"It's really here!"
Ma Yu exclaimed in a low voice. He pushed the reeds aside and walked to the edge of the river. He saw a young man who looked similar to him standing on the other side of the river.
Ma Yu was slightly startled. After sweeping through the area with his Spiritual Sense, he discovered that there was not a single trace of Spiritual Qi coming from the other party's body. Surprisingly, he was just a mortal. His expression immediately relaxed.
"Brother Ma, I still feel that this matter isn't quite right."
The voice came from behind Ma Yu, a young man with average stature and average features pushed aside the reeds and walked out. When he saw Yang Junshan, he was slightly surprised, but he immediately noticed that there was no aura of a cultivator around him, so he relaxed and said to Yang Junshan, "Brother, please leave this place for now. We, the cultivators, have something to discuss, so as to not hurt you."
Yang Junshan smiled, nodded and left.
Tang Wei also felt that this young man was a bit strange. It seemed that he was acting a little too plainly. He did not have the kind of fear and pettiness a mortal would have when meeting a cultivator.
When Ma Yu saw Yang Junshan leave, he also thought that perhaps it was because the mortals that were born in the Yang family were experienced and knowledgeable, so he immediately said, "Brother Tang look, it's here. I don't know if this Ding Rulan is too stupid or too confident, but she's actually submerged in water like this. Isn't she afraid of going berserk from being disturbed by others?"
"No matter what, that Ding Rulan is still the leader of the Wilderness Town. Even if I can defeat her, what I will lose is the strength of our Wilderness Town, and now, the Yang Family has divided the resources of the twelve counties into several levels. The competition between each county and town is fierce, and these three years, the elite competition will be an important test. Ding Rulan is younger than me by three years, so even if she participates in the next big competition, her strength will definitely surpass mine."
You're the number one ranked elite seed of the Wilderness. If you weren't recruited to help the Zhang Family refine the mid-grade magic tool, how could you have missed the Wilderness Town selection? This is already your last chance to become an elite disciple. If you don't snatch it from Ding Rulan, would you still snatch it from Han Qianfeng? "
Tang Wei sighed and said helplessly, "To be honest, I would rather go steal it from Han Qianfeng."
"Are you crazy?"
Ma Yu said resentfully, "Then who is Han Qianfeng? He was the grandson of Han Xiusheng. What was his status? This is the brother-in-law of the Yang Clan's Patriarch, Yang Tian Gang, the blood uncle of the Daoist Master Junshan.
Seeing Tang Wei lower his head without a word, Ma Yu knew his good friend's temperament and couldn't help but advise: "That Han Qianfeng originally received training from the Yang Family Hall in Xishan Village, so he could absolutely be considered an elite disciple to participate in the Large Competition. So why would he go to such great lengths to enter the Wilderness Town to take a spot? "Isn't it because the twenty-eight outer sect disciples participating in the elite competition will be taken care of in the first round? And the Yang Family, based on their strength and their meticulous division of treatment levels, will be treated better than the disciples that will be eliminated in the first round!"
Tang Wei scratched his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. Who doesn't know that Han Xiusheng is the second in command of the Yang Family's caravan? Not to mention that he's the brother-in-law of the Yang Family, how could his grandson fancy those cultivation resources?"
"Aiyo, my Drip Bro!"
Ma Yu patted his head, looking like he was hopeless, and said, "You must have gone stupid from refining. How come you don't know anything?" After the first round, the candidates would have the qualifications to listen to the Yang family's Daoist Master in person. In fact, this year's grand event will be rumored to have many other true disciples from other sects. At that time, there might also be other true disciples that are close to the Yang family that will be invited to lecture on the Dao.
"Although that Han Qianfeng is not bad, he is still ranked behind you and Ding Rulan in the Wilderness Town. But why is it that in the selection of elite seeds, the most powerful brother, Brother Tang, was sent by Yang Tiezhu to the county's smithy to be his assistant?" Don't you understand? "
Tang Wei gave an embarrassed smile and said: "That's why I wanted to challenge Han Qianfeng! Of course, I don't have the guts to do that. I'm just thinking about it. "
Ma Yu felt that his words had been a waste of half a day. This fellow actually knew everything, and wasted so much spitting in vain.
But soon after, his eyes flickered and he said: "Okay, since you know, then I won't say anymore. No matter what, the person who has the most hope of entering the top eight is you. Oh, Ding Rulan is already here."
Tang Wei quickly turned around and saw a girl wearing coarse clothes. Her figure could be described as burly as she coldly stared at the two of them from the surface of the water.
Just as he wanted to say something, he was interrupted by the lady in front of him, "I heard what you guys said just now. Cut the crap. Since you want the spot for the Elite Seeds, then I'll take it from you."
Tang Wei's expression was still hesitant, but he was caught off guard as Ma Yu pushed him. He couldn't help but stagger forward a few steps.
Ding Rulan, the female cultivator on the surface of the water, sneered. Her hands formed a watermark and a column of water shot out from the water. It turned into two water snakes in the air and bit at Tang Wei from left and right.
When he saw her attack, he knew that she was not holding back. He hurriedly put his hand into his mouth and spat out a flame, before transforming into two fire serpents that pounced on the two water serpents. With a 'chi chi' sound, the fire serpents and the water serpents respectively disappeared in midair, leaving only a cloud of mist curling up in the air.
Ding Rulan knew that the person in front of her could be considered a formidable opponent. She didn't have any reason to stop her attacks this time. Water vapor rose from the surface of the water and condensed into tiny water swords. They densely shot towards Tang Wei.
This was the Small Cloud Rain Technique that she had just cultivated. It was able to use water sources to form clouds and rain in a small area. Now, with the help of the refreshing water, her strength had increased tremendously.
For a moment, Tang Wei was actually suppressed by Ding Rulan. He was inwardly shocked. Ding Rulan's cultivation had clearly improved by leaps and bounds. While the other party had taken the initiative, he was actually unable to counterattack for a while.
When he saw Ding Rulan standing on the surface of the water, he suddenly shouted, "Ding Rulan, you have the geographical advantage while standing on the surface of the water. Do you have the opportunity to come to the shore to fight against Tang Wei on your own?"
Ding Rulan sneered, "You guys are plotting to steal my spot, and you want me to fight you fair? "Since it's fair, Yang Zhen has already confirmed my spot for the challenge, why are you guys still here to snatch it?"1
Tang Wei resisted the steam coming from the lake, not saying a word.
Ma Yu shouted again, "Ding Ru Lan, to be fair, which one of you and Tang Wei is stronger? If Tang Wei could participate in this year's Elite Tournament, wouldn't his chances of getting good grades be higher than yours? At that time, the whole Wilderness Town would benefit from this! To tell you the truth, I'm afraid the entire Wilderness Town would be more willing to let Tang Wei participate in this year's tournament. "
Ding Rulan gave a muffled grunt when she heard this. Her face suddenly paled, but the sacred art in her hand was cast even faster. Clouds of water vapor rushed towards the shore at an even faster speed.
Seeing this, Ma Yu loudly said, "And the Yang family is famous for its earth attribute cultivation technique, even for their fire attribute cultivation technique and wood element cultivation technique, they still have Yang Junhao and Yang Junqi. We have also had contact with the Yang family before, when have you heard about the Yang family having a water attribute? Even if you are able to become an elite disciple, do you still have any hope of breaking through to the Rebirth Realm? "
Ma Yu's words seemed to hit Ding Rulan's weak spot. The hand seal suddenly stopped and Tang Wei's loud shout came from the shore. A fiery cloud exploded and the misty water vapor was instantly cleared.
However, Tang Wei didn't take the opportunity to counterattack. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the reeds.
Ma Yu originally thought that Tang Wei had found an opening and would immediately counterattack and defeat him. Unexpectedly, he left without looking back. His expression turned anxious as he stepped forward and grabbed Tang Wei's arm. "Brother Tang, where are you going?"
Tang Wei shook off his arm and sighed: "Brother Ma, forget it. No matter what, Ding Rulan already got the quota. If you go and snatch it away from me, I won't be able to justify myself."
When he saw Tang Wei push away from the river bank, he immediately chased after him. However, he suddenly saw Tang Wei standing outside the reeds and when he went over, he saw the mortal that he met just now on the riverbank. He only heard him ask: "Hey, don't you know that the Yang Family has another way to recruit elite disciples? "Since you have the ability to refine equipment, why don't you give it a try?"
"What way?"
"Who are you? Are you eavesdropping on our conversation?"
The two responded differently, which gave Yang Junshan a clear understanding of the two little cultivators' characters. Of course, Yang Junshan knew the whole process of the fight on the river bank as if he was there even though he didn't personally see it.
