"Discussion?" Lin Liang asked suspiciously, "What competition?"

"Lin Xiaoyou should have heard of the Great Competition, right?" Fang Yu asked with a smile.

"The Great Contest of the Instrument Alliance?" Lin Liang thought for a while and said, "It is the one that is sent by the best people from each branch of the Instrument Alliance to conduct the competition, the five-year Instrument Alliance Competition?"

"That's right!" Fang Yu nodded and said affirmatively.

"Then what does this have to do with the competition you want me to participate in?" Lin Liang asked curiously.

"Lin Xiaoyou, I think you may still not know the situation of the fire refining vein of our Shangyang City branch!" Hei Kai sighed and said: "In the past few decades, although the vein master of our fire refining vein is still in the headquarters of the Instrument Alliance, the talents below have become scarce, and the impact brought to the bottom is also very great!"

"The eight branches of the Instrument Alliance, the Shangyang City branch of our fire refining line is in the Southern Regions, but in fact, in the ranking of the eight branches of the Great 6 Instrument Alliance, our Shangyang City branch is already the last, just last year, our Shangyang City branch ranked last in the Great Competition of the Instrument Alliance for the fourth time, a full twenty years of humiliation!"

"But someone has to be the last in line, and when you get to the end, you have to find a way to re-rank it, why is it ranked at the end four times in a row?" Lin Liang asked suspiciously.

Fang Yu and Hei Kai glanced at each other, and Hei Kai opened his mouth to explain: "Lin Xiaoyou, you may not know, there are regulations in the Instrument Alliance, and the annual resource allocation is divided according to the ranking of the Instrument Alliance, and the fewer resources are allocated, the fewer excellent smelters can be cultivated, this is the competition law set by the Instrument Alliance, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, but this is not the reason why our Shangyang City branch has declined to this extent. ”

"What's the reason for that?" Hearing this, Lin Liang also heard a hint of conspiracy, and immediately asked.

"Because of the Hegu City Branch!" mentioned the name again, different from the previous indifferent tone, this time Hei Kai could be said to have gritted his teeth and said these five words!

"Hegu City Branch?" Lin Liang said in surprise: "Is that the Hegu City Branch you mentioned earlier?"

"That's right, it's the Hegu City Branch!" This time, even Fang Yu, the head of the Shangyang City Branch, said with anger on his face: "Twenty years ago, in the Great Competition of the Instrument Alliance, our Shangyang City Branch fell to the bottom for the first time, and before that, our Shangyang City Branch had always been ranked among the top three among the eight branches of the Instrument Alliance, and that time, there was a traitor among us!"

"Traitor!" Lin Liang exclaimed, "Could it be the Hegu City Branch?"

Fang Yu nodded and said: "Although we cleaned up that traitor afterwards, that fall to the bottom was just the beginning! Although after that Great Competition, the resources of our Shangyang City Division in the next five years were the least, but there were the accumulation of the previous few Great Competitions, so the impact on us in those five years was not great, but what we didn't expect was that the first place in that Great Competition, that is, the Hegu City Branch, would be so crazy!"

"At that time, the Shangyang City branch was the last place, and the Hegu City branch was the first, but in order to prevent us from turning over, the Hegu City branch would rather lower its own ranking to crush our Shangyang City branch!

"How can this be! The headquarters of the Instrument Alliance doesn't care? Why?" Lin Liang didn't understand, as the eight branches of the Instrument Alliance, why Hegu City would target Shangyang City like this, and even did not hesitate to lower his ranking, you must know that the lower the ranking, the fewer resources you will get every year, it is completely a business that harms others and is not beneficial to yourself!

"The headquarters of the Instrument Alliance?" a sneer appeared on the corner of Fang Yu's mouth, and he said sarcastically: "This situation is what they want to see!"

"The Shangyang City branch was built by the fire refining vein in the eight smelting veins of the Qi Alliance, and it has always been one of the strongest veins in the smelting eight veins, while the Hegu City branch was built by the water refining vein in the smelting eight veins, the two veins have long had a feud, and the relationship between the other veins is not particularly good, Lord Ye Yuntian was fine when he was there, and Lord Ye Yuntian couldn't hold it back as soon as he left each vein. ”

Speaking of this, Hei Kai also interjected and said: "Our Fire Refining One Vein has always agreed with Lord Ye Yuntian, so we are dedicated to studying the way of smelting, but there is no way, the resources of the entire Big 6 are placed there, and it will not increase, so when the Water Refining One Vein deals with our Fire Refining One Vein, the other veins are even more happy to watch the show, and even a few veins even privately assist the Water Refining One Vein!"

"After all, if you go down to one fire refining vein, the resources distributed by the other veins will naturally be more than before. However, since there is no fighting in the headquarters of the Instrument Alliance, these branches of ours have naturally become bargaining chips in the battle of various veins! In order to be able to suppress our fire refining lineage, the Hegu City branch did not hesitate to drop from the first place to the fifth place now, and it took twenty years to create the current situation!"

"Then this ...... discussion," Lin Liang asked after a moment's hesitation.

"You guessed right!" Hei Kai said in a deep voice: "This battle is a test of the Hegu City Branch, I want to know if our Shangyang City Branch still has a chance to turn around, after all, five years is enough time for a talented smelter to advance to a fourth-order smelter with the full support of a branch, and it is not impossible for a talent like you to advance to a fifth-order smelting master!"

Lin Liang thought for a while and said: "Since it is about the next Instrument Alliance Competition, shouldn't we show the enemy weakness and paralyze the other party in this competition, and then make a splash in the next Instrument Alliance Competition?"

"No!" Fang Yu stood up and said, "Although your idea can be said to be the best way at the moment, but this time with Hegu City, we must win! Our Shangyang City branch has been suppressed for a full twenty years, if there is no victory to inspire people, the smelters we sent out will have a trace of timidity in their hearts!"

"I know you're worried that if you win, the sharpness will make the Hegu City branch prepared, but what I want to say is that Lord Ye Yuntian once gave us a sentence about the Fire Refining Pulse. Saying that, Fang Yu's face showed a trace of solemnity, and he said solemnly: "The winner may not be fearless, but the fearless will be the winner!"

"The winner may not be fearless, but the fearless will be the winner!" Lin Liang muttered and repeated this sentence, and there was also a surge of war intent in his eyes.

"Of course, before you came, although we had already thought that we would win this battle no matter what, but in fact, the opposite side of this battle has already targeted our weakness!" Hei Kai said with a sigh.

"Weakness?" Lin Liang didn't understand what Hei Kai meant.

"Twenty years of weakness is enough to bring the influence of our Shangyang City branch to a low point, and the condition set for this exchange is that there are only third-order smelters under the age of twenty, and you also know that smelters at this stage tend to choose those top-ranked branches when choosing branches. Although there are many suitable smelters in our Shangyang City branch, most of them are first-order smelters, and only a handful of them have been promoted to the second order, let alone a talented smelter like you!"

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Hei Kai's face again: "According to our estimates, the smelter sent by the other party must be above the first order, and the talent will not be bad, originally we were still more worried, but this time with Lin Xiaoyou here, there must be no problem! What do you say?"

Lin Liang raised his head, saw the expectation in the eyes of Hei Kai and Fang Yu, and said with a smile at the moment: "This is natural, Huo Xing is my uncle, I am naturally regarded as a fire refining line, and it is natural for me to contribute to the Shangyang City branch......!

Hearing what Lin Liang said earlier, Hei Kai and Fang Yu were moved in their hearts, but when they heard Lin Liang's later sentence, their hearts chuckled at the same time, and Fang Yu asked hesitantly, "But what?"

"But it's always a little real to make a contribution, right?" said Lin Liang, who habitually smiled shyly at Fang Yu and Hei Kai.

"Whew!" Fang Yu put down his heart and said with a smile: "This is natural, you can tell me what you want first, right?

"Hehe, this feeling is good!" Lin Liang tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "The two ministers are both seniors in the smelting world, why don't you see what I'm suitable for now?"

"It's smart!" Fang Yu praised Lin Liang without a trace in his heart, and then said, "Lin Liang, I think your cultivation seems to be already the tenth layer of the Spirit Quenching Realm, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Liang was taken aback, and said in surprise: "How did you see it?"

Hei Kai explained with a smile on the side: "Lin Liang, you may not know, Minister Fang is a powerhouse in the King Realm! You must know that although we are smelters, the martial arts realm is also very important, if you don't enter the Spirit Vein Realm, you will never be able to become a third-order smelter!"

"Wang Realm powerhouse?" Lin Liang looked at Fang Yu in front of him in disbelief, although he had seen several Wang Realm masters before, this was the first time Lin Liang had spoken to a Wang Realm master at close range, and the other party was also the minister of one of the eight branches of the Instrument Alliance. In amazement, Lin Liang turned his gaze to Hei Kai again.

Seeing Lin Liang's gaze, Hei Kai naturally understood what Lin Liang meant, and said angrily at the moment: "The old man is at the peak of the Spirit Cloud Realm, and he has been stuck in the Spirit Cloud Realm for several years!

Hearing this, Lin Liang smiled wryly, and turned to Fang Yu and asked, "Then minister, do you think there is anything suitable for me now?"

"Naturally!" Fang Yu chuckled, "I think you should want to enter the Spirit Vein Realm to take the third-order smelter certification assessment now, right?"

"Yes!" Lin Liang nodded, after cultivating to reach the tenth layer of the Spirit Quenching Realm, Lin Liang tried to enter the Spirit Vein Realm, but he never found a way, and when Fang Yu mentioned it, he naturally had a guess in his heart.

"That's right, I have something here that can help you successfully enter the Spirit Vein Realm!" Fang Yu smiled and threw a bait at Lin Liang.

"What is it?" Lin Liang asked, licking his tongue.

"Elixir!"
