Chapter 1694: Chapter 697: Enacting the Dao
"Xu Jin, could I discuss something with you?
Could you perhaps hold back a bit in the upcoming fierce battle between you and my Su Family’s Su Xuan?
In the selection, you’ve been the first in two rounds, which by the rules, allows you to enhance your Tao child treatment by three classes at most.
So, even if you take the third-class or even the fourth-class Tao child treatment, you still enjoy the highest first-class Tao child treatment.
But my Su Xuan is somewhat underwhelming.
He needs to secure second place, and with the bonus reward for being in the top ten in the second round of the Tao child selection, he might have a chance at enjoying first-class Tao child treatment.
But as things stand, getting third place might be the best he can do.
Yet, first-class Tao child treatment is critically important.
The enlightenment opportunities in the Emperor’s Dao Secret Realm, and the enlightenment times with the True Monarch Blood Crystal, even I, as the Holder of this Star Realm, cannot privately distribute them.
Therefore, I have no choice but to shamelessly ask you for this favor.
Of course, it doesn’t harm your actual reward, but your reputation, your mindset, will undoubtedly be affected.
But I ask you to do this favor for my sake.
In the future, if you have any doubts in your practice, feel free to come to me.
Afterward, I will give you a keepsake of mine; in a moment of crisis, as long as it doesn’t involve the Emperor, I can help you once with all my might."
In Xu Jin’s mind, True Monarch Tianzhang’s voice echoed unhurriedly, laying out the request without pressure.
But Xu Jin understood, this was yet another form of negotiation.
The terms of the transaction were called: the friendship of True Monarch Tianzhang!
Although True Monarch Tianzhang didn’t mention any consequences of Xu Jin’s refusal,
anyone with sense would understand the implications of refusal.
Never mind agreeing to Tianzhang’s request incurring no loss, even if there was a loss, as long as it was within an acceptable range, it had to be accepted.
To put it into perspective, in Xu Jin’s previous life, True Monarch Tianzhang’s status was equivalent to: Empire’s Parliament Speaker + Tycoon Leader + Principal + Class Teacher + Doctoral Supervisor + Underworld Leader.
Pretty much, Xu Jin’s future and life lay in his hands.
Reason aside, the way the request was put forward made Xu Jin feel very comfortable.
This agreement had to be accepted!
"Ah, the heart of parents is pitiful! The True Monarch is making painstaking efforts for his descendants. The younger generation is in awe!
Rest assured, True Monarch, I understand what to do."
Xu Jin didn’t know where True Monarch Tianzhang was, and couldn’t use sound transmission, so he had to use the Dongxuan Order to send a Starlight Transmission.
In the void, seeing the Starlight Transmission from Xu Jin, True Monarch Tianzhang suddenly felt warm at heart, experiencing a brief moment of being understood for his troubles.
For the Su family, for his descendants, he was truly worried to death.
Even so, he hadn’t told Su Xuan about this matter in advance.
For a moment, his gaze towards Xu Jin changed slightly.
"Ah, if only my boy was as sensible as you." True Monarch Tianzhang sighed.
Of course, Xu Jin would not, nor could he respond to that. This matter was simply settled like that.
Two moments later, the ranking battle resumed.
"Third match, Su Xuan versus Xu Jin."
As soon as Mars Star Monarch’s words echoed, Xu Jin felt a palpable gaze from the clouds upon him.
Xu Jin understood, this was the attention of True Monarch Tianzhang, and a reminder.
Truly, no matter how nicely things were said, actions mattered more.
The next moment, Xu Jin stepped onto the void platform, with Su Xuan already standing opposite him.
Once again, eyes from all directions converged, with Yuan Chengfa’s gaze particularly intense on the platform.
His target was first place.
Irrespective of treatment, he simply wanted first place.
Su Xuan had already been defeated, Lu Zhen was by no means his rival, only Xu Jin posed a threat to his first-place position.
He was well aware of the other opponents, such as Su Xuan.
Yet Xu Jin was a mystery to him.
He believed that Xu Jin’s battle against Su Xuan would undoubtedly reveal a substantial part of his strength, giving him a chance to understand Xu Jin better.
"Su Xuan!"
"Xu Jin!"
As the Life Replacement Token’s starlight fell, their war commenced.
Su Xuan immediately engaged with full force.
The illusory Golden Crow appeared, a torrent of scarlet flames rushing forward.
Xu Jin vanished instantly on the spot.
The next moment, a massive green tree illusion emerged, causing the void to quake violently—Su Xuan temporarily sealed the void.
Meanwhile, Xu Jin followed his strategy to hold back.
Holding back was an art.
If it was too obvious, it would provoke public criticism and be unseemly.
But for Xu Jin, to conceal his restraint was as if nothing changed.
By not activating the Origin Stars of the Candou Platform was enough.
Use any other Star Skills to the fullest.
In this scenario, Xu Jin and Su Xuan engaged in a deadly, thrilling exchange.
Nihility, Space Flash Ice Trace, Star Fragmentation, Space Movement, Thunder Prison, Nine Heavens Thunder God Seal, Xu Jin employed every means, causing Su Xuan some threat, but Su Xuan managed to resolve it.
The more they fought, the more confident Su Xuan became, with his lethal moves increasingly fierce!
As the Lifebound Spiritual Treasure Golden Crow Fan manifested, roaring heavenly fires ignited everywhere, shaking the void platform, rendering Xu Jin’s Space Shifting Star Skill ineffective.
But in the next instant, the heavenly fire before Xu Jin vanished into nothingness.
For Xu Jin had applied the Nihility Star Skill defensively.
At the same moment, Su Xuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and instantly, a green starlight blossomed beneath Xu Jin’s feet, as thousands of tendrils reached toward him like tentacles.
