Not a god

Chapter 196 The Chosen One Tournament

He Congxue got up early and sat in her room combing her hair in front of the mirror. She tilted her head and tied her hair into pigtails. After getting up, she looked at herself in the mirror from left to right, turned around, and her flowing skirt revealed a small section of her fair and tender thighs and pure white knee-high socks.

"How could my brother like Jiang Wanwan? She must be taking advantage of my brother's affection to force him to stay by her side."

"She even forced my brother to get a marriage certificate with her; that despicable woman is truly..."

"But don't worry, brother, I'm here to save you!"

She had figured it out: how could a perfect man like her brother possibly marry Jiang Wanwan? It must have been her cousin who coerced and enticed her, pestering her relentlessly, and her brother who doted on her so much that she finally gave in.

Even as a high school student, she knew that it wasn't love at all.

She had to rescue her brother from her cousin's clutches!

However, this is no easy task. Her despicable cousin is now like Dong Zhuo, holding the emperor hostage to command the princes. Her power is overwhelming, and her enemies are stronger than ever before. As a mere high school girl, she can only deal with them slowly and deliberately.

The girl cheered herself up in the mirror, preparing to go find Chen Xi before her cousin got up. But just as she stepped out, she saw Chen Xi coming out of the next room.

"Brother Chen Xi!"

Chen Xi laughed: "Little Snow is here so early, unlike your cousin."

He Congxue was secretly delighted and leaned closer to ask, "Brother Chen Xi, where are you planning to go today?"

"I have some other things to take care of, and don't you have school?"

"If you go through the special admission program, you don't have to go to school every day."

"Xiaoxue, go and wake your cousin up first. Don't let them sleep too long."

"They're in that room over there!"

He Congxue had been a fan of Chen Xi since she was a child. She acted like she was being invited by the Japanese, and wanted to take her brother to Jiang Wanwan's room. Chen Xi stopped her, then pointed to the bulging blanket on his bed. Under his cousin's confused gaze, he gave her an affirmative look, and then went downstairs alone.

"Eh?"

The girl stood at the door, a terrible thought rising in her mind. She walked stiffly to the bedside and suddenly lifted the door.

Under the blanket were two beautiful girls embracing each other, their identical delicate faces pressed together. The sudden light made them let out a series of soft moans, and they twisted slightly on the bed to express their dissatisfaction.

Jiang Xiaowan didn't even open her eyes: "The blanket, the blanket..."

Jiang Wanwan also complained, "What's wrong..."

"Brother, please give us back our blankets..."

"I said I wanted to sleep a little longer..."

Seeing this scene, countless images flashed through He Congxue's mind: Why was Jiang Wanwan in her brother's room? Why was her cousin on her brother's bed?

The two of them, the two of them...

After the blanket was pulled off, there was no reaction for a while. Jiang Wanwan opened her eyes with difficulty, glanced at the person by the bed, and said with a look of annoyance: "Are you still a primary school student? Pulling off my blanket so early in the morning."

As she spoke, Jiang Xiaowan pulled the blanket back up to cover herself. He Congxue, regaining her senses, looked anxious and began questioning the bulge on the bed:
Why are you here?

"This is clearly my brother's room!"

"What...what have you done?"

"You two didn't kiss, did you?!"

"Please speak!"

……

Around 8 a.m., after breakfast, Chen Xi talked to her grandfather about the clones.

Each person destined for greatness possesses their own forbidden techniques, much like supernatural powers. These forbidden techniques are innate supernatural powers, unique to each individual, mastered upon awakening their destiny, and inaccessible to others. The forbidden technique for summoning deities is called the Spirit Nourishing Technique, somewhat similar to the shamanistic practices of Northeast China. However, while shamanism involves inviting spirits to possess one's body, the He family's spirit summoning, once brought back, results in a clone that has little connection to the original and is significantly weaker.

It's like hiring someone to make a mold, obtaining an empty shell, and then the He family uses their own spiritual power to fill this empty shell to power the replica. There is basically no loss for the person who was hired to make the mold, but there is certainly no benefit either. So in the past, the He family has always done things like business, hiring experts and negotiating various conditions.

Grandpa is a Tier 3 cultivator, and he has two Tier 3 clones. The cost of these two clones is an absolute astronomical figure. In addition, he has signed many agreements with other people.

However, there is one important point: everyone can be a mold maker, but only one mold maker can be chosen by the gods. In other words, it is impossible for a group of He family members to create a difficult situation like the Chen Xi Legion.

Grandpa pondered for a moment and said, "Let Xiaoxue do it."

Chen Xi was taken aback: "Xiao Xue is only at the second tier, right? Can she even summon a third-tier one?"

"Yes, it should be said that the ability to invite a higher-level chosen one is the real power of divine intervention. However, Xiao Xue, who is only at the second level, can only provide the clone with second-level spiritual power."

Grandpa paused for a moment, then said, "However, Xiaoxue's talent will allow her to break through to the third rank sooner or later."

"Grandpa thinks highly of Xiaoxue."

“She is different from us; this child only awakened her destiny in February of this year.”

"So that's the case."

Although the He family was a chosen one in the old era, He Congxue only awakened this year, so she can be considered a chosen one in the new era.

Without any prior experience, he simply relied on his talent to catch up with Su Jiu'er, Situ, and the other most talented individuals.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this child will inevitably advance to the third level in the future, and will go even further than his grandfather.

Early in the morning, He Congxue was in a daze when her grandfather called her down from the second floor. When she heard that she needed to make a copy of her brother, she suddenly perked up.

The process of invoking the deity is quite complicated, with a set of conventional rituals. In the end, it requires the person's authorization and that they bite their finger and use their blood to write their name on the palm of the person invoking the deity.

The name she wrote burned in her hand and disappeared into her palm.

"Alright, once I've finished making the paper doll, I can summon my brother's clone!"

Jiang Wanwan looked wary: "Don't do anything strange to my brother!"

He Congxue sneered. As far as she knew, her brother was an ordinary person with a talent that was more of a support type, which was to enhance hearing. His main function was to detect the enemy's movements.

While it is a valuable feature, it would be somewhat useless for her if she didn't have the ability to fight directly.

So, isn't the point of her brother making her create such a copy obvious?

This was clearly a signal from her brother calling for help, asking her to rescue him from this awful woman!
Once she creates a clone of her brother, hehe...

"Wanwan, you two stay here with Grandpa and Grandma. I have some other things to take care of these next couple of days."

He Congxue asked curiously, "What is brother going to do?"

"Back in Jiangcheng, I submitted a document about the 'Chosen One Competition,' and it seems it was approved..."

The organizer of this Chosen One competition is the Mu Shou Si, while the local youth federations are the co-organizers. In addition, various local Chosen One families are also co-organizers.

Since the revival of spiritual energy, martial arts have become increasingly popular. Holding such a competition not only gives these spirited young men a chance to compete, but also facilitates talent exchange, allows the general public to see more of the true nature of those destined for greatness, narrows the gap between those destined for greatness and ordinary people, and brings those talented individuals from the common people into the official spotlight.

Because the Chosen Ones always fight the Evil Corpses in teams, the competition will be held in teams of five.

The initial plan is to hold qualifying rounds in more than 20 cities, including Wuhan and Shanghai, to select the top five teams from each city, and then hold the finals in Wuhan.

The power dynamics in Shanghai are complex and intertwined. There are 17 families of the Heavenly Mandate alone, and even the Mu Shou Si (a powerful military organization) might not be able to help the Youth Federation maintain order. This is one of the reasons why Chen Xi came to Shanghai.

"The Chosen Ones Tournament?"

He Congxue's eyes lit up, sounding very interested: "When is the registration period? I want to participate too!"
