Chapter 68

Chapter 68 — Spirit City (3)

After the situation settled down, the various envoys from the Heaven Dou Empire continued their travel toward Spirit City.

While traveling, Ning Fengzhi started explaining the reason they got attacked and why two Titled Doulou also came.

They were most likely from the Spirit Hall and wanted to kill Tang San after learning that he was Tang Hao's son. His talent also proved great, making him a large future threat to them.

At this moment, Ning Chen's view over Spirit Hall reached the negative, especially when his younger sister and clan also got involved in the conflict.

It was also the same for Tang San, his sister would always be in constant danger if she continue staying besides him.

Ning Chen grew more interested to see the Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall. He wondered if she was the mastermind of the attack earlier.

Nonetheless, Ning Fengzhi reassured Ning Chen and the other lads to not worry too much. They needed to completely focus competing in the finals.

The Heaven Dou Empire's competing academies continued onwards, and for the rest of their journey, no more accidents luckily happened. As a result, they safely reached their destination, the Spirit City.

Compared to the enormous Heaven Dou City, Spirit City was clearly smaller, it's area not even capable of covering a tenth of the former. However, it was still plenty enough to shock people.

The high, tall city walls appeared extremely domineering from the outside, and they were also thick, built entirely out of durable stones.

Ning Chen couldn't help sighing in admiration, as his gaze landed upon these walls.

In fact, he had once heard about the Spirit City was built entirely by the Spirit Hall without any support, only using their own resources and finances to build it.

It was definitely amazing to hear.

The people from the Heaven Dou Empire soon entered the Spirit City, it's inside quickly giving them a spacious and luxurious impression.

There weren't a lot of people on the streets, and only very few shops. The business from those shops was clearly aimed toward Spirit Masters.

They were soon welcomed by a cardinal, and under his guidance, brought them toward a grand hotel.

According to the information they heard from the cardinal, the final competition would officially begin in three days. Their journey was wearying, these three days of rest being sufficient for them to recover and adjust.

They had also learned that the stadium was located next to the Supreme Pontiff's Palace. It was next, but also far-away.

As for the Supreme Pontiff herself, she was only gonna show her appearance at the last three battles of the finals.

No one expressed their complains, the Supreme Pontiff's status was that high.

The Shrek Academy And Emperor Team decided to fully use these three days to recuperate and also cultivate to prepare.

Ning Chen was different from them and instead preferred to sightsee around the Spirit City. He didn't felt tired at all, and knew that even if he cultivated, he wouldn't show any major progress.

A waste of time.

He instead decided to have some fun and familiarise himself in this new territory.

Ning Chen started exploring around the city, but then spotted the Blazing Academy somewhere. They piqued his curiousity, he saw some familiar students of the Godwing Academy joining their ranks.

They had lost their qualification for the finals, but decided to become part of the blazing academy....

Was that allowed?

Ning Chen wondered, but decided to not just care about it. The tournament allowed them, so it had nothing to do with him now. In fact, the Spirit Hall didn't cared, as they arrogantly believed their own team were absolutely gonna win no matter how much they struggled.

Ning Chen continued his exploration, eating new kinds of street foods, but then happened to stumble upon the Skywater Academy's captain.

"Was she Shui Bing'er...?'

Ning Chen wasn't exactly sure, but decided to approach her slowly.

Shui Bing'er was a very beautiful young maiden. She was quite tall, her figure being exceptionally well proportioned, neither exaggeratedly ample or petite.

Her face is decorated with exquisite features, and a frame of ocean blue hair scattered over her delicate back. At first glance, she might not seem so outstanding, but upon a closer look, Ning Chen quickly discovered her unique beauty.

A beauty resembling the rising moon.

It was the reason why Ning Chen wanted to approach Shu Bing'er. She was charming.

As the soon-to-be God Of Beauty, he needed to be acquainted with all sorts of beauties and then conquer them.

Well, that was just a joke and not necessarily the truth. Or is it?

Ning Chen merely wanted to have a short conversation with such a beautiful maiden because they were both captain of their own team.

Her Skywater team was also the Emperor Team's first opponent, which means they were gonna fight in the future.

"Hey! You're Shui Bing'er, right? The captain of the Skywater Team?"

Shui Bing'er turned to look at the person that talked to her. She was quite stunned to see an unfamiliar, but extremely handsome man.

"I am indeed Shui Bing'er, but who are you?"

Ning Chen lips curled upward, his cheeks glistening with a healthy tint of vibrant red.

"My name is Ning Chen, the captain of the Emperor Team. I am actually a fan of you, amazed at the spirit fusion that you showed against the Shrek Academy. It was beautiful."

It was the truth, it was something that captivated him and broaden his knowledge about the concept of ice.

"Oh, so you're Ning Chen. Thanks for your praise, I'm very flattered hearing that." She giggled lightly.

"Hehe, my praise is not that much, but if you want, I can continue praising you. What do you say?"

"I would feel happy at that, but don't you do it! I will certain feel embarrassed!"

"I don't mind that since seeing a beautiful lady getting embarrassed is an excellent sight. It would definitely energize me through the entire day."

"But I care, okay? Sigh, why do handsome men have such a flirty tongue..."

"I'm certainly not a playboy like them, but I guess, I do instinctively want to impress every beautiful ladies I came across."

"Wow, you're quite disgusting and creepy, aren't you? Are you perhaps a natural-born womanizer? No girls would like you if you keep acting like that."

She looked at him in disgust, but her playful smile showed she was just joking, or maybe not...

"No, of course not..." Ning Chen could only laugh dryly upon hearing that, thinking that he should have not said those words. However, he soon shook his face.

"Nonetheless, good luck to you, especially at our match against the finals."

"Likewise, I hope we can have a good match without any bad feeling to it."

Shui Bing'er extended her hand toward Ning Chen.

Ning Chen smiled and grabbed her delicate and tender hand, shaking it slowly.

"My pleasure."

The two of them soon said their goodbye and went away to do their own things.

...

Ugh, I don't know her original personality, so OC :D
