Chapter 537
Hua Wenmeng quickly became friends with the Star Sword Sect disciples, and the Eight-Nation Tournament kicked off.
When Fan Hongan saw that Hua Wenmeng was not on the mountain, he knew that he had slipped down the mountain to play again, so he had to contact him actively, hoping that he would not forget his mission. As a result, Hua Wenmeng turned around and gave instructions to his attendants, and asked the attendants to go to Fan Hongan if they had any questions.
Others look for servants to develop their own network of influence, but Hua Wenmeng is the only one who looks for servants to help him do things so that he can be a hands-off boss.
So until the opening ceremony of the eight-nation tournament, Hua Wenmeng did not show up. Ji Peilan smiled and sneered, "He really thinks he is the eldest master. He thinks we all have to cling to him?"
Among these upper realm envoys, there was one with the highest status. Although he did not like Hua Wenmeng's behavior of being a hands-off boss, he also did not like Ji Peilan's idea of stirring up trouble. He said, "Okay, everyone should do their own work well. If something goes wrong in the competition, it will not only affect Hua Wenmeng. There are only a few years left, so let's be calm."
After hearing this, Ji Peilan gave up the idea of causing trouble. Targeting Hua Wenmeng was one thing, but dragging herself into the water would not be in line with her goals and interests. On the other hand, she secretly hated Hua Wenmeng, and at this time, there was someone to cover for him.
Because of this, Hua Wenmeng has been staying safely in the Xingjian Sect, watching the Eight-Nation Tournament with the Xingjian Sect disciples.
After observing the envoys from the upper realm who came on stage, Yuan Jing said to Duan Linzhi: "I am now more certain that Hua Wenmeng is indeed an outlier among these envoys."
Duan Linzhi's eyes flashed with a smile: "Aliens are also good, they can help us increase our understanding of the upper world."
If you want to know the situation in the upper world, it would be best to have the natives of that world explain it to you.
Zhai Yuanhao often sneaked over to the Xingjian Sect, and thus became familiar with Hua Wenmeng. The playful Hua Wenmeng and Zhai Yuanhao, who liked to make friends with all kinds of people, hit it off immediately. Within two days, the two of them were wandering around watching the competitions in various arenas. When Zhai Yuanhao came back, he said to Yuan Jing with emotion: "Brother Hua has a really good eye and his judgment is extremely accurate. I followed Brother Hua to place bets and won several Yuanshi."
Hua Wenmeng said proudly: "It's no big deal. Next time I'll take you to a big game, and I guarantee you'll make a lot of Yuanshi."
Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi were both very upset. What was this guy so proud of? If he couldn't even tell the difference between the generals' competitions with the eyes of a Martial Emperor, how low must his Martial Emperor level be?
Did this guy suffer too many setbacks in the past, so he feels so proud of himself after being praised by Zhai Yuanhao?
Hua Wenmeng roamed around various arenas, but Ji Peilan and the others thought that Hua Wenmeng had run out of Xuanwu City to play. After all, he had played everywhere in Xuanwu City, so it was normal to have such thoughts. But they never thought that he would have so much fun playing with an indigenous warrior.
Hua Wenmeng did feel a sense of accomplishment. Moreover, although Zhai Yuanhao's strength was a little lacking, of course this was viewed from the perspective of an envoy from the upper realm, but his comprehension ability was excellent and he could understand anything with just a little guidance. After watching several competitions, this kid actually made progress.
The rules of the ring competition are very rough and simple, that is, to guard the ring. There are a total of twenty rings, and then they are divided into five groups. In the end, one hundred warriors will be selected, and then half of them will be eliminated, and the remaining fifty will be the winners.
This not only tests a warrior's strength, but also considers a warrior's vision, and requires the warrior to choose carefully.
The Xingjian Sect did not put all its treasures on the last match. The last batch must be the highlight of the entire competition. The strongest batch must be waiting for that time to show their strength to warriors all over the continent, so except for leaving Duan Linzhi to the last, everyone else will go on the stage in different rounds.
As the competitions went on, the atmosphere in the arena became more and more heated. The Star Sword Sect also won seven places, which was a very good result and brought the Star Sword Sect into the public eye.
"So it's the Xingjian Sect. I know this sect. Although it comes from another continent, this sect has always been famous for its sword maniacs. Their fighting power is stronger than that of warriors of the same level."
"I heard that the Xingjian Sect has a hidden warrior this time, and he's aiming for the championship."
"That's impossible. Although I know that the Xingjian Sect is very powerful, there are now eight great empires, as well as many powerful families and sects. There are so many geniuses. No matter how confident the Xingjian Sect is, it is impossible to trample all the geniuses under its feet."
"Once he takes the stage, we'll be able to see how strong he is and whether he has the potential to compete for the final championship."
It was Duan Lin's turn to go on stage. Zhai Yuanhao and Hua Wenmeng, who had gone somewhere a few days ago, immediately came back to cheer for Duan Lin.
Zhai Yuanhao said excitedly: "Come on, Brother Duan, win a championship and show those who look down on Brother Duan, what do you think?"
Yuan Jing said happily: "Brother Duan's strength does not need others' affirmation."
"Is Brother Duan really so amazing?" This was Hua Wenmeng, who didn't know Duan Linzhi's true strength and had never seen him take action.
Zhai Yuanhao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Hua, which side are you on?"
Hua Wenmeng denied it, "Of course I stand on Brother Duan's side, but I heard that two guys took advantage of the last moment to break through to the Martial Saint level. Brother Duan is still a Martial General, right? Can he fight against opponents of higher levels?"
Zhai Yuanhao scratched his head: "It should be possible, eighth brother, don't you think so?"
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "You'll know when you see the ring later."
When the referee announced the start of the last ring match, several figures jumped out from the stage and quickly rushed to the stage. The leaked aura alone made the warriors below the stage tremble all over. The most exciting ring match was about to begin.
Even the envoys from the upper realm in the stands perked up a bit. The previous competition was extremely boring to them. With that kind of strength, they could slap the people off the stage with a wave of their hands. They also knew that the best batch was about to go on stage, so they finally perked up a bit and wanted to see if there were any good seedlings among this batch of warriors that they could select and bring to their side, so as to enhance their strength when they returned to the upper realm.
Jin Huang, a member of the Jin family royal family that is adjacent to the Xingjian Sect, jumped out from the crowd and laughed out loud in mid-air: "Brother Duan, what are you waiting for? Let's each guard one of the rings."
"Okay." Duan Linzhi threw down a word, then raised his foot and stepped onto the stage in a few steps. His movements seemed extremely slow, but he reached one of the stages earlier than others.
As soon as he landed on the stage, another figure appeared: "Are you Duan Linzhi from the Star Sword Sect? Today, let me meet you, the genius of the Star Sword Sect, and see if you are worthy of the name."
But just as he finished his words, the next moment, a figure was thrown out from the stage, and then fell to the ground with a "bang". The sound was so loud that it made people's scalps numb. When everyone reacted, there was a sudden cheer in the venue.
The guy who came on stage to provoke was quite arrogant, but unfortunately his strength was not up to par. He couldn't even take a single blow and was thrown off the stage by Duan Linzhi, who didn't even draw his sword. This made everyone laugh. How could this guy be qualified to judge Duan Linzhi and see if he lived up to his name? With this level, forget it.
The guy got up from the ground in a daze. Hearing the shouts and the laughter from others, his face turned red with anger and shame. But he didn't have the courage to look up at Duan Linzhi on the stage. It was too embarrassing. Duan Linzhi was stronger than he had expected.
Fan Hongan and others in the stands were also surprised: "Finally, there is a warrior worth watching. It seems that this guy is quite strong and can make it to the last step."
Ji Peilan snorted, "So what if you are not weak? You are not even a warrior from the lower realm. Even if you can get a place to go to the upper realm, you still have to work hard from the bottom. Is there a chance to get ahead?"
Although the other envoys felt that Ji Peilan was too arrogant, they did not think that her statement was unreasonable. They had seen many geniuses in the lower realm in the past forty years, but it was so difficult to become a Martial Emperor, let alone go to the upper realm.
They were born in the upper realm, and their starting point alone is the end point that many warriors in the lower realm cannot catch up with even if they spend their entire lives to do so. Facing these warriors from the lower realm, it is hard not to feel arrogant.
Ji Peilan actually hated the idea of genius the most. The geniuses from the upper realm were fine, but in her eyes, those geniuses from the lower realm were nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs. Even this ring battle was nothing more than a bunch of noobs fighting each other.
Ji Peilan felt extremely pleased when she thought of these geniuses from the lower world bowing and scraping before her, hoping that she would slip some cultivation resources through her fingers.
Looking at Duan Linzhi on the stage, Ji Peilan couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to bend this warrior's spine. Would it be more interesting than bending other geniuses?
Duan Linzhi, who was standing on the stage holding a sword and waiting for other challengers, suddenly felt a malicious gaze. He raised his eyelids and looked up, but then looked away after just a brief glance.
No one else noticed, but Yuan Jing was so smart that he noticed all of Duan Linzhi's unusual movements. That glance made Yuan Jing immediately realize that something was wrong. He followed Duan Linzhi's gaze and found that it was one of the only two female warriors among the envoys from the upper realm.
Yuan Jing asked casually, "Who is that female messenger?"
Hua Wenmeng was chatting happily with others. When she heard Yuan Jing's question, she answered without thinking: "That woman is called Ji Peilan. She is a cocky and arrogant woman. Sooner or later, I will smash her face."
Feng Jing, Zhai Yuanhao and others all looked at Hua Wenmeng in amazement. Hua Wenmeng then realized what he had said. It was all because the atmosphere around him was too good, which made him too self-absorbed.
He rubbed his face and looked at Yuan Jing, only to see Yuan Jing looking at him with a smile. Hua Wenmeng's heart skipped a beat, wondering if Zhai Yuanjing could see anything.
He couldn't help but move closer to Yuan Jing and communicate with him using his soul power: "Zhai Xiaoba, why are you looking at me like that?" This title came from Zhai Yuanhao, and it was also to distinguish him from Zhai Yuanhao. He couldn't just call him Brother Zhai.
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "Emissary Hua, what do you think I am looking at?"
