The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 89 Conversation

As evening approached, after dinner, Huo Zhanji, supporting himself in his wheelchair, went downstairs. Wang Dong'er and the others were urged by Huo Zhanji to go and cultivate. Although there were no matches for them today, it was still not an easy day for them.

Huo Zhanji arrived at the first floor via the soul-guided elevator. By then, it was completely dark, and the lobby of the Mingyue Hotel was very quiet. The lighting in the lobby bar was dim, and each seat was very secluded. Huo Zhanji sat down in a corner, ordered a drink, and started drinking.

As he drank, Huo Zhanji's gaze drifted to a corner of the lobby bar. In that corner, a figure slowly stood up and walked towards him.

"Senior sister."

It was Zhang Lexuan who had arrived. At this moment, she was dressed in a dark blue outfit, which was not very clear in the dim light. Zhang Lexuan nodded to Huo Zhanji and then sat down opposite him.

Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly and said, "Zhan Ji, what are your thoughts after watching today's match?"

Huo Zhanji said in a deep voice, "The Holy Spirit Cult also has participants, and Sister Tang Ya seems to have lost her mind."

Zhang Lexuan said, "I've notified Shrek Academy, and I believe Elder Xuan and the others will be here soon. You can go all out, including your spirit rings. By the way, did you tell Bei Bei?"

"No, because now is not the best time to tell him. What I need to do is bring Tang Ya back safely. If Bei Bei and the others find out now, it will only distract them," Huo Zhanji said, taking a sip of his wine.

Zhang Lexuan changed the subject, saying, "Zhanji, I called you here because there are a few things I need to tell you. We've received news that the Body Sect is also participating in this year's competition."

"I know. Poison Immortal knew I would participate in this competition. They were just arranging the assessment for me," Huo Zhanji said.

"Alright, Zhanji, you should get some rest too." Zhang Lexuan said this, stood up, nodded to Huo Zhanji, and then turned and left.

Just as Huo Zhanji was returning, someone suddenly rushed out from the side, accompanied by a girl's joyful cry: "I've finally found you!"

A fragrant breeze wafted over, and Meng Hongchen, dressed in a light blue dress, gracefully blocked Huo Zhanji's path, looking at him with excitement.

Meng Hongchen's eyes widened immediately afterward: "Zhanji? How did you become like this?"

Huo Zhanji said with a wry smile, "There's been a small problem."

Meng Hongchen said, "How can you still compete in this condition? You were perfectly fine when you returned from our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy a few months ago, how come..."

"It's temporary, but you won't abandon me just because I'm disabled, will you?" Huo Zhanji teased.

Meng Hongchen's large eyes instantly turned into crescent moons as she whispered, "How could that be? You're my woman. Are you trying to mislead us?"

"You can take a look." Huo Zhanji bent down and pulled up his trouser leg, the ice freezing his lower body.

Meng Hongchen's heart trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes. "You... Zhanji... no... you're lying to me, aren't you... can this... still be alright?"

Huo Zhanji gently wiped away the tears from Meng Hongchen's eyes, "Don't worry, I am Huo Zhanji, I'm not that easy to die. It's just a minor injury, I'll be fine soon."

"Huo Zhanji, you'd better get better soon." Meng Hongchen said, then left as if fleeing.

"This girl, she actually cried over such a small injury." Huo Zhanji shook his head and returned to his room.

The All-Continent Youth Soul Master Elite Tournament entered its second day. After five matches, six people were seriously injured and two died, demonstrating the intensity of the competition among the teams.

"Next match, Shrek Academy will face off against Earth Dragon Gate. Both sides enter the waiting area, and the first participating player will take the stage."

The battle was finally about to begin. The Shrek team members perked up and stood up at the same time. Ma Xiaotao walked behind Huo Zhanji's golden tree wheelchair and pushed it towards the waiting area.

"Hmm?" On the platform, Xu Tianran, the Regent of the Sun Moon Empire, who had been watching the battle with great interest, suddenly narrowed his eyes. "Why is there someone in a wheelchair?"

Ju Zi followed Xu Tianran's gaze downwards. Because of the distance, she could only make out a vague outline. She felt a slight tightness in her heart, as if something was about to happen.

After the Shrek team entered the waiting area, Xu Sanshi asked, "Zhanji, are you really going to fight?"

Huo Zhanji said quickly, "They won't be able to see your strength if I fight. At most, they'll figure me out."

Xu Sanshi nodded and said nothing more.

Ma Xiaotao pushed Huang Jinshu's wheelchair and sent Huo Zhanji into the competition venue. The spectators were in an uproar.

The referee on the field was dumbfounded as he watched the Tang Clan push in a wheelchair. He quickly walked over and asked in confusion, "Shrek players, are you sending this disabled person onto the field?"

Ma Xiaotao didn't say anything and turned to leave. Huo Zhanji, sitting in his wheelchair, smiled calmly and said, "That's right, the first person to appear from Shrek Academy is me, a disabled person. Thank you for your help."

The referee frowned but didn't say anything more, only nodding. On the other side, the first contestant from the Earth Dragon Gate had also entered the arena; he was a young man of average build.

Looking at Huo Zhanji, he was equally stunned, muttering, "Even disabled people are making an appearance; Shrek Academy is nothing special after all."

The referee said in a deep voice, "You are all familiar with the rules of the game, so I won't go into detail. Both sides step back and wait for my signal to begin the match."

"Yes." Huo Zhanji nodded to the referee with a smile and walked towards the edge of the playing platform.

The young man from the Earth Dragon Gate said, "You didn't even announce your name?"

"I'm just a disabled person," Huo Zhanji said with a slight smile.

.........

On the platform, Xu Tianran waved his hand, and a middle-aged man immediately came to his side, bowing and saying, "Your Highness."

Xu Tianran said, "Go and find out why this person is in a wheelchair to participate in the battle. If he wins the first match, have someone tell the referee to spare his life no matter what happens in the subsequent matches."

"Yes," the middle-aged man replied and quickly left.

Sitting next to Xu Tianran, Ju Zi was somewhat dazed. Her eyes were filled with a faint glimmer of tears. It was him, it was him, how could it be him?

"Huo Zhanji, are you an idiot? You're already disabled, why are you still participating in the Soul Master Competition, you bastard..."

If Xu Tianran hadn't been sitting next to Ju Zi, she probably would have rushed out to find Huo Zhanji and ask him what was going on. How could he be in a wheelchair? He was perfectly fine the last time she saw him. What happened to him?
