The Spirit World

Chapter 555 Shaozhi
"In fact, we all know your family..." Colin touched his face, as if thinking more deeply. There were two benches in the lounge, and Chang Yufeng sat at one end. He sat next to Chang Yufeng: "It can only be said that a tiger father will have a dog son. Back then, your father managed to save your family from the hands of the first devil... Now you are so powerful, it can be said that at least you have inherited his spirit."

"The First Great Devil...what is that?" Chang Yufeng looked at Colin in confusion, but only saw Colin's profile.

Colin turned to him with a serious expression, looked into his eyes and said: "Remember the wildfire six years ago? Your family is the only four people who survived.

"I know."

"That fire was caused by the Great Demon King on the first day. Thirteen thousand people died, including the rescue team." Colin turned away and sighed.

This is the number on the inscription. Although he always saw Erica crying while looking at the inscription, he didn't feel that much.

"The only backer you can appoint is the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Lord Longxu. They will help you get justice, but that doesn't mean you can complete the current competition."

"why?"

"You are, a family member of a hero... Your father, as well as the survivors who participated in the rescue, are all heroes of Wenti County. So Lord Longxu will not let anything happen to you."

"That's not what I meant."

"what is that……"

"Forget it...it's nothing..."

My hands were shaking so badly that I couldn't control them anymore.

"It's still not too late to call a doctor now." Colin looked at Chang Yufeng's hand and stopped talking: "Ah... in the final analysis, it's my problem."

"Yours? What's the problem?"

"I shouldn't have told you this, otherwise you could have died quietly. You wouldn't have had any resentment in your heart. But dying clearly is also a kind of happiness, right? Right?"

Colin took his novice sword and moved his seat. It turned out that someone had arrived. It was another contestant.

In Chang Yufeng's eyes, Colin was like a very mysterious peer who wanted to reveal something to him and had a little pity for him.

Maybe it's mercy?
He was framed by Locke, but it was all because of Hall.

This puzzled him, even after Colin had explained it.

"Hey, Maloof, did you beat Hall?" Colin spoke loudly to another boy. Chang Yufeng glanced at Colin, and Colin instantly responded to his gaze, also glanced at him, and then turned to Maloof.

Maloof sighed.

Obviously not.

"You know, he was too strong. I couldn't beat him at all. So, in the middle of the game, I deliberately exposed a big flaw and lost."

Malov glanced at Chang Yufeng and continued to look at Colin. Although he was unwilling, he was also open-minded.

"I'll take a break here and leave with my parents soon." Maloof lay on the bench and threw the novice sword down: "Ah... Colin, if you draw Hall, remember to be careful, he can already use the fantasy beast. Everyone in the audience was stunned, including me."

"Yeah, I think so. He is so strong." Colin glanced at Chang Yufeng again, as if to tell him that Hall's current strength is extraordinary among his peers.

"How are you planning to go back? How about I wait for you and we go back together? My parents won't say anything." Malov looked at the ceiling of the lounge and frowned.

"You'd better not let your parents worry. I'll ask my housekeeper to take me back." Colin replied, watching the other boy walk in properly and slowly sit down on the chair.

Colin kept looking at him, while Chang Yufeng stared at his arm.

It was Hall who came.

Hall glanced at the three people in the lounge, sat down opposite Chang Yufeng, and wiped the novice sword slowly and seriously.

Colin said nothing and held his sword.

Chang Yufeng looked up at Hall who was wearing armor, then lowered his head and pressed his arm again.

Chang Yufeng was wondering, when will this arm stop?
It's just a paralyzed state, and it may take a long time... Next we will draw lots for the semi-finals. Colin should advance, along with myself, Hall, and one person who has not arrived yet.

"Is everything okay?"

Hall's voice was light, not neutral enough, and more lively and less dull than Colin's hearty voice.

Chang Yufeng looked at his right hand. Even though it was shaking, he still shook his head: "It's okay."

Hall didn't say anything, but Colin spoke.

Colin held the scabbard of his novice sword and spoke directly to Hall: "It's just that Locke tricked me. It's not a big deal, right?"

"He has been arrested by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Don't worry." Hall didn't look at him, but closed his eyes, as if he was taking a rest.

"I'm definitely not worried, but thank you for your hard work, Master Hall. You still need to play a game with us." Colin was not polite at all, making Chang Yufeng look at him with a frown.

Although I don’t know what grudge they have, at least Colin is nice to me.

At least it told me that Locke's affairs might be related to Hall. One of the reasons is that only one person can win the Dragon Conference.

"You are equally strong, so don't be discouraged." Hall took a rest, sitting upright in a chair, and spoke quickly, not like he had just experienced a battle with Maloof.

"Although I can't give up, I still hope you can give in to me, right? I don't want to lose ugly." Colin fell back indifferently, leaning against the wall to look at Chang Yufeng: "If I can beat you, I will definitely be the champion. Unfortunately, I don't have the strength to do so."

Hall listened but said nothing.

So Chang Yufeng looked at Colin innocently, not knowing what he was thinking. This person was so cunning, and he was very slow in front of him.

"Colin, will you go to Rastar?" Maloof turned around, looking lost.

"Maybe, probably." Colin looked at Malov and said happily, "Be happy, Malov. It's not shameful to lose to the strongest."

"Oh, if you want to go, call me and I'll go too. I don't want to go anywhere else." Malov answered softly. Perhaps feeling embarrassed, he glanced at Hall who had his eyes closed and sat up: "I'm leaving... remember to call me."

"it is good."

Maloof leaves and Colin waves goodbye.

In comparison, only Chang Yufeng behaved extremely immaturely. Only then did he feel the gap between himself and other children.

He is not as mature mentally or as good at thinking as them.

However, having said that, he could only think seriously about when his hand would be healed.

Erica had also reminded himself to be careful, but he still fell into the trap.

Of course, there was no way he could really avoid it.

There is still one person from the top four who has not yet reached the lounge, but the draw will be soon.

"Well, it's fate that we can be rivals, right? How about getting to know each other?" Colin suddenly seemed to be interested and sat up straight, motioning for the other two to introduce themselves: "How about it?"

He introduced himself first: "My name is Colin Corridge, from the Corridge family. Now, I am the head of the Corridge family. I am six years old."

After hearing Colin introduce himself, Hall opened his eyes, looked at Colin, then closed his eyes again and said in a low voice: "Hall Theatus."

"What about you?" Colin turned his head to Chang Yufeng, wanting him to introduce himself.

Chang Yufeng looked at Colin in confusion. It was very puzzling, but harmless.

He also opened his mouth and called out his own name.

"Jack Nyman."

"Ah, we are all here to win first place, but obviously, our champion today is already sitting here. When the other person comes, we can start drawing lots. I would like to congratulate Master Hall first. When you go to Fran, remember to send me some Fran specialties."

Colin first saluted and smiled respectfully at Hall. Chang Yufeng didn't understand what Colin meant, nor did he know what he wanted to do. He just watched silently.

Indeed, Hall was not injured after several rounds of fighting, and he didn't even breathe. He was dragging his right hand which was almost unable to fight. Even if he was drawn by lot, he would not be able to fight.

It is understandable to say that the champion is predetermined.

I thought to myself that no matter what, I could fight with everyone I met with my strength so that the teachings and hard work of Erica and my master Xiaoyu would not go to waste, and it would be worthy of myself. But now, it was obviously impossible.

But he was not very angry because he had been told to be careful. If he still got caught, he would most likely blame himself.

The numbness of the hand extended to the arm, so that the whole hand had no feeling. In other words, it felt like a slight electric shock, and if you exerted force, you would tremble.

I can't even hold the sword like this.

Not to mention going on the ring to fight against the others here.

Hall didn't say anything, just remained silent, and Colin found that the conversation was not going on, so he also remained silent for a while.

A few seconds later, a girl came in with a novice sword, sat in the position where Malov had just sat, and patted her armor seriously.

This girl has short blond hair tied into a very simple ponytail. She is wearing armor, which gives people a very heavy feeling. In fact, she is as capable, neat and simple as her hairstyle. At first glance, she looks very masculine, but in fact, she has regular facial features and is also beautiful.

As soon as she came in, Colin sat down quickly and looked at the girl in surprise: "Wendy! Long time no see!"

"So, you studied all the contestants?" Wendy raised her eyebrows and placed the novice sword next to her: "Just like before, you are really unusually serious about everything."

"What else... I'm not strong... I can only find other people's weaknesses, right?" Colin seemed to know Wendy, himself, and Hall. He was surprisingly cheerful and lively, without any sense of strangeness.

He was so familiar with people, so familiar to the heavens, which Chang Yufeng would never be able to do. He was probably the only country boy here.

Chang Yufeng felt that there was indeed a huge gap between him and the kids in the city. At least in terms of how he handled things, he was a little shy, or seemed not so willing to speak out and think about problems.

Anyway, I don't feel as smart as others, I feel stupid. Or in other words, I don't fit in.

This is bad.

If you say he worked hard, he only worked hard for more than half a year. Although his basic exercises were recognized by Erica, he had to endure Erica's "beating" every day to maintain the effect of training and improve his actual combat.

I originally thought that this was enough, strength speaks for itself, right... I clearly thought that there was nothing wrong with being fair and just like this... Everyone speaks with strength, and there won't be any complaints.

If you lose, you lose. If you are not strong enough, you die. But I didn't expect that I was so out of touch.

If Colin hadn't reminded me, I would never have thought that everything was so complicated...

Otherwise, he would just think that Locke wanted to win, so he insulted him and played a trick to let him succeed, but as long as he was defeated, it would also be considered as breaking his idea.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs also helped him and punished Locke.

But his arms were completely powerless and he would definitely be eliminated in the next round of the draw.

Looking at Colin again, he still hadn't figured out one thing, that is, everyone present was his opponent.

He should be thinking about how to analyze his opponent so that he can get a good ranking or win the championship, instead of just thinking about how to control his hands from shaking and still failing.

He was like a headless fly, not knowing the attack mode of the three here, or having watched even one of their games. He just fought them head-on.

I am indeed far, far behind.

As for analytical ability, he could only think that Locke wanted to win, but he never thought about who wanted him to win behind Locke, or who wanted him to cheat.

Is it really him?
He doesn't know, so he is incompetent.

Colin talked eloquently. Hall was recognized to be powerful, but it was impossible to tell at first glance how powerful Wendy's female swordsman was.

In other words, since I am not good at communication and do not necessarily have strong strength, I am much inferior to these city kids. If we simply do our best, perhaps everyone can try to do it. Then what is the point of competing?

His heart was heavy, and he didn't hear what they were talking about. This reminded him of what he had said before, that he didn't care too much about his opponents. This was not right, so he listened to their conversation carefully.

But before they knew it, they had finished talking and the referee who was drawing lots brought in a box.

They then drew lots to decide the order of the matches.

Chang Yufeng did not draw Hall, but Colin.

Chang Yufeng felt a little tired, because even though he had help from others and had things he wanted to do, he always didn't do them very well.

It often happens that he doesn't think things through or does things poorly.

He hasn't failed yet, but he already feels like he has failed a lot.

In front of them, he almost had the sign of losing, whether it was his independent character or the upcoming battle. So much so that this kind of loss made him feel very reasonable. Maybe he...

Lost a lot? Should I?
