Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

Immediately afterwards, all three of them turned their gazes toward Xie Xie.

Xie Xie: "..."

For some reason, he always felt a strange killing intent surrounding him.

So, he silently chose to clench his fist in encouragement.

"come on!"

All three were taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing at the same time, and clenched their fists in encouragement.

Let's cheer each other on!

Early the next morning, Wu Changkong led the four students from Class Zero out of the academy and headed straight for Donghai Square in the center of Donghai City.

This time, Wu Changkong was not the only one leading the team; Long Hengxu, the director of teaching, was also there.

Their group wasn't the only one representing the academy; there were also members from the senior division who were competing in the youth group. Among them were two people Xie Xie recognized very well.

One was Liu Yuxin, the senior who told him gossip when school started, and the other was Xu Xiaoyan's brother, Xu Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyan, if they bully you, tell your brother." Xu Xiaoyu said to her younger sister in a somewhat threatening manner as she passed by Xie Xie and his three companions.

Xu Xiaoyan sighed.

"I'm fine. You mind your own business. Don't fail to even pass the preliminaries again this time."

Xu Xiaoyu's face stiffened. "Impossible. All of us participating this time are at least at the third ring level. We're sure to achieve good results."

Xu Xiaoyan curled her lips indifferently.

Having trained in Class Zero for a month, he now has a thorough understanding of Xie Xie and the other two's strength. Leaving aside Xie Xie, if Tang Wulin went all out, it's questionable whether his adopted brother could even win.

A large crowd had already gathered at Donghai Square, along with several very luxurious soul-guided buses.

Act in unison, set out in unison.

"Hey, why are you so late?" Mu Xi ran over as soon as she saw Tang Wulin appear. Just as she was about to raise her hand, she saw Xie Xie next to him.

Upon seeing this menacing figure, Mu Xi abruptly slammed on the brakes.

The two of them don't see each other much at the academy, but that doesn't mean they don't see each other in private.

Xie Xie is currently a Level 2 mecha engineer, and lately he has been busy trying to reach Level 3. He goes to Mu Chen almost every day to select some suitable metals.

For some reason, Tang Wulin never ran into her, but he always bumped into Mu Xi every time he went there.

Mu Chen (the culprit): Hehehe, my future son-in-law has been found!

There was a reason why Mu Chen chose Xie Xie: only Xie Xie could control his daughter. Just seeing him there would diminish Mu Xi's arrogance by half.

First, we can't beat them.

Second, you can't win an argument.

Third, even with overwhelming power, one cannot prevail.

Mu Xi: (?ω?)

Chapter 114 Xie Hao Cultivates in His Dream

Mu Xi could only reluctantly withdraw her hand, "Haha, you're here too..."

Xie Xie said calmly, "So, is there something you need?"

Mu Xi shook her head frantically, "No, no, I just came over to say hello. Now that I've said hello, I'll be leaving!"

After saying that, she left without looking back, as if she had made up her mind.

Xie Xie had no idea what Mu Chen was thinking. Even if he did, he would only exclaim that it was outrageous. In his eyes, Mu Xi was a complete madwoman. No, calling her a madwoman was too kind of her.

Watching Mu Xi leave, he pulled Tang Wulin directly onto car number six, which represented Donghai Academy.

Tang Wulin followed Xie Xie obediently the whole time.

After getting on the bus, Xie Xie decisively chose to sit down next to Wu Changkong. If there hadn't been so many people around, he would have snuggled into Wu Changkong's arms.

Tang Wulin didn't say much and silently sat down in the row in front of the two.

After getting into the car, Gu Yue glanced around at the situation inside. When she saw Wu Changkong next to Xie Xie, she silently looked away and then sat down next to Tang Wulin.

Xu Xiaoyan sat with her brother, Xu Xiaoyu.

After Long Hengxu finished counting the number of people, he signaled to the driver that they could depart. The Soul Guidance Bus then slowly drove out of the square and headed towards the outskirts of Donghai City. After entering the highway, it gradually accelerated.

It's quite a distance from Donghai City to Tianhai City; the Soul Guidance Bus takes about four hours to travel there.

This highway itself is built along the coast, with the sea to the east.

That boundless blue is breathtaking.

The Soul Guidance Bus traveled smoothly on the coastal expressway, with almost no bumps as the wheels rolled over the road surface.

The sea breeze wafted gently in through the cracks in the car window, carrying a faint scent of sea salt. The warm sunlight streamed through the glass, bathing me in its glow. Combined with the quiet atmosphere inside the car, it was exceptionally relaxing.

Xie Xie initially rested his chin on his hand, gazing out the window at the boundless blue sea, watching the waves crash against the shore and the hazy outline where the sea and sky met in the distance.

But not long afterward, his eyelids began to droop uncontrollably.

The training over the past few days had already accumulated a lot of fatigue, and with this comfortable environment, drowsiness swept over me like a tidal wave.

Xie Xie gradually couldn't hold on any longer, and his head unconsciously tilted slightly to the side, resting softly on Wu Changkong's shoulder beside him.

The crisp, clean scent emanating from Wu Changkong filled his nostrils, like a mountain spring with a faint fragrance of herbs and trees, causing him to completely let down his guard.

His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he slowly closed his eyes. His breathing gradually became even and long, and he fell asleep.

Before long, Xie Xie began to dream.

There were no noisy crowds or speeding soul-guided buses in the dream.

Only the familiar training ground remains, along with that tall, aloof figure.

Xie Xie saw himself holding a long sword, repeating the basic sword-swinging movements again and again under Wu Changkong's patient guidance.

抬手

落剑

转腕

收势

Every movement was performed meticulously.

Wu Changkong stood beside him, her eyes focused, occasionally speaking to correct his posture. Her voice was clear and cool, yet exceptionally serious. Her fingertips would gently support his arm, helping him adjust the angle of his exertion.

The scene then switches to the four of them training together on a regular basis.

Wu Changkong, wielding a long sword, personally demonstrated the moves, thrusting out and swinging the sword horizontally, each move clean, crisp, and precise in its power.

Perhaps because I was in a dream, the training scenes that usually passed by in a hurry were slowed down without any limit.

Xie Xie saw everything clearly.

He could clearly see the arc of Wu Changkong's wrist as she swung her sword, the faint fluctuations of soul power that arose as the sword sliced ​​through the air, and even the trajectory of her hair as it was moved by the breeze.

Those details that he had never noticed in his daily life were magnified infinitely in this dream and clearly engraved in his mind.

He could even clearly see the flow of soul power when Wu Changkong made his move.

Xie Xie: ...!

Don't worry about it, he's a genius!

Since this is a dream, Xie Xie is the master of this place.

His consciousness seemed to sink into the most tranquil deep sea, and then suddenly leap up to the most vast sky, with all the surrounding scenes flowing according to his will.

Xie Xie slowly raised his right hand, his palm slightly open. With a thought, tiny, icy-blue soul power points surrounded his body.

As if drawn by a force, the points of light rapidly converged toward his palm, gradually solidifying and taking shape.

In the blink of an eye, a long sword, its surface gleaming with an icy aura, landed steadily in his hand.

It was Wu Changkong's unique Heavenly Frost Sword.

The Heavenly Frost Sword was surrounded by a cool, icy blue aura, and its blade felt icy to the touch yet was exceptionally comfortable to hold.

A hint of excitement flashed in Xie Xie's eyes, but he quickly suppressed his smile and, mimicking Wu Changkong's usual demeanor, closed his eyes and recalled every detail of the moves he had just seen in his dream.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze had become as cold and focused as Wu Changkong's.

Immediately afterwards, he lightly raised his wrist, and the Heavenly Frost Sword rose up. The sword thrust, cleaved, slashed, and parried, each move closely following the dance in the sky from his memory.

There was not the slightest disorder.

Every exertion of force, every wrist turn, precisely followed the key points taught by Wu Changkong, even the route of soul power circulation was exactly the same.

The icy blue sword light traced a smooth arc in the dream, the Heavenly Frost Sword exuding a chilling aura.

At this moment, Xie Xie even resembled Wu Changkong when he made his moves.

He was so engrossed in the moves that he lost himself in them. He felt that the movements he could never get right in practice were now flowing smoothly as if he had practiced them a thousand times.

Time seemed to stand still in the dream, leaving only him and the Heavenly Frost Sword in his hand.

……

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he woke up again, the soul-guided bus had just arrived at its destination.

Like Donghai City, Tianhai City is a coastal city, but it has a better geographical location and boasts the largest port on the entire continent.

The Federation's navy is stationed outside Skysea City.

Ordinary people are required to serve in the military when they turn eighteen, and within the Tianhai Alliance, the naval forces of Tianhai City are the first choice for all those serving.

Tianhai City and Donghai City are not much different; both are filled with high-rise buildings.

The delegation from Donghai City was led by officials from the administrative residence, who had already made contact with Tianhai City.

Following the main group, they were taken to a luxury hotel to check in.

Upon arriving at the hotel lobby, Gu Yue suddenly raised her hand and asked, "Teacher Wu, may I ask if I can share a room with Tang Wulin?"

boom!

Finally, with a bump on her head, Gu Yue obediently left with Xu Xiaoyan.

The three of them felt somewhat ashamed upon seeing this.

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin shared a room. As soon as they entered the room, Tang Wulin was hurriedly pulled away by Mu Xi.

Tang Wulin had no choice but to shout into the room as he walked:

"Xie Xie, I'll go out with my senior sister for a bit, I'll be right back!"

"Okay, okay~"

Xie Xie collapsed onto the bed without any regard for his image and fell asleep immediately.

On the bus, Xie Xie practiced like crazy, thinking he was dreaming. But when he woke up, he was sore all over. When he got up to get off the bus, he almost knelt down in front of Wu Changkong.

They finally arrived at the hotel, and Xie Xie was truly at his breaking point.

Chapter 115 Pre-match Unexpected Changes

The opening ceremony of the Tianhai League Grand Tournament was held at the Tianhai Stadium, a huge stadium that can accommodate 80,000 people at the same time.

The federal government is now divided into numerous political parties, and its political structure is a typical parliamentary system.

The three major parties—hawks, doves, and neutrals—check and balance each other, and the Tianhai Grand Competition is a major event for each of the three parties to absorb fresh blood, so it naturally attracts the attention of the entire Federation.

Early in the morning, the teams representing various cities had already entered the stadium to wait.

The huge stadium was packed with people.
