Chapter 153 – …Without Battling (1/2)
Luo Luo could directly enter the Mausoleum of Books to observe the monument, but she still appealed before His Holiness’ seat for an entire night, requesting entry into the Grand Examination, why? This was because she wanted to help sweep away all obstacles for her tutor, Chen Chang Sheng.
In the duelling phase, for every opponent she defeated, Chen Chang Sheng would have one less.
From this perspective, the stronger the opponent she is matched against, the closer it would fit her intent. Especially with the two considered to be the strongest, Gou Han Shi and Tian Hai Sheng Xue, even if she couldn’t defeat them, she would still try and make them expend a lot of effort on her, at least causing them to sustain fairly heavy injuries. With this, when Chen Chang Sheng matches up against them, he could retain a modicum of hope.
Therefore, when she drew Tian Hai Sheng Xue for the second round, everyone present was shocked, only, she was very calm, perhaps even a little happy.
Chen Chang Sheng hadn’t thought about the reason why Luo Luo wanted to participate in the Grand Examination, at this time, being reminded by Tang Thirty-Six, all it took was some consideration and the reason became clear, because of this, he lowered his head to look at the brand new boots on his feet, remaining quiet for a long time, before lifting his head and saying to Tang Thirty-Six: “I will definitely win.”
Tang Thirty-Six looked at him and said: “That isn’t something you should be saying to me, but something you should tell her.”
Chen Chang Sheng replied: “I don’t need to tell her; she also knows.”
While they were conversing, the door to the tower once again closed.
Today’s duelling was being conducted in the Tower of Purging Dust, that door was destined to close countless times, soon, it will continue to close many more times; the hinges’ creaking became ever shriller, but none of the other occasions had engrossed the attention of everyone present as much as this occasion, the creaking sound was most distinct.
This was the strongest battle since this year’s examination had commenced.
A Princess of White Emperor City, with a tremendously strong bloodline talent, able to cause the Proclamation of Azure Clouds to require a sudden update, Her Highness, Luo Luo.
A most favoured grandnephew of Her Divine Majesty, that had successfully completed his Ethereal Opening amidst the bloody battle against experts of the demon race at Yung Xue Pass, Tian Hai Sheng Xue.
Such a match could naturally captivate everyone’s attention.
The lonely youth, who had kept himself separate from the crowd and turned his back on the entire world, had also turned his gaze towards the tower.
Within the deepest parts of Wo Fu Zhe Xiu’s ice-like eyes, the flickers of a flame were currently growing.
Within the tower, it was very peaceful.
Tian Hai Sheng Xue and Luo Luo stood opposite from each other; they calmly greeted each other, then stood straight.
Neither raised their hand against each other.
The sunlight within the Green Leaf World shone upon Tian Hai Sheng Xue’s face, his complexion was whiter than snow.
Luo Luo stood quietly, her picturesque looks within this picturesque world remained charmingly pretty.
Tian Hai Sheng Xue quietly listened to the sounds transmitted from outside, then suddenly started laughing.
It couldn’t be denied that his laughter was slightly beguiling.
Luo Luo was naturally not enticed, but she was slightly perplexed, Tian Hai Sheng Xue had never laughed outside of the tower, why was he laughing at this moment?
“A lot of people wish for me to battle against Your Highness, because in the duelling phase of the examination, only I and Gou Han Shi can defeat you; yet, in comparison to Gou Han Shi, I seem to be more suited to battling against you.”
He continued: “This is because even if I really was to hurt you, the Royal White Emperor Couple wouldn’t be too resentful of me, in consideration of Her Divine Majesty.”
