Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Gift, Dark Fire Heavenly Origin

Zhu Rong burst out laughing, his mouth agape, "What do you call a spar between masters, stopping at a touch? This is it!"

"No dragging on, a quick succession of moves, either I lose or you lose, fast to come and fast to go, that’s stopping at a touch."

"Enough talk, hurry up and hand over the Dark Fire Heavenly Origin!"

Zhu Rong gestured with his hand for him to make it quick.

Xiao Zhan’s performance had indeed surprised him, but it was a pleasant surprise, and he was feeling quite pleased with himself.

Zhao Jiwu couldn’t stand his anxious demeanor, it was just one win, no need to show off so much.

But he wasn’t a sore loser and tossed a box over to him.

"Don’t be smug, that thing won’t do you any good, dare to absorb it and you’ll just end up possessed."

"Hmph, who said I’m going to absorb it? Can’t I just keep it to look at?"

Zhu Rong looked disdainful. Did he really want the Dark Fire Heavenly Origin?

No, what he wanted was Zhao Jiwu’s miserably green face!

As long as Zhao Jiwu was unhappy, he was happy.

With the referee’s announcement, the results of the competition were finally settled.

After hearing that Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong had won, many people still couldn’t believe it was true.

A first-year newcomer, becoming the top of the entire academy?

Hell, if you say that out loud, others won’t think highly of White Emperor Spirit Academy, they will think there’s no strong contender in your academy!

Below the stage, Huang Fei’s face was extremely embarrassed, dark glows constantly shifting in his eyes.

Not until Xiao Zhan’s figure disappeared from his sight did he pause sharply, then his expression calmed down abruptly.

Then he walked outside.

His calm figure, however, looked somewhat dangerous.

Jiang Xian’er lowered her head and let the curtain fall, glanced at Xiao Zhan with a myriad of emotions, and eventually disappeared in the crowd following Huang Fei.

Elsewhere.

Zhao Long clenched his teeth in anger, then grabbed a girl’s hand next to him and hurried outside.

"What are you doing~" The girl’s hand hurt a bit.

Zhao Long said, "We’ve signed the Life and Death Contract, isn’t it time to take the final step now?"

At these words, the girl’s face instantly blushed.

But then, she suddenly darted forward, ran in front of Zhao Long, took his hand, and sprinted towards the dormitory.

"What are we waiting for then, hurry up, I thought you were clueless."

Zhao Long: "..."

He suddenly regretted signing the Life and Death Contract with this girl, what was going on?

...

Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong stepped down from the platform.

The competition was over, and they could go back, many students were also starting to disperse.

They were ready to rest and then enter the Secret Realm tomorrow to begin scavenging for Spirit Fruits.

Still, half of the Spirit Fruits remained, and although the effects weren’t particularly significant for them, they were great for a snack.

Just as they were about to leave.

At this moment, Zhu Rong called the two of them to the leadership group.

Xiao Zhan was puzzled.

The competition had no prizes and didn’t require a certificate, why call them over, could it be to deliver some award speech?

Exchange cultivation experiences?

Just as he approached.

Zhu Rong’s hearty laughter immediately rang out, "Come, come, come, let’s see the true faces of the strongest in the academy. Tsk tsk tsk, such a young, handsome and beautiful pair, with so many young and handsome in the academy, how did you two stand out?"

A rhetorical question, but his eyes and tone were emphatic.

Very normal compliments, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong didn’t see any problems.

But as the principal, Jiang Wenfu, and the vice-principal, Wang Qian, immediately sensed something off.

Subconsciously glanced over at Zhao Jiwu with the corner of their eyes.

The word "handsome" has always been Zhao Jiwu’s self-claimed tag.

Clearly, the sarcasm had begun.

Sure enough, Zhu Rong continued, "You two youngsters performed very well this time, much bolder than in last year’s final competition of the freshmen."

"Last year, you guys were too dilly-dally, although talented, you lacked ferocity and confidence, and you were almost overtaken. Especially that second place, who was it, I can’t quite remember, but it was definitely dangerous."

"But a year later, your strength has greatly increased, and there’s been a transformative change in both your combat experience and personality—striking with lethal hits that leave people astounded."

"If you were in the mental state you are in now, disregarding strength, and went back to a year ago, it would definitely be another overwhelming dominance. Even the combined efforts of the second and tenth place wouldn’t be a match for you two."

The words were sincere, an elder’s praise and guidance to the younger.

A very normal scene.

But Xiao Zhan felt something oddly eerie.

Because he noticed that Zhu Rong stressed the words ’last year’ and ’second place’ during his speech.

And while speaking, his gaze wasn’t directly on him, but occasionally drifted towards Zhao Jiwu adjacent to him.

As if he was just a stand-in.

And plus, where the heck did this ’tenth place’ come from? Apart from the second place being definite, there were no other rankings.

Complete nonsense.

Xiao Zhan was baffled; aside from the content, this didn’t seem like praise at all.

It rather seemed like a compliment wrapped in indirect criticism.

Having had few interactions with the principals, he was unaware of their relationships.

He couldn’t tell, but the three other principals had already figured it out.

This was Zhu Rong using praise for Xiao Zhan as a veiled way to hit at Zhao Jiwu.

Meaning, ’Look at Xiao Zhan, and then look at your son, Zhao Long. Initially, it was just a difference between first and second, now why is it a difference between second and third?’

First and second are rankings, second and third are realms!

Jiang Wenfu instantly showed an expression of speechlessness; these two clowns, skirmishing privately is one thing, but now in front of the students, really not afraid of losing face.

Zhao Jiwu’s complexion worsened upon hearing this; of course, he could discern the implication in Zhu Rong’s words.

But he had nothing to retort, as what Zhu Rong said was true, albeit a bit exaggerated.

Sometimes, the disparity between people must be acknowledged.

Zhao Jiwu’s sullen face fell upon Zhu Rong’s radiant eyes.

His smile grew even happier.

In a great mood, he instantly took out a box and handed it to Xiao Zhan, "Here, considering your excellent performance, this is a gift I specially prepared for you two!"

A gift?

Zhu Rong actually prepared a gift?

Everyone was surprised, but upon seeing it, their expressions changed.

Isn’t this the Dark Fire Heavenly Origin that Zhao Jiwu just lost to him?

Goodness.

Using a gift as a move, quite skillful indeed.

But, aren’t you being a bit too generous?

"Another gift?"

Xiao Zhan was also stunned, a prize would’ve been appropriate.

"It’s a personal gift, specially prepared for you," Zhu Rong emphasized, but the corners of his mouth curved, pointedly towards Zhao Jiwu’s direction.

Zhao Jiwu’s face turned green with panic, almost grinding his molars to dust.

Damn it, Zhu Rong, you take my stuff and tout it as a gift you prepared!

You cheeky bastard, asking for a dowry for your daughter like that!
