In the following days, Ning Chuan tried various methods to get Qin Ya to repay her debts. Perhaps because they were about to part ways, Qin Ya did not refuse, and even agreed to some of the excessive requests.
Soon, it was January 8th.
The winter break has arrived at Galaxy University.
First- and second-year students set off to return to their respective administrative regions.
They are the main force of the Chosen Battle.
On the same day, Ning Chuan bid farewell to Qin Ya and took Gu Tianyu aboard the Heavenly River to Donglin.
Because he wanted to try to condense the Force Wheel, he refused the powerful expert sent by Galaxy University.
Ning Chuan left decisively, without lingering for the sake of the pleasure quarters.
He knew his goal.
Despite his relaxation, with Martial Star's resurgence imminent, he must do everything possible to enhance his combat strength.
That evening, the Heavenly River arrived at the Lu Family.
"You two chat, I'm leaving now."
After disembarking from the spaceship, Gu Tianyu didn't linger and bid farewell with a smile.
He still needs to pull some strings to help Lu Zhan obtain the identity of the Guardian of the Chosen Battle.
" Xiao Ning, you don't need to stick your neck out for me regarding Lin Fengyang's matter. After all, he is a powerful Heavenly King in the Federation."
Lu Zhan sighed, his expression complex.
He could tell that Ning Chuan offended Lin Fengyang in order to help him relieve stress.
"It's nothing, let's not talk about it."
Ning Chuan smiled, then handed over a spatial ring, saying, " Uncle Lu, this is a one-time use Martial Seal for the Divine Wave Meditation Method, along with some Spirit-Nourishing Liquid and Spirit-Transforming Fruit. Take these and use them."
"This..."
Lu Zhan gave a bitter smile.
The favor Ning Chuan owed him could be said to have been repaid back on the day they fought against the Wang Family.
"Don't be so formal with me, Uncle Gu also gets a share, but it'll be a smaller portion."
Ning Chuan said with a smile, "Also, Uncle Lu, if you really want to repay me, then do me a favor."
Lu Zhan's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "You speak."
"It's nothing serious!"
Ning Chuan waved his hand, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "How about a friendly spar with me? I'd like to try my luck at being the Federation's number one Knight!"
Lu Zhan glanced at him, slightly surprised.
Ning Chuan spread his hands and laughed, "Alright, to be honest, I want to see the difference between me and Uncle Lu."
After defeating Lin Xiaoyun, his ranking on the Knight Rankings rose significantly.
Currently ranked third!
However, Ning Chuan was not blindly arrogant.
He knew very well that he was no match for Lu Zhan in his current state.
In the past, when Bai Qi descended, Lu Zhan thought he had been attacked by the Heavenly King and rushed to his rescue, his speed exceeding eight times the speed of sound.
This alone is a problem he will find difficult to solve.
"OK."
Lu Zhan agreed, looking at Ning Chuan, and asked, "How would you like to spar?"
Ning Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll attack while you defend. I'll just use one move to test my offensive capabilities."
"Bring it on."
Lu Zhan said calmly.
The words were finished.
With a thought, Ning Chuan's surrounding space distorted, manifesting a golden Stars. The next moment, an exquisite purple spear emerged from it, its blade gleaming, surrounded by dazzling divine light, as radiant as the sun.
A terrifying pressure spread out, causing the entire manor to tremble and making people's hearts pound.
Divine Weapon, Heavenly Punishment!
In terms of offensive capabilities, Ning Chuan's strongest weapon right now is still the Divine Treasury of Ten Thousand Weapons.
His Fusion Mystic Truth is slightly weaker.
After all, neither the level of comprehension nor the level of integration had reached its limit.
boom!
The Heaven's Punishment War Spear shot out, swirling with a vast expanse of lightning, resembling a thunderous pool stretching across the sky, its power astounding. In an instant, it reached Lu Zhan's front.
Lu Zhan remained calm, raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and grabbed at the blade of Heavenly Punishment.
In his palm, a black sun rose, swelled like lightning, and when it touched the Heaven's Punishment War Spear, it silently devoured it without any violent collision, only burning fiercely.
A moment later, the blazing black sun went out.
The Heaven's Punishment War Spear appeared, hovering in mid-air. Lu Zhan grasped the blade with one hand, and the divine light flowing across it had vanished.
"It's really far from good."
Ning Chuan shook his head with a wry smile, controlling the Heaven's Punishment War Spear to dissipate into a mist of light, which then returned to his body.
Although it was only one of his thousands of Divine Weapon, and its power was far less than that of a volley, it was still one of the thirty-three strongest Divine Weapon.
The key point is that he didn't go all out in the Lu Zhan either.
However, Ning Chuan was not disappointed.
His Divine Treasury of Ten Thousand Weapons has not yet evolved to its related Mystic Truth.
The Divine Metal Liquid obtained from several Heavenly King has only been partially used. Once it is completely exhausted, its power will reach a new level.
"Not far off."
Lu Zhan shook his head and earnestly informed Ning Chuan.
As he spoke, he opened his right hand, revealing a wound on his palm from which bright red blood seeped.
Ning Chuan grinned and teased, " Uncle Lu, you'd better work hard, or I'll surpass you."
I'll try my best.
A glint flashed in Lu Zhan's eyes, as if he had made a momentous decision.
"Let's go, dinner is ready."
After this exchange, the awkwardness between the two dissipated, and they talked for a long time, discussing everything from their daily experiences to their insights into martial arts, until late at night.
The next day.
During his breakfast break, Ning Chuan browsed through the information about the Chosen Battle.
It will be held on January 10th, which is tomorrow.
The Rule aren't complicated.
Contestants are selected from their respective administrative regions and then travel to other administrative regions to compete against local talents.
If they lose, they must leave the administrative region.
There are two options.
Either withdraw from the Chosen Battle.
You can either choose the next administrative region and start over.
If you maintain a winning streak and achieve brilliant results, you can earn the title of Federation Prodigy.
Furthermore, the administrative region will send its strongest fighter to challenge them.
If we win, we've conquered this administrative region and won a championship.
At this moment, Butler Bei stepped in and said respectfully, "Mr. Ning, Director Gu and Wang Fu, the highest-ranking official of the Donglin, have arrived and wish to see you."
"Okay, let's go."
Ning Chuan put down his tablet, got up, and left the restaurant.
Before long, led by the Butler Bei, Ning Chuan arrived at a reception room and met Gu Tianyu and a middle-aged man of medium build, dressed in a sharp suit, who appeared capable.
"Hello, Hall Master Ning, my name is Wang Fu!"
After introducing himself, Wang Fu bowed deeply and said, "Thank you so much for being willing to fight for Donglin. This is an honor for the entire Donglin!"
Ning Chuan smiled faintly, "Mr. Wang, you're too kind. Just call me by my name."
"I wouldn't dare! Soon, Hall Master Ning will step into the King Realm and be crowned Heavenly King!"
Wang Fu smiled modestly.
He looked at Ning Chuan, his heart filled with turmoil.
He knew about the young man before him as early as when the Eternal Night King Physique was exposed, and he even specially instructed his secretary to double the government's reward so that the young man could grow faster and be able to cope with this year's Chosen Battle.
Unexpectedly, Ning Chuan's growth rate far exceeded his expectations.
In less than a year, he had become a figure whom he had to look up to.
"Did you get Uncle Lu's guardian status?"
Ning Chuan looked at Gu Tianyu.
Wang Fu spoke first, saying, "It's all arranged."
Did you encounter any difficulties?
Ning Chuan asked casually.
The Donglin Government certainly had factions that were close to Lin Fengyang.
Wang Fu replied in a deep voice, "There were a few dissenting voices, but they have been resolved and will not affect your match."
He knew that this move would inevitably alienate Lin Fengyang.
But if it can establish a friendship between the Donglin Government and Ning Chuan, it will be worth it.
"That's fine."
Ning Chuan nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then said, " Hall Master Ning, the contestants in the Chosen Battle all have their own live streaming channels. We have prepared a professional filming team and three commentators for you. I wonder if that's feasible?"
"Can."
Ning Chuan nodded casually and asked, "Which three commentators are you referring to?"
You know them all.
Wang Fu smiled and said, " Yan Zhuang, who was recently promoted to Director-General of the Education Department."
Your classmate in the college entrance examination Li Haoyun.
There's also Wang Ershui, a reporter from Qingshan City Television Station. Her commentary skills are relatively average, but she can lighten the mood.
"Thank you for your trouble," Ning Chuan said.
Wang Fu smiled broadly and said, "Not at all. Your participation in the Chosen Battle is a great honor for Donglin."
"This is indeed a fortunate thing for Donglin!"
Gu Tianyu echoed, glancing at Ning Chuan, and laughed, "You don't know, the geniuses from the other administrative regions of the Federation are all itching to conquer the Donglin Administrative Region because of your existence."
"However, I'm very curious to see how they'll feel when the news of your participation is revealed tomorrow."
