Volume 3: Star Tower Chapter 56: Another stack of good guy cards
After Sanqing Academy defeated Qipin Academy yesterday, it was full of confidence. When they heard that Leng Zhan could not play today, they would not underestimate the enemy, but they did not think that they would lose to Yisu Academy in the absence of Leng Zhan.
But in fact, not only did they lose, but they lost very easily.
After Yisu Academy defeated Sanqing Academy, Tang Zheng disappeared again...
The others had already gotten used to Tang Zheng's disappearance after every fight, so they all went back and ignored him.
Tang Zheng went to the arena at Bailu Academy again.
The Bailu Academy was still surrounded by crowds. After all, whether it was Li Qingming, Shangguan Su or Chang Qing, they all had a very high reputation among the young people. The academy they founded made an exception and entered the academy martial arts competition. They also won great success along the way, and their reputation soared.
However, it was not them that Tang Zheng wanted to see.
He hasn't seen Thirteen for a long time since they parted in Wulong Town.
As far as he knew, Thirteen could not leave the cold pond for too long, otherwise, the chaotic, strong, and almost unreasonable solar power in his body would turn him directly into ashes without the need for cremation.
When Tang Zheng came here today, the opponents of Bailu Academy, the people from Qide Academy, had not arrived yet.
Tang Zhenghao squeezed through the crowd with great difficulty and saw five people who were already ready on the ring.
The one standing in the middle of the ring, slowly wiping the sword in his hand, should be Li Qingming...
However, what Tang Zheng paid more attention to was not his sword, but the cloth he used to wipe the sword.
Only by looking carefully can one recognize that the gray-looking object is actually Li Qingming's constellation!
A rag?
Tang Zheng was really speechless.
It turns out that there are indeed constellations in this world that are stranger than a bowl of instant noodles.
"Why didn't anyone tell me before that this former No. 1 two-star player who could easily defeat the Cold War, actually had a rag as his astrology?" Tang Zheng frowned and muttered to himself.
Li Qingming's constellation was getting bigger and smaller, appearing and disappearing from time to time. The sword in his hand was also getting brighter and brighter under the "wiping" of his constellation.
Tang Zheng didn’t know the purpose of this rag for the time being, so he could only turn his attention to other people.
Shangguan Su held a pair of spears in her hand, which were exactly the same as the constellations behind her.
Her constellation and the two thorns in her hands kept circling around her, just as smoothly as the dagger in Tang Zheng's hand flew on his wrist.
Although her constellation is a relatively common weapon-related constellation, but considering her background as one of the heirs almost from birth, she is expected to get a lot of resources. Not only is this pair of double spears tailor-made for her, the corresponding secret martial arts must be strong as well.
Tang Zheng's gaze quickly turned to the third person...
When that "Chang Qing" turned around, he suddenly felt a little out of place.
Tang Zheng had seen people from Yingshan before, including Azhi and Ghost Grandpa, but Chang Qing felt a little different from them.
Chang Qing is at least 1.80 meters tall and his appearance can even be called handsome. The silver dagger in his hand is also very eye-catching.
Tang Zheng always felt that as a killer of Yingshan, his figure, appearance and attire were a little too much.
If a person like this appeared at a banquet, he would definitely be one of the first people to be noticed.
But when there is too much attention, it becomes difficult to do some small actions.
However, Tang Zheng immediately remembered that the assassination culture in this world was still in a very simple and crude era, with fewer small moves and absolute strength being more valued.
Tang Zheng looked at these three young people with high reputations one by one.
Then, his gaze fell on a small figure behind them.
When he saw Thirteen for the first time, he was still a little uncertain, because the demonic fire rising behind him was no longer the two demonic fires he saw when he first met him... but only one demonic fire.
However, this evil fire is no longer the same evil fire.
The demon fire in the past was very pure demon fire, but the demon fire behind him now exists in the form of his constellation, because, above that demon fire, there are three golden, blazing stars!
"He's reached three stars!" Tang Zheng's smile deepened. He knew Thirteen's real age. If he could break through to three stars at his age, he would probably be able to surpass many of the princes carefully trained by aristocratic families.
The appearance of that demonic fire on the arena of the academy's martial arts competition seemed a little strange.
However, that was his constellation, not the real demonic fire.
How each person's horoscope is generated, no one knows, except that there are certain rules of inheritance. Naturally, we cannot reject a person just because his horoscope is evil fire.
After Tang Zheng looked at everyone, he noticed Fang Junji's gaze, which was accurately directed in his direction.
"Hi." Tang Zheng saw that everyone was looking at him, so he waved and greeted them.
Unexpectedly, his wave of the hand happened to allow Thirteen to see him.
Thirteen's face instantly flashed with a rich expression that had never been seen when Tang Zheng was in the mountains. He pointed at Tang Zheng in an excited voice and said, "Good man! Good man!"
Tang Zheng almost fell out of the audience when he heard this.
We haven't seen each other for such a long time, and as soon as we met, you gave me a stack of nice guy cards. Do you think you should be so "generous"?
Fang Junji was stunned for a moment, pointed at Tang Zheng, and seemed to ask Thirteen something in a low voice.
However, he didn't have much time to ask, because their opponents had already stepped onto the ring.
Fang Junji gestured to Tang Zheng to say goodbye, and then gestured to the referee to get ready...
On the ring, the star power suddenly moved!
For a moment, the stars were shining and the sword energy was everywhere.
The first to launch an attack was the main attacker of Qi De Academy, a girl with a pink tasseled sword. Her figure was very fast, and she and the sword were almost one. She had already attacked almost as soon as the referee dropped the flag.
However, the next moment, the starlight that lit up her body was the starlight of vital protection...
Fatal! Leave!
Even with Tang Zheng's eyesight, he couldn't see clearly what Li Qingming did.
After responding to the girl's attack, Li Qingming's sword shook again. This time it was his turn to attack. Together with Shangguan Su, they rushed into the group of four opponents.
Two against four, hitting faster and faster.
Last year, Qide Academy was among the academies competing against the North and South, so it is not a very weak academy.
They attacked and defended, and fought with Li Qingming and the others for a long time. In the midst of the violent attacks, they managed to find their own attack points...
However, just as they were about to launch a counterattack, they saw another starlight protecting a vital point light up.
Unknowingly, their two-versus-four battlefield had moved across half of the arena. Chang Qing stood there without moving and took away one person.
The audience almost laughed at the scene where the knife fell so easily.
However, no one laughed.
It was because Chang Qing's knife strike was so smooth that no one could laugh.
After Chang Qing's sword fell, he immediately joined the battle...
Three against three, Qide Academy no longer had any chance of winning.
Tang Zheng just felt that his mind was in a daze for a moment, and he couldn't even remember how the battlefield slowly moved during the battle. The whole process seemed to be a natural process, and he was stabbed by Chang Qing like this.
"Could it be..." Tang Zheng's eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of Fang Junji.
It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but when he did, Tang Zheng discovered that Fang Junji had actually been talking to Shisan.
The scene was too noisy and Fang Junji's voice was not loud, so he couldn't hear what the two people were saying. He could only barely make out a few common phrases such as "look", "I'll tell you", "this is how you have to fight", and "do you understand" from the movement of Fang Junji's lips.
But the information revealed from these common phrases was shocking enough - Fang Junji and Shisan had no intention of participating in the battle, they were actually in class!
Fang Junji is explaining to Shisan how a team should collaborate in battle!
Tang Zheng asked himself that if Thirteen was in his team, he would also let Thirteen watch a few games first, because Thirteen was used to fighting alone in the mountains and forests, and it might be a little difficult for him to accept team combat for a while.
However, watching the game also means watching it from the audience, right?
There is no such thing as just pulling them onto the stage, watching their teammates fight, and then teaching them leisurely...
Tang Zheng didn't look at Fang Junji and Shisan for long, and immediately turned his gaze back to Shangguan Su.
He couldn't understand Li Qingming's horoscope, and Chang Qing never revealed his horoscope. He could only judge from Shangguan Su what kind of weirdos the people in Bailu Academy were!
Shangguan Su's two sets of double stabs are both offensive and defensive, running smoothly, and his martial arts skills are endless...
Tang Zheng had seen Meng Fenghua invoking the Queen Mother of the West, but he was completely unable to do so skillfully and fluently.
Two sets of double spears, a total of four weapons. If someone else came, he would probably be in a mess and fighting before the others attacked. However, the two sets of double spears in Shangguan Su's hands were so smooth and real, making it impossible for people to attack or defend!
The battle at Bailu Academy did not last long.
It probably took about the same amount of time for Yisu Academy to defeat Sanqing Academy.
However, Tang Zheng did not forget that the opponent had always been outnumbered by three against five.
"Three strong players and two who won easily... they really know how to play." Tang Zheng touched his nose.
Below the audience seats, the two academies said a few words to each other and then left the stage. The audience immediately swarmed to the railings, loudly shouting Li Qingming and the others' names. Tang Zheng was not paying attention and was squeezed out by the enthusiastic crowd .
He smiled and came down from the audience seats, just in time to see Fang Junji and the others coming out from the side door.
"Are you an old acquaintance of Xiao Shisan?" Fang Junji had Chang Qing's hand on his shoulder. Li Qingming, Shangguan Su and Shisan were also very close to him. However, what Tang Zheng saw in him seemed to be that deep loneliness.
It was a very strange feeling, and Tang Zheng himself couldn't explain it clearly.
"Do you two know each other?" Thirteen looked at Fang Junji, then at Tang Zheng.
"I got lost a few days ago and had to ask him to show me the way." Tang Zheng's eyes widened again when he heard that Thirteen could actually say seven words and form a complete sentence.
But Thirteen immediately frowned, turned back, and looked at Tang Zheng with a confused look on his face: "No! Good man, don't get lost."
Li Qingming and Shangguan Su looked at each other, both of them had a deep ...
What does it mean that good people never get lost? Character and sense of direction seem to have nothing to do with each other!
