Chapter 25 Kong Ling: Brother, want to make a bet?
The deep voice made the three of them turn their heads almost simultaneously. Xu Tianyi, a classmate from the Soul Master class, was standing behind them.
He pressed his lips tightly together, his fists clenched until they turned white, forcing himself to meet Kong Xuan's gaze directly.
Xu Wei leaned closer to Kong Xuan and whispered, "Brother Xuan, should we let him join?"
Before Kong Xuan could answer, his younger sister Kong Ling stepped forward and asked, "The reason!"
Since the start of the semester, apart from the morning classes, they haven't had much contact with Xu Tianyi during their other cultivation sessions.
However, Kong Ling could sense that Xu Tianyi seemed to harbor hostility towards his brother, and that the defeat they suffered back then was probably still bothering him.
So, looking at Xu Tianyi, who wanted to join them, Kong Ling asked him this question directly.
She wouldn't agree if Xu Tianyi couldn't give a reasonable explanation.
Kong Xuan remained silent, seemingly approving of his sister's actions.
He looked at Xu Tianyi, also curious about his answer.
Xu Tianyi's Adam's apple bobbed. Having been hailed as a genius since childhood, he had never needed to explain anything.
But when facing Kong Ling, his proud talent couldn't give him confidence, because the other party was an even more talented person than him.
"I want to try again!"
He raised his chin, and a stubborn flame seemed to ignite in his eyes.
Even though I know I'm no match for you, I still want to fight one more time, even if I can only last a little longer!
Xu Tianyi's gaze passed over Kong Ling in front of him and landed on Kong Xuan's face.
Ever since his defeat at Kong Xuan's hands, the scene of that battle has been constantly replaying in Xu Tianyi's mind. The spear tip pressed against his throat is like a nightmare he can't shake off, preventing him from fully immersing himself in cultivation.
He knew he had to make changes and confront the horror.
After three full days of mental preparation, Xu Tianyi finally mustered up the courage to say, "Count me in!"
What Kong Xuan saw in his eyes was not hostility, but fighting spirit!
He turned around, picked up a pen from the table, filled in the application form with the names of four people, and said, "Teacher, we're all here!"
The teacher who was registering the application stamped the application form and then took out a metal card and placed it on the table.
"Your usage time for Arena 173 is only three hours."
"Thank you, teacher."
Kong Xuan picked up the card on the table and said to the group, "Let's go!"
Kong Ling and Xu Wei followed behind him, heading towards the Soul Battle Zone.
Xu Tianyi stared blankly as the three walked quite a distance before he came to his senses when the registration teacher's voice came.
"Hey classmate, hurry up and catch up!"
Xu Tianyi glanced at the teacher, his gaze sweeping over the application form on the desk, where his name was prominently displayed.
A smile involuntarily crept onto Xu Tianyi's face, and he quickly quickened his pace to catch up with Kong Xuan and the other two.
The registration teacher watched their retreating figures and chuckled softly.
Based on the brief exchange between the children, she had already imagined the grudges and conflicts between them.
However, it seems that the outcome was good.
This made her nostalgic for her teenage years, when she also had a group of friends like this.
But now, most of them have already gone their separate ways.
...
Arena No. 173 is also a small arena, with a diameter of only fifty meters.
However, it's enough for them, who are at the first or second ring level of Soul Masters.
Kong Xuan turned around and looked at the three people behind him. Before he could speak, Xu Tianyi said with fighting spirit, "I hope you can go all out this time and let me feel the real gap between us..."
"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Xu Wei interrupted Xu Tianyi's challenge to Kong Xuan, saying directly, "I invited Brother Xuan, so if anyone's going to fight, it'll be me first!"
Xu Tianyi frowned upon hearing this, glancing at Xu Wei, whose cultivation level was lower than his own: "With your cultivation level, you can't even withstand one of his spears, don't waste your time!"
Xu Tianyi couldn't bring himself to be proud in front of Kong Xuan and Kong Ling.
Xu Wei's level 16 soul power ranked high in the class, but Xu Tianyi still didn't take him seriously.
Xu Wei's face flushed slightly, but his eyes became even more stubborn: "So what if your soul power is one level higher than mine? By the time I'm nine, my soul power will definitely exceed level seventeen. What's there to be proud of!"
Although Xu Wei usually seems unreliable, his talent is not necessarily lower than Xu Tianyi's, after all, his innate soul power is also level nine.
The atmosphere froze instantly. Kong Xuan looked at the two of them and suddenly said, "I think it would be better if you two had a match first."
"Him?!"
Xu Tianyi chuckled, seemingly not taking him seriously at all.
The data from the previous physical tests were all public. Xu Wei was inferior to me in both soul power and physical fitness, so Xu Tianyi's arrogance was not unfounded.
Kong Xuan's expression hardened, and he said in a slightly cold tone, "If you're unwilling, you can leave now!"
Xu Wei is his roommate, and he always calls him "Brother Xuan," so he is someone Kong Xuan approves of.
If Xu Tianyi continues with this attitude, then he feels there's no need to continue the contact.
Even if he has good skills and talent, such a person is not worth paying attention to.
Seeing Kong Xuan stand up for him, Xu Wei felt a warmth in his heart, but he wanted to prove himself with his strength even more!
He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Xu Tianyi and said coldly, "Do you dare to fight?"
Realizing that his arrogance displeased Kong Xuan, Xu Tianyi took a deep breath and nodded to Xu Wei: "What is there to be afraid of!"
The two then walked down from the outer stands, and a battle was about to begin.
Looking at the two sides already positioned in the arena, Kong Ling asked, "Brother, who do you think will win?"
Kong Xuan did not answer directly, but instead asked, "What do you think?"
"Hmm?" Kong Ling looked thoughtful, then said, "Although Xu Tianyi is annoyingly arrogant, he probably has no rivals in the class except for us."
Clearly, Kong Ling has a higher opinion of Xu Tianyi.
Actually, not long ago, Kong Xuan would have given the same answer, but now it's different.
Xu Wei, in the arena, abandoned his carefree demeanor and became serious.
Since Xu Wei has not revealed it, and Kong Xuan has not deliberately inquired about it, he actually does not know what Xu Wei's martial soul and soul skills are.
However, based on his understanding of Xu Wei, since he dared to fight Xu Tianyi, it was definitely not an impulsive act; he must have some confidence.
Xu Tianyi, on the other hand, seems to be underestimating his opponent, which might actually put him at a disadvantage.
Thinking of this, Kong Xuan smiled mysteriously: "I actually think more highly of my roommate."
Kong Ling's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, and she said, "Then, brother, do you want to make a bet with me?"
"What are we betting on?"
"Let's bet on who will win between the two of them."
"What's the stake?"
Kong Ling leaned her arm on the railing outside the Soul Arena, her hands supporting her delicate chin, and turned to look at her brother.
A gentle breeze ruffled the hair at the side of her forehead, and she blinked her large, watery eyes, saying, "The bet is..."
