Chapter 95 A-Cai is angry
Subconsciously, Wu Shaogan smiled.
Zhong Cai took a deep breath, her nostrils filled with the smell of blood and burnt food!
He's so angry!
·
When Wu Shaogan began to cut his wrists and release the arrows, Zhong Cai's happy smile gradually disappeared.
When Zhong Cai saw Wu Shaogan's face gradually turn pale, becoming ashen like a real ghost, her own expression also turned grim.
And then the explosion—
Zhong Cai also wanted to explode at that moment.
Damn it, does he think he doesn't know?! This mess was definitely caused by Old Wu himself!
It's just a ranking contest. If it doesn't work this time, there's always next time. Why go to such extremes?
Old Wu definitely got carried away towards the end!
Zhong Cai wanted to calm down, but a thought kept swirling in her mind: perhaps Lao Wu had learned something from the battle and was acting immediately out of necessity, not intentionally.
but!
Old Wu blew himself up!
How can he calm down!
With only a sliver of reason remaining, Zhong Cai barely managed to stop herself from rushing into the explosion.
But when the ragged old man appeared, at the very moment Lü Yezhou conceded defeat...
Zhong Cai then went on stage.
He didn't even know how he got up there; he just realized that when he came to his senses, he was already facing his old man's face.
All that's left is his face.
·
Zhong Cai had a belly full of swear words, but she held them back and didn't let them out.
Old Wu still dared to smile at him!
What are you laughing at!
Does he look like he can actually smile?!
Zhong Cai gritted her teeth, wishing she could immediately beat the man up.
They wanted to smash Old Wu's chest, but it's already blown open; his heart is practically exposed.
I wanted to slap his head, even though his face was intact, but he had several bloody cuts on his forehead. I don't know if there's anything wrong with his brain. What if he gets a concussion?
He probably wanted to kick his butt. He saw the guy's back earlier, and it was all tattered and torn too!
How did he make his move?
He couldn't bring himself to do it!
Zhong Cai took another deep breath.
The strong smell of blood...
Zhong Cai: "..."
He quickly took out a level-three healing pill and stuffed it into Wu Shaogan's mouth.
What are you looking at? Hurry up and take your drugs!
Immediately afterwards, he quickly took out at least a dozen top-grade Zhiyun Pills and stuffed them all into Wu Shaogan's mouth.
Eat, give me more!
·
Wu Shaogan's injuries are healing rapidly, and many of the torn skin and flesh are quickly closing up.
The charred flesh fell off, and new flesh grew rapidly.
New flesh and blood quickly enveloped his exposed bones.
Wu Shaogan obediently took the pills.
They'll eat as much as you give them.
Then, he was enveloped in the warm medicinal power, which soothed all his injuries.
Many of the internal injuries that were caused by the shock healed quickly.
·
Zhong Cai breathed a slight sigh of relief after witnessing these changes firsthand.
The third-grade pill he gave to Lao Wu was Lao Wu's monthly allowance, which the two of them had received.
Thanks to Master Jiang's subsidy, I received a top-grade level three healing pill.
Normally, Zhong Cai would never allow Lao Wu to take any pills other than top-grade ones, but Lao Wu was about to blow himself up, so what was there to hesitate about! He should take it quickly! Heal first, then we'll talk about it!
However, Zhong Cai was still worried that the treatment with the top-grade level three pills would not be timely enough, so she fed him a large amount of Zhiyun Pills again.
Increase the medicinal power and work together with the level 3 pills.
Fortunately, it was still useful.
After being fed such a large amount of pills, Old Wu did indeed recover very quickly.
·
Zhong Cai watched quietly, trying her best to keep a straight face.
But his eyes were involuntarily filled with heartache.
At the same time, many thoughts were running through his mind.
When I learn the third level of alchemy, I need to refine the best-quality alchemy that removes impurities.
When the time comes, Lao Wu should take it regularly.
Cleanse away the impurities from this top-grade level three pill...
·
After the blood-red dragon appeared on the battle stage, many disciples were stunned.
Unexpectedly, the dragon head wasn't enough; even the overall shape was formed during just one battle?
Even if this secret technique is still in its incomplete prototype, it's probably not far from being perfected!
Furthermore, everyone could sense that when the complete dragon body appeared, the meaning it contained was quite different from that of the sword-qi dragon.
Clearly, the new secret technique that Junior Brother Wu has mastered already contains more of his own ideas.
As the battle between the two sides became increasingly intense, everyone quickly realized that Junior Brother Wu's actions were actually guiding Senior Brother Lü's true form and avatar to approach the two fighting dragons without leaving a trace.
Not long after, something terrifying happened—
Junior Brother Wu forcefully detonated the blood-red dragon!
You must know that at that moment, he, Senior Brother Lü's true form, and his avatar were all within the blast radius!
Sure enough, after holding their breath and waiting for a while, everyone saw the tragic scene on the battle stage.
It's a complicated matter that's hard to explain in a few words.
Before the disciples could even turn around, they saw a handsome and intelligent young man leap onto the fighting platform.
Then, everyone watched in disbelief as the arrogant and unpredictable Junior Brother Wu, who was known for his strange and unpredictable behavior when he got into a fight, suddenly calmed down and even showed a hint of... pity on his handsome face.
Then, the young man kept feeding his junior brother Wu pills.
Junior Brother Wu recovered very quickly.
That's exactly what it looks like...
No matter how you look at it, it's...very well-behaved.
It's a long story.
·
Everyone watched the scene unfolding on the battle stage.
As soon as Junior Brother Wu recovered, the handsome young man turned around and jumped off the fighting platform, running towards the outside of the valley.
Junior Brother Wu immediately gave chase.
Strangely, Junior Brother Wu did not use any movement techniques; instead, he simply ran with long strides.
Before long, the clever young man patted the beast saddlebag and released an extremely majestic and enormous azure roc. He leaped onto it and was carried away by the azure roc.
Junior Brother Wu didn't follow up. Instead, he used his movement technique to soar into the air and closely followed Qingpeng's side.
In the blink of an eye, Qingpeng disappeared into the horizon.
Junior Brother Wu also disappeared into the horizon.
The numerous disciples watching: "..."
During this time, no one spoke; only silence spread throughout the surroundings.
·
At that moment, someone finally remembered Lü Yezhou and quickly went over to help him up.
Lu Yezhou was a little embarrassed, but he really had nothing to be ashamed of.
So he let his two fellow disciples from the same faction take him off the stage, and he took out a healing pill and ate it.
Then, it seemed as if the air finally started flowing again.
Sitting on the battle platform, Lü Yezhou saw the scene more clearly. Now, thinking back on it, he couldn't help but find it amusing: "Junior Brother Wu and that very handsome junior brother seem to have a rather close relationship."
Seeing that Lü Yezhou still had the mind to joke, the other disciples also chimed in:
“That is Junior Brother Wu’s Daoist partner, Junior Brother Zhong Cai.”
"Junior Brother Zhong has been here with me the whole time; their affection for each other runs very deep!"
“Junior Brother Zhong is a pill refiner, although he is only at the second level. He can produce a lot of top-quality pills, which will be of some use to Junior Brother Wu.”
“Junior Brother Wu’s fighting style is too… fierce. Junior Brother Zhong must be feeling sorry for him.”
"I think she's not only heartbroken, but also furious!"
Lu Yezhou took another pill to restore his Xuan power, raised an eyebrow, and said, "So, Junior Brother Wu blew my avatar half to pieces on stage, destroyed my secret technique, and left me in a state where I'll need several days to heal. So domineering and arrogant..."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh as they listened to Lü Yezhou's rambling.
Is it fair to say that Senior Brother Lü is holding a grudge by teasing him like that?
Then, Lü Yezhou jokingly said with a smile, "...After he goes back, I'm afraid he won't be able to explain it to his Daoist partner."
Everyone burst into laughter.
The difference between Wu Shidi's behavior before and after is truly hilarious.
So much so that they forgot their shock for a moment. This junior brother Wu was making his first attempt at the rankings and immediately became the number one person to achieve enlightenment.
Such impressive results are truly remarkable.
·
Shao Qing, Qiao Ming, Wu Dongxiao, and several others who were more familiar with the couple all had subtle expressions.
They were naturally very worried about Wu Shaogan, and their hearts were pounding because of his performance on the battle stage. But after it was over, Wu Shaogan was quickly healed by Zhong Cai, and they were filled with a mix of emotions.
They knew Wu Shaogan was exceptionally strong, but when he challenged Lü Yezhou, they still didn't think Wu Shaogan would win.
After all, Lü Yezhou's ranking is highly prestigious.
The group already had high hopes for Wu Shaogan, thinking that in a year or two, he might succeed.
But no one expected that Wu Shaogan could learn while fighting and almost caused a real "mutual destruction".
That's a bit crazy.
Wu Dongxiao was always protected by Xuan Bing, and at some point, Xuan Bing began to hold his hand.
Xuan Bing asked in a low voice, "Should we go back or take another look?"
Wu Dongxiao said, "Senior brother, let's go back."
Then, the two of them, one big and one small, walked outside.
Occasional conversations drifted by.
"Senior brother, please give me more challenges."
"Because of your uncle?"
"Uncle is so amazing, I don't want to lose face."
Xuan Bing's voice still carried a hint of amusement.
"Afraid of being called... a tiger uncle and a dog nephew?"
"I'm also afraid people will say, 'Tiger Senior Brother, Dog Junior Brother.'"
"Hahaha……"
"By the way, senior brother, if we were at the same cultivation level, who would be stronger, you or my uncle?"
"We'll only know after we fight it."
"oh……"
·
Qingyu carried Zhong Cai all the way back to Duobao Peak.
Zhong Cai sat on Qing Yu's neck with a tense face, her whole body radiating displeasure.
Wu Shaogan flew beside Qingyu, his eyes fixed on Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai could certainly feel that gaze, and her face tightened even more.
Neither of them noticed that Qingyu had quietly slowed down her flight.
Suddenly, Wu Shaogan let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground.
Qingyu's body stiffened.
Zhong Cai quickly patted Qing Yu's back.
Oh no! Old Wu only recovered from his injuries but didn't replenish his Xuan energy! We're running out of Xuan energy!
Qingyu descended with the momentum.
Zhong Cai instinctively stretched out her arm and grabbed Wu Shaogan's wrist.
Wu Shaogan raised his eyes.
Zhong Cai pulled the man up expressionlessly and gave him a push.
Wu Shaogan stepped back.
Zhong Cai nudged him again.
Wu Shaogan retreated again.
And so, Zhong Cai pushed Wu Shaogan toward Qingyu's tail feathers.
Then, Zhong Cai returned to Qing Yu's neck alone.
The two, one at the head and one at the tail, maintained a considerable distance from each other.
Zhong Cai sat silently, her back tense.
Wu Shaogan did not move forward again, but sat directly behind Zhong Cai, still watching intently.
Zhong Cai felt as if her back was being burned.
But he just wouldn't turn back!
·
A blue feather landed on Duobao Peak.
Qinghui rushed out from the mountains and rubbed against Zhong Cai.
After freeloading off Zhong Cai, Qinghui went to freeload off Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan was jostled and knocked off balance.
Zhong Cai: "..."
Qinghui came to him first, and he knew how much effort she put in.
Then you'll be leaning to one side and crooked to the other!
Pack!
Stop pretending!
Zhong Cai quickened her pace and walked straight into the mansion.
Wu Shaogan followed without hesitation.
·
Although the inner courtyard is very large, the distance between the mountains is also far, and the cultivators are not densely distributed...
However, the Hidden Dragon Ranking and the Azure Dragon Ranking are places that cannot be ignored.
Every day, countless cultivators are scattered around the Hidden Dragon Ranking in various places, and countless cultivators are near the Azure Dragon Ranking.
They are all paying close attention to the situation on both lists.
On this day, countless people naturally noticed the changes in the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
·
Suddenly, a name appeared on the list, displacing over 190 other disciples who were guarding the list.
Judging from the current time, he is clearly a new disciple.
It's rare for a new disciple to succeed on the leaderboard directly, but when it does happen, it means that the disciple has great potential!
Many people were optimistic about this new disciple when they first saw him, thinking that his ranking would rise even higher after being trained by the academy for a period of time.
But it wasn't long before these disciples realized they hadn't thought things through.
These new disciples have actually increased in number again, and there are dozens of them all at once!
That should be the limit, right?
The potential is already terrifying.
result……
Not long after, it surged again.
The disciples in other locations: "..."
They inquired everywhere and gradually found out what had happened.
Some disciples quickly headed towards the location of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
However, some disciples felt that the place was too far away, and by the time they got there, the battle would probably be over. They thought it better to wait in front of the stone tablet here, or exchange information with others.
Soon, those disciples who didn't go regretted it.
Who could have imagined that the new disciple could be so formidable, advancing unstoppably to the top of the Enlightenment Realm?!
Many more messages followed.
They were shocked to realize that the new disciple was only at the first level of enlightenment!
Even though there's no real deterrent effect between those at the Enlightenment Realm, reaching the first level of Enlightenment means that he/she has only recently entered that stage.
The polishing time is certainly not as long as that of other consecrated practitioners.
They managed to reach the top...
He's a monster.
At that time, countless inner court disciples were running around trying to watch the recording of the new disciple's ranking competition.
However, this event was so shocking to those who received the news from afar that those who were watching up close had no interest in recording it.
Only the final challenge against the eighth-ranked player was recorded.
At that time, the new disciple had already shown extraordinary strength, and since he was facing off against such a high-ranking disciple, it naturally aroused the interest of countless people.
It was only natural that they recorded the video.
The video quickly spread, and the scene of the battle between the two sides amazed countless disciples.
There is naturally a bias when recording video.
Thus, countless disciples witnessed a remarkably clear dragon of sword energy... and the new disciple whose demeanor changed drastically as the battle progressed.
All of this caused quite a stir in the inner courtyard.
Not only were the disciples discussing it, but the news also reached the mentors.
·
Meijiashan Mountains.
The highest peak, in front of the palace at the summit.
Ji Fanghua stood respectfully beside a sixth-level alchemist, Master Mei.
·
In the past few days, Master Mei Dan has been instructing Ji Fanghua to keep an eye on the situation of Master Sang Dan's new disciples, and Ji Fanghua has done so.
Naturally, she soon discovered that Junior Brother Zhong had actually gone to participate in the badge assessment and directly suppressed Qiu Yuan.
Upon hearing such good news, Ji Fanghua naturally reported it immediately.
After her master, Master Mei Dan, finished refining the pills he had on hand, he learned from her that he was going to take her to meet Master Sang Dan.
Ji Fanghua was also happy to go and become a familiar face.
However, before the two even left, other spies had already learned about the changes on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!
The Mei family also pays attention to Zhong Cai's Daoist partner, but not as much as they do to Zhong Cai.
As a result, they discovered that Zhong Cai's Daoist partner was also exceptionally outstanding!
He's directly entered the eighth place on the Hidden Dragon List!
Such an achievement is truly unprecedented.
So Master Mei Dan decided to investigate further before reporting the news.
She did just that.
·
After the master and disciple bowed, the palace gates did not respond.
Then a voice rang out, informing them that Master Sang Dan had temporarily left.
Ji Fanghua was somewhat disappointed.
Master Mei sighed softly, "Master Sang should go and gather precious herbs."
Ji Fanghua responded.
Mei Danshi then took Ji Fanghua away.
Such situations have been common in the past. Master Sang Dan puts a lot of effort into searching for high-level rare herbs, and he must have hired a powerful martial arts cultivator to go to some ruins to search for them.
·
Wu Shaogan's excellent results would naturally be reported to Jiang Chongguang.
However, Jiang Chongguang was not there either.
Therefore, the news about the Hidden Dragon Ranking was reported to Jiang Chongguang's junior brothers and sisters.
These junior brothers and sisters knew that their senior brother had only recently left.
It's not fair to blame Jiang Chongguang for leaving early; after all, no one would have expected that his new junior apprentice would be competing for rankings so soon.
Even if you go, it's normal to fail the first few times.
Even if you successfully break through, it will likely take a lot of time to get to the top.
But who could have imagined that... it would end up like this?
The group exchanged glances and quickly discussed their options:
"My junior brother has displayed such talent; if I don't reward him, wouldn't he feel disheartened?"
"If my senior brother were still in the academy, he would definitely celebrate wildly!"
"If we wait until my senior brother comes back to give him the reward, it will probably be too late, and it will also dampen the child's ambition."
"This junior apprentice has really accomplished in a single day what would have taken several years to complete!"
"My senior brother mentioned to me that with my junior's terrifying talent, he should be able to break into the top fifty within a month..."
"I underestimated him! I underestimated him! When my senior brother comes back, I'm going to make fun of him! How could a master underestimate his disciple like that!"
"I'm going to laugh too!"
"I also……"
"Gentlemen, let's not get off topic. Let's think about what reward to give our junior disciple."
"In my opinion, my junior nephew is very promising in cultivation. Let's just give it to the Xuanzhu directly."
"How much is appropriate?"
"Of course, it's the grand prize! No need to say more, ten million Xuanzhu."
"Ten million...that's a good amount."
Several experts at the Spirit Transformation Realm quickly made a decision.
As for who will provide the Xuanzhu?
Although it was just a small amount of money for them, they split it equally to show their care for their junior apprentice.
·
The turmoil on the Hidden Dragon Ranking not only stirred up waves in the inner courtyard but also quickly spread to the outer courtyard.
Yes, the students in the Foreign Languages Department can also see the Hidden Dragon Ranking and the Azure Dragon Ranking.
Although the vast majority of disciples in the outer academy will not be able to enter the inner academy and will only become "fated disciples" who have some connection with the Azure Dragon Academy, they still need something to look forward to.
In the central valley of the outer courtyard, two stone tablets stand.
The one on the left is the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and the one on the right is the Azure Dragon Ranking.
In comparison, cultivators on the Hidden Dragon Ranking are at least easier to catch up with in terms of cultivation level, and they also receive more attention from outer court disciples.
Every day, many outer court disciples check the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
This period coincides with the beginning of the new student's studies, when everything is new and exciting, and it's not yet time for classes to begin...
Naturally, there are also many cultivators who keep an eye on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and try to learn more about the disciples on the Hidden Dragon Ranking every day.
When the Hidden Dragon Ranking changed, many disciples were amazed.
The clever ones quickly realized that a new disciple had been listed.
Although they were also new disciples, the new disciples in the outer court were especially excited compared to those in the inner court.
When the final rankings were announced, many of the new disciples felt extremely honored.
Even so, their relationship with the eighth-ranked member of the Hidden Dragon List was merely that of fellow new disciples.
·
The residence of the outer disciples.
Unlike the inner court disciples, who almost all have their own independent residences, the outer court disciples are too numerous, and their residences are all similar buildings clustered together in different mountain peaks and valleys.
Each disciple's residence is a small courtyard.
The courtyard is divided into several rooms, each assigned to an outer disciple.
Only outer courtyard disciples who have reached the level of consecration and illumination can apply to have their own small courtyard.
Even so, it will cost them a lot of money.
·
The eighteenth peak of the right mountain range, where disciples reside on the mountainside.
The gate to the courtyard opened, and a slightly overweight male disciple walked in, sweating profusely.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Junior Brother You! Junior Brother You! Come out quickly!"
From one of the small rooms on the right, a young man in brocade robes walked out, fanning himself with a wooden fan, looking rather dashing.
The young man in brocade walked to the stone table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to his slightly chubby disciple, then poured one for himself. He asked leisurely, "Senior Brother Qian, why are you so excited? Have a cup of tea to soothe your throat first."
The slightly chubby disciple, Qian Xi, picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. He took a few breaths, but still said excitedly, "You haven't been out much these days, so naturally you don't know the situation."
The young man in brocade smiled and said, "I would like to hear the details."
·
This young man in brocade robes is none other than You Xiang, the transmigrator of the book.
After successfully entering the School of Foreign Languages, You Xiang obediently followed the school's rules.
Those who are required to participate in assessments should participate, and those who are required to obey instructions should obey.
They don't cause trouble at all.
The only thing that involved using some "money power" was applying for a small courtyard to live in, based on his supposedly enlightened spiritual attainment.
However, the rent for this courtyard was too expensive, so You Xiang rented it with Qian Xi.
Qian Xi was a friend You Xiang made during the assessment. He was also from a relatively wealthy family and had a very easy-going personality.
After the two moved in together, there were indeed no conflicts.
You Xiang prefers to stay quiet whenever possible, while Qian Xi likes to go out and gather information.
For You Xiang, Qian Xi is doing quite well.
Qian Xi likes to talk a lot, and You Xiang can also get a lot of information from him.
There was another important reason why You Xiang became friends with Qian Xi—he also learned that the Qian family, from which Qian Xi came, was probably just a background figure.
He read through those seven or eight hundred chapters and found that none of the well-known villainous factions had the surname Qian.
As for whether any of the forces he couldn't recall, which might be cannon fodder, had that surname, he didn't remember.
If you don't remember, then it must be unimportant.
Therefore, You Xiang's relationship with Qian Xi was relatively safe.
We can't let a minor setback cause us to give up on everything and end up living a completely isolated life.
·
This time, Qian Xi did not immediately explain the details to You Xiang.
You Xiang laughed and said, "Senior Brother Qian, are you still keeping me in suspense?"
Qian Xi chuckled: "It's not really about keeping you in suspense, but it's really pointless to tell you here. How about this, come with me, and you'll find out why."
You Xiang rarely saw Qian Xi so excited, and he became somewhat curious as well.
He thought about it and decided that he couldn't let his informant down, so he would cooperate.
You Xiang also showed a curious look, stood up and said, "Since Senior Brother Qian says so, then I look forward to it."
Seeing this, Qian Xi was also very happy. He patted You Xiang on the shoulder heartily and laughed loudly, "I guarantee you won't be disappointed! Come with me!"
You Xiang immediately followed.
·
After leaving the courtyard, Qian Xi took out a third-tier leopard and called You Xiang to come up with him.
The swimming boat naturally complements the design.
The leopard ran swiftly, and under Qian Xi's command, quickly arrived at the huge valley.
You Xiang suddenly realized: "Senior Brother Qian, do you want me to take a look at these two inner academy rankings?"
He hadn't come to visit before, as he had just finished his exams and had some things to take care of.
Qian Xi said with a smile, "When can't you look at this list? I invited you here because the changes on this list are relevant to us!"
You Xiang was taken aback, then realized: "Could it be that a new disciple has made a name for himself?"
Qian Xi immediately said, "Junior Brother You is so clever! That's right!" He seemed to have thought of something, becoming even more excited than before, his cheeks flushed slightly. "Moreover, not only are there new disciples on the list, but their rankings are also extremely high! Junior Brother You, you absolutely cannot imagine just how high those rankings are..."
As they were talking, the leopard had already carried the two of them to the vicinity of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
Swimming head flipped over and landed.
Qian Xi excitedly urged You Xiang to go see the list.
You Xiang was very cooperative, but in essence, he wasn't very interested.
He's read countless novels; he's seen this kind of plot far too many times.
No matter which faction it is, there will always be outstanding figures in each generation! It's normal for new disciples of the same generation to rise to high positions.
After all, Xuan Bing, who was on good terms with the protagonist in the original book, was once a prodigy who topped both the imperial examinations.
Even the protagonist suffered a loss at Xuan Bing's hands, and the protagonist even felt a sense of camaraderie with him.
Although Xuan Bing had already left the Hidden Dragon Ranking due to his age when the protagonist met him, he still held a very high position on the Azure Dragon Ranking.
It will definitely be higher than it is now.
You Xiang thought that after becoming a person in this world, unless his family members who were very good to him had excellent grades, no matter how outstanding other people were, they would just be like living novels in his eyes, and there was nothing to care about.
·
Qian Xi dragged You Xiang to stand below the Hidden Dragon Ranking and began to ramble on: "You have no idea, after this news came out, I used all sorts of connections to inquire everywhere, only to find out that this Senior Brother Wu had been..."
"Junior Brother You, look! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that a new disciple could directly reach eighth place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!"
"The eighth person is the number one in the Enlightenment Realm!"
"Junior Brother You, I have something to tell you..."
Qian Xi's voice was loud and frequent, and You Xiang listened casually while looking up.
My gaze kept sweeping upwards, and everywhere I looked, there were unfamiliar names.
This is not surprising, after all, the Hidden Dragon Ranking belongs to the inner academy, and it is mostly composed of former disciples...
You Xiang finally saw the eighth spot on the leaderboard.
Three large characters are clearly engraved on it:
Wu Shaogan
You Xiang's eyes widened, and the wooden fan in his hand fell to the ground with a "crack," breaking into pieces.
Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan.
Is it the Wu Shao Gan that he knows?
In that instant, cold sweat broke out on You Xiang's forehead and back.
I sweat instinctively.
You Xiang's heart was pounding, and he could barely control his emotions.
Wu Shaogan, Jingzun.
Jingzun, Wu Shaogan.
The two nouns collided in his mind, almost leaving his thoughts blank.
His mind went blank.
I can't think of any other questions at all.
·
After saying a few words, Qian Xi suddenly noticed the silence around him and quickly looked towards You Xiang.
Upon seeing this, Qian Xi was also taken aback.
What's wrong with Junior Brother You?!
After only a few words, Junior Brother You's face turned deathly pale, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had collapsed in an instant.
But nothing happened!
What exactly happened to Junior Brother You?
Qian Xi was completely baffled, but felt that You Xiang's current state seemed somewhat delusional.
He didn't dare hesitate and quickly pulled You Xiang along, gently shoving him a few times.
·
You Xiang swayed, finally managing to clear his head a little, and then realized that it was Qian Xi calling him.
After taking a deep breath, You Xiang managed to calm down, his voice trembling slightly: "Senior Brother Qian, I'm fine."
At this moment, You Xiang was finally able to think.
Yes, we shouldn't scare ourselves unnecessarily.
Let him think about it carefully.
This world is vast, and any city can have tens of millions of people. Among so many people, it's perfectly normal for them to have the same name, isn't it?
How can we assume that this must be the Mirror Master just because a familiar name appears in the eighth place of the Hidden Dragon Ranking?
We can't make judgments lightly!
·
At this moment, You Xiang forcibly ignored a voice in his heart.
Even though many people share the same name, Mirror Lord is an indispensable character in the story. People with the same name as him shouldn't be ranked so high in an eighth-level power.
He should be a minor character.
In fact, given the influence of the plot, there shouldn't even be such a case of sharing the same name.
·
You Xiang thought about it again, trying hard to convince himself.
What was Mirror Master supposed to be doing at this point in the original book?
Oh right, he should still be in Qianqiao Town, with the protagonist.
Soon Wu Shaogan will die, his soul will be taken away by the supreme treasure, and then the Mirror Venerable will be born.
Yes.
Qianqiao Town is very far from Canglong City; he had calculated it before!
Wu Shaogan couldn't possibly be here! Jingzun couldn't possibly be here!
Moreover, Wu Shaogan in the original book never entered any academy.
Not to mention they even have rankings.
·
You Xiang finally convinced himself, and his complexion improved.
Qian Xi carefully observed from the side, and seeing that his complexion gradually became rosy, he asked with concern, "Junior Brother You, what happened to you just now?"
You Xiang said, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Qian. I just felt a sense of awe when I saw the Hidden Dragon List, which made me break out in a cold sweat."
"It's nothing serious, please excuse my rudeness, Senior Brother Qian."
Upon hearing this, Qian Xi shook his head slightly: "No wonder you didn't come before, Junior Brother You. It turns out you're easily empathetic."
You Xiang gave two dry laughs.
Qian Xi pulled You Xiang away a bit before saying to him, "This time it was my fault, Junior Brother You. Let's go back."
You Xiang glanced at the name again, still feeling a chill run down his spine.
He followed Qian Xi away from the Hidden Dragon Ranking, but after countless thoughts swirled in his mind, he couldn't help but say, "I'm much better now... Senior Brother Qian, you just said that our new disciple has a very unusual background?"
Qian Xi laughed and said, "What unusual origin! Junior Brother You was distracted just now and didn't hear clearly."
You Xiang immediately adopted a listening posture.
Qian Xi said, "After making inquiries from various sources, I heard that this Senior Brother Wu was the top-ranked martial arts cultivator during the assessment! You know, the top-ranked person is surnamed Wu."
You Xiang immediately replied, "Yes, I understand."
Qian Xi added, "Later, there were some rumors that Senior Brother Wu was sent to the inner academy by a golden invitation, and that the sect he joined was extremely powerful. Apparently, it was the most powerful of the senior instructors."
You Xiang, the straight man, said, "Really? Senior Brother Qian, you certainly have good insight!"
Qian Xi nodded and said, "Besides us, there are actually a few disciples from powerful forces who failed to enter the inner courtyard who went to investigate the background of this Senior Brother Wu. I don't know the specifics, but it is said that he does not have a very important background."
You Xiang felt a lump in his throat.
He remembered that the protagonist of the original book was Mirror Venerable's nephew, and neither of them came from a prominent family.
Those two originally came from a top family in a level-five city.
That family can only act arrogantly and domineeringly there.
