He became the most promising true disciple of Zuo Patriarch's family, and he was pulled to appear in order to appease Xiao Zhengchu's original master. Challenging him would offend Patriarch Zuo.
Therefore, speaking from the background, the only person Li Huaide can really challenge is Wang Junmao. Wang Junmao is the grandson of the master of Qingxiao Peak. But with the support of the Sun family, Li Huaide doesn't have to worry too much.
But in fact, Wang Junmao is the most powerful of the three. He was not very lucky this year, and he did not complete a few tasks satisfactorily.
Li Huaide said loudly: "I challenge Senior Brother Wang Junmao!"
As soon as these words came out, both Jian and Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, they were really afraid that Huai Mengde would challenge them without knowing the heights of the world, although they felt that they could easily defeat their opponents, they didn't want to accept the worst humiliation.
They smiled gloatingly and looked at Wang Junmao sarcastically.
Wang Junmao blushed with anger, stood up abruptly, and said sharply, "You dare to challenge me?"
Li Huaide said calmly: "Yes, Senior Brother Wang, please advise!"
Wang Junmao said bitterly: "Very good! I will definitely teach you in three days."
If the challenge match really needs to be arranged, it will have to wait three days later.
Seeing that Huai Mengde challenged Wang Junmao as he thought, Deacon Sun nodded appreciatively.
Then he was a little worried again, and felt that he needed to say hello to the deacon in the arena tomorrow, so as to save his son's life at a critical moment.
He didn't think that Huai Mengde could defeat Wang Junmao, because the strength of the two was very different.
Wang Junmao is the second level of the golden core, and the battle demon pet Dali Iron Ape has the fourth level of the golden core. And Li Huaide's bottom is now exposed. The battle demon pet is the silver fox of the third level of golden core, and he has only built the ninth level of foundation.
Li Huaide was able to leapfrog challenges, and had defeated three disciples of the first level of Jindan in the ranking battle, but the true disciples all had combat powers that surpassed their own cultivation.
Everyone heard the maliciousness hidden in Wang Junmao's tone, and they knew that Wang Junmao would be merciless tomorrow, and that Huai Mengde would be deposed even if he did not die.
Some people couldn't help worrying about Huai Mengde.
Although it is said that killing people is prohibited in the challenge competition, but Wang Junmao really killed Huai Mengde in the ring. I am afraid that after a few months of retreat, he will be fine again.
After the awards ceremony ended, many people discussed enthusiastically, and most of them were not optimistic about Huai Mengde.
In the evening, Deacon Sun came quietly again. He put a talisman in front of his son and said, "This is the golden bell talisman. It can save your life at a critical moment. Use it and admit defeat."
Li Huaide accepted the talisman with a smile, and said, "Thank you! I will make you proud."
Deacon Sun sighed, "It doesn't matter if you lose this year. I'll have a chance next year."
Li Huaide gave a big gift and said: "I understand, but to fight for the front, don't shrink back, I will fight with all my strength."
Deacon Sun sighed, and said, "You can figure it out, retreat to Deacon's side in times of danger."
Li Huaide gave another big gift gratefully.
He understood what Deacon Sun meant. He was saying hello to the deacon presiding over the competition, and he would save his life when he was in danger.
With these two layers of insurance, he is more confident to go all out.
He felt that although Deacon Sun was a bit of a mother-in-law and always worried too much, he was still sincere to Huai Mengde.
Deacon Sun would do this because firstly, he saw that his son was indeed promising, secondly, he was too courageous without Mrs. Yu's restraint, without Sun Zhongde's worries, and thirdly, Li Huaide's closeness and respect made him feel like a father. Fun and willing to help more. If Li Huaide was against Huai Mengde like Huai Mengde, then he would not be able to give so much help.
Li Huaide stood up and said with a smile: "Please trust me, I will not act recklessly, after three days, I will definitely win!"
Deacon Sun couldn't believe it in his heart, and sighed: "Why do you do this, I will give you what you need."
Li Huaide smiled and said: "You protected me when I was young, and it's up to me to protect you in the future."
Deacon Sun never expected to hear these words, looked at his son's radiant face in a daze, laughed, turned and left.
He thought: This son of mine is really not in vain. I spent so much time protecting him.
The next day, according to his schedule, Wang Junmao met a group of people who secretly supported him.
Among them were dozens of deacons and disciples from the inner court, as well as dozens of people from other Taoist schools. When the new year came, these people sent gifts one after another.
Wang Junmao received the gift softly, and he was in a good mood to chat and laugh with these people.
Unavoidably mentioned the challenge competition during the period, Deacon Wu said with righteous indignation: "Senior Brother Wang, that Huai Mengde is too abominable. I'll help you teach him a lesson first, so that he can't get out of bed. Let them know that they dare to challenge you fate."
Wang Junmao said disdainfully, "It's not necessary."
Another Taoist deacon said: "It is true that Senior Brother Wang can defeat him easily. You do this out of good intentions, but others may mistakenly think that Senior Brother Wang is guilty of a guilty conscience and only secretly act when he can't beat him. On the contrary. It made senior brother Wang lose his face, and it would be disgraceful to win."
If there is not much difference in strength between the two sides, it doesn't matter what Deacon Wu said, Wang Junmao will also send people to suppress, making Huai Mengde afraid to play, unable to play, or even having to admit defeat if he does. But Wang Junmao felt that he was winning, and he was too lazy to make a move now.
Earlier, Deacon Wu hurriedly laughed and said, "Senior Brother Wang, I don't think so. I just think that kid is too arrogant, and I really don't like it. I want to teach him a lesson."
Wang Junmao understood that Deacon Wu didn't mean to harm him, and said with a smile: "After the challenge, you can do it again. I don't want to see him in the inner court again."
Everyone laughed and echoed after hearing this, and they were so excited that they wanted to drive Huai Mengde out of the inner courtyard.
After talking for a while, Wang Junmao said: "Don't mention him anymore, it's boring. Is there anything interesting outside recently?"
Everyone started talking about other things. Some said that there was a big monster in a certain place, some said that there was a scandal in an official's house in a certain place, and some said that a certain person got a treasure.
One of them, Hai Deacon from Hailing, said with a smile: "What you said is meaningless, a strange thing happened to us in Hailing recently, something you would never have imagined. Guess what it is?"
Everyone laughed and guessed, some guessed that the big sea monster came, some guessed that there was a rare treasure on the sea, and some even guessed that a dragon was discovered.
Hailing's Deacon Hai shook his head with a smile, and everyone laughed and scolded him to stop being a fool, and hurry up.
Fang Fang said with a mysterious smile: "Yu Qingyao, have you heard of it?"
Someone said: "I seem to have heard of it. It seems that the Wu and Chu families had a quarrel because of this. The quarrel resulted in the death of Wu Huang, and the four ancestor-level masters all fought a battle."
Hearing what this person said, everyone remembered.
Deacon Wu wondered, "Didn't you say she died? Why did you mention her?"
Hailing's Deacon Hai said contemptuously: "She's going to die, what do I say she's doing? Isn't it unlucky for the New Year's Eve?"
Wang Junmao laughed and said: "So, she didn't die, but she went to your Hailing?"
