Chapter 145 Shen's Night Chapter
Shen Rou lay on the ground, her heart filled with resentment and loss.
Shen Yun hurriedly ran forward and helped Shen Rou up, his eyes full of concern and heartache.
Shen Yun said softly: "Second sister, you have tried very hard, don't be too sad. Victory and defeat are common in the military, and this failure does not mean anything. You have to believe in your own strength, we all know how good you are."
He patted Shen Rou's shoulder gently and continued, "You are the pride of our family. No matter what happens, we will always support you. Don't lose heart, you will definitely be able to stand up again and become stronger."
Shen Rou listened to Shen Yun's words of comfort, and her originally dim eyes gradually brightened up. She raised her head slightly and looked at Shen Yun, tears welling up in her eyes.
She bit her lip and said with a choked voice: "Brother Yun, I disappoint you. I really don't want to accept this..."
Shen Rou lowered her head and fell into a brief silence. After a while, she took a deep breath and said slowly: "But you are right, I can't be defeated like this, I have to cheer up and become stronger!"
"This is the second sister I know."
The first day of the competition ended just like that. The crowd gradually dispersed, and the field returned to calm, leaving only a mess to witness the fierce battle. The originally noisy arena was now only silent and deserted.
As night falls, the stars in the sky twinkle, as if telling countless stories. The stars sprinkled on the earth, giving people a sense of tranquility and mystery.
The atmosphere in the meeting room of the Shen Mansion seemed a bit solemn. Shen Jingyuan sat in the main seat at the top, his face was serious and solemn, revealing an aura of majesty without anger. Below him, Shen Rou, Shen Yun, and Shen Fengxiang stood respectfully, waiting for Shen Jingyuan to speak.
"Father, I'm sorry to disappoint you." Shen Rou lowered her head, with a hint of guilt and self-blame in her voice. Her face was also a little tired and lost, and it was obvious that this failure had dealt a heavy blow to her.
"Rou'er, don't be like this. A temporary victory or defeat doesn't determine anything. In most cases, the combat power of monsters is stronger than that of cultivators of the same level. Besides, there is Zhao Fantian to assist in the play. It's already very good that you can fight with them for so long before being defeated." Shen Jingyuan said with a smile. His eyes were full of love and encouragement, which made Shen Rou's originally depressed mood a little better.
"Fengxiang, it will be your turn tomorrow. Are you confident in this competition?" Shen Jingyuan then turned to look at Shen Fengxiang with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"To the clan leader, I am a descendant of the Shen family, and I am not inferior to others. I will go all out." Shen Fengxiang straightened up and answered solemnly. His eyes were firm and confident, revealing an unyielding spirit.
"Very good." Shen Jingyuan nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Shen Yun, "Yun'er, your time to play should be the last, but I am still very confident in your strength. I didn't expect that you would break through to the next level just a few days after leaving Liucheng. With your fighting power, I think you should be unmatched."
"My nephew will do his best"
Shen Jingyuan showed a gratified smile on his face. He thought to himself: As long as Shen Yun wins the final victory, it doesn't matter even if Shen Rou and Shen Fengxiang are defeated. The two can just be a bonus. After all, Shen Yun is the family's greatest hope. As long as Shen Yun can win the final victory and enter the Royal Academy to practice, if he can obtain the Golden Core Technique, then the Shen family can become a Golden Core family and have a higher status and reputation in the practice world. Thinking of this, Shen Jingyuan was so excited that he could hardly control himself and was very happy.
"Hahahaha..." Shen Jingyuan became happier and happier the more he thought about it. He couldn't help but burst into laughter. The laughter echoed in the meeting room, as if to convey the joy in his heart to everyone.
Shen Yun, Shen Rou and Shen Fengxiang below looked at Shen Jingyuan who was laughing for no apparent reason, with helpless and puzzled expressions on their faces. The three of them looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
Shen Yun frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "What happened to Second Uncle? Why did he suddenly lose his composure?"
Shen Rou curled her lips and muttered softly: "Is father stupid? Why is he laughing so exaggeratedly?"
Shen Fengxiang shook his head, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he thought to himself: "The clan leader is too happy, it's really confusing."
The field suddenly fell into silence, except for the sudden laughter.
Shen Jingyuan was laughing when he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere. After realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly restrained his unbridled smile and an unnatural look appeared on his face.
He cleared his throat, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere, then found a plausible excuse and said, "Well, you all should go back and have a good rest, get enough energy, and be fully prepared for the next competition. There will be a tough battle tomorrow, so don't let your guard down."
After saying these words, Shen Jingyuan pretended to be calm and waved his hand, indicating that Shen Yun, Shen Rou and Shen Fengxiang could leave. Shen Yun, Shen Rou and Shen Fengxiang tried to hold back their laughter, and looked at each other, revealing a hint of laughter in their eyes. They bowed respectfully to Shen Jingyuan, then turned around and slowly walked out of the meeting room.
After the three figures completely disappeared, Shen Jingyuan sat on the chair and stroked his forehead with his hand, with embarrassment still on his face. He was secretly annoyed and blamed himself for being so out of control just now. He secretly warned himself in his heart that he must pay more attention to his words and deeds in the future and not let such embarrassing situations happen again.
The night passed in the blink of an eye.
The morning light shone through the thin clouds, covering the earth with a light golden veil. A breeze blew by, bringing a hint of freshness, dispelling the lingering heat of last night.
The trees around the stadium swayed gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds, as if cheering for the upcoming fierce battle. The clouds in the sky changed shape, as if foreshadowing the unpredictable nature of this competition.
The air was filled with tension, and the birds seemed to sense it, stopping their chirping and standing quietly on the branches, watching the competition. The sunlight gradually became stronger, illuminating the determined figures of the contestants, who were ready to show their strongest strength in this new day.
Yesterday's wonderful competition opened the eyes of all the monks from Liucheng. They were all shocked by the superb skills and fierce competition shown by the contestants. Therefore, early this morning, many people came to the competition venue with great anticipation. They couldn't wait to witness this event again. In order to grab the best viewing position, these monks came to the venue early, and some even arrived before dawn. They didn't take time to rest, for fear of missing any wonderful moments. They were focused and eager, waiting anxiously for the start of the game in front of the venue.
