Chapter 618: The Test from Northleap
“Master, do you want to challenge Gu Baiyi in the second round?” Sitting beside Xiao Shun, Song Linger looked worriedly at him.
“No.” Xiao Shun shook his head with a light laugh.
Seeing the surprised looks on Song Linger and Yang Tiancai’s faces, his smile grew even brighter.
“Hehe, don’t forget the real purpose of our participation in this competition.”
Upon hearing this, Song Linger asked with a puzzled expression, “Isn’t it for revenge?”
She had always thought that Xiao Shun’s main goal in participating in the Hero Cup was to seek revenge against Gu Baiyi. But the way Master spoke just now seemed different from what she had previously thought.
Immediately, Xiao Shun cleared up her confusion.
“Revenge is just a means, not the goal… Actually, what I really want is to establish the New School Society during this competition, in front of the Old School Society.”
“You mean…” Song Linger looked at Xiao Shun with deep meaning.
“Yes, I want to prove the existence of the New School Society in front of the Old School Society at the end of the competition, and at the same time, I want to recruit talents in front of the top members of the Old School Society!”
Xiao Shun confidently said, his tone calm and composed.
“If Master defeats Gu Baiyi, many people will definitely admire you and everyone will know the strength of our martial union!”
“Furthermore, recently the Old School Society has been divided and many people may still show respect on the surface, but secretly, there is a lot of resentment. As long as we offer suitable conditions, those dissatisfied with the Old School Society will definitely flock to us!”
Yang Tiancai pondered and analyzed Xiao Shun’s plan without missing a single detail.
After listening to his analysis, Song Linger’s eyes lit up, but soon she became annoyed.
After all, if more people join the martial union, the workload for her and her junior brother will greatly increase! Xiao Shun, as their carefree master, would definitely not bother with these trivial matters. It was inevitable that the responsibility of managing the martial union would fall on the shoulders of Song Linger and Yang Tiancai. This was not surprising at all.
“Mr. Xiao!”
At this moment, someone suddenly walked up to Xiao Shun.
Song Linger and Yang Tiancai were both unfamiliar with this person, and they became curious, wondering why he came to see Xiao Shun!
But Xiao Shun was impressed by this person who suddenly greeted him and nodded slightly. “Hehe, it’s Luo, right?”
This person was none other than Luo Qianyi, the eldest senior brother of the North Club. As the most outstanding young generation of the Northleap Old School Society, he naturally wouldn’t miss today’s competition. The reason why he didn’t approach Xiao Shun earlier was because his master, Qin Zhenhuan, had given him a task.
This task was simply to investigate Xiao Shun.
Collecting himself, Luo Qianyi looked at Xiao Shun meaningfully. “Do you remember what you said in front of the master and the Northleap Old School Society?”
“Naturally.” Xiao Shun smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, Luo Qianyi continued, “When I came to Harrow, the master asked me to investigate Mr. Xiao.”
Xiao Shun wasn’t surprised at all, unlike Yang Tiancai and Song Linger. Instead, he said to himself, “If I’m not mistaken, Senior Qin most likely wanted you to assess the level of conflict between me and the Old School Society, right?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Qianyi’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. He didn’t expect that the other party would be able to guess the task assigned by his master.
After being slightly surprised for a moment, he quickly recovered and answered Xiao Shun’s question.
“Yes… Currently, the situation in the Northleap Old School Society, as you probably learned from the banquet the other day, is such that if we didn’t consider the lack of resources after leaving the Old School Society, we would have left long ago.”
Having said that, Luo Qianyi paused and put on an extremely serious expression.
“But after hearing what you said on the stage just now, my master has been contemplating a way out. I have witnessed the intense conflict between you and the Old School Society just now, so the first task my master gave me is complete!”
“Did Senior Qin assign you any other tasks?” Xiao Shun smiled wryly.
Luo Qianyi nodded. “As long as you can win the Hero Cup, my master will immediately lead many Northleap experts to leave the Old School Society and join your New School Society.”
“Your master is testing my strength and determination.” Xiao Shun smiled and looked at Luo Qianyi.
Winning this competition is undoubtedly a symbol of the strength of the New School Society and represents the call for a challenge to the Old School Society!
This is very important for the Northleap experts who have left the Old School Society, including Qin Zhenhuan. If Xiao Shun can achieve this, they will naturally join in without hesitation and spare no effort in expanding their territory.
If Xiao Shun cannot do this, then there is no basis for their cooperation.
“This is the only condition for us to join the New School Society, and it is also the most important one.” Luo Qianyi said lightly, his gaze focused on Xiao Shun’s face, waiting for his response.
Seeing this, Xiao Shun smiled very relaxedly, “I will meet your conditions.”
Luo Qianyi deeply looked at him and then turned and left.
Just as Xiao Shun and Luo Qianyi were talking, the second round of the competition officially began.
The rules of this round were different from the first round.
In the previous round, the Old School Society had selected eight fighters for battle, but this time, only four fighters were chosen and they had to pick their own opponents.
In other words, it was a challenge system, which had its advantages and disadvantages!
The advantage was that under this rule, the Old School Society would not be criticized for the matches, as they were not involved in selecting the opponents.
As for the disadvantage, it was that some fighters who were not particularly strong suffered. Now, after the four fighters stepped onto the stage, they immediately chose opponents who were weaker than themselves, and the fights ended almost in a flash.
“Damn, why do I have a feeling that I’ll be challenged soon?” Yang Tiancai said worriedly.
During this period of time, he had made rapid progress in his strength, but in such a competition where four outstanding individuals gathered, his own strength seemed insufficient!
“Junior brother, just go up. If that bastard dares to bully you, Senior Sister will definitely avenge you!” Song Linger said, patting Yang Tiancai’s shoulder.
Yang Tiancai was overjoyed, “You’re such a great senior sister.”
Song Linger grinned mischievously, “Of course, when we get back, you’ll help me clean the stove. Consider it as repaying your senior sister.”
After hearing that, Yang Tiancai felt like crying without tears!This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
