358 Farewell Banquet
On this day, the Di Yi was filled with festivities and the sound of firecrackers rang out. It was extremely lively. Countless students were cheering for the legendary deeds of Lin Xuan and the Star Moon Party. This was not only an honor but also a substantial loss of Taixiaâs resources. The reason why the top nine universities of Taixia could reach their current stage was inseparable from the huge amount of resources that the champion had obtained.
However, resources were resources. Talents were the most important. Otherwise, the nine greats wouldnât have appeared!
Lin Xuan had invited a large group of people, including Zhu Yuan, Zhao Hao, the Lin sisters, other members of the school team, Su Tian, and Luo Yan. The group of people had a party at their exclusive venue in Di Yi.
âFrom today on, we will go our separate ways. Some will still be in Di Yi, some will go to the southern border, some will go to the northern border, some will go to Guangzhou, and some will go to Lianyun City. Itâll be up to fate if we get to meet again.â
As the number one hero of Di Yiâs victory, Lin Xuan had no choice but to say a few words when he was called up. He could not refuse such kindness, so he could only say a few words. However, many of his true feelings were also revealed. The National High School League was not a competition where one person and one team could reach the top. Without the help of Zhao Hao and Zhu Yuan in the Dragon and Tiger competition, Lin Xuan might not have had so much time to cultivate.
Lin Xuanâs breakthrough in the battle of Wind and Cloud might have been a very fortunate event, but one had to know that there was no such thing as luck or coincidence in the path of cultivation. There was only hard work and bloodshed. It was precisely because of Lin Xuanâs persistent and consistent cultivation that the final wave of limit sublimations was achieved.
He could break through only because he was already at the point of overwork and stress!
Zhu Yuan and Zhao Hao couldnât help but feel a little emotional. Lin Xuan was a transfer student, and he was valued by the former principal, so his talent and strength were naturally very powerful. However, his background definitely had a weakness. Without the support of his family, Lin Xuan could barely reach where he was today. His talent was needless to say overpowering, but the dangers and desperate situations he encountered were definitely beyond their imagination.
Back then, they were still a little unconvinced in the team selection tournament. Now that more than a year had passed, they knew how much pain he had suffered and how much blood he had shed. The gap between them and Lin Xuan seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Now, they could barely catch up. In a year or two, when they met again, they would have to bow down to him!
âYouâre too kind. This is what we should do. Without you, Lin Xuan, we, Di Yi, would not have won the championship. Letâs cut to the chase. We have a long way to go in life, so take care of yourself!â
Zhu Yuan also stood up, picked up a glass of grape wine, and gulped it down. He already knew that Lin Xuan would leave Di Yi tomorrow and leave the capital. He would start to cultivate hard and start to strive for the earth-rank. However, for him, it was not time for him to leave yet. He had not touched the threshold of the earth-rank. Well, the profession card was still in sight!
âLin Xuan, I still owe you my thanks. You saved my life in the dungeon two years ago!â
The current Zhao Hao was a different person than before. He was more mature and steady. If this person had been the year before last, perhaps the Lin sisters would not have gone to Dongning to look for another party member. The principal would not have gone to Dongning either, and he would not have found out that Lin Xuan!
A year later, the reality mode was already half-open to the public, and most of those with access to the information knew about Lin Xuanâs unparalleled warrior identity. Although it was just a joke from the earth-rank, no one else knew that the mystic and yellow-rank took every word they said to the earth-rank seriously.
âWeâre all classmates, thereâs no need to thank me. Come and drink! Cheers!â
For a moment, everyone was toasting and exchanging words. Although they were all drinking grape juice, they couldnât help but feel drunk from the atmosphere. Therefore, no matter what they drank, they were still a little high from the cheers.
Su Tian looked at this scene in a daze. To be honest, Qin Fenâs results were just as good. At least, he brought back the title of the Dragon of Taixia. It should be known that many times, Di Yi didnât even get a single win. However, even with such results, Qin Fen was all alone on the day he left, as if he was a loser.
Luo Yan sat beside Su Tian and looked at the dazed Su Tian. She sighed helplessly. She knew that Su Tian was thinking of their legendary team again. The legendary team was different. The three of them had extraordinary talents. They became strong step by step by Qin Fenâs side and finally became Di Yiâs Wind and Cloud champion. Their legendary colors were too strong and were worth remembering.
It was a pity that it didnât end well. Su Tian was a sentimental person, so it was inevitable that she would feel guilty and regretful.
âAre you alright?â
âIâm fine. I just thought of Qin Fen and Yang Cheng.â
Su Tian shook her head and glanced at Lin Xuan, who was drinking his purple-red grape juice in high spirits. She was a little envious of him.
At this time, Qin Fen and Yang Cheng also received the news that Di Yi had won the championship. However, at this time, one of them was participating in the World Tournament in a foreign country, while the other was guarding the national border.
âThis is amazing! Tell Lin Xuan I said congrats!â
Qin Fen was undoubtedly happy. He had no chance of winning against Zhang Ningtian in the past. When he faced Zhang Ningtian, the more he fought, the more desperate he became. It could be said that he only lost to Zhang Ningtianâs heaven-defying resurrection talent.
Now, the successor of Di Yiâs main team, who had promised to win both the championship, had finally fulfilled his promise and brought back their victory. This was really worthy of celebration!
He laughed out loud, his face ferocious as he looked at the foreign races outside the border.
âYou b*stards, come over here. Iâm happy today, so Iâll have a drink with you!â
Su Huaizhou saw the news as well. She smiled gently as if she was reminded of Lin Xuanâs power in the dungeon and how they had to flee in panic. However, her journey in the World Tournament was not over yet. The World Tournament had entered the second stage, and the Xiaori Country had sent more players in. As the entire team had been wiped out in the first stage, it was naturally impossible for them to compete for the overall ranking. However, their goal was to kill Su Huaizhou, so they naturally would not give up easily.
Of course, Su Huaizhou also had a trump card. Additionally, Taixia Country had dispatched many powerhouses to control the fights. Although they didnât expect to wipe out all the contestants of Xiaori Country again, they could still protect Su Huaizhou as best as they could.
The competition ensued.
All good things must come to an end. As the night grew darker, Lin Xuan bade farewell to the two sisters, leaving him all alone. He was stunned for a moment before looking up at the night sky. In the end, he turned around and walked back to his place.
Tomorrowâs sun would still rise, and it would be a new day for him!
