Chapter 34: Rivals
On the second day, the ring was crowded with people early.
Of the eight branches of the royal family, in addition to the strongest royal family, the king of Nanling has a strong strength. The remaining two branches also have some strength, and the remaining four branches are all small branches, and perhaps in a few decades, they will be expelled from the main branch of the royal family and become the close branch.
Therefore, the annual Tianlun Ranch hunting is a good opportunity for those small branches to make friends with the royal family and the Nanling Wang branch. In addition to the intercourse of the chiefs of the various tribes, the sons of the various tribes are also the objects of friendship, because they will become the heads of the tribes in the future and inherit the thrones of each tribe.
Emperor Zhenyu knew it, but he pretended not to interfere in the affairs of the royal family, but was represented by the old patriarch. And Li Haotian was complimented by several weak children of the same age, and he was about to find the north.
"Boy, you're not going to be like that. A few nice words will make you flutter. The racket reminded me in time.
Li Haotian hurriedly collected his thoughts, "I won't be like this, I'm just acting on the spot." I have the strength to sit still. ”
"Hmph, you're messed up when you sit on a stool. The racket scoffed.
Li Haotian didn't refute it, he also knew that those people were talking to him for the sake of future development. And if he really becomes the emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, his subordinates also need someone to work for him. So he secretly wrote down these people, took their farewell to them, and jumped into the ring.
Li Haoyang was waiting there for a long time, and he hugged his fist at Li Haotian and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I met you in the competition last year." It's a pity that at that time, there was only an eighth level of pulse disciples, but the prince was a level ten pulse disciples. Naturally, he was defeated by the prince and was ridiculed by the prince. It's just that today's prince is at the eighth level, and at the lower ninth level, the strength and weakness are reversed, I don't know how the prince feels?"
Li Haotian looked at his opponent and secretly said that this Dongling King is so arrogant and arrogant. And I didn't expect that I would have such a festival with Li Haoyang, why didn't the third brother Li Haoyun remind him when he talked to him just now? By the way, he also has his little abacus, hoping that he will lose.
It seems that if he is really defeated by Li Haoyang today, the end must be very miserable, he will not remember his identity as the prince, and his subordinates will be merciful, otherwise he will not say what he just said.
Of course, he will not lose, and last night the racket had discussed with himself the preemptive tactics, although there were some villains, but they were in line with the rules. Thinking of this, Li Haotian sneered: "Since the world brother has the idea of revenge, let the horse come over, the world brother knows that the prince has no intention of making matters worse." Although my pulse level is temporarily lower than that of the world brother, if this prince is half a point timid, he will kneel down to you on the spot. ”
"Okay, as the prince of a country, your words are like gold, and you can't go back. Li Haoyang sneered.
"That's nature. It's just that no matter how high or low your pulse is, you're still not my opponent. Because the gap between you and this prince is not above the pulse level. Just like I am the prince of Tianlong, and I am not even the prince of the side branch. ”
Li Haotian's words were vicious, and he hit Li Haoyang's sore spot. He screamed angrily and angrily. As soon as the gong sounded, he swung his fist and rushed forward.
How could Li Haotian show weakness, he also met with a punch, but the punch suddenly opened halfway, and a pulse talisman was already grasped in the palm of his hand.
Seeing this, Li Haoyang secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly withdrew his fists and retreated. However, the pulse talisman in Li Haotian's hand had already emitted light, and it exploded four feet in front of him, turning into a whirlwind and sweeping over.
Wind Dao majored in the Wind Pulse Technique, and among the ten low-level Pulse Talismans he gave to Li Haotian, there were five Wind Pulse Talismans. These five realms were all made by him himself, and their power was already at the top of the ranks among the beginner pulse talismans.
Li Haoyang suddenly opened his mouth and actually spit out a water vein talisman.
With a "boom", a wall of water and a whirlwind met in the air, and the whirlwind swept away the wall of water, but there was not much of his own strength left, and it finally disappeared.
"Damn! Li Haotian was shocked, and at the same time understood that the other party had already prepared to attack him with a pulse talisman, and he was even more concealed from his mouth, if he hadn't preemptively forced the other party to use the pulse talisman in his mouth, he would definitely suffer a big loss.
Li Haotian became nervous, but without a moment's pause, he showed his boxing skills and rushed forward.
Li Haoyang relied on his pulse level to be one level higher and swung his fist to meet him. It's just that he was extremely careful at this time, in case Li Haotian came out again.
After a few rounds, Li Haotian had a slight upper hand, but Li Haoyang was also guarding every drop, Li Haotian was anxious, and after taking a look, he withdrew a fire vein talisman.
"Go!" Li Haotian shouted, turned around and threw out the fire pulse talisman, but he didn't expect Li Haoyang to also take out the pulse talisman at the same time and throw it out with his hand.
It is another water system vein talisman, and it seems that the Tanglin King has many water system pulse skills.
Water and fire met, the water talisman had a slight upper hand, and Li Haotian dodged a few times before avoiding the water jet. Two veins came out in a row, and his face turned pale and he gasped heavily.
Li Haoyang suddenly smiled, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the ninth and tenth levels of the pulse disciple have enough pulse qi to send out three pulse runes, but the eighth level can only send out two pulse runes. As he spoke, he reached out and took out another pulse talisman, which was still a water talisman, and it was the same as the second water talisman, with several water knives painted on it.
Li Haotian gasped for breath, naturally there were more ingredients in this pretend. However, it is true that most of the pulse qi in the body has been consumed. It's just that he is also a ninth-level pulse disciple, so naturally he can also send out a third pulse talisman. However, in that case, his pulse level will be exposed.
"You don't have to think about that. The racket suddenly said, "Even if it is revealed that you are a ninth-level pulse disciple, we still have a back hand." ”
"What's the backhand?" Li Haotian said strangely.
"Don't forget, you've already cultivated to the peak of the ninth level, and if you work harder, it's not impossible to cultivate to the tenth level. Said the racket.
"Level 10? My promotion to the third level in March is already very amazing, is it a bit too rebellious to raise the level overnight?" Li Haotian worried, in fact, he was worried that such a rapid increase in pulse qi would have a bad impact on his future cultivation.
"If you just cultivate such a speed under the teaching of that stupid person of the Wind Knife, you will naturally go against the sky. But if you cultivate under the teaching of Lao Tzu, this is just a normal level. Said the racket.
Li Haotian has no other way at this time, because as long as he defeats the opponent in front of him, he will enter the top two, and his ranking will exceed that of last year, which can be regarded as an explanation.
He thought about the sudden burst of laughter, and his pulse raced. Li Haoyang, who was on the other side, felt the pulse on Li Haotian's body, and his originally smiling face suddenly turned into surprise.
"You...... You're also a Pulse Disciple Level 9?"
"Since you see it, you still don't surrender?" Li Haotian said, rushing forward.
As soon as Li Haoyang's original advantage in his heart was gone, he was suddenly a little flustered, and the pulse talisman in his hand was thrown towards Li Haotian. The pulse talisman turned into more than a dozen water knives in the air and struck at Li Haotian.
Li Haotian knew that he couldn't dodge, and he also waved the wind talisman in his hand.
The whirlwind swept up the waterjet, and both disappeared at the same time.
But Li Haoyang ignored his pale face and rushed over a little staggeringly. He was two years older than the crown prince, so he should naturally have more strength. Moreover, the prince was injured, and the pulse qi had only just recovered to the ninth level, and he had been in the ninth level of the pulse disciple for more than half a year, and the ninth level and the ninth level were also up and down, although they were very small. But when the pulse qi is exhausted when the three pulse talismans are thrown in a row, that small gap is the key to determining the victory or defeat.
"Pulse Qi Punch!" Li Haoyang's voice was not loud, but he was full of confidence.
Li Haotian sneered, and also punched out.
With a "bang", the two fists collided, and Li Haoyang took a few steps back and fell to the ground, his face like gold paper. But before he fell unconscious, he glanced at Li Haotian opposite him and found that although Li Haotian was pale, he was standing steadily.
His pulse is actually stronger than his own.
Li Haoyang finally fainted, Li Haotian forced himself to salute everyone, and walked out of the ring with a weak foot.
"Fourth Brother Prince, you have actually recovered to the ninth level of the Pulse Disciple. Nanxiang waited for Li Haoyun to say in surprise.
Li Haotian just wanted to answer something, his body was crooked, and Xing'er was supported by the eunuch next to him.
"Don't be pushy, boy. You have consumed too much pulse qi today, so go back to the room immediately, absorb the pulse stones, take the pill to restore the pulse qi, and at the same time try to break through the tenth level of the pulse disciple. ”
Li Haotian secretly said yes and was helped back into the room.
Emperor Zhenyu on the dragon chair was surprised, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. The prince's performance this time basically reached his satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, you are so insidious in concealing the prince's vein. King Tanglin sneered.
"King Tanglin, the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit. Haoyang's method of swallowing the pulse is not above board. ”
The king of Tanglin did not know how to defend himself, but watched his son go. The old patriarch next to him glanced at Emperor Zhenyu a few times, and there was a sense of surprise in his eyes.
Emperor Zhenyu obviously felt the old patriarch's unkind gaze, but he got up and said goodbye: "Uncle Wang, I have taken a look at the prince's situation and lost his company. ”
