After hearing Qi Haizheng's words, Huang Jian couldn't help but fall silent again. Having regained his spirits, he truly understood what Qi Haizheng said.
Indeed, a person with a very cowardly spirit cannot achieve much in spiritual practice.
Practicing cultivation itself requires courage and diligence. If you slack off mentally, the speed of practice will slow down.
After seeing that Huang Jian had some understanding, Qi Haizheng didn't say anything more. His purpose of coming here was to see this year's foreign disciples.
Now seeing that Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi are not only outstanding in strength but also excellent in character, he is naturally very satisfied.
What he just said to Huang Jian was also said to Ye Li and the other man. He hoped that they could maintain their current state and not be crushed by the pressure in the Imperial City.
Qi Haizheng took one last look at the three of them, nodded with a smile, then turned and walked out of the arena.
After Ye Li and the other two saw him off, Huang Jian said with emotion, "I never thought I would get to talk to Senior Brother Qi today. Today is really a blessing in disguise."
Ye Li glanced at him and said, "Brother Huang, this Senior Brother Qi is the seventh on the Emperor Jun Ranking you mentioned. Is he the current number one among our foreign disciples?"
Huang Jian nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Qi is the first among our foreign disciples.
He is a decent person and often helps other outside disciples to fight against bullying by orthodox disciples.
Although the conflicts between orthodox disciples and outside disciples were not as intense as they are now, there were often cases of orthodox disciples bullying outside disciples.
In the past, Senior Brother Qi would always lend a helping hand whenever he encountered someone, and this has never changed until now.
In the past, he had been implicated and suppressed by orthodox disciples because he often helped outside disciples.
However, Senior Brother Qi shouldered the enormous pressure, practiced diligently and bravely, and climbed all the way to seventh place on the Emperor Jun List.
All of us outside disciples regard him as our idol and hope to be as powerful as him.
However, it is easier said than done. I am a typical example. I thought I could pretend to be a grandson to avoid oppression, secretly practice to become strong, and then come out for revenge.
But I never expected that this kind of mind is the source of my weakness. I can't resist pressure, so how can I grow quickly? "
After hearing Huang Jian's words, Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi both looked towards Qi Haizheng's back in the distance, with more respect in their eyes.
After Yue Meng left, the three of them felt more at ease. They found an empty seat, sat down, and began to enjoy the competition of the excellent group on the stage.
The many disciples nearby also recognized the identities of Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi and knew that they were newcomers of this session.
The vast majority of disciples were actually still neutral and would not be hostile to or exclude outside disciples without reason, so they did not show any disgust towards Ye Li and the others. Some even took the initiative to give them a friendly smile.
This made Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi feel a little more comfortable. After all, if they were surrounded by enemies, this living environment would be somewhat sad.
The three of them were mainly watching the early stage of the Descending God stage. Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi were carefully weighing the strength of the contestants.
After all, the Descending God Stage is not as fast as the Spirit Pill Stage. Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi do not think that they will be able to reach the middle stage of the Descending God Stage next year. Therefore, it is very likely that their competitors next year will be these disciples in the early stage of the Descending God Stage.
After observing the battles of these outstanding disciples, they can also have a general understanding of the strength of the disciples in the Imperial City. After comparing themselves, they can also set a clear goal.
The battles of the day were all over around dusk. The disciples in the excellent group would also go through three rounds of competitions, which were exactly the same as theirs, except that after the results of the competitions came out, the top five people in each level would be selected.
After the game, Ye Li, Mu Tianzhi and Huang Jian left the arena together.
Huang Jian himself is a talkative person, and he is not as cautious and timid as he seemed before.
After regaining his spirits, Huang Jian looked much more cheerful. That night, he dragged Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi around the city and gave them a detailed introduction to the Imperial City.
Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi both had just arrived, and having a friend who was familiar with the environment around them made them feel a little more relaxed.
Return to the accommodation area and rest for the night.
The next morning, with the rang of the assembly bell, Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi left the room with excitement, ready to rush to the arena.
Turning his head to look at the place where Yin Dongliu and Leng Qian used to live, no one was living there anymore. It seemed that they had returned to their respective families after failing the trial.
Thinking about it now, Ye Li felt a sense of unreality. A few years ago, he was still an ignorant boy who didn't know if he could walk on the path of a spiritual talisman master. Now, he has entered the Emperor City, one of the four holy places in the cultivation world, with his strength. All these changes, in addition to his own efforts, are also related to his magical natal talisman.
After all, there are many hard-working people in this world. Ye Li would never dare to say that he is the most hardworking person. At best, he can only be considered as a very hard-working person. There are definitely many people who are more hardworking than him.
However, when practicing a art, compared with talent and hard work, hard work determines the lower limit of achievement, while talent is what truly determines the upper limit.
His talent brought unlimited possibilities to his practice, and also made his practice speed surpass that of most people. That is why he now has the opportunity to stand here.
After leaving their residence, the two walked for a while and met Huang Jian at the intersection.
Huang Jian is a disciple of the West Courtyard. His residence is different from the other two, so he can only wait for Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi on the road.
After the three of them walked together, the journey was quite relaxing.
After Huang Jian won a game yesterday, his chances of being eliminated were actually slim.
He is good at defense. Even if he cannot win the next two games, he still has great hope if he is determined to draw with his opponent.
According to convention, those who are eliminated are usually those who lose all three games, or those who have no wins and only draws. After Huang Jian won one game, he was already far away from the elimination position.
As for Ye Li and the other two, they had no pressure at all. They just came to see the strength of the disciples of the Imperial City. Winning would be the best, but losing didn't matter either.
After arriving at the lounge, Yue Meng and others had already arrived. When they saw Ye Li and the other two, they immediately snorted with a ferocious look on their faces.
After what happened yesterday, he was a little more restrained. Besides the fact that he was somewhat afraid of Qi Haizheng, he was still somewhat hesitant if he really had to do it in the lounge. After all, he didn't dare to take the charge of disrupting the sect's year-end competition.
