Shi Tianen was a little embarrassed. His head was full of question marks, but he didn't dare to ask.
There was an awkward silence.
Cough cough!
"Gong Chuanzhi and Gu Feiying challenge Old Ten and Old Nine, Zhang Xing …"
Mo Xi had no choice but to smooth things over. But before he could finish, Black Treasure spoke again.
"Zhang Xing challenges Yin Donglou. Let's begin!"
Uh!
Mo Xi choked and felt a little uncomfortable.
What kind of person is this? If you want to say something, say it all in one breath.
Don't wait for me to say it before you say it.
You're a guard, don't you know the rules?
Why didn't you say anything when Zhang Xing was speaking?
But he could understand. Black Treasure had just been promoted and wasn't used to this identity yet.
He wanted to show his presence, but he didn't know how to control it.
The Sect Master had instructed him not to fall out with Zhang Xing.
When he heard that, his heart was in turmoil.
The Sect Master said not to fall out with Zhang Xing, not with Black Treasure.
What did this mean?
It meant that although Black Treasure was the Deputy Sect Master, Zhang Xing was still his boss.
This group was too mysterious.
All of them were very powerful and were very united.
They only had one center, and that was Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing wasn't the strongest among them, but they followed Zhang Xing's orders.
This was a strange group.
There were elders who tried to divide them.
They talked to many guards behind their backs.
They tried to persuade them with emotion and reason, and even threw out a lot of treasures to rope them in.
But these people took the money and didn't want to join.
If you wanted to threaten them and make them spit out the money.
That was even more impossible.
They were a bunch of scoundrels.
They didn't listen to good or bad words, and were a bunch of hooligans.
Fortunately, they made great contributions to the sect and didn't cause any trouble after returning.
They didn't show any signs of being ambitious.
Relatively speaking, Mo Xi was more at ease.
Although he was not afraid of them causing trouble, if they really did, it would also be very troublesome.
"First round, Gong Chuanzhi versus Nie Hualiang!"
Shi Tianen finally understood what Vice Sect Master Hei Bao meant by 'start'.
Nie Hualiang was the tenth disciple. Vice Sect Master Mo Xi dared to call him that, but he couldn't.
Nie Hualiang would definitely be very angry if he called him Old Ten.
Moreover, they weren't that close to each other.
"Senior Martial Brother Nie, please!"
Gong Chuanzhi cupped his hands politely.
"Alright, stop pretending. This is a battle of life and death. Bring it on."
That was how Nie Hualiang had risen to his position back then.
He knew very well that the title of Successor Disciple, which seemed to make people envious, was actually jumping into a mountain of blades and a sea of flames.
You might be able to take the throne and live through the first ten years, but you can't guarantee that you'll survive the second ten years.
As for the other disciples, they could live in the sect for the rest of their lives.
He also didn't want to be challenged by his junior brothers.
Unfortunately, the competition among the top ten true disciples was too intense.
All of them had extraordinary aptitudes and powerful backgrounds.
Although he had cultivated hard for many years, he was still squeezed to the last place.
"Excuse me, Senior Martial Brother Nie!"
Gong Chuanzhi didn't dare to let his guard down. He circulated all the spirit qi in his body and used his specialty to fight with Nie Hualiang.
The two of them were evenly matched, and the battle was very exciting.
Two hours later, Gong Chuanzhi defeated Nie Hualiang with a slight advantage.
Nie Hualiang was seriously injured and was on the verge of death.
Gong Chuanzhi wasn't much better, but he didn't kill Nie Hualiang.
Because the power behind him wasn't strong enough.
