"What did you say!"
Ying Wei, from the Star Luo team, couldn't help but stick his head out of the carriage.
Like Davis, he was a power-attack type Soul Master in the team, with a fiery temper, and he couldn't stand it after hearing these words.
All seven members of their Star Luo team were extremely excellent Soul Masters, and they hadn't suffered a single defeat in the days they'd been in Tian Dou.
These people of Tian Dou, based on a blank sheet of paper, hailed Chi Xiu as a rare genius, but they had clearly witnessed the Star Luo team's victories in every match, yet they were calling the Star Luo team weak?
Ying Wei clenched his fists and looked at the man: "Ignorant fool!"
The latter shrank back in fright and ran to the front of the group in a panic.
"Instead of getting angry at a commoner who can't even kill a chicken, you should think about how to beat the opponent in the next match and prove yourself."
Davis's deep voice came from the carriage.
He glanced sternly at his teammates in the carriage: "Although I don't believe Chi Xiu is really as powerful as the rumors say, I hope none of you will let your guard down."
"This represents the face of two nations. Whether the opponent is truly strong or not, we must unleash our full potential from the very beginning."
"If they're truly strong, we'll suppress them from the start and catch them off guard!"
"If they're faking it, we'll quickly take control and end the battle!"
"Yes, Captain!"
the seven members of the Star Luo team responded in unison.
At that moment, a gust of wind lifted the carriage curtain.
Davis looked outside as the Heaven Dou team's carriage passed by.
He saw a figure sitting by the carriage window.
Pure white clothes, a pure black mask.
Even from the side, his otherworldly aura was revealed.
At this moment, Chi Xiu seemed to sense something.
He turned his head to the side, but only glanced at Davis briefly before looking back ahead.
It was as if, in his eyes, Davis was no different from any other commoner.
"Damn it."
Watching the Heavenly Dou team's carriage drive away first, Davis clenched his fists, his determination to win the competition growing stronger.
...
"Wow, the royal family has basically built a huge Soul Arena for our academy!"
Ning Rongrong peeked out from behind the curtain, looking at the former Purple Star Training Ground, where a newly built Soul Arena occupied a full quarter of the area.
Although it was built hastily, many skilled craftsmen were ordered to gather here, each displaying their unique abilities, and in just two days, the Soul Arena was built to a respectable standard.
"Because they value this competition very much,"
Chi Xiu murmured.
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked down at his left hand with some curiosity.
At this moment, a small, fair hand was resting on it.
Zhu Zhuqing took Chi Xiu's hand, her body trembling slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She must have just seen Zhu Zhuyun in the carriage.
"Don't worry, you're stronger than her,"
Chi Xiu encouraged, while holding Zhu Zhuqing's small hand tightly in his own.
Sitting opposite, Xiao Wu glanced at them, then awkwardly looked outside the carriage.
...
After getting off the carriage, the Tian Dou team went to the academy's reception hall to meet Xue Ye and the others.
Xue Qinghe and a group of Tian Dou high-ranking officials stood to Xue Ye's left and right, followed by many Tian Dou royal nobles and the new generation of royal children, most of whom were Soul Masters.
The royal family members were very happy to see the Tian Dou team arrive.
These seven children were not initially favored by most people, but on Xing Luo's side, they had achieved brilliant results, their amazing performance silencing countless people.
Especially the boy standing at the front.
White clothes, a pure black mask, his overall temperament gave people a sense of calm and simplicity.
Now, looking at him, he walked in calmly and composedly, showing no tension even in the face of the current situation.
Like a born king, heading to a battle with a known outcome.
"Your Majesty, the Tian Dou team has come to meet us. We shouldn't be late, right?"
Chi Xiu stood at the head of the table, bowing slightly and making a gesture of respect.
His six teammates behind him bowed in unison, following his movements.
Xue Ye was incredibly excited. He quickly stepped forward and lifted Chi Xiu's arm with both hands, saying, "No, you're not late! It's good that you're here! It's good that you're here!"
"You are all the pride of Tian Dou. It's just a pity that the battle is imminent, otherwise we should have prepared a sumptuous banquet to properly entertain you!"
Chi Xiu smiled and said, "We appreciate Your Majesty's kindness, but time waits for no one. I'll take the team to prepare first."
Xue Ye nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay!"
Chi Yuan also arrived at the reception hall at this time.
People from Zi Xing Academy were not actually qualified to come here. If he hadn't been led by the dean, the guards would never have allowed him to enter.
"Where's Xiao Xiu?"
Chi Yuan looked around from the back of the reception group. He hadn't seen Chi Xiu for six years.
Back then, in order to let Chi Xiu go out to train alone, Chi Yuan insisted on not visiting him in Tian Dou City for six whole years.
So how could he give up this opportunity to meet now?
After going around several angles, Chi Yuan finally saw his son.
His face was filled with excitement, especially upon seeing Chi Xiu, who had almost grown into a man, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"My son, the changes in six years are so great..."
In just a few short hours, Chi Yuan had heard about Chi Xiu's glorious achievements, and as a father, he was prouder than anyone else.
"...Time waits for no one, I'll take the troops to prepare first."
Hearing Chi Xiu's words, Chi Yuan suddenly froze.
He hadn't even spoken to his son yet, and the battle was about to begin?
They should be heading back immediately after the battle, right
? Thinking of this, Chi Yuan became anxious and hurriedly waved his hands, calling out, "Xiao Xiu! Xiao Xiu!"
Chi Yuan's anxious voice echoed throughout the hall.
"Xiao Xiu! I've come to see you!"
The royal nobles all turned around and saw a middle-aged man they had never seen before making a loud fuss.
A middle-aged nobleman nearby frowned. "Who are you! How did you get into this reception hall?"
"Soldiers! Take him out! How could you let a civilian in!"
"Disrupting the team's competition, can you take responsibility?"
The guards rushed in, looking at Chi Yuan and the royal family member reprimanding him. Their expressions became troubled.
"He said he is..."
"Who else could it be? The competition is about to start, and you're being so negligent in your duties?"
the middle-aged nobleman scolded.
Chi Xiu narrowed his eyes, finally seeing Chi Yuan's face clearly, and was extremely surprised.
His father had actually come?!
Six years had passed, and Chi Yuan's temples had grown many white hairs.
Chi Xiu excitedly squeezed into the crowd: "Father, why are you here?!"
"Son!"
Ignoring the middle-aged nobleman's dumbfounded look, Chi Yuan also rushed into the crowd and hugged Chi Xiu.
The father and son hugged each other excitedly, jumping up and down, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded.
"My son has grown up! And become quite successful! Your old man has heard your name so many times he's practically calloused! Hahaha!"
"Didn't you say, Father? Keep a low profile most of the time, but when necessary, step forward. I've only shown a little talent."
The surrounding nobles watched the father and son boasting to each other, dumbfounded.
The middle-aged noble standing beside them had an even more interesting expression.
He gradually bowed, his face respectful, a fawning smile plastered on his face: "So you're Captain Chi's father! I was so rude just now..."
"Who are you?"
Chi Yuan glanced at him, bewildered.
The middle-aged noble turned red with embarrassment.
Xue Ye, surrounded by the crowd, walked over. He shook Chi Yuan's hand very amicably, smiling, "You're Captain Chi's father?"
"Yes, I'm his father."
"I see. Thank you, Brother Chi, for your contributions to the Empire. Please join me in the chief audience later!"
Xue Ye said excitedly.
Chi Yuan scratched his head, bewildered: "What contributions have I made..."
