Chapter 667 - 666: The Championship is White Eagle’s! The Divine Son is Great Xia’s
Chapter 667: Chapter 666: The Championship is White Eagle’s! The Divine Son is Great Xia’s
Ying Country.
New Delhi City.
Chu Sheng brought the ten competing students to this very significant city.
This time.
Unlike last year, the organizers didn’t arrange any desperate trials for the contestants from the various nations.
Because there was simply no need.
When they learned that the White Eagle Empire had produced a nine-year-old King Realm prodigy...
All the other countries knew perfectly well.
This time, they were all just here to be sparring partners.
They had traveled all this way just to let their students broaden their horizons and see the world.
Consequently, the competition venue this time was also exceptionally crude.
There was only a single, simple, temporarily constructed arena.
The rules of the competition were also very simple.
The White Eagle Empire: 1v9.
One country would challenge the contestants from all the other nations.
At last year’s Youth Martial Dao Tournament, Gu Yuexi had once proposed that Great Xia fight 1v9.
At the time, it had stunned the entire audience.
Everyone thought Gu Yuexi had gone mad.
Everyone believed Gu Yuexi was overestimating her own abilities.
But this time, when the White Eagle Empire proposed the same rule...
...everyone just felt it was a matter of course.
Not a single country raised an objection.
There wasn’t even the slightest hint of dissent.
The students from the other countries were all chatting and laughing, relaxed and at ease.
They were going to lose anyway.
So why be so nervous?
There was no shame in losing.
Winning would be the truly bizarre thing.
Only the Great Xia Team...
...had an atmosphere that was particularly solemn.
The ten students were rubbing their fists, their eyes filled with fighting spirit.
They firmly believed.
That by following Chu Sheng, Great Xia would definitely be able to create a miracle and win the competition again.
"Teacher Wen, please lay out the strategy for us."
The Great Xia Team’s captain, Lin Feng, looked at Chu Sheng and said earnestly.
"We’ll follow your command and give it our all!"
The other students nodded one after another, looking at Chu Sheng with determined eyes.
But Chu Sheng’s next words left the Great Xia students standing there, completely stunned.
"Strategy, my ass."
Chu Sheng waved his mosquito legs and said nonchalantly.
"Just remember one thing I say."
"If you run into that little girl named Xue, just surrender immediately. Don’t worry about it being shameful."
"Focus on your safety. Just don’t die."
"If you die, it’ll be hard for me to explain it to Principal Li."
The excitement and fighting spirit on the faces of the Great Xia students instantly vanished without a trace.
One by one, they hung their heads in dejection, unwilling to give up.
"But, Teacher Wen!" Lin Feng said anxiously.
"Back then, your and Senior Gu’s Realms were also far inferior to the other contestants."
"In the end, didn’t you still crush everyone and take first place?!"
"We can do it too!"
Chu Sheng squinted at them sideways.
"Don’t get obsessed with me."
"I’m just a legend."
"Got it?"
The students who could represent Great Xia in the competition were no fools.
They naturally understood the meaning behind Chu Sheng’s words.
That little girl named Xue was so powerful that even Chu Sheng believed they had zero chance of winning.
Involuntarily, they all became even more dejected.
The deputy team leader, Teacher Huang, saw that the confidence of these chosen ones had been utterly shattered.
He was about to offer a few words of comfort...
...but Chu Sheng stopped him.
"If they can’t even accept a small failure like this, they’ll just be useless in the future."
Teacher Huang paused, taken aback.
Then he understood Chu Sheng’s meaning.
These prodigies had lived smooth-sailing lives since childhood and had never experienced a real setback.
They were still flowers in a greenhouse.
If they didn’t experience some blows, how could they ever truly grow up?
They didn’t have to wait long.
The Global Youth Martial Dao Tournament officially began.
There was no opening speech.
No passionate, stirring oration.
And certainly no hot dance performances by beautiful women.
Under the simple direction of an old Emperor Realm expert from Ying Country, the Martial Dao Tournament kicked off directly.
The course of the competition was completely devoid of suspense.
The White Eagle girl named Xue stood on the arena stage in a white dress, her face expressionless.
No matter who came up to challenge her...
...she only needed to give a light wave of her hand.
Her opponent would instantly be frozen in place.
Then, they would automatically surrender.
No one knew what kind of technique she was using.
And no one could see her movements clearly.
The competition was over in just one hour.
The girl from White Eagle named Xue won without a shred of suspense.
She easily took the championship title of the Youth Martial Dao Tournament.
Becoming the new Divine Son.
The entire time, Chu Sheng was carefully watching Xue’s matches.
The more he watched, the more he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity with this little girl.
This continued until Xue’s fight with Great Xia’s strongest member, Captain Lin Feng.
Lin Feng gave it his all, unleashing his most powerful Attack.
Xue finally did more than just simply wave her hand.
Her gaze shifted slightly.
In an instant, the time around them froze.
Lin Feng’s Attack hung suspended in mid-air.
His entire body was also frozen in place, completely motionless.
It was at this exact moment.
The Time Law within Chu Sheng’s body and Xue’s Time Law suddenly resonated with intense power.
’Strange.’
Chu Sheng frowned.
’I inexplicably obtained my Time Law during my eighth full evolution last year.’
’For some unknown reason at the time, I suddenly absorbed 1,500 points of Time Realm Comprehension.’
’Back then, I thought it was the heavens giving this Lord Mosquito a special treat because I’m so handsome.’
’In any case, it was a tangible benefit, so I didn’t think much of it.’
’But looking at it now, it seems to be related to this little girl named Xue.’
’And what’s more, the sight of this little girl’s back looks really familiar.’
Chu Sheng carefully thought back.
Only then did he remember.
Back when he completed his eighth evolution and came out of the cave...
...he had seen the back of a small, blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl at the cave’s entrance.
At that time, he had felt that the little girl was very familiar, almost like family.
But Chu Sheng was a Great Xia mosquito, born and bred.
He had absolutely no connection to any White Eagle Empire bloodline whatsoever.
In the end, he didn’t dwell on it and went straight to find Gu Yuexi.
’It seems this Xue is the same little girl I saw back then.’
’But why do I feel like she’s so familiar?’
’And what’s with this feeling that our Powers of Law come from the same source?’
Chu Sheng racked his brain but couldn’t figure out the key to it all.
’When in doubt, ask Immortal Venerable Shi Xi.’
He sank his consciousness into the Primordial Grotto Heaven.
"Immortal Venerable, Immortal Venerable!"
"I feel like that little girl outside in the white dress is very familiar. Could you take a look for me?"
Hearing Chu Sheng’s words, Immortal Venerable Shi Xi nodded.
She borrowed Chu Sheng’s body to cast a divine art.
And cast her gaze toward Xue on the arena stage.
At first, Immortal Venerable Shi Xi furrowed her brow.
She seemed to be pondering some difficult problem.
A few seconds later.
She suddenly widened her eyes.
A look of shock, the likes of which Chu Sheng had never seen on her before, appeared on her face.
After another few seconds...
...the shock on her face slowly faded.
It was replaced by a look of understanding.
"So that’s how it is."
Seeing that Immortal Venerable Shi Xi had figured things out...
Chu Sheng asked impatiently, "Immortal Venerable, do I have a connection to that little girl named ’Xue’ or not?"
"You do."
"And you don’t."
This was the first time Chu Sheng had ever seen Immortal Venerable Shi Xi speak in riddles.
He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Immortal Venerable, since when did you get so mischievous?"
"Yes is yes, no is no."
"What do you mean, ’I do and I don’t’?"
Immortal Venerable Shi Xi chuckled before slowly explaining the reason.
"In her first life, Gu Yuexi also followed the Beast Taming Dao, you know that, right?"
Chu Sheng nodded. "I know."
