431 The Battle for the Number One on the Talent List
431
In the following days, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo stayed in the city and often went to bars and teahouses, listening to all kinds of gossip and having fun.
Sitting in the teahouse, they could see some cultivators below spontaneously forming cheerleading teams to get votes for the candidates they supported.
Sometimes two or even three teams collided with each other and almost fought, and Feng Ming was very amused.
Soon, the cultivator who ranked fifth on the Talent List also came to Bihai City. His surname was Luo Mingfan. He was tall and strong, and his aura was also very fierce.
Looking from a distance, Feng Ming felt that this person looked more like a wild beast than Xuehuan, but he was indeed a human cultivator, but he took a tough path.
Because of Luo Fan's appearance, everyone in Bihai City knew that the first person on the Talent List had also come to Bihai City, because Luo Fan came here to chase this person.
Although Luo Fan was only ranked fifth, among the four people ahead of him, only Jiang Xiuqi, who ranked first, was the real opponent he had in mind.
Feng Ming heard gossip from others, why Luo Fan, who was so fierce, was ranked fifth, that was because Luo Fan had not made a move for a long time, so Baixiaotang could not improve his ranking.
And it was said that there would be a battle between Luo Fan and Jiang Xiuqi, and then it would be clear what Luo Fan's true strength was, whether he was ranked first or second on the Talent List.
Feng Ming was listening to these gossips, and then he saw Luo Fan walking over from a distance at the other end of the street. He was really a wild beast in human form. He stared at the teahouse where Feng Ming was, which made Feng Ming suspicious.
"Brother Bai, the Jiang Xiuqi that those people are talking about, is he squatting in this teahouse now?"
Because the cultivators in the city have been discussing the people on the list of talents recently, Feng Ming has also become curious about Jiang Xiucai who can be ranked first.
He wants to see what kind of person can become the first talent in Cangnan Territory, and how he compares to his brother Bai.
In his mind, of course, Bai Qiaomo is worthy of this title.
Bai Qiaomo scanned the people he could see in the teahouse, shook his head and said, "Maybe not outside, maybe in a private room."
And he came before them because he knew this person.
Feng Ming's eyes lit up: "Interesting, do you think the two will fight? It's a good opportunity for us to meet the people on the Cangnan Talent List."
At this time, in a private room not far from them, two people were sitting and drinking tea. The movement outside also startled them, and they also heard Feng Ming's unconcealed conversation.
So what if he heard it? Now everyone in the teahouse is talking about Luo Fan chasing Jiang Xiuqi and insisting on finding him to compete.
"Brother Jiang, are you still going to hide? Aren't the cultivators talking outside from our Cangnan Territory?"
Jiang Xiuqi said helplessly: "Haven't you heard that Young Master Hai has two friends from outside, those two outside."
The man next to him suddenly realized: "So it's them, wow, Young Master Hai is really generous, such a big island was half sold and half given to them, I don't know how many people in and outside the city are jealous of them, even me... So, why don't I have such good fortune? "
Jiang Xiuqi shook his head and said, "You only see the surface of things, how can it be so simple? There must be reasons behind this that we don't know."
The man next to him said, "Luo Fan is coming soon, what are you going to do this time, Brother Jiang?"
Jiang Xiuqi shook his head and said, "What can I do? People are here, and if I avoid fighting again, my reputation will not be worthy of my reputation. Let's fight, I will let Luo Fan see that my ranking is not pushed up by others."
"Great, this Luo Fan is too arrogant, Brother Jiang should teach him a lesson."
On the street outside, the tall and burly Luo Fan walked outside the teahouse and stopped, then shouted into the teahouse: "Jiang Xiuqi, Daoist Jiang, come out and fight Luo!"
He shouted three times in a row, and all the cultivators in the teahouse ran to the window to look out curiously.
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo also watched with interest, but Luo Fan, the human-shaped wild beast, had a loud voice, and the sound made people's ears buzz.
At this moment, there was movement in the private room behind Feng Ming and the others. The two turned their heads to look. Bai Qiaomo raised his eyebrows and said to Feng Ming, "The cultivator in the green robe is Jiang Xiuqi."
His voice was not concealed, so Jiang Xiuqi, who had just stepped out of the private room, heard it. He looked towards Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo and nodded to them.
Jiang Xiuqi didn't find it strange that Bai Qiaomo could recognize him, because as the number one on the Cangnan Territory Talent List, his image had already spread everywhere, and he was used to this situation.
But this time he was wrong. Bai Qiaomo didn't know him from the video, but had dealt with him in his previous life.
Feng Ming said in surprise, "He is at the peak of the Soul Opening Realm," and turned back to look at Luo Fan outside the teahouse, "Another peak of the Soul Opening Realm. The people on the Talent List are really amazing."
The names of these two people are not only on the Talent List, but also on the Soul Opening Realm list of the Baixiao List, and their rankings are relatively high.
Jiang Xiuqi walked to a window, and immediately other cultivators made room for him to talk to Luo Fan below.
Jiang Xiuqi was standing in front of the window on the second floor, looking down at Luo Fan below, and said: "Fellow Daoist Luo, you decide the time and place."
"Okay, that's great, let's go to the arena in the city now, and we'll compete. This time, I, Luo Fan, will kick you off the top of the Talent List, and you can only advance to the Fusion Realm as the second on the Talent List."
Jiang Xiuqi raised his eyebrows and said: "Then it depends on whether Fellow Daoist Luo has the ability to do it. Let's go."
After that, Jiang Xiuqi flew out of the window, and his friends immediately followed.
Jiang Xiuqi and Luo Fan ran together to the arena in the city where cultivators could resolve disputes and compete.
On the way, the two figures always kept on the same level, and no one would lead too far, otherwise they would be caught up by the other immediately.
Behind them, a large group of people followed.
When Jiang Xiuqi jumped out, Feng Ming pulled Bai Qiaomo to jump with him: "Hurry, follow him, this is a battle for the first place on the Talent List, you can't miss it."
In just a few breaths, all the customers in the teahouse ran away, leaving only the shopkeeper and the waiter helpless, because it was Luo Fan who took away all the business as soon as he came.
The arena in Bihai City is very large, because cultivators often come here to resolve disputes. Random fighting is not allowed in the city, otherwise they will be captured and expelled by the city guards.
At this time, in addition to the large number of cultivators who followed Luo Fan and Jiang Xiuqi, there were also cultivators who rushed from all directions after receiving the news, and the huge arena was instantly filled.
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo arrived in time and occupied a position with a better view. They sat down happily and waited for the two to start the arena battle.
Not long after, Feng Ming found that Ji Yanghong had come, and there was a male cultivator next to him whose momentum was not inferior to his. Feng Ming guessed at a glance: "The person standing next to Ji Yanghong, couldn't it be Xiao Jinheng."
Bai Qiaomo smiled and said: "Yes, that is Xiao Jinheng."
Feng Ming has heard a lot about these two people recently. Seeing them appear here together, his eyes became meaningful.
Another person came over and found Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo.
Feng Ming turned his head to look at him: "Where is Brother Jiang? Are you here alone, Young Master Hai?"
Hai Zhaoling sat down and said: "Junior Sister Jiang's master is here, and Junior Sister Jiang wants to accompany her, so I had to come alone."
Then he also said with shining eyes, "Who do you think will win this ring battle? The gambling table has been opened outside. Do you want to place a bet? I'll let someone place a bet for us."
Feng Ming asked him in return: "Who do you think Young Master Hai will win?"
Young Master Hai Looking at the two people who were facing each other on the stage, they said, "Let's bet on Jiang Xiuqi. Although this person looks similar to Ji Yanghong, both of them are vain, but I don't like Luo Fan even more."
Luo Fan's ranking on the Talent List was earned step by step, and most of his defeated generals had bad results. Several of them died, and some were injured so badly that their cultivation not only failed to recover, but also declined, ruining their future.
How could Young Master Hai like such a violent person? So although he didn't like Jiang Xiuqi, he was still willing to let Jiang Xiuqi win.
Feng Ming also said readily: "Then let's bet on Jiang Xiuqi to win."
"Okay."
The two of them each took out 10,000 Yuan crystals, medium quality, and asked the followers of Young Master Hai to run over and place the bet for them.
Bai Qiaomo was happy: "Brother Ming, aren't you worried that Jiang Xiuqi will lose?"
Feng Ming said generously: "What are you afraid of? It's just 10,000 Yuan crystals. We can afford to lose."
Hai Da Shao agreed: "Yes, we can afford to lose."
Feng Ming had just finished saying this when he whispered to Bai Qiaomo: "Brother Bai, who will be better between these two? Has Luo Fan ever defeated someone named Jiang before?"
Bai Qiaomo's smile became even brighter, and he whispered back: "Don't worry, Brother Ming will definitely win."
Feng Ming almost cheered. If he could win, who would want to lose? After all, it was 10,000 middle-grade Yuan crystals.
So Feng Ming sat there and watched the ring battle calmly. As soon as the referee announced the start, Luo Fan attacked like a fierce bear.
He was wearing a boxing glove with spikes on it. Once hit by such a fist, the feeling and situation would never be good.
The hair on his head was also like the spikes on his fist, standing up, as if it could stab people.
Jiang Xiuqi's appearance was much better than Luo Fan's, and he was more popular than Luo Fan in the ring. He stood on the ring like a tall pine tree, stretched out his hand and offered a sword. The sword in his hand shook lightly, and gusts of wind surrounded him.
Feng Ming understood: "One of these two people is practicing a metal-attributed technique, and the other is practicing a wind-attributed technique. These two people are indeed very talented."
Bai Qiaomo said: "Not only that, Luo Fan also practiced an earth-attributed technique, and his body defense is extremely good, so he dared to fight with others in close combat, which is very advantageous." So
that's the case, but Feng Ming curled his lips and said: "That's because he hasn't met a real opponent. Who said that his defense is the best?"
Bai Qiaomo smiled and said nothing.
The two people on the stage fought evenly in an instant. One of them was erratic, like a willow tree in the wind, but very tough.
The other was like a violent bear, punching the ring, and the ground of the ring was instantly splashed with gravel.
Then the gravel was carried by the strong wind and swept towards Luo Fan.
"What a trick!" Bao Xiong roared, and the gravel and strong wind were dispersed by his strong force, and he continued to attack Jiang Xiuqi with his fists.
