Chapter 93: Fulfill Your Promise

"Senior Zheng, it's nice to see you again."

"I'm not at all happy to see you..." Zheng Yuanlin said silently in his heart, looking at Chu Nan displayed on the virtual screen of the personal terminal with a complicated expression, and finally turned into a smile.

"Chunan, congratulations on entering the semifinals. To be honest, your performance surprised me."

"Really?" Chunan laughed. "Is it an accident that I behaved well? Or did I behave badly?"

Seeing that Chunan was still in the mood for a joke, Zheng Yuanlin's mood was even more complicated.

Thinking of what he was about to say, he suddenly had the urge to turn off the communication immediately, unable to face Chu Nan.

However, after all, he had a wealth of experience, and instantly suppressed the complex emotions, but the smile on his face also faded.

"Uh... I think it's not bad, because I didn't expect you to be able to defeat several internal-level warriors one level higher in succession. Few of the hegemony-level warriors can achieve such a record."

"Really?" Hearing Zheng Yuanlin's personal praise, Chu Nan was even happier. "What about Venerable Mu Yutong? How does the old man feel about my performance?"

Zheng Yuanlin's eyes twitched slightly, thoughts turned in his mind, and finally he slowly shook his head.

"The teacher has been very busy during this time and did not pay much attention to this competition."

"oh oh……"

Chu Nan was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, Mu Yutong, as a star-level warrior, could never come to Xiyunxing just for the Xiyunxing warrior competition. There must be other important things involved. How could it be possible? Focus on yourself as a physique-level warrior.

Thinking this way, Chu Nan felt a little more relaxed, rolled his eyes, and asked the question that he cared about the most.

"Then...about the recommendation of Nebula Academy..."

Seeing the undisguised expectation on Chu Nan's face, Zheng Yuanlin sighed in his heart, knowing that he expected well, and Chu Nan really had an illusion in his heart.

He knew very well that at this time, the best thing to do for Chu Nan was to let him cut off this illusion.

However, doing this... really made Zheng Yuanlin feel a little unbearable.

Chu Nan was still excited at first, looking at Zheng Yuanlin with anticipation, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see Zheng Yuanlin's answer, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

After waiting for half a minute, Zheng Yuanlin remained silent and did not speak. Chu Nan's heart jumped, and he had a bad premonition.

"Senior Zheng? You... are you still there?"

Zheng Yuanlin took a light breath, his eyes focused on Chu Nan again, he pondered for a while, and asked, "Chun Nan, when I saw you before, how did you promise me?"

Chunan's heart skipped a beat.

"This...I promise you, to win the under-20 category..."

At the end, Chu Nan's voice became smaller and smaller.

If Maluk really shows the strength of the third-order internal interest rate tomorrow, he has no confidence to defeat him to enter the final and finally win the championship.

"Very good, it seems that you still remember the promise you made to me before." Zheng Yuanlin nodded. "The teacher is a person who takes commitment very seriously, so as long as you win the championship in the under-20 group as promised, then he will definitely give you a recommendation from Nebula Academy. But if you can't fulfill this commitment..."

Zheng Yuanlin did not continue to speak, but the meaning of the words has been very clear.

Chu Nan stared blankly at Zheng Yuanlin, groaning in his heart.

Mu Yutong is a star-level martial artist, so does he care so much about the casual remarks of a physique-level martial artist in his area?

Wasn't he tempted to recommend him to enter the Nebula Academy because he saw his martial arts talent?

Why did his attitude seem to have changed 180 degrees in just a few days?

However, the promise of "winning the championship under the age of 20" was made by himself in front of Zheng Yuanlin at that time. Now even if Mu Yutong insists on this point, he is unable to refute it.

Seeing that Chu Nan was speechless, Zheng Yuanlin sighed again in his heart, but he still kept his face expressionless.

"Chunan, I admit that you are a very talented young martial artist, but you also know that the teacher does not think that you can become a very powerful martial artist, and it is even less likely that you will become his disciple. So...you fulfill your promise, then The teacher will also fulfill his promise to you, and that's it. Do you understand what I mean?"

Chu Nan hesitated for a moment, then nodded blankly.

Looking at his appearance, Zheng Yuanlin hesitated for a while, turned off the communication, and sighed deeply.

He knew very well that it was very cold-hearted and ruthless to say such words to Chu Nan, but since the teacher has made up his mind, he, as a disciple, has no other choice.

At this time, it is better for him to be cruel to Chu Nan, but it can make him better recognize his position and not have unrealistic fantasies.

As for after...

The teacher has already determined that it is difficult for Chu Nan to achieve even a sky-breaking rank warrior, so he will at most be a fifth-order rank-level warrior in the future, not to mention that in the eyes of the teacher, a star-level warrior, he is nothing. From the point of view of this Heavenly Rank martial artist, it was nothing at all.

"I hope you will become an ordinary person in the future, and live your life in peace and stability."

After the last trace of kindness towards Chu Nan passed through his mind, Zheng Yuanlin shook his head and threw all the thoughts related to Chu Nan out of his mind.

###

Chu Nan stared blankly at the virtual screen of the personal terminal that had turned into a dark place, unable to react for a long time.

After being stiff for a while, Chu Nan's face revealed a wry smile full of self-deprecation, and he recovered.

The meaning of Zheng Yuanlin's words is very clear. If he can't win the championship in the under-20 group, then Mu Yutong will not give him the recommendation of Xingyun Academy.

For this, Chu Nan has nothing to criticize, because this promise was made by himself in front of Zheng Yuanlin at that time.

He just didn't expect that his performance in the game was already so good, and now Mu Yutong actually wants to compare it with him.

"Is this self-inflicted?" Chu Nan shook his head with a wry smile, and thought about it as he walked outside the practice ground.

Although Mu Yutong's message through Zheng Yuanlin seemed a little too inhumane, Chu Nan had no right to accuse it.

He was just a low-level, low-level physique-level martial artist who was not well-known before, and no one would take a second look if he was thrown into the crowd, but Mu Yutong was willing to give him a chance to recommend him to enter the Nebula Academy.

Now Mu Yutong asked him to fulfill his promise and win the championship in the under-20 group. Chu Nan had nothing to say and could only do his best to do it.

But... can he get past Maluk and win the final championship?

No one believed that Chu Nan would be able to advance by leaps and bounds in one day, defeating Maluk, an opponent who was very likely to have the strength of the third-order inner-level.

But Chunan knew that this possibility...maybe there is...
