Shirō Makino reached out and gently hugged Lin Zijin's slender waist. "I'm fine. Don't worry. I'm just a little tired."
Lin Zijin continued to rub Shirō Makino's temples with a pained expression. "Is Master Asura difficult to defeat?"
"Very difficult." Shirō Makino used the word 'difficult', which surprised both Lin Zijin and Xiao Gu.
All this while, in their hearts, Shirō Makino was an undefeated legend.
Because they already knew the result of the battle. Shirō Makino won, and Master Asura's undefeated legend was broken.
But looking at Shirō Makino, this battle was not that simple.
"Her true strength is at the peak of Great Grandmaster," Shirō Makino said.
Xiao Gu:!!!
Lin Zijin:!!!
The two of them were stunned on the spot.
They could not believe it at all.
"How old is she? Peak of Great Grandmaster? "Xiao Gu looked at Shirō Makino, dumbfounded.
"She looks much older than us, but … who knows? We're not the only ones who know how to disguise," Shirō Makino said.
Xiao Gu suddenly thought of a question and asked Shirō Makino seriously, "No, Boss, what level are you at now?"
Xiao Gu had brought Xiao Gu and Lin Zijin to fight before. Although Xiao Gu did not ask, he was already suspicious of Shirō Makino's true strength.
Because no matter how he looked at it, Shirō Makino did not look like he was only at the advanced level.
"What's wrong?" Shirō Makino looked at Xiao Gu.
Xiao Gu was speechless. "What do you think? If you're only at the advanced level, can you defeat a Spirit Warrior at the peak of Great Grandmaster? "
"Why not? It's not like I haven't fought before," Lin Zijin said lightly.
Lin Zijin still wanted to cover for him. After all, Xiao Gu's identity was special.
Shirō Makino smiled and said, "Xiao Gu is not an outsider. It's fine to tell him. This way, he will be more confident when he becomes the emperor in the future."
Xiao Gu's face darkened. "Boss, brother, Brother Bai! Master Bai, please don't. I'm not curious anymore … "
"You speak as if you can refuse that position." Lin Zijin curled her lips.
Xiao Gu was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, if my third brother were to go, it would be the same."
"He probably thinks so as well," Shirō Makino commented.
Xiao Gu shook his head. "What he thinks is not important. What is important is what King Qi thinks."
As he spoke, he looked at Shirō Makino and said, "Boss, let's talk about your battle!"
Lin Zijin also wanted to change the topic. She rubbed Shirō Makino's head and asked, "Yes, yes, quickly tell us about the process."
"She's a Spiritual Warrior at the peak of the Great Grandmaster Realm. Her battle prowess … How should I put it? It shouldn't be hard for her to defeat a Spiritual Warrior who has just stepped into the God Realm," Shirō Makino said in a low voice.
"F * ck!" Xiao Gu could not help but curse. He looked at Shirō Makino blankly. "What do you mean by 'Spiritual Warrior'? She's good at all classes? "
Shirō Makino nodded. "Blade, spear, staff, stick, sword, halberd, hook, fork … there's nothing she doesn't know. Shield Warrior, Archer, they're nothing to her. "
"Is she a God?" Xiao Gu was dumbfounded.
"She's also good at all kinds of elemental attacks. She even used her god art in the end," Shirō Makino said.
"Protoss?" Xiao Gu and Lin Zijin said in unison.
"I don't think so. She seems to look down on Protoss," Shirō Makino said.
"Could she be the reincarnation of an ancient Almighty?" Xiao Gu's lips twitched, and he mumbled, "Otherwise, how could she be so well-rounded? In my memory, only the ancient Almighty could be so well-rounded, right? Now that the classes are so detailed, how could there still be someone as crazy as her? "
Xiao Gu raised his head to look at Shirō Makino. "But you're even crazier!"
Shirō Makino: "…"
Lin Zijin rolled her eyes at Xiao Gu. "Speak properly!"
"Don't you think so?" Xiao Gu looked at Lin Zijin helplessly.
"Of course not, big brother is the best!" Lin Zijin said proudly.
Angry?
I'm not angry anymore.
No, no, no, I'm not angry at all.
Xiao Gu said, "Fine, I feel honored and happy to eat your dog food every day. Can we talk about the battle now? "
Shirō Makino briefly explained the battle to the two.
Especially regarding Wen Jun's true battle prowess, as well as her various miraculous techniques in battle, she explained in great detail.
The two listened carefully. In the end, Xiao Gu could not help but sigh. "If only there was a recording. Boss, you really should have dragged us into such an exciting battle!"
"That's right, if we could watch it live, we would definitely learn more!" Lin Zijin also looked regretful.
Shirō Makino looked at the two and said, "You're both peerless geniuses, so you should have your own pride. It's not a big deal to improve yourself by watching other people's battles, but it's better to experience it yourself in battle!"
"You're right." Xiao Gu was a little convinced.
Sister Lin actually did not think much of it because she knew that her big brother could be a big liar at times.
"But this is good. This battle has attracted a lot of attention. If we really let you watch the battle, the two of you will not be able to fight freely," Xiao Gu said.
Shirō Makino nodded. "If we really let you watch the battle, my battle with her will be very boring."
"That's true …" Lin Zijin looked at Shirō Makino. "But we're still regretful!"
"Yes, yes, it's regretful!" Xiao Gu finally found a chance to unite.
Shirō Makino looked at the two and smiled. "Can you guarantee that Wenjun is one of us?"
Er …
The two of them were stunned.
Indeed, no one could guarantee that.
If Shirō Makino dragged all of his people into the battle and Wenjun sold them out, they would not even have a place to cry!
At that time, Long Aotian, Yu Xiuxiu, and a large group of people began to send him messages.
They were all asking about the details of Shirō Makino's battle.
But interestingly, Chae Yi, Shan Gu, and Si Yin did not send him any messages.
At that moment, the surveillance system in the villa suddenly gave them a notification — someone was approaching.
Shirō Makino glanced at it and saw Ji Chae Yi's MPV flying over slowly.
He did not send a message because he wanted to ask in person!
Soon, Chae Yi, Shan Gu, and Si Yin sat around the dining table like Xiao Gu and Lin Zijin. They enjoyed the steak cooked by Chef Goose while listening to Shirō Makino talk about the battle.
"Is there really a genius like you in this world?" Ji Chae Yi could not believe it.
Before this, everyone thought that Wenjun was just a Spiritual Warrior. No matter how strong he was, he could not be stronger than they thought.
However, after listening to Bai Muye's explanation, everyone realized that Wen Jun had already surpassed the limits of what a Spiritual Warrior should be.
He was more like a terrifying ancient cultivator!
"Brother Bai, it's such a pity that you didn't let us watch such an important battle! Alright, I know that you don't want to reveal too much, but we can wear masks! We can watch the battle with masks on, just like how Wenjun felt. In the future, everyone can prepare their masks. If there's a battle like this again, Brother Bai, don't worry and invite us! There won't be a problem! When the time comes, a bunch of masked people won't be able to recognize us. "
Shan Gu blabbered on and on.
But other than Shirō Makino, everyone's eyes lit up.
Xiao Gu said, "That's a good idea!"
"Yes, we don't need to show our faces, can't we just wear masks?" Ji Chae Yi glared at Shirō Makino. "It's such a simple thing, you just need to remind us. Why didn't you think of it?"
Shirō Makino said innocently, "You didn't think of it either?"
"It's normal that I didn't think of it, because I'm stupid!" Ji Chae Yi said angrily.
Si Yin was also angry and glared at Shirō Makino.
Lin Zijin slapped her forehead and looked at Shan Gu. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I …" Shan Gu smacked his lips. "I thought Brother Bai would think of it …"
Then everyone looked at Shirō Makino.
"Alright. In the future, prepare a mask and uniform for each of you. If there's a battle like this again, I'll definitely invite all of you!" Bai Muye was also aware of the resentment in everyone's hearts, so he readily agreed.
The result of this battle was that Shirō Makino didn't go to Black Domain again until school reopened.
According to Lin Zijin and the others, Wenjun didn't come online either.
They all ran away after causing trouble!
Now it was up to who had the patience.
In any case, whoever came online first would be criticized more.
Xiao Bai had things to do even if he didn't come online.
He could draw talismans.
The battle with Wen Jun had given him a huge improvement that was beyond his imagination!
Be it his battle strategy, awareness, or the coordination of various talismans, they were all greatly improved.
Wenjun was probably the same.
These insights needed some time to digest and settle.
March.
School reopened at No.1 High School.
Shirō Makino and the others also welcomed the second semester of their second year of high school.
If there weren't any major accidents, this would be their last half year of high school.
Also, they wouldn't stay on campus for more than a few days this semester.
Because the Empire League was about to begin!
All the early work was taken care of by the leaders of No.1 High School.
There was no need for Xiao Bai and the others to show up. The people who had led the Wanxiong Team last year were already familiar with the process.
But this year, everyone's expectations were clearly much higher than last year's.
After all, Rune Dragon was the champion team of Flying Immortal!
Even if Flying Immortal was a bit behind and couldn't compare to the other planets, everyone still had high hopes for Team Rune Dragon.
Actually, it wasn't just Hundred Blossoms. Almost all of Flying Immortal had high hopes for this team.
The number of organizations that came running over to give money and sponsor them was uncountable!
As for those that wanted to advertise on Xiao Bai's team uniform, there were even more.
But as for advertising, Xiao Bai rejected all of them through Old Yao.
Those that directly sponsored them also depended on the identity of the other party.
Of course, these jobs that belonged to the school were given to Sun Yuefeng. Brother Feng was one of them and wouldn't harm them. As for the jobs outside of school, they were given to Old Yao.
Shirō Makino's attitude was that he could accept sponsorships, because he didn't just represent himself, but the entire team.
If it was just him or him and Zi Jin, they definitely wouldn't accept those sponsorships.
But even so, Shirō Makino told Sun Yuefeng and Old Yao that they would only accept sponsorships from official and legal channels. Private sponsorships … were all rejected.
Over at No.1 High School, the Talisman Artist class started again. Everyone knew that Xiao Bai would be leaving soon, so they treasured this period of time and squeezed as much as they could!
Just like a woman whose husband was going to be away on a long term business trip.
Li Min, Moussy, and Sun Lili, after a holiday of hard work, finally caught up a little.
But their spiritual power was still their shortcoming, and they couldn't improve quickly.
They were his own disciples, and he accepted them.
Even if they weren't that outstanding, he still wanted to make them outstanding.
So Shirō Makino gave them some strange fruits that could improve their spiritual power.
These things could be bought directly by Old Yao.
Nowadays, Old Yao was already able to handle these matters with ease.
"After using these strange fruits, you should be able to enter the level of Intermediate Talisman Artist soon, and Moussy will be close to the Advanced level … Anyway, take your time to build your foundation, and don't rush to a higher level. Slowly, you will understand what it means to have a solid foundation. "
Shirō Makino gave these strange fruits to the three of them, looked at them and said, "Talent determines how high a person's starting point is, but it doesn't necessarily determine how far you end up."
"Master, don't worry, we all understand!" Li Min said with a smile.
She was getting more and more used to her identity as the eldest senior. Sure enough, it was good to act early.
Half a month passed quickly.
Finally, it was time to set off for Ziyun.
The Empire League was about to begin!
The group of Fairies sent their blessings in person or through messages. Shirō Makino and the others boarded the interstellar spaceship and began their journey.
The speed of the interstellar spaceship they were on was far slower than the starship in Shirō Makino's space ring.
The frequency of space jumps was not as high. On one hand, the spaceship's endurance was not as strong. On the other hand, it was to give the group of interstellar travelers a chance to see the bright universe.
After all, this kind of interstellar travel was a once in a lifetime experience for many people.
Traveling with them was another team that represented Fairies in the Empire League — the Immeasurable Team!
Everyone chatted happily on the spaceship. Their relationship was already very harmonious even before the finals of the Fairies.
Chen Yu, the captain of the Immeasurable Team, looked at Shirō Makino and said, "What are your expectations for the Empire League this time?"
"Champion? What else can it be?" Bai Muye glanced at him. "Aren't you guys the champion?"
"Ahem …" Chen Yu felt a little hurt, as if someone had stabbed him in the heart.
How was he supposed to answer such a question?
Say no?
Wouldn't that be too lacking in ambition?
After all, there were only 36 teams competing in the entire Empire League this year.
First would be the group stage, then the round-robin stage. Even if they lost one or two matches, they would not despair. As long as they performed well, everyone would have a chance.
It would be impossible to say that they did not have the dream of being the champion!
But dreams were dreams, and they would wake up eventually.
They were all aware of their own abilities.
Although everyone had used this holiday to improve greatly … as one of the two teams participating in the Empire League, they would definitely have a lot of resources.
But it was not realistic to say that they had the confidence to fight for the championship.
After all, Fu Long was still in front of them!
The fear of being dominated by Xiao Bai had not dissipated yet.
But because the Immeasurable Team had obtained the only opportunity to participate in the Empire League on the Flying Celestial Planet, they had received countless sponsorships.
And because the Fu Long Team had rejected all advertisements and endorsements, the Immeasurable Team had benefited.
The Immeasurable Team and the Fu Long Team were polar opposites. They did not reject anyone.
Just look at the gaudy advertisements on their bodies. If they took off their pants, it might even be on their underwear …
So when they did not lack money, they bought a lot of resources and equipment to arm and improve themselves.
Chen Yu looked at Shirō Makino resentfully and said, "I only hope that I will not be in the same group as you guys, so that I won't be eliminated in the group stage."
Shirō Makino thought of the information on the other 34 teams that Liu had sent over two days ago and looked at Chen Yu sympathetically. He did not know how much the members of the Immeasurable Team had improved during this holiday. According to the information that Liu had sent over, they were probably not too optimistic.
As for the other thirty-four teams, not a single one of them was weak.
Just by looking at their strength on paper, most of them had basically crushed the Immeasurable Team.
Not to mention, there was also Old Liu's meticulous analysis.
After seeing it, even Shan Gu and Chae Yi felt that the competition would not be easy.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they did not use Xiao Bai.
Xiao Gu did not feel much about these things.
He had never participated in a competition since he was young, so he naturally did not feel much about the various honors obtained in a competition, nor did he have much interest in them.
Thinking about it, it made sense. A person who did not even want to be the Crown Prince or the Emperor, what honor would he care about?
However, Lin Zijin had a different opinion about this.
She said to Xiao Gu, "You just need to participate in a competition and listen to the cheers after the victory. You will understand everything."
Of course, Xiao Gu still did not think much of it — would I care about other people's cheers?
The spaceship flew silently at high speed. It would stay slightly longer at those especially beautiful galaxies.
Looking at the colorful universe, everyone was a little lost in it.
"This world is so beautiful!" Lin Zijin accompanied Bai Muye as she looked into the distance at the incomparably magnificent scenery. She said softly, "I hope that one day, nothing will happen. Just like this, the two of us will pilot a starship and wander the universe. We'll wander to wherever we want."
Shirō Makino smiled and said, "Alright, when the time comes, we will modify the starship and turn it into a closed loop. That way, no matter where we wander, we can live comfortably!"
"Mm, that's great!" Lin Zijin's eyes blinked, looking forward to the future.
Seven to eight days later, at the space center of the Ancestral Dragon Imperial Star, Ziyun. Starships from various places continuously landed there.
When Shirō Makino and the others alighted from the starship, the people who had arrived earlier were already waiting outside, welcoming them at the exit.
As they walked out, a group of youths looked around curiously, feeling the differences between the Imperial Star and the Fairy Realm.
The baldy, Shan Gu, smiled and looked at the people around him, then said to Shirō Makino, "Heh, the Imperial Star is indeed different. Look at the people here, don't you think they all have the aura of the Imperial City?"
Shirō Makino, who was wearing a mask and a hat, nodded slightly. This was the first time he had been to a place like Ziyun.
Thinking about the Emperor he had met before, he felt a little emotional.
Am I … in someone else's territory?
As he thought about this, he looked at Xiao Gu, who was also wearing a hat and a mask, with his head lowered.
Xiao Gu did not even notice his gaze. His eyes, which were lowered, had a hint of sadness.
Si Yin suddenly pointed at a huge tree outside and said, "Wow, that tree is so tall!"
Shirō Makino and the others followed the sound and looked out through the glass of the corridor. There was a huge tree in the distance that was more than a thousand meters tall!
The huge tree crown was like a huge umbrella. Because they were near the space center, there were no tall buildings, so the tree stood out.
It was indeed very eye-catching.
"Heh, country bumpkin …" Suddenly, a light laugh came from beside them. Even though it was not loud, it was enough for everyone to hear.
They were not the only ones here. There were also people from other planets who needed to pass through this corridor to reach the exit.
After all, it was the Imperial Star. Everyone wanted to see it, and there were many people who could afford to go on an interstellar voyage.
Moreover, it was the competition season, so there were even more people.
Si Yin quickly lowered her head in embarrassment. Her face was red, and she looked like she had been wronged.
Shan Gu's expression turned cold. Ji Chae Yi and Lin Zijin raised their eyebrows and looked at the person who had spoken.
It was a teenager of eighteen or nineteen years old. He was dressed fashionably and had both hands in his pockets. He had a head of messy hair and was about 1.8 meters tall. He was quite handsome, but his brows were full of arrogance.
Seeing them look over, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.
There was also a group of people beside him. Among them were five or six young people who were about his age, and there were about ten people accompanying him.
They looked like students, but it was unknown if they were also here to participate in the Empire League Tournament.
Sun Yuefeng and the others instantly became nervous. They all knew the tempers of the Fu Long Battle Team. Apart from Si Yin, most of them had bad tempers.
Sun Yuefeng hurriedly gave Shirō Makino a look, indicating that he should not cause trouble in such a place.
Shirō Makino frowned and lightly patted Si Yin's head. Then he said softly, "It's fine."
That teenager suddenly said, "Fu Long Battle Team, right? A bunch of trash! "
Pa!
A crisp and resounding slap instantly landed on his face.
Following that, the teenager flew out.
With a loud bang, he hit the glass of the corridor several meters away.
That glass was quite sturdy and actually did not shatter.
But that teenager directly fell to the ground and let out a blood-curdling scream.
Lin Zijin patted the non-existent dust on her knees and rubbed her hands. She had a look of disgust. "So dirty!"
