Chapter 345: Direct Disciples Gather! Land of Etiquette! Bang Bang Bang! (Part 1)
"Moreover, it’s always difficult to integrate into Zhongzhou."
"This Heavenly Prodigy Ranking Battle is undoubtedly a good opportunity."
Lin Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Zhongzhou was extremely xenophobic.
Despite occupying the best locations and richest resources, anyone with ambition would want to get a foothold there, but the difficulty was incredibly high.
Zhongzhou had already established an incredibly wide and deep 'moat.'
It was extremely difficult to get in.
Even the intelligence organization, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, found it hard to develop there.
But this Heavenly Prodigy Battle was truly a great opportunity. If utilized properly, they could certainly make a bold move against the lofty Zhongzhou!
"Heavenly Prodigy Battle."
"Tsk."
"I won’t go."
"To avoid accusations of bullying the young."
Lin Fan stretched lazily. "Should I invite the disciples within the sect to watch the live stream?"
He pondered this.
Although in terms of age, he was younger than many so-called prodigies, and some of these prodigies, if calculated as ordinary people, could even be his grandfather...
But the seniority was clear.
Moreover, he wasn’t very interested in bullying those 'little guys.'
...
"Heavenly Prodigy Battle?"
Xiao Ling'er’s eyes sparkled. "I’m interested."
Huo Yun'er raised her hand. "I want to go too. The ranking doesn’t matter much, mainly to witness the brilliance of the heroes of the world, and to cheer on the fellow disciples and sisters."
Fan Jianqiang shook his head. "Don’t look at me."
"You all know me."
"I’m weak and cowardly, so I definitely won’t go."
Wang Teng: "..."
Ah, right, you’re weak.
he laughed helplessly. "I’ll go, to compete with the Zhongzhou prodigies and see how big the gap is."
Upon hearing this, Fan Jianqiang added, "Don’t be too pessimistic. Besides, why must there be a gap between you and the Zhongzhou prodigies?"
"Those are the Zhongzhou prodigies." Wang Teng was stunned, not understanding why his senior brother said this.
But Fan Jianqiang said no more, leaving Wang Teng feeling extremely uneasy.
"I..."
"Will go."
Su Yan pondered and decided to go: "To contribute to the sect."
Of course, there was another reason. He had discussed it in the group chat, and the group members all suggested he go. This time, listening to advice would be rewarding, and he would benefit greatly.
Zhu Rou Rong: "I won’t go. After all, I’m not good at fighting, and I always feel that the Dragon Clan has some potential."
One by one, everyone expressed their opinions.
Finally, they looked at He Qiang.
He Qiang, with an innocent expression, said, "Seniors, why are you looking at me?"
"I..."
"I’m just a fisherman."
"Maybe the fish in Zhongzhou are more fragrant?" Wang Teng, grabbing his neck, said, "Come along!"
"Well... I’ll give it a try?" He Qiang also became interested.
For a seasoned fisherman, nothing was more appealing than the 'next fishing spot.'
"Hey, let’s go!"
They quickly determined the number of participants. Xiao Ling'er added, "I’ll ask if Qiu Yong Qin, Qin Yu, Xu Fenglai, and the two Jiang sisters are going."
Soon, they received a response.
Everyone except Qiu Yong Qin would go.
"Speaking of which, their relationship is unusual." Fan Jianqiang’s eyes darted around. "We might be drinking wedding wine soon."
"Huh?"
Everyone was a bit stunned. "No way?"
"We’ll see." Fan Jianqiang smiled mysteriously.
...
"Heavenly Prodigy Battle."
Jie Zifu scratched his head. "And it’s initiated by multiple forces in Zhongzhou. This seems to be a big event, affecting almost the entire Immortal Martial Continent. It’s said that prodigies from all regions are already preparing."
"My master wants me to go and challenge myself."
"San Ye, what about you?"
Recently, they had been traveling and challenging swordsmen across the continent, and they had made significant progress!
Especially San Ye.
Although the gap between him and Jie Zifu was always 'one sword strike,' the feeling of being defeated was different.
At least, Jie Zifu thought so.
In the past, when facing San Ye, he could at least struggle a bit before being defeated.
Now...
He didn’t even have the will to resist.
More frighteningly, Jie Zifu couldn’t understand San Ye’s sword technique at all.
As a proud sword spirit, not understanding sword techniques was truly embarrassing, but this also proved how extraordinary San Ye’s sword talent was.
"..., let’s go and see."
After some thought, San Ye responded, "There are countless heroes in the world, and cultivators are not limited to swordsmen."
"Over these days, I have challenged swordsmen across the continent and continuously enlightened myself through swordplay, but the true nature of this sword technique needs to be verified by the world’s heroes."
"With all the prodigies of the Immortal Martial Continent gathered..."
"This is an opportunity!"
"Great!"
Jie Zifu’s eyes lit up. "Let’s pack up and head to Zhongzhou!"
These years, Jie Zifu had suffered many setbacks.
San Ye was simply 'not human'!
Well... although he wasn’t human to begin with.
But this kind of setback was truly a headache for a fellow swordsman and a sword prodigy.
Now...
He could finally watch San Ye dominate others, and perhaps, he might even dominate a few himself?
Even if he couldn’t dominate others, being dominated was also great!
"I wonder how many 'world-class prodigies' will appear this time. If there are enough, I’ll specifically challenge the strong ones, and maybe... I can achieve a hundred defeats?"
"By then, the demon embryo will be complete, and the Chaos Ancient Law will reach its peak, further aiding my progress."
"Wonderful!"
Jie Zifu’s mood improved.
This trip would be a win no matter what!
Winning would make him happy, and losing would also be beneficial!
It was simply exhilarating!
······
"The Divine Prodigy Competition?"
Shi Hao was brimming with enthusiasm, "Grandpa, I want to go."
"Good!" The Great Demon God boomed with laughter, "My grandson, is naturally the most formidable existence. In a battle of equals, you will be the invincible one!"
"This time, let's go and get a good ranking."
"I'll do my best!"
"···"
······
"Divine Prodigy?"
"Heh! In this battle, how can I not be there, Long Ao Tian..."
Long Ao Tian, who was in the midst of 'escape' and 'guerilla warfare', originally wanted to put on a show, but as the words reached his lips, he suddenly 'choked', his face turned dark, and his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"Damn it!"
"This is really not the right time!"
He suddenly realized that he was currently entangled with the Phoenix Clan, and if he went to the competition under the identity of Long Ao Tian, wouldn't he be delivering himself to his enemies? He wasn't afraid of guerrilla warfare, but this 'banquet of betrayal' was like handing over his head.
"Damn it!"
After much deliberation, he transformed his appearance in an uninhabited area, then repeatedly changed locations, and finally, he resumed his appearance as Long Ao Jiao.
"Hmph."
"Divine Prodigy?"
"I'll concede the second place, who dares to claim the first?"
She crossed her arms, emphasizing the profound truth on her chest, making it appear even more majestic.
Her long, straight black hair, along with her black leather skirt and suspender top, was incredibly alluring.
"The Central Prefecture's Divine Prodigy?"
"Mere mortals, let me give you all a lesson."
"···"
······
"Hosted by the Central Prefecture, the Divine Prodigies from the Eight Domains gather, the Golden Age's most prestigious Divine Prodigy Competition, will be ranked on the Divine Prodigy List, right?"
"The era belonging to this Archdeity has finally arrived!"
After enduring countless hardships, Tang Wu finally emerged from the secret realm, he held a trident in his hand, and upon receiving the news, he was inexplicably excited.
After enduring bitterness, sweetness follows!
After enduring bitterness, sweetness arrives! This time, not only did he obtain two martial souls, but he also acquired this divine artifact, and his strength increased to a terrifying degree.
Furthermore...
Even the heavens knew he needed an opportunity to prove himself, and they delivered it right to him...
He!
This was not a delightful situation?
"It's time to let the world know of this Archdeity's might and let all Divine Prodigies experience the fear of being dominated by me."
"Xiao Ling'er, Long Ao Tian, Shi Qi... Heh, Shi Qi is already dead!"
"And Lu Ming..."
"All of you, wait for this Archdeity."
"In this battle, I'll slay you all!"
Boom!
He raised the trident in his hand, and the seawater behind him instantly exploded, creating tumultuous waves and a towering tsunami.
······
"Master, I want to go too, please."
Little Dragon Maiden had already undergone significant changes.
When she left the Moon Holding Sect, she still had the appearance of a little loli.
But after these two years, she had already grown into a teenager with a youthful and lovely appearance.
Not only had her body developed, but her looks had also changed significantly, becoming vibrant, lively, and adorable, with a hint of mischievousness.
She hugged Gu Xinglian's arm, swaying and acting coquettish, said, "Please, Master."
"I also want to give it a try."
"Never mind."
Gu Xinglian couldn't refuse, and could only smile, "Go ahead."
"This time, the Great Elder will lead the team, so don't cause any trouble."
"Thank you, Master!"
"I like you the most."
"Mu~a!"
Little Dragon Maiden left, overjoyed.
······
Throughout the Immortal Martial Continent, countless forces and Divine Prodigies were stirred by the news.
Immortal Ancient Clans, Powerful Immortal Dynasties, and Secluded Races...
Powerful cultivators and Divine Prodigies who rarely ventured out were all appearing one after another.
For an ordinary Divine Prodigy Competition, they would usually not pay any attention, but this time, with multiple major forces from the Central Prefecture jointly hosting it, the prestige was simply too high.
As long as one could 'make it onto the golden list', it would be a testament to their strength.
Who wouldn't be moved?
The forces were moved, and the Divine Prodigies themselves were also thrilled.
After all, normal young people are usually full of youthful vigor.
If they weren't vigorous, could they still be called young?
Moreover, being a Divine Prodigy, they had already overwhelmed countless opponents on their path, and who didn't have a bit of arrogance? Naturally, they all wanted to prove themselves, step on others to rise to the top, and become the 'supreme'.
Now, there just happened to be such a platform.
Even those with a usually calm temperament couldn't help but be moved at this moment.
······
"When are we leaving?"
Wang Teng couldn't wait any longer.
Xiao Ling'er gently smiled and soothed, "Don't rush, don't rush."
"We still need to wait for others."
"Wait for others?"
"Didn't Qin Yu, Xu Fenglai, and Song Yunxiao all arrive?"
"And me."
"Hehe, everyone, hello."
Shi Hao arrived.
He grinned happily.
"So, you're going too, Junior Brother Shi Hao?" Wang Teng was delighted, "With you there, we'll definitely get a good ranking!"
"So, can we leave now?"
"There's still someone else." Xiao Ling'er said mysteriously.
"Still someone else?" Wang Teng was taken aback, "Who?"
Xiao Ling'er smiled enigmatically, "Guess?"
"Me, it's me."
Jian Zi arrived.
However, at this moment, he looked rather comical.
On his head was a lazy San Ye, a perfect human-shaped mount.
"San Ye?!"
"Jian Zi?"
"You're going too?"
"This time, it'll be so much fun!"
The crowd was filled with excitement.
"Hmph!"
"How fun is it?"
"If I don't go, who dares to claim the title of Divine Prodigy? What a joke!" Long Ao Jiao quietly appeared, crossing her arms, her face cold, emanating a powerful aura.
"Ah, right, right, right, when it comes to putting on a show, who can compare to you?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Long Ao Jiao's face turned dark, "What's so funny?"
"Behold, this time, I will dominate and slay all who stand in my way!"
"You better pray that you don't encounter me, or else I'll eliminate you all!"
Then, she squeezed her eyes at Xiao Ling'er and Ya Ya, "But rest assured, if we meet, I'll go easy on you. I won't let you lose too badly."
The two girls, well aware of Long Ao Jiao's personality, sighed inwardly but didn't bother arguing with her. Instead, they rolled their eyes, letting her figure it out on her own.
"Hey?"
"Am I late?"
A small head suddenly popped out.
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice and were momentarily stunned.
"Who are you...?"
"Xiao Longnv?"
"Huh?"
"You've grown so much?"
The girls gathered around, extremely curious.
How long had it been? Back then, Xiao Longnv was a little loli and a mischievous child, but now she was a vibrant and beautiful young lady, almost unrecognizable.
"Hehe."
"Our Dragon Clan is different from humans."
"This time, when I return, I will have some opportunities. My master has prepared many good things for me. Although the time is short, I have now entered the growth stage, leaving my childhood behind."
"My strength has greatly improved!"
Xiao Longnv waved her fists and laughed, "This time, I will definitely surprise you all!"
Then, she turned to look at Long Ao Jiao and said, "Hmph!"
"Now, I'm not afraid of you anymore!"
Long Ao Jiao chuckled, "Ah, yes, yes, yes."
"I hope you can be this tough on the arena."
"..."
After a long time apart, it was natural for them to catch up with each other.
Old friends chatted leisurely, their moods were high.
Even Shi Hao made a special trip to catch several rare Eight Treasures Chickens. He grilled them to perfection, and everyone ate with oil dripping from their mouths, almost swallowing their tongues.
It was late at night, and the moon was hanging above the willow trees.
But they didn't rest; instead, they were in high spirits and continued their journey under the moonlight.
"Xiao Ling'er, Huo Yun'er, Wang Teng, Ya Ya, Qin Yu, Xu Fenglai, Su Yan, Song Yunxiao, He Qiang, Jiang Li, Jiang Ni, San Ye, Jianzi, Shi Hao, Xiao Longnv, Long Ao Jiao..."
All of them were direct disciples or had connections to the Moon Holding Sect.
Besides them, the Beast Taming Sect and Great Harmony Palace also wanted to send people to accompany them, but they changed their minds.
There was no way; the gap between them was too wide.
This made them feel strange.
That night, Qu Feifei and Qian Yin Yang, who rarely communicated through sound transmission jade tokens, had a private chat.
"Did you send people?"
"Of course, unless your sect's disciples didn't go?"
"They went, but..."
"Hmm, if I say that in the Southwest Domain, who has the potential to secure a high ranking position, it's probably only the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land and the Moon Holding Sect, right?"
"The Moon Holding Sect has so many Divine Prodigies, and they are all heaven-defying, like Shi Hao, who is simply..."
"Sigh!"
"Speaking of which, I subconsciously feel that our strength should be above the Moon Holding Sect, but the reality is that the Moon Holding Sect now makes us look up to them..."
"Is it just looking up? They've almost become an existence that we can't even dream of reaching."
"The times are changing too fast. Us old folks, sigh..."
"..."
Both sighed, and this night was destined to be a sleepless one for countless people.
"Look!"
"It's the Moon Holding Sect's Divine Prodigy!"
"That child is Shi Hao."
"So... so many people!"
"Did the Moon Holding Sect send so many people to participate?"
"Most of them are well-known, but they won't be able to secure a good ranking, right?"
"Hmph, how is that possible? There are differences even among Divine Prodigies. These disciples of the Moon Holding Sect might be top-notch in the Eight Domains, but what are they in the Central Prefecture?"
"Exactly, if I were them, I wouldn't go and embarrass myself."
"..."
...
In the spatial channel, a large number of cultivators pointed and whispered.
Xiao Ling'er's group, filled with handsome men and beautiful women, naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Moreover, with Shi Hao's reputation at its peak, it wasn't difficult to recognize them.
However, Xiao Ling'er and the others ignored the whispers and gossip.
They let people talk; as long as it wasn't too excessive, it was fine.
After all...
You can't stop people from being envious, right?
But...
They might not care, but not everyone felt the same way.
Long Ao Jiao walked out of the spatial channel range, and in the astonished gazes of the crowd...
Slap!
She threw a big fist, directly knocking out the two most envious people.
Everyone was stunned!
"You?!"
"What did I do?"
Long Ao Jiao spoke, and with another big fist, she knocked out the two, causing their mouths to swell up.
"How dare you commit violence in the city?!"
The two roared, wanting to fight back, but Long Ao Jiao directly pinned them down, and they couldn't break free.
"With your abilities, you dare to point and whisper."
"There are people with keys over there, why don't you get a few?"
"In the city, so what?"
"If not in the city, you'd be dead already!"
"..."
...
"This Long Ao Jiao."
Lin Fan, who was watching with the Eightfold Magnifying Glass Technique, twitched his lips.
"She really brings trouble wherever she goes."
"With so many main characters gathered together, it would be a miracle if there wasn't any trouble."
"..."
What does a main character look like? This topic might be hard to discuss.
But they all had one thing in common—troublemakers.
Even if they didn't actively seek trouble, it would still find them.
It seemed troublesome.
But it was precisely these troubles that promoted their rapid and vigorous growth.
"Hmm, so I need to be mentally prepared for this."
"It's highly unlikely that their journey will be peaceful."
"..."
As it turned out, Lin Fan's perspective was spot on.
On the first day of their departure, Long Aojiao directly unleashed her temper.
The second day even saw an extremely dramatic scene of 'flirting with female companions,' but.
