The next time they went on was as usual. When the sun rose, the three of them got up at the same time and started practicing for the day. They practiced martial arts together in the afternoon. Ike wanted to try to break through the Qi Gathering Master in the remaining half a month.
Try it.
The content of the evening was more colorful than before. In addition to making Lina blush every time, Fia would occasionally do things with Ike that Lina would not dare to look at directly. If it were not for the fear of giving birth to a little Ike
, maybe my sister will be even more extreme.
Time passed quickly, but even though Ike had improved physically and mentally, it was a little more difficult to be directly promoted to Qi Gathering Master in half a month.
What's even more important is that this time the opponent is the Island Empire. They were third in the previous competition and were defeated by the Odin Kingdom. I heard that they spent a huge price to obtain a divine book from the World Warrior Union in a private transaction.
Skills.
From the perspective of the competition so far, they have not used this magical skill. The purpose is clear, and it is to deal with opponents like Odin. With two days left before the competition, the three of them sat down to discuss countermeasures.
"Alas! The top eight competition will start the day after tomorrow. It seems that I have no chance to be promoted to Qi Gathering Master." Ike said helplessly, "I haven't even felt it yet."
"Don't talk about it, there are only three of us now, and it's the quarter-finals now. It's impossible to have a one-on-one situation again, and besides, it would be dangerous if we draw lots that we don't know how to do." Fei said.
Ya complained.
Lina was still very calm at this time and asked Ike: "Last time Stone said he would help us find two substitutes, why haven't they come yet?"
Ike said in embarrassment: "I have gone to the Imperial Palace to verify, and indeed a letter has been sent. The Imperial Palace has also confirmed and allowed us to use these two substitutes, but we have to wait until they come. The Imperial Palace does not
To accept any information from them, they must report in person."
"Where is that person?" Fia asked anxiously.
"I miraculously took the wrong path and ran to the Akil Plains!" Ike couldn't help but want to curse. With his IQ, could he be used as cannon fodder?
The three people looked at each other and it seemed that the problem was serious.
Feiya said angrily: "How could Odin Kingdom have the nerve to send such a crazy person here! Substitute! He really did a good job! I don't care, I will fight for my life to stay in Jibuji the day after tomorrow! I have begun to like it.
Let’s live life here!”
Lina also frowned and said: "Then let's fight with the Island Empire! Anyway, the time has not come yet, and I don't want to go back to Odin!"
Even Lina has this attitude, not to mention Ike. The only thing he can do now is to spy on information. He has asked Tucker to investigate the situation a few days ago, and he should be able to find out some information now.
"Then you two continue to practice at home. By the way, you can review the two new martial arts skills. I'll go and see how you're going to fight the day after tomorrow. Tucker should prepare detailed information for us. I'll go get it. We'll talk about it when we come back in the evening.
Let's discuss the countermeasures carefully. As for the two substitutes...just pretend they don't exist." Ike said helplessly.
Lina and Fia had to face the reality. Speaking of the promising young people in Odin, they all caught up with the previous year and shined in Jibuji and got second place. Now Jibuji is temporarily holding a new one
The deadline was already advanced, so the newcomers in Odin Kingdom had not yet thrived.
But this does not mean that other empires will give way to the Odin Kingdom. It still needs to participate how it wants to participate. Only then did "talents" like Achuriki and Qiuri Zaft participate. But then again, they
He is already the best young man that the Kingdom of Odin can offer.
What can be replaced by replacing the substitutes? Those two must have been pushed to the shelves, so Ike is not very looking forward to the joining of those two people. Therefore, he must take precautions and let Tucker use the entire mercenary group.
Spying information for him.
At noon, Tucker's mercenary group was very lively. A group of grown men were joking with Xiaocao. Xiaocao blushed and asked these people not to laugh at her anymore.
"Oh! I will definitely find someone I love in the future, but not now! When I want to find someone, I will definitely give you a chance." Xiaocao said to those who made fun of her.
"Everyone heard it. Miss Xiaocao said that if she wants to get married, we all have a chance."
"Alas! It's a pity that I'm already married, otherwise I would have had a chance!"
"Fuck you! Be careful, my sister-in-law will destroy you!"
A group of people were talking to each other, and Xiaocao froze when he saw Ike coming. Ike had discovered very early that Xiaocao was no longer interested in him, but rather confused.
, this entanglement caused her to feel uneasy every time she saw Ike.
"Ike! I've got the information you need!" Tucker said to Ike excitedly, "But this is only their basic information. As for what other powerful magical skills they hide, we are powerless.
This time, Xiaocao has wasted a lot of effort in spying on intelligence."
"Ah? I'm just doing what a friend should do." Xiaocao said quickly, her heartbeat starting to speed up.
She was prepared to say that she was not shy, but that she didn't know how to face Ike. Especially after knowing Ike's identity, she became even more entangled.
"Thank you!" Ike said to Xiaocao.
"No...it's not necessary! It's really not necessary!" Xiaocao became nervous, "I do this purely because you are...you are..."
Ike looked at her with a red face and was speechless, and asked: "What am I?"
"I..." Xiaocao suddenly took Ike's hand and led him out of the mercenary group.
A group of people seemed to understand something, but when they saw Tucker's face, they felt that the matter was not ambiguous, and it was probably something unexpected.
Xiaocao grabbed Ike and ran all the way, and stopped under a dead tree in the southern suburbs, breathing heavily. At this moment, her heartbeat was very chaotic, but since she almost lost Ike, she stopped.
After suffering, she decided to tell Ike about this matter, otherwise she would have trouble sleeping and eating.
Ike looked at Fia seriously and said: "I think you didn't bring me here to accompany you to see the scenery, or to listen to you tell some interesting things about you."
"What I say next is not interesting at all, but you must believe me, I mean it sincerely." Xiaocao said excitedly.
"Say it! Of course I know you are sincere." Ike also became serious.
"Actually, my real name...my real name is not Xiaocao, but...but..." Xiaocao's eyes were already filled with tears before he finished speaking.
"But what?" Ike asked.
"My name is Qingfang!" Xiaocao shouted loudly, "Saigon Kingdom! Princess Qingfang!"
