"Senior Zheng, it's a pleasure to see you again."

"I'm not happy to see you at all......" Zheng Yuanlin silently read a sentence in his heart, looking at Chu Nan displayed on the virtual screen of his personal terminal with a complicated expression, and finally turned into a smile.

"Chu Nan, congratulations on reaching the semi-finals. To be honest, I was surprised by your performance. ”

"Really?" Chu Nan laughed. "Was it an accident that I behaved well? Or is it too bad? ”

Seeing that Chu Nan was still in the mood of joking, Zheng Yuanlin's mood was even more complicated.

Thinking of what he was about to say, he suddenly had an urge to be unable to face Chu Nan and to turn off the communication immediately.

However, after all, he had a lot of experience, and he instantly suppressed this complex emotion, but the smile on his face also faded.

"Uh...... I think the performance is not bad, because I didn't expect you to be able to defeat several Inner Breath-level martial artists one level higher in succession. Such a record is something that few hegemon-level martial artists can achieve. ”

"Really?" Hearing Zheng Yuanlin's personal praise, Chu Nan was even happier. "What about Venerable Mu Yutong? What does he think of me? ”

Zheng Yuanlin's eyes jumped slightly, the thoughts in his mind turned, and finally slowly shook his head.

"The teacher has been very busy during this time and has not paid much attention to this competition."

"Oh? Oh......"

Chu Nan was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, Mu Yutong was a star-level martial artist, and it was impossible for him to come to Xiyun Star this time just for the Xiyun Star Martial Artist Competition, there must be other important things to do, how could he pay attention to his own mere hegemon-level martial artist.

Thinking like this, Chu Nan was a little more relaxed, rolled his eyes, and asked the question he was most concerned about.

"That'...... Things recommended by Nebula Academy......"

Looking at Chu Nan's undisguised expectation, Zheng Yuanlin sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that he had expected it well, Chu Nan really had illusions in his heart.

He knew very well that at this time, the best thing to do for Chu Nan was to let him break off this illusion.

However, to do so...... It really made Zheng Yuanlin a little unbearable.

Chu Nan was still excited at first, looking at Zheng Yuanlin with anticipation, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see Zheng Yuanlin answer, and suddenly found that something was wrong.

After waiting for half a minute, Zheng Yuanlin was still silent and did not speak, Chu Nan's heart jumped, and he had a bad premonition.

"Senior Zheng? You...... Are you still there? ”

Zheng Yuanlin took a breath lightly, his gaze refocused on Chu Nan, he groaned slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Chu Nan, when I saw you before, how did you promise me?" ”

Chu Nan felt a sigh in his heart.

"This ...... I promise you to win the under-20 category......"

In the end, Chu Nan's voice became smaller and smaller.

If Maruk really shows the strength of the third-order inner breath level tomorrow, he will not have the confidence to beat him to reach the final and eventually win the championship.

"Very well, it seems that you remember the promise you made to me." Zheng Yuanlin nodded. "The teacher is a person who values commitment, so as long as you win the under-20 category as promised, then he will definitely give you a recommendation spot in Nebula Academy. But if you can't fulfill this promise......"

Zheng Yuanlin didn't continue, but the meaning of his words was already very clear.

Chu Nan looked at Zheng Yuanlin blankly, and he screamed in his heart.

Mu Yutong is a star-level martial artist, does he care so much about the casual words of a mere hegemon-level martial artist?

Wasn't it because he took a fancy to his martial arts talent that he was tempted to recommend himself to enter Nebula Academy?

Why is it that in just a few days, his attitude seems to have changed 180 degrees?

However, the promise of "winning the championship of the under-20 group" was made by himself in front of Zheng Yuanlin at that time, and now even if Mu Yutong grasps this point, he is powerless to refute it.

Seeing that Chu Nan was speechless, Zheng Yuanlin let out a light sigh again in his heart, and remained expressionless on the surface.

"Chu Nan, I admit that you are a young martial artist with very good talents, but you also know that the teacher does not think that you can become a very powerful martial artist, let alone become his disciple. So...... If you fulfill your promise, then the teacher will fulfill the promise made to you, and that's it. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Chu Nan was stunned for a moment and nodded dumbly.

Looking at his appearance, Zheng Yuanlin hesitated slightly, turned off the communication, and then sighed deeply.

He knew very well that it seemed very cold-blooded and ruthless to say such a thing to Chu Nan, but since the teacher had made up his mind, he, as a disciple, had no other choice.

At this time, it is better for him to be cruel to Chu Nan, but it can make him better recognize his position and not have unrealistic illusions.

As for the after......

The teacher has already judged that it is difficult for Chu Nan to even reach the void breaking level martial artist, so he will only be a fifth-order inner breath level martial artist at most in the future, not to mention that in the eyes of the teacher, a star-level martial artist, it is nothing, and in the eyes of his own imperial heaven-level martial artist, it is nothing at all.

"I hope you will be an ordinary person in the future and spend this life in peace and stability."

After turning the last trace of kindness to Chu Nan in his mind, Zheng Yuanlin shook his head and threw all the thoughts related to Chu Nan out of his mind.

###

Chu Nan stared blankly at the virtual screen of his personal terminal that turned into darkness, and he couldn't react for a long time.

After stiffening like this for a while, Chu Nan came back to his senses with a wry smile full of self-deprecation on his face.

The meaning of Zheng Yuanlin's words is very clear, if he can't win the championship in the under-20 group, then Mu Yutong will not give him a recommended place for Nebula Academy.

Chu Nan has nothing to blame for this, because this promise was made by himself in front of Zheng Yuanlin at that time.

He just didn't expect that his performance in the game was obviously so good, and now Mu Yutong actually had to compare with him.

"Is this self-inflicted?" Chu Nan shook his head with a wry smile, and thought about it as he walked towards the outside of the practice field.

Although Mu Yutong's meaning conveyed through Zheng Yuanlin seemed a little too impersonal, Chu Nan had no qualifications to accuse this.

He was just a low-level hegemon-level martial artist who had no reputation before, and no one would ever take a second look at him if he was thrown into the crowd, but Mu Yutong was willing to give him a chance to recommend him to enter Nebula Academy, which was already extraordinarily generous.

Now that Mu Yutong is asking him to fulfill his promise and win the championship in the under-20 category, Chu Nan has nothing to say but to do his best to do it.

But...... Will he be able to get past Maruk and win the final title?

No one believed that Chu Nan would be able to grow in strength by leaps and bounds in one day, defeating Maluk, an opponent who was very likely to have the strength of the third order inner breath level.

But Chu Nan knew that this might be ...... Maybe there is......
