Chapter Twenty-Five: Undercurrents
Thirty-two, the results were not long in coming.
The top ten young talents in the Northern Wastelands were all lucky, did not collide, and were divided into different groups, all of which were qualified for promotion without exception.
If Kim is placed in another knockout group, there is no doubt that he will be able to qualify for promotion as he wishes, but unfortunately, his luck seems to be a little worse.
However, Jin Haocheng did not complain because he was eliminated, but felt that he was very fortunate that he benefited a lot from fighting a strong man like Duanmu Yu, and from what happened to him, he personally confirmed that Duanmu Yu was completely different from what everyone rumored to say, and he was not a heinous big devil, nor was he an unreasonable person.
"If you meet him, how sure are you that you can beat him?" The Prime Minister's Mansion of the Goshawk Empire, Prime Minister Qin Haolun asked Qin Zifeng.
At this moment, Qin Zifeng was watching the image of Duanmu Yu and Jin Haocheng during the battle through the crystal memory magic ball.
After listening to Qin Haolun's question, Qin Zifeng was silent for a while, and then said: "My strength is slightly stronger than Jin Haocheng, but if Jin Haocheng goes all out, it will be very hard for me to defeat him." As a comparison, the combat power of Mu Yu at that end should be much stronger than mine. If you don't use special treasures, it's simply not realistic to defeat him. ”
Qin Zifeng is self-aware and does not say big things arrogantly.
"That kid Duanmu Yu is indeed a freak, just a cultivation at the level of the Inner Zhuang Realm, and his combat power is so amazing, if his cultivation reaches the level of the Condensation Realm, in my opinion, even Ji Xiaoxian, who ranks first, may not be able to beat him. Qin Haolun touched his beard and said, "The top 32 are promoted to the top 16, and the opponent is determined by drawing lots on the spot." I hope you'll be lucky not to meet him in the next one, or hey......"
Qin Haolun didn't finish his words, so he let out a long sigh, unwilling to continue the rest of the words.
Obviously, he seemed to be very reluctant Qin Zifeng to fight Duanmu Yu in the competitive ring, after all, Qin Zifeng was his own grandson, the hope of the Qin family's future.
"Grandpa, if you have something to say, just say it. From the expression on Qin Haolun's face, Qin Zifeng guessed that he had something unspeakable, so he hurriedly asked.
"After the results of the thirty-two strong came out, Liu Jiangheng from the Silver Moon Branch of the Heavenly Ninja Sect came to the door, and directly sent a brocade box, and then told me that this is the meaning of the Lord of the Heavenly Ninja Sect's earth-level branch altar, and after the matter is completed, there will be a heavy reward, and then he left in a hurry. Later, I opened the brocade box and saw that it was a Hercules pill inside. If my expectations are correct, except for the participating talents of the six major forces of Haotian Gate, Shenhuang Palace, Linxiao Pavilion, Heavenly Evil Palace, Blood Shadow Sect, and Heavenly Ninja Sect, they did not receive such a gift, and all the other participating talents received such a gift. This shows how firm the determination of the Heavenly Ninja Sect to kill this son is. Qin Haolun shook his head helplessly, because he knew very well in his heart that after using this elixir, his combat power would increase by five to ten times in a short period of time, and the increase in the number of times of this strength would vary from person to person, the more power he absorbed, the stronger the power he would improve, and the weaker he would be, but once the strength was exhausted, then the person who used the pill would be counterattacked by the medicinal power of the Hercules Pill, and he would need to recuperate carefully for three to five months to recover, and if the backlash was more serious, he would not even be able to get out of bed for a year and a half.
"The Heavenly Ninja Sect can't afford to offend our Qin family, the matter has come to this point, there is no point in worrying about it, we can only choose to fight hard. Qin Zifeng said in a firm tone, "Grandpa, give me the Hercules Pill, when you get to the battlefield, if you meet Duanmu Yu, I have no choice, I can only use the power of this pill to go all out and fight with him, hoping to win glory for the Qin family." ”
Qin Haolun was helpless, he was silent for a long time, and finally gave the Hercules Pill to Qin Zifeng.
That night, Duanmu Yu was concentrating on cultivation in the guest room, refining and devouring the power stored in the treasure gourd, integrating it into his own body, and accumulating the capital for himself to be promoted to cultivation, when suddenly an urgent knock on the door interrupted his practice, and he hurriedly rushed over to open the door.
The door opened, and Xiao Er, who appeared at the door, immediately handed over a letter in his hand, and then said to Duanmu Yu: "Guest officer, this is a letter that a young man asked me to send you. ”
"Did the young man leave his name?" Duanmu Yu asked, taking the letter.
"No, I see that he is a little familiar, like Liao Zhenyu among the top ten young masters in the Northern Wilderness, but I am not sure if it is him. The innkeeper responded truthfully.
"Thank you. Duanmu Yu took out a crystal coin from the treasure space and threw it to the innkeeper as a reward for sending the letter.
The inn Xiaoer is just an ordinary person, a month's salary, only three crystal coins, at this moment for Duanmu Yu sent a letter, and received the equivalent of ten days of work, the heart was very happy, hurriedly thanked Duanmu Yu politely, and then left happily.
Back in the room, Duanmu Yu immediately opened the letter and read it.
The content of the letter is actually very simple, it is to tell him that in order to kill him, the Heavenly Ninja Sect secretly used a means to let Liu Jiangheng secretly send the Hercules Pill to everyone except for the participating talents of the six major forces, and forced those participating talents who received the Hercules Pill to use the Hercules Pill to improve their combat effectiveness when fighting Duanmu Yu, and killed him in the ring in one fell swoop.
"Hercules Pill, this kind of elixir, is only suitable for characters at the two levels of the Inner Zhuang Realm and the Condensing Talisman Realm, but the price is not cheap, the market price of a pill seems to be worth five thousand crystal coins, in order to kill me, he was so willing to throw it directly, it is more than 100,000 crystal coins, this day the Ninja Sect is really rich!" Duanmu Yu put away the letter, frowned slightly, and then cast a spell to urge the power in his body to gather in his hand, ignite a fire, and burn the letter to ashes.
"Although I have a little money on hand, I want to buy a hand fist that can be used with the Angry Thunder Palm and increase the lethality of the Angry Thunder Palm, but it is not enough, I have to find a way to get some money and buy a prefecture-level fist to prepare for the battle, just in case. Although Duanmu Yu was not afraid of any difficulties and dangers, he still felt that it was necessary to be fully prepared to ensure that nothing went wrong.
So, Duanmu Yu quietly left the guest room at night and rushed directly to the inn where Liu Jiangheng and others settled in the north of the city.
When Duanmu Yu rushed to the inn where Liu Jiangheng and the others stayed, in the guest room where Liu Jiangheng was, a guy with a black masked scarf on his face and a faint fluctuation of supernatural power, preventing others from seeing his face through the veil, was communicating with Liu Jiangheng at the moment.
"The things that Childe wants me to do have been done, if there is anything else that needs help, despite the orders, I Liujiang Heng will do my best to solve problems for Childe. Liu Jiangheng looked at the masked man in front of him greedily and said very politely.
"Your ability to do things is not bad, but you are only qualified to run errands for my son, as for other things, even if you confess, you can't complete it at all. The mysterious masked man said this unceremoniously, and then got up and left.
"Phew, what's the matter, if it weren't for the fact that you are willing to pay 50,000 yuan, I, Liu Jiangheng, would not have risked offending the Ghost Shadow Supreme to do something for you. Liu Jiangheng, who had an ugly face, watched the mysterious man leave, and then angrily spat at the mysterious man's back.
"Lord Liu, since the Lord of the Northern Wasteland Prefecture-level Altar has sent Ji Xiaoxian to deal with Duanmu Yu, why do you want to let this mysterious guy act in private and put pressure on the local forces in the Northern Wasteland, forcing the players they sent to use the Hercules Pill in the Talent Tournament to improve their combat effectiveness to deal with Duanmu Yu?" asked the young attendant beside Liu Jiangheng.
"I heard that the lord of the altar was not only ruthless and vicious, but also extremely cunning and calculating. When he did this, he was naturally not at ease with Ji Xiaoxian, and in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he sent another confidant to conduct private activities. Liu Jiangheng said.
......
Sou!
Just as Liu Jiangheng and his attendants were chatting, a figure slashed through the void like a streamer, shot in through the open window on their side, and appeared not far in front of the two of them.
Liu Jiangheng's image of Duanmu Yu has been imprinted in his mind and engraved into his bone marrow.
According to the words in his heart, even if Duanmu Yu turned to ashes, he would be able to recognize him at a glance.
Right now, as soon as the figure of the person who came appeared, Liu Jiangheng recognized him.
Because, the person who suddenly appeared was indeed Duanmu Yu.
"You kid is so daring, you dare to appear in front of Lord Ben so blatantly, aren't you worried about being caught by me and sent to the Heavenly Ninja Sect for trial?" Liu Jiangheng, who originally felt a little nervous in his heart, actually relaxed after seeing that the person who appeared was Duanmu Yu, because in his opinion, even if Duanmu Yu had the ability, it could not be his opponent, after all, there was a big difference in the cultivation realm between Duanmu Yu and him, one was the consummation level of the Inner Zhuang Realm, and the other was the consummation level of the Condensation Realm.
"If I had been afraid of you, I wouldn't have appeared. Duanmu Yu replied with a smile.
"Don't think that if you have the Ghost Supreme to support you, no one will dare to touch you. Liu Jiangheng said coldly.
"I don't need anyone's support, I came to you because you just did something that made me feel extremely uncomfortable. Duanmu Yu said.
"I'm the inspector of the Silver Moon Branch of the Heavenly Ninja Sect, it's easy to deal with you, there's no need to do things like stealing chickens and dogs, you don't talk nonsense here, and spew blood. Listening to Duanmu Yu's words, Liu Jiangheng's face suddenly became extremely difficult to look at, because he really didn't want to spread the word about what the mysterious masked man had done, and finally reach the ears of the Ghost Shadow Supreme, once Duanmu Yu had an accident, the Ghost Supreme would definitely come to the door and bring him a calamity.
