After confirming this, I was very excited. After a long while, I calmed down and started to absorb Dao Qi again to stabilize my realm.
I spent the next few days in the hotel room. After seven days, when the nine apertures in my body had completely stabilized, I received another call from Yang Kaichen. He said that many people from the Guangdong branch had already gathered at the Shenzhen branch. The rules of the Nanyang Daoist sect's competition had also been finalized. The time was set for tomorrow. Chairman Xu told me to go over and discuss the details of tomorrow's battle with everyone.
Although the Nanyang Daoist Sect people had other motives, this matter was still caused by me. What's more, I was also very interested in slapping those Hong Kong people in the face. So without saying anything, I left the hotel and directly took a taxi to the Shenzhen branch.
When I arrived at the conference room on the top floor of the Metaphysics Society, the moment I pushed the door open, I saw a huge commotion inside. There were at least fifty to sixty people sitting there. When I focused, my god, all the people that had gone to the headquarters to reach the Pressure Point Realm through the Dragon Seizing Competition were here. Moreover, they were accompanied by at least one middle-aged or old Fengshui Master.
I took a closer look. Almost all of these old Fengshui Masters were in the Glory of Consciousness realm!
Although I knew that the strength of the Central Plains' Daoist sects was far beyond those ignorant Nanyang people, I didn't think that just the Guangdong branch would be able to produce so many people in the Glory of Consciousness realm.
Before I walked in, someone quickly ran over to greet me. The person walking at the front was Zhang Wenfei from the Meizhou branch.
Before he walked over, I used my Dao Qi to take a look. This fellow already had the cultivation of Pressure Point Realm three apertures.
It had only been half a year since I left the Metaphysics Society. Although his improvement couldn't be compared to mine, Zhang Wenfei was worthy of his two meridians talent.
I smiled and congratulated him. However, this fellow smiled bitterly and complained. "Originally, I thought that I advanced faster than you and wanted to mock you when we met. Who knew that I still couldn't see through your cultivation … Tell me, what realm are you in? How many apertures?"
This question was a little awkward. I smiled and didn't dare to tell him that I had opened nine apertures. I just vaguely said that my cultivation base was higher than his.
After all, it had only been half a year. No matter how talented he was, he still needed time to cultivate. Zhang Wenfei didn't suspect anything. He nodded and said bitterly, "Being a little higher is still higher. I guess I won't be able to achieve my dream of surpassing you in this lifetime …"
At this time, Zhang Wenfei's senior brother, Zhang Kanwen, suddenly appeared. He squeezed himself next to us and said, "Long time no see."
I was startled. Wasn't Zhang Kanwen a member of the Headquarters? Why did he suddenly come here? I asked him and found out that he had heard about the Nanyang Daoist Sect's challenge against the Guangdong branch. He had asked for a leave from the Headquarters to come here.
I blushed with shame and asked Zhang Wenfei: "You're a director of the headquarters, but you're not considered a member of the Guangdong branch, right?"
Zhang Kanwen snorted coldly. "I came from the Meizhou branch. How is that not counted?
Go back and tell Xu Lin that our Meizhou branch must take up one of the slots when it comes to arranging the participants.
Among those barbarian Daoist sects, there are many scum from our Hakka family. Just this time alone, there are at least two.
No matter what, we can't let those barbarians who have forgotten their ancestors turn around and stand on our heads. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Wenfei immediately followed up. "That's right. We Hakka have been taught to be loyal to our nation and country since we were young. Even those who have lived in foreign countries for dozens of years are the same. But those Nanyang clowns and Hong Kong's Ghost Raising Sect have even forgotten who their ancestors are.
Of course, it's not just us guests. Almost all the powerful branches in Guangdong have come. This time, we must let those clowns of the Nanyang Taoist sect wake up and let them know what true metaphysics is. "
I nodded. Even in the metaphysics world, there was a common understanding about the matter of national righteousness. Those Nanyang people might really hit a snag this time. They went for wool and came home shorn.
After chatting for a while, the other people who had gone to the Metaphysics Union with me also came to greet me.
Because this group of people had received my help when they absorbed the true dragon vein, the one with the worst talent had successfully reached the first acupuncture point realm. It didn't sound like much, but since ancient times, many Fengshui masters had wasted their entire lives in the acupuncture point realm. But for us, it had only been half a year.
This group of young people would definitely become the most outstanding generation in the history of the Guangdong Metaphysics Union.
After chatting for a long time, Chairman Xu came over with a wry smile. He urged us to hurry to our seats and sit down. "We need to discuss tomorrow's competition."
After we sat down, Chairman Xu briefly explained the situation. He said that he had discussed with the Nanyang Daoist sect. The competition this time would be divided into five rounds. Both sides would decide the order of the participants. However, it would be announced before the competition to prevent cheating.
The rules were simple. Each person would have one round, and the side with the most wins would be counted. The bet was the same as before. If we won, the Ghost Raising Sect wouldn't pursue the matter of me killing Liang Kaixiong. If they won, they would hand me over to them.
However, this time, the Nanyang Daoist sect had added another condition. If they won, they would give us several Daoist books, including the Ghost Raising Sect's Ghost Raising Technique and the Thai Kuman Thong Refining Technique.
It wasn't a return of politeness. They were mocking the Central Plains Daoist sect for not being as good as the Nanyang Daoist sect. That was why they had given us their basic techniques. They wanted us to study under them.
After President Xu said this, everyone in the audience was furious. A white-bearded old man from the Guangzhou branch stood up, slammed the table, and said angrily, "Little Xu, inform the Nanyang people that we have to change the rules this time. In addition to the one-on-one fight, we have to add another condition. The winner can choose whether to continue fighting with the next person on the opponent's side.
This old man will be the first to fight. I want to teach these Nanyang monkeys a lesson from start to finish! "
The old man with a white beard was called Chen Shuhe. He was the chairman of the Guangzhou branch. From the looks of it, he was of the same generation as Old Man Li. He was one generation older than Chairman Xu, which was why he called him that.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him gave him a thumbs up and praised, "Good job, Old Chen. You're still ambitious despite your age!"
"With Old Chen here, it looks like we came for nothing. Old Chen can take care of those Nanyang monkeys by himself!"
"Old Chen, let's discuss. You fight four and leave the last one to me. How about that?
You came all the way here. At least let us have some meat! "
The group of people laughed and the hatred on Old Chen's face dissipated slightly. He said with a smile, "Guys, don't blame this old man for taking this opportunity. These Nanyang monkeys are too hateful. If I don't take care of them myself, I'm afraid my appetite will be affected in the future."
As soon as he said that, someone else immediately agreed. "Then Old Chen, you have to be careful. Those Nanyang monkeys always like to talk big and are very shameless. Even if you take care of them, you'll probably lose your appetite for a few days."
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this. Then, they started talking about how the Nanyang people used to boast in the past. They laughed as they talked. In the end, President Xu tried to maintain order and called us over to discuss who would get to participate in the tournament.
Everyone wanted this spot. In the end, we could only rely on the overall strength of our respective branches to decide who would get to fight. That was how five branches were chosen.
They were our Shenzhen branch, Guangzhou branch, Meizhou branch, Zhuhai branch, and Foshan branch.
After deciding on the branches, it was easy to decide who would fight.
Since the Nanyang side was all in the Glory of Knowledge realm, the few branches sent out their respective chairmen. Only the Meizhou branch sent Zhang Kanwen, while the Shenzhen branch sent me.
There was naturally no dispute over the four Glory of Knowledge realm going out. Only I, who was in the Pressure Point realm, caused quite a bit of controversy. However, since Chairman Xu agreed, and also with Chen Shuhe's suggestion, everyone felt that he would be able to beat up everyone on the Nanyang side. Even if his stamina ran out and he made a mistake, Zhang Kanwen and the others would go up. As long as I was placed last, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.
Only then did everyone finally agree to this plan.
However, I was slightly unhappy. To be honest, I was very confident in myself. After all, I had fought against Jing Gui and then Yan Nantian's Yang God. I already had a lot of experience in dealing with enemies one level higher than me. Furthermore, my strength had increased by a lot, so it shouldn't be hard to deal with someone in the Glory of Knowledge realm.
However, based on the current situation, if I was placed last, then I most likely wouldn't have a chance to fight.
Unfortunately, my protest didn't work. Uncle Chen and the other senior members of the council had decided the order in just a few words. Then, they didn't listen to my opinion and directly handed it to Chairman Xu, saying that it was the final plan.
In China, the art of Elder Huang had been the orthodox method since ancient times. The Metaphysics world naturally couldn't avoid this rule.
In the end, I could only helplessly accept this result. I was depressed. I reckoned that I wouldn't have a chance to fight in the end.
After the meeting ended, Zhang Wenfei, Xu Shuxing, and the others called me to find a place to gather. Just as we came out of the Metaphysics Society, we unexpectedly met a few reporters blocking our way. They spoke in Cantonese and asked us what we thought of the "Metaphysics Exchange Competition".
