Chapter 686: Chapter 686_1

The strongest warriors from Jiangbei Dragon Soul were Jiang Ling, who held the fourth rank of a Grandmaster and was seed number two, and Wei Kun, who was at the peak of the third-grade. Both of them had previously tried their hands in the Jiangdong Dragon Soul but failed beneath Su Chengyu’s might.

In the first round, Shen Zhuoyan did not send his strongest player Jiang Ling forward, but instead sent out the third seed. This seed was a second-grade Grandmaster. On Jiangdong’s side, Qin Siyuan also sent out his other prized student, Jian Zhihao.

Jian Zhihao was previously the second seed of Jiangdong, second only to the first seed, Qiu Ji. Originally, his level was the same as the person on the Jiangbei side, both being second-grade Grandmasters.

Before participating in the competition, Qin Siyuan made a trade deal with Su Chengyu. He used various medicinal materials he had collected over the years to exchange for some elixirs from Su Chengyu. These elixirs helped those participating in the competition enhance their realm levels.

Qiu Ji elevated from a third-grade Grandmaster to fifth-grade level while Jian Zhihao was promoted from second-grade to the peak of fourth grade. As the daughter of Qin Siyuan, Qin Muge was a talented individual. Her realm was elevated to the peak of the third-grade. Thus, important figures raised two grades, while others also managed to raise by one grade.

For this Dragon Soul conference, Qin Siyuan spent a large amount of money, giving all the precious medicinal materials he had collected over many years to Su Chengyu to increase the strength of Jiangdong Dragon Soul.

As expected, the Jiangbei Dragon Soul lost miserably. After Jian Zhihao defeated two people, Shen Zhuoyan could not bear it and sent Jiang Ling into the field. Qin Siyuan immediately switched players, and Su Chengyu took the stage.

Su Chengyu secured four wins, adding to the two points Jian Zhihao scored, which led Jiangdong Dragon Soul to a head start with six points. According to the rules of the Dragon Soul conference, Jiangdong Dragon Soul won. Thus the people in Jiangbei Dragon Soul, who had not yet gone on the arena, even lost their opportunity to compete.

Watching as Qin Siyuan achieved victory with only two players, Shen Zhuoyan rose with a gloomy face, stormed off in anger. He knew that this time Jiangbei would end in the last place again.

After the match ended, they could go to the other two martial arts fields to watch the battles. The second round of the competition will be held the next day. Needless to say, Su Chengyu had no interest in watching the competition and directly returned to his residence.

Qin Muge followed him back. Su Chengyu thought for a moment, then said, "Mu Ge, come to my room for a moment."

Qin Muge, feeling a bit hesitant and shy, followed Su Chengyu into the room, standing somewhat restrained off to the side. With pursed lips, she asked, "Brother Su Cheng, is there something you need?"

"Your father made a trade with me some time ago. He took some elixirs from me to enhance your powers, but those elixirs were not the best ones. There are still games tomorrow, so let me give you one last push to power you up."

Su Chengyu took out a top-grade Heavenly Pill and gave it to Qin Muge. This elixir’s medicinal power was purer and more profound than the superior-grade Heavenly Pill that Qin Siyuan had exchanged. Su Chengyu wanted to help Qin Muge step into the realm of the fourth-grade Grandmaster.

"Thank you, brother Su Cheng."

Qin Muge understood the value of this elixir. She was very grateful that Su Chengyu gave it to her for free.

"Take the elixir. I will use my mana to help you absorb the medicinal power of the elixir."

Qin Muge immediately sat cross-legged and swallowed the Heavenly Pill. Su Chengyu then poured a burst of mana into her body, aiding Qin Muge in absorbing the medicinal power of the Heavenly Pill.

With Su Chengyu’s help, Qin Muge steadily moved into the realm of the fourth-grade Grandmaster. At her age of just over twenty, entering the realm of the fourth-grade Grandmaster placed her in high standing among her peers.

Qin Muge felt the vigorous mana within her own body, so grateful that her words failed her. Su Chengyu then said, "There is still time. I’ll teach you a mid-tier earth-level martial art called the Mixed-Yuan One-Yang Finger."

"Brother Su Cheng, why are you suddenly being so nice to me? Gifting me elixirs and teaching me martial arts. It’s overwhelming," Qin Muge said cheerfully.

Su Chengyu pondered for a while before saying, "Mu Ge, I understand your feelings for me. But I am not a good man. I owe a lot of emotional debts. I view you as a friend, sincerely hoping you can find a well-suited lover."

If it were not for the incidents with Xu Nanzhi and Lin Chuxue, old romantic Su Chengyu would have long accepted Qin Muge.

After all, Qin Muge herself was a stunning beauty, perfectly suited to join his harem.

But these two incidents greatly impacted Su Chengyu, changing his emotional perspective and making him less permissive in love. For Qin Muge, he could only make his stance clear and end her lingering feelings for him.

Hearing this, Qin Muge’s eyes darkened, her face becoming white as a sheet. She had come prepared for the worst. After all, Su Chengyu’s attitude towards her had always been distant.

"It’s my freedom to like someone. Brother Su Cheng, you don’t owe me anything, nor do you need to feel any guilt towards me. Liking you is something I did willingly." Qin Muge lowered her head, struggling to hold back her tears, but they still slipped down her cheeks.

Su Chengyu wanted to pat Qin Muge for comfort but hesitated, ultimately decided not to, standing by without saying a word. After crying for a while, Qin Muge’s emotions gradually settled. Wiping her tears, she said, "Brother Su Cheng, you can teach me martial arts now."

The Mixed-Yuan One-Yang Finger was a mid-tier Earth Rank martial art, which was quite difficult to learn. Even though Qin Muge was quite talented and had Su Chengyu’s guidance, she could not master it in one day. But now that Su Chengyu had taught her the entirety of Mixed-Yuan One-Yang Finger, she just needed to practice diligently. She believed that she would grasp the essence of it within a year or so.

"It’s getting late. You’ve also worked hard today, so rest early," Su Chengyu said.

Before leaving, Qin Muge bit her lip and asked, "Brother Su Cheng, can you hug me?"

Su Chengyu smiled faintly. He walked over, opened his arms, and held Qin Muge in his arms. Qin Muge was snuggled tightly in Su Chengyu’s arms, her eyes shedding clear tears.

The results of the first day of the competition were expected. Feng Yang, Danyang, and Jiangdong made it into the winners’ group. According to the judge’s scoring, the rankings of the winners’ group were also similar. The loser’s group comprised of Jiangnan, Jianghuai, and Jiangbei, who were placed in the last position.

The competition for both winners and losers would proceed on the same day tomorrow. Danyang would face off against Jiangdong, and Jianghuai would face off against Jiangbei. The winner of the winner’s group would compete in the next round against Feng Yang’s Dragon Soul Department, and the winner of the loser’s group would compete against Jiangnan’s Dragon Soul Department.

Based on the experience from previous years, once the first day’s competition is over, the final rankings usually remain the same - Feng Yang will undoubtedly be ahead of other departments, occupying the first position with Danyang at second. The biggest variable is the ranking between Jiangnan Dragon Soul and Jiangdong Dragon Soul. It is possible that Jiangnan could recover from the loser’s group and surpass Jiangdong in the ranking.

The outcome would be clear tomorrow. After dinner, Qin Siyuan convened a meeting again. The chances of victory against Danyang Dragon Soul were not high, but if the strategies were well executed, victory wasn’t impossible. After all, Su Chengyu could secure four points on his own. As long as the others could score two points, or even just one, Jiangdong would be in the winning position.

Qin Siyuan knew their chances of success were slim, but he still refused to give up. The difference between second and third place is just one position, but the difference in rewards is significant. Qin Siyuan also knew that this was his best opportunity. He intended to do everything in his power to land Jiangdong the best rank possible.
