After thinking for a while, Gu Qingfeng finally decided to take part in the competition, as he would seek wealth and honor through risk!

Zhang Zheng looked at Gu Qingfeng who was lost in thought, and suddenly froze and said, "Hey, why are you asking this? You don't want to participate in the competition, do you?"

Gu Qingfeng nodded: "Yes, that's exactly what I meant."

Zhang Zheng was stunned, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, why didn't I realize you were so humorous before? You're participating in a martial arts competition? You're at the third level of Qi Condensation, which is one level lower than me, hahaha..."

Gu Qingfeng didn't bother to pay attention to him and asked directly: "Where do I sign up?"

Zhang Zheng was stunned again: "You are not serious, are you?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, the registration will be closed soon."

"Brother Gu, you are my brother, you are really bold! Do you know what others called that Qi Condensation Level 7 Apprentice Exorcist behind his back after he signed up? They all called him a fool, a fool who didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was.

"If a Qi Condensation Level 7 master is like this, how would others address you if you, a Qi Condensation Level 3 master, signed up? They would definitely think you've lost your mind! You're a complete lunatic!"

"As long as we win, everyone will shut up. Tell me, where is the registration address?" Gu Qingfeng was not moved at all.

Seeing that Gu Qingfeng refused to listen and really wanted to sign up, Zhang Zheng suddenly remembered something and looked at Gu Qingfeng with complicated eyes.

"Sign up at the Hall of Righteousness."

"Um."

Gu Qingfeng nodded and turned to leave.

After he left, Zhang Zheng hurriedly took out the Demon-Suppressing Manual from his body, and then flipped to the chapter about demons bewitching the mind, carefully checking what to do if the mind is bewitched by demons.

…

Hall of Righteousness.

At this time, the Zhengqi Hall was crowded with people and very lively.

Only a small number of them came to sign up for the competition, while more people came to watch the fun.

After all, the number of trainee demon slayers at the eighth or ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm was small, and there were only a few hundred of them in total, but the number of people present had already exceeded a thousand.

In the Demon Suppression Division, where the main theme is to slay demons and eliminate evil, such lively competitions are rare, so there are many people who are curious.

There was a table at the main entrance of the Zhengqi Hall, and behind the table sat a low-level deacon, registering everyone.

"Name, cultivation, position."

"My name is Hu Banqing, my cultivation is at the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm, and I'm an apprentice demon slayer of the Seventh Team."

At this time, there were bursts of discussion among the crowd.

"He must be Hu Banqing, huh? I heard that he once killed an armored zombie all by himself."

"Hiss! One person killed the Iron Armored Corpse? Although the Iron Armored Corpse's movements are stiff and clumsy, it is invulnerable to swords and spears. In the past, only strong people in the Inner Qi Realm could kill it. How could he be so powerful when he is only in the ninth level of Qi Condensation? It seems that he is the only one who will be promoted to the Yellow Rank Demon Slayer this time."

"Oh, no, no, have you forgotten the cry of the white horse?"

"What!? But the successor of the White Horse Silver Spear, Bai Ma Ming? He's also participating in the competition?"

"Of course. I saw him sign up not long ago. I heard that he had just returned from slaying a demon. The blood on his silver spear was not dry yet. He looked murderous!"

"This martial arts competition is really worth watching. It's really a fight between dragons and tigers."

"Oh, by the way, Brother Li, I remember you just reached the eighth level of Qi Gathering, didn't you? Why don't you go up and give it a try?"

"Go up and try your luck! Don't you see who's participating in the competition? The eighth level of Qi Condensation is just cannon fodder. If it's so easy to challenge a higher level, why would we work so hard to practice and advance?"

......

"Next." The deacon in charge of registration called out without even looking up after completing the registration.

At this time, a young man with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a frosty face walked out from the crowd. The young man walked up to the deacon with a sword in his arms and spoke coldly.

"Ye Xuan, Qi Gathering Level 7, trainee demon slayer of the 12th team."

"The seventh level of Qi Gathering?" The deacon raised his head and looked at Ye Xuan in surprise.

"Are you sure you want to sign up?"

"Sure." Ye Xuan said concisely.

The crowd around was suddenly in an uproar.

"Did I hear correctly? A mere Qi Condensation Level 7 dares to participate in a martial arts competition?"

"Is this kid still asleep?"

"Hahaha, another idiot with wild ideas has appeared. I don't even dare to sign up for the eighth level of Qi Condensation, and he, who is only at the seventh level, really doesn't know his own limitations."

Listening to the ridicule from the people around him, Ye Xuan frowned and said coldly to the source of the voice: "Humph, a bunch of frogs in the well, if victory or defeat is determined entirely by cultivation, then what's the point of competing? Can't everyone just show off their cultivation? You don't have the courage to challenge yourself, but you dare to laugh at others. You really don't know what you mean."

When the people who mocked Ye Xuan heard these words, they immediately started cursing. At the same time, many warriors at the eighth level of Qi Gathering also spoke up for justice. If the deacon had not been sitting here, a fight would probably have broken out.

"I am self-aware, unlike some people who are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."

"That's right, with your level of cultivation, why don't you just take a piss and look at yourself?"

Just when the crowd was getting excited and denouncing Ye Xuan, suddenly a discordant voice came from the crowd.

"Brother Ye said it well! If victory or defeat is determined entirely by cultivation, then what's the point of competing? Can't everyone just show off their cultivation? That's a great point, I fully agree with it."

As soon as this discordant voice came out, countless people turned their heads and glared at him.

I saw a handsome young man with a smile on his face walking out of the crowd.

The young man was Gu Qingfeng who came to register.

Gu Qingfeng was not panicked by the angry stares from the crowd, but smiled and said, "Brother Ye's courage is admirable, and I am deeply inspired. Originally, I hesitated whether to sign up because of my low cultivation level. Now that Brother Ye has set an example, I will also join in the fun."

Ye Xuan didn't know Gu Qingfeng, but seeing someone speaking for him, his heart couldn't help but warm up a little. He bowed and said, "Brother, you are brave enough to speak for justice. So what if your cultivation is low? We warriors should have a heart to overcome all difficulties and not be afraid of strong enemies. Today, you dare not draw your sword when you see that the enemy's cultivation is higher than yours. It will be the same tomorrow. There will always be people with higher cultivation than you in this world. Wouldn't you dare not draw your sword for the rest of your life?"

Ye Xuan's words were so passionate that many people who were at the seventh level of Body Tempering who were watching were greatly encouraged, and some even applauded.

"Well said. I am also at the seventh level of Qi Gathering. I also want to sign up. What's wrong with having a low level of cultivation? Who doesn't want to give it a try? An apprentice demon slayer who doesn't want to be a yellow-level demon slayer is not a good apprentice demon slayer!"

“I’m signing up too!”

"And me!"

......

"Crazy, all crazy, a bunch of Qi Condensation Level 7 people are here to cause trouble, aren't they?"

At this time, Gu Qingfeng spoke again.

"Brother Ye, what you said is very good, but now I am still a little hesitant, after all, my cultivation is low..."

Ye Xuan interrupted directly: "Brother, I also have a low level of cultivation, but I have also signed up, right? And these colleagues, haven't they all signed up?"

"Yes, yes, we are all at the seventh level of Qi Gathering. What are you afraid of? Let's sign up together." Someone encouraged Gu Qingfeng.

Gu Qingfeng scratched his head embarrassedly: "I am different from you. My cultivation is even lower."

When these words were spoken, the crowd, who were originally in a lively mood, suddenly became stunned.

Still low!? The sixth level of Qi Condensation? Not even the late stage of Qi Condensation?

Ye Xuan was also stunned, thinking, why are you, a Qi Gathering Level 6, here to join in the fun?

You should know that the first, second and third levels of the Qi Gathering Realm are the early stages of Qi Gathering, the fourth, fifth and sixth are the middle stages of Qi Gathering, and the seventh, eighth and ninth are the late stages.

The gap between each stage is very large, and the gap between the sixth and seventh levels is much greater than that between the seventh and eighth levels.

However, seeing that Gu Qingfeng was the first person to support him, Ye Xuan did not have the heart to discourage him and continued, "Good! Brother is indeed very courageous! You dare to participate in the competition at the sixth level of Qi Gathering. Such courage is admirable! As the saying goes, participation is the most important thing. This is a good opportunity to accumulate more combat experience."

"Yes, yes, that's right!"

Some people echoed.

Gu Qingfeng scratched his head again in embarrassment: "Actually... I'm not at the sixth level of Qi Condensation either."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!

Those words of comfort can no longer be spoken.

Suddenly, someone who was outspoken blurted out, "You are only at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, why are you here to join in the fun?"

"Actually... I'm not at the fifth level of Qi Condensation either."

There was an uproar among the crowd.

Ye Xuan was speechless and asked directly: "Brother, what is your cultivation level?"

Everyone pricked up their ears, and looked curious.

"Gathering Qi... triple."

quiet!

Eerily quiet!
