Chapter 088: The Favorite
Chapter 088 is the favorite to win the championship
In a few days, it will be a year before the new disciples have been initiated, and seeing that the competition for the inner disciples is about to begin, Luo Tianzong Square can be said to be crowded with people. Some of the outer disciples who had not been able to retreat also came to the square one after another to exchange their recent cultivation experiences with some other outer disciples.
Especially next to the bulletin board on the square, there were even more outer disciples standing in black press. At the top of that list is the ranking of all outer disciples in the last year. This ranking is not something that these outer disciples can decide, but some elders who are specifically responsible for supervising the outer disciples have made an evaluation through the secret observation center, which is also a warning to other outer disciples. After all, when it comes to the real game, there are no eyes for fists and feet, and when you encounter an opponent who is much stronger than yourself, giving up as soon as possible is the right way.
Just when all the outer disciples were standing on the square and talking about it, suddenly an outer disciple walked into the square surrounded by seven or eight inner disciples. This huge formation frightened the other outer disciples who hurriedly flashed to the side, for fear of offending this big man, and rushed to him.
"What, coming to the square to participate in today's announcement of the outer disciples, it brought seven or eight inner disciples to open the way, what kind of person is this, there is such a big pomp. After seeing this outer disciple's swaggering pomp, the other outer disciples all laughed and whispered earnestly.
"You don't know him yet, he is the cousin of Li Chao, the most powerful and potential core disciple of our Luo Tianzong now, Li Rui. I'm afraid you don't know yet, Li Rui is Li Chao's younger brother. Now the Li family can be said to be famous in our Luo Tianzong and occupies a place, and Li Chao is one of the biggest heroes among them. An outer disciple said proudly after seeing Li Rui's flamboyant pomp.
Obviously, this outer disciple has a very good relationship with Li Chao, and now I see that Li Rui is also constantly saying good things about Li Chao in the crowd. The other disciple was obviously angry, but after seeing that the other party turned out to be the strength of the Transcendent Realm Ninefold, he also obediently closed his mouth and said nothing more.
"I didn't expect this Li Rui to be so arrogant in his cousin's sect. It's excessive, but it's nothing. No matter how arrogant such a character is, if he doesn't want to forge ahead, he will not be eliminated by the sect sooner or later. Look at that person, it's different, I don't know how many times stronger than Li Rui in strength, but he didn't reveal his meaning at all. In the eyes of some other disciples, Li Chao has only been in the sect for less than ten years, and his cousin is like a prince, and he is also indignant in his heart.
"Hmm. I just don't know what the strength of this Li Rui is. However, it seems that he has not entered the top ten favorites in this year's inner disciple competition. It seems that he is only relying on his cousin's power to be so arrogant, and it is not worth mentioning at all if he can't get it right. An outer disciple of the Eightfold Realm of the Transcendent Realm, who had not yet become an inner disciple for two years, looked at Li Rui and said with a hint of resentment.
However, after the top 10, there seems to be a Wang Yue's name that has been soaring up the promotion list. Now that he has reached the potential list, the sixth position is even higher than this Li Rui's ninth place!" The other outer disciple was obviously very lucky to see the content on the list, and said with a proud face.
"Who is the number one on the potential list?" Another disciple came a little late, and when he wanted to go to see the ranking stone wall, he didn't know when he was sealed. Many of the distant disciples shook their heads in disappointment, but they didn't dare to get angry. so as not to establish a strong enemy.
"I didn't see it and was squeezed out. The outer disciple who had spoken before smiled bitterly and shook his head. Those who can seal the list are all big shots. After all, the rankings are classified, and the fewer people who know about them, the better it will be for some people. However, this list must not be sealed for a long time, and other disciples will still have a chance to see it.
"Who do you say will be the most hopeful winner this year?" These outer disciples are also very gossipy, especially those who seem to have not been promoted to the inner disciples for several years in a row, and even more so those who have mediocre qualifications. Now for them, it is good to be able to become inner disciples, but if they can't get in, they should come here for a long time.
"I heard that Senior Brother He Xiaoyao has come out of the customs, and now his strength has reached the ninth level of the transcendent realm, and he has even stepped into the Lingtai realm with one foot and become a person at the level of the half-step Lingtai realm overlord. Not only that, but he had also cultivated the ground-level beginner martial arts to the highest level. In my opinion, this year's laurels of the outer disciples must be none other than him. Another outer disciple who had been in the sect for four years said with great certainty.
"I don't think so. Although the odds of victory or defeat are high in the realm, talent is also important. This year, some of the disciples who have newly entered the sect have many geniuses, such as Chu Yunfei, a genius disciple of the royal family of Chu Yunguo, who has just started for a year. I heard that his strength has also reached the strength of the Transcendent Realm Ninefold, and he has not only cultivated the ground-level low-level martial arts of our Luo Tianzong, but also the ground-level martial arts of the Chu Yun Kingdom Imperial Family, which should not be underestimated!" The other outer disciple seemed to know some gossip and said with a smug face.
"I think what you're saying is just your own speculation. I think this year's dark horse is definitely a name that you have never heard of, Wang Yue. Another outer disciple squeezed up from the outside, standing in this circle and looking at the other disciples with a disdainful expression.
"Wang Yue, is that waste disciple?hahahaha, if he can become this year's dark horse, I will give you 10,000 taels of silver. Upon hearing this, an outer disciple suddenly laughed.
"Me too!" followed with a few outer disciples, all of whom laughed back and forth.
"Cut, or we'll take a gamble. I have a million taels of silver here, and I sit in the bank. How about everyone buying and winning or losing?" This outer disciple saw that it was profitable, and immediately encouraged.
"Who are you, what if you run away?" Seeing some eyes from this outer disciple, some of the other outer disciples all said mockingly.
"Look at it, this is my token, my name is Li Delong. Our family is one of the richest people in Chu Yun Country, and my father is the general of Chu Yun Kingdom, and the existence of the overlord level in the middle of the Guiyuan Realm is not a joke, how about it, I'm afraid. As soon as Li Delong heard someone laughing at him, he immediately took out his waist card and said with a sneer.
"This!" Several other disciples looked at each other, and they really knew such a thing, so they all looked at Wang Yue with some suspicion.
"This is still fake, I can make a package ticket for him. Just when everyone was looking at Li Delong with hesitant eyes, suddenly a strange figure appeared beside Li Delong, which made all the other disciples almost stupid.
"Core disciple, Li Deguang!" Everyone who knows the legend of Li Deguang knows the existence of this core disciple who is extremely powerful, and it is even more said that his strength has reached the middle stage of the Guiyuan Realm, and his strength is not known how many times higher than the ordinary inner door elders, it can be said that he is the most powerful one among the disciples of the Li family. He is also Li Deguang's eldest brother, but he entered the sect five years earlier than Li Chao.
"Hello brother. "At this moment, all the outer disciples didn't dare to speak.
You must know that they are only in the transcendent realm, at most in the late stage of the transcendent realm, and Li Deguang's realm is two orders higher than them. Even if Li Deguang stood in place and let them go up and fight with all their strength for a hundred years, Li Deguang might not be hurt at all. On the other hand, the other party just needs a breath, and I'm afraid he will be able to blow him into the sky and fall to his death directly. That's the biggest hand-to-hand gap between them.
"Don't worry, I'm just a guarantor for Li Delong, and I won't participate in the transaction between you. If anything goes wrong with Li Delong, just come to me. Li Deguang said with a smile on his face. This made the other outer disciples breathe a sigh of relief.
They all knew that there were two Li families in Chu Yun Kingdom, the Li family in the capital of Chu Yun Kingdom was the authentic Li family, and the Li family in Zhenyuan City was one of the many branches of the Li family. It's just that this separation has become more concerned because of Li Chao. So Li Deguang is still Li Deguang, Li Chao is still Li Chao, but the relationship between the two Li families is not close, and there are even some family feuds between them.
"Since it is the senior brother who is the guarantor, and the Li family has such strong financial resources, we can rest assured. This time, I will press He Xiaoyao to win the crown, and I will press the royal disciple Chu Yunfei. When Li Deguang said this, the other disciples began to come alive, and Li Delong also smiled when he saw that his first big deal had finally opened.
"If you manage it yourself, you may be an indispensable network in the future. Before leaving, Li Deguang said to Li Delong with deep meaning, and disappeared by Li Delong's side.
Just after Li Delong disappeared, a young man appeared beside Li Rui not far away, looking at the direction of Li Deguang's disappearance with a cold gaze. This person is none other than Li Rui's cousin, Li Chao.
"Li Rui, what do you think of this list. Are you confident that you will win the crown of this year's Inner Disciple Competition Competition?" Around the list, there were more than 20 inner disciples standing, preventing other outer disciples from watching, and even some inner disciples did not dare to enter.
"I remember them all. Especially that Wang Yue, he was going to kill him at the martial arts competition. Otherwise, my hellish cultivation in the past year will be in vain, so please rest assured, Senior Brother. Li Rui stood beside Li Chao very respectfully, nodded again and again.
In the past, he always felt that Li Chao was his cousin, and he always looked like a child who didn't grow up in front of him. But when he entered the sect, he knew how domineering and vicious Li Chao was, and even he was gradually afraid. Regardless of Li Chao's ignorance of these things, he didn't take them to heart.
"Who the hell is this, there is such a big pomp, let me go aside!" At this time, an extremely domineering girl suddenly broke the seal laid by Li Chao, making the entire list appear in everyone's sight again.
"It turned out to be Senior Sister Fengyi, who has been admired for a long time. Could it be that among these outer disciples, there are also disciples who are more optimistic about the senior sister, or close relatives?" Seeing this woman who was as beautiful as a fairy, but with a frosty face, Li Chao frowned, and then a smile changed to the serious face just now.
"Yes, I really don't dare to call this senior sister. You only entered the sect a year earlier than me, and this realm is about to catch up with me. If I don't know how to advance or retreat, I'm afraid that in another year or two, I will call you Senior Brother. Come, Fengqi, I've seen Senior Brother Li Chao. Tan Fengyi said with a smile.
Things turned out to be as Li Chao expected, just when Tan Fengyi was standing, a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old also walked over beside her. His appearance is extremely pure, moving, and looks weak, but there is a trace of stubbornness and strength in her eyes.
"Feng Qi has seen Senior Brother Li Chao, and he has seen all senior brothers. Saying that, Tan Fengyi gave everyone a salute and said with a smile.
"Sure enough, like Senior Sister Fengyi, they are all stunning beauties. We've seen it all, let's go, go to the front and get a good spot. Saying that, Li Chao took Li Rui and a group of inner disciples and walked away.
"Hmph, sinister villain. Tan Fengyi looked at Li Chao's back and said with a sneer. Listening to the tone, it seems that there is some personal vendetta between them.
Of course, these are all grievances between the core disciples of Luo Tianzong, and the other outer disciples don't even dare to think about it, so they can only stand aside, for fear of angering any of them and causing trouble.
At this time, Wang Yue was also in the crowd closely observing the movements in every corner of the square, especially the whereabouts of Li Rui and Li Chao.
"I didn't expect that Li Chao's status among the core disciples of the sect was not the highest. Looks like I'm going to work harder. Now let's take a look at the ranking of this year's outer disciples on the stone wall. After Li Chao took Li Rui and left Shibi, Wang Yue also squeezed around in the crowd, relying on his extraordinary strength, and came to Shibi.
"My position is actually ranked sixth among the new beginner potential disciples. Li Rui's name is ranked ninth. However, looking at Li Rui's calm demeanor just now, his strength should still be retained, and I am afraid that he has already cultivated to the ninth level of the transcendent realm. Wang Yue took a cursory look at the list and calculated in his heart.
"Let's see who the five people before me were. Wang Yue also knows very well that a martial artist who can hide his strength must have a corresponding magic weapon on his body. The higher the strength, the more powerful the magic weapon needed, unless you reach the realm of the divine journey and begin to surpass the limits of the human body, no one can not use the magic weapon to cover up their realm.
"The number one on the potential list is a guy called Icy Cold. This person is mysterious, his martial arts are ominous, and he is a strong person in the half-step Lingtai realm. ”
"What? It's really a bit against the sky to be so powerful when you just entered the sect. However, when Wang Yue saw his family, he was also relieved. Mysterious family, Hanmen. "Wang Yue once heard his father say that there are three major families in Chuyun Kingdom, the first family is the royal family, the second family is the Li family, and the third family is the Han family, which has always been the most mysterious, and many people are also called Hanmen.
It is said that the Han family is a family of assassins, and the responsibility of all dynasties is to protect the safety of important members of the imperial family and also to assassinate important officials of the enemy, so their whereabouts are also the most secretive. Wang Yue didn't expect that he would meet such a figure as soon as he entered the sect.
"The second place is called Chu Yunfei, he is a member of the royal family of Chu Yun Kingdom, the practice is Chu Yun's Heart Sutra, and the main martial art is Flying Flame Slash, all of which are ground-level cheats, and they are nine strong in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm."
"The third place is called Situ Gongming, he is a disciple of a big family in Chu Yunguo, his cultivation method is the Feihong Heart Sutra, and the main martial art is the Cross Collapse Palm, which is also a prefecture-level secret book, and he is an eightfold powerhouse in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm. ”
"The fourth place is called Tan Fengqi, he is a disciple of a big auction house in Chu Yunguo, his cultivation technique is the Phoenix Fire Sutra, and the main martial art is the Flame Rush, which is also a prefecture-level secret book, and he is an eightfold powerhouse in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm. ”
"The fifth place is called Luo Tingzan, a disciple discovered by a great elder of Luo Tianzong when he traveled, and the cultivation method is Ten Thousand Thunder Jue, the main martial arts Thunder Light Dance, and they are also all ground-level cheats, and they are eightfold powerhouses in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm. Wang Yue took a look and realized that he was also a master among Luo Tianzong, and extremely smart geniuses also abounded. It seems that he is really not a powerful character in it.
"The ninth place is Wang Yue's fateful enemy Li Rui, a disciple of the Li family in Zhenyuan City, the cultivation technique is the Heaven Cutting Technique, and the main martial art is the Heaven Splitting Technique, the Eightfold Strongman in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm. ”
It seems that this Li Rui is not an idle person. However, after all, this list is only the result of the secret observation of some inner door elders, and it is not the real strength of these people, and it can only be used as a reference. ”
"I'll take a look at the general list!" Wang Yue looked at the potential list, and finally set his sights on the overall list.
"I didn't expect that the outer disciples on this list are even more Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are more than 20 powerhouses in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm Ninefold Strength, and there are more than 40 disciples with the Eightfold Strength of the Transcendent Realm. On the overall list, Wang Yue was even assigned to the fifty-first. Wang Yue smacked his lips in surprise, and sighed in his heart. It seems that if there is no breakthrough in his strength, it is really not enough to see. But even so, he won't give up the chance to compete for the first place so easily.
"Senior Brother Wang Yue, what are you looking at here? Do you want to buy some information?" Just as Wang Yue was looking at the list intently, Li Delong leaned silently to Wang Yue's side.
"Li Delong, is that you?" Wang Yue saw Li Delong as he turned around. It can be said that after Tian Feng left, Li Delong was one of the few friends he had in Luo Tianzong.
"Of course it's me. Senior Brother Wang Yue, I know that you are very concerned about Li Rui's situation. I've got the scoop on him here, so how about giving you half the price. It's definitely cheap, and it's not bullied!"
