Jiang Li knew that the other party was thinking about him, so he didn't refute anything.
After the two separated, a disciple from the Human Resources Department found Jiang Li and took him to a new residence.
At the same time, Jiang Li's name spread throughout the Rock Sword Sect.
"Have you heard? There's a new disciple named Jiang Li who achieved a breakthrough not long after entering the sect."
"I heard that he has already reached the Great Perfection of Divine Power. How enviable."
"Jiang Li? The one on the competition list? He joined the sect only a short time ago, so he doesn't have any qualifications to participate in the competition?"
"It is said that because this Jiang Li has a strong background, even the Sect Master is particularly polite to him."
"That's just using the backdoor, damn it! I hate connections the most."
"Not only that, even Senior Sister Zhao was particularly gentle to him."
"Isn't it? I heard that Senior Sister Zhao actually smiled at him."
"Hiss, could it be that Senior Sister Zhao is interested in him?"
"I guess that's it."
The rumors became more and more outrageous, and eventually it turned out that Jiang Li was a young master from a wealthy family from outside the domain, and that he was using his family's influence to force Zhao Xueqi to marry him.
For a moment, the disciples of the Rock Sword Sect were all gnashing their teeth at him, clamoring to teach him a lesson in tomorrow's competition.
At this time, Jiang Li was still practicing in his residence, consolidating his realm.
Early the next morning, the Rock Sword Sect was bustling with activity like never before. From time to time, a figure could be seen flying across the sky, heading towards the sect's Martial Arts Trial Hall.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiang Li got up and left the bedroom. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Xueqi standing outside.
"You are not very familiar with the sect yet, so I will take you to the competition venue."
Zhao Xueqi changed into the same set of light armor she wore on Yunlan Star today and said lightly.
"Well, let's go."
Jiang Li nodded, and the two of them took off into the air.
There is a mountain behind the Rock Sword Sect. The top of the mountain looks like it was cut off by a sword, forming a large square.
The Martial Arts Test Hall was built in the center of this square.
Led by Zhao Xueqi, Jiang Li had just walked into the hall when the originally noisy disciples suddenly quieted down and all looked at Jiang Li.
"He is Jiang Li? The young master from the foreign land?"
"He looks pretty good. He doesn't seem like a playboy."
"If we only talk about temperament and appearance, I'm afraid no one in our sect can compare. It's over. I really want to fall in love."
"Humph, so what if he's handsome? If he dares to bully our Rock Sword Sect, I'll make sure he pays for it."
"Hey, it seems like Senior Sister Zhao treats him well. It doesn't seem like she's being forced."
"Isn't it because I'm afraid of his identity? This guy is really abominable."
Jiang Li ignored the fiery gazes around him and followed Zhao Xueqi to a chair and sat down.
Zhao Xueqi introduced the rules of the competition to him.
The rules are actually very simple. You draw lots to compete. The winner goes to the next round, and the loser is eliminated directly.
After Zhao Xueqi left, Jiang Li turned around and saw the chubby Kong Lingyuan trotting over and sitting down beside him.
"Jiang Li, you have to be careful during the competition. If you can't win, surrender immediately."
"The sect disciples are furious with you right now. Everyone wants to beat you into a pig's head. You must not give them the chance."
"In that case, why are you still so close to me? Aren't you afraid that they will be angry with you?" Jiang Li asked curiously.
Kong Lingyuan raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "I don't think they would dare. I am the only direct descendant of the Kong's Trading Company. And I have a feeling that you will help me make a lot of spirit crystals in the future. It's not worth it for them to cut ties with you."
Good man, he is really a money slave.
Jiang Li shook his head and laughed.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't be the one to be beaten into a pig's head."
Brother, you are so stubborn... Kong Lingyuan moved his lips but said nothing more.
On the other side of the hall, Shi Xing and his companions glanced in the direction of Jiang Li and then looked away.
"When did Jiang Li become so close to Kong Lingyuan?" Song Fangliang asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Ge Mengxing said: "I don't know. Considering Kong Lingyuan's personality, which makes him so easily attracted by spiritual crystals, I'm afraid Jiang Li must have given him some benefits."
"If any of you happen to run into Jiang Li later, don't show mercy." Shi Xing said with a grin.
"Of course. Let Jiang Li know his own strengths and weaknesses as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Captain Patrol and the others come back, it won't be just a lecture. In this case, he should thank us." Ge Mengxing said with a sly smile.
Jiang Li was sitting in his seat waiting for the competition to begin. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and looked sideways.
The gloomy boy I saw yesterday was sitting not far away.
Although the other party looked nonchalant, Jiang Li could tell from his six senses that he had been looking at him.
Moreover, he also sensed a hint of murderous intent from him.
Jiang Li's eyes were filled with coldness, and he was also a little confused.
He knew this person, so why would he want to kill him?
Kong Lingyuan, who was standing by, followed his gaze and explained, "That man's name is Yao Fang. He's from the Yao family, one of the four great families in the Rock Galaxy. Are you interested in him?"
"nothing."
Jiang Li took note of Kong Lingyuan's words, then retracted his gaze, feeling a little more wary of the gloomy young man named Yao Fang.
Time passed minute by minute, and at a certain moment, Zhao Yan came in from the gate and landed in the center of the hall. The whole hall suddenly became quiet.
"Today is the day of the sect competition. The top ten will become captains of the Star Patrol Envoy team. In addition, they will receive one hundred mid-grade spirit crystals and a chance to enter the Sword Domain. I hope everyone will seize this opportunity."
"I won't say more. The competition officially begins."
As Zhao Yan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.
The disciples who participated in the competition were all excited, while the disciples who were unable to participate, like Kong Lingyuan, showed envious expressions.
"What is this Sword Domain?"
Jiang Li asked him curiously.
"You don't even know about the Sword Domain?" Kong Lingyuan looked surprised, then suddenly realized, "Oh, right, you just arrived in the Starry Sky not long ago."
"The Sword Domain is a starry sky outside the Rock Planet. It's said to have been an uninhabited planet originally on a collision course with our Rock Planet. However, it was shattered by a burst of sword energy from the Sword God Li Taiyi, turning it into a vast meteorite zone."
"Although so many years have passed, the Sword God's sword energy is still condensed and cannot be dispersed. If you can go there to practice and comprehend the Sword God's sword intent, your cultivation will be greatly improved."
"Now, it has become a holy place of our Rock Sword Sect."
Jiang Li nodded in understanding, feeling faintly excited.
I didn’t expect there would be such a reward in the competition.
Not to mention the one hundred medium-grade spirit crystals, since that sword domain is related to the Sword God, he must go and take a look.
All signs indicate that the technique he uses to refine the world seed must have some connection with the Sword God.
