Chapter 58: The cautious Gongsun Hao(1/2)
Seeing Liang Qiufan and the others coming up, Yu Wenxing then said, "This time you only have eleven people. In order to ensure that the number of people in each competition is enough and not more than one person comes out, I arranged a disciple from the outer door to come in."
Speaking of this, Yu Wenxing immediately said to a young man in coarse cloth in the crowd: "Mu Hongfei, come up too."
Hearing this, the young man in coarse cloth jumped with his legs and jumped directly to the round platform.
After seeing this young man, people immediately started to talk about it, and it would have a certain impact on this young man.
He is also a new disciple who has just started this year, but in the ring match, he just entered the selection line and then kept admitting defeat. He gave up all the games after the selection line.
And this person has just reached the lowest level of entry in the other two levels, namely the Demon-Induction Cave and the Tower of Heaven.
People actually have some doubts whether this guy was deliberately stuck at the lowest line. He has no interest in entering the inner door, but just to find a place with abundant spiritual energy to practice.
Since this guy has appeared again today, I might be able to see his true strength later. I just don’t know if he will give up on the losing side like he did during the trials.
After all the people participating in the competition arrived, Yu Wenxing immediately said: "Okay, start drawing lots now."
Speaking of this, Yu Wenxing took out a wooden box and asked Lu Chen and the others to draw the lottery number inside.
Lu Chen grabbed a piece of paper and opened it to take a look.
Liang Qiufan came over and asked, "Lu Chen, what number are you?"
Lu Chen replied: "No. 3."
Hearing this, Liang Qiufan smiled and said, "Fortunately, I didn't meet you in the first game."
Lu Chen said: "I didn't meet the first game, and I will also encounter it later."
This competition will be compared with eleven other people. Even if you don’t get the first round, you will encounter it later.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Liang Qiufan smiled and said, "Anyway, as long as I didn't meet you in the first game, I don't want to admit defeat in the first game."
Even the demon cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm could not hurt Lu Chen, he was just an immortal cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm. How could he be Lu Chen's opponent? Liang Qiufan still has self-knowledge.
Since he is not Lu Chen's opponent, he will definitely admit defeat when he meets Lu Chen and then save his strength to deal with the next opponent. However, it would be a bit embarrassing to admit defeat in the first game. Fortunately, he did not meet Lu Chen in the first game.
At this time, Yu Wenxing said: "Please ask the first group of disciples to come on stage, and the other disciples can go down."
After hearing this, Lu Chen and the others went down one after another, leaving behind the two of them in the first group of competitions.
The first group of competitions were Mu Hongfei and Ou Hongxuan. After seeing that he met Mu Hongfei in the first game, Ou Hongxuan immediately held the sword tightly.
This guy's strength is unfathomable, he must be careful. He rarely showed his strength when he was selecting his disciples. However, in the first few games of the ring matches of the disciples, he instantly defeated his opponents, which left a very profound impact on people at that time.
At this time, Yu Wenxing threw out several array talismans and created a huge barrier.
So many things happened when Lu Chen competed with others last time. In order to avoid another accident, it is necessary to protect the barrier.
After the barrier was created, Yu Wenxing glanced at Ou Hongxuan and Mu Hongfei, and then said, "The competition began!"
After the words came, Ou Hongxuan kicked his legs and stabbed Mu Hongfei with a sword.
When Ou Hongxuan's sword tip was about to stab Mu Hongfei, Mu Hongfei suddenly clenched his fist, and his body instantly burst out with a stream of spiritual power. Then he punched out, and his fist directly hit the tip of Ou Hongxuan's sword.
Although he used his physical body to fight the opponent's weapons head-on, Mu Hongfei's punch directly knocked Ou Hongxuan's sword to pieces. The next moment, Ou Hongxuan also flew out.
After Ou Hongxuan flew out, he felt stars appearing in his head. Although he was struggling to get up, he quickly fainted.
Mu Hongfei ended the competition with one move!
Seeing this scene, people were shocked. Ou Hongxuan was at least the top ten in the selection of disciples, but he was defeated with one punch. This is too exaggerated. Is Mu Hongfei so powerful?
Since he is so powerful, why don’t he perform well when selecting disciples? If he performed well at that time, then he would be an inner disciple now and might even become a personal disciple of a certain peak master.
This guy is really weird.
At this moment, Nangong Yunhe smiled and said to Wu Zhengyang, the master of the Shuangqing Peak, “Junior Brother Wu, this young man seems to be taking the path of body refining. I wonder if you are interested in him?”
Hearing this, Wu Zhengyang said in a rough voice: "Senior Brother, it's not that easy to be my disciple, unless he can rank in the top three in this competition."
Nangong Yunhe said with a smile: "Feeling at the strength he just showed, it doesn't seem difficult to get to the top three in this competition."
Wu Zhengyang said, "Then let's wait until the competition is over."
Speaking of this, Wu Zhengyang looked at Lu Chen in the distance and continued, "Compared to the boy just now, I am more interested in Lu Chen."
Hearing this, Nangong Yunhe felt a little confused. Wu Zhengyang didn't say he had taken Lu Chen as his disciple a month ago. Why did he suddenly become interested in him today?
At this moment, when Yu Wenxing saw Ou Hongxuan fall to the ground, he immediately came to him, checked his condition, and fed him a pill. Then Yu Wenxing asked someone to carry him down to rest.
After taking the pill, Ou Hongxuan was able to recover soon and would not delay his next competition.
Yu Wenxing said at this time:
"Ou Hongxuan vs. Mu Hongfei, Mu Hongfei wins!"
"Please come on the stage with the second group of disciples."
Hearing this, Liang Qiufan kicked his legs and jumped directly to the ring.
After Liang Qiufan jumped onto the ring, Ning Jian also jumped on.
Ning Jian said provocatively: "Liang Qiufan, it's all up to luck that you were able to defeat me last time. This time you didn't have such good luck."
Liang Qiufan and Lu Chen are relatively close, so many inner disciples don’t like Liang Qiufan, and Ning Jian is one of them.
Of course, most of the newly-entered inner disciples hate Lu Chen because they demonized Lu Chen because of Zhongli Wenshan's sow discord.
In addition, the Zhongli family has a very high status in the Seven Star Sect. Many disciples choose to be hostile to Lu Chen in order to curry favor with Zhongli Wenshan, although Lu Chen did nothing.
This kind of thing is very common. Even if you do nothing, you may accidentally offend someone who can't afford to offend at some moment.
Not everyone is open-minded. Sometimes it is just a communication between ordinary people. Some people will feel unhappy when they hear you say a few words.
In the past, when Lu Chen was in the divine realm, he didn't even say anything to others in order not to offend people. As a result, someone saw him alone and thought he was easy to bully, so he caused trouble for him.
However, Lu Chen now doesn't care whether others will cause trouble for him. When a person is strong to a certain extent, everything becomes unimportant in his eyes.
At this time, Liang Qiufan couldn't help but smile when he heard Ning Jian's words.
This Ning Jian doesn't seem to know his real method yet.
Seeing that both of them were ready, Yu Wenxing immediately said, "The competition begins!"
After the words came, Ning Jian swept towards Liang Qiufan with a sword, and a purple sword energy flew towards Liang Qiufan in an instant. Liang Qiufan did not dodge. He took out his cauldron and threw it in front of him. When the sword energy hit Liang Qiufan's cauldron, it exploded with a loud bang, but it did not cause any harm to him.
When people saw this tripod, they started to talk about it. This guy actually used the tripod as a weapon.
Judging from the spiritual energy emitted by this tripod, this should be a third-level spiritual weapon.
Liang Qiufan is worthy of being a child of the Liangqiu family. He is really rich and can easily take out a third-grade spiritual weapon.
After Liang Qiufan blocked Ning Jian's attack, he held one of the feet of the tripod with both hands, then raised the square tripod and smashed it directly at Ning Jian.
Seeing this scene, people were stunned. Is this square cauldron used in this way?
They thought this square cauldron could be used to trap people, but as a result, Liang Qiufan actually used the square cauldron to smash people. This was the first time people saw someone use the cauldron like this.
But then again, this also proves that Liang Qiufan has a lot of strength. Seeing this tripod is so huge, it is definitely not light, and Liang Qiufan can actually lift it up and smash people.
Liang Qiufan usually wears gorgeous clothes and looks like a young man. Unexpectedly, he has such great strength.
At this time, Ning Jian saw Liang Qiufan smashing the tripod directly, and he immediately dodged to the right.
Ning Jian thought to himself that although this guy looks very strong, the square tripod is so heavy after all, and it will definitely be very difficult for him to lift it up. It will definitely be more difficult to change the attack direction halfway.
In other words, Liang Qiufan's activities will definitely not be too flexible.
This is Liang Qiufan's weakness. He can grasp this weakness and keep moving at high speed and attacking continuously.
Thinking of this, Ning Jian kicked his legs and came to Liang Qiufan's right side, then stabbed Liang Qiufan with a sword.
At this moment, Liang Qiufan held the square tripod tightly and waved it, directly smashing Ning Jian away. The force of this attack was very strong, and Ning Jian flew out of the ring directly.
People were stunned. Liang Qiufan was too strong. He thought it would take him a lot of effort to raise this square cauldron, but this guy could easily wave the square cauldron with one hand.
Seeing Ning Jian flying out of the arena, Yu Wenxing immediately said: "Liang Qiufan vs. Ning Jian, Liang Qiufan wins!"
"Please come to the stage!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen slowly walked towards the ring.
Seeing Lu Chen in this scene, the disciples of the sect immediately opened their eyes wide.
This guy is the one who can enter the depths of the Demon-Inducing Cave and climb to the top of the Tower of Tongtian. Putting aside his spiritual roots, he can definitely be regarded as having outstanding talent.
However, this guy has never shown his strength. When the disciples competed last time, this guy easily won four games with his extraordinary luck. I don’t know if there will be so many problems this last time.
After seeing Lu Chen, Chang Yuanjie frowned slightly. Isn’t this guy the man who lived in the Grand Sister’s Loft last time?
He hadn't inquired about this person, and he didn't expect that this guy was actually an inner disciple.
At this time, Chang Yuanjie turned his head to look at Zong Zhengqing, and then asked, "Stern Junior Brother, is this young man a disciple under the elder?"
Zong Zhengqing replied, "Senior Brother, he has not yet become a disciple."
Hearing this, Chang Yuanjie was stunned for a moment. When he saw this person at Longguanfeng, this guy told him that he had not become a disciple. He didn't care at that time. In addition, after he came back from Longguanfeng, he was basically practicing, so he didn't ask about him. This guy was actually an inner disciple who had not become a disciple.
The inner disciples of the Seven Star Sect all have masters, otherwise they would not be able to become inner disciples. How did this guy become an inner disciple?
Chang Yuanjie continued to ask, "Didn't get a disciple of the master? Then why is he an inner disciple?"
Zong Zhengqing said: "When he was selecting his disciples, he entered the deepest part of the Demon-Inspiring Cave and climbed to the top of the Tower of Tongtian Tower, but he refused to become a disciple. He performed so well, so the leader retained his inner disciple's name and arranged him to Longguan Peak to follow Elder Gongsun."
