After Li Chengfeng walked off the stage, the crowd was in an uproar. Angry curses and roars were like raging waves crashing against the shore.
Before, many of them had cursed Li Chengfeng, but it was only because they had placed their bets and hoped that Li Chengfeng would lose. They did not hate Li Chengfeng.
But now, they hated Li Chengfeng because they had placed their bets, and Li Chengfeng had caused them to suffer a huge loss.
Ah Xiu was also stunned. She was not distressed by the one thousand taels of silver she had invested, but … she was shocked by Li Chengfeng's fighting skills.
Where was the casting time?
Where was the finger technique?
Where was his magical weapon?
She did not see any of these!
Ah Xiu sucked in a breath of cold air. She glanced at Grand Senior Sister and saw that her face was still expressionless, as if she had expected this scene.
Ah Xiu whispered, "This guy, he's got some skills huh?"
Grand Senior Sister snorted and said, "This is just the beginning!"
This sentence had a profound meaning. She had high hopes for Li Chengfeng, but at the same time, she had low hopes for him. Ah Xiu stood there and thought for a long time. She really could not understand whether Grand Senior Sister had high hopes or low hopes.
Shanxue also stared at Li Chengfeng from the crowd, but soon, amidst the angry curses, Li Chengfeng turned a blind eye and walked off the stage. His figure was no longer visible. Only then did Shanxue withdraw his gaze. His face was gloomy, and he did not say a word.
Huangfu Song said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. I have already given the order to attack Li Chengfeng with all their might!"
Shanxue glanced sideways at Huangfu Song, stretched out his hand and pressed it on his head. He said coldly, "Who told you to do this?"
Huangfu Song wanted to dodge, but he felt that Shanxue's hand had reached out, and he felt as if he had been pressed to the ground, unable to move. He broke out in a cold sweat and said carefully, "Isn't this kid your sworn enemy?
Junior Brother thought … "
"You thought?"
The veins on Shanxue's forehead bulged. He moved closer to Huangfu Song and grinned viciously. He gritted his teeth and said, "I always thought that your lack of strength was due to your lack of talent. Now it seems that the real reason for your lack of strength is because of your stupidity!"
Huangfu Song was not convinced, but he did not dare to talk back. He suppressed his anger and lowered his head. Shanxue also tilted his head and looked up at Huangfu Song. He grinned and said, "Do you think an ant is worthy to be my enemy?
Junior Brother Huangfu? "
Huangfu Song finally understood. In Shanxue's eyes, an ant like Li Chengfeng was not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as him.
Huangfu Song hurriedly said, "Junior Brother knows his mistake!"
Shanxue's fingers tightened slightly, and Huangfu Song felt as if his head was about to explode. His back was drenched in sweat, and his whole body was trembling. Shanxue moved closer to Huangfu Song's face and stared at him like a demon, almost suffocating him.
"He's mine!
You're not allowed to touch him! "
Shanxue glared at Huangfu Song with a murderous look. Huangfu Song's mind went blank, and he nodded subconsciously. After Shanxue left, Huangfu Song felt the air around him flow again, and all his strength returned to his body.
On the other side, Li Chengfeng did not know what was happening. When he left the arena, he punched Xiaobao and Han Tianxing's shoulders, then patted Yuehan's head. "It's all up to you now."
Li Chengfeng's victory was so easy that it swept away the heavy atmosphere in Hidden Sword Court. Everyone was in high spirits.
Ouyang Nan laughed heartily. "I knew you'd win, but I didn't think you'd win so easily!"
Xiaobao mumbled softly, "Who was the one who was so nervous just now?"
Ouyang Nan blushed and pretended not to hear. He said seriously, "But I still have to say, Zhou Jing 'an still lost because he underestimated you. He doesn't understand your fighting style, much less your fighting techniques. But as you fight more often, you'll reveal more of your trump cards and everyone will understand you better. That way, you won't have any secrets to hide."
"That's why those who can make it to the end are the strongest among the strongest!"
Ouyang Nan said solemnly. "Because in the long series of battles, under everyone's watchful eyes, you have almost no secrets!
Especially when you win more, you'll become the target of everyone's attention!
Your fighting style, your habits, your spells and treasures will all become research targets to counter them. To make it to the end, you must have absolute power! "
Li Chengfeng nodded seriously, then thought for a moment. "Who's my next opponent?"
Han Tianxing quickly said, "Hidden Brocade Court's Ma Yaowei."
Xiaobao asked, "How do you know?"
Han Tianxing pointed into the distance. "Look at it yourself."
Everyone looked over and saw that on a cliff far away from the Hall of Martial Arts, near the mountain, there was an incomparably huge array diagram. These array diagrams were all drawn by the water that flowed down from Mount Wen Tian. The water was controlled to flow into the invisible grooves in the mountain, forming lines of names and array diagrams.
The top of the diagram was like the tip of a pyramid. There were only eight empty rankings at the top, and there were also empty rankings at the bottom. There were more than a hundred of them respectively. Further down was the ranking list for the first round of matches. There were all sorts of names on it, and the first one on the top left of the first zone was Li Chengfeng's match against Zhou Jin 'an.
Now that Li Chengfeng had won, his name lit up in red while Zhou Jing 'an's dimmed. Ma Yaowei's name appeared next to it.
At the same time, Li Chengfeng's name appeared seven to eight rows away, next to Ma Yaowei's.
However, above both their names, Li Chengfeng's name silently formed a number: three, indicating his score.
This change greatly stimulated most of the Spiritual Mountain Sect disciples. It was like a race that had just begun. Everyone had their own rhythm and plans. Some planned to exert their strength in the early stages, while others planned to give up early to avoid the strong opponent. However, when the leader suddenly exerted his strength, those with weaker willpower could not help but feel anxious. They began to follow the rhythm of the leader and began to run and rush around randomly.
The four courts of the Spiritual Mountain Sect were a mix of good and bad. There were top cultivators like Grand Senior Sister and Shanxue, as well as trash like Qu Tongqiu, Zhao Yibai and Zhang Jinbao. But no matter how useless they were, as long as they had the slightest bit of desire, they would all hope to get a good ranking.
Because persimmons had to pick the weak ones. With so many people, who wouldn't pick a few weak chickens?
For example …
"Wow, Xiaobao, look, your opponent is here!
Hidden Modesty Court's Lu Qianji! "
Ouyang Nan patted Xiaobao's shoulder. "Tianxing, your opponent is here too!
Hidden Modesty Court: Sun Chun? "
When he heard this name, Han Tianxing's expression changed. He clenched his fists, veins popping on his forehead as he sneered through gritted teeth.
Xiaobao was confused. Hidden Modesty Court's Lu Qianji?
Who was that?
What was he good at?
How many magical treasures did he have?
What were the uses of magical treasures?
What spells were they good at?
He knew nothing about any of these.
Li Chengfeng patted Han Tianxing and Xiaobao's shoulders. "Don't worry, they don't understand you either. You guys fight your own battles and they'll fight theirs. Just show them what you're good at."
Li Chengfeng's words were directed at Xiaobao. As for Han Tianxing, he had no hope at all. He did not think Han Tianxing could go far. After all, they were both newbies. Li Chengfeng had a good foundation from a young age and had all sorts of opportunities. What did Han Tianxing have?
Li Chengfeng patted Han Tianxing's shoulder and reminded him seriously, "Don't give yourself too much pressure. To you, the most important thing is to train yourself and broaden your horizons. At the same time … survive, don't force yourself!"
Han Tianxing pursed his lips and did not say a word. He did not comment but his eyes were stubborn.
Li Chengfeng knew that although he could help people, he could not control them. Everyone had to choose their own path. The only thing he could do was … find a greedy fatty, and … use all his strength to squeeze oil out of him, just like he used to do in the past.
