Wang Jiaojiao beamed with joy and raised her glass to toast Zuo Yi: "Thank you for your teaching. You owe more than half of my victory today. I'd like to toast you!"
In the preliminary round of the Martial Arts Alliance Hangzhou Division held this morning at the Xixi Martial Arts Arena, Wang Jiaojiao defeated her opponent with one sword and won her first victory. She was so happy that she specially invited Zuo Yi, Shang Yulin and Baoer to have dinner together at noon.
And Sun Qiang.
Sun Qiang was not as lucky as Wang Jiaojiao. Although his opponent was not very strong, he overwhelmed Sun Qiang in both swordsmanship and combat experience. He lost the game after only two rounds.
This means that Sun Qiang stopped in the preliminary round and was eliminated.
Well, this is one of the reasons why classmate Wang Jiaojiao is so proud.
Zuo Yi was dumbfounded, slapped Wang Jiaojiao on the forehead with his finger, and said, "When you win the championship, come and tell me these words again!"
After just winning a preliminary round, you are so proud that you are like this. Are you really embarrassed?
"Well…"
Wang Jiaojiao suddenly shrank like a deflated rubber ball. She lowered her head, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
"Sister Jiaojiao."
Bao'er, who was sitting next to Wang Jiaojiao, was sympathetic, shook her arm and said, "You are already very powerful."
When she saw Wang Jiaojiao winning earlier, the little girl almost screamed and became hoarse.
Cheer for her. Cheer for her.
"Really?"
Wang Jiaojiao immediately recovered 99% of her health and said with a smile: "Bao'er is still the best."
Zuo Yi glanced at her - was this a sneak peek that said I was bad?
Classmate Jiaojiao has a strong desire to survive: "I know that you are also good for me, Master. I will redouble my efforts and keep up the good work!"
Zuo Yi burst into laughter, picked up the champagne glass and clinked it with her: "It's good to know that your victory in this game mainly depends on luck. You must not be arrogant and complacent because of this. There are too many people better than you."
Wang Jiaojiao's opponent was only slightly stronger than her, but she lost due to carelessness and bad luck. If she had played steadily, Wang Jiaojiao would have basically had no chance of winning.
But Wang Jiaojiao has made very obvious progress after studying in the past six months, so Zuo Yi still gave a few words of encouragement.
Wang Jiaojiao said obediently: "Thank you, Master."
"Don't be discouraged..."
Zuo Yi said to the dejected Sun Qiang: "It takes ten years to sharpen a sword, and your sword has just begun to be sharpened. If you lose this year, come back next year. There will be many opportunities in the future."
"Um!"
Sun Qiang nodded vigorously.
The little fat man lost a bit miserably, so he was hit a bit hard, but his personality was still quite cheerful, so he quickly recovered his mood and started talking and laughing.
In fact, in addition to Wang Jiaojiao and Sun Qiang, seven other students from the Tianhong Martial Arts Gym also participated in the first day of preliminary competition. Five of them defeated their opponents and successfully advanced to the next round.
This put Shang Yulin in a good mood, and he and Zuo Yi drank several glasses of champagne.
The ranking and record in the martial arts league competition are the most solid honors for a martial arts gym. Her biggest wish is to enter the top 100 in the country. Because she lost the qualification, she has high hopes for the students.
Leaving aside the three students who advanced directly to the finals, Shang Yulin actually hopes that someone can stand out in the sub-division and enter the national finals step by step.
Half a year ago, she would not have dared to have such an idea, but now the Tianhong Martial Arts Gym has trained a group of elite students who specialize in Hongwu boxing. Although they have not been around for a long time and their background is not deep, they still have great potential!
After having enough wine and food, Zuo Yi took out two mountain fruits from the space ring and shared them with everyone.
He used a dagger to cut through the tough peel, then cut the yellow flesh into small pieces and put them on the fruit plate for everyone to poke and eat with toothpicks.
“Very sweet!”
Wang Jiaojiao tasted it first, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "It tastes good!"
Sun Qiang quietly stuffed two pieces into his mouth, and then nodded desperately - it was so delicious!
"Um."
Shang Yulin took a bite and expressed his serious agreement, and was curious: "What kind of fruit is this?"
"I don't know what it's called either..."
Zuo Yi said: "If you like it, you can take two of them back."
There were hundreds of them stored in his space ring, and he immediately took out a few more and gave them to Wang Jiaojiao and Sun Qiang.
Everyone has long been accustomed to Zuo Yi's method of "making something out of nothing."
Zuo Yi did not give it to Shang Yulin, but sent another basket to her home later.
"Thank you, Master!"
Wang Jiaojiao hugged the mountain fruit with a smile on her face and said, "I'll take it back and give it to my parents to try."
"Sister Jiaojiao, brother Xiaoqiang..."
Bao'er quickly said: "After you finish eating the fruit, remember to leave the core for me. Don't throw it away."
"ah?"
Wang Jiaojiao was puzzled: "Why do you need to keep the core?"
"Because I want to plant trees."
The little girl replied seriously: "When the fruit trees grow up, we will be able to eat more fruits in the future."
Wang Jiaojiao smiled: "That's great, I promise to keep all the cores."
Sun Qiang raised his hand: "Don't worry, little junior sister!"
In fact, the two of them only thought that Bao'er wanted to plant fruit trees with fruit cores for fun, but they didn't know that she really had the ability to catalyze the cultivation of plants.
Zuo Yi was thoughtful.
It’s a good idea for the little girl to have such an idea. The question is, can the species in the trial space be planted on Blue Star and survive?
Because the laws of the world are different, the probability of successful transplantation of species from different worlds is extremely low. Only the tower wizards can cultivate and survive with the help of special magic circles in their own laboratories.
Of course, this also basically prevents the occurrence of invasion by alien creatures.
"dad…"
Bao'er took Zuo Yi's hand and whispered to him: "I will plant the fruit core when I go back."
"good."
Zuo Yi would definitely not refuse the little girl's small request.
After finishing the meal, everyone went their separate ways.
Wang Jiaojiao and Sun Qiang went home respectively. Shang Yulin returned to Xixi Martial Arts Arena to continue watching the afternoon game. Zuo Yi took Bao'er to his new home in the city first, and then teleported directly to Baoshu through the indoor teleportation array.
"Gah!"
The two of them had just teleported into the tree house when a loud cry suddenly came from next to them: "Bao'er!"
It was Parrot Pipi who called the little girl.
When Zuo Yi was surprised, Gao Gaipi was not just a bird staying here. There were actually more than a dozen colorful parrots of various sizes surrounding him.
There are tiger skins like it, crested heads, chicken tails, scarlet breasts and even king kongs!
These beautiful parrots stood on high and low branches, surrounding Pipi like stars and the moon, which made Zuo Yi feel weird no matter how he looked at them.
"Pippi..."
Bao'er didn't think too much and smiled and stretched out her little hand to Pippi.
Pippi immediately flew over and landed on her palm, lowered his head and rubbed her wrist, looking extremely intimate.
But this scene made all the parrots scream noisily!
