Chapter 342: Xiao Hongchen: I feel like my back is stabbed
Xu Tianzhen's head was still groggy, but fortunately, the necklace helped him resist most of the power of the soul impact, and his spiritual power was not affected too much.
She swayed her body on the field very unvividly, trying not to let herself fall, and after a long time, she asked a little delirious: "You, how do you know that I am an innocent princess?" β
"Is there a second person named Xu Tianzhen in Mingdu?" Huo Yuhao said helplessly.
Xu Tianzhen's head was still a little confused: "Are you from Mingdu?" Have you heard of me? β
Huo Yuhao was too lazy to entangle: "Remember our bet, right?" I won, and you can admit defeat on behalf of Mingdu Academy. β
"I, I ......" Xu Tianzhen sobered up a little more, and decisively refused, "No." β
Huo Yuhao frowned: "Innocent princess, did you just make a bet?" β
Xu Tianzhen turned his head: "As a princess, I naturally won't be untrustworthy, but I am the captain of Mingdu Academy, how can I easily admit defeat on behalf of the academy like this?" Unless ......"
"Unless what?"
Xu Tianzhen said with a hippie smile: "Unless you lend me your flying soul guide to play, I will promise you." β
She still misses Huo Yuhao's flyboard.
"That's it." Huo Yuhao shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Next." β
Seeing that the coquettish didn't succeed, Xu Tianzhen pouted, turned to the referee and shouted, "You ...... Hmph, referee, don't compare, Ming has admitted defeat. β
After saying that, she ignored anyone, and walked back to the rest area with a sullen face.
The referee opened his mouth and stood stunned, still not recovering from the shock.
He was just a referee of the Bad Race, and his cultivation was at the level of Talent Soul Saint, and the radiance of the bonus under Xu Tianzhen's sun gaze just now was no longer something he could stop.
With his strength, he couldn't stop Xu Tianzhen's full blow, so he could only notify the referee as soon as possible.
In fact, before he could move, Unbroken Douluo Zheng Zhan, who was the chief referee, had already flown into the air, looking down at the field with a calm face.
As the referee, he naturally had to control the casualties of the game, and he knew the innocent princess well, but he didn't expect Xu Tianzhen to show all his hole cards so easily in the first game of the round-robin match.
Zheng Zhan's brows furrowed, even the metal arena began to melt in the high temperature, if he didn't make a move, Huo Yuhao would most likely have no bones left in the high temperature.
But just as he was about to make a move, the orange-red light that shrouded the field was all gone.
Zheng Zhan's expression gradually softened, he glanced at the field a few more times, and yelled at the referee: "Why are you still in a daze?" The results of the contest are announced. With that, he also flew back to the rostrum.
The referee looked around for a while before announcing loudly: "In the first game of the fourth group, Dragon and Tiger will win." β
Xu Tianzhen returned to the rest area sullenly, and Lu Jun and other team members greeted him.
"Captain, why did you just admit defeat?"
"Why don't you admit defeat? Which of you can beat him? Xu Tian was really angry, and glanced at Lu Jun, "You? β
Lu Jun turned his head in amusement.
"Or you?" Xu Tianzhen looked at the other member of the Mingdu team again.
Seeing that no one was talking, Xu Tianzhen snorted and said to himself: "Huo Yuhao, right? When the competition is over, I'll tell Brother Huang to let you obediently hand over the flying soul guide yourself. β
Xu Tian's innocent complaint failed to escape Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be happy.
He was very curious if he gave the flyboard as a gift to Xu Tianran, would he be directly dragged down by him for the crime of insulting the saint.
Giving a skateboard to a cripple doesn't look like a second meaning other than provocation.
"How does it feel to do it yourself?" Waiting for Huo Yuhao to return to the rest area, the Ice Emperor stood up and asked.
"The harvest is good, I get the information I want." Huo Yuhao took off the image soul guide on his body and said with satisfaction.
This records the whole process of his battle with Xu Tianzhen.
Tianmeng leaned over and asked curiously, "Yuhao, why are you collecting this?" β
"Naturally, it is only for study and research." Huo Yuhao threw the image soul guide into the air, crossed an arc in the air, and landed in his hand again.
"It's time to go to the Soul Master Competition, I'll think about what kind of soul guide I can use to reproduce these moves."
On the rostrum.
Xu Tianran looked at the defeated Mingdu team and said nothing.
Zhong Liwu opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, it seems that the Sun Martial Soul is still slightly inferior to the Extreme Ice. β
Xu Tianran nodded slightly, his expression was not good-looking.
Zhong Liwu said again: "Actually, in my opinion, the innocent princess is not without a chance of winning, she appeared too early. β
"The Mingdu team can send a few team members to consume Huo Yuhao's soul power first, and when his state has declined, it will not be too late for the innocent princess to play again."
"And it's not a smart move to play all the hole cards as soon as you play."
"It's just a round-robin tournament now, and many teams even choose to give up strategically in the first game in order to hide their strength. With all due respect, Your Highness, the innocent princess, as the captain, is a little arrogant. β
At the mention of Xu Tianzhen, Xu Tianran's expression softened a little, and he couldn't refute what Zhong Liwu said, so he could only shake his head with a wry smile: "It's a pity, my sister was born to be brutal and willful, and greedy and rebellious, she is the only princess in the royal family, and she has been spoiled by her father and several of our royal brothers since she was a child." β
"Her cultivation talent is the best among us, and she has already broken through the Soul Emperor at the age of less than twenty. From childhood to adulthood, how can we not give her what she likes? Now that she has taken a fancy to Huo Yuhao's flying soul guide, how can she sit still? β
The voices on the competition stage were transmitted to the rostrum through the voice transmission soul guide, and they all heard Xu Tianzhen and Huo Yuhao's bets clearly.
Tangerine smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's not a bad thing for the innocent princess to be like this. The royal family has had many rules since childhood, and it is also a blessing to be able to live spontaneously and freely like an innocent princess. β
Xu Tianran bowed his head lightly, and said: "Tangerine, naΓ―ve, she is about to graduate from Mingdu Academy and return to the palace, as the imperial sister-in-law, you must guide her more in the future, and you can't be as willful as before." β
Tangerine smiled and agreed: "This is natural, the innocent princess is not small, how can she be as willful as a child again." β
"It's not small......"
Xu Tianran silently recited these words in his heart, and suddenly spoke: "Hongchen Hall Master, I don't know if your grandchildren have a ruthless relationship in the academy on weekdays?" β
As soon as he opened his mouth and took the initiative to mention the Hongchen brothers and sisters, he immediately aroused Jing Hongchen's vigilance.
Jing Hongchen quickly played Tai Chi: "Your Highness, the grandchildren of the old ministers are addicted to cultivation in the academy on weekdays, and they don't have any ideas about this for the time being. β
"But the old minister won't force this, the younger generation has the idea of the younger generation, and our older generation won't interfere, let them worry about themselves, haha......"
Xu Tianran said: "The family style of the Hongchen family is still quite free and open-minded. β
The two of them played haha, and no one made it clear, but everyone knew the meaning.
Jing Hongchen scolded secretly in his heart.
Xu Tianran's meaning is clear, since Xiaoxiao Hongchen and Xu Tianzhen are about the same age, can the Hongchen family walk around with the royal family?
Of course, Jing Hongchen couldn't agree, and he passed with a sloppy eye.
The Hongchen family is the great nobles of the Sun and Moon Empire, but they are a little different from other nobles, they have no in-law relationship with the royal family.
Hongchen's brother and sister have a noble status, and their talents are also extremely good, and their identities and talents are completely worthy of the royal family, but Jing Hongchen will never agree.
He deeply knew that even if the Hongchen family really planned to marry, it would be impossible to choose Xiao Hongchen, let alone the royal family.
Mingdetang is the biggest foundation and reliance of the Hongchen family, and the Hongchen family has always maintained a high degree of independence in the face of the royal family, and Jing Hongchen is unwilling to be completely tied to the royal family in this way.
He has further plans for the future of these two heirs.
Whether a family chooses a male heir or a female heir does not seem to be a question worth discussing, and the obvious answer is that it must choose a male heir as the future head of the family.
But when you think about it, the logic doesn't seem to be so taken for granted.
Generally speaking, male heirs have stronger talents and are naturally more suitable as the head of the family.
But in the process of growing up in the future, the head of the family will face all kinds of risks, and it will cost a lot of money to cultivate, if the martial soul weakens and mutates, and dies halfway, this investment will be considered a loss, for an elite family with a small number of people like the Hongchen family, it can't afford such a loss.
But what if a female heir is chosen?
Then the family can directly select highly talented men to join the family by selecting sons-in-law. It is also an investment, and this selection method directly transfers most of the costs.
It's just that the loyalty of outsiders is definitely not as good as that of inside, and the risk of guarding against thieves is also a little higher.
Of course, this logic is based on the assumption that it is a completely political marriage, without taking into account the extremely volatile variable of love.
After all, it's not unheard of in history of male heirs betraying their families for the sake of true love, right?
Jing Hongchen naturally plans to cultivate Xiao Hongchen as the next master of Mingde Hall now, as for the others, they are just alternatives.
Spectator area, Sun and Moon team.
Meng Hongchen looked at the field in surprise: "The strength of the innocent princess is already terrifying to this point. It really deserves to be the sun martial soul of the royal family. β
Under Xu Tianzhen's terrifying heat, the ground of the competition table was already melted and turned into liquid metal.
Xiao Hongchen frowned and nodded, and said in a low voice: "It's a pity that it's still not Huo Yuhao's opponent." β
"Well, but I didn't expect that such an innocent princess was not Huo Yuhao's opponent, he must have used those messy spiritual soul skills again."
Meng Hongchen didn't notice Xiao Hongchen's expression, and asked himself.
"Brother, my martial soul is restrained by the innocent princess, what if you meet the innocent princess?"
Xiao Hongchen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not just you, even my martial soul is restrained by the innocent princess." β
"In that heat, my soul guide cannon won't last long before it melts."
His ability is to manipulate metal, but in the terrifying heat that can easily melt metal, his ability is useless.
The martial souls of the two brothers and sisters were restrained by the Sun Martial Soul, if the Sun and Moon Clan met the Mingdu Clan, it was hard to say who would lose and who would win, but fortunately they were not divided into a group.
Xiao Hongchen quickly regained his confident smile.
"However, the preparation time for the innocent princess to release her soul technique is very long, and I can completely defeat him before she can make a move."
But his smile didn't last long, and soon showed a sad look again.
Only then did Meng Hongchen notice that his expression was wrong, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" β
Xiao Hongchen muttered: "It's nothing, I just don't know why I feel like my back is scratching today." β
β¦β¦
Green Hotel.
Tonight is the second round of the main competition of the Yushui League.
All the participants have no names, some are just numbers, and no one will show their real names in this kind of underground competition.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was quietly waiting for the start of the game in the VIP room prepared for the players.
"My Son, this is your number." Beside him, two disciples of Immortal Thunder Douluo respectfully handed over a number plate.
They are numbered ninety-six and ninety-eight, respectively.
Huo Yuhao didn't say a word, and took the number plate casually, and the two didn't dare to ask more.
"Ninety-nine."
He glanced at the numbers on the number plate, and after reading them, he didn't put them away, and just kept staring.
"What do you think when you see so much?" The Ice Emperor asked, "Ninety-nine, ninety-nine, Jiujiu, are you thinking about that Jiujiu Princess?" β
Huo Yuhao admitted calmly: "I did think of her." β
He was silent for a moment, and then said, "My destiny seems to have become more and more active lately, and some strange thoughts have been rising in my head. β
The Ice Emperor raised his eyebrows: "The power of fate? It seems like you haven't mentioned this power in a long time. β
Tianmeng, who was lying on the snow and squirming, said weakly: "Is that power really useful?" How do I feel no different from a blind imagination? β
"Think of it as my sixth sense." Huo Yuhao said lightly, "There is always a feeling that I will encounter a series of very complicated and uncontrollable things soon, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger." β
Electrolux said, "Kid, are you sure you're feeling this way lately?" β
"Sure."
Electrolux pondered for a moment and asked, "Remember how your destiny power came from?" β
"Yes."
Huo Yuhao paused suddenly.
He carefully recalled the situation, as if he had some very important details in mind.
Unconsciously, his brow furrowed.
"Do you believe in this so-called fate?" The Snow Emperor's cold voice sounded slowly, "Don't you even have the heart to rebel against fate?" β
"Obviously, Emperor Xue, you haven't thought about the logic behind fate."
Huo Yuhao smiled.
"You said you were going to rebel against fate."
"Exactly."
"Then fate has predicted that you will rebel against it, do you want to obey it, or do you rebel?"
The Snow Emperor didn't answer.
Huo Yuhao didn't continue the topic, turned his gaze to the entrance of the VIP room, and a tall and mighty young man walked into the room.
He is the head of the dish after disguise.
He Caitou sat down not far from Huo Yuhao, and the number on his number plate was eighty-eight.
Neither of them showed up in their true appearances, and glanced at each other and looked away, like strangers.
