Chapter 103: Preview of the Next Competition.
The host, Doudou, said, "This competition has concluded successfully. The second competition will be held at the same time next year. We look forward to your active participation! Thank you all for coming. The top 20 contestants, please wait a moment. The Spirit Hall has gifts for you!"
Although the competition was over, no one present wanted to leave, their doubts lingering.
The champion had been announced, but could she truly evolve her spirit? Did the Spirit Hall truly possess this ability? If not, then they had been tricked.
Ning Fengzhi and the others had been waiting for a long time. He stepped forward first and said, "I have something to say. I'm sure everyone here has the same doubt as me.
When will the Spirit Hall evolve Zhu Zhuqing's spirit? If there's time, we want to see with our own eyes what she'll look like after the spirit evolves!
That will also put our minds at ease."
Xia Li stepped forward and said in a steady tone, "Zhu Zhuqing is injured now, and it's inconvenient for her spirit to evolve. However, it's only a flesh wound and she will recover in two or three days. If you're willing to wait, I'll let you see how Zhu Zhuqing's spirit evolves within a week.
Do you have any other questions?"
Ning Fengzhi glanced at the audience and nodded slightly. He became the representative of them and said, "Okay, then we'll meet in the Fighting Spirit Arena in seven days. Please let us see Zhu Zhuqing after her spirit evolves."
There were many people present, and they were reassured. Although these girls didn't win the championship, at least they knew they were not striving for an illusory goal.
Ning Rongrong has been feeling aggrieved. She said, "Xia Li, I have something to say. This competition is so unfair to us auxiliary soul masters. We are not good at fighting, but we have to fight throughout the competition.
The invitation to the competition issued by the Spirit Hall clearly states that any spirit can evolve, but when it comes to the competition, the competition system favors combat soul masters and ignores us auxiliary soul masters!
So, can we auxiliary soul masters compete alone?"
Xia Li smiled slightly and said, "Next year's competition will increase the number of places to two, with two soul bones awarded, and one place will be set aside for auxiliary soul masters.
Next year, there will be one place for combat soul masters and one place for auxiliary soul masters, and each will be equipped with a soul bone. How about it?"
Xia Li had thought about it a long time ago. There are eleven people in the Divine Group, so there should be at least one auxiliary soul master. It might even be a little too little. With Xia Li included, there are twelve people in total, and it would not be too many to bring two auxiliary soul masters.
Ning Rongrong was ecstatic at these words, her previous annoyance vanishing. Everyone knew the continent's strongest support-type spirit master was their Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. If there were a support spot, who else could possibly win besides her?
It was a sure thing!
The other combat spirit masters were somewhat displeased, and they all proposed increasing the number of spots.
"Master Xia Li, please give the combat spirit master a spot too!"
"Yes, there will definitely be more contestants next year!"
"One more!"
"Yes, one more!"
Xia Li coldly refused, "No, there will only be two next year! Also, the format will be largely the same as this year, but there will be some minor changes, like the age limit.
Next year, age will be given a higher weight, with at least twice the age being deducted from the overall points!"
With that, Xia Li left, and the others present also left the fighting arena, but most of them were not in a hurry to leave, eager to see Zhu Zhuqing's evolution.
The tournament was over.
Xia Li stretched and returned to the Pope's Palace. His next task was to train Zhu Zhuqing to be a master, a spirit master not only of incredible talent but also of exceptional strength.
Training one this year, two next year—the thought of this made Xia Li feel exhausted. He hoped that the spirit masters selected for the upcoming competitions would be those with easygoing personalities.
Otherwise, life would be difficult.
Zhu Zhuqing had simply collapsed from exhaustion. After being carried away by the medical team, she quickly regained consciousness, still suffering from injuries and her spirit power depleted.
Creak.
A beautiful woman with short, golden hair pushed open the ward door and walked in. A faint smile crossed her lips, she pulled a chair over, and sat down.
"You are... meeting the Saint Lady."
Zhu Zhuqing was now considered a member of the Spirit Hall. She was polite and observed all the proper etiquette, but her body was too exhausted to move.
Hu Liena said softly, "Alright, don't move. I'm here to check on your injuries. You're the champion, and the spirit bones and spirit evolution rewards are yours!"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled, feeling incredibly happy. All the pain and effort had been worth it. It was wonderful.
Hu Liena continued, "You can take the spirit bones unconditionally, but as for spirit evolution, we have an additional condition!" Zhu
Zhuqing, who had just been feeling refreshed, felt a pang of anxiety. This competition truly had hidden rules! Humph!
"What additional conditions? I've already joined the Spirit Hall, what more could there be?"
Hu Liena smiled and said, "It's easy to say, but hard to do. From now on, you will be loyal to only one man! Xia Li!
Everything you have belongs to him, including your body! You will fight for him and give him everything!
Do you understand me?"
Before she finished speaking, Hu Liena gave her a look that said,
"You have the right to choose. We won't force you. If you refuse, as the champion, you can take your Spirit Bone.
But your Spirit Evolution spot won't be forfeited; it will go to the second-place winner!"
Zhu Zhuqing frowned, suddenly uneasy and nervous. "Is the second-place winner Zhu Zhuyun? She already has a fiancé, so there's no way she'll agree to your request. Besides, she's from Xingluo and won't fight for the Spirit Hall!"
Hu Liena chuckled softly. "We'll have to ask her whether she agrees, so you don't need to worry about it. You have seven days to think it over. Think it over.
When you're ready, tell me. I'll be waiting for you."
A click.
Hu Liena closed the door when she left. Zhu Zhuqing was a little scared. In her heart, Xia Li had always been a good person, and a good person.
She was able to win the championship this time thanks to his spirit bone, otherwise she would probably have been eliminated in the fierce battle.
But, why did Hu Liena sound so mean, woo woo woo.
Do I want to be his? Or I just want the spirit bone and forget it.
But the second one is Zhu Zhuyun. Although it is unlikely that she will agree, what if she agrees?
If the second one is someone else, Zhu Zhuqing may be able to give up calmly, but she doesn't want her sister's spirit to evolve.
