Chapter 53: Drunkard and the Old Man
Chapter 53: Drunkard and the Old Man
"Are you going to laugh at me for not being able to deal with Zhu Zhuqing? Even Zhu Zhuqing is going to betray me? Humph, you guys misjudged me. Zhu Zhuqing, she also misjudged me. But so what? I, Dai Mubai, am a real man, and I will naturally prove myself."
Dai Mubai laughed heartily, his laughter making a barbell-like sound.
Then, his laughter gradually died down and he became embarrassed because he found that Davis and Zhu Zhuyun were looking at him as if he were mentally retarded.
Even his teammates seemed to have understood what was going on, and there was something strange in the way they looked at him.
Did I say something wrong?
"Um, Mu Bai. Have you forgotten which team you are in now?"
Davis looked at Dai Mubai strangely and said suggestively.
"Here is the Tendou Royal Team Three. What's wrong? What's the problem?"
Dai Mubai said in confusion.
"You joined the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy team, and then wanted to obtain the position of the crown prince of the Xingluo Empire by defeating our Xingluo Royal Team and winning glory for the Tiandou Royal Family?"
Davis said, trying hard not to laugh.
In an instant, Dai Mubai couldn't help but take two steps back, as if he had suddenly realized something; at this moment, he felt dizzy and his eyes went dark.
That’s right, as a prince of the Xing Luo Empire; is there a possibility that, the moment he put on the purple and gold uniform of the Tiandou Royal Team and stepped onto the stage of the All-Continental Soul Master Competition, his political career was completely sentenced to death?
Of course, as a prince of the Xingluo Empire, a death penalty in a political career basically means a death penalty in a biological sense.
No wonder. When he was recruited by the damn Fifth Prince Xueli at Lanba Academy, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't think about it at the time, what was wrong.
Indeed, as long as he is on this competition stage that is watched by the entire continent, no matter which academy he represents, even if it is Shrek Academy in its green school uniform, as long as he can defeat Davis, he will be recognized by the Star Luo Empire and become the future crown prince.
However, among all these colleges, the only one that does not include the Tiandou Royal Soul Master College is the Tiandou Royal Soul Master College! What kind of behavior is this? To put it more seriously, this is treason! What's more, he is playing against the Xingluo Royal Team on such an important competition stage!
If he loses, he can still explain that he went deep behind enemy lines and endured hardships. But if he wins.
The consequences would be more serious than losing! Everyone in the Xingluo Empire would want to get rid of him as soon as possible!
He had been thinking about how to defeat Davis and how to get the recognition of his father and the nobles. However, he had forgotten the most important and fatal thing!
At this moment, he wanted to roar, tear the purple and gold uniform on his body into pieces, and jump off the fighting arena! Am I willing to do this? I am also desperate!
After the exchange between the two sides, the referee gave the order and the match officially began. Facing the powerful Davis, the distraught Dai Mubai could only block three moves before Davis roared and swept him off the stage with a "sweeping move" and he fainted.
In the distance, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai who was unconscious in the arena, and a complicated look appeared in her eyes. That look was not sadness for Dai Mubai, nor was it sympathy, but an unspeakable emotion.
How could my fiancé, the person who was destined to share life and death with me, end up with such a ridiculous ending?
It's lamentable and sad, but it doesn't seem pitiful.
Zhu Zhuqing also put on the purple-gold battle uniform of the Tiandou Royal Team. However, when she put on this battle uniform and stepped onto the stage of the All-Continental Soul Master Competition, she had already made up her mind to completely sever her relationship with the Star Luo Empire. Perhaps, this severance is not so easy, and the people of the Star Luo Empire may continue to pester her.
But she also has the courage to deal with whatever comes next.

"Sigh. Should I call you His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, or Morax?"
In a quiet corner far away, inside a pergola for people to sit and rest, a young man with blue hair was lazily lying on a soft chair, pouring a sip of wine into his mouth, and said drunkenly.
"Let's stick to the old rules. The drunkard poet."
Zhongli crossed his arms and looked at this old friend who looked the same as before, and said calmly, "Okay, old man. Looking at you like this, are you still going to rebuild Liyue in this world? Alas, as a bard, I have endless themes to sing. Alas, old man, you are still so good to me."
The boy blinked his beautiful emerald eyes and said.
"It's not that I want to rebuild Liyue; it's that the people of this world are suffering, and I can only do my best to protect a small part of this world."
Zhongli shook his head and said with some emotion.
"Alas, you are a person who can never be idle. At first, you seemed to have left the throne of the emperor and wandered around the world. But I am the only one who knows that your eyes are still fixed on Yuehai Pavilion and Liyue Harbor!"
The young man burped and said with a drunken look. Zhongli also fell silent.
"Aren't you going to meet the Grand Inquisitor? He is a man of great talent. It's just that, due to some emotional issues, he hasn't come to see you yet and has always kept a low profile. Didn't your Liyue have the story of 'three visits to the thatched cottage' in ancient times? It takes three visits to invite Crouching Dragon; if you want to invite the Water Dragon King, you should also visit him three times. It's also the custom of the ancients!"
The young man put down the wine jug, looked at Zhongli with a faint smile, and continued.
"It took him a lot of effort to finally see that person again. It's better to wait for some time before bothering him again."
Zhongli sighed and said. At the same time, a complex color flashed in his amber eyes.
"Well, then let's wish you a successful start. I'm just a lazy guy, so don't worry about me. In the Kamikaze Academy match later, don't let your students bully me."
The boy said with a look of fear on his face.
Zhongli: "."
Just pretend.
After the two finished chatting, they separated and returned to their own academy teams. At this time, the competition on the fighting spirit stage had basically come to an end.
Tiandou Royal Team 3 still won the final victory in this fighting spirit game. However, this battle was much more difficult than all the previous games. Only three main players, Jiangzhu, Ailin, and Duguyan, persisted to the end. The only two substitutes who played, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, were eliminated by the opponent the fastest, which also reflects the huge gap in strength between the main players and the substitutes.
In the end, out of the 33 teams in the finals, only six teams remained and entered the semi-finals. They were the Wuhun Hall Team, Tiandou Royal Team 3, Shenfeng Academy, Tianshui Academy, Leiting Academy, and Tiandou Royal Team 1.
Among them, in addition to the golden generation of the Spirit Hall team, the performance of the Tiandou Royal Team 3 and Tianshui College was the most outstanding. There is no need to mention the Tiandou Royal Team 3; before the match with the Xingluo Royal Team, few people were optimistic about this Tiandou Team 3, even though this team had already shown its impressive strength. But unexpectedly, the one who laughed last was actually this Tiandou Team 3, and it made it to the semi-finals with Team 1.
In fact, in the eyes of many people, the strength of Team 3 actually seems to be much better than Team 1. If Team 1 were to face the Xingluo Royal Team, it would be in danger.
And the Tianshui College, which usually keeps a low profile, showed up three mysterious players this time, one male and two females, who performed extremely well. Especially the handsome man with a tuft of white hair on his forehead, who was incredibly powerful; in the last match against Xiangjia College, his players didn't even make a move, he just turned around a few times and the opponents all fell down.
Even when he won, there was always no expression on that man's face.
