Chapter 23 He only lost his life, but he insulted your relatives! (Ch 23)

“So that’s how it is. You are insulting the imperial concubine…”
“This Xu Cheng is a prince. He must be insulting his mother. This man is really hateful.”
“That’s a bit too crazy. You really think you’re something.”
“…”
The discussion gradually began.
The noisy sound filled the entire venue.
Especially among the crowd, there are always those who are well-informed.
It hits the nail on the head.
The Nine Dragons are fighting for the throne.
This Wang Shaojie is a subordinate of the Fourth Prince, and he openly provoked Xu Cheng during the assessment. His purpose is obvious.
The student who had just frowned and thought that this was a bit too much, understood it instantly.
The struggle for the throne has always been full of dangers and crises throughout history. Wang Shaojie insists on being a pawn for the Fourth Prince and is unclear about his own position.
It’s sad and lamentable.
But that’s all.
As Wang Shaojie’s body was taken away, the students continued to pay close attention to the assessment as if nothing had happened.
…
“Ah Cheng, are you okay?”
Xiao Hongchen watched Xu Cheng walk to the rest area, and walked up to him and comforted him carefully.
Meng Hongchen, Nana who had arrived at some point, and even Tang Ya were all standing by, as were many classmates from the new class, who came to comfort them…
Xu Cheng was stunned.
The one who died was Wang Shaojie, why are you all here to comfort me?
Laugh at the world and speak righteously.
“He only lost a life, but you were insulted by him and your relatives!”
“Yeah yeah!”
Meng Hongchen nodded repeatedly.
Xu Cheng almost couldn’t hold it in, it was such a familiar formula.
However, it was also the first time that I felt the most sincere care from my classmates.
“Thank you everyone…”
Xu Cheng exhaled a breath and smiled.
Soon, the crowd that had gathered around him dispersed. After all, many students were about to take the test, so they all came to comfort Xu Cheng before the test…
“Is that your soul skill?” Xiao Hongchen came closer and asked curiously.
“Want to try it?” Xu Cheng smiled sideways.
“Forget it, forget it. It’s not enough, Cheng. You can’t play like this when you compete with me.” Xiao Hongchen said seriously.
He didn’t want to be treated like a fool, trapped in his own world, drooling and laughing foolishly on the stage.
“rest assured……”
Xu Cheng smiled.
“I’m not that bad.”
“Good brother!” Xiao Hongchen immediately smiled.
Xu Cheng put his arms on the railing and watched the game ahead.
In area number seven, Nana stepped into the field.
She was tall, and as she walked she casually pulled up her long dark red hair into a ponytail. With her wheat-colored skin and sharp eyes, she looked like a cheetah.
When entering the venue, she did not forget to look back and made a playful gesture to Xu Cheng.
Only after seeing Xu Cheng’s smile did he turn around.
When facing his opponent, his expression instantly turned cold.
“The second round of assessments… begins!”
…
Meng Hongchen glanced at Nana below.
He wielded the two dark red short blades with ease. With his ghost martial soul and agility attack soul mentor, his talent was one of the strongest in the entire grade, except for himself, Xiao, and Xu Cheng.
But the relationship with Cheng…
It seemed far closer than her, more like a childhood sweetheart’s familiarity.
This feeling of intimacy made her feel like a third party was intruding.
Meng Hongchen pursed her lips and glanced at Xu Cheng, who was chatting and laughing with his brother not far away. The sense of urgency in her heart became stronger and stronger.
I said secretly in my heart.
Who says that the sky-drop can’t defeat the green plum?
I want to be the last one to come out on top!
…
Sunset at dusk.
The setting sun shone on the path, stretching the shadows of several people very long.
Nana is extremely strong and won the competition easily.
Tang Ya is almost the same. Although she is still somewhat resistant to soul guides, her own strength is not weak either. At level twenty-one, she is among the best among her peers.
Everyone won a round, and to celebrate, Xiao Hongchen suggested that he treat everyone to a meal at the most luxurious restaurant in Xiamingdu…
“Hey, Cheng, does your mental power detection have the ability to be shared?”
Along the way, Xiao Hongchen asked curiously.
“…”
Xu Cheng shook his head.
“Maybe in four years.”
“Can this thing be accurate to a specific year?”
“So maybe.”
Xiao Hongchen: “…”
Speaking of which, the team distribution is quite interesting.
Meng Hongchen and Tang Ya walked hand in hand in the front, Xiao Hongchen and Xu Cheng followed closely behind, and Nana followed behind Xu Cheng.
Just as I was passing through the school gate.
Xu Cheng caught a glimpse of a figure standing there. The figure was not tall, but he stood as strong as a pine or cypress.
If he were an ordinary person, he would probably treat him as a kind and ordinary old man who teaches history.
But Xu Cheng, Xiao Hongchen and others knew clearly that not only them, but even the head of Mingde Hall had to be respectful when meeting him.
Sweeping monk…
Xu Cheng thought to himself.
I hurried forward to say hello casually.
“No need to be so polite. Are you going to a party?” Old Cheng asked with a smile.
“Yes, teacher.” Xu Cheng nodded respectfully.
“That’s unfortunate. Xu Cheng and I have something to do tonight. I’m afraid he can’t join you for dinner…” Old Cheng said in a gentle voice.
…
Mingde Hall.
In a quiet office.
This is a strategic and confidential place, and even ordinary Mingde Hall members are not qualified to enter.
But this ordinary old man brought Xu Chengming in.
The guards on both sides saluted.
The room is quite spacious.
Various books were piled on the wall, many of whose names Xu Cheng had never heard of. However, the worn surfaces and slightly yellowed pages showed that these books had a long history.
But there are no soul guide parts.
It can be seen that this old man, who holds a very high status in the academic world, has his studio and reading room clearly separated.
“The soul guide that Meng Hongchen gave you…was repaired by you?”
Without waiting for Xu Cheng to speak, Old Cheng said urgently.
“……yes.”
Xu Cheng nodded.
I thought to myself, it is indeed so…
“Your Highness, do you mind if I test you?” Old Cheng continued.
“Please…”
Xu Cheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
In the past month, he has read so much information and worked so hard, wasn’t it just for this moment?
“good.”
Old Cheng glanced at Xu Cheng, who was confident about his plan, and showed a look of satisfaction.
“First question, the core of this soul guide is about the soul guide ban. Each time it is adjusted, how many levels of core formations are required to drive it?”
“The fifth-level core formation is a dual formation core in addition to the original formation core. The principle is to engrave this formation core into the original formation core. The difficulty lies in the mutual exclusion of the formations. At the same time, its reference comes from the current ninth-level melee soul guide [Dragon Blood Sword], and the reference books [Detailed Investigation of Melee Soul Guide Sealing] [How to Make Dual Core Formations Not Exclude Each Other]…”
As Xu Cheng answered, the smile on Old Cheng’s face became more and more intense.
Obviously, he agreed with this answer.
“Not bad, very good…”
Mr. Cheng said with a smile.
“So, are you willing to take me as your master?”
