Although it is the interstellar era, the tradition of dueling has been preserved. For powerful imperial nobles, when there are conflicts that cannot be adjusted, duel is the ultimate means for them to resolve conflicts and defend their honor.
A duel initiated by nobles, solemn in nature and protected by imperial law, cannot be easily ended once started, and is extremely sacred.
Moreover, every duel will be broadcast live on the entire network, attracting the attention of the people of the entire empire.
Therefore, although this tradition is preserved, the nobles would never initiate a duel easily unless they really had a deep hatred, because once they lose, their reputation will be ruined, and their lives will be lost at worst.
Even for the aristocratic nobles, it is a battle of reputation and life, and it is no small matter to put all the eggs in one basket.
With Ji Ling's distinguished status and... bad reputation, he was born to challenge a commoner, and he was also a commoner idol with the title of rising star. The shocking effect on the Internet was no less than a ten-level tsunami! First of all, in terms of identity, the big bullies the small, and secondly, in terms of strength, it is self-inflicted humiliation, and then think of the scandal between Jing Sui and Ning Yu before, the love and hatred behind it have been filled by hundreds of thousands of words in everyone's brains, The twists and turns of the process are full of drama, and it is almost topical, and the traffic and topics are constantly being refreshed every moment.
Ji Ling didn't care about that, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ning Yu's reply. He turned off the Internet, ignored the uproar outside, and happily prepared to go up to deliver food.
It's just that Ji Ling doesn't care about the opinions outside, it doesn't mean that the people around him don't care.
It was his parents who came first.
Mrs. Marina said anxiously as soon as she entered the door: "Honey, what are you doing?"
Grand Duke Ji Ting looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Ling, you are too impulsive."
Ji Ling lowered his head and said nothing. In fact, no matter what the original owner is, at least his parents really love him. Although he is only following the original book's rules, he still feels a little guilty looking at such a father and mother.
I can't hurt anyone by doing this, the only thing I can hurt is probably my father and mother.
Mrs. Marina looked at her son's dejected appearance, her heart ached so much, her beautiful eyes were filled with worry, she said to her husband: "You are too serious, you scared the baby!"
Grand Duke Ji Ting had an ugly expression. For the first time, he didn't follow his wife's words, but accused him in a deep voice: "It's because you spoiled him that you act so carelessly."
Mrs. Marina glared at him dissatisfied: "Why don't you say that the pariah is too arrogant, what is he thinking? Why did he agree to a duel? Did he want to step on our baby's reputation? I think he is ambitious!"
Grand Duke Ji Ting was very helpless, and said: "Xiao Ling was the first to openly provoke. If he doesn't agree, others will say that he is afraid."
Mrs. Marina was even angrier: "I don't care, tell me what to do now!"
Grand Duke Ji Ting pressed his forehead, and was also very distressed. It is absolutely impossible for his son to beat Ning Yu, but avoiding and not fighting is also shameful.
It's really hard to end things like this.
After all, this is not any other trivial matter that can overwhelm others, but a holy and fair duel! Even with his powerful position as the Grand Duke, he has no right to stop it.
Ji Ling looked at his frowning father and mother, was silent for a while, then raised his head and said with persistent eyes: "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I made you worry... But whether I win or lose, I want to solve the problem face to face with him, please You forgive my willfulness."
Although he felt guilty, he had to do this.
Grand Duke Ji Ting and Mrs. Marina looked at him silently. Finally, Mrs. Marina sighed and said, "Don't worry, Mom won't let anything happen to you."
What can they do if their son is so persistent? In fact, what they were most worried about was Ji Ling's life safety, not whether his behavior would embarrass the Ji family. This is their darling, and he was reluctant to get hurt a little.
As long as Ji Ling can come back in good condition, the rest can only follow him.
Ji Ling almost swore that he would be careful, and after talking for a long time before sending his father and mother away, he let out a heavy breath, and looked in the direction of the door in a daze.
Ji Ling: [System, tell me, if one day I go home, what will they do... ]
System: [I think you're thinking a little too much.]
Ji Ling: [?]
System: [As long as you can complete the task and bring the world back on track, everything is easy to talk about, and there will always be a way for everything, but... are you sure you can complete the task?]
Ji Ling: […]
Why is he so confused, he wants to confide in this system that does not open the pot and lifts the pot :)
…
The duel was scheduled for three days later, but Ji Ling was destined not to spend these three days peacefully.
Early the next morning, Ji Ling welcomed Wen Yan who came to persuade him.
Ji Ling was a little surprised by this. Wen Yan never persuaded him on this matter in his previous life. This big villain is the most insidious and cunning. Had he been persuaded by the risk of being disliked or disliked
But this time Wen Yan came.
Wen Yan walked in. He was dressed in a black robe, with long silver hair tied behind his head, and complex emotions in his black eyes. He said, "Do you really want to fight Ning Yu?"
Ji Ling's character design will never collapse, he nodded vigorously and said: "Yes!"
Wen Yan looked at the young man's persistent eyes, his stubborn tone, but his heart was extremely heavy. Thinking of everything that happened in his last life, he didn't want Ji Ling to fight Ning Yu anyway. But still came this far.
Some things are unavoidable, even if you are reborn, you can't stop it.
Thinking of this, Wen Yan felt strong resentment and dissatisfaction towards Jing Sui in his heart. The young man loves you so much, why can't you be a little bit concerned about his feelings, and you want to push him to this point
He clenched his right hand tightly, and after a while, he took out a box from his arms, bent down and opened it respectfully in front of Ji Ling.
Ji Ling looked at it suspiciously. Inside was a purple grass with very beautiful crystal-like leaves.
Wen Yan's thin lips parted slightly, and he said in a respectful voice: "This is a herb that grows in the earth fire flow of Planet Lesa. As long as you take it, even a powerful evolutionary will have the illusion of being terminally ill. It cannot be detected, and it itself does not cause any harm to the human body, and the effect will disappear naturally after two months."
Ji Ling looked at Wen Yan suspiciously, and after a few seconds, he figured it out. He wanted to prevent him from fighting Ning Yu! Suddenly showing a furious expression, he shouted: "What do you mean, you let me pretend to be sick to avoid fighting?!"
Wen Yan looked at Ji Ling's angry expression, and even though he knew that what he said next might make the young man even more angry, he still looked up at him and said word by word: "If you use this, you have a proper reason to postpone the duel. , when the matter cools down, I will naturally have a way to let this matter go."
Ji Ling waved his hand violently and knocked the box in Wen Yan's hand to the ground. There seemed to be anger burning in his eyes, and he stared at him and said loudly: "Are you looking down on me? Do you also think I am inferior to that pariah?"
Wen Yan watched the herbs he carefully prepared rolled to the ground like this, and then looked up at the boy's stubborn and unyielding appearance, with deep bitterness in his eyes, and slowly said: "I didn't mean that, I just..."
Ji Ling was afraid that he would continue to talk, and shouted angrily: "Get out, get out!"
As he spoke, he pushed Wen Yan out vigorously, and closed the door heavily with a bang.
Don't you want to ruin my plan!
No one can stop my determination to deliver food!
After he closed the door, he carefully peeped through the gap, and found that Wen Yan was still standing outside, refusing to leave, with a solemn expression, and complex worries and helplessness in his long and narrow phoenix eyes.
Tsk tsk, it looks like you really care about me.
Just assume that you are reborn, but don't think I will believe you. You have been very unpredictable in your previous life, full of bad things, and you are not merciless when you cheat people, and I hurt your self-esteem like this, and treat you as a servant Come and drink, what reason do you have to care about me? Even if you are reborn, you will only hate me even more, right
Wait... Is this guy trying to trick him into eating poisonous weeds for revenge
It's getting more and more vicious!
Ji Ling glanced at the herbs on the ground with lingering fear, took a tissue and carefully picked it up with two fingers, and quickly threw it into the trash can. Then he ignored Wen Yan and continued to sleep.
…
It was already afternoon when Ji Ling woke up. When he got up, he saw that Wen Yan had finally left, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a servant hurried over to announce: "Master, Marshal Brandon is here."
The servant looked terrified, and his steps were in a hurry. As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ling saw Brandon walking like the wind, striding forward. The tall and burly man had a cold look on his face, as if he was on a battlefield. No wonder the servant was terrified.
Ji Ling suddenly stood up, also showing a look of surprise, how could Brandon come to see him at his home, and he has no friendship with him!
This is a bit unreasonable.
Brandon stood still in front of Ji Ling, his eyes were extremely complicated, and he focused on the young man in front of him. After all, he didn't listen to his advice and challenged Ning Yu. Could he really be unable to stop him? Brandon opened his mouth and made a low voice: "You want to fight Ning Yu."
Ji Ling suppressed the surprise in his heart, looked at him with his head held high, raised his eyebrows and said, "So what?"
Brandon had countless words of dissuasion in his heart, but he knew that Ji Ling would not listen to him. In the end, there was only one sentence left after a thousand words: "Then it will be a fair battle, and it doesn't matter if you lose."
How can Ji Ling be upright and upright to show my meanness and viciousness, and how can it set off Ning Yu's extraordinary bravery? Yin Yang sneered strangely: "You think highly of your good subordinate, so I'm sure he can beat me."
Brandon looked helpless, he had long been used to Ji Ling's style of speaking, in fact, the young man was just jealous, so he didn't care about what went in from one ear to the other, and said slowly: "I will stand by your side. "
Ji Ling snorted: "I think you want to see my jokes!"
Brandon shook his head, "No."
With disbelief on Ji Ling's face, he fought with each other and finally drove Brandon away.
He watched the back of Brandon leaving, but he didn't relax, because maybe Carlos would come sometime. Didn't the old fox pretend to care about him all the time
Ji Ling waited and waited nervously, thinking about how to deal with Carlos in the future, but Carlos didn't come...
…
ducal mansion.
Carlos was sitting in the study room, holding a book with a black cover in his hand. It was the one that Ji Ling used to read when he lived in his home. But if you look carefully, you can see that his eyes did not fall on In the book, there is a dark and gloomy look in his eyes.
In fact, he got the news as soon as Ji Ling challenged Ning Yu, but he didn't go to see Ji Ling.
Because he knew very well that Ji Ling would not change his mind.
The young man seems weak, self-willed, arrogant... In fact, he is more persistent and firm than anyone else in his heart, and that's why he loves someone so infatuatedly and without regrets, right
Sometimes Carlos thought that it might be a good thing if the teenager's heart could be a little more fickle.
It's a pity that the boy has the most fickle heart.
Let yourself love so much, but feel powerless and painful because of it.
Anderson stood respectfully aside, breathing very lightly, lest he disturb the contemplative Duke.
After a long time, Carlos slowly put down the book in his hand, the cold look in the brown pupils flashed past, and he spoke slowly in a low voice: "Kill Ning Yu, remember to be clean."
Since the boy cannot be stopped, as long as Ning Yu is killed, the problem will naturally be solved.
He didn't want to touch Ning Yu now, but he couldn't bear Ji Ling's reputation being ruined in public. As long as Ning Yu happened to have an 'accident', even if someone doubted it, what would they dare to say
Anderson looked at His Excellency the Duke's indifferent orders, but he could feel the killing intent behind his calm words, bent down and said, "Yes."
Carlos nodded, nodded and said, "Go."
…
Ji Ling didn't know anything about these things, and seeing that Carlos didn't come to persuade him, he was happy and relaxed, and the day of the duel soon came.
After a few days of fermenting, news of this duel has been overwhelming on the Internet, topping the headlines of all major websites, and all major media flocked to the duel arena. The event was unprecedented.
When Ji Ling came to the duel field and went to his preparation room, he happened to pass by Ning Yu.
In order to express his jealousy and dissatisfaction with Ning Yu, Ji Ling stopped in his tracks and said harshly to him: "Just wait and see, I will defeat you!"
Ning Yu looked at him sideways, with a calm and indifferent look in his emerald green eyes, with a faint smile hanging on his lips, "Really? Then use all your strength and let me see..."
He bowed his head close to Ji Ling, stared into his eyes, and said slowly and meaningfully: "Let me see what you can do for him."
Ji Ling fell into Ning Yu's deep eyes, and there seemed to be some emotion in the depths of his eyes that he couldn't understand, which made him lose his mind for a moment... But he quickly calmed down, snorted coldly, and was about to continue speaking to Ning Yu own rhetoric.
In the end, Ning Yu had already turned around and left without hesitation, leaving him with a tall and powerful back that was gradually going away.
Ji Ling opened his mouth: "..."
He had no choice but to swallow the vicious speech he hadn't said yet, snorted, and turned around to walk to his preparation room.
He first called his servant, whispered a few words in the servant's ear, ordered him to play tricks on Ning Yu, and then began to wait nervously.
In order to ensure the fairness of the duel, both sides of the duel use the same standard mecha, otherwise, if they can use their own mecha casually, then the competition is not about strength, but financial resources.
But this situation is very unfavorable to Ji Ling. Using the same mecha, Ning Yu, a high-level evolutionary who has experienced many battles, beats Ji Ling, a waste and idiot. Although the original owner is a stupid and poisonous love brain, he also knows that he can't beat Ning Yu... So he ordered his servants to tamper with Ning Yu's mecha, trying to win by despicable means, but such behavior is absolutely not allowed by the empire. permitted by law.
As a result, his reputation was discredited in the previous life.
Ji Ling followed the plot seriously, only in this way can he threaten Ning Yu in such a desperate situation, making Jing Sui furious and defending Ning Yu himself!
The servant came back soon after leaving, and gave Ji Ling a look of completion. Ji Ling made up his mind, everything was ready and only owed Dongfeng!
…
On the VIP seat of the duel, Carlos sat on the sofa, holding his cane in both hands, with a gloomy and cold expression in his eyes.
Anderson has been by his side for many years, and he has always done things safely and reliably. In order to make Ning Yu "accidentally killed", he found three SS-level superpowers to join forces to kill Ning Yu. It stands to reason that Ning Yu must die, but... They failed up.
Ning Yu escaped from the three pursuers by chance, and then hid in Brandon's house, leaving him no chance to attack again.
But, was that really... a fluke
Carlos always believes that the so-called luck is just a coincidence. As long as the preparation is sufficient, there will be no fluke behavior. For the opponent he wanted to attack, he would never give such 'luck' to the opponent, but this time, Ning Yu was lucky to escape.
He didn't show any abnormal abilities, the timing of his escape was full of chance, and he was seriously injured. It really seemed like luck.
So, is it a so-called fluke, or is he hiding his strength
Carlos narrowed his eyes slightly. This person may not be as simple as it looks on the surface, and I am afraid I have underestimated him.
The other VIP rooms were also full of people.
Wen Yan frowned tightly as he watched the crowd, his eyes darkened. He still had no way to stop Ji Ling, stop this duel... Now he can only hope that Ji Ling is safe and sound.
Brandon was in another room, also paying attention to the situation inside, with the same heavy heart, no matter what, he would not let Ji Ling have an accident.
At the same time, countless other nobles came to the scene, paying attention to this unprecedented duel.
Netizens who couldn't come to the scene watched the live broadcast on various occasions.
The topics discussed on the Internet have built one tall building after another, and almost all of them ridiculed Ji Ling's overreaching, and even bet that he would lose the duel within a few minutes.
"We, Ning Yuda, can easily hit a hundred of trash like Ji Ling."
"It's less than a hundred. Are you looking down on us Ning Yuda? Ning Yuda is an S-level powerhouse!"
"Some people just overestimate themselves. Others don't care about him. He insists on sending his face to others. Let's wait and see the good show."
"Brother Ning, come on! Give that useless nobleman some color!"
"Ning Yu is the best!"
…
Sitting in the mecha, Ji Ling was nervous, and naturally knew nothing about the outside world.
Although this plot has been gone through in the previous life, it is still very disturbing to do it again. As an ordinary young man from a harmonious society, mechas, a thing that has only been seen in Japanese manga, never dreamed You can open it yourself. Although he has the memory of the original owner, the original owner is also a piece of trash, so he really can't help him much.
Fortunately, after countless years of development, the super-high civilization of the empire has made mechas, which were previously difficult to drive and had extremely high thresholds, intelligentized to the point that almost any evolutionary can drive them. The combat consciousness of the army is still very important and plays a decisive role.
If he didn't do anything, Ji Ling would definitely be hanged and beaten.
He wiped the cold sweat off his brow, watched the front door slowly open, grabbed the joystick with both hands, and rushed out in one go!
Two mechas suddenly appeared in the duel arena, splashing dust, and the surrounding audience screamed one after another.
Ji Ling couldn't hear clearly, but just stared at the front. Although he had done something wrong, he still needed to get through the first few minutes before Ning Yu's mech broke down, otherwise he would be defeated before Ning Yu's accident happened. , that's too ugly...
Although the two mechas are identical standard mechas, Ning Yu's is white and Ji Ling's is red, which is for the convenience of the viewer to distinguish.
In order to be able to fight under Ning Yu for a few more minutes, Ji Ling also spent a lot of time on simulation learning. Although learning this kind of fighting machine made him bald, in order to complete the task, he can do it!
In the next second, the white mech on the opposite side moved.
Ji Ling concentrated his attention, drew out the long laser sword on the mecha, and greeted him as if dying!
He is very self-aware, he never thought of defeating Ning Yu, his purpose is how to avoid Ning Yu's attack, and try to procrastinate as long as possible under Ning Yu's hands, don't look at Ji Ling's usual cowardice, but he I belong to the kind of people who can perform supernormally under high pressure. They used to be mediocre in school, but they always performed better than usual when they encountered big exams. This is actually a manifestation of good psychological quality.
The stricter and more difficult the environment, the more it can stimulate his potential.
In fact, we can also see some clues from the fact that he was able to deal with it calmly without being completely confused when he was surrounded by many big bosses.
The attack of the white mech was very fierce, and its movements were fluent and carefree. It was worthy of being a fighter who had been fighting for a long time. Ji Ling evaded it very difficult and embarrassed, and escaped from Ning Yu's hands again and again with difficulty, but the gap in strength was too great after all. After dodging a few times, Ling was finally caught up by Ning Yu.
Ning Yu slashed at his mech's left arm with a sword, cutting off the entire left arm of the mech, sending out a burst of electric sparks.
Ji Ling rolled out on the ground. Seeing Ning Yu approaching again, he turned and ran.
Just like this, you chased me, you hit me to hide, and a few minutes passed...
Ji Ling was suddenly dumbfounded, something is wrong!
He, he should have been hiding for several minutes, right? It stands to reason that there should be something wrong with Ning Yu's mech, but why... Ning Yu seems to be fine now!
The pill, he couldn't take it anymore!
He wouldn't just be beaten to death like this!
…
Online viewers complained while watching the live broadcast.
Seeing that Ji Ling was hanged and beaten by Ning Yu as soon as he came on the stage, he was completely helpless, and everyone was gloating.
"I just said that there is no suspense in the ending. I thought Ji Shaoduo could last a few more minutes."
"I think he will be beaten immediately and kneel down and beg for mercy."
"It's really embarrassing to their nobles. The current imperial nobles are like this. They are not worthy of carrying shoes for Ning Yu."
"Hahahahahaha, I can laugh about this for a whole year!"
Everyone happily watched Ji Ling being beaten and rolling all over the floor. It seemed that he would be beaten to death by Ning Yu in the next second, but one minute passed, two minutes passed, and three minutes passed...
Ji Ling was still dodging tenaciously. Although the red mecha was covered with scars and looked extremely embarrassed, he still hadn't lost.
Not only did he not lose, but he even dodged again and again when others thought he was going to be overwhelmed.
"What... what's going on?"
"Why hasn't he lost yet?"
Seeing that Ji Ling's mecha's left arm was cut off and hit hard, everyone thought that this time should be over, right
Who knew that this kid suddenly erupted like a small universe, but he stubbornly avoided it again!
Then he rushed towards Ning Yu with a bang, knocking Ning Yu out!
Damn, they were blindsided, Ji Ling actually fought back, he not only persisted for so long but also fought back! Didn't this dude suddenly evolve
Although Ning Yu quickly regained his senses and beat Ji Ling again, but gradually... the ridicule on the Internet disappeared.
Someone began to make a hesitant sound.
"It is said that he was congenitally deficient when he was born, and he only had a C-level physique. Even Grand Duke Ji Ting couldn't help him improve his physical fitness, so he has been pampered. If the C-level physique has not been learned in battle, it will not be easy to persist until now... "
"Although Ning Yuda is very powerful, this kid doesn't seem to be as useless as the legends say..."
"Speak softly, if it were me, I might have been beaten to death..."
"Don't they all say that he is a useless dandy? Can any dandy in the empire do the same?"
"Why hasn't he lost yet, is he still insisting? Why don't he just admit defeat?"
"Actually, it's okay to admit defeat. Even if you admit defeat now, it's not so ugly. After all, he tried his best..."
"Can a noble with a C-level physique do this?"
"I'm still Brother Zhanning."
"But Ning Yu, did you let the water go..."
"Probably not, he can't be the kind of person who is afraid of the powerful..."
…
Ji Ling was sent flying again, and the huge mecha rolled on the ground several times. Despite the shock absorption system, he still felt dizzy.
At first, he thought it was just a delay in the mecha's failure, and he was still desperately persevering, but gradually he finally realized that Ning Yu's mecha might not have been tampered with at all!
Or the self-made thing was discovered and stopped, which is very possible, after all, so many people have been reborn.
Thinking of this, Ji Ling felt extremely sad and indignant, those cheating villains!
I know that you have no good intentions, and you are all helping Ning Yu, right? I was confused by their appearance before, thinking that they had changed to me!
Ji Ling, who was beaten up, collapsed.
Seeing that he didn't expect Ning Yu to make a mistake, and he was definitely not Ning Yu's opponent, why don't he just admit defeat
But I 'hate' Ning Yu so much, it doesn't seem to be in line with my personality to admit defeat...
Just when Ji Ling was tangled and struggling, Ning Yu's mecha came in front of him again, and that white shadow was as fast as lightning! He had been beaten so helplessly that he closed his eyes subconsciously...
At this moment, a black mecha suddenly descended from the sky! Landed with a bang!
That black mecha was several times larger than the standard mecha they used. The streamlined fuselage showed his graceful, luxurious and sharp outline. With the invincible cold chill!
There was silence.
Everyone recognized it... This is His Majesty's Mecha!
The most powerful fighting machine unique in the entire empire!
Ji Ling stared blankly at the steel battle armor in front of him, descending in front of him like an invincible god... Its appearance made the ground tremble.
What are you doing now
I was going to be beaten to death, and Ning Yu was fine.
Don't you need to be a hero to save the beauty? !
Ji Ling was dumbfounded.
As a result, the next moment, he saw the black mecha in front of him, bent his knees violently, galloped out with his back to Ji Ling, and punched the white mecha in front of him like a thunderbolt!
