Chapter 78 - Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament (8) (1/2)

Dai Mubai who was lying on his bed looked at Tang San and said,

”Tang San, I actually know what's happening to me right now”

This shocked Tang San a little but he stayed quiet and waited for him to finish.

”I'm from the Star Luo's Imperial Family and am second in line to the throne, in our family, there are only two heirs to the throne every generation and there is a tradition where once we reach of age were supposed to fight to the death against each other”

Saying that he stopped and looked at Tang San, but Tang San had no change of expression and said something that surprised him,

”So you ran away from home not wanting to fight with you're brother didn't you”

”..... Yes, but how did you guess??”

”How could I not guess, I know that if we were put in the same position then the two of us would have both run away not wanting to fight against each other”

”Hahaha, that's true, I can see how you and I would have both run away from the fight... my brother and I were quite close when we were young but once he got to know about the tradition he changed and he… didn't want to die.... when I got to know I ran away, I guess that is enough to prove who the next emperor should be to my parents. But that's not the worst part… our family is very close to a duke family in our empire, my spirit before it got its variation had a spirit fusion with this family's unique spirit which was the Hell Civet spirit”

Tang San's expression didn't change so Dai Mubai continued.

”They don't have only two heirs like us but the two oldest female heirs are arranged to marry into our family, and this has been going on since the foundation of the empire. But the one who dies in the deathmatch in my family, their fiance would also be killed due to their loss. I was arranged to marry Zhu Zhuqing's second elder sister and my brother was arranged to marry the oldest sister, I was quite close to her and I also felt that she liked me but one day my brother's fiance, Zhu Zhuqing's older sister died and since the oldest had to marry the oldest of the other family my father passed an imperial decree which stated that Zhu Zhuqing's older sister, Zhu Zhuyun was to be married to my brother Dai Weisi.

I later found out that Zhu Zhuyun had a chance to still stay with me as our relationship had been decided by my father himself before and if her family brought this up there would be a conflict between the two families. But she chose my brother over me because he was much better than me…. I felt lost when I heard that, Zhu Zhuqing was supposed to be engaged to me but before that could happen I ran away from home. I later joined Shrek and when I saw Zhu Zhuqing join with you guys I had told her I was no longer interested in the throne or the family and had left it.

But she told me that she was here only to tell me that I would still have to participate in the tradition fight, from her relationship with you I can see that even my family had lost hope on me and only wants me dead now so they didn't bother setting up her as my fiance, this would also let Zhu Zhuqing's family owe them….. I feel like I should just die”

Tang San was listening didn't say anything to him at all and got up from his chair and slapped him.

”Boss Dai, I don't care about what your family wants at all, but if they want you dead, they would have to go through all the Shrek's Seven Devils, so don't ever say that you want to die or anything like that ever again, if not I'll beat you up to the point you would stop thinking about anything like that. As for your brother, I hardly doubt that he could match you at all now and Zhu Zhuqing's sister, though I want to curse her for what she did to you, I can only pity her for rejecting you, honestly you're considered the most eligible bachelor in the entire Heaven Dou right now, I can honestly say that even if you ask a princess to marry you her whole family would praise her for being beautiful to attract a man like you, she truly would regret the decision she made so why bother about her??

If you're interested, I can say that one of the sister's from Skywater Academy has the hots for you right now, she should be quite a strong spirit master to qualify for the ranking tournament and with your skills, I think you can even get her sister, having a pair of sisters with a spirit fusion as your lovers would be quite an achievement, even I would have to accept defeat against you, hahaha”

Hearing that even Dai Mubai couldn't help but laugh out loud, he felt quite relaxed after hearing what Tang San said, he then thought of all his time in Shrek, the friends he made, the Seven Devils.

He looked at Tang San with a smile and said,

”I know what's happening, in my family, there is a secret passed down just like Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Pagoda. But ours is a more terrifying secret, it is said that if a person with the White Tiger Spirit is talented enough then he would gain the approval of a god who we call the Evil Eyes Sage and gain his inheritance, even I'm not sure what that is but until now most of those who had got it according to our family records had died, so I don't think I would make it myself”

”An inheritance??”

”Yes, the inheritance of the Evil Eyes Sage, that is the reason the tradition in our family was established to make sure that only the talented heir would continue the family hoping to get the inheritance”

”In that case, just beat up that Evil Eyes Sage, why should you bother accepting it's inheritance when it would force something like this upon you??”

”Haha, you're right, I should just beat it up for all this”

After that he continued to sleep for the night, Tang San left after a while and was hoping that Dugu Bo had more information regarding this.

…

The next day, Dugu Bo came after getting Tang San's letter, he looked at Dai Mubai and said,

”You're the younger one aren't you??”

Even Tang San was surprised that he knew about it,

”If your brother knew about this he would die from envy, but your chances of dying from this are indeed almost 100%”

”Senior Dugu, what do you mean by this??”

”What he's undergoing is an inheritance, the Evil Eyes Sage's inheritance, if he's able to survive from this then he can gain a lot from it but if he fails then he will die, that's how it's been happening every time it descended, you should have seen it a three-eyed white tiger if you've tried to sense his spirit power”

”That….. Yes”

Flender and the others were shocked when they heard this, Tang San was now even more worried after hearing that.

”Old Freak, is there no way he could recover his spirit power??”

”There isn't anything we can do now, all I can say is it would depend on him now”

Saying that he left the room, he decided to stay in case anything happened but he didn't expect too much from him.

…

Tang San attended the award ceremony instead of Dai Mubai as the Vice-Captain of Shrek the emperor had personally awarded Shrek as they were the ones with the highest wins and the other academies were awarded by crown prince Xue Beng, the princess Xue Ke, prince Xue Xing and Ning Fengzhi.

He had praised Tang San saying that his performance was quite outstanding and he hoped that he would contribute to the empire.

Hearing this most of the teams turned their heads towards Shrek's monster, Tang San.

They still couldn't forget how he had single-handedly defeated an entire team.

Even Princess Xue Ye had sent him a few proactive glances, when the Emperor and prince saw this they had a kind smile on their face, Ning Fengzhi gave him a thumbs up instead.

Tang San seeing that had a wry smile in his head and gave out a kind smile towards Princess Ye. She blushed at that and hid her face with her hands. Tang San wanted to run away from here, there were a lot of guys giving him envious looks while the girls were sending jealous looks towards Xue Ye.
