Chapter 43: The City of a Hundred Families
The sun, which was originally like a furnace, gradually turned red, and there was a slight cool breeze blowing in the valley, which made people feel refreshed and energetic.
The trials in full swing are finally over, the difference is that some people's faces are like frost, and their eyebrows are wrinkled together like straw, looking extremely messy, while some people are smiling, and after a long sigh of relief, the corners of their mouths are grinning to the sky, which is extremely exaggerated.
As the crowd dissipated, the area became empty and refreshing, and there were only about 500 people standing in the central area, all of whom were the best among the people, and they were full of spirit.
Although some people's strength is not at the pinnacle, but their teammates are powerful and scary, and they have passed the first round by luck, and some people are extremely strong and can be called the supreme of teenagers, but they have been brushed down, obviously a fifteen-year-old boy, but at the moment his face is withered and bloodless.
The world is so cruel and unreasonable, and even the iron-blooded rule of the jungle seems a little weak here.
Isn't it sad that this world is too incomplete, everyone is living in disability, and even superficial fairness is difficult to achieve?
Not far away, the beautiful mountain peak is shrouded in clouds and mist, which is extremely beautiful and immortal in the eyes of some people, but it is gray and cruel in the eyes of some people.
"I'm not convinced!" At this moment, a young man yelled at the old man hanging above the sky, the blood in his eyes spreading wantonly like broken ice, and his eyes were hollow, as if he had been sucked out of essence by a fox spirit.
The old man recognized him immediately, he even remembered that the other party had fought with the disciples of the studio on the forty-fourth stage in the west before, and his strength was the top among these people, but the strength of his teammates was far inferior to him, and the disciples of the studio were not good at stubble, so he was defeated, if it was a few years later, he would definitely be able to grow into a young supreme in the true sense, but obviously, he would not have this opportunity again.
The old man sees many such people every year, and they all think that they are qualified to step into the land of contention, that they are powerful, but they have lost by luck.
Some people even come with the fate of the whole family, and if they enter, the family will prosper, and if they lose, they will die.
The old man looked at the young man, he was not a cruel and cold-blooded person, not to mention that this man's strength was strong enough, but just as he was about to open his mouth with pity in his heart, countless pairs of wolf-like eyes stared at him in the distance, with full expectations and fantasies, these are the losers who have not gone far.
This kind of light made his heart tremble, obviously full of light and hope, but in his opinion, it could only bring darkness and destruction.
The kindness on the old man's face disappeared, and was replaced by a fierce color like a beast, and he said decisively and cruelly: "Do you still need to quibble if your skills are not as good as others? !
The sound reached the sky, and the light in the distance dimmed again, like a flame doused by ice water, and the group of people continued to hang their heads and walk into the distance, losing their vitality.
"I don't accept it! why?" The man's face became more and more hideous, his hands were clenched, his green tendons were exposed, and his eyes were full of hatred when he looked at the old man.
"The world is inherently unfair!" the old man said in a more stern tone, cold, like a cold wave between heaven and earth, stabbing into his heart with ice slag of minus a few degrees.
In the distance, the heads of the people were lowered, and the faint wind in the valley blew, like the breath of the devil, gloomy, and people's hearts were even colder, like a piece of cold jade.
The sun was clearly hanging in the sky, but they only felt the coolness of their hearts.
When the man heard this, he seemed to suddenly understand something, smiled self-deprecatingly, and finally roared as if he had exhausted his last bit of strength: "Yes! Everything is unfair, all unfair, all fake, all fake, all fake, all fake!"
After roaring, he was like a small grass that withered in an instant, and his eyes were gray and full of helplessness.
Since he was a child, he has been forced by his family to cultivate, cultivate, and keep cultivating, after eating, before going to bed, and when he goes to the toilet, he is cultivating, like a bird in a cage, unable to get freedom, and can only look up at the blue sky.
But he is not disgusted, he feels that his efforts are rewarded, he throws off a lot of children of the same age, accepts the praise of others like stars and moons, he feels very smart, and knows that this world cannot stand without strength!
He also knew that one day he would break through this cage, and he would lead his family to prosperity, and not long ago, he even awakened the ancient level contract, which caused a sensation to everyone.
At that time, he was proud of the spring breeze and was pinned on high hopes by his family, and he felt that he was not far from his beginning.
"As long as you work hard to cultivate, coupled with this powerful Heavenly Tiger Contract, you will definitely be able to protect everything you want to protect!" his mother said to him, smiling brightly, and her eyes were not mixed with any falsehood, as if this was the truth.
However, his family suddenly encountered a shocking change, and somehow, he got into trouble with a big man, and they couldn't afford to offend the big man, and the family fell into a panic in an instant, and it could perish at any time!
However, he came to participate in the selection competition in the Land of Contention, and he knew that when his efforts were harvested, once he passed, he could shelter his family, even if he couldn't protect his family, he could also shelter his relatives, so that what he had paid since he was a child, and the suffering he had endured all the time, had meaning.
This was his last straw, so he got out of the cage and trekked through mountains and rivers to get here, but in the end, it ended up like this.
Even if you are strong, what can you do? There are always opponents in this world that you can't defeat, even if you are ahead of your peers? It's not just as cruel!
He thought that the essence of this world was good, and until today, he saw through it.
His belief completely collapsed at this moment, what about the law of the jungle? He is obviously the best among the crowd, and his Heavenly Tiger Contract can even turn into a White Tiger Contract after he is fully awakened, this is the power he dreams of!
Now, what will he face when he returns with this loser posture? He didn't dare to think any further, he only knew that it was all fake, and when he jumped out of a cage, there was a bigger, wider, more impregnable cage waiting for him, and there was no end to the so-called rules.
If that's the case, then what's the point of cultivating, the stronger it is, the more terrifying the cage it will face!
He began to hate this old man, it was he who set this damn battle, it was he who cut off his own way, if there were fewer people like him, this world, no, at least he, still has a way to live!
His eyes full of resentment and resentment looked at the old man in the sky, as if he was about to cut him with a thousand knives, but the old man saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more, just sighed secretly.
The man's back was pulled by the infinite length of the sunset, as if it was about to freeze in the air, it turned out that unconsciously, it was already dusk!
The sun sets in the west, as if it will never rise again, taking away all the dreams and hopes of those who are far away, and perhaps for them, there will never be a dawn again!
......
When only those so-called victors were left in this area, the bleak atmosphere between heaven and earth disappeared strangely.
"Now that you have all passed the first round of the selection competition in the Land of Contention, you have become 'preparatory disciples' in the true sense of the word, and now, all the preparatory disciples follow the guide to the 'Hundred Family City'" The old man's loud voice resounded between heaven and earth.
"The next second round of trials is an individual competition, no matter whether you win or lose, you will become a disciple in the place of contention, and you will not be eliminated!" At this time, the old man's face changed, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
Everyone was in an uproar, everyone seemed to have forgotten the man before, their eyes were flashing with golden light, and they were overwhelmed by this sudden surprise, so to speak, they had become disciples of the Land of Contention?
Happiness came too quickly! There was a commotion in the world.
"Who's the 'guide'!" someone asked, his eyes twinkling with doubt.
The old man laughed, as if amused by the group of little guys below, and said, "It's the old man who has been watching your fight under the battle platform before! ”
Everyone hammered their chests and feet, suddenly realized, and stepped forward one after another.
"Uncle, what forces are there in the land where we are fighting?" someone asked cheekily.
"Ah, can't you tell the difference between age?" someone retorted.
"Then you said you should shout?" the man continued.
"Uncle, which force do you think I am more suitable for?" said the man before with his face stretched, how can he still have the demeanor of a young man?
The other nine people all had dark faces, but the person who was called "uncle" was quite happy, in good spirits, and the light flashed in his dark eyes, and he laughed: "You kid is still my favorite!"
Lu Yujing didn't know when she came back, her dress was fluttering, her figure was swaying, like a lotus blooming in the crowd, pure and beautiful to the extreme.
"You're back!" Han Yinling smiled, no longer cold, and then glanced at Ye Yu and said, "Don't be with Ye Yu, it's all bad for you!"
Lu Yujing smiled, her face was still red, like the sunset on the horizon, extremely gorgeous.
Ye Yu shook his head helplessly, where did he take Lu Yujing badly, but he still explained with a smile: "I was joking with you just now!
Lu Yujing tapped her chin, revealing a swan neck, snow-white and delicate, and her pretty face was like the most delicate porcelain.
Qi Tian and Zhong Sheng looked at Ye Yu's cowardly appearance, and they also laughed unabashedly.
