Chapter 141 Preliminary Rounds

Looking at the scene before him, Wen Ning felt no emotion whatsoever.

It was as if she were truly a bystander.

Only she herself knows whether he was truly an observer.

At this point, the protagonist has only been stripped of two cheat codes. His path to a comeback will not end so quickly. This is only the first match of the qualifiers. It will be easy for him to win.

The regional competitions were held simultaneously in different areas, and the regional competition with Shrek Academy was the fastest to finish.

Even the host seemed a little stunned when announcing the results.

It's astonishing that an unknown academy was able to defeat a long-established academy so quickly.

It's simply unbelievable.

After winning a brilliant match, Shrek and his team all wore expressions of joy.

They left the field side by side, preparing for the next match.

Watching them leave, Wen Ning suddenly asked Qian Renxue, "Do you think this academy is a dark horse about to rise?"

Her words came so suddenly that Qian Renxue didn't even realize for a moment that Wen Ning was talking to her.

Recalling the question Wen Ning raised, Qian Renxue quickly denied it, "No one can shake the honor of the Spirit Hall."

Although she had a bad relationship with that person, the Spirit Hall was where she grew up, and she had a strong sense of belonging to it.

Qian Renxue's tone was so resolute.

Wen Ning couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

"I also think that even if it really is a dark horse, so what? It can shake the glory of the Spirit Hall."

The following matches also went very smoothly.

Because an elimination system was adopted from the beginning, weaker academies would be eliminated in one competition after another.

In the final stage, only the dark horses that emerge from hundreds or thousands of academies will remain.

At that time, all of these people will appear in Wuhun City to compete for the final victory.

The Spirit Hall Academy does not need to compete; they directly enter the final competition.

This is a privilege reserved for the organizers.

Moreover, even if the Spirit Hall Academy were to compete for a spot in the competition, the final result would only be one less academy entering the finals.

The Spirit Hall possesses the best Spirit Master resources in the world, and the Spirit Hall Academy is equally strong; they are unlikely to be eliminated in the preliminary rounds.

Therefore, there is no dispute about the privileges of the Spirit Hall.

The main reason is that the Spirit Hall Academy has won the championship for the past few years.

They no longer need to participate in the qualifiers.

It is also a privilege given to the champion.

The match ended quickly today. As the game progressed, Wen Ning became somewhat numb and almost fell asleep leaning against Qian Renxue.

Fortunately, she didn't approach her directly, otherwise, the scandal of the crown prince having an affair with a maid would have spread tomorrow.

"This isn't fun. Shall we go get something to eat?"

Wen Ning grabbed Qian Renxue and walked outside, intending to let Qian Renxue go for a stroll with him.

This is the first time in her life that Qian Renxue has met someone as talkative as Wen Ning.

What's remarkable is that she didn't seem to mind it.

Tian Dou City is not quiet at night; on the contrary, it is exceptionally lively.

People were laughing and playing on the streets of Tiandou City. Wen Ning led Qian Renxue along the streets of Tiandou City, occasionally slipping something into Qian Renxue's hand.

At this moment, Qian Renxue had shed her Xue Qinghe disguise and revealed her true self, appearing sacred and inviolable.

But it was this very person who accompanied Wen Ning as he wandered around Tian Dou City.

"What exactly do you want?"

Walking with Wen Ning through the streets of Tiandou City at night, Qian Renxue was somewhat puzzled.

This is the third street she and Wen Ning have walked together. Haven't they found one she likes yet?

Actually, Wen Ning wanted to eat barbecue, but after looking around, she realized that none of the barbecue options she saw seemed very good.

So she's looking for a barbecue restaurant that she thinks is good.

I just don't know when I'll be able to find it.

Wen Ning turned to look at Qian Renxue, a hint of surprise in her smile. "What would you like to eat?"

Wen Ning watched the preliminary rounds today and found that they weren't as fun as she had imagined, so she decided not to watch them tomorrow and go straight back to the Spirit Hall.

Since we're going back anyway, why not leave a little memory with Qian Renxue?

This was the approach Wen Ning had come up with.

Let's take Qian Renxue to stroll around the night market in Tiandou City.

Previously, Qian Renxue needed to disguise herself as Xue Qinghe, and she would definitely not come to such places casually on ordinary days, but today she doesn't need to disguise herself.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

You can just be yourself for once.

Wen Ning looked at the person in front of her calmly, waiting for the other person to give her an answer.

Actually, when asked this question, Qian Renxue didn't really have a specific classical Chinese text she wanted. She simply shook her head and said, "Just pick the one you like."

Although the implied meaning wasn't explicitly stated, Wen Ning could say with certainty that this was what she meant.

Doesn't Qian Renxue have anything she particularly likes?

Although she had this question in her mind, Wen Ning did not ask it directly, but instead looked at the man beside her.

This person has been staring at them ever since they stopped here. What is he trying to do?

The other person's clothes and appearance were unfamiliar to Wen Ning, and even their face was completely unfamiliar.

Therefore, she was certain that she did not know this person.

"Yan Yi, who is this person?"

Wen Ning frowned slightly as she met the other person's gaze.

Although there were only the two of them on the surface, Wen Ning knew that someone else was protecting them in secret.

To be precise, it was protecting Qian Renxue, and she benefited from it.

"You don't actually know him, but he knows you exist."

This man was someone who had appeared beside Wen Ning a long time ago; he was a friend of the previous owner of the Death Scythe.

There was a hideous scar on his face, which looked somewhat terrifying, but it did not deter Wen Ning at all. To Wen Ning, it only increased his recognizability of the person in front of him.

"So, he also knows I have twin martial souls?"

Wen Ning was somewhat curious.

She wasn't far from Qian Renxue at this moment, so this man was essentially standing between her and Qian Renxue.

He was staring intently at her, his gaze occasionally lingering on Qian Renxue.

He seemed to be staring at Wen Ning's face the whole time. Wen Ning didn't know what he meant by doing this, but she wasn't afraid at all.

"I don't know, I only know you're from the Spirit Hall."

The man had barely finished speaking when the person who had been staring at her spoke up, "Want to have dinner together?"

His voice was a little hoarse, and his tone was somewhat forced and stiff.

Wen Ning was somewhat unaccustomed to this.

Just as Wen Ning was pondering how to answer, Qian Renxue directly refused him, "No need."

It was at this moment that Yan Yi suddenly spoke up, "Say yes."
