Chapter 471 Can't You Learn From Your Lesson?
On the rostrum, Regent Xu Tianran arrived early. Ju Zi sat down next to him and served him a cup of fragrant tea.
Xu Tianran drank his tea leisurely and asked Jing Hongchen on the other side, "Master Hongchen, your grandson was afraid before the battle and actually admitted defeat on behalf of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. I have received many memorials impeaching you in the past two days. What do you think?"
Jing Hongchen thought that he should have spent more money to let Long Xiaoyao twist the eunuch's neck, but on the surface he was still terrified and sincere, "Your Highness, I have asked them. Xiao has his own considerations. If they give up this game, the Sun Moon Team can still qualify and have enough time to rest and enter the quarterfinals in the best condition. If they fight with Long Pavilion and both lose, only two days will not be enough for them to recover. How can they fight against the other eight teams? I think that the Sun Moon Team is doing this for the glory of the empire!"
Xu Tianran's expression looked better. "They are all pillars of the empire. Please tell Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen that one failure does not mean anything. Failure is the mother of success. It is precisely because of the painful experience of failure that their future path will be more correct."
Go to hell with the loading! Jing Hongchen had to admire this disabled but strong-willed prince. The damage caused to him by Fu Rui's attack was immeasurable, and the extremely sharp mysterious power was still attacking his body. In the end, he still managed to show up in the competition with his broken body. How much did he love watching the game?
However, even though he complained, Jing Hongchen couldn't fail to see Xu Tianran's intention. The emperor was seriously ill, and if anything happened to him as the regent, the country might be in turmoil. So no matter what, he had to come forward and take the risk of being accidentally injured by the Dragon Pavilion contestants.
Kong Deming sat next to Xu Tianran with an expressionless face, and Zhongli Wudu had to move a little further back. Ever since Shrek Academy withdrew from the competition, he didn't pay much attention to the results of the competition. After all, his descendants had already returned to the Silver Moon Family.
In the battle between Longge and Sun Moon Team two days ago, Kong Deming was conducting research on soul guides in his own laboratory. If he was by Xu Tianran's side, Xu Tianran would never have been injured.
Of course, this might just be Xu Tianran's wishful thinking, but he still transferred Kong Deming to his side in the name of the heir to the throne and for his safety.
"Cough cough!" Xu Tianran burst into a violent cough, and blood foam immediately spurted out of his mouth. Juzi hurriedly wiped the blood stains for him with a clean handkerchief.
Xu Tianran's face became even uglier. He threw the orange away and wiped his mouth with his hand.
His internal injuries were already very serious. Although he had been treated by a healing spirit master, the effect was not ideal. His martial spirit and spiritual essence were severely damaged, and it would take a long time to recover. The injuries caused by the loss of his legs in his early years also put a huge burden on his body.
The imperial physician did not dare to tell him the truth, but the imperial teacher Zhongli Wu told him clearly that even with the best natural treasures, he would probably not live more than fifty years. Of course, part of the reason was that Zhongli Wu might not have seen the best natural treasures, so he came to this conclusion that caused Xu Tianran to have a heart attack. Another part of the reason was that Zhongli Wu was unhappy with him, so he spoke frankly.
And he is only in his thirties now, and his life has entered the countdown of fifty years, which means that he will not live to be ninety years old. Not to mention that he is destined to be the future emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire. As a Titled Douluo, although there is a lot of water in his status, no Titled Douluo will not live beyond ninety years old under normal circumstances.
Under such circumstances, how could Xu Tianran be in a good mood?
In fact, he is now completely holding on to his spirit. At this moment, he knows very well that he must not fall down, otherwise, the good situation he has just created may suffer a fatal blow.
"Master, what do you think is the chance of Tang Clan winning against Long Ge?" The first match was about to begin. Xu Tianran was as excited as the audience, and with Kong Deming by his side, he felt that he could do it again.
"..." Zhongli Wu was very tired. He wanted to ask Xu Tianran, "Are you blind? With such a huge difference in combat power, you asked me what my chances of winning are?"
It’s good enough that the Blue Silver Saint’s life can be saved!
He originally wanted to tear up part of the agreement and let the Tang Sect withdraw from the competition, but his mother disagreed. Ye Xishui believed that the Holy Spirit Church only needed one Saintess, and with the Black Kite Saintess, the Blue Silver Saintess seemed insignificant.
"Eighty percent..." It's over.
Xu Tianran looked at him with some surprise, and then he was ecstatic, "Oh? So the Tang Sect still has a real killer weapon?"
Zhongli Wu really wanted to just walk away. Their trump card was Tang Ya, the Soul Saint, and it took him a lot of resources to build it.
Xu Tianran misunderstood Zhongli Wu's silence. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then let's look forward to the wonderful performance of Tang Sect."
Actually, Xu Tianran didn't have much preference for this match, although he really wanted to see the scene of heavy casualties in Longge. The Tang Sect, or the Holy Spirit Church, was closely related to him.
But he also disliked this evil soul master sect. The two sides were just using each other. If the Tang Sect lost this match, the pressure from public opinion would be much smaller. If the Tang Sect won, it would just be a relief. But if the Tang Sect won the championship, the pressure from public opinion would be much greater. It could even be said that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, which had a tradition of tens of thousands of years, would be ruined.
Therefore, no matter whether the Tang Sect wins or loses, it has its pros and cons for Xu Tianran. He likes watching the game without bias, as long as the people from Longge don't deliberately fight against him.
The audiences below the stage could almost see that this was simply an advance final. In terms of overall strength, the Dragon Pavilion, which had a minimum of three Soul Saints, and the Tang Sect, which was composed entirely of evil soul masters, were much stronger than their other opponents.
Invincible Douluo Zheng Zhan took the stage again. Ever since he joined the competition, the casualty rate has been greatly reduced, unless encountering those perverts from Long Ge. Therefore, he serves as the referee for almost all important competitions, and today is no exception.
Of course, he knew that the upcoming match would be the most difficult one for him to officiate in this tournament. But he had already received instructions from his superiors that for this match, he only needed to relax the standards and let them do what they wanted without interfering too much.
But when he learned that the order was given by Xu Tianran himself, his expression changed subtly.
Your Highness, you are really not afraid of death!
