Chapter 174: Are you really just being crazy?!
Elder Ma pulled Xiao Hongchen, who was still in a daze, off the field.
People from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy gathered around.
Meng Hongchen did not quarrel with her brother at this time but looked worried.
She did not expect Ling Shuang to be able to do this.
Meng Hongchen was a little worried whether her brother could get out of the shadow brought by Ling Shuang.
However, after seeing Xiao Hongchen's emotions gradually calm down, her worries slowly subsided.
Xiao Hongchen did not have a demon in his heart like from Huo Yuhao in the original book.
Perhaps the gap between the two was too big, and Xiao Hongchen no longer had the idea of competing with Ling Shuang.
The gap that can be seen will make people obsessed, but the gap that can no longer be seen will only make people sigh.
Xiao Hongchen smiled bitterly, supported his hands on his thighs, and remained silent for a long time.
The arrogance from before was gone, and the originally arrogant look of the young man had become much more stable.
This may be a good thing for Xiao Hongchen.
He was too arrogant and overconfident before, and too strong a will easily breaks.
"Please invite the next contestant from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Academy to play."
After the earth attribute Spirit Master repaired the stage destroyed by Ling Shuang, the voice of the Heavenly Fiend Douluo sounded again.
Because it was the finals, Star Luo had specially invited an earth attribute Spirit Douluo. After Ling Shuang withdrew the remaining destructive power, the repair was extremely smooth and did not take much time.
Elder Ma looked at Meng Hongchen, the last contestant, and after hesitating for a moment, still said, "Miss Meng, why don't we just admit defeat directly."
The psychological shadow Ling Shuang had just brought to him was really too great.
Although Ling Shuang seemed to have consumed a lot after performing that move, and the time just now was not enough for him to fully recover, Elder Ma still did not think that Meng Hongchen would be Ling Shuang's opponent.
He now had no more hopes for the championship he just hoped nothing would go wrong and that they could return safely to the empire. After all,
it was not the first time the Sun Moon Royal Soul Academy had placed second.
"No." Meng Hongchen shook her head and rejected his proposal.
Just as Xiao Hongchen said, Meng Hongchen was actually a proud and arrogant person.
She could accept that she was not as good as Ling Shuang, but she could not accept fleeing without a fight.
The pride of the lineage of the head of the Illustrious Virtue Hall did not allow her to do such a thing.
"If I flee without a fight, wouldn't it mean that I am not even as good as Xiao?"
"You said so, Chen Hongxiao?"
Seeing that Xiao Hongchen was fine, Meng Hongchen returned to her old poisonous tongue.
She still remembered what Xiao Hongchen said at the beginning that if he couldn't defeat Ling Shuang, his name would be written backwards.
Xiao Hongchen instinctively wanted to refute Meng Hongchen's sarcasm, but he didn't know what to say when the words came to his lips.
Because that was the truth, and it was something he had said himself.
After a moment, Xiao Hongchen still didn't say anything, but let out a complicated sigh and words.
"Be careful."
Meng Hongchen did not look back, and her white ponytail swayed slightly with her steps.
"Don't worry, I'm not as stupid as you, going all out for nothing."
Meng Hongchen's words made Xiao Hongchen's face stiffen, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He muttered under his breath:
"What a bad personality!"
He was just worried this girl would get hurt by Ling Shuang.
He really didn't expect anything good from this sharp-tongued sister of his.
...
"Both sides ready. The match begins!"
Heavenly Fiend Douluo's voice fell, and two figures stood opposite each other.
For the first time, Meng Hongchen stood opposite Ling Shuang in a real sense. She couldn't hide her excitement.
Her blood-red eyes stared at the boy in front of her.
Before this, Meng Hongchen had only seen Ling Shuang up close when she had taken the initiative to greet him before the tournament began.
But compared to that time, she could now truly observe the person in front of her seriously.
Perhaps because his body had not fully recovered from the previous technique, Ling Shuang's face looked a bit sickly pale at the moment.
This did not make him look weak on the contrary, the fragility added an air of brokenness, which made Meng Hongchen's heart race a little faster.
Ling Shuang held his staff and was a little confused by Meng Hongchen's fixed gaze.
Is she trying to find a flaw?
Ling Shuang's heart tensed.
At this moment, due to the previous use of the power of destruction, the soul power in his body was nearly exhausted. Even though he had recovered a bit during the time spent repairing the arena, he still hadn't regained more than half.
Although Ling Shuang was confident that his strength was far above Meng Hongchen's, in his current state, he didn't dare be careless.
Meng Hongchen was still a Soul King, and she had soul tools. If he underestimated her, he might really suffer an upset.
So, facing Meng Hongchen's strange behavior, Ling Shuang didn't dare act rashly either. He focused on her while silently recovering his soul power.
The two stared at each other, neither making a move.
This strange scene left the audience bewildered and exchanging glances.
What are they doing?
It was the first time such a thing had happened in the Soul Master Tournament.
For a moment, Star Luo Plaza fell into an odd silence.
Elder Ma couldn't help but whisper to Xiao Hongchen beside him, "Miss Meng... is she preparing some kind of special technique?"
Although he was the team leader this time, due to the special status of Hongchen and his sister, he didn't know much about their capabilities.
As the granddaughter of the master of the Illustrious Virtue Hall, it was reasonable for her to have some secret means.
In response to Elder Ma's question, Xiao Hongchen only laughed bitterly.
If others didn't know, how could he, as a brother, not know?
Meng Hongchen wasn't preparing any technique she was clearly being a love-crazed maniac!
He was utterly speechless. Although he knew his sister had a love-struck side, he never imagined she would show it on the competition stage.
About five minutes later, Heavenly Fiend Douluo finally couldn't hold back and reminded them, "Both participants, the match has already begun."
Only then did Meng Hongchen snap back to her senses, and a blush crept onto her fair cheeks.
Being love-crazed in front of so many people even she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Meng Hongchen, now back to herself, looked at Ling Shuang with a slightly evasive gaze.
So embarrassing!
Ling Shuang, seeing Meng Hongchen's reaction, also realized that she hadn't been analyzing him for flaws she had just been fangirling.
Thinking of this, even Ling Shuang frowned.
Just like Xiao Hongchen, he knew Meng Hongchen had a fangirl personality but he didn't expect it to be this outrageous.
