Are you calling me out? Xu Lian came out from the corner and came to the center of the field. "What do you want from me?"
Fu Ye glanced at him calmly and continued to drink his wine. "Nothing much, I just want to tell you that there are so many genius masters coming to the imperial capital, and they are all keeping a low profile. You are a ninth level person, so stay out of the limelight, or you will die young."
Geniuses from all sides could see that Fu Ye seemed to dislike Xu Lian a little, and the warning in his words was obvious.
Xu Lian smiled, "You want me to stay out of the spotlight, do you want you to be the one to be in the spotlight? Can you do that?"
The geniuses from all sides were surprised. They didn't expect that he, with his ninth level of cultivation, would not be afraid at all when facing a master genius like Fu Ye. It was a bit unexpected.
"Would you like to try me?"
Fu Ye's eyes narrowed, and he put down the wolf-tooth beast bone club on his shoulder. With a "bang", the ground shook, and it was extremely heavy.
Seeing the two sides confronting each other and about to fight, Ying Ming came over with a smile to smooth things over, "Can you two please, for the sake of the Duke Ying's and Duke Jing's mansions, allow this gathering to proceed smoothly?"
Jing Que also came over. Although he didn't say anything, he made the attitude of Duke Jing's Mansion clear.
"During the elimination round, you'd better burn incense in advance and pray that you don't run into me."
Fu Ye sneered and put the wolf-tooth beast bone club back on his shoulder.
With the power of the barbaric tribes, they might not be afraid of the two dukedoms. However, this is in the imperial capital after all, and it is the territory of the royal family and princes of the You Dynasty. It would be bad to disrespect them.
Who doesn't know how to make harsh remarks
Xu Lian would of course, and said calmly, "I'm looking forward to meeting you. After all, you should pick the weak ones when you can get what you want. I understand this principle."
Some people couldn't help but laugh out loud. Fu Ye, who is at the Grandmaster level, was actually called a soft persimmon
The geniuses from all walks of life were also a little surprised. They didn't know whether Xu Lian was really that confident or just trying to show off his eloquence.
Fu Ye was very angry. If it weren't for the face of the two dukes, he would have been unable to resist and took action.
"I smell a familiar scent. He once offered blood to our Ghost Gate."
Suddenly a strange cry was heard.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the young master of the Ghost Sect, a young white head, staring at Xu Lian from between his hair.
Have you ever donated blood to the Ghost Gate
Everyone was confused and didn't understand why it said that.
Even Xu Lian himself was puzzled. He had never donated blood to the Ghost Gate. It was Wang Cuiyun and Li Xiya who took turns to draw blood. Why was it said that he had donated blood
After careful consideration, he vaguely understood that before the original owner moved into Wang Cuiyun and Li Xiya's home, he lived alone and had indeed donated blood.
But, logically speaking, even if blood was donated, it should be donated to an ordinary descendant of the Ghost Gate, not to the young master of the Ghost Gate. Why did this "Nian" know this
From this, we can infer that the ghost gates have some secret method that allows them to connect with each other
The Ghost Sect’s young master, who was 25, was also a little surprised. “The offspring of my Ghost Sect need to be fed with blood during the childhood stage, which is the childhood stage. They are raised in Green Bamboo Town in Pingyang County. This person is from Green Bamboo Town in Pingyang County
Moreover, only commoners need to donate blood. Did he really rise from the commoners?"
After these words were spoken, all the geniuses looked at them strangely.
Although the common people in the imperial capital have always been claiming that Xu Lian is a genius who rose from the bottom, they don't really believe it.
You know, it is difficult for ordinary people to become practitioners without the secret manuals of cultivation techniques or the resources for cultivation, let alone rising to the ninth level of cultivation at a young age, which is almost impossible.
However, the facts were before their eyes and they had no choice but to believe it. This was the first time they had encountered a genius rising from the common people.
"Haha, I thought there was something going on."
Fu Ye immediately grasped this point and sneered, "So he is just a commoner from a rural town who supplies blood to the descendants of the Blood Soul Sect!"
The Ghost Sect's young master, Nian, smiled and said, "It's quite interesting. A commoner who has donated blood to my Ghost Sect is competing on the same stage with me, the young master. Isn't this a backlash against the master?"
These words were obviously meant to step on Xu Lian. This "Nian" seemed to be interested in making friends with Fu Ye, so he didn't mind taking advantage of the opportunity to step on him.
Ying Ming and Jing Que were also surprised. They didn't expect Xu Lian to have such a background. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
"What happened to the civilians?"
Xu Lian looked at Fu Ye, then at Nian, the young master of the Ghost Sect, and said calmly, "A barbaric tribe that doesn't know how to behave, a Ghost Sect that doesn't even have a place to raise its offspring and needs to rent from the Yi Sect, do you really think you are a top force
I think the Savage Tribe and the Ghost Sect are at most third- or fourth-rate forces, or even fifth- or sixth-rate forces. There is not much difference between me, a commoner, and you don't know where your sense of superiority comes from?"
Due to the face of the two mansions hosting this party, it is inconvenient to take action, so the only choice is to engage in verbal attacks. After all, Xu Lian has experienced the "keyboard era", and his ability in verbal attacks is definitely not inferior to that of people in this world.
Sure enough, his words hit the soft spot of Fu Ye and "Nian". Both of them turned pale, as if they had eaten a live fly, and looked at him with cold eyes.
The various geniuses also found it funny that the Savage Tribe and the Ghost Gate were no different from the common people...
Ying Ming and Jing Que were helpless. Shouldn't such a good gathering of top young talents be more elegant? How did it turn out like this
After this incident, the atmosphere became very tense and the party ended abruptly not long after it started.
On the way back from the manor, Xu Lian used up his two advancement points, added raw materials, and was promoted to the second level of Grandmaster!
This is to prevent Fu Ye and Nian, the young master of the Ghost Sect, from attacking him secretly...
Just now, the reason why he did not choose to take action directly was not only because of the face of the two mansions, but also because there was a little gap in strength.
With his Huajiu level of cultivation, his chances of winning against a Grandmaster are not very high.
Although he has mastered the magical secrets of the Holy Spirit Atlas, he can already defeat opponents across levels.
However, Fu Ye and Nian, the young master of the Ghost Clan, are also top geniuses. They must have mastered very powerful combat secrets and can also cross levels.
If a real fight breaks out, the outcome is unpredictable, so he chose to just have a verbal fight...
Of course, even if he had just reached the ninth level of cultivation, with the body movement secrets from the Holy Spirit Atlas, he would have no problem protecting himself. Even if he was talking big he had to have the strength to back it up, otherwise it would be better to keep silent and endure it.
Return to the inn.
Xu Lian continued to take Jiang Yunyan, Miao Yueyue and Huo Xiner out to play and cultivate their favorability.
Of course, the main purpose of the game is to develop goodwill with Jiang Yunyan and Miao Yueyue.
Huo Xin'er's favorability is a bit special. What matters is his strength, not the ability cultivated through playing.
Xu Lian had been on guard against Fu Ye and Nian, the young master of the Netherworld Sect, making hidden moves, but twenty days had passed and as the knockout round was approaching, nothing unexpected had happened. It seemed that Fu Ye and Nian were still quite wary of the Netherworld royal family and did not dare to cause trouble in the imperial capital easily.
During these twenty days, he really made Jiang Yunyan and Miao Yueyue happy with his company. Jiang Yunyan's favorability increased from 91 to 92, and Miao Yueyue's favorability also broke through the 90 mark from 85, allowing him to obtain two advancement points.
There is nothing to think about, just add it to the rank, add raw materials, complete the advancement, and the elimination round will begin. It is very likely that you will encounter a master genius, so you must not be careless.
Name: Xu Lian
Rank: Grandmaster Fourth Level
Skills: Holy Spirit Atlas (complete edition of Immortal Techniques), Wind-Breaking Sword Technique (volumes 123), Seven Styles of Xian Gang (complete edition), Short Fight - Chasing Shadow...
Props: Sword of Destruction (not worn)
Feeling the tremendous power contained in his body, Xu Lian's eyes lit up.
"Zong Si, with the Holy Spirit Atlas, I have the strength to compete with the world's top geniuses!"
You know, the Holy Spirit Atlas is included directly, so there is no problem of proficiency. He is proficient and perfect every time he uses it. Even if the first ancestors of the thirteen clans were resurrected, they could not use it better than him.
Therefore, in terms of combat secrets, he is not inferior to any top genius, and has already reached the state of being invincible in the same level and able to defeat opponents of higher levels.
Unless the combat secrets used by other top geniuses are better than the Holy Spirit Atlas, which is unlikely because the Holy Spirit Atlas is already an immortal technique.
What he lacked was the cultivation level, but now his cultivation level has caught up, making up for the shortcoming.
