Chapter 193: Fixed Spots
“We never thought of getting into the top three! We just want to acc.u.mulate experience!”
“That’s right, that’s right. We’re just sparring with others!”
“There are so many young experts in Seven Star City. It’s already very good that we can make it to the semi-finals!”
…
Seeing Lugh come over, they hurriedly greeted him, “Big Brother Lugh, are you going to partic.i.p.ate in the preliminaries?”
Without realizing it, Lugh had already risen to the position of Big Brother!
Even Wu Yuchan, who was a lot older than him, followed suit and called him Big Brother Lugh. Of course, most of them were teasing him!
This made Lugh a little depressed!
Was he very old?
He was clearly very young, alright!
“I’m going to partic.i.p.ate!”
“Then when are you going to prepare the forms?”
“Wait a minute, I’m not busy!”
At this time, Lugh would never say that someone would help him sign up!
After returning to his simple room, Lugh fell asleep very quickly!
Three days later, Sang Kun invited Lugh again!
Sang Kun still spoke in the style of a straightforward and capable soldier. “The Guardian said that if you’re busy, he will directly give you a spot for the semi-finals. At that time, you only need to spend one day to partic.i.p.ate in the semi-finals and finals. After all, you’re going to represent our Seven Star City to partic.i.p.ate in the martial arts compet.i.tion. If you don’t even show up, there will definitely be people in Seven Star City who will be dissatisfied. Ordinary people will also think that we’re playing dirty tricks!”
“Can I?”
Lugh felt that this backdoor of his was a little too arrogant!
“If you’re not willing, you can still fight from the beginning to the end!”
“I’m willing! Of course I’m willing!”
No matter what, he, Lugh, had relied on his own ability to go through the backdoor!
As long as his strength was strong, he was not afraid of others gossiping about him!
At worst, he could just stand on the stage and fight a few matches properly!
For the rest of the time, Lugh focused on increasing the strength of the Berserk Bear!
The Berserk Bear’s defense and strength had yet to comprehend any particularly powerful skills. When it came to killing Fierce Beasts, it could only act on its own. Its efficiency was much slower than the Stormhawk and the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine!
Almost ten days later, the Berserk Bear was successfully upgraded to High-Grade Silver!
When Lugh returned to the camp, he realized that all the members in the camp were looking at him with a strange expression!
Lugh asked curiously, “Why are you looking at me? Is my face dirty?”
Wu Yuchan probed, “Lugh, have you forgotten something?”
“What is it?”
“Haven’t you noticed that there are fewer people here?”
Lugh took a look. The number of people chatting around the bonfire was indeed fewer than before!
“So what?”
“Lugh, today is the preliminaries! Did you forget about this matter?” Wu Yuchan said with some madness, “This is related to whether or not you can represent our Seven Star City to partic.i.p.ate in the Illumination Empire’s Southwest City-State Youth Genius Compet.i.tion!”
“How could you forget such an important thing?”
Lugh suddenly felt enlightened. “So it’s today!”
“Yeah, the rest of the Qin family went to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. I saw you go out this morning, and I thought you were going to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion!”
Lugh waved his hand and said, “It’s okay, don’t worry!”
“You don’t want to go?”
“Of course I want to go!”
“Then why did you forget such an important day?”
The other Beast Masters of the First Team also said:
“Yeah, why did you forget this day?”
“Lugh, why don’t you go and tell the Captain?”
…
Seeing that so many seniors were concerned about him, Lugh felt a little embarra.s.sed.
He walked to the bonfire and whispered, “Don’t worry, Captain Sang Kun told me to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion on the last day of the compet.i.tion, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t go today!”
“F*ck!”
“F*ck!”
“It’s the semi-finals this year!”
“There’s no one else!”
“I mean, how could you forget such an important day!”
“You made us worry for nothing. Why didn’t you tell us earlier?”
Lugh said a little embarra.s.sedly, “How could I have the nerve to tell others about this?”
“But that’s true. If I directly partic.i.p.ate in the semi-finals, there probably won’t be anyone else!”
“Those who don’t know will think that there is a conspiracy!”
“Lugh, are you related to the higher-ups?”
…
One by one, the Beast Masters began to ask about him again. Lugh couldn’t take it anymore, so he went straight to the cafeteria to eat!
After staying in the military camp for another seven days, Lugh and Mora took a three-day vacation. Mora knew that he was going to partic.i.p.ate in the preliminaries and even encouraged him a few words!
After returning home, Yann met with Hestia and Xu Xiaoxiao.
Xu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and asked, “Brother Lugh, did you partic.i.p.ate in the Seven Star City’s young genius preliminaries? As long as you enter the top three, you can represent our Seven Star City to partic.i.p.ate in the preliminaries of the Illumination Empire’s Southwest City-State Young Genius Tournament?”
Lugh nodded. “Yes!”
Xu Xiaoxiao asked curiously, “But why don’t I see Big Brother Lugh?”
Lugh smiled and said, “Don’t tell me you think that I’ve been eliminated?”
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Lugh suspiciously. “But I don’t see Big Brother Lugh…”
Lugh smiled and said quietly with her little hair, “When have I ever lied to you? That’s probably because you didn’t notice!”
Xu Xiaoxiao continued, “Brother Lugh is so powerful. He will definitely get second place and represent our Seven Star City!”
“Why am I second place? Do you think that Brother doesn’t have the ability to get first place?”
“Didn’t you say that there is a conspiracy in this year’s preliminaries? The first place has already been decided internally?”
“Uh, who is so capable?”
The first place in his heart?
Even if he walked the path of the Lord Guardian, he didn’t have the ability to do so!
Lugh was puzzled.
Sang Kun hadn’t even revealed this matter to Lugh!
The first place in the preliminaries was definitely his, Lugh.
Even if there was a conspiracy going on, he would have to trouble Lugh to give up the first place. Wouldn’t it be good if he was second and third place in the conspiracy?
There was no need to doubt Lugh’s strength. Who else could be stronger than him?
Xu Xiaoxiao replied, “I heard from others that someone directly entered into the semi-finals?”
Lugh was a little embarra.s.sed!
The one who entered into the semi-finals seemed to be himself!
Xu Xiaoxiao continued to whisper, “They all said that it was a conspiracy. If they said that the final champion, it would definitely be that person who entered out of nowhere!”
Seeing Lugh’s complicated expression, Xu Xiaoxiao thought that Lugh was sad, therefore, she comforted him gently. “Brother Lugh, don’t worry too much. You’re so strong. Even if you don’t get the first place, you can still get the second place. That’s pretty good! When the time comes for the youth tournament in the Southwest City-State, that guy will still reveal his true form. You can still prove your strength!”
“That big b*stard who is a conspiracy is destined to not go far!”
“Big Brother Lugh will always be the best. I believe that you have to work hard too!”
Being comforted and isolated by his own sister, Lugh was both touched and helpless.
He rubbed Xu Xiaoxiao’s hair and said, “Xiaoxiao, do you know that the person who is involved in the shady business and is determined to be the first place in the semi-finals is me?”
“Ah!”
Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao’s dumbfounded look, Lugh could not help but want to laugh.
“Really, Brother?”
“Why would I lie to you?”
“Brother Lugh, you are really too awesome!”
Lugh teased, “Didn’t you say that the person who is involved in the shady business is a big b.a.s.t.a.r.d?”
Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, “It’s not the same. Brother Lugh must be too awesome to be able to directly control the semi-finals of the fairway, right?”
Other People’s semi-finals were a black curtain!
His semi-finals were strength!
Xu Xiaoxiao’s double standards made Lugh feel like it was very funny!
Xu Xiaoxiao still had a lot of faith in Lugh’s strength!
After a good day of rest, Lugh did not continue to rest at home the next day. Instead, he was dragged by Xu Xiaoxiao to the venue of the selection compet.i.tion!
The Seven Star City’s genius selection compet.i.tion was set outside the city. A large, empty field could be used by Beast Tamers at will!
By the time Lugh and the others arrived, the field was already filled with spectators!
The selection compet.i.tion was not something that could be seen every year. It was only held once every three years. Therefore, as long as people had the time, be it Beast Tamers or commoners, they would come to witness the Seven Star City’s Young Geniuses’ Compet.i.tion!
Especially those commoners, they rarely saw Beast Tamers fight!
In this world, Fierce Beasts were rampant, and there were dangers everywhere. Everyone was in danger, and entertainment was scarce!
Those powerful Beast Tamers, those young genius Beast Tamers, were the most dazzling stars.
