"Nonsense!" Zhao Manyan said, speechless.
"Look at his innate talent and his forbidden techniques, how could he not be attractive?"
Lü Cheng's performance in the competition has exceeded expectations, but it has remained within the rules. This has led the competition committee to discuss future rule restrictions on Lü Cheng's participation in events.
However, it is highly likely that Lü Cheng will be prohibited from using forbidden techniques that are not known to the public, especially the two large-scale summons he launched during the treasure hunt.
The first wave of dark creatures was alright. Although their numbers were large, they were all at the warrior level. Moreover, those dark creatures were particularly sensitive to light magic, so high-level light mages could handle them relatively easily.
Of course, this only applies to light-element mages.
But the subsequent large-scale "Dragon Tide Summoning" completely blew up the entire treasure-hunting space!
Hundreds of commander-level sub-dragons created a suffocating atmosphere, as if one were in the heart of a demon empire, with dragon breath filling the sky!
Let alone high-level mages, even super-level mages would be dumbfounded in the face of such a scene!
"Of course, it's not exactly a gift. After all, a handsome man with unparalleled talent, extraordinary strength, a kind personality, and an outrageously powerful background is incredibly attractive to girls..." Zhao Manyan paused.
"I really can't find a woman who can match him."
Jiang Shaoxu's face darkened.
So you're saying I'm not good enough for him?
"I don't know about other things, but as of now, the Victoria Clan has officially announced its support for the two of them to further their relationship," Zhao Manyan said.
"You could think of them as people who came to steal men."
Lu Cheng's information in China has been thoroughly investigated by these people, starting from Bocheng, then Shanghai, and finally Beijing. From his personal interests to every aspect of his daily life, his father is filled with resentment, wondering why he isn't a woman!
"Speaking of which... where is the captain?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"I haven't seen him since the treasure hunt ended."
“He went to Athens,” Jiang Shaoxu said.
"Where is he going to do?" Zhao Manyan asked, puzzled.
"He said he was going to see the Goddess Election Ceremony. He asked me if I wanted to go, but I said I needed to go into seclusion to cultivate, so he went by himself," Jiang Shaoxu said.
Zhao Manyan's eye twitched slightly. "As expected of him."
The period after the treasure hunt should have been crucial for improving his strength, but instead, Lü Cheng went out to play.
However, there's no room for him to improve his strength anymore; he's already at the high-level, fully-cultivated stage.
"Could he be interested in the goddesses of Parthenon?" Zhao Manyan wondered.
Holy crap! That's possible!
Given Lü Cheng's current background and strength, if we were to compare him to anyone, besides the Victorian clan, only Parthenon would be a match.
Moreover, Lü Cheng is a retail investor and has no affiliation in the country.
"Alright, alright, where did you take this topic?" Nan Jue interrupted.
“He contacted me yesterday. He can’t come back for the next few days, so we’ll have to play the next two rounds of the competition ourselves.”
"We can fight ourselves, we have five commanders in our team now, so it's no big deal," Zhao Manyan said without any pressure.
Mo Fan's Flaming Demon Dragon has officially been promoted to Commander thanks to the funds he has gained during this period and the resources he has received from the Treasure Hunt. Mu Nujiao's Storm Demon Dragon is the same. In addition, Mu Ningxue's Ice Dragon Commander, Jiang Shaoxu's Dark Moon Demon Dragon, the four high-bloodline sub-dragons, and Jiang Yu's Night Rakshasa have also been promoted to Commander. With five Commanders standing on the field, isn't this a piece of cake?
“That’s not necessarily true,” Nan Jue said.
"Yalong isn't invincible either. If the opponent finds a way to counter us, we'll have a hard time too. Team matches are all about teamwork; just piling on firepower won't work. Besides, you're not planning to coast through such an important match, are you?"
“Uh…” Zhao Manyan looked embarrassed.
"Isn't it because someone's carrying me?"
Why bother with C when you can lie down?
……
The competition among universities is fierce, and so is the election of the Parthenon goddess.
Since Andre did not commit suicide, Parthenon remains the most popular candidate in the current election campaign.
"The people of the Holy Tribunal have recently surrounded Athens. You should know why, right?"
On the sacred mountain, in Asha's room.
Lu Cheng lay there as if he were in his own home, oblivious to everyone around him.
"What do you know? Do you think I can stop them from going wherever they want?" Lu Cheng yawned.
“Esendel is here, isn’t he?” Asharea asked with certainty.
The Holy Tribunal's influence extends throughout the world. Eisendall appeared in Venice before the Holy City delivered its final judgment, but then vanished without a trace.
In this situation, either he is dead, or he has been hidden away.
The Arbitration Council's arrest warrants are world-class; no country or magical force dares to protect them. Anyone targeted by the arrest warrant can make a considerable fortune, even for a high-level mage, by providing just a little information.
But Eisendall has been missing for so long without a trace, and the people of the Holy Inquisition have begun to move closer to Athens, so it is only possible that they have narrowed down their search area.
I think Essendel made one of the craziest decisions in the world; he hid himself in this massive election.
"Do you want to become a goddess?" Lu Cheng asked.
“Not really interested,” Asha'ruya said.
She had no interest in the position of goddess, nor in Parthenon; everything she had done over the years was for self-preservation, to survive from that madwoman, Izsa.
She didn't want to end up like this, but she had no other choice.
Izsa will not let any threat go unpunished, including those who were once her allies; the downfall of Essendel is enough to illustrate this point.
"Then what do you want?" Lu Cheng asked curiously.
"Tell me about it, and I'll see if I can help you achieve it."
Asha's expression turned strange. "You want to cause trouble in Parthenon?"
When Lü Cheng started changing the subject, it meant that this guy had ulterior motives.
"Answer my question first, what do you want?" Lu Cheng asked.
“Maintain the status quo,” Asha'ruya said.
"I've gotten used to this kind of life. If there's a sudden big change, I think I won't be able to get used to it."
"To put it bluntly, you still can't let go of the past." Lü Cheng sat up.
“Aren’t you the same?” Asha Ruya said.
“It’s different,” Lü Cheng said.
Whether I can let go depends on whether you can let go.
Asha'er sat down. "Are you still angry?"
“A little.” Lü Cheng leaned against Asha’s leg.
"I thought I was no longer angry, but after returning here, I suddenly realized that my anger was not so easy to quell."
"Are you jealous? Jealous of a dead person?"
"Don't even mention dead people, I'm jealous of dogs. I'm far more petty, calculating, and vengeful than you imagine."
"Then why didn't you report it? Don't say it's because of me. I already saw through you, you bastard, after what happened with the Black Dragon Emperor."
"Because it's troublesome. Revenge takes time and effort, but I get nothing in return. It's too much of a loss. In comparison, I'd rather lie in a chair and sunbathe."
"Then what are you doing now?"
"Look at the mountains."
"You still want to see the water, don't you?"
"It's not..."
"roll!"
"Rolling in the sheets?"
"Beast!"
"I am."

Chapter 227. Three-Way Battle
227.
……
"I just went out for a walk, and you all lost?"
Lu Cheng looked at his teammates, who were all seriously injured, with a strange expression.
"No, you didn't see the Egyptian team. Those undead were popping up like they were free, and each wave was stronger than the last! I really thought you ran to the other side!" Zhao Manyan started ranting.
