But in reality, throughout the entire process, the Prince was almost entirely suppressed by Qin Chu, having almost no capital to counterattack.
This made the three elders even more suspicious of Qin Chu’s strength and saw this as a good opportunity to test his true power. As for the Prince, they considered him as waste to be recycled.
Otherwise, with Wozworth’s strict blockade, the Prince’s challenge wouldn’t even stand a chance of being delivered.
Compared with these three old foxes, Rose Vesper was still a bit too green.
Qin Chu straightened out his feelings and body, "The Holy Daughter also thought of it, right? The Hero is supposed to bring hope to the Sky Do Continent and save this world. If the Hero were to flee without fighting, the hit to the morale of those fighting the Demon Alliance Army would be imnse, it’s simply unimaginable. They might even doubt whether they could truly defeat the demons by following such a Hero."
"So I must participate in this duel. Even if I lose, I cannot run away."
Rose Vesper finally caught on, feeling sowhat ashad, "But, the Prince is really dangerous... His personality is very extre, he’s capable of doing anything..."
Qin Chu suddenly laughed, "Holy Daughter, how can you be so sure that I will definitely lose?"
"Moreover, I am currently training hard, learning so magic under Asina’s guidance. Maybe it will co in handy when the ti cos," said Qin Chu, blinking his eyes, "Just now, Asina was here instructing ..."
"Asina?" Rose Vesper seed to relax a bit, "If it’s Asina, perhaps she really has the ability to turn defeat into victory. Asina knows a lot about Magic Potions, and also weird Magic Arrays... All these can temporarily enhance strength, though they often co with so side effects."
"Yes, Asina is really a good teacher," Qin Chu nodded repeatedly, praising, "Her teaching style is quite varied; sotis like a fierce storm or terrifying waves, sotis like a gentle spring rain, quietly nourishing everything..."
"Often after her guidance, my mind is completely empty, reluctant to think about anything else."
"It’s at tis like these that training in magic is twice as effective with half the effort."
Rose Vesper covered her mouth and giggled softly, "Well, Asina’s personality is a bit peculiar, please bear with it..."
As she spoke, Rose Vesper gracefully stood up, "Since Mr. Brave has already prepared, I can be at ease. However... Mr. Brave, please be very careful. I will support you, and it’s okay even if you lose in the duel, but please consider your own safety as the most important thing. The Sky Do Continent cannot be without Mr. Brave."
"If Mr. Brave gets hurt, Rose Vesper will be very sad too." The Holy Daughter’s face turned Crimson as she said this in a tender voice.
While speaking, she also stole glances at Qin Chu with eyes full of tenderness.
Truth be told, such an expression was extrely impactful.
Qin Chu couldn’t help but shiver violently.
As Rose Vesper prepared to leave, Qin Chu also stood up to see her out, his attire sohow having returned to its neat appearance.
By the ti Qin Chu ca back to the room after sending off Rose Vesper, Asina had already co out.
Her cheeks were still flushed, and she seed a bit angry, "To say that I have a peculiar temper, has he not looked in the mirror to see what he himself is like?"
Then she glared at Qin Chu sowhat annoyed, "This guy, making hide under the table? I could have just stayed here, eting Rose Vesper would have been no big deal..."
Asina was sowhat curious about her own reaction. Normally, she should be very angry, or even explode on the spot, but in reality, she didn’t, and strangely, she didn’t even dislike this feeling.
Just then, Qin Chu suddenly rembered sothing and smacked his forehead, "Right, Miss Asina... I have sothing to tell you."
While speaking, Qin Chu very carefully extended his hand from the storage ring and took out a diamond-shaped crystal, offering it to Asina.
Asina, preoccupied with other matters, imdiately felt a touch of impatience as what she yearned for at heart was not this... However, she quickly realized that this was Lord Jie Luo’s Soul Fragnt.
She suppressed the slight irritation in her heart, took the Soul Fragnt, and carefully examined it from all angles. It seed there were no issues... It was only after a few seconds had passed that she finally noticed it.
Her face lit up with surprised joy, her voice trembling slightly, "Lord Jie Luo’s Soul Fragnt, has it healed a bit?"
The surface, although still covered with cracks, seed to have fewer than before.
Overwheld with ecstasy, Asina didn’t even realize her choice of words, as the phrase ’Lord Jie Luo’ slipped out directly.
Luckily, Qin Chu didn’t notice this at all.
Could it be that the recent events had accelerated the healing of the Soul Fragnt? Asina quickly ca to this realization, a strong surge of emotion welling up within her. Indeed, the sacrifices she had made for Lord Jie Luo were useful.
With this in mind, such sacrifices must be sustained; the more she sacrificed, the quicker Lord Jie Luo could be resurrected.
It was at this mont that a single sentence from Qin Chu turned Asina pale.
"Since last ti, I’ve noticed that there are fewer cracks on this thing. Could it be because of that? Haha, if that’s the case, a few more tis and maybe we could resurrect the First Generation Brave."
Asina’s mind buzzed, and her complexion instantly turned deathly pale.
A wave of intense fear gripped her. Could it be that Qin Chu had discovered these secrets? What was he planning to do, to completely destroy the Soul Fragnt? She instinctively wanted to stop Qin Chu; she couldn’t let this happen. Should the Soul Fragnt be completely destroyed, Lord Jie Luo might never be resurrected again.
As Asina’s face turned pale, Qin Chu’s expression beca sowhat weird: "Miss Asina, it was just a joke, you didn’t take it seriously, did you? There’s no such thing as bringing people back to life."
Asina forced a stiff smile, her gaze flitting away, as if she was too embarrassed to et Qin Chu’s eyes, and she awkwardly spoke, "You know, the First Generation Brave and we have a good relationship, after all, we fought side by side for many years, and feelings are there, still... when you suddenly hear the words ’First Generation Brave resurrected,’ it’s a bit of a shock."
"By the way, do you still need to instruct you in magic?" Asina abruptly changed the topic, giving Qin Chu a coy glance, quickly adjusting her ntal state. Ever since she saw the cracks on Lord Jie Luo’s Soul Fragnt beginning to heal, the last trace of resistance within Asina’s heart vanished, and her self-sacrifice brought an unprecedented peak in self-movent and self-satisfaction. The slight reluctance in her consciousness was now completely gone.
Luckily, Qin Chu didn’t seem to be such a ticulous man. He didn’t seem to notice the subtle changes in Asina’s emotions, completely distracted by the words spoken.
His eyes beca eager: "Of course, there’s an ancient saying in my hotown, ’The sea of learning is boundless, with hardship as a boat.’ To reach the peak of wisdom, enduring hardship is nothing, I can bear it."
Asina couldn’t care less about anything else anymore, as long as her heart did not sink, that was fine.
Lord Jie Luo, watch, this is the sacrifice I make for you.
For you, I’m willing to do anything.
...
In the days that followed, Qin Chu and Asina engaged in intensive retreat to study magic, not receiving any visitors.
On the night before the duel, a special guest arrived at the Prince’s palace.
Wozworth!
