Staking his life on wealth and honor
Three days after the start of the competition.
In a private room of a restaurant Heaven Dou City.
Prince Xue Xing sat in the head seat, flanked by several nobles from the city.
In front of them stood a robust young man.
"Wang Teng, whose ancestral home is Wangjia Village in Huaibei City, is the Third Brother in his family." A nobleman read aloud from the documents in his hand, looking at the young man. "Am I correct?"
The young man named Wang Teng nodded nervously.
Today, he was cultivating in the Hotel when he was summoned by Attendant of Prince Xue Xing.
He assumed that his performance in the Arena had earned his opponent's appreciation, so he readily agreed to the invitation.
As a commoner Soul Master, he knew the importance of opportunity.
But to his surprise, there were so many noble gentlemen in the private room. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling.
Another nobleman placed a purple Gold Spirit Card on the tea table.
"We investigated and found that your father broke both legs when he went up the mountain to chop firewood in his early years, and he was bedridden for the rest of his life. Your mother took care of the whole family."
Unfortunately, due to overwork in her early years, your mother fell ill and, like your father, is now bedridden.
"Your two older brothers have no Talent Soul Master and make a living by farming at home. And the 100 Gold Soul Coin you receive monthly from the Spirit Hall are mostly used for your parents' medical treatment and your sister's education."
Am I right?
For ordinary Soul Master, the monthly Soul Master Subsidy provided by the Spirit Hall is a lifesaver.
But for Wang Teng, it was still too little.
The mother's internal injuries were not easy to heal, and the father's legs were even less likely to grow back.
Please have Healing-Type Spirit Master intervene; one hundred Gold Soul Coin won't be enough to stop it.
Wang Teng dreamed of currying favor with a powerful noble family, but based on today's scene, he could roughly guess that these nobles wanted him to "risk his life" for them!
Seeing that the groundwork had been laid, one of the elderly men stood up and said, "I am Cattelan, the hereditary Earl of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Wang Teng respectfully replied, "Greetings Earl."
Cattelan waved his hand, "Let's not beat around the bush. I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll just say it directly."
"I have only two sons in my life, no daughters. If you do me a good deed, not only will your parents receive medical treatment, but your two elder brothers will also be exceptionally recruited into the local City Lord Mansion as officials."
"As for your sister, I've heard she has considerable Talent and intend to adopt her as my goddaughter."
Wang Teng's eyes lit up.
Even a nobleman of such high status wouldn't deign to entertain him.
His younger sister was adopted as his goddaughter, which provided the family with a strong support in the future, and even gave his father a chance to regrow his legs.
As a commoner Soul Master, he knew that Cultivation resources were hard to come by. As the Earl's adopted daughter, his sister's future achievements would surely be limitless!
With this thought in mind, he knelt down, expressing his stance, "Thank you for your appreciation, Earl, and thank you for the invitation, sirs. I, Wang Teng, am willing to repay you with my life."
Prince Xue Xing laughed heartily, "In that case, I must congratulate Earl Cattelan. With so many children in the future, how pleasant and enjoyable his life will be!"
Changing the subject, he looked at Wang Teng and said, "Kid, you did a great job."
"Ah, if things hadn't turned out so suddenly, I really would have liked to make good use of you."
Upon hearing this, Wang Teng already knew his fate.
"What a pity, what a pity! Someone insists on going against the Imperial Family, and I can't retaliate. So, I can only make you sacrifice yourself so that I have a handle to take revenge on them, and the wealth and glory of my family will be within my grasp."
"My men have already gone to Huaibei City. As long as you agree to handle this matter for me, I will immediately fulfill my promise."
Wang Teng asked with a firm expression, "Please enlighten Prince!"
Prince Xue Xing stopped beating around the bush, "In the tournament, you deliberately died at the hands of the Shrek Team. You traded your life for a hundred years of avoiding a detour for your family. Was that a worthwhile deal?"
Now that things have come to this, Wang Teng has no chance to regret it.
He already knew about Prince Xue Xing's plan, and if he refused, he would be killed on the spot to prevent the plan from being leaked, and even his family would suffer as a result.
As for why Shrek Academy was targeted, the reason lies in what happened on the Opening Ceremony day.
Wang Teng knelt on the ground and solemnly said, "This humble servant will certainly not fail His Prince and all the noble gentlemen who have entrusted me with this task."
Everyone nodded in satisfaction.
After issuing a warning, Prince Xue Xing added, "You can go home these next few days and see your family enjoying their wealth and luxury."
"Here are 50,000 Gold Soul Coin. Take them and enjoy them before you leave."
In the past few days of competition, Shrek has been punished; every opponent they've faced seems determined to fight them to the death.
Moreover, every time the opponent gained an advantage, they would choose to concede defeat just as they were about to launch a counterattack.
This continued for several days, greatly angering the Shrek Seven Devils, forcing Yu Xiaogang to change his tactics.
But today's opponent chose to concede defeat, leaving them with nothing but empty words.
The Shrek Academy members were furious, unable to release their pent-up anger.
If it weren't for the sake of the academy, given their personalities, they might actually have stormed into their opponent's rest area for an offline match.
Today, Seven Treasures Team's opponent is Canghui Academy Team.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang comforted everyone, "Don't get upset. Canghui Academy is quite strong; they might be able to force out the Seven Treasures Team's trump card. Everyone, let's go to the venue and watch the match."
The Shrek Seven Devils have been suppressing their emotions for a long time. If they can figure out the Soul Skill of everyone in the Seven Treasures Team, they will definitely be able to finally get their revenge in the upcoming matches!
Inside the Seven Treasures Team's Rest Room.
Wu Qi, with his God-like perspective, knew about the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Canghui Academy.
His Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone could easily dissolve it, so he had to play in this match.
Just as he was arranging the players for the match, Sun Buyu rushed in, "Everyone, take a break. Canghui Academy has conceded defeat. We won this match."
Feng Xiaotian, however, was not surprised. "It seems they've chosen to avoid our confrontation."
Wu Qi stretched and took out the schedule. "Tomorrow's opponent is the Elephant Armor Team. Everyone, get some rest."
With the competition over, everyone can relax for a day.
Seven Treasures Academy sent many teachers to watch other Battle Team ' matches from the stands, take notes, and send them back to the academy for analysis by the advisors.
In short, Wu Qi and the others were not that tired and did not need to waste too much energy in their spare time.
"They've given up again, those useless trash from the Canghui Academy!" Yu Xiaogang cursed angrily.
In the past few matches, Seven Treasures Team's opponents have all been relatively weak Battle Team, and they have not been able to force Qibao Team to use their third or higher Soul Skill Soul Skill.
We finally have a strong team like Canghui Academy, but they've avoided the match!
"Could they have conspired together?" Dai Mubai said angrily, considering the recent competition situation.
Being repeatedly targeted and punished by various Battle Team, the Shrek Seven Devils were extremely unhappy, but there was nothing they could do about it.
