There is no Jiazi in the mountains, and the monks have no years, and in the blink of an eye, half a load has passed.

In half a year, Mao Rui participated in nearly ten battles, large and small, all of which were competitions officially assigned by the rankings, and none of them were private appointments.

This is not to say that no one has made an appointment with Mao Rui, on the contrary, as the news spread that Mao Rui had just arrived in the imperial capital, one person fought eight people alone and won, and the people who privately made an appointment with Mao Rui could not be counted with two hands and two feet.

Among the people who made appointments, Mao Yuan was the most diligent, and he alone accounted for half of the total number of battles.

But these appointments were rejected by Mao Rui without exception.

In this regard, many Mao people were puzzled, and Mao Zhe even inquired about Mao Rui in private, and the answer he got from Mao Rui made Mao Zhe stand in place for a long time.

In Mao Rui's original words: "My time is so precious, I don't know how to pay for the battle, why should I fight with them?"

In this way, many young heroes in the Xiuzhen world asked Mao Rui to fight with their empty hands, and then they were ruthlessly rejected by Mao Rui, which lasted for half a year.

Because they couldn't make an appointment to fight Mao Rui for a long time, except for Mao Yuan, everyone slowly lost interest.

As for Mao Yuan, Mao Rui didn't even bother to give him a ruthless refusal, and stubbornly ignored Mao Yuan's clamour.

once commented that Mao Rui was a slippery elder, and mentioned to Mao Rui that this kind of fighting between peers, as long as the difference in strength is not too big, can improve the combat experience very well.

Mao Rui was not a stubborn person either, and followed the elder's guidance.

Although he still refuses to ask anyone to fight, he gives his opponent the most basic respect in the official competition of the leaderboard.

In any competition, whether it is a blood guard or a firearm, as long as it is similar to a plug-in, Mao Rui does not use it, it all depends on his own strength.

If the opponent is a big difference in strength, Mao Rui will also deliberately suppress the strength and strive to be on par with the opponent.

In this way, no matter who the opponent is, under Mao Rui's intention, he can fight with Mao Rui for a long time.

In the eyes of outsiders, it created the illusion that Mao Rui's strength was no more than this.

Some people questioned the untruthfulness of the rumors that Mao Rui was one against eight. There are even some self-righteous people who spread the 'truth' about Mao Rui's refusal to fight, saying that the reason why Mao Rui refused was because his own strength was too poor and he was afraid of being embarrassed.

For a while, the gossip about Mao Rui suddenly started, and there were all kinds of ugly words, and all kinds of ugly words continued to enter the ears of the Mao people.

Mao Rui didn't say anything about this, what should he do every day, and he still chose to refuse the appointment of outsiders without appearance fees.

The scolding of Mao Rui lasted for a month, and it was completely over after a battle officially arranged by the leaderboard.

It was a battle between Mao Rui and Sanxiu Xiang Bai, who was the burly man who looked very anxious.

Although Xiang Bai is a casual cultivator, his reputation is not at all weak for the children of any big forces, and he is recognized as a member of the top ten on the list.

When everyone thought that the rumor that Mao Rui was one against eight would be completely exposed in front of Xiang Bai, the main master, the result of the game was a slap in the face to everyone who was not optimistic about Mao Rui.

In that battle, the two did not use any magic weapons, spiritual weapons, or cast any spells, and fought with the power of their bodies.

Xiang Bai, who was strong in the eyes of others, was suppressed by Mao Rui from head to tail, and before the bronze skeleton that Mao Rui incarnated, he did not have the slightest strength to fight back, and after being seriously injured and unconscious, he was transported away by Buddhist disciples with magic weapons.

It was also at this moment that everyone understood the reason why Mao Rui's previous battles were not very strong, but he was still able to fight for a long time.

It's not that Mao Rui has that strength, but Mao Rui suppresses his own strength and keeps it on par with his opponent.

Only when you encounter a truly powerful opponent will you reveal your full strength.

From then on, all negative words about Mauri disappeared, and the number of people who fought again increased. And more people are looking forward to meeting Mao Rui in the ranking competition.

It was Mao Rui's approach that aroused everyone's favor.

A powerful monk who suppresses his strength to the point of being about the same as you, and fights with you for a long time, has greatly improved his combat experience.

This kind of treatment, even if the Tianjiao in his own clan, rarely has the opportunity to be treated like this by his elders.

And Mao Rui did this, which naturally made many people overjoyed, in this world, how many monks don't want to be stronger?

But for the war, as long as it is gratuitous, Mao Rui chose to refuse, which disappointed many young monks.

In fact, if you want to talk about disappointment, Mao Rui is the most disappointed.

Originally, the monk who was still thinking of which shameless point made a very excessive request, and used spirit stones to lure/confuse Mao Rui and let Mao Rui fight him.

It's a pity that these monks are so kind, and for months, no one has had such shameless thoughts.

And this kind of thing, Mao Rui himself is not easy to say, and in the end, he can only refuse them all.

One day half a year after Mao Rui left the portal space, the state side and the four ancient hidden world cultivation forces jointly issued an announcement to the world.

The content of the announcement is very short, just one sentence: the monk has found a way to leave the earth.

It was this announcement that caused the entire cultivation world to be in a big sensation again after Mao Rui exposed the existence of the monk in front of mortals.

It was this announcement that cultivators from various countries around the world and many cultivation systems had sent strong people to step into the land of the cultivation realm.

It is also this announcement that some old guys who have not appeared in the eyes of the world for dozens or hundreds of years have come out of the deep mountains and old forests under the notice of their juniors or friends.

The ranking of the younger generation in the cultivation realm also entered a suspension after this announcement came out.

Mao Rui, the only Mao tribesman present who had been to the location of the portal, took all the Mao people to the place of the gateway at the request of the two elders.

This matter is very important, and it is related to the fate of all cultivators, so it must be confirmed clearly.

When Mao Rui came to the imperial capital from the location of the portal, it took three days, but under the leadership of the two elders, it only took one day.

The dense forest outside the portal space has been cleared out of an empty clearing at some point.

At a glance, the figures above the clearing were longing, mostly the heads of many forces in the cultivation realm.

Among them, there are several gray-haired and old-looking old men, Mao Rui has a sense of horror just by looking at them with the naked eye.

Even in the face of Mao Yihong's five people, Mao Rui has never felt this way, at most he feels a little shocked.

I couldn't help but guess in my heart the strength of these old men who looked like they were about to die.

It stands to reason that under the constraints of the earth's environment, Mao Yihong's five-person Jin Dan's consummate cultivation should be the pinnacle.

But these old people give Mao Rui the feeling that they are only stronger than Mao Yihong and the five people.

Just when Mao Rui was suspicious in his heart, Mao Yihong had already discovered the people of the Mao tribe from the imperial capital and came to everyone.

After asking a few random questions to the two elders, he walked up to Mao Rui.

Seeing Mao Rui's shocked face, he followed his gaze and asked, "Are you curious about the strength of those old people?"

"They give me a stronger feeling than the five of you. Could it be that the Jindan Consummation is not the highest cultivation that can be achieved on earth?" Mao Rui said with a solemn face.

"Yes, Jindan consummation is the highest state that can be achieved today. ”

"That's... Are they stronger than the five of you in terms of strength?"

Mao Yihong's divine sense said: "It doesn't exist, the five of us are called the strongest, that is, the strongest, one-on-one, those old guys are not our five opponents." ”

Without waiting for Mao Rui to reply, Mao Yihong continued to transmit his divine sense, and told Mao Rui some secrets that only a few people in the whole world knew.

Mao Yihong told Mao Rui that the reason why the five of them were the strongest was that in addition to the consummation of Jindan's cultivation, they also each had the means to explode their strength to the early stage of the Yuan Infant in a short period of time.

This method either relies on secret methods or relies on foreign objects, how specifically, Mao Yihong did not say it explicitly, and Mao Rui did not ask too much.

And this is a means that belongs to the five major forces alone, and others do not possess it.

As for why those old guys feel stronger, Mao Yihong also gave a detailed explanation.

If you count by generation, these old guys are the existence of several generations of Da Mao Yihong.

Most of them, Shou Yuan has long been exhausted, and if it weren't for the forcible continuation of life by relying on various extremely rare heavenly treasures or secret methods, they would have already sat down.

Because those old guys live longer, and after continuous accumulation, they are infinitely close to the Yuan Infant Stage in terms of cultivation.

The body has begun to fall into decay due to the exhaustion of Shouyuan, and it is impossible to completely control its own breath.

In addition, Mao Rui had not actually seen Mao Yihong's five people completely erupt, and what he usually felt was the aura of the five people after they had converged.

One is uncontrollable, and the breath is completely released, and the other is that the breath is always restrained, and it will naturally be strong and weak in terms of giving people feelings.

"Although they are not my opponents, but after living for a long time, there will naturally be more means, even if I deal with it, I will feel a lot of headaches, so you kid had better not take the initiative to provoke them. ”

After explaining the difference for Mao Rui, Mao Yihong did not forget to warn Mao Rui.

"Gao Zu, rest assured, I, Mao Rui, am not the kind of person who will take the initiative to cause trouble. Mao Rui patted his chest and swore to the rumors.

Mao Yihong stared at Mao Rui, revealing deep disdain for Mao Rui's words.

If you're not a troublemaker, there's no one in the world who can cause trouble. ’

Mao Yihong despised it in his heart, and was just about to leave, no longer paying attention to Mao Rui, this kid, remembered something again, and said to Mao Rui: "Also, cultivators from other countries will arrive one after another in the past few days, and some people are not even opponents of me, so don't you mess with them?"

"Cultivators of other systems? Will there be juniors coming over? Can those juniors mess with?"

Mao Yihong, who had already turned to leave, paused in his footsteps, and didn't know how to answer Mao Rui.
