Chapter 298 - 298 Conflict
“Thank you,” Lu Benwei responded politely.
Wang Zining sighed and said, “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have underestimated you from the first time I saw you.”
Lu Benwei was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to respond, he noticed that Wang Zining had left the ring.
Shrugging, Lu Benwei left the ring and returned to the rest area of Zhejiang Hunter University.
“Lu Benwei, you’re so handsome.”
Lin Feng strode forward to meet Lu Benwei, then gently punched his chest.
“This means that we’ve entered the finals. I’m so excited. Right, let’s go have a good drink tonight to celebrate.”
Lu Benwei smiled faintly. “There are only three days left before the final. We have to seize the time to train. We can’t take it lightly.”
Lin Feng gently poked Lu Benwei’s chest with his elbow. “We’ll be facing your sister in the finals. Let’s sit together tonight and discuss it. It’ll be fine as long as we have a token of respect for it.”
“You child, what nonsense are you saying?” Liu Yi got close to Lin Feng’s back and patted Lu Benwei’s head.
“It’s the finals, of course we have to use all our strength. Otherwise, what’s the difference between us and Wang Qiaochu?”
After a pause, Liu Yi continued, “However, there’s no need to risk your lives. Just use your full strength.”
“Alright,” everyone responded.
At this moment, Lu Ziling appeared at the entrance of Zhejiang Hunter University’s lounge.
Lu Benwei glanced at the crowd and then ran directly to Lu Ziling.
“Ziling, what’s the matter?”
Lu Ziling’s pretty face was as cold as a thousand-year-old ice, causing Lu Benwei’s heart to be filled with doubt.
“I’m still going to say the same thing to you. Regarding the Giant Kingdom’s stone tablet, don’t even think about it.”
“Why?” Lu Benwei was very puzzled.
“If you want the championship, I can give it to you, but don’t even think about the stone tablet. Give it to me after you get it and let me deal with it.”
“No, this is the only hope to break the curse.” Lu Benwei refused.
Lu Ziling suddenly laughed. “That’s good. Then don’t blame me for not considering our relationship as siblings in the finals.”
With that, Lu Ziling turned her head and left without a word.
The conversation between the two was heard by Liu Yi, Lin Feng, and the others. At this moment, they all looked very embarrassed as they accidentally heard the contradictory conversation between Lu Benwei and Lu Ziling.
“What’s the stone tablet? Is that the finals’ prize?” Lin Feng swallowed his saliva and asked weakly.
Liu Yi glared at him fiercely and smacked Lin Feng’s head with his hands. “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.”
Then, Liu Yi silently walked in front of Lu Benwei.
“Little Lu, I think your sister is afraid that you’ll go to the dangerous Giant Kingdom after getting the stone tablet. She is worried about you.”
Liu Yi put his hand on Lu Benwei’s shoulder.
“Even if your sister doesn’t let you go, Lu Ziling will go. After all, this is her life.”
After a pause, Liu Yi continued, “Of course, you’ll still have to do your best in the tournament.”
“No,” he said. Lu Benwei suddenly clenched his fists.
“Ziling has never spoken to me like this before. There must be a secret behind this. Also, I have a feeling that even if Ziling gets the stone tablet, she’ll destroy it.”
“Destroy it? Why? Lu Benwei, you’re overthinking it.” Liu Yi’s mouth opened wide.
“No, I’m not overthinking it.”
“Alright.” Liu Yi turned around and asked, “What are you going to do?”
“Just in case, I’ll find an opportunity to talk to Ziling again in the next few days.” Lu Benwei sighed.
“Alright,” he said, “This is the only way now.” Liu Yi sighed.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Lin Feng got up early and woke Lu Benwei up. “There are still three days left. Let’s hurry up and train properly.”
After that, the five members of Lu Benwei’s team trained in the hotel’s training room until noon.
After lunch, Lu Benwei suggested watching the video of Lu Ziling’s game before lunch break.
Everyone sighed again and again. They should have taken an afternoon nap after lunch. Otherwise, they would have lost all their energy in the afternoon.
However, under Lu Benwei’s repeated request, everyone watched the video of Lu Ziling’s team in a conference room.
When the recording of Lu Ziling’s game ended, Lu Benwei’s team of five all had their mouths wide open, and a chill ran down their backs.
Lin Feng swallowed his saliva and asked, “Lu Benwei, can you reconcile with your sister before the match?”
Lu Benwei bitterly smiled and shook his head.
“Ah, can you tell your sister to show mercy when dealing with the four of us? At worst, we can admit defeat.” Lin Feng’s face was sad.
There was no other reason. Lu Ziling’s fighting style was too brutal. Every opponent she fought with was heavily injured and eliminated.
“What kind of flame is that? It’s even more terrifying than Wang Zining’s Divine Flame Judgment,” Hai Yue asked.
“Yeah. Not only is its temperature much higher than the Divine Flame Judgment, but it also has the ability to attach itself to the flame. Once it touches the flame, it can’t get rid of it. Besides that, it seems to have another characteristic.” Zhao Xiaoqi was deep in thought.
“What characteristics?” Lin Feng was confused, but his eyes were full of fear for Lu Ziling.
...
“It seems to have a mind of its own.”
Suddenly, Lin Feng and Hai Yue’s pupils shrank, and cold sweat started to form on their backs.
“It’s early in the morning, don’t scare me. A flame is just a flame, how can it have intelligence?” Lin Feng’s mouth twitched crazily.
Lu Benwei, who knew everything, smiled bitterly and did not say anything.
The fire on Lu Ziling’s body was the fire of god. As the name suggested, it was the divine fire of the world.
Before Lu Ziling had completed her second-stage class change, the divine fire could already deal 500 percent additional damage.
Now that Lu Ziling had become the flame goddess, the power of the divine flame would rise to another level.
At this moment, Liu Yi knocked on the door and walked into the meeting room.
“Lu Benwei, the principal is looking for you in the hotel reception room.”
“Looking for me?” Lu Benwei was a little surprised. He then bid farewell to everyone and left the meeting room.
Lu Benwei heard Chen Yuan’s hearty laughter even before he reached the hotel reception room.
...
“You two elders can raise such a daughter and son. It’s simply enviable.
Then, Lu Dayong’s voice was heard. “Principal Chen, it’s all thanks to your guidance.”
Jiang Xiuqin’s voice followed. “It seems like Little Lu made the right choice by choosing Zhejiang Hunter University.
“Dad, Mom?”
Lu Benwei was very surprised and quickened his pace. The door was left ajar, so Lu Benwei knocked on it and entered.
As expected, Lu Benwei saw Chen Yuan and Lu Dayong.
At the moment, they were sitting on the sofa, making a pot of tea, and talking and laughing.
