Originally, with Tang Chen's soul power realm, he should have discovered these movements early, but because he was in the sect, and his residence had his own strengthened protective array, he did not use his soul sense to monitor the surroundings during the retreat.

He was careless for a while, so that so many people approached, and he didn't even notice it, which made him a little ashamed, and secretly warned himself that he must be vigilant in the future, no matter what situation he is in, he must not be approached without noticing......

"Elder Lu, you should have something to do with me, right?"

Tang Chen asked, with his understanding of Elder Lu, if it was okay, he would not come to look for it.

Lu Sihai was silent for a moment, and replied: "That's right, according to the rules of the sect, there are five candidates for the successor of the sect master, and they are generally selected from the top five of the Tianjiao list, so although the sect has already established you as the first core disciple, you still need to have a competition with the core disciples who are ranked in the top five of the Tianjiao list." ”

Tang Chen now had more information awakened in his mind, and his knowledge had naturally increased a lot, and as soon as he heard Lu Sihai's words, he immediately understood that there must be someone who was dissatisfied with his being made the first core disciple and wanted to challenge him.

"Is someone going to challenge me?" he asked calmly, smiling.

Lu Sihai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Yes, the top ten disciples on the Tianjiao List want to challenge you, but only the top five Tu Zhantian and others really stand up, and the sect master has already agreed to their challenge."

Originally, I wanted you to recuperate for ten days and half a month, and then start the competition, but you have been in retreat, and it has dragged on until now......"

Although Tang Chen didn't want to participate in this kind of boring competition, he also understood that this battle was inevitable, so he asked, "When will the competition start?"

"Tomorrow morning, the Lord Douxing Palace. Lu Sihai replied.

"Okay, I'm up for the challenge. ”

Tang Chen's tone was calm, but there seemed to be an invincible domineering aura emanating from it, which made Lu Sihai listen to it through the communication star, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence in his heart.

This was the temperament that naturally revealed after Tang Chen's mind awakened more information, and Tang Chen himself did not realize it.

After negotiating the competition with Lu Sihai, the two cut off communication.

Tang Chen didn't regard this competition as important, in his heart, it was more to give an explanation to the sect, as for winning or losing the competition, he didn't think about it at all, or rather, he didn't need to think about it at all, he had the confidence to win.

Next, he wandered around the mountain path for a while without distraction, and felt a rare leisure time after cultivation.

Ever since he awakened the Star Soul, he had been cultivating very hard, and almost all of his time and energy had been spent on cultivation.

In the past, he had poor talent, and he fought so that his parents would not worry too much and not make their faces too ugly; now that his talent is good, he fights, but because he feels that he has a great responsibility, he not only wants to resurrect his father, but also protects the people and things he cares about, such as the Tang family, such as Shanhe Zong......

When he returned to his residence, Yu Renle had already arrived and was waiting outside the courtyard gate.

Seeing Tang Chen, Yu Renle hurriedly greeted him, his face was full of joy, and he said with gratitude: "Senior brother, thank you!

This was what Tang Chen expected, he smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations, senior brother!"

Immediately, the two of them sat down and talked about some things about the pill.

Yu Renle personally took the Juxing Pill to break through the realm, and his confidence in the elixir that Tang Chen had refined had grown to an unprecedented level. The remaining nine Gathering Star Pills had already been kept by him as treasures, and he planned to take them to the auction hall in Shanhe City for auction, believing that he would definitely be able to get a good price.

Tang Chen heard that Yu Renle was going to Shanhe City for auction, and when he landed, he remembered Zhuge Ming of Shanhe City's Wanqi Pavilion.

There is also a Nine Tribulation Bone in his star ring, which was originally prepared to be used by Zhuge Ming to help refine a Wang Pin Star Sword when the time is ripe, but now his strength, as long as he is not a high-level star king, is enough to protect himself.

Therefore, in his opinion, the time was almost over, so he said: "Senior Brother Yu, you call me when you go to the auction, and I will also go to Shanhe City." ”

After a pause, he continued: "In the future, there is no need to deliberately hide the relationship between you and me, because the sect may already know about it. ”

Yu Renle couldn't help but show a little surprise on his face, for him, he naturally hoped to be Tang Chen's follower openly, and now he could be in the daylight, it was exactly what he wanted.

However, he thought of a rather headache again, so he reminded: "Senior brother, once everyone knows that you accept me as a follower, I'm afraid many people will come to the door......"

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Chen interrupted: "Senior Brother Yu, you know my thoughts, I actually don't treat you as a follower, and I don't want to accept followers now, even if you want to accept it, it depends on your character and temperament, not everyone accepts it." ”

Yu Renle nodded, meditated for a moment, and then asked, "Then, if there is a suitable person to be your follower, do you accept it or not?"

Tang Chen thought about it and felt that there wasn't much to do now, and it was enough for Yu Renle to be alone, so he simply replied, "Don't accept it for the time being." ”

Yu Renle resolutely agreed, and then talked about the challenge of the first core disciple.

At this time, Tang Chen Fang knew that this matter had already spread in the Mountain and River Sect, so he casually asked who the top five Tianjiao were.

Yu Renle is worthy of being an old disciple of the sect, and he knows a lot of information in this regard, so he immediately briefly introduced the situation of Tu Zhantian, Xu Qingliang, Nie Xiaoyi and Quan Quan, as for Lu Tianqi, Tang Chen has fought against him, and he is already quite familiar with it, so there is no need to say anything.

"Senior brother, I think that these five people can threaten you with Tu Zhantian, and the other four people are not to be afraid. Yu Renle said confidently.

In his opinion, long before Tang Chen went out to practice, Tang Chen would be able to draw with Lu Tianqi, after the experience, he believed that Tang Chen's combat power would definitely be greatly improved, and if he fought against Lu Tianqi again, the odds of winning would definitely be higher, and Xu Qingliang and others, who were weaker than Lu Tianqi, would definitely not be Tang Chen's opponents.

Tang Chen smiled and did not comment, but Yu Renle could feel the invincible confidence emanating from his body, and immediately had more confidence in Tang Chen.

In fact, these days, there are all kinds of speculations about the strength between the Five Great Heavenly Masters and Tang Chen in the Mountain and River Sect, not only the disciples, but even some elders are involved.

Most people thought that Tang Chen and Lu Tianqi were equal in combat power, after all, it hadn't been long since the last competition between the two, and generally speaking, there wouldn't be much change.

Therefore, everyone is not very optimistic about Tang Chen's battle against Tu Zhantian, because Tu Zhantian is at the top of the Tianjiao list, Lu Tianqi has challenged him many times, but he has lost with an absolute disadvantage, Tang Chen and Lu Tianqi are similar in strength, and it is naturally difficult to have a chance of winning against Tu Zhantian.
