" Junbao, after Shi Jiang fought against you, he announced that he had graduated and was going to train in the Wilderness Zone."
"What is it about you that makes Shi Jiang give up such lucrative conditions at the Elite Training Camp and go to the Wilderness Zone?" Chu Qiang asked.
" Chu Qiang, I only have one question for you: what is your dream?" Zhang Junbao asked with a faint smile.
"..."
This question caught Chu Qiang off guard. He thought about his superior conditions, how he had always been the "other people's child" in other people's eyes since childhood, and how he had become a top genius at a young age, entering the world's highest-level Elite Training Camp.
All you have to do is wait five years, and upon graduation you'll be a powerful figure. Unlike other martial artists who struggle on the brink of death every day, risking their lives to fight monsters for a little bit of resources.
What exactly is my dream?
"You already possess the strength of High-level War God, so what is it that keeps you stuck in the Elite Training Camp?"
It's ridiculous, isn't it? Is your goal merely to become a trained elite, rather than a powerful figure revered by all?
"Don't try to sway my resolve; my ideals can only be realized by relying on a stronger force."
Fight, Zhang Junbao!
For our respective dreams!
Chu Qiang felt he couldn't continue talking to Zhang Junbao; he vaguely understood why Shi Jiang had left.
For the sake of a martial arts dream?
Five minutes later, the door to the Challenge Room opened, and the emotionless electronic voice sounded again.
" Chu Qiang vs. Zhang Junbao, Zhang Junbao wins!"
"Hiss, is there really no one who can stop Zhang Junbao?"
Even Chu Qiang, who was ranked second, was defeated. Will Renatus Bridge be our savior?
"Renatus Bridge, tell us, you will defeat Zhang Junbao, right?" An America student gasped, despair in his eyes, placing his last hope on Renatus Bridge.
The only person in the entire Training Camp who could possibly stop Zhang Junbao right now is Renatus Bridge, who has always held the top spot in the Elite Training Camp.
As for Candace, who was deliberately saved for last?
Don't be ridiculous. Even Chu Qiang was ranked second, failed. Does anyone really expect Candace was ranked in the thirties, to suddenly have a breakthrough and defeat Zhang Junbao?
If a month ago, people might have thought Zhang Junbao was overestimating himself when he challenged Candace, now, seeing that Zhang Junbao deliberately left Candace until the end, it was simply the greatest humiliation for him.
But Candace couldn't give up no matter what; even if others lost, it was only for an hour of training time in the ancient Gravity Chamber.
Although it hurts a little, it's not to the point of being unable to accept defeat.
His heir sword is still in Zhang Junbao's hands. Without it, his status as the first heir of the Polenas Family would likely be in jeopardy. For the past month, his younger siblings have been constantly looking for opportunities to put pressure on him, all waiting for this farcical gambling match to come to a close.
For Candace, this was no different from killing him. Having lost his status as the first heir, he couldn't even imagine how his brothers and sisters would deal with Candace.
The Polenas Family is not a kind family; just look at his aunt, Venina Polenas, known as Venina " Scorpion Polenas," who is the current patriarch's younger sister.
Ruthless and vicious is Venina Polenas ' true nature!
Candace was intimately familiar with his family's environment; he himself had fought his way up from it. How could Candace possibly accept being forced back into an environment where he was once again suppressed?
But now, does Candace still have any hope of getting the sword back? Perhaps this is just wishful thinking on Candace's part.
At least for now, apart from Candace himself, no one thinks he has any hope of getting back the sword that symbolizes his status as the first heir of the Polenas Family.
"Why? It's only been a month, why did things turn out like this? Damn Zhang Junbao, it's all your fault!"
No, I absolutely cannot lose my position as the first in line to the throne.
Oh, right, Auntie, I still have my aunt who can help me!
Candace's eyes were bloodshot and he was on the verge of madness. Zhang Junbao's rise had left Candace with no hope of defeating him. Was he really going to just hand over the family heirship to someone else?
No! Absolutely not!
"Aunt." Candace dialed Venina Polenas's video call.
" Candace, my darling, it's been so long."
"What's wrong with you? You don't seem to be behaving properly," Venina asked, noticing the madness in Candace's eyes.
"Aunt, that Zhang Junbao, I... I'm not confident I can beat him." Candace's tone was filled with resentment and helplessness. Facing her family, Candace finally revealed her inner fear.
"My dear, the family is already very unhappy because you lost the family heir's sword."
Some have even suggested abolishing your status as the first heir in order to curry favor with Zhang Junbao of Huaxia.
"His talent has already caught the eye of those old fogies in the family, who are even willing to go to any lengths to invite him to join our family," Venina said.
"No, they can't do that. I am the first heir of the Polenas Family! Zhang Junbao is just an outsider, and an enemy who stole our family's heir's sword. Why should we curry favor with our enemy?"
"Besides, there's no way Zhang Junbao could join our family. Don't those old guys understand?"
Upon hearing this news, Candace felt even more desperate.
When he faced difficulties, instead of helping him, his powerful family used him as a sacrifice to curry favor with Zhang Junbao, who was opposing him, which completely broke Candace.
Who is the biological child of the family?
"Baby, calm down. I know it's almost impossible for Zhang Junbao to join our family. Huaxia won't let a genius who could potentially Beyond War God leave so easily."
But you should know that your older and younger brothers are all envious of your position, but the mistake you made this time was indeed too serious, and your aunt can't really say anything."
"Unless..." Venina shook her head and said.
"Unless, I can defeat him in the Challenge Room!"
"Right, Auntie, you'll help me, won't you?"
"No, Candace, that method can't be used. Don't you know William's condition after you secretly gave William that drug? That would completely ruin your future."
"Aunt, if I don't get the Heir's Sword back this time, will I still have a future?" Candace asked palely.
"Aunt, I beg you, please help me! The rest of the family is ignoring me. Just help me! I don't care about the future anymore; all I want now is to defeat Zhang Junbao!"
Venina could see that Candace was almost driven crazy by the invisible pressure from Zhang Junbao.
On one hand, there was his absolutely inviolable status as the first heir of the family; on the other hand, there was Zhang Junbao, against whom he had no chance of winning by normal means. In Candace's mind, only a final act of madness could bring him a glimmer of hope.
Seeing Candace in a dilemma, Venina nodded with difficulty.
Even if there are aftereffects, Venina believes that with the power of the Polenas Family, they will definitely be able to find a cure.
For Candace at this point, drinking poison to quench his thirst is the best possible solution.
