Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 1704
1704 Capture the General Stage
Qian Yu said to the blond young man standing next to Lu Ou, “Han Qi, you shall participate in Capture the General. This is the best chance for you to demonstrate your power. If you do well and win Capture the General, Du Miao might be willing to accept you as his disciple when we return.”
In the Freedom Federation, favored experts and disciples were different.
Favored experts were just young experts that the members of royalty saw promise in and were willing to invest some resources in them.
The favored experts competed with each other to bring pride to the members of royalty who favored them.
!!
The more members of royalty that favored a young expert, the higher status they would attain in the Freedom Federation.
However, the royalty still saw their favored experts as outsiders.
Du Miao had the most favored experts, 73 of them in total.
Hence, it was much better to be a disciple of royalty than a favored expert.
This was the reason Lu Ou dared to oppose Qian Yu.
If Qian Yu instructed Cai Huo, Yan Ling, or You Changjian to participate, the three of them would have no right to turn him down, regardless of how unwilling they were.
Du Miao had long been thinking about accepting Han Qi as his disciple. He had revealed this sentiment before.
As such, no other member of royalty accepted Han Qi as their favored expert, regardless of how interested they were in his talents.
No other member of royalty had taken him in as a favored expert, and Du Miao had not accepted him as a disciple. As such, Han Qi had been in a difficult position for the last few years.
When he walked next to Cai Huo, Yan Ling, and You Changjian, he felt significant scorn from Yan Ling.
Rather, it was Lu Ou who was friendly with him.
Han Qi felt that he would be able to win easily if he fought either Yan Ling, Cai Huo, or You Changjian individually.
Although he was not as strong as Lu Ou’s monster, his combat abilities were more comprehensive.
He also had healing and support abilities and was suitable to be the general in Capture the General. Thus, he nodded and said firmly, “Lord Qian Yu, don’t worry! With me there, I will do everything I can to wipe out all the opponents.”
A month ago, Du Miao had given Han Qi some advice as well as some resources.
It seemed like he was going to publicly invite Han Qi to be his disciple.
However, Du Miao had clashed against the Radiance Federation and ended up being inflicted with something. As a result, he had been in seclusion.
This prevented Han Qi from attaining disciple status before the envoy group left for the Radiance Federation.
Han Qi had wondered more than once how he could show his face in front of Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian if he failed to become a disciple of royalty.
Even if he turned Qian Yu down like Lu Ou had, Qian Yu would not be able to do much about it either.
Han Qi felt that all of this was the Radiance Federation’s fault. Thus, he resented and reviled the Radiance Federation with fervor.
It was the Radiance Federation who had blocked his future.
Thus, despite the fight not starting yet, Han Qi was already filled with enmity and murderous rage for the Radiance Federation.
After being rejected by Lu Ou, Han Qi had just mended Qian Yu’s pride.
Although Han Qi did not have any official status yet, he was still the most likely candidate to become Du Miao’s disciple.
If Han Qi could win Capture the General, there would be no question that he would become a disciple of royalty once he returned to the Freedom Federation.
Qian Yu was exhilarated that a future disciple of royalty had acted so respectfully to him.
“Han Qi, we’re counting on you for Capture the General! After both sides pick their generals, the generals will pick their teammates. If the other side doesn’t send their disciples of royalty, I’ll also send in the carefully nurtured members of the Freedom Hundred Sequence we brought. Your individual power is much stronger than that of Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian. We will wait for your good news!”
Qian Yu was praising Han Qi.
However, his words caused Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian’s expressions to darken.
The three of them were favored by royalty. Their sacred source lifeforms were linked and were deemed to be S+ strategic resources by the Freedom Federation.
As such, they had always sauntered around.
They not only used resources given by members of royalty to increase their power but also resources from the Mirror God.
Although the three of them were not disciples of royalty, they were treated just as well as disciples of royalty.
Hence, the three of them were extremely high and mighty.
Although it was a fact that Han Qi’s individual combat power was superb, what Qian Yu said still hurt their prices.
Nonetheless, the three of them could not oppose a Freedom Envoy.
However, the three of them were definitely not going to pretend to be happy about it.
Although Qian Yu was the one who had spoken, the three of them focused their anger on Han Qi.
“Han Qi, you are indeed our secret weapon. However, we can’t be certain that the Radiance Federation doesn’t have a secret weapon of their own. You just need to ensure that you don’t lose. Du Miao has never been set on accepting you as his disciple. If you embarrass yourself and put Du Miao off, he might give up on you and pick someone new!”
Cai Huo and You Changjian were both thinkers. The difference was that Cai Huo did not like to put himself out there, while You Changjian was more impulsive.
The two of them did not have serious language issues, but they did not give bad impressions.
Meanwhile, Yan Ling did not have much of a filter and was very straightforward.
Yan Ling’s words were like a thousand knives that plunged into Han Qi’s chest.
She brought up everything that he was worried about.
There was an aftermath of silence after she spoke.
Qian Yu frowned and shot Yan Ling a glare.
This was because Liu Wencheng had stood up on his golden pillar and started to speak.
“This battle will take place at the Radiance Sacred Alter’s martial arts stage and will be broadcast on Star Web. The scale of the martial ground replicates that of the Major Federation Meeting. Capture the General will take place at the center, on the 5,000 square meter stage. Let us all move there now!”
