The next morning, Rong Jian slowly arrived at the Rong family's central martial arts training ground, looking a little listless.
Last night, Fu woke up from a deep sleep. Both he and the weapon spirit were a little excited. They studied martial arts all night long, which resulted in his mental state being a little bad now.
"Ah, puff..." Fu was lying on his shoulder in a daze, his eyes slightly closed, snoring softly.
Rong Jian blinked his sore eyes, unable to hold back, and asked in his heart: "You are a spirit, not a human, is it really necessary to be so tired?"
Fu moved her little body, raised her little hand and grabbed Rong Jian's earlobe, hummed twice, but did not give any explanation.
What should she say? She's a human being, she stayed up all night with this brat last night, and now she's tired and just wants to lie down and do nothing?
Well, she couldn't say.
In response to Fu's rude behavior, Rong Jian turned his head to avoid it, but failed to avoid it, so he let her drag him. In such a small matter, Rong Jian was still able to pamper his own spirit.
Ever since Rong Jian appeared in the training ground, the surroundings were strangely quiet for a moment, and then all kinds of discussions began to sound.
"Hey, look, Rong Jian is coming!"
"So what if he came? I was lucky enough to get a bye yesterday, but that won't happen today. If I run into him, hmph! I'll just beat him to death."
"That's a good chance to meet. Just look at all the people here. Who wouldn't want to face Rong Jian? That would mean they'd definitely advance to the next round!"
"Even if I don't run into him, I'm confident I can make it to the next round! But if I do... I won't let him go so easily!"
"……Why?"
"You just can't stand him! He's clearly just a useless piece of shit without any spiritual roots, destined to be an ordinary person by God, yet he has a fiancée like that who can even help solve his spiritual root problem!"
"Hey, speaking of this, have you heard that Miss Yu also gave him a lot of training resources...?"
"Hmph! Even if he has Miss Yu's support, so what? It's only been a short time. What kind of results can he achieve through his training? Coming here to participate in the competition is simply asking for trouble!"
"That's right. I bet he's still at the first level of body forging. Do you believe it? Hahaha..."
…
Most people felt that even if Rong Jian appeared here, there was nothing to be afraid of. Some even went so far as to watch the fun and loudly mocked and discussed him.
Fu raised his head from Rong Jian's shoulder, glanced at the young men, and sighed softly: "Alas, ignorant humans!"
The corner of Rong Jian's mouth twitched, and all the haze that had just risen in his heart disappeared in an instant.
Yes, these people are ignorant.
Knowing very little about him and only knowing part of the truth, he confidently thought that he could easily crush him... In this situation, how could he not slap him in the face?
Not favored? Then prove to everyone who deserves to be at the top!
With his inner belief strengthened, the ridicule and sarcasm from those around him were no longer a problem. Rong Jian simply ignored them completely and stood aside, waiting.
He had arrived on time, and soon the elders began to arrange the competition, and the young men stopped talking.
From yesterday to today, the rules of the competition are all elimination systems. After all, although the number of Rong family disciples is not large, it is not small either. There are hundreds of people, and among them, most of them are not very strong.
The purpose of the competition is to select the best among the disciples, allocate more resources to them, focus on their training, and improve the hard power of this generation of disciples.
The purpose of the elimination system is to eliminate the majority of those who are not very strong, leaving behind the elite disciples to compete for rankings.
The opponents for the knockout rounds are chosen randomly. Each disciple has a number that belongs to him or her. After being randomly arranged, the elders will tell you who the opponent is.
That's why Rong Lirong said that Rong Jian bribed the elders to get the bye spot. It's because the manipulation was too strong.
Of course, the competition is arranged in this way, in a sense, to ensure that those outstanding disciples can enter the ranking competition after the knockout round, rather than being eliminated from the competition because they competed with people of equal strength earlier!
If there is a dark horse disciple who gets the opportunity and suddenly rises, he can quickly stand out from the competition and attract the attention of the family's top leaders.
Although Rong Jian did not come to the scene yesterday, the number was still there, but he didn't know it.
At this point, everyone's opponents have been arranged. They just need to line up in front of the responsible elder and ask about the match and arena.
In the martial arts training ground, ten arenas were specially built for the competition. Because there were so many disciples, multiple matches needed to be held on each arena.
After Rong Jian arrived, he bowed respectfully to the elder and asked, "Elder, I was not present yesterday and do not know the number. Please let me know."
“…Rong Jian,” the elder frowned, looking bitter, and opened and closed his mouth, as if there was something he was unable to say.
"If the elder has anything to say, just say it." Rong Jian was a little confused. He was just asking for a number. Was it so difficult to say it out loud?
"Well, I'll be frank then," the elder coughed, a little embarrassed, "How about you go back? Don't participate in the competition. Anyway, you passed the first round and your training resources are saved. So, go back?"
Rong Jian: "???" As long as I practice, I must participate in the competition. Isn't this the rule set by your elders? Now you're asking me to go back? Where are the agreed rules?
Perhaps sensing Rong Jian's disbelief, the elder coughed and repeated, "Go back! Don't get hurt here! That's too bad!"
Rong Jian: "..." I am really flattered by your sudden concern!
The elder said, "I'm also suffering from this!" If the Rong and Yu families' engagement had been canceled at that time, led by the Yu family, there would have been no other way. The Rong family could only seek a way out.
But now, isn't this a failure to withdraw? The alliance is still there, so there is time for him to continue to develop the Rong family, train disciples to support the Rong family, and get rid of the decline.
Therefore, nothing must happen to this little guy Rong Jian!
After two months of absence, he finally returned. The Rong family elders breathed a sigh of relief. What if something went wrong in the ring? After all, in a fight, it's impossible to completely avoid accidents, right?
Rong Jian was silent for a moment, then said, "Please tell me, Elder!"
This guy is also stubborn, he doesn't know what his strength is... That's not right, didn't he say Rong Jian was already able to practice? Why can't he see Rong Jian's cultivation level?
The elder narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment. "123, today's match is the third one, arena number 10, against number 21... Rong Lan, level six of physical forging."
It seems that the second son of the family head, who is regarded as a waste by everyone, still has some little secrets!
