Chapter 180: Shining Brightly (Part Three)

  "How about it, Mr. Roge? Are you satisfied with our performance?"

  King Rhein asked again.

  Among the people present, there were a few who knew Roge's identity and were not surprised by King Rhein's attitude. However, the vast majority did not know who Roge was and began to feel curious.

  Who exactly was this fat man?

  This was the speculation in many people's minds.

  The face of the Cabo Empire's king stiffened slightly. The performance of his own country just now was like child's play compared to the Rhein Empire's performance, far too unrefined. But he masked his feelings very well and also asked, "Mr. Roge, are you satisfied?"

  Roge smiled slightly and said, "Hmm, not bad."

  "Just not bad?"

  Some people from the Rhein Empire in the VIP seats began to feel dissatisfied. Such a splendid performance was merely described as "not bad."

  "Our Rhein Empire's performance is much better than that of the Cabo Empire."

  A beautiful woman whispered.

  "Exactly."

  Another person agreed.

  "Hehe, alright, that's enough. Let's drink, ah, drink, haha."

  King Rhein raised his glass to toast the VIPs in the hall.

  Everyone lifted their glasses, smiling broadly.

  "Wait!"

  Just as everyone was about to toast with the kings, an incongruous voice suddenly rang out.

  A large fat man stood up from the crowd on the right.

  The fat man held his glass, tilted his head, and said with a mocking tone, "I wonder, what outstanding performance does the Monte Empire have for us to enjoy?"

  As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell silent.

  "Why is this person so harsh?"

  "Exactly, knowing that the Monte Empire is now dependent on others, where do they have the mood and time to rehearse a performance? They don't even have their own home."

  "Exactly, isn't this rubbing salt in the wound? This person's quality is too low."

  Some people with a sense of justice spoke out against the fat man. Clearly, in their eyes, this action was very undignified.

  Seeing that the fat man was from his own country, King Rhein's face immediately became stern, and he reprimanded softly, "You know the situation of the Monte Empire. How can you say such disrespectful words? You're really embarrassing our Rhein Empire. Sit down!"

  The fat man, seeing that the king had spoken, muttered a few dissatisfied words and reluctantly sat back down.

  This little interlude happened so abruptly, but it indeed drew everyone's attention to Maren.

  Maren's eyelids twitched slightly, and he stood up, holding his glass, sighed lightly, and said, "I'm really sorry, everyone. I'll penalize myself with three drinks!"

  Murmurs quietly spread among the crowd. There were taunts, sympathies, and some who were just there for the excitement.

  "This time, the Monte Empire has really lost face. Hehe."

  A sharp-tongued woman said from directly opposite Han Ming. Her voice was not loud, but it was very clear to Han Ming's ears.

  At this moment, Maren embarrassedly penalized himself three drinks, his face flushed red. Those in the know understood that Maren was using alcohol to cover up his helplessness. That flushed face was certainly not the blush caused by drunkenness.

  "Who said the Monte Empire has no performance?"

  A clear female voice suddenly rang out, its penetrating power immediately suppressing all the murmurs in the hall.

  People turned their heads to see Han Ming stepping into the open space.

  "Han Xiaoyou..."

  Maren's body trembled slightly, looking at Han Ming gratefully. Maren knew something about Han Ming's strength. In fact, in terms of attack power, Han Ming was probably at the top of the list among magicians, at least among the students. This did not include those famous magicians or the guys from the Magic Guild. But the current situation was that the performances of the two countries clearly leaned towards the control of magical power and the perception of elements. Han Ming might not be very proficient in this.

  However, Han Ming was confident. Who could surpass him in elemental perception? The amount of magical power circulating within his body was dozens of times that of an ordinary person.

  "Isn't that the girl who has been following King Maren?"

  Some people immediately recognized Han Ming's identity.

  "Han Miss, go for it!!"

  Berryman stood up happily and cheered, a gesture that stood out from the crowd.

  "Sit down! What are you doing?!" King Rhein felt embarrassed by his useless son.

  Berryman muttered a few words, reluctantly sat back down, and whispered at the end, "Come on!"

  "Hehe, is Han boy finally going to show his hand? I'm really looking forward to it."

  Chaladton saw Han Ming come out and immediately perked up.

  "Since you are willing to perform for the Monte Empire, then please begin."

  King Rhein smiled and gestured.

  Han Ming nodded with a smile.

  "I'll borrow everyone's drinks for a moment."

  Han Ming said respectfully, lifting his right hand slightly.

  Instantly, the water in all the VIPs' glasses rose simultaneously from their cups. Hundreds of streams of wine coiled and gathered in front of Han Ming, forming a huge water ball.

  "Let's go."

  Han Ming said to the demon soul within him.

  Han Ming had planned this move, to have the demon soul help him complete a spectacular performance.

  This demon soul had its own independent consciousness and, being a water spirit, had an innate control over water elements. No human could surpass her in this regard.

  Combined with Han Ming's super-sensitive magical perception, the two working together would undoubtedly be invincible.

  Han Ming's magical power detached from his body, separating a part of the huge water ball in front of him. This part then split into two, forming two elongated oval water balls.

  Han Ming's ten fingers in the air continuously changed shape, and the two oval water balls immediately twisted.

  The two water balls rapidly writhed and transformed into two blurred human figures in front of everyone.

  "It's your turn."

  Han Ming said in his heart.

  The demon soul's magical power also detached from her body, further sculpting the two blurred figures.

  The VIPs held their breath, carefully watching the scene before them.

  The two blurred figures gradually revealed their general outlines.

  "It's a man and a woman!"

  Someone shouted first, recognizing this.

  The demon soul, being a water spirit, relied on her innate control over water elements to gradually carve the two blurred figures into a male and female water person. The woman had a delicate and gentle appearance, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at the man in front of her. She moved her steps lightly and slowly approached the man. Her soft and affectionate face was indescribably tender. Those who paid attention noticed that every detail of the woman's attire and facial features was meticulously crafted.

  Every strand of hair, every eyelash was so vivid, her large watery eyes blinked a few times, touching the heart of every man present.

  The male water person had a handsome face with sharp, chiseled features, exuding a manly tenderness.

  The male and female water persons moved closer to each other, their hands tightly clasped, their eyes deeply gazing into each other's, reflecting only each other's reflections in their eyes.

  This kind of tender, sincere emotion was vividly portrayed by the demon soul. It was her observation of Han Ming and Ku Luo's interactions over the days, capturing what she saw in them—two people with naive yet purest emotions.

  "Praise my goddess of life!! He actually carved out their expressions too!!"

  "My goodness, this is unbelievable!! This is simply a masterpiece!!"

  The demon soul was not Han Ming's beast soul, and the magical power she used all came from Han Ming, so people could not distinguish that the two water persons were created by Han Ming and the demon soul together.

  "I really didn't expect..." Valerie looked at the two affectionate water persons and couldn't help but sigh.

  "So touching..."

  "I'm reminded of my first love... Back then, we were so innocent and pure. Before we were defeated by the world, our feelings were so pure, just like these two water persons, so clear and untainted."

  Some of the more sentimental VIPs had already begun to tear up.

  Everyone, at least once, has had a deep and unforgettable love. This love is free of materialism, class distinctions, and everything else, consisting only of purity and naivety.

  These two water persons awakened many people's deeply buried, never-wanted-to-be-touched pain in their hearts.

  "Are you okay?" Han Ming worried about the demon soul, who had carved every body part of the two water persons as if they were human, consuming unimaginable energy.

  The demon soul smiled lightly, "Did you forget what I am? I am a water spirit, born from water itself. I am water, and water is me. I don't even need to mobilize much magical power to complete such a work."

  Hearing the demon soul say this, Han Ming was somewhat relieved.

  "Then, let's continue," Han Ming said softly.

  The two water persons held each other's hands tightly, without kissing or hugging, only gazing into each other's eyes, a sentiment so pure it could be described as somewhat simple-minded.

  While everyone was immersed in their own emotional world.

  The other water ball began to slowly swell, dividing into dozens of small, exquisite water balls.

  One by one, lovely animals and towering trees sprang up, placing the two water persons in a tranquil and peaceful forest.

  "Let's go!"

  Han Ming called out softly, waving his right hand. The wine jugs on the tables in the hall gently shook, and more wine flowed from all directions.

  A large amount of wine gathered into an even larger water ball and quickly divided into countless oval water balls.

  The demon soul cast spells repeatedly, and these small water balls immediately began to wriggle, eventually transforming into hardworking farmers.

  Some farmers were working in the fields, some were resting under the trees, and a few elders were telling their children magical and fascinating stories. But all of this was silent; what stories they were telling was entirely up to the audience's imagination. Everyone, when they were young, had heard beautiful stories that made their hearts beat faster, some about love, some about heroes.

  Silent stories not only did not bring regret but instead added endless memories for the audience.
