In the lounge of the Wizarding Academy, Shen Ze said bitterly: "I really have no choice."
Gao Jing sighed and replied, "Sorry."
He and Shen Ze haven't seen each other for a while. The relationship between the two parties is no longer what it used to be. It can be said that they are drifting apart.
This time Shen Ze suddenly came to him for help, and it was actually related to the Xiong family who had recently returned to the Capital of Kings!
Shen Ze is a descendant of the Shen family, and the Shen family is also one of the seventy-two aristocratic families.
It's just that among the seventy-two aristocratic families, the Shen family is at the bottom, and their strength and influence are not very strong.
Last time, Wu Shi suppressed Gao Jing for a seat in the Glorious Wizard Tower.
Because Gao Jing and Shen Ze jointly operated several stores, Ushi used Shen to force Shen Ze to give up cooperation with him.
At that time, Gao Jing understood this and did not blame Shen Ze.
But the friendship between the two inevitably weakened.
Now Shen is in trouble, big, big trouble!
They are very likely to lose their status as a Seventy-Two Family and their seats in the Supreme Council!
Just two days ago, the Lu family from the Capital of Kings submitted a challenge application to the Supreme Council.
The target of the challenge is none other than Mr. Shen!
There are hundreds of clans with surnames in the Capital of Kings, and the strongest ones are undoubtedly the Seventy-Two Aristocratic Families.
These seventy-two families belong to the upper class families.
There must be many more unpopular families, and the Lu family is one of them.
Although the Shen family is at the bottom of the seventy-two aristocratic families, it is still much better than the Lu family, which is not in the upper class.
Under normal circumstances, they are fully capable of dealing with the challenges from the Lu family.
Then give the other party a hard lesson!
The problem is that the Lu family didn’t suddenly find trouble with the Shen family. Behind it is the Xiong family!
Compared to the Xiong family, which has two legends and the support of a saint, the Shen family's strength is far behind.
The Lu family challenged the Shen family under the instructions of the Xiong family!
In fact, the Shen family is not the only one who is in trouble. So far, the Supreme Council has received nine applications. Nine wealthy families have been challenged by families who are not wealthy!
This is an unprecedented situation. All nine challenging families have the support of the Xiong family. The latter does not hide his ambitions at all and is also a provocation to the Supreme Council.
Once they are successfully challenged, several seats in the Supreme Council will change hands.
Not only does Xiong want to enter the upper echelons of the Capital of Kings, he also wants to bring a bunch of younger brothers to sit in the highest council!
The most important thing is that no one knows how many seats in the Supreme Council are needed to satisfy Xiong's ambition.
Shen didn't think too much about it, now they were like ants on a hot pot.
Many worshipers in the family left without saying goodbye, and one of them even joined the Xiong family.
Several allies of the Shen family avoided seeking help from the Shen family, and there was another family that was also the target of the challenge. It was absolutely impossible to send elite strong men to help the Shen family.
Under the tremendous pressure from the Xiong family, the family showed signs of falling apart even before the Shen family responded!
In desperation, Shen Zecai approached Gao Jing.
According to the rules, Shen, who has not been challenged in recent years, cannot refuse Lu's challenge.
The two families will compete in the battle arena of the Ten Thousand Witches Palace in seven days.
The strong will win, the weak will retreat, and whoever wins will get a seat on the Supreme Council!
Without a seat in the council, naturally he is not qualified to join the seventy-two aristocratic families.
By then, Shen's status will plummet, and the impact will be immeasurable.
Being forced to withdraw from the Capital of Kings is very possible.
Shen Ze hopes that Gao Jing can represent the Shen family to fight against the challenge from the Lu family.
But how could Gao Jing agree to such a request?
He originally had a good relationship with Shen Ze, but it was just a personal relationship and had no relationship with the Shen family.
Why do you want to take chestnuts out of the fire for the Shen family?
Moreover, Huo Yan had previously warned not to get involved in the fights between aristocratic families easily.
Gao Jing is so full that he can go out into the muddy water this time?
He was actually quite unhappy with Shen Ze's request, but he didn't show any shame because of his face.
"The Great Witch of Gao Jing."
Shen Ze also knew that it was impossible to get Gao Jing to help by talking in vain.
He gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you are willing to fight, we will give you a totem soul crystal!"
"Totem Soul Crystal?"
Gao Jing was taken aback: "You're not joking, are you?"
The Totem Soul Crystal is not an ordinary thing. It is an inherited treasure condensed by legendary powerhouses and can be used to enhance the rank of the original totem!
After ordinary people awaken to become extraordinary beings, they can have a primitive totem tattooed on their bodies as the foundation of their power.
Unlike the Source Totem, the original totem cannot be replaced once it is activated.
But it can increase the level of the totem and inspire stronger power!
Gao Jing's original totem was the Giant Spirit Totem, which was later upgraded to the Dragon Elephant Totem, which greatly increased its power.
It's just that it is extremely difficult to upgrade the original totem, and the requirements for extraordinary people are extremely high. Strength, perseverance and luck are all indispensable.
Totem soul crystals can greatly increase the probability of the original totem being upgraded, and even if the promotion fails, it can enhance the strength and cultivation of the extraordinary person, which is a truly priceless treasure.
The problem is that totem soul crystals are extremely rare, and a legendary strongman can only condense one in his lifetime.
Usually it is refined with temporary preparation, but it may not be successful!
Gao Jing knew about the Totem Soul Crystal, but he never expected that the Shen family would actually offer him such a high price.
"No!"
Shen Ze said: "This totem soul crystal was passed down from our ancestors and has never been used. There is really no other way this time. If the seat on the Supreme Council cannot be saved, there is no use keeping it."
Totem Soul Crystals are useful to legendary strong men. The problem is that the Shen family does not have legendary strong men.
Of course, the extraordinary beings, great warriors and great wizards under the legend can also be used, but it is obviously wasted.
In recent years, the Shen family has never produced any outstandingly talented children.
Therefore, the totem soul crystal has been passed down to this day, otherwise it would have been used long ago.
If it hadn't been for an existential crisis this time, the Shen family would definitely not have taken it out.
After understanding the reason, Gao Jing did not agree in a hurry, but asked: "Why are you looking for me? If you have this totem soul crystal, there are many people who are willing to help you fight, right?"
Shen Ze smiled bitterly and said, "They can offend the Lu family, but they can't offend the Xiong family."
This is the key!
Gao Jing is different, he has no family ties, he is Huo Yan's disciple, and his own strength is even more powerful.
He is the best person to deal with Lu's challenge!
"Two games!"
Shen Ze raised two fingers and said: "As long as you help us win two games, this totem soul crystal will be yours!"
