On the day that Su Mu was also selected to take the stage, the battle in the first round of the semi-finals was completely over.

The remaining 24 contestants will continue the second round tomorrow.

As the number of participants decreases, in fact, every competition itself will have a very high gold content.

Except for existences like Su Mu and Qin Wudi, who are obviously much stronger than others, in fact, every contestant after arriving here does not have the confidence and guarantee to win.

Therefore, after the conference of the day, the students of the three major academies who quickly returned to the station did not hesitate to throw themselves into the arms of the training ground.

Don't seek any improvement, but also maintain the best state of preparation.

But at this moment, when Su Mu was also about to go to the training ground together, trying to continue practicing the ancient fighting skills that he had just realized.

The figure that made Su Mu annoyed and missed came again in the company of Qin Dong again.

Regarding the appearance of the imperial princess Su Tong, the mission of the Academy of Magic is really accustomed to it.

Although Su Tong returned to the empire, of course, it was not convenient for him to live in the mission, so he could only temporarily move back to a royal palace to live.

But because of this relationship with Su Mu, Su Mu stayed in the mission most of the time.

Now seeing that Su Tong came again, the porter didn't even notify him, and he had already quickly led Su Tong to the guest room commonly used by Su Mu and the others.

After all, the gatehouse of the annex where the academy lives is actually also a resident of the empire.

As a resident of the empire, he certainly wouldn't stop his princess from seeing his fiancé.

......

Seeing Su Tong coming, Su Mu had already subconsciously wanted to send someone to call Lu Xi.

One is because Su Mu doesn't know how to get along with him alone, and the other is because Su Tong's arrival often carries important information, so letting Lu Xi know is of course more conducive to promoting communication.

But the strange thing is that for Su Mu's subconscious actions, Su Tong silently stopped Su Mu's behavior.

Instead, he let Qin Dong guard the door of the guest room, and then turned to Su Mu and said:

"What I'm going to say has nothing to do with Sister Lu Xi, and it has nothing to do with everyone in this mission, it's just about you and me, so there's no need to bother them any more. ”

As Su Tong's words fell, Su Mu frowned slightly.

In this situation, Su Mu certainly did not understand Su Tong's true meaning, and he did not think about it in a more ambiguous way at all.

Because as one of the people who know Su Tong best at present, Su Mudang understands:

Su Tong is ...... in essence Not a joker!

Since Su Tong's expression was so serious at this time, it meant that the topic that Su Tong was going to say next would inevitably be an extremely difficult question.

Sure enough, when he saw Su Mu, he instantly understood his feelings.

For some reason, Su Tong suddenly relaxed a little, and then said softly:

"You haven't forgotten that I said that the Flame Blade Candle Shadow is only a part of a blade. And it was precisely because you openly used the candle shadow the day before yesterday that you finally reminded my father of this matter. Therefore, my father and eldest brother will probably use some form of excuse to create difficulties for us to leave the empire again. ”

When Su Mu heard this, his expression was slightly puzzled.

And Su Tong also explained again:

"The reason why the Flame Blade Candle Shadow is used as one of the tools to canonize the horse is actually because it can test whether there is the blood of the imperial family in the blood of the other party. Although this point has not been taken seriously since the inheritance of the empire, it is still its original purpose. ”

"And the reason why we need to test the bloodline is also related to the other part of the Flame Blade Candle Shadow!"

When Su Tong said this, his brows looked at Su Mu's eyes even more awe-inspiringly.

is also more serious, and said more and more amazing information:

"In fact, just like Mao Nier's desolate blood can evolve, the imperial royal bloodline also contains some amazing energy, but in the slow dilution of tens of millions of years, few people in the imperial royal family can use the power of the bloodline. ”

"But it is clear that the ancestors had already thought of this problem, so they established the so-called Ancestral Dragon Temple in extremely ancient times, and set up a mechanism in the Ancestral Dragon Temple that can stimulate the blood of the royal family. It also left behind, a medium that could restore the bloodline to its original purity. ”

And this medium is the other half of the candle shadow...... Streamer Blade!"

......

When Su Mu heard this, he seemed a little inexplicable.

After all, whether it is the Ancestral Dragon Temple, which allows the bloodline to evolve, or the Streamer Blade, which can restore the bloodline to its purity, it is obviously an extremely important secret treasure for the empire.

Su Mu couldn't imagine why such a thing would become a means to deal with himself.

"Because there's a very important problem that you didn't notice!"

Seeing that Su Mu was becoming more and more dazed, Su Tong hit the nail on the head and pointed out the core key that Su Mu had overlooked:

"Since there is the Ancestral Dragon Temple and the Streamer Blade, why is the imperial royal bloodline still so weak. Even if he is the eldest brother who leads the army to fight all the year round, he has just crossed the threshold of the Chinese character level. As for everyone below the second emperor brother, none of them have the slightest talent for cultivation. ”

Hearing this, Su Mu finally suddenly realized:

Although the Ancestral Dragon Temple and the Streamer Blade did exist, it was clear that the Imperial Clan did not have the ability to obtain the energy in them, and could only allow the bloodline to become weaker day by day.

"As I said earlier, the ancestral dragon temple is the hope left by the ancestors for future generations. But as the ancestors, they certainly didn't want the institutions they left behind to run out within a few generations. Therefore, they carefully set up many tests for entering the Ancestral Dragon Temple, trying to let only the best royal families enter it. ”

"But what even the ancestors didn't expect was that the royal bloodline would decline to the point where no one would dare to enter the Ancestral Dragon Temple. And as the royal family no longer dared to enter the Ancestral Dragon Temple, the royal bloodline naturally could no longer be evolved, so that it was in today's field. ”

Su Tong silently revealed the fact that the bloodline of the current Longtuo royal family is declining.

And while she revealed this fact, Su Mu also understood what Emperor Longtuo wanted to do now:

"So, they will use the pretext that I have the royal blood in my body, and then use the flame blade candle shadow that is already in my hands as an excuse to force me to enter the Ancestral Dragon Temple or compromise with them?"

......

There is no doubt that Su Mu's judgment is extremely accurate.

When Su Mu said this question lightly, Su Tong's eyes were already confirming Su Mu's guess.

"The other part of the Candle Shadow, although it does contain the energy that makes the imperial family's heart move, since they don't dare to enter the Ancestral Dragon Temple to retrieve it. Therefore, they don't mind at all, using the sacred Ancestral Dragon Temple as a bargaining chip, so that we can't easily leave the empire. ”

Su Tong's voice was low, talking about the pressure that Emperor Long Tuo was about to give.

And in a mournful tone, he also said an even more amazing rumor of the empire:

"In fact, there is another rumor that has been circulating among the vague words of the high-ranking people of the empire...... Many people think that the reason why the father is so weak is precisely because the father emperor once ventured into the ancestral dragon temple.

"It's just that since then, my father, who has obviously reached the high-level realm, has never shown his strength in front of people. Even his physical condition was rapidly becoming weak and aging to a degree that was visible to the naked eye. ”

"From that day on, the ancestral dragon temple was completely closed. And the Flame Blade Candle Shadow, which was originally used as a pre-selected prop for the Ancestral Dragon Temple, became part of my dowry...... Never be noticed by any royalty again!"
