C167 Fighting with Eldest Sister
Not only did Lu Dong lose to Nie Zhen, he even suffered a backlash from the Eastern Royal Finger. If it wasn't for Nie Zhen helping him in time, he would have already went berserk.
The pills that Nie Zhen gave to Lu Dong were all pills to recover his soul and body injuries. Nie Zhen was conveniently refining these pills to prevent emergencies. Unexpectedly, since he didn't use them now, Lu Dong used them first.
When the Duobao Sect Elder saw this scene, he knew that this duel between the two would end in a victor. In fact, if not for Nie Zhen showing mercy, Lu Dong's life might have been in danger.
"I declare that Nie Zhen will be the winner of this year's finals!" As soon as the elder announced this, several of Third Sect Master's direct disciples rushed up to the arena. Some of them were checking on Lu Dong's injuries, while others thanked Nie Zhen.
The second disciple of the Third Sect Master clasped his fists towards Liu Tie and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Nie, for helping us. We, the disciples of the Third Sect Master branch, are grateful for your help."
Everyone could see what was happening on the stage. Even though Liu Tie was at the end of his lifespan, they were unable to stop the output of the Eastern Royal Finger, and it was all thanks to Nie Zhen that he defeated Lu Dong in time, and even delivered the Spirit Pill s on top of that, allowing Third Sect Master's disciples to keep Lu Dong. No matter how unreasonable they were, they would not blame Nie Zhen.
To put it harshly, Nie Zhen could have just watched him die without saving him. However, Nie Zhen did not do so. This was the true friendship between fellow disciples.
Nie Zhen smiled and waved his hand: "You're too polite. We are all from the same sect, and as disciples of Duobao Sect, we should have helped each other. The competition in the arena is only a small matter.
Nie Zhen's words were very simple, but it made the surrounding disciples nod their heads.
Everyone knew how terrifying the deadly attack of Nie Zhen was. Shen Tiannan was turned into minced meat by Nie Zhen in the arena. If Nie Zhen attacked viciously, everyone could understand.
However, not only did Nie Zhen help out, he even gave the pill to Lu Dong to consume. It showed how magnanimous Nie Zhen was.
Everyone hoped that a senior brother would show up. Now, Nie Zhen's cultivation was powerful, his talent was outstanding, and he was also a pill master, so there was no difference between gratitude and grievances. He was also extremely compassionate to his peers, and if there was such a person as a senior brother, his cultivation path would definitely be much smoother in the future.
Compared to the current disciples of Great Sect Master's Faction, who relied on the resources of Great Sect Master's Faction, they were not thinking about how to lead the Duobao Sect disciples, but instead looked down on the outsiders.
Unknowingly, the scale in the hearts of the Duobao Sect disciples began to shift in Nie Zhen's direction.
In the past, there might have been people who were jealous of Nie Zhen, jealous that he was born with such high talent in a small place like Subordinate Country.
If a person was a bit stronger than you in every aspect, perhaps you would be jealous. However, if a person's strength completely distanced from you, then people would not be jealous.
Although Nie Zhen's current strength might not be First Senior Brother and Qin Wuyan's match, if the Duobao Sect disciples present were to choose anyone as their senior, most people would probably choose Nie Zhen.
If he was a senior brother, he would be very competent. On the contrary, if it was Qin Wuyan, other than Great Sect Master's branch, the other branch brothers would not be able to receive much attention from him.
"Phew …" "Senior Brother Nie, thank you for being lenient. I will remember this favor!" Lu Dong finally managed to catch his breath. Nie Zhen's pill had a very good curative effect. In just a short moment, Liu Tie had already recovered.
To fully recover, he would probably need to rest for a few days. But at least Lu Dong's body wouldn't be harmed anymore.
"Senior Brother Lu, I really can't afford to call you senior. I am just entering the sect for the first time... It's good that Senior Brother Lu is fine. Thank you very much for letting me go this time. " Nie Zhen cupped his hands and bowed towards Lu Dong.
Nie Zhen was trying to keep a low profile in this area. If even Lu Dong called him senior, what was going on?
Moreover, since he had just arrived here, he was already called senior in less than a year. It was easy for some disciples to feel disgusted, causing the Second Sect Master's bloodline to be excluded from the other factions.
"Eh …." Hearing Nie Zhen's words, Lu Dong was stunned. According to the practice of Duobao Sect, whoever reaches the position of teacher, whoever is stronger, will be the Senior Brother, so hearing Nie Zhen's words made him somewhat stunned.
However, when the other disciples of Third Sect Master's Faction heard Nie Zhen's words, they all felt embarrassed.
In fact, when they heard Lu Dong call Nie Zhen Senior Brother, they felt that something wasn't right. Although they were willing to call him Senior Brother Nie Zhen, but that didn't mean that they were willing to see their own First Senior Brother address them in the same way.
However, who would have thought that Nie Zhen would be so modest and low-key? He didn't have any intention of becoming brothers with Nie Zhen. According to the rules, Nie Zhen was qualified to be addressed as such, which made them admire Nie Zhen even more.
"Haha!" How about this, you owe me today, and we will call each other brothers from now on. I will call you Brother Nie, and if you think highly of me, call me Brother Lu, how about it? " Lu Dong was also a free and easy going person. Seeing that Nie Zhen didn't care about these vulgar etiquette, he felt that Nie Zhen had an even greater interest in his own, and the desire to befriend him grew even stronger in his heart.
"Very good!" Nie Zhen smiled and cupped his fists towards Lu Dong. Nie Zhen was very fond of Lu Dong's character. Now that he had the opportunity to befriend him, it was natural to befriend him.
"Hahaha!" Okay, brother, I'll leave first. You have to work hard, to … " Lu Dong stopped here for a moment and then laughed, "Competing for the championship, haha!"
"Thank you, Brother Lu."2
Lu Dong's words implied that Liu could already fight against First Senior Brother and Qin Wuyan, while Nie Zhen's response indicated that the goal in his heart was to become the champion.
Finished speaking, Liu Tie went down the stage, and the rest of Third Sect Master's disciples all cupped their hands and bowed to Nie Zhen before leaving the stage.
This time around, the salutation was from the bottom of their hearts. Regardless of strength or character, Nie Zhen was worth it for them.
"Hahahaha..." Third brother, from the looks of it, your disciples will be Nie Zhen's men in the future. " Fourth Sect Master said with a smile.
"Ol 'Four, why do you sound so bad? What do you mean by' Nie Zhen's'?" The Second Sect Master scolded with a smile. However, it seemed that the Second Sect Master was in an extremely good mood.
"Did I say anything wrong?" We old guys have seen through everything. Since Nie Zhen has shown such kindness to Lu Dong, if Nie Zhen were to order us around in the future, won't we all have to go through fire and water? "
Third Sect Master said, "If there is kindness, we must repay it. This is something that we cultivators should be able to do. Otherwise, what else would happen?"
Third Sect Master and Zhong Ming's words already expressed his attitude. This favor was owed by Third Sect Master, and although Third Sect Master did not intervene to stop him, he was still worried about his disciple. Fortunately, Nie Zhen's god-like methods were able to save Lu Dong, which moved Zhong Ming's heart.
At this time, Great Sect Master said, "You can distinguish between kindness and grudges, and care about fellow sect members. Nie Zhen is a good and responsible kid, and Lu Dong will definitely repay kindness with kindness. He has a carefree personality, and both of them are very good people."
At their age, their individual martial arts cultivation was no longer the most important thing. To be able to see their disciples continuously improve and bring honor to the sect, that was their greatest wish at the moment.
"Sigh... All of you have good disciples... It seems that no matter who I meet in the next round, my disciple will be studying with the Crown Prince... " Fifth Sect Master and Zheng Ying smiled helplessly at the other four Sect Leaders.
At this time, the fourth group's battles were all over. Nie Zhen had defeated Lu Dong to enter the sixth round, while the Second Sect Master's First Senior Sister had also successfully won against Jiang Yan. Naturally, First Senior Brother and Liu Tie entered the sixth round, and the last person to enter the top four was Fifth Sect Master's eldest disciple, Pei Qing.
Pei Qing's strength was slightly weaker than Lu Dong's. As for the remaining three people, they were all stronger than Lu Dong. In the next round of lots, no matter who they met, they would definitely be defeated.
Fifth Sect Master's words caused Third Sect Master and Fourth Sect Master to roll their eyes. Their chief disciples were eliminated by the disciples of the Second Sect Master. Whether it was Lu Dong or Zhou Tie, both of them were stronger than Pei Qing.
After another day of rest, Nie Zhen took advantage of this time to have a good rest and adjusted his condition to the peak again. After the next round, he would be fighting for the championship.
Later, he heard that Lu Dong lost to Jiang Yan in the subsequent battles and was ranked sixth.
He and Jiang Yan were originally on the same level, but Jiang Yan did not use his full strength when facing Soong Dong'er, so it was not a problem for him to deal with Lu Dong, who had yet to recover from his injuries.
After another day, the battle between core disciples had reached its climax, and it was also the last match to draw lots.
In the next round, there were only two people left, so there was no longer a question of drawing lots.
This time, Great Sect Master stood out and picked a paper stick. He muttered, "Number Two, let's fight …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Great Sect Master reached his hand into the box. He opened the paper and took a look before signing, "Number 94."
"What luck!" Duan Rong instantly complained. The two of them were his disciples, Number Two was Soong Dong'er, and Number 94 was Nie Zhen's ranking.
