Chapter 373: Chapter 372: It’s Better Not to Have Too Many People for Surprises
Polar Star Battlefield?
For Xu Lingjun, this name was quite familiar... You see, for Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, the True Transformation Realm corresponds to the Miwu Ghost Forest, and the Huichuan Realm corresponds to the Ice Snow Realm.
And the Profound Realm corresponds to the Polar Star Battlefield.
Just like Gu Xi, who had been unable to let go because of Jun Qing, so she kept dragging her feet... Otherwise, with her strength, she should have gone to the Polar Star Battlefield two years ago.
The path of Martial Tao must be accompanied by endless struggles and battles.
The reason why Gu Xi’s strength hasn’t progressed over the years, and has even regressed, is that she delayed for too long. Even though she has now lost the shackles of Jun Qing, the years of delay will prevent her from ever ascending to the peak.
Perhaps the Peak of Profound Mastery is her limit.
She obviously knows this too...
She’s just unwilling to accept it, hoping for one last gamble.
And she is not alone in this; experts in the Profound Realm are actually quite rare at Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.
Where are they?
Didn’t they all go to the Polar Star Battlefield?
The meat of the Mysterious races of the heavens in the cafeteria, along with the many precious resources in the resource area, weren’t they all brought back by those Profound Realm students from the Polar Star Battlefield?
For him...
Even without the current events, he eventually would not avoid making a trip to the Polar Star Battlefield.
Now, for no reason, he’s received many benefits...
Su Xun knew all too well how advantageous it was to have someone backing you up.
Undoubtedly, his Father Wang’s business will expand even more smoothly, perhaps easily stepping out of Fangyi City and even spreading throughout the entire Great Xia Empire.
This is immensely beneficial for his Talent Source.
And there’s Sister Yaya.
Why give her an Ice Snow Leopard?
Isn’t it because once he embarked on the path of Martial Tao, he was bound to attract enemies, even with someone as crazy as Zhou Qianmo maintaining the basic decency of not using Wang Qingya as a leverage point?
If he initially chose Wu Hongzhou instead of Wang Qingya...
Xu Lingjun might really have gone mad.
Unfortunately...
The growth of Xiaofu was really too slow compared to Daxiong.
Perhaps it is because he never experienced slaughter, it always felt like Wang Qingya was raising Xiaofu into a large cat.
If there were officially appointed personnel for protection, coupled with the Ice Snow Leopard, undoubtedly, Wang Qingya’s safety would no longer be a worry.
For such a good thing, even with just his toes, Xu Lingjun knew he should agree.
"Great, great!"
Han Xu Yang laughed excitedly: "Good lad, so young yet with such a strong patriotic spirit, truly remarkable, just for those words... Here, take this badge. Within a year, with this badge, you can purchase anything at half price, with the rest price being covered by the National Treasury. It’s also a sign of the Great Xia Empire’s expectation of you."
Finally, as the Emperor, Han Xu Yang still had reason.
There can be extra rewards out of fondness, but there must be a limit... This half price seems exaggerated, but how much can he buy in a year?
Things measurable by money, seemingly priceless, are instead the most valuable.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xu Lingjun’s eyes lit up, thinking half-price?
He suddenly thought of Wang Tiancheng.
If he hands this to him, the effect should be pretty good. Xu Lingjun had an inkling that Father Wang would make this badge flourish.
For a moment, both the monarch and minister were delighted.
And Xu Lingjun, wearing the Deputy Commander’s badge, looked extraordinarily handsome and dashing, making those female disciples from the sects present unable to help but sway their hearts and eyes bewitching.
After Xu Lingjun...
The subsequent nine disciples also received their rewards.
However, in terms of level and quality, it was clearly far inferior to what Xu Lingjun received.
Han Qingxue bitterly smiled...
This time, the biggest winner of the Five Sects Martial Arts Competition turned out to be Xu Lingjun, who Zhou Qianmo, the one who initiated this whole event, wished to kill at all costs.
Who would have imagined that a student from Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion would reap the fruits of the Five Sects Martial Arts Competition? It’s truly laughable.
She suddenly realized that for Xu Lingjun, Zhou Qianmo might really be a good person.
He had indeed sacrificed a lot for him.
And he had gained so much.
After the award ceremony.
There was a grand banquet, inviting the leaders and disciples of the Five Great Sects, and Xu Lingjun, as the junior uncle with a higher seniority than the Sect Leader, naturally sat at the head of the table.
As a result, he received more attention...
Especially Li Lei, who originally planned to make great achievements in the Five Sects Martial Arts Competition, but ended up being eliminated in the first round by Xu Lingjun... The bitterness inside was hard to describe to outsiders.
What can you do with your own people?
He’s reluctant to turn against him, so he can only intoxicate him, making him drunk to vent his anger.
Unfortunately, even his alcohol tolerance is no match for Xu Lingjun’s, and not long after, he collapsed on the ground.
But at this time, within the great hall, it was a sea of celebration, and naturally, no one minded Li Lei’s breach of etiquette.
In fact, although the martial artists of each sect were competitors, after all the battles, there was a sense of mutual respect... The disciples toasted each other, which was indeed harmonious.
After the banquet ended.
Xu Lingjun, slightly tipsy, declined Sun Bumie’s invitation to rest at the sect’s station.
He headed towards the Zhanzheng Academy.
During this time, Wang Tiancheng also talked to Xu Lingjun a few times and learned that Xu Lingjun had been staying in the Imperial Capital, so he warmly expressed his desire to buy a villa in the Imperial Capital for his son to stay in...
Then, he argued with Wang Qingya.
Complaints like, why didn’t you think of buying me a house after I’ve lived there for so many years, etc...
In the end, it was Xu Lingjun who made the decision, saying he’s already accustomed to living in the Zhanzheng Academy, and in terms of safety and privacy, the Zhanzheng Academy is impeccable.
Although the house is not big, it has the warmth of home.
These words were sincere.
So Wang Tiancheng didn’t say anything more... During this time, Father Wang had been working tirelessly in the Baoxue Empire to pave the way for their family of three.
Mining gold and oil elatedly.
It’s said he’ll still need some time before he returns.
Xu Lingjun planned to hand the badge to Wang Qingya, to give it to him... This thing is of little use to him, just serves as a novelty, but if given to him, it might have great effects.
With these thoughts, he entered the Zhanzheng Academy, slightly tipsy, and opened the door.
The living room was pitch black.
Xu Lingjun suddenly felt a surge of excitement, wondering if Sister Yaya and Teacher Su were asleep?
Sleeping so early, could it be...
Hehe...
As he was about to undo his belt, the alcohol-dulled ear suddenly heard Xiaoya’s prompt.
"Master, detecting twenty-nine people hidden in the living room."
"What?"
Xu Lingjun was stunned, and the belt he was halfway through untying was paused.
Then the lights suddenly flared...
A flurry of streamers burst forth with a colorful display as they unfurled, echoing with excitement.
"Hahahaha, congratulations, Xu Tongxue, we’ve succeeded!"
Zhang Zhiheng, dropping his usual wise elder appearance, was as excited as he was childlike, giving Xu Lingjun a big laugh with a hearty laugh: "Do you remember the promise I made to you before? Hahahaha... I can fulfill it now, we did it, Xu Tongxue!"
Gazing around at those research staff who previously appeared so serious, Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but feel a thrill.
He was drunk and hadn’t noticed this time, and if it weren’t for little Xiaoya’s prompt, he really would have been terribly embarrassed.
At this point, he thought he should have a word with Sister Yaya; in the future, surprises are fine, but it’s best to limit it to just the three of them—him, her, and Teacher Su.
With these thoughts, he smiled and came forward to talk with Zhang Zhiheng.
