"Senior Sui, then I will accept your invitation. I won't say too much, it's all in my heart." I clasped my hands together, unable to hide my gratitude.
"Haha, don't thank me too early. Actually, I am not without conditions. Xiao Zhuang, you should have some understanding of the difference between the Jianghu and the martial arts world. Although the True Martial Pavilion is above the Six Great Dojos, we are only a Jianghu faction and cannot enter the eyes of the martial arts world sects. Of course, there are some small benefits. In terms of management, the True Martial Pavilion is actually quite good. Moreover, in the spirit of positive development, the Jianghu faction has set up a special promotion competition. The Jianghu factions will compete with each other, and the winner will represent the Jianghu faction to challenge the current martial arts world sects.
Once they succeed, they will be promoted to a martial arts world sect! "Pavilion Master Sui cleared his throat and said everything in one breath. From his face, there was a strong sense of expectation.
"So there is such a thing!"
I actually didn't understand these things, but after listening to Ling Zetian's teasing, I roughly guessed that the True Martial Pavilion should be an unranked sect. Now that I look at it, it can't even be considered a martial arts world sect.
However, when Pavilion Master Sui said this, I already understood the meaning behind his words. "Yes, yes.
In the previous few promotion competitions, the True Martial Pavilion directly forfeited. Although we can win against the other Jianghu factions, we can't challenge the martial arts world sects. Since no Jianghu faction has been promoted successfully, after a discussion among the major martial arts world sects, this will be the last competition. Therefore, a few months ago, I signed up. No matter what, I have to fight for it, at least I won't have any regrets. "Pavilion Master Sui said slowly. He paused for a while and then added.
How do I put it? These disciples of the True Martial Pavilion are usually well-trained, and all of them are passable. However, when it comes to the critical moment, they start to drag us down. After what happened today, I have seen through them. If we rely on them to deal with the Jianghu factions, they can still bully the weak, but if they meet a truly strong enemy, I'm afraid they will be so scared that they will directly admit defeat … "
Pavilion Master Sui shook her head and had a helpless look on her face. Actually, they could not be blamed for this. The cultivation environment was different, and it caused an insurmountable gap between the disciples of the pugilistic world and the disciples of the pugilistic world. If Ling Zetian had not raised the condition of joining the Five Venoms cult, it was very likely that no one would compete with him.
Ling Zetian's original plan was to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Even if he didn't kill the disciples of the True Martial Pavilion, he would at least cripple a few of them. This way, he could also demonstrate the deterrent power of the martial arts sects. That was why he had chosen his target. That guy had never thought that he would end up like this even when he died.
"Oh, Senior Sui, you can't be saying that you want me to participate in this competition, right …?" I asked despite knowing the answer.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Zhuang, you are too smart. You can understand it with just a hint!"
Pavillion Master Sui couldn't say these words bluntly, in case I rejected him. That would be very awkward. On the other hand, there wouldn't be any pressure from such subtle hints. If I pretended not to understand his hidden meaning, Pavillion Master Sui could just treat it as a complaint.
"Uh, Senior Sui, do you think I can do it?"
To be honest, although my strength was passable, I had not come into contact with the people of the pugilistic world. From the current situation, the strength of the protectors of the Five Venoms cult was still very terrifying. My greatest reliance was undoubtedly the Pure Yang Blood Essence. It had saved my life more than once.
However, I faintly felt that the reason why the Blood Demon chose to reside in my Dantian should be related to the Pure Yang Blood Essence. Moreover, he hadn't looked for me for so long. It was very likely that he was waiting for an opportunity. As the saying goes, it's fine if you don't make a sound, but if you do, you can amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. This was also suitable for him. No matter what, I had to be on guard.
"Of course you can. The rules of this promotion competition are a bit different. There are no restrictions on the participants using divine weapons, including defensive equipment. Although the foundation of the pugilistic world's sects is unfathomable, the number of divine weapons nowadays can be counted with one's fingers. In this aspect, you have an absolute advantage. Not to mention, you also have this Ice Silkworm Soft Armor. The current you is like an eagle waiting to take action. There is such a vast sky waiting for you to roam. Don't tell me you are not tempted, boy?" Sui Yunxiao's words carried a strange magic power.
My heart was pounding. Although I came from the countryside, my father had taught me since young that a good man should aspire to travel far and not limit his vision to a single village. Even if he became the village chief, he wouldn't be able to achieve anything. I didn't understand this before, but now that I had come into contact with higher levels, I realized that this was indeed the truth.
"Senior Sui, the key is that I am now a member of the Guowei Dojo. How can I represent the True Martial Pavilion in the competition?!" I scratched my head.
"Isn't that simple? I will talk to Old Chen later and directly give you the title of an in-name disciple of the True Martial Pavilion. Of course, if you don't like it, you can directly become my closed-door disciple. Hehe, I'm just afraid that Old Chen won't agree …" Pavilion Master Sui sighed with regret for not having met me earlier. If he had accepted me as his subordinate before Grandmaster Chen, I would definitely be a capable right-hand man. Moreover, the future of the True Martial Pavilion would also be bright.
In fact, he also had some selfish motives. Strictly speaking, although the Guowei Dojo had surrendered to the True Martial Pavilion, it was still a force of the pugilistic world. In other words, I could completely represent the Guowei Dojo in the competition. At that time, the special honor and so on would have nothing to do with the True Martial Pavilion.
Even if I agree to this matter, I still have to convince Grandmaster Chen. Although the National Might Martial Arts Dojo is not as good as the True Martial Pavilion, with such a peerless genius, Grandmaster Chen's right to speak has naturally increased. If he is 100% unwilling, Pavilion Leader Sui will also have a headache.
Looking at Sui Yunxiao's expectant face, I felt a little embarrassed. The most important thing was that the Blood Demon had yet to be eliminated. If he stirred up trouble at the critical moment when I was participating in the competition, many things would be out of control.
