 people to participate in tomorrow’s competition.

After three rounds of competition, there are not many people who are still eligible to participate in the competition. There is no need to reserve a whole day to draw lots, but to draw lots on the spot at the entrance of the parade ground.

A young man looked happy and asked his companion beside him: “I drew number 41, how many is yours?”

His companion looked bitter and sighed: “Number 2…”

“Haha, I drew number 30, not the ground level.”

“Who is number 17? It seems to be Miss Zhao’s husband. It’s over, it’s over. I can’t come down from heaven…”

…

After the draw, naturally some people are happy and some are sad.

Lin Xiu and Ling Yin had already arrived at the stands beside the first and second training grounds. Today’s competition was relatively easy for them, but tomorrow would not be so easy. In tomorrow’s competition, there would be a meeting between earth-level and earth-level. Even if they only lost one game, their road to the small competition would end.

And their numbers would be rearranged according to their performance in these competitions. No one knew what kind of opponents they would meet at that time.

After a while, Murong Yu and Shuangshuang came from a distance with the ordinary-dressed imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine did not wear palace clothes today. She wore a plain white dress with only a few tassels. She did not wear any of the exquisite hair accessories in the palace. She only used a simple hairpin. She looked like an ordinary little lady.

But ordinary little ladies were not as beautiful as her.

Nor did they have her temperament.

She stood with Shuangshuang and Murong Yu, and she could not tell that she was more than ten years older than them. Seeing the complexion of the imperial concubine, Lin Xiu knew that it was right to let Murong Yu meet her. Family affection was indispensable to everyone.

Lin Xiu asked Murong Yu, “What number did you draw?”

Murong Yu said, “Eleven.”

After watching the competition for several days, Lin Xiu had an understanding of all the earth-level seeds. Murong Yu drew number eleven, which was a good or bad luck.

Drawing the earth-level, luck is naturally not good.

However, number eleven is Wei Yun from the Weiguo Mansion. His ability is the same as Princess Minghe. Wind against fire has a natural advantage, but Wei Yun is stronger and has a stronger ability to control fire. This weak advantage will be directly wiped out under absolute strength. The

imperial concubine asked her, “Can you win?”

Murong Yu smiled and said, “I’m not sure, I’ll do my best. Anyway, I’ve got a place in the big competition. I’ll try to be promoted to the earth-level before the big competition.”

Murong Yu’s idea is not wrong, but if you can enter the top ten or the top twenty, the court will focus on training in the next six months.

Lin Xiu glanced at Murong Yu and asked, “Have you reached a bottleneck in your practice of the strange arts?”

Murong Yu nodded and said, “It’s just that there is no opportunity for a breakthrough.”

Her talent for practice is really good, not inferior to Minghe and Lingyin, and even better than them. After all, she can’t practice dual cultivation. If she can practice to this level at this age, when she grows up a few more years, she will definitely have a place on the Tianjiao list.

Lin Xiu symbolically made a gesture of reaching into her arms, took out the last fifth-order Yuan crystal, handed it to her, and said, “There is only this one, try it.”

Murong Yu looked at this fifth-order Yuan crystal and was slightly surprised.

In the past two months, her father and grandfather have also been buying fifth-order Yuan crystals at high prices, and the bid has even reached 150,000 taels, but they haven’t bought even one. Wangdu is worthy of being the capital, and fifth-order Yuan crystals can be taken out casually.

She did have a strong desire to break through, so she didn’t refuse, but said, “I will write a letter to my family and ask my father to send 150,000 taels of silver here.”

Princess Minghe listened not far away and felt a little ashamed.

The woman directly offered a price of 150,000 taels. Lin Xiu only counted one Yuanjing as 100,000 taels for her. He really took good care of her. If he also counted her 150,000 taels, wouldn’t she owe him 600,000 taels? On the basis of 400 years, she would have to pay for another 200 years…

Hey, she still had to use some of her monthly pocket money. If she calculated it this way, she might not be able to pay off his debt in less than a thousand years.

This made her start to worry again.

The imperial concubine originally wanted to say that she would pay the 150,000 taels back to Lin Xiu on behalf of Xiao Yu’er.

Every month, she would get a large sum of silver from Ningxiangzhai. She didn’t have any big expenses in the palace, and she should have saved a lot now.

But thinking that her silver was also given by Lin Xiu, she was a little speechless.

Using his money and paying his money back, what’s the big deal…

But Lin Xiu waved his hand at Murong Yu and said, “No need, I owe you a favor. This Yuanjing is my way of repaying your favor.”

Murong Yu was thinking back, when did Lin Xiu owe her a favor?

The two had only known each other for one day.

Could it be that he was talking about his aunt?

This was an opportunity for his aunt to reconcile with the Murong family. If it came to favors, it should be that she and the Murong family owed him. What identity and position did he use to say this?

But at this moment, she didn’t have time to think about it.

If she couldn’t break through, she wouldn’t be sure of winning against the real earth level.

So she walked to the corner, closed her eyes and began to concentrate, adjusting her state and preparing for the breakthrough.

When Lin Xiu walked to the other side, Princess Minghe whispered, “Who is she?”

Although Lingyin and Ning’er didn’t ask Lin Xiu, they all looked over.

Lin Xiu said, “Her name is Murong Yu, the niece of the imperial concubine. In fact, she should be your cousin.”

Murong Yu’s grandmother and Princess Minghe’s grandfather were siblings from the same mother. Naturally, they were related. Speaking of which, the talent for supernatural arts in their lineage seemed to be inherited from the previous generation.

The generation of Emperor Xia and the imperial concubine didn’t have any supernatural abilities, but Princess Minghe and Murong Yu were both talented.

Princess Minghe looked at Murong Yu and muttered, “If a Yuanjing cannot break through, I will owe others 150,000 taels of silver. It is better to practice on my own. There is still half a year before the competition…”

She has the most say in this matter.

As soon as she finished speaking, a breeze suddenly blew by her side.

Although it was not yet noon, the sun had risen and it was already a bit hot. This breeze brought a cool feeling to everyone.

Most people felt comfortable and did not notice anything unusual.

Song Yuzhang looked back, and his eyes finally locked onto a girl in the corner of the stands. Surprise appeared in his eyes. She actually broke through in the training ground, and it was the power of the wind system. Although he didn’t know who her opponent was, it was foreseeable that that person would be in trouble.

Princess Minghe stared at Murong Yu in the corner with a dull look, and murmured: “Breakthrough just now?”

She must have felt it wrong.

How could someone break through with only one Yuanjing?

Impossible.

Absolutely impossible.

Breaking through with a few Yuanjings is actually a matter of luck. Lin Xiu said: “Some people have good luck, some have bad luck, this is normal. When Lingyin broke through, she only used one.”

“Don’t say it…”

Princess Minghe silently moved away from Lin Xiu and sat in a certain position, with a melancholy look on her face.

Lin Xiu walked to Murong Yu and said: “Congratulations.”

Murong Yu also said to him: “Thank you.”

At this time, the drums on the training ground sounded, and the competition had begun.

The competition of 100 people was still divided into ten training grounds, and each training ground needed to hold five competitions.

The competition had just begun, and a dramatic scene appeared in the first training ground.

The five people who were drawn to the first training ground all announced that they had given up.

Zhao Lingjun, Qianye Lin, Zhang Ren, Song Yuzhang, and Qin Wan directly advanced to the next round.

Except for Qin Wan, the other four were all in the top 20 of the last Tianjiao list. After three years, their strength must have been stronger. Not to mention the people of the Xuan level, even other earth-level seeds would be crushed against them.

As for Qin Wan.

To this day, she is still shrouded in a mysterious veil in people’s hearts.

The mysterious ability and the bizarre performance of her opponents in the training ground made many people wary of her, even more than the other four.

When Zhao Lingjun’s opponent chose to give up, the other four also decisively gave up.

In the second training ground, the first person to compete was Zhang Yi of the Zhang family, followed by Lingyin and Ning’er. In the

third training ground, Murong Yu was the first to go on stage, and she was fighting against the genius of the Wei family.

Lin Xiu and the imperial concubine’s attention was also on this training ground.

Wei Yun’s move was a powerful killing move. He summoned a huge fireball and flew towards Murong Yu. Although she dodged it with her flexible body, the fireball exploded violently after landing. The entire competition area was burning with flames.

Only the position where Murong Yu was standing could not be approached by the flames.

A wind wall was in a stalemate with the spreading flames, and no one could go any further.

The next moment, a rain of fire suddenly fell from the sky.

The imperial concubine was anxious and clenched her skirt with both hands. Lin Xiu comforted her, “Don’t worry, her majesty, she won’t lose so easily.”

Before he finished speaking, the rain of fire had been blown to pieces by the strong wind, and on the training ground, Wei Yun’s expression became more solemn. He raised his hands horizontally, and the flames burning on the ground soon condensed into a huge fire tornado, whistling towards Murong Yu.

Murong Yu stretched out her hand, and a tornado soon condensed in front of her.

On the training ground, the fire tornado met the wind tornado, and both were annihilated, with a violent fluctuation of energy.

At this time, Murong Yu had turned into a residual image and attacked Wei Yun.

In addition to being an earth-level wind-type magician, she is also an excellent warrior.

Wei Yun was not careful and was approached by her within ten feet.

His face changed slightly, and a wall of fire immediately appeared in front of him. The wall of fire took the initiative to meet Murong Yu. At the same time, he quickly retreated.

However, the next moment, a gap appeared on the wall of fire.

Murong Yu split the wall of fire with a sword, and the tip of the sword pointed at Wei Yun’s throat.

The flames on the training ground gradually went out. Wei Yun raised his hands and said helplessly: “I lost…”

On the stands, Princess Minghe’s expression was also a little gloomy.

Lin Xiu heard her muttering, “What a broken ability, it’s restrained by water, ice, and wind. She broke through first, but she can’t beat him…”

Wei Yun had been promoted to the Earth Level for a year longer than her, but she was no match for Murong Yu who had just broken through.

If she met Murong Yu, she would definitely lose, and she would lose more directly.

This made her feel that the power of fire was useless, as if anyone could restrain it.

Having awakened the fire technique, Wei Yun’s failure made her feel sad.

Murong Yu won, and the imperial concubine was very happy. Others in the stands were also surprised by Murong Yu’s performance. It seemed that Daxia had produced another extraordinary genius.

Only Lin Xiu noticed Princess Minghe.

Only he knew that although she was arrogant on weekdays, her self-esteem was actually more fragile than anyone else. When

Wei Yun lost, she must have thought of herself.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Lin Xiu felt some pity in his heart.

Water and fire are actually not weak, and their destructive power is amazing, but they are not suitable for single combat.

He looked at the dejected Minghe, and his heart softened.

He hated to see girls like this. When

she acted like this, Lin Xiu softened his heart.

When he softened his heart, he wanted to help her.

Otherwise, wait until the right time, and give her another ability?

As soon as this thought arose, it was forcibly extinguished by Lin Xiu.

No, no, no, they are friends, and friends cannot do this.

This is friendship, one of the few pure friendships he has!
