Martial Soul Oath
"Laugh! Laugh! How did you get embedded in the wall?!"
As soon as Meng Hongchen opened her room door, she noticed that there was an unusually lot of dust around her doorway. She was just thinking about whether she should call the hotel staff to come and clean it.
Then, he saw his older brother on the wall to the side.
Given the physical abilities of Soul Master, being embedded in a wall wouldn't actually cause them much harm. Xiao Hongchen, being Soul King, naturally wouldn't lose consciousness so easily.
He clearly felt the immense force that spread throughout his body when Chen Yuan flung him away.
The power was so great that Xiao Hongchen was completely unable to resist; even if he tried to use his Soul Power, the result would be the same.
While hovering in mid-air, for a brief moment, Xiao Hongchen's Soul Power was completely out of his control.
This means that Chen Yuan's strength far surpasses his, especially in terms of the quality, quantity, and application of his Soul Power. Otherwise, Chen Yuan would not have been able to interfere with his Soul Power so casually.
This was a huge blow to Xiao Hongchen. He had thought that even if he was slightly weaker than Chen Yuan, the difference wouldn't be too great, but reality had given him a slap in the face.
No, wait, I still have Soul Tool! That's right! I still have Soul Tool! I'm a genius in the Soul Tool Department, why would I give up my Soul Tool to compete with the Shrek students in martial souls?
If I add Soul Tool, that bastard will definitely be no match for me!
Thinking of this, Xiao Hongchen immediately cheered up and returned to his room to prepare to create more Soul Tool cores.
With a sufficient number of Soul Tool cores, he will be able to continuously produce Soul Tool before his Soul Power is exhausted.
Xiao Hongchen suddenly pulled himself off the wall, then returned to his room without saying a word, leaving Meng Hongchen, who witnessed everything, utterly bewildered.
What's wrong with me today?
Who was it that knocked Xiao Hongchen into the wall?
Meng Hongchen was very curious about the identity of the person who caused this scene. His brother was no ordinary person; only a handful of people at the top could achieve this.
Thinking of Chen Yuan's spirited performance on the field yesterday, Meng Hongchen's intuition told her that all of this must be related to him.
Inside Ning Tian's room.
"That Level 8 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonball, I asked a senior to fire it when I was hunting for the fifth Soul Ring."
"He was probably nearby at that time. You know, most of the high-level cultivators here don't really know how to use Soul Tool; they just throw them over there."
"It must have been that silly roe deer who happened to be nearby, so he got caught in the crossfire. Peeping at other people's Soul Hunting is his own problem."
"Let me state upfront that I had never met him before today, nor did I impersonate someone from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. It was all just that guy's imagination."
After listening, Ning Tian lowered his head and pondered. Impersonating a disciple of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect would indeed not bring any benefit to Chen Yuan.
If Chen Yuan really wants to join the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, he can come to her. At that time, as long as Chen Yuan is engaged to a woman surnamed Ning within the school...
And that person must be, and can only be, Ning Tian.
Once they become family, not only will those resources be at Chen Yuan's disposal, but the entire Nine Treasures Glazed Sect will be at his disposal.
Therefore, Ning Tian felt that Chen Yuan had absolutely no need to impersonate a disciple of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.
"I see. I naturally believe what you say, senior. But judging from that person's expression just now, he seems to have decided that you are a member of my Nine Treasures Glazed Sect."
"Regarding this, senior doesn't want others to misunderstand, so I will have the sect clarify this rumor."
"But senior, are you really not planning to join the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect?"
"Not for now. I don't want to join any sect right now; I just want to travel the continent."
After weighing the pros and cons, Ning Tian decided to follow Chen Yuan's ideas.
She could certainly use Xiao Hongchen's words to spread the rumor that Chen Yuan was a disciple of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect throughout the entire continent.
But that would only alienate Chen Yuan and the sect, and their current friendly relationship would be destroyed.
Offending a future genius for no reason is not worth the time and effort.
"If, in the future, Senior, your travels across the continent come to an end and you wish to find a place to retire peacefully, Ning Tian will certainly prepare a warm welcome for you."
"I'm not inviting you to join the sect. I know your personality, and I understand your thoughts now. This is simply my personal promise to you."
"No matter what, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's attitude towards Small Lake Village will not change."
"From now on, as long as it doesn't involve the sect's interests, I will always prioritize Ning Tian's own ideas when dealing with my senior. I Martial Soul Oath for this."
Ning Tian stared intently into Chen Yuan's eyes, making Chen Yuan feel a little embarrassed.
Ning Tian took a deep breath and mustered her courage. Lately, she felt that she had been outshone by Xiao Xiao in every way, which had caused her a lot of emotional problems.
According to the timeline, Ning Tian should have known Chen Yuan earlier than Xiao Xiao.
But why did Xiao Xiao and Chen Yuan's relationship progress so quickly?
Could it be that Xiao Xiao approached Chen Yuan Chen Yuan any ulterior motives? Was it simply because she had fallen for him?
Ning Tian thought about it more and more and more likely. Someone like Chen Yuan definitely wouldn't want to be involved in various interests, and would definitely want pure, unadulterated emotions.
Ning Tian realized he had identified the problem and knew he needed to adjust his strategy.
Besides, who says Chen Yuan has to completely join the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect? As long as she maintains a good relationship with Chen Yuan, isn't that enough?
Using the sect's resources to expand her network, isn't that a good idea? There are plenty of people in the sect who do that anyway.
Seeing the seriousness in Ning Tian's eyes, and after she Martial Soul Oath, Chen Yuan felt that Ning Tian's gaze was strange, making him somewhat embarrassed.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely awkward. They had even Martial Soul Oath, so there was definitely something wrong. At least in Chen Yuan's opinion, there was absolutely no hint of love between him and Ning Tian. Ning Tian shouldn't have been so easily swayed by God of Love.
Unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, Chen Yuan immediately got up and left.
After seeing Chen Yuan leave, Ning Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Heaven knows how much courage she had just mustered.
When she came to her senses, she felt embarrassed.
Martial Soul Oath that from now on, her private relationship with Chen Yuan must never involve the interests of the sect.
This is both a shackle and a liberation.
At least from now on, Ning Tian can face his own heart.
If she really falls for Chen Yuan, then she can confidently and boldly pursue him.
If not, you can still maintain a good relationship with Chen Yuan in the future.
Ning Tian still felt a little guilty when he thought of Xiao Xiao. After all, he was always thinking about how to steal someone else's boyfriend, and anyone would feel embarrassed in that situation.
On the third day, the first round of elimination matches concluded, and the second round of group matches began, requiring a certain number of points to advance.
Interestingly, neither the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy of the four great empires nor Shrek Academy were assigned to the same group.
The official organizers of the Star Luo Empire's tournament didn't even bother with any pretense; they simply grouped most of the Sun Moon Academy's academies into one group, making them fight each other.
The group that Star Luo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy belongs to has the fewest strong teams.
This kind of shady dealing is nothing new; the organizers of almost every major competition do it.
In the first match of the round-robin tournament, Shrek faced Yunluo Academy in a 1v1 match, just like in the original story.
Just when the audience thought Shrek would send Chen Yuan to complete Seven-in-a-row that no one had achieved in thousands of years, Shrek sent out that scoundrel Xu Sanshi.
In the end, Xu Sanshi lived up to expectations and won the competition without any suspense.
The opposing team's strength was really not that great. Not to mention Soul King, the strongest among them was only a Soul Ancestor, and Soul Engineer at that.
At this level, encountering Xu Sanshi was simply bad luck for him.
