Chapter 846 -63: Hot Commodity

It’s not something new for Beijing people to come to the Divine Land, but no matter how famous or powerful you were before, when you come to the Divine Land, you must act with some reverence, be low-key, and work discreetly. What’s happening with Ren Yanli is unprecedented.

“It’s too bad for Huyan Zhuolei, he was so close to winning. This Ren Yanli is really cunning, probably waited for this very moment to seize the opportunity to win by luck.”

“You can’t say that; a win is a win.”

“Huyan Zhuolei is probably furious.”

“The Divine Flash from the Knightly Path is a kind of extreme speed, extremely fast, but not completely without trace. It’s just that Huyan Zhuolei was a bit too careless,” Kui Ma sighed regretfully.

Tang Feng also wiped his cold sweat. He could only say that Ren Yanli is quite clever. If Huyan Zhuolei had not used a finishing move and instead continued to chase and attack with the ordinary Great Vajra Finger, Ren Yanli would have undoubtedly lost. Even using a small trick like Divine Flash would not have helped him avoid Huyan Zhuolei’s counter.”

“A win is a win, making excuses is not the tradition of our Divine Land’s cultivators.”

Kui Ma pursed his lips, “Old Tang, it seems you forgot, next up is Chu Zhan. You don’t really think Chu Zhan is worse than Huyan Zhuolei, do you?”

Tang Feng’s face turned serious, damn it, he forgot, this kid is on a three-win streak. How to deal with that? Not only did he fight against Huyan Zhuolei nearly to death, but he also exposed his killer move. If there’s anything special about the Knightly Path from outside, it’s this Divine Flash. The rest can’t compare to the Divine Land, and something like Divine Flash seems like a low-level ability. It can be used at most twice, and it’s already been used once. Against a master like Chu Zhan, once he sees through the move, how could he be fooled?

The disciples of the Vajra Institute have already carried their senior brother away. They originally wanted to trouble Li Xin, but they sensed that Huyan Zhuolei was only knocked out and hadn’t lost his cultivation, and for a while, they didn’t know whether to curse or to remain silent.

Listening to the analysis of the two elders, Xiao Yan’s heart, which he just put down, was raised again. Chu Zhan is even more formidable than Huyan Zhuolei, after all, he is an outstanding representative of the Three Pristine Sect.

The Martial Arts Arena needs to be cleaned, and Li Xin is given some time to recuperate.

“You’ve watched everything, and you’re still not leaving. We’ve known each other for so many years, don’t force me to fall out!” Liu Zhongyang stared at Ku Zhi and said.

Ku Zhi smiled faintly without arguing with Liu Zhongyang, still seated, “It seems I didn’t mistake you.”

“Mistaken!” Liu Zhongyang said subconsciously.

“I haven’t even mentioned who, what’s the hurry, Brother Liu? After so many years, you still carry such elegance,” Ku Zhi smiled slightly and said.

Xiao Yan coughed a few times, “Is it really Senior Brother Ku Zhi?”

“I wouldn’t dare, I am Ku Zhi,” Ku Zhi said with his hands in a prayer gesture.

“I’m Xiao Yan, you seem different from the rumors outside,” Xiao Yan looked at Ku Zhi like a curious child.

“Is this Brother Xiao a friend of Brother Ren?” Ku Zhi asked.

“Sort of, we get along well, but haven’t met many times,” Xiao Yan didn’t quite know how to phrase it.

“I wonder if Brother Xiao has any interest in our Celestial Dragon Temple?” Ku Zhi asked sincerely.

Liu Zhongyang suddenly glared, “You… ahem, Brother Xiao, don’t listen to him, the Celestial Dragon Temple requires shaving your head, and we don’t engage in this Outer Sect heretical path. Pudu Cloud Hall also wants to accept new disciples, I think Junior Brother Xiao has the elegant and dignified aura suitable for our Pudu Cloud Hall.”

“Brother Liu, Brother Ku Zhi, thank you both for your kind intentions, but I already have a sect,” Xiao Yan said with a wry smile. As the two sects most rigorous in accepting disciples, are these two crazy?

After the match, someone noticed that Liu Zhongyang’s table gained another bald head. Although Ku Zhi had always been low-key and appeared less frequently, he was still recognized, causing a commotion at the venue.

Celestial Dragon Temple’s Ku Zhi, Pudu Yunhang’s Liu Zhongyang, and Three Pristine Sect’s Jiang Jinyue, three of the top ten appeared, a rare occurrence. It’s said kings never meet, and their appearance usually signifies a battle, but today’s schedule didn’t include their match-up, especially with the sects’ major exams this year, how could they fight casually?

For others, the red list of Jiuxiao Building is of critical importance, almost unattainable, but not for these three. If they show up, it’s an honor for the red list.

Jiang Jinyue withdrew her gaze as Chu Zhan ascended the stage. She felt a bit regretful, for being too impulsive today. Given Ren Yanli’s current condition, even if Chu Zhan wins, it wouldn’t be glorious. Actually, she should have waited, watched first, then fought. But according to Jiuxiao Building’s rules, once it begins, there’s no abstaining, otherwise, it’s a forfeit.

“Senior Sister, how about I take Senior Brother Chu’s place?” Duan Chaoyang was eager to try.

Bang~~

A scream erupted as Duan Chaoyang clutched his head and crouched under the table, scratching his head frantically. Jiang Jinyue didn’t even bother to look at him. If it weren’t for this guy causing a scene, how would the Three Pristine Sect find themselves in this dilemma, doesn’t the sect care about its reputation?

Chu Zhan ascended the stage and looked at Li Xin, “Brother Ren, do you want to rest a bit more, or reschedule the fight?”

“Brother Chu, you’re too kind, actually, it doesn’t really affect me. Let’s just follow the rules.”

Onstage, Tang Feng’s heart skipped a beat, this fool, they offered a way out, and it was Chu Zhan who proposed it. Taking it would have provided an excuse.

Kui Ma glanced sideways at Tang Feng, “What a pity.”

Tang Feng feigned composure, “This gives Chu Zhan a chance. If he loses under these circumstances, it would ruin his reputation, he didn’t earn fame easily…”

Kui Ma looked at Tang Feng with a knowing smile, “Go on, keep making things up. If you admit defeat and withdraw from the competition now, we can call off our bet.”

Tang Feng looked at Ren Yanli on stage, damn it, this guy is a treasure disciple, capable of defeating so many masters consecutively. If he joins the Ten Thousand Rooster Hall, he would be an immediate asset. Arm him with some Divine Land cultivation techniques, and the year-end competition would be a breeze. A mere Treasure Artifact is nothing.

“Kui Ma, are you kidding? When has our Ten Thousand Rooster Hall ever been unable to afford a loss? Besides, the outcome is still uncertain given the current situation, I feel that Ren Yanli still has a chance,” Tang Feng said, pressing his lips together.

“Ha ha, Old Tang, oh Old Tang, in terms of handiwork, we’re evenly matched, but in terms of brains, not even two of you would suffice. If he can still beat Chu Zhan, I’ll call you ‘master’ from now on. But what if you lose?” Kui Ma provocatively looked at Tang Feng.

Tang Feng gritted his teeth, knowing this old guy was taking advantage of the situation, “At my age, engaging in temporary raise-the-stake tactics, I’m not going to bother with you.”

Kui Ma laughed heartily. After competing for so many years, watching his old opponent suffer was incredibly satisfying. Regardless of win or lose, Ren Yanli is a skilled hand, worth investing heavily to recruit. Plus, outsiders have fewer sect entanglements, which is ideal. As for the Vajra Institute, Ren Yanli has shown sufficient credentials, so there’s no need to worry about the Vajra Institute.

Another clamor erupted in the arena; it turned out Bao Yu’Er had appeared. Bao Yu’Er joined the guest seat with Kui Ma and Tang Feng.
