“It’s really here!”
Ma Yu exclaimed in a low voice. He pushed the reeds aside and walked to the edge of the river. He saw a young man who looked similar to him standing on the other side of the river.
Ma Yu was slightly startled. After sweeping through the area with his Spiritual Sense, he discovered that there was not a single trace of Spiritual Qi coming from the other party’s body. Surprisingly, he was just a mortal. His expression immediately relaxed.
“Brother Ma, I still feel that this matter isn’t quite right.”
The voice came from behind Ma Yu, a young man with an average stature and normal features pushed away the reeds, and upon seeing Yang Junshan, he was slightly startled, but immediately noticed that there was no aura of a cultivator around his body, and relaxed, and then turned to Yang Junshan and said: “Brother, please leave this place for the time being, we cultivators here have something to discuss, so as to not harm you.”
Yang Junshan smiled, nodded his head, then turned and left.
Tang Wei also felt that this young man was a bit strange. It seemed that he was acting a little too plainly. He did not have the kind of fear and pettiness a mortal would have when meeting a cultivator.
When Ma Yu saw Yang Junshan leaving, he also thought that maybe it was because he was born and had seen a lot of people in the vicinity of Madame Yang, he immediately said: “Brother Tang look, quickly look, it’s here, I don’t know if this Ding Rulan is too foolish or too self-confident, to actually be submerged in water like this, don’t tell me she’s not afraid of being disturbed by others and going berserk!”
“No matter what, that Ding Rulan is still a top genius of the Wilderness Town. Even if I can defeat her, what I will lose is the power of our Wilderness Town, and the resources allocated to the twelve towns of Mengyu and Hu Yao are now divided into several levels. The competition between the cities and towns are very intense, and these three years, the Elite Tournament will be an important test. Ding Rulan is younger than me by three years, so even if she participates in the next Elite Tournament, her strength will definitely surpass mine. If she’s injured, our Wilderness Town’s results will definitely be far behind.”
Ma Yu was displeased upon hearing that, and said: “Brother Tang, you are juserson who overlooks things too much. You are already the number one elite seed in the Wilderness Town, if you were not recruited to help the Zhang Family refine that mid-tier magical tool, how could you miss the Wilderness Town selection? This is already your last chance to become an elite disciple. If you don’t steal it from Ding Rulan, don’t tell me you still want to steal it from Han Qianfeng? ”
Tang Wei sighed and said helplessly, “To be honest, I would rather go steal it from Han Qianfeng.”
“Are you crazy?”
Ma Yu said resentfully, “Then who is Han Qianfeng? That was Han Xiusheng’s grandson, what status did Han Xiusheng have? He is the brother-in-law of the Clan Chief of the Madame Yang, Spiritual Master Yang Tiangang, and the blood uncle of the Jun Shan.
Seeing Tang Wei keep his head low and not say a word, Ma Yu knew his good friend’s temperament and could not help but advise: “That Han Qianfeng was originally receiving training in the Madame Yang’s Great Hall. He could have absolutely become one of the elite disciples that entered the competition. Isn’t it because the twenty-eight outer sect disciples that participated in the elite competition were taken care of in the first round? Furthermore, the Yang family was carefully divided into different ranks based on their strength, so the treatment for the disciples in the first round is much better than the treatment for the disciples that were eliminated in the first round! ”
Tang Wei scratched his head and said: “That may not be true, who doesn’t know that Han Xiusheng is the second in command of the Yang family’s caravan? Moreover, he is the brother-in-law of Patriarch Yang.
“Aiyo, my Drip Bro!”
Ma Yu patted his head, looking like he was hopeless, and said, “You must have gone stupid from refining. How come you don’t know anything?” After the first round, a candidate would have the qualification to listen to the Madame Yang Spirit Master’s lecture, and there will even be a lot of rumors that other Spirit Masters from other sects will come. At that time, there might also be other Spirit Masters with good relationships with the Madame Yang that will be invited to lecture, so no matter how broad Han Qianfeng’s background is, can he be controlled by the Yang Family Master? ”
“Although that Han Qianfeng is not bad, he is still ranked behind you and Ding Rulan even in the Wilderness Town. But why is it that during the selection of the elite seeds, the strongest Brother Tang was sent to the County City’s Artifact Forging Workshop by Yang Tiezhu as his bodyguard? Don’t you understand? ”
Tang Wei gave an embarrassed smile and said: “That’s why I wanted to challenge Han Qianfeng! Of course, I don’t have the guts to do that. I’m just thinking about it. ”
Ma Yu felt that his words had been a waste of half a day. This fellow actually knew everything, and wasted so much spitting in vain.
But right after, his gaze moved, and he said: “Alright, since you know, then I won’t say anymore, no matter what, the person who has the highest chance of entering the top eight is you, so, Ding Rulan is already out.”
Tang Wei quickly turned around and saw a girl wearing coarse clothes. Her figure could be described as burly as she coldly stared at the two of them from the surface of the water.
Just as he wanted to say something, he was interrupted by the lady in front of him, “I heard what you guys said just now. Cut the crap. Since you want the spot for the Elite Seeds, then I’ll take it from you.”
Tang Wei’s expression was still hesitant, but he was caught off guard as Ma Yu pushed him. He couldn’t help but stagger forward a few steps.
The female cultivator, Ding Rulan, who was on the surface of the water sneered. Both of her hands formed a watermark and a water pillar shot out from the Qinshui’s water surface.
When he saw her attack, he knew that she had not held back at all. He immediately extended his hand and slapped his mouth, releasing a flame that transformed into two fire serpents that pounced on the two water serpents. With a ‘chi chi’ sound, the fire serpents and the water serpents both disappeared, leaving only a cloud of mist curling up in the air.
Ding Rulan, who was on the surface of the water, knew that the person in front of him could be considered as her formidable opponent, and there was no reason for him to stop attacking first. Clouds of water vapor rose from the Qinshui, and then, condensed into small droplets of water swords, densely shooting towards Tang Wei.
This was the Small Cloud Rain Technique that she had just cultivated. It was able to use water sources to form a rain cloud in a small area. With the help of the Qinshui’s power, her strength had increased by a lot.
Tang Wei was actually suppressed by Ding Rulan for a moment, and was secretly shocked. This Ding Rulan’s cultivation had obviously improved by a lot, and even with the opponent striking first, he was actually unable to retaliate for a short period of time.
When he saw Ding Rulan standing on the water, he immediately shouted: “Ding Rulan, you have the geographical advantage while standing on the water, you have the chance to come to the shore and fight Tang Wei one-on-one.”
Ding Rulan laughed coldly: “You guys are plotting to steal my position, and you want me to fight you fair? “Since it’s fair, Yang Zhen has already confirmed my spot for the challenge, why are you guys still here to snatch it?”
Tang Wei resisted the water vapor from the Qinshui and did not say a word.
Ma Yu shouted, “Ding Rulan, to be fair, which one of you is stronger? If Tang Wei could participate in this year’s Elite Tournament, wouldn’t his chances of getting good grades be higher than yours? At that time, the entire Wilderness Town could benefit from this! To tell you the truth, the entire Wilderness Town would probably be more willing to have Tang Wei participate in this time’s Elite Tournament. ”
Ding Rulan heard and snorted. Her face suddenly paled, but she was able to unleash her Divine Seal very quickly, causing water vapor to gush towards the shore at an even faster speed.
Seeing that, Ma Yu shouted: “Furthermore, the Yang family has become famous for its earth attribute cultivation techniques and techniques in the cultivation world, even for its cultivation of fire attribute and wood type cultivation techniques, there are still two Spiritual Masters, Yang Junhao and Yang Junqi. It’s not like we have never come into contact with the Yang’s Diciples before, when have you heard that the Yang family haigh water attribute cultivation technique? Even if you can become an elite disciple, do you really have any hope of breaking into the realms of life? ”
Ma Yu’s words seemed to hit right at Ding Rulan’s vital parts, the hand sign that he was holding onto suddenly stopped, and Tang Wei’s loud shout came from the shore. A fire cloud exploded, and the misty water vapor instantly disappeared.
However, Tang Wei didn’t take the opportunity to counterattack. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the reeds.
Ma Yu originally thought that Tang Wei had found an opening and would immediately counterattack and defeat him. Unexpectedly, he left without looking back. His expression turned anxious as he stepped forward and grabbed Tang Wei’s arm. “Brother Tang, where are you going?”
Tang Wei shook off his arm and sighed: “Brother Ma, forget it. No matter what, Ding Rulan already golacing, it wouldn’t be right to go and snatch it away from me.”
When he saw Tang Wei push away from the river bank, he immediately chased after him. However, he suddenly saw Tang Wei standing outside the reeds, and when he went over, he saw the mortal he met just now by the river bank. He asked curiously: “Eh, don’t you know that there is another way to recruit elite disciples from the famous sects in Madame Yang? “Since you have the ability to refine equipment, why don’t you give iry?”
“What way?”
“Who are you? Are you eavesdropping on our conversation?”
The two people’s different replies allowed Yang Junshan to have a clearer understanding of the characters of the two little cultivators before him. Of course, the truth was that during the conversation and battle on the riverbank, although Yang Junshan did not personally see it, he was already very clear about it.
