Zhao Yunsheng appears to be humble and even friendly to others, but in fact he is already stubborn to an incredible degree.

The sect’s number one prodigy, the position of sect leader, this is his obsession, or it can be said that this is the idea that has been instilled in him since childhood.

He must be "someone else's child"!

He can sacrifice for his honor, he can sacrifice himself to save others, but... he will not allow anyone to take away his honor!!

With this kind of mentality, he gradually developed a certain hostility towards his dear junior brother Qin Zi.

Even though he knew that he shouldn't be like this, he couldn't control his emotions, just like he couldn't control his joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

He's a very strange person inside.

He knew that as long as Qin Zi lost to him and was inferior to him, he would still treat Qin Zi as his dear junior brother.

It may even generate kindness from the heart.

But if Qin Zi suppresses him, there will be no room for maneuver, and the two can only go to opposite sides!

And this day.

Their confrontation began.

Death Canyon Assessment!!

This is one of the large-scale assessments within the Seven Martial Sect, which can accurately measure the strength of the disciples and is held almost every year.

The Death Canyon is divided into twenty-three levels in total. The deeper you go, the more powerful the mechanisms and puppet warriors inside.

Generally speaking, being able to pass thirteen levels is already considered pretty good, and the strongest disciples in the sect can only pass fifteen levels on average.

And Zhao Yunsheng reached the seventeenth level last year!

In fact, for many years in a row, Zhao Yunsheng has been far ahead of others and firmly occupied the throne of the sect's number one genius.

But this year, I'm afraid it will be different.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

"ah!!"

"My waist is broken!"

"I can't do it anymore, quit!"

"I give up!"

All kinds of sounds were heard in the Death Canyon, including the sounds of fighting, the sounds of machine gun explosions, and the sounds of wailing.

There are people secretly monitoring every level of the Death Canyon. As long as any disciples can't hold on, someone will take them out.

So there were many injuries, but few deaths.

As time went by, more and more disciples were carried out of the Death Canyon, and each of them had a sign hanging on their body.

The numbers written on it are their grades.

"Hahaha, I finally made it to the tenth level this year. It looks like there's hope of getting into Junior Sister's inner circle."

"Hey, hello, Junior Sister. Since I broke into her inner circle last year, I have broken through two more levels this year!"

"Junior Sister Huang Die seems to be quite heavy, is your waist okay?"

"Well... To be honest, I just suffered a setback because of my waist. If I hadn't sprained my waist last night, I could have made it through another level."

Some disciples were discussing.

At the same time, they also kept their eyes on the exit of Death Canyon, looking forward to the results of those talented people.

"Brother Wu Cen, level eighteen!"

"Brother Wu Xiu, level seventeen!

"Brother Lu Chong, level seventeen!"

"Senior Sister Zuo Xuan, level eighteen!"

…

As more and more geniuses emerge, everyone is getting more and more excited. The most eye-catching this year are, of course, Senior Brothers Zhao Yunsheng and Qin Zi!

Some people have even set up gambling games privately.

Will Senior Brother Zhao Yunsheng continue to win the championship, or will Senior Brother Qin Zi come from behind? They wait and see.

"He's out! Senior Brother Zhao Yunsheng is out!"

Finally, they saw a figure slowly walking out, holding a sword in his right hand and covered in blood.

He staggered so much that the sign hanging around his neck swayed from side to side. Everyone looked carefully and could barely see clearly that the number written on the sign was... twenty-one!

"Level 21!!"

"Senior Brother Zhao Yunsheng has reached the twenty-first level!"

"I heard that the 20th level is equivalent to the combat power of the first level of Nirvana, and the 21st level is equivalent to the second level of Nirvana!"

“He actually crossed the huge gap between the Pure Yang Realm and the Nirvana Realm and took another step forward!”

“It’s so terrifying!”

"I think there should be no suspense about the first place this time. Senior Brother Zhao is worthy of being Senior Brother Zhao."

Everyone was talking excitedly.

Those admiring looks made Zhao Yunsheng unconsciously smile.

This is the feeling he wants.

He looked back at the Death Canyon and thought, Qin Zi couldn't have gone further than him, right?

Although we had heard that Qin Zi had escaped from the hands of five Nirvana Realm powerhouses before, that was just an escape.

Who doesn’t have some means of escape?

Being able to escape does not necessarily mean being able to fight.

Moreover, those five people who reached Nirvana were most likely just ordinary people who had just broken through, and they were not necessarily that powerful.

Thinking of this, his hostility towards Qin Zi weakened, and he added the word "junior brother" to the way he addressed Qin Zi in his mind.

"Junior Brother Qin Zi must have had a difficult time. After all, it was his first time. Maybe he got stuck at the 19th level and wasted time..."

"When he comes out, how should I comfort him? Well, I can say that he is still young and there is no need to rush... huh?!"

Suddenly, his brows furrowed.

Still young?

If you do the math, Qin Zi seems to be only eighteen years old, while he is almost twenty years old, a difference of almost two years!

Therefore, at the same age, Qin Zi has actually surpassed him, and by a lot...

After a long while, he took a deep breath.

Then he consoled himself: "It's okay! I am two years older than him now, and I will still be two years older than him in the future. I will be two years older than him forever!"

"As long as my absolute strength is stronger than his, he won't be able to catch up with me. What's more... I'm the type who will succeed late in life."

He tried his best to suppress the dark side of his heart.

He actually doesn't want to be evil.

Who doesn’t want to be an upright, united, friendly, clear conscience and respected person?

"Look, Senior Brother Qin Zi is coming out!"

"Look at his brand!"

“Hiss!! That…that is…”

"Impossible, this is impossible!!"

The crowd cried out in horror and almost fell to the ground.

Zhao Yunsheng's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly had a bad feeling. He took a deep breath and slowly turned his head to look.

Qin Zi was seen limping out of the Death Canyon, also covered in blood, and his sign read... Twenty-three!

Cleared!!

At this moment, Zhao Yunsheng's mind went blank, and like a thunderbolt, an unprecedented sense of shame swept through his body.

He looked down at his own sign. The golden number "Twenty-one" on it stood out so clearly.

Level 21 was originally a glorious achievement, but at this moment, it made him feel so humiliated!

He lost to Qin Zi, completely.

His eyes turned red.

I just felt my eyes were very hot, as if blood was about to drip out, and even as if tears were about to flow out.

However, he gritted his teeth and held back.

He told himself that he had to hold back. Even if he lost in public, he couldn't lose his composure! !

"Brother Qin Zi, congratulations, you have passed the twenty-third level. I heard that the sect will have special rewards for you."

Zhao Yunsheng walked over with a smile.

"Ah? Really? I didn't know that."

Qin Zi scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I was practicing a martial art just now, and I entered a state of ecstasy, and I passed the level without knowing it."

Zhao Yunsheng only felt his heart contract violently, and a mouthful of blood rushed up his throat, making his mouth taste sweet.

But he swallowed it back.

"Haha, is that so? Junior Brother Qin is really hardworking. No wonder he was able to pass the level. I should learn from you."

Zhao Yunsheng said with a smile.

"Ahem, you're welcome. You're welcome."

Qin Zi coughed twice, feeling a little uncomfortable. His intuition told him that it was not appropriate to be arrogant now.

"When I was fighting just now, I suddenly had some insights. I will go back and meditate to digest them. Come on." Zhao Yunsheng smiled and patted Qin Zi's shoulder, then turned and left.

"Goodbye, Senior Brother Zhao."

Qin Zi said quickly that he could feel that Senior Brother Zhao was not very happy, which was also normal.

Whoever loses will be unhappy.

But he didn't know how unhappy Senior Brother Zhao was. After all, everyone's concepts, personalities, and tolerance levels are different.

"Brother Qin Zi, you are so awesome!"

"Brother Qin Zi, please sign your name for me. Write it here."

"Brother Qin Zi actually passed the twenty-three levels. This is simply unprecedented. You are the sect's number one prodigy!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I can't even imagine it."

A group of disciples surrounded him and showed great courtesy to Qin Zi, with all kinds of supporting roles appearing one after another.

These sounds fell exactly into the ears of Zhao Yunsheng, who had not walked far yet, and made him quicken his pace.

His steps became faster and faster.

Finally, he walked to a place where no one noticed him, took off into the air, and then came to a deserted valley.

The Seven Martial Sect covers a large area, and there are many such deserted valleys, which are often the places where many couples cooperate.

“Ahhh! How could I lose? I won’t accept this!!”

He roared, and the power in his body gushed out violently, pouring out in all directions without restraint!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Crash! Crash!

The stone walls on both sides continued to explode, and a large amount of rocks rolled down and hit the small river in the middle of the valley, splashing high water.

Even as his power ran wild, the river water began to explode violently, producing large amounts of water mist.

After a long time, he finally finished venting. He knelt on the ground with his knees, supporting the ground with his palms, and gasped heavily.

“Why, why!!”

He roared in a low voice. Although he was unwilling, he felt a strong sense of powerlessness - if we have Yu, why do we have Liang!

"Well, enough is enough."

At this time, a calm and old voice sounded, with a hint of sigh.

Zhao Yunsheng slowly raised his head and looked forward.

I saw an old man in a green robe with a transcendent demeanor, standing with his hands behind his back, standing on a protruding rock in the middle of the river.

"grandfather."

Zhao Yunsheng pursed his lips and called out in a low voice.
