Originally, there were many people who were eager to try, but I beat them to it, which made them dissatisfied and attracted a lot of attention.
"The middle stage of clear-strength?"
"Uh, he should be a staff member!"
"I think so too. Although there is no cultivation requirement for this selection, he hasn't even reached the concealing strength stage. Isn't he just asking to be humiliated?"
"Haha, it's so funny. The few people before him are the best examples. Even the strong at the middle stage of Concealing strength failed to pass this test, let alone him. Yes, he didn't think about how much time he wasted by passing 30 seconds alone!"
"Don't worry, since he wants to embarrass himself, why don't we just watch him make a fool of himself?"
With my appearance, a wave of sarcastic comments came one after another. This was not surprising. Among all the participants, I was the most special one. I hadn't reached the concealing strength stage, but I came to participate.
Before, they all thought that I was just a staff member. Moreover, the success of Ou Yangjun a moment ago had greatly boosted their morale. It was not surprising that I had jumped the queue and caused some public anger.
In addition to the indignation of these participants, even the judges were not calm.
One of the middle-aged men with Mediterranean hair curled his lips and said, "Hey, young man, are you sure you signed up?"
The judge next to him also echoed, "Yes, don't join in the fun. This place is not for you. Get out quickly."
But at this time, Director Du waved his hand and they immediately stopped talking. "Look at the registration form yourself. This young man is Zhuang Feng." Director Du couldn't help but remind them.
"Pretending?
Why not call him a fool? "
"This name is as funny as him!"
Those participants couldn't help but tease me. But a few judges glanced at the list. They felt that Director Du should not be so bored. Since he took the initiative to remind me, he should have some scruples.
Then, he searched along the name list. "Zhuang Feng, here he is. He is the applicant from Yuncheng. The referee is Tian …" A judge with sharp eyes found Zhuang Feng immediately. When he saw the name of the referee, he was slightly stunned and even suspected that his eyes were playing tricks on him. Before he finished reading, Curator Du patted him on the shoulder and he shut his mouth sensibly.
They couldn't help but look at each other, unable to conceal the shock in their eyes. It was actually the Elder of Heavenly Secrets. It had been more than 20 years since there had been any news regarding the Elder of Heavenly Secrets, and the higher-ups had also announced that his corpse had been found. Only an extremely small number of people knew the inside story. At this moment, their hearts were filled with astonishment. Although this legendary old man had been missing for many years, his glorious life had always been passed down through the Jianghu.
Even they didn't have the guts to doubt the ability of Elder Tianji. In terms of martial arts, there might be nothing outstanding about him, but his divination skills were faintly related to huge interests.
These people's gazes swayed in the arena, and soon, they found the white-haired old man in the corner. The ordinary participants, including the referees, were all in the arena, waiting to see what would happen. As for the big shots with high statuses, they were all in meticulously prepared boxes, quietly watching the situation over here.
At the same time, in a box on the second floor.
Master Ouyang stared at the big screen with an extremely complicated expression. "It's really that old thing. He actually didn't die!"
"Master, why don't we take this opportunity to get rid of him today!
So as to avoid endless troubles in the future. "Beside him, a black shadow suddenly sprang out and asked coldly.
"No, no, you underestimate Du Hongchen too much. He knew that Elder Tianji was coming, so he had already made preparations. If we act rashly, it will only expose our purpose. Let's look at this kid's performance first. Although he's only at the middle stage of Clear Strength, I have a feeling that he has hope to enter the finals!" Master Ouyang shook his head with an expression of expectation.
In any case, Commander-in-Chief Shangguan had already agreed, so he didn't need to be impatient. Otherwise, it would involve even more interests, and it would definitely cause a turmoil in the Nan Yun Province. Before Elder Tianji went into seclusion, he had spread the word that once he reappeared in the world, the Nan Yun Province would definitely be reshuffled. Those small forces didn't matter, but for a martial arts family like Master Ouyang, who was strong enough to cover the sky with one hand in the provincial capital city, he was a bit absent-minded.
Moreover, during the assassination that year, he had also provided some help. He was afraid that Elder Tianji would find some clues and then retaliate against the Ouyang Family. If that happened, he would be more passive. He didn't allow any risks to occur. Even if he successfully got rid of Elder Tianji, once the news was leaked, the Ouyang Family wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. Although it had been more than twenty years, Elder Tianji's connections were still there.
At this time, I had already reached the line. To be honest, seeing those people fail again and again, I didn't have any fear. Instead, I wanted to show off my skills. Seeing me enter the stage, the fairy master couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Not far away, Ouyang Jun had a face full of ridicule. He said to Little Cherry, "Look at that useless lover of yours. Hmph, with his middle stage Clear Jing cultivation, if he could ring the bronze bell, I would directly cut off my head and kick it like a ball. Sigh, it's a pity that you won't be able to see the scene of him being pressed down on the ground by me."
Little Cherry didn't have any intention of paying attention to him. She just looked at me nervously. To be honest, she didn't have much hope because she understood the Ouyang Family quite well. In order to cultivate Ouyang Jun, that old man had also put in a lot of effort. Those guys who had failed before were the best proof. Although it wasn't a bad thing that I was directly eliminated, there was a problem. Previously, Commander-in-Chief Shangguan had promised to punish me after the competition. She couldn't do anything to stop him.
Two days ago, she had also asked her grandfather. Unless this bastard could shine in the competition, he wouldn't go back on his words. Thus, Little Cherry had been feeling uneasy. She was worried that the worst situation would happen after the competition ended. She didn't know how to accept it.
When I saw Ouyang Jun's expression, anger ignited every pore on my body. Not only was the Qi-Jin in my Dantian, but the inner strength in my meridians also rapidly mixed together.
With the characteristics of Qi-Jin, it could achieve the effect of hitting a cow from a distance. On the other hand, inner strength was a kind of ingenious strength that could only be derived from cultivating external strength to the extreme. When these two kinds of strength were combined, the effect that burst forth wasn't as simple as one plus one.
