Hearing Yue Meng's words, Qi Haizheng was slightly stunned, then frowned and said: "Okay, go back and tell Yue Kuang that I am waiting for his challenge at any time!"
Yue Meng snorted coldly and said, "Don't think you can win easily. I tell you, when my brother comes out of seclusion this time, he will definitely defeat you in front of everyone. Then I will see how you, the spiritual leader of the outside disciples, will lead the others."
After Yue Meng finished speaking, he didn't plan to stay here any longer. Wentuo's disastrous defeat left him with no glory at all, but only shame.
After giving Ye Li, Qi Haizheng and the others a cold look, Yue Meng turned around and walked out of the arena.
After hesitating for a moment as he looked at Yue Meng's back, Wen Tuo finally followed him and left the arena together with Du Peng and the others.
After this battle, Ye Li's reputation was completely established. In the entire arena, except for a group of orthodox disciples who were extremely discriminatory against outside disciples, everyone else had some respect for him.
The Imperial City is a place that places great emphasis on strength, and the differences in status between disciples are mostly determined by strength.
The reason why orthodox disciples look down on outside disciples, apart from reasons of birth, is mostly due to differences in strength.
After all, although the families that the outside disciples came from seemed to be strong, there were still some differences compared to those in the Imperial City. Therefore, in terms of spirit gathering techniques or combat skills, they were slightly inferior to the orthodox disciples of the Imperial City.
As a result, the average combat strength of the outside disciples was weaker among all the disciples, and they were naturally in the middle and lower ranks among all the disciples in the Imperial City.
People of this strength level will be more or less looked down upon by others. What's more, outsider disciples are indeed outsiders, and they don't have a very good emotional foundation with the orthodox disciples and the disciples who have entered the Imperial City to practice since childhood. So it is normal for them to be gathered into a group and suppressed.
However, when the strength of one of the outside disciples is recognized by everyone, the ordinary disciples of the Imperial City will not look down on him. Only Yue Meng or some other relatively extreme orthodox disciples will continue to oppose the other side.
Watching Yue Meng leave, Hu Xiu had a somewhat worried look on his face, and said to Qi Haizheng: "Brother Qi, it seems that Yue Kuang is really in seclusion to practice. I wonder what kind of abilities he will master after he comes out. Will you be in trouble then?"
Qi Haizheng's face was a little serious. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, my ability can only reach this level now. If Yue Kuang surpasses me one day, I will have no way to catch up.
I have no worries about this. In spiritual practice, one can only work hard to improve oneself and surpass oneself. Whether or not one can surpass others is not the most important thing.
The reason why I want to climb to the top of the Emperor Jun List is just to tell all the outside disciples that we are not necessarily worse than the orthodox disciples, and we also have the ability to climb to the top of the Emperor Jun List.
My qualifications may not be better than others, but I am better in my mindset and diligence.
If more outsiders understand this, our overall strength will definitely improve, and we will no longer be looked down upon.”
Hearing Qi Haizheng's words, the outside disciples around him showed expressions of emotion and respect in their eyes. Even Ye Li began to admire this senior brother with whom he had never had a close relationship.
If a person wants to change everyone, he doesn't have to rely on words, but he must lead by example and take actions to prove that his ideas are feasible.
Qi Haizheng did just that. He used his own rise as a template to tell all outside disciples what they should do. This is the way to truly convince others from the bottom of their hearts.
After Qi Haizheng finished speaking, he looked at Ye Li again and said with a smile: "I am no longer worried that I will lose to Yue Kuang, because even if I lose, there will be other people with better talents to set an example for everyone in the future.
For example, our Ye Li will definitely surpass me in ranking on the Emperor Jun List in the future and reach a peak that we outside disciples have never reached.
Ye Li, you must not let your potential go to waste. You must work hard to cultivate and strive to become a guiding light in the hearts of the outside disciples. "
Qi Haizheng's words made Ye Li feel a little panicked. He didn't think he was worthy of such an important task, so he hurriedly said, "Brother Qi, you are a shining beacon among our foreign disciples. I dare not say that I can definitely rank on the God's List, let alone that I can rank at the top."
Qi Haizheng smiled and patted Ye Li on the shoulder, saying: "You, don't be modest, I can never be wrong in judging people. With your strength and potential, as long as you are willing to practice diligently, it is only a matter of time before you compete for the top three on the Emperor Jun Ranking.
As for me, no matter whether I win or lose the battle with Yue Kuang in three months, I will leave the training academy and join the deacon reserve team, so I will not have many opportunities to see you. A person who is not seen for a long time is definitely not a good role model. Only people like you can bring motivation to the people around you to practice. "
After Qi Haizheng finished speaking, he did not give Ye Li another chance to be modest. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's stop here today. I still have some things to deal with, so I'll leave first."
Seeing that Qi Hai was about to leave, the others had no choice but to keep him and bowed to him respectfully.
After Qi Haizheng left, Hu Xiu led everyone to celebrate together. After all, Ye Li’s victory was an inspiring and happy event for all the foreign disciples.
The next day, Ye Li and the others returned to their studies again. For the past fifteen days, Mu Rongxuan had been teaching them still things about the Origin Runes.
Ye Li studied this very seriously, because he was not only a spiritual talisman master but also a weapon caster, and it was almost necessary for a weapon caster to master the origin runes.
After Mu Rongxuan finished his theory, he took everyone to another place for practice in the west courtyard.
Rather than being a place for practicing, this is more of a place to watch the changes in various attribute powers.
There are a total of nine stone chambers, filled with nine kinds of power, which are constantly changing their forms under the guidance of rune formations.
For example, in the fire room that Ye Li was watching, a ball of blazing white flame floated in the middle of the room. Under the guidance of the surrounding rune formations, it constantly changed from fireballs to fire pillars, fire walls, fire mist... and even fire birds and fire beasts.
This change in form is closely related to the changes in the rune formation.
By observing the changes in the runes in the rune formation and the corresponding changes in flame forms, everyone can indirectly understand the various mysteries of the rune power in their own original runes.
