Book of Disaster

"It's not too late to admit your mistake now. Perhaps I will let you go. But if you want to regret it after today, you will have no chance."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Wuchen's face had turned purple as he felt extreme humiliation well up in his heart. How could he swallow his pride and surrender so easily in front of so many people?

"Brother Zhao, don't insist. Admit your mistake."

"Yes, lower your head. The situation is stronger than the person. He has a king-level martial spirit. He will at least be a military commander in the future. The court will also pay great attention to him. We can't afford to offend him."

The young men from aristocratic families around Lu Wuchen who had already apologized also began to persuade him.

"Lu Wuchen, you still don't apologize?"

At this moment, a thunderous voice came from a distance, Prince Gun's expression turned cold, and he suddenly spoke.

In the past, he didn't care about the grudges between these children of aristocratic families, but now Bai Qi is the most popular person in the entire martial soul awakening ceremony. He is the owner of a king-level martial soul and has unlimited potential, so he can't just ignore it.

On the other side, when Lu Wuchen heard Prince Gun's voice, his face suddenly turned pale.

Prince Gun!

Even Prince Gun got involved, and was clearly on Bai Qi's side.

"It's over, it's over, Prince Gun has spoken."

"Lu Wuchen, what are you still hesitating about? It was fine before, but we can't afford to offend Bai Qi now."

"A real man can bend and stretch. We cannot afford to offend the Bai family. His talent is higher than ours now."

"We really misjudged him before. This Lu Wuchen doesn't even have this much foresight, and now he even wants to go against Bai Qi!"

"If we anger his eldest brother and father, our family will suffer."

……

Beside Lu Wuchen, the young men from noble families who were advising him became more and more anxious.

Lu Wuchen's face turned pale and blue, and he was struggling inside.

From all directions, the children of noble families who participated in the ceremony were whispering to each other, enjoying the fun. The relationship between Lu Wuchen and Bai Qi was also clearly seen by everyone.

"Hey, you are still stubborn. This is called being too proud to live in misery!"

"Who would have thought that Bai Qi from the Bai family would become so successful overnight?"

"The Bai family is now full of heroes. Only a fool would go against them. Lu Wuchen is going to bring disaster upon his family!"

"With so many generals, great commanders, provincial governors, and military leaders watching today, they will definitely try to win over Bai Qi. Bai Qi will be extremely valuable in the future. As for Lu Wuchen, who will care about him?"

"As long as the Bai family says a word, they will definitely suppress their family. The Duke Ji's Mansion can afford to provoke them, but that doesn't mean their family can afford to provoke them."

"He has offended the Bai family and Prince Gun... Lu Wuchen has no status in the Zhao family. I'm afraid he will really be abandoned by his family after today."

……

People were talking about it from all directions, and after hearing the last few sentences, Lu Wuchen was shocked and finally made a decision.

He adjusted his body, knelt on the ground, and finally lowered his head:

"Mr. Bai, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and forgive me!"

"I'm the real loser!"

After saying this, Lu Wuchen trembled all over, and his face looked as pale as death.

He knew he had messed with the wrong person.

When Bai Qi heard this, he burst into laughter.

Cool!

So cool!

It turns out that being the protagonist of a cool novel feels so good, it's much more comfortable than hiding in the back and writing the text.

"Hahaha, fine. A man of wisdom and insight is a wise man. I will reluctantly let you go today. But don't let me see you again. Get out of here, or I will never let you go."

"Let's go."

Bai Qi waved his hand and said bluntly.

"Thank you, sir."

Lu Wuchen didn't dare to say anything. He got up covered in dust and dirt, and ran away among the crowd.

With so many people watching, how could he have the face to stay here?

In the distance, Duke Xiao Ji and Lu Tiancheng looked extremely ugly.

Although Bai Qi was dealing with Lu Wuchen alone, it was like slapping two people in the face.

"This kid... is really vindictive!"

In the stands, the Great Yuan Imperial Master witnessed the whole process and shook his head and laughed.

"Haha, what's wrong with revenge? Do you want to let others ride on your head? I think this guy is a man of character. Not bad, not bad!"

Prince Gun laughed and said that the more he looked at this boy, the more he liked him.

The Great Yuan Imperial Master just smiled. He was just talking. This kid... is really good.

"Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir."

As soon as Lu Wuchen left, a group of figures immediately surrounded him, their eyes full of admiration.

Bai Qi laughed heartily and accepted everyone's compliments and admiration openly and calmly.

But suddenly, Bai Qi's heart skipped a beat, as if he sensed something, and immediately focused his attention on his body, which is the so-called spiritual restraint in the legend.

In just a moment, right between his eyebrows, Bai Qi suddenly discovered a golden shining ball of light the size of a grain of rice that he had never seen before.

——If he had not awakened his martial soul, his spiritual perception and strength would have been greatly improved, and he would not have been able to discover it with his previous strength.

Although it was just a ball of empty light the size of a grain of rice, it felt to Bai Qi as if it was real, like a heavy little lead ball.

Through the golden light, although it was hazy inside, Bai Qi felt that there was something inside.

"This is... a heavenly book?!"

Bai Qi's eyelids twitched, he recognized it instantly, and was greatly shocked.

He didn't expect that the heavenly book was actually between his eyebrows.

Moreover, after Bai Qi awakened his martial soul, he clearly felt that the connection with the Heavenly Book became closer and more intimate.

"Hey, there seem to be words appearing on the heavenly book..."

Just when Bai Qi was about to get to the bottom of it and find out the truth——

"boom!"

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded from the center of Wuhun Valley. Almost at the same time, a familiar voice sounded in Bai Qi's mind, and lines of text appeared before his eyes:

"The second round of life and death trial begins!"

"Host Bai Qi, you are proud and confident. Although you are looked down upon by everyone in the capital, you participated in the martial soul awakening ceremony without any concern. You have no reason. You just believe that you can obtain the legendary martial soul and embark on the road to the peak of martial arts. In fact, you succeeded."

"However, the place where the martial soul awakening ceremony was held is one of the passages between the human world and the other world, and it is also one of the weakest places in the world plane. With the help of someone with ulterior motives, the once sealed passage was opened, and the power of the dark side of the universe surged in."

"You never panicked, and never resigned yourself to your fate. You didn't believe in the so-called destiny. You thought you could turn the tide with your own strength and carve out a way for yourself and others in the chaos. You believed you would definitely succeed, but in the end... human power was ultimately powerless against the heavens and the earth. You ended up tragically buried in the belly of a ferocious beast, turning into a pile of bones and vanishing into thin air."

"You have paid the price for your arrogance. It turns out that... you are vulnerable. Your legendary journey has come to an end."
