Chapter 395 The night is so beautiful, no matter how dangerous it is~
As night falls, the stars twinkle, and the soft moonlight and sea breeze caress the island, gradually calming the lively atmosphere.
Of course, beneath this calm appearance, expectations and curiosity are still hidden in everyone's hearts. After all, today's competition is just an elimination match, and the final battle is still the only way to truly decide the ownership of Honghuang Tower.
Compared to the one-sided competition during the day, the duel between the two geniuses who have both reached the Great Perfection of Shengxuan Realm tomorrow will be more interesting. Who will be the mysterious dark horse Lin Changqiang who will be better, or will Shentu Jue once again raise his name as the Iron-Blooded Shura? The answer will be revealed tomorrow.
Lin Changqiang did not rest at this time. He sat cross-legged one meter above the ground and practiced quietly. Countless fine lightning arcs bound his body like silver armor, constantly tempering his whole body.
After Dao Zong cultivated the wild body to perfection, even though he could still rely on absorbing the wild energy to strengthen himself, his efficiency had dropped a lot.
Now that he has acquired General Tian Gong's Tianwu School, his body has been significantly strengthened again.
Although doing so would slightly slow down his progress in cultivation, he was not willing to be a glass cannon with high attack and low defense.
We must develop in an all-round way!
"clatter."
"clatter."
Suddenly, two gentle knocks on the door were heard. Lin Changqiang subconsciously scanned the intruders, then immediately ended his training and stood up with a smile.
"Please come in."
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl pushed the door open, her snow-white dress making her look like a dancing elf, which highlighted her delicate body. However, her slightly shy face made her even more lovely.
"I haven't seen you for a few hours. Do you miss me?"
Lin Changqiang said this jokingly, which made Ying Huanhuan raise her eyebrows slightly.
"I don't think I miss you, you narcissist!"
Ying Huanhuan rolled her eyes, but there was no anger in her words. Thanks to Tolin's spear, her original nervousness disappeared.
"Sister Mengqi said that it was inconvenient for you in the middle of the night, so she asked me to bring the chart over."
After saying that, she handed over a thick scroll, which made Lin Changqiang look happy.
His current sea chart was prepared by Dao Zong. Although it covers a wider range, it is somewhat lacking in details. Now that he has the sea chart from the local Gu family, it can be said that the gap has been made up.
Of course, when he took the nautical chart, he pretended to be careless. His thumb lightly touched the inner side of Ying Huanhuan's thumb, and his palm rubbed across the back of her hand, causing the girl to shrink slightly but quickly regain her composure, as if she had not noticed it at all.
“Are you confident about tomorrow’s final?”
She turned her head away and looked away, gently combing her long hair with her right hand, and her fair neck was slightly flushed, making her incredibly beautiful.
Lin Changqiang felt his heart beat faster, but he still looked confident.
"Of course. When have you ever seen me lose at the same level?"
"Too."
After saying that, the two fell into silence. Lin Changqiang glanced at Ying Huanhuan's back from time to time, while Ying Huanhuan lowered her eyes, her gaze darting around the ground, no one knew what she was thinking.
When the silence intensified, she finally spoke a little awkwardly: "Then I'll leave first."
Ying Huanhuan walked quickly towards the door in small steps. Seeing this, Lin Changqiang wanted to ask her to stay, but he didn't know what reason to come up with.
It was not until the girl pushed open the door, revealing the dim light outside, that he subconsciously called her to stop. However, when he saw Ying Huanhuan immediately turned around with shyness and expectation in her eyes, he said, "Thank you."
"..." The girl's expression changed instantly. She glared at him resentfully, said "you're welcome" unhappily, then shook her hair and turned away.
Lin Changqiang opened his mouth and sighed, and a shadow of an old man suddenly flew out of the Qiankun bag, his face full of anger.
"Look, look, just tell the Ice Lord openly that you want her to stay and spend the night with you, right? What's there to be afraid of? When I was your age, I already..."
"You've already found a partner? Then what about your lover? Why have I never heard you mention it? Is it the Ancestral Stone or the King-Destroying Heavenly Plate, the Dark Holy Scythe or the Xuantian Palace? You can't be single from ancient times until now, a perpetual bachelor?"
Lin Changqiang, who was already depressed, rolled his eyes and spoke like a string of cannonballs, choking on the question from the Great Desolate Monument. Now it was his turn to be depressed.
"Living alone! This is called living alone! How can you call yourself a bachelor if you have never married in order to protect the Tianxuan Continent?!" He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"You were stuttering just now, but now you speak fluently in front of me. You are so good at speaking. If you have the guts, go find the Ice Lord now!"
After saying that, he "whoosh" went back into the Qiankun bag, as if he was afraid of being chased and attacked again, but Lin Changqiang still relentlessly chased his mental power into the bag and started yelling.
"What's the point of being the Ice Lord? She has her own name, Ying Huanhuan!"
...A night of practice without any conversation.
The next day, the sky brightened and the sound of breaking wind filled the air. Figures rushed to the top of the mountain like fleas. Of course, many people did not go down the mountain at all last night, so it was not long before the top of the mountain was crowded with people.
Countless people looked towards the center of the mountain top, where there was a bluestone square covering an area of several hundred feet. At the end of the square stood a tall tower. The tower exuded an ancient and wild atmosphere, which made people feel as if they were dreaming of a time of ancient times.
That is the Honghuang Tower.
People's eyes are filled with enthusiasm and desire, but most of them are just sighing in despair.
This stone tower guarded by five major families was familiar to everyone present.
Just the Honghuang Pearls refined using the energy inside the Honghuang Tower can give the user a slight boost to their physical body, not to mention entering it and directly absorbing the Honghuang Qi. It's a pity that they are destined not to enjoy this benefit.
“I don’t know who will get the spot this year.”
"I believe in Lin Changqiang, he is the one that everyone is looking forward to!"
"It's hard to say. Although the Dao Sect is a super sect in the Eastern Xuan Region, Lin Changqiang has just cultivated to the Shengxuan Realm. He may not be able to defeat Shen Tu Jue."
After the spread from yesterday afternoon until now, although the Gu family and the Wei family did not reveal the results of their respective investigations, everyone still learned that Lin Changqiang came from a sect called Dao Sect, and that there was even a person in the Wheel-Turning Realm within the sect.
It's a pity that due to time constraints, the version they were looking for was obviously not updated yet. If they fight again in a few days, when the latest news spreads, I'm afraid everyone's opinions will be one-sided.
Some eyes fell on the bottom of the stone tower, where a man in gray was sitting cross-legged, as if he was completely unaware of the movement around him.
Shentu Jue.
Looking at the man with a sunny face, many people who saw him for the first time were very surprised. After all, this appearance was extremely inconsistent with the name of the Iron-Blooded Shura.
But those who were familiar with Shentu Jue's character all looked solemn, for they knew how unruly and ferocious this seemingly cheerful man was.
Thanks to "Ink Screen" for voting for the monthly ticket. I wish you all the best, and hope that every day will be smooth. There will be no emergencies when you go to the toilet, play games, or do business, such as takeaways arriving, property management coming to your door, clothes falling off your clothes drying pole upstairs, and you knocking on your door to pick them up, etc._
