Chapter 742 Duel
However, Zhou Wen did not feel discouraged. Instead, he felt that this might be an opportunity.
With this guardian, he has an extra space master as a sparring partner, and perhaps there is a chance to take the Lost Kingdom to a further step forward.
Zhou Wen was reborn with a drop of blood and entered the game again to challenge the guardian. Naturally, he was defeated again. However, Zhou Wen was also feeling the influence of the opponent's spatial power on himself.
By watching and personally experiencing the various space skills of the guardian, Zhou Wen gained a lot more insights into the space system. No matter how much he learned before, it was all theoretical knowledge. The opportunity to experience it personally like this is rare.
When Zhou Wen died again and again while playing games, Xia Liuchuan came to the East Courtyard again and told Zhou Wen about the agreement he had made to have a battle at the peak of the Forbidden City.
"You should know that the Forbidden City is a forbidden area of my Xia family, and outsiders are not allowed to enter it." said Old Master Xia.
"I know, but I also hope to fight him there." Xia Liuchuan did not explain too much.
"In that case, let's decide it this way. But this time, you can only win, not lose. No matter what, Zhou Wen can never leave the Forbidden City again." Old Master Xia said lightly.
Xia Liuchuan said nothing, but just bowed slightly.
"Let's set the time four days later. There are still some issues in the Forbidden City that need to be dealt with first. You should go back and prepare well." said Mr. Xia.
Zhou Wen was in the middle of a dungeon when his cell phone suddenly rang. It was Wang Lu calling.
"Do you really agree to duel with Xia Liuchuan?" Wang Lu's voice came over as Zhou Wen just answered the call.
"Yes." Zhou Wen replied.
"Dueling with the Xia family in the imperial capital, or in the Forbidden City controlled by the Xia family, have you ignored what grandma told you before?" Wang Lu said anxiously.
"Don't worry, I have my own plans and nothing will go wrong... Let's not talk about it anymore. There's a call coming in. I'll take it first..." Zhou Wen said as he answered another call. It was from Ouyang Lan.
"Xiao Wen, have you really agreed to duel with Xia Liuchuan in the Forbidden City? You don't have to be afraid. If you are forced by the Xia family, Sister Lan will go and help you." Ouyang Lan said.
"Sister Lan, the Xia family didn't force me. I did this voluntarily. Don't worry, I can handle it." Zhou Wen was really touched after hearing Ouyang Lan's words.
Although they are not related by blood, Ouyang Lan does pay close attention to him.
"Xiao Wen, you are your father's only son, and we won't have any more children in the future. You must think twice before doing anything, and never take risks with your life. Tell Sister Lan if you have any problems, and Sister Lan will help you solve them." Ouyang Lan didn't quite believe what Zhou Wen said, and was still very worried.
"Sister Lan, you really don't have to worry. It's not convenient to say too much on the phone, but I have the ability to protect myself, so nothing will happen." Zhou Wen was afraid that the call would be monitored, so he didn't dare tell Ouyang Lan that he had an invisible cloak.
Ouyang Lan gave Zhou Wen a few more instructions, and then Zhou Wen's phone rang again, so Zhou Wen had to end the call with Ouyang Lan.
This time it was An Sheng who called. An Sheng obviously already knew that Zhou Wen was going to duel with Xia Liuchuan, but he did not persuade Zhou Wen not to duel.
"I'm already on my way to the imperial capital. Is there anything I need to do in advance?" An Sheng said simply and clearly.
"Don't come, I will leave the imperial capital soon." Zhou Wen said hurriedly.
"I'll meet you outside the imperial capital." An Sheng said.
"Don't meet near the imperial capital, let's meet somewhere far away." Zhou Wen knew that he couldn't stop An Sheng.
"Okay, I'll find a way to inform you when the time comes." An Sheng said and hung up the phone.
This news quickly spread throughout the imperial capital, but not many people outside knew about it. Everyone who knew about it thought Zhou Wen was seeking death.
Not to mention that Xia Liuchuan is a rare genius in the Xia family, the fact that he is dueling with people from the Xia family on the Xia family's territory makes people very pessimistic about Zhou Wen.
Dugu Ge and Zhang Chunqiu were in the imperial capital, so they naturally heard the news.
"This battle is a good opportunity to see how much the guardian can improve Xialiu's strength." Zhang Chunqiu said with a smile.
"It seems that your calculation is not accurate at all. Xia Liuchuan actually took the guardian away." Dugu Ge said.
Zhang Chunqiu smiled faintly and said, "Fate is unpredictable. Don't take my calculations seriously. I'm just talking nonsense."
"Then just do some random calculations and see who will win this time, Zhou Wen or Xialiu?" Dugu Ge said.
"According to my calculations, the Xia family will definitely not lose." Zhang Chunqiu said.
Dugu Ge looked at Zhang Chunqiu with disdain and went back to his room.
Zhou Wen has received a notice from Xia Liuchuan that a battle will take place in the Forbidden City in four days, but only Zhou Wen will be allowed to enter at that time.
Zhou Wen had no choice but to contact Wang Lu, hoping to leave the antelope and the bird with her first.
"You hung up the phone so quickly just now, and now you think of me again?" Wang Lu said angrily.
"It was my stepmother who called just now. How could I not answer the phone?" Zhou Wen explained soothingly.
"Zhou Wen, you know about the Xia family's affairs. You really shouldn't have dueled Xia Liuchuan. Xia Liuchuan might not be very famous, not even as famous as the younger generation like John and Lan Shi, but he is definitely more terrifying than Lan Shi. He is someone who has truly survived countless death trials, unlike those spoiled brats who are still in a greenhouse."
Wang Lu continued, "Although Xia Liuchuan is known as the most dissolute young master of the Xia family, his talent is no less than An Tianzuo's. My grandmother met him when he was six years old. At that time, the old man of the Xia family took him to visit the Ancient Sword Tomb. At that time, a mythical sword happened to be unearthed. At the age of six, Xia Liuchuan saw the mythical sword fighting a human and actually understood the sword technique of the mythical sword. His talent in combat is terrifyingly strong."
"If it's not strong, then there's no point." Zhou Wen said with a smile. He just didn't want Wang Lu to worry too much.
"If it were somewhere else, it wouldn't be a big deal for you to duel with Xia Liuchuan, but that's the Forbidden City. How can you duel with Xia Liuchuan there? Even if you win, it will be difficult to get out." Wang Lu sighed.
"Don't worry, if I, Zhou Wen, want to leave, no one in the Federation can stop me." Zhou Wen said firmly.
Wang Lu knew it was too late to say anything now. Zhou Wen had already accepted the challenge, and it was too late to regret it now.
Four days passed quickly. The Xia family took the initiative to send a car to pick up Zhou Wen to go to the Forbidden City, but Zhou Wen refused them and carried the wood and walked towards the Forbidden City.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to ride in the car, but the car can’t fit the wood at all.
