Douluo: Eternal Life from the Legend of Dragon King

Chapter 49 The decisive battle is about to begin

"Why do you want to tie your hair up? I think you look better with your hair down."

The person standing behind Chen Xi spoke as he reached out and grabbed the hairband in his hand, trying to take it away.

"…Nothing, I just want to change my hairstyle."

Hearing the question from the person behind him, Chen Xi answered and let go of the hairband in his hand, allowing the person to take it away.

"Then I suggest you distribute them all from now on. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. The decision is up to you."

After getting Chen Xi's hairband, the person came to Chen Xi's side and sat down and said, Chen Xi turned his head and looked at her.

The person who came was tall and slender, with long golden hair combed into a ponytail. There was a bit of heroism in her temperament, and there was always a proud expression on her pretty face. However, this proud expression naturally disappeared when facing Chen Xi.

The person who came was Mu Xi. Of course, her attitude changed only because she was facing Chen Xi. If it was someone else, Mu Xi would still be the high and mighty daughter of the Holy Craftsman and the Fire Queen of the East China Sea.

"Why are you here? Haven't you been practicing in seclusion for some time? Have you achieved the breakthrough to Soul Master?"

The thirteen-year-old Mu Xi was much taller than the current Chen Xi even when she was sitting down, so Chen Xi needed to raise his head slightly when asking her questions, otherwise he could only see the part from Mu Xi's neck to her chest.

"I heard that you were going to compete, so I came out of isolation just to watch you show off your skills and to cheer you on."

"How about it, are you touched?"

Hearing Chen Xi's question, Mu Xi suddenly put his arms around Chen Xi's neck, brought them closer together, and said.

"As for the breakthrough to Soul Master... I'm still a little short of it. In a few days, I will be able to break through to Soul Master."

"Yeah, I'm touched. Thank you, Sister Xie Muxi."

After feeling the soft touch on his shoulder, Chen Xi's body stiffened slightly and he quickly replied.

Because Mu Xi hugged him carelessly, the distance between them became very small, which forced Chen Xi to touch some of Mu Xi's private parts.

But Mu Xi didn't mind these, otherwise she wouldn't be so close to Chen Xi.

And Chen Xi didn't say anything. After all, he was the one who took advantage and he didn't suffer any loss. Hmm... maybe in Mu Xi's eyes, she was also the one who took advantage?
"By the way, why haven't you written novels or sung songs for such a long time?"

Mu Xi seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked Chen Xi.

"Because there is no need, do you still want to read novels or listen to music?"

Chen Xi shook his head slightly and replied that he had written novels and sang songs in the past few years just to make money in the early stages, and he stopped doing these things after he reached the third-level blacksmith.

Just like Chen Xi said, there was no need to do these anymore. With his current second career and forging skills, he could earn a lot of money just by taking on any commission. Why would he need to do other things?
In fact, even if Chen Xi feels that writing novels, singing, etc. are not profitable, he can continue to do these things. After all, if he gains fans, he can also complete the system's achievements. If those things purchased are physical, Chen Xi only needs to publish them, and he doesn't have to waste any time. Why not do it?

But the main problem arises here. The novels and songs purchased from the system do not appear in physical form. It only transmits those things to Chen Xi's mind. If Chen Xi wants to publish them, he has to spend time turning them into physical forms. This is a bit uncomfortable. Chen Xi stopped doing these things mainly for this reason.

"I do, but forget it if it's inconvenient for you."

Mu Xi nodded when she heard Chen Xi's question. She really liked listening to those stories and songs.

"It's not a big deal. I will write some more stories and songs after the promotion game." Chen Xi did not reject Mu Xi, but directly agreed to her request.

After all, Mu Xi is his closest friend at the moment, and Mu Xi has helped him a lot before. What reason does he have to refuse something that is a piece of cake for him?

Moreover, the fact that he was able to become a third-level blacksmith so quickly was partly due to Mu Xi. Two years ago, Chen Xi met Mu Xi because of forging.

After becoming friends with Mu Xi, Mu Xi gave Chen Xi a lot of valuable experience in forging. When Chen Xi bought metals from Mu Xi, he only paid the cost price. Sometimes Mu Xi could even get some rare metals for Chen Xi.

She even asked her father, the Saint Craftsman, to personally teach Chen Xi, and when Chen Xi was learning about mechas, Mu Xi also helped him a lot.

By now, the relationship between the two has become very good. After Chen Xi's second profession reached level three, the two began to cooperate to make money. Mu Xi forged metal for Chen Xi, and Chen Xi used the metal forged by Mu Xi to make mecha parts or some simple soul guides that the client wanted.

Chen Xi, who saved the forging time, completed the commission more than twice as fast, and the two of them made a lot of money together. Although Mu Xi was not short of money...

"That's great. Don't forget about this later."

Hearing Chen Xi say this, Mu Xi chuckled and patted Chen Xi on the shoulder and said.

Time passed quietly as the two of them talked and laughed, until they saw Director Long walk onto the competition stage and realized that the promotion competition was about to begin.

"I won't bother you anymore, good luck in the game~"

"Ah."

Chen Xi nodded, then walked quickly towards Ye Yingluo.

When Mu Xi was speaking, she always felt that someone was staring at her. After turning around to look at the people around her, she realized that the gaze belonged to a pretty but cold-faced girl in Class 5.

She couldn't understand why the girl was staring at her, but she didn't care much about it. Soon she stopped paying attention to Gu Yue and just sat there watching Chen Xi walk towards the contestants from Class 1.

Long Hengxu on the competition stage first nodded to the head teachers of the two classes, then said in a deep voice:
"Today we are holding the fourth promotion match, with Grade 1 Class 5 playing against Grade 1 Class 1. Teacher Wu, how many players will appear in your class today?"

There is no mandatory requirement for the number of participants in the promotion competition, but most people will choose three people to participate. Wu Changkong has always sent three people before, so this issue is just a formality.

"Three people from our class will compete."

When Wu Zhangkong heard the question, he still answered with a blank expression.

Long Hengxu nodded and said, "Three people from Grade 1, Class 1, please send out as well."

Hearing that three people were going to play, Ye Yingluo nodded and looked at the regular and reserve players in Class 1.

"Chen Xi, Yang Zi and Wang Jinxi, the three of you will represent our class in the battle."

After both sides confirmed the participants, Long Hengxu said loudly: "Participants from both sides enter the venue!"

Chen Xi and Gu Yue both walked at the end of the team. Their eyes were locked on each other the moment they stepped onto the competition stage.
