Chapter 363: Striking Similarities! Talent Recruitment! The Finals Begin. (Part 2)
"
"Ha."
Xiao Ling Er spread her hands, "Actually, at that moment, I thought so too."
"I really thought I was done for, and I was even prepared for death."
"But..."
"At that time, I thought, I can't just lose here, right? I haven't completed Master's task yet."
"So I thought, I'll give it my all, and use whatever means necessary."
"Then, perhaps it was between life and death that my power was truly unleashed."
Everyone gasped, drawing in a breath of cold air.
"I thought you had it under control, but I didn't expect you to really risk your life!"
Medusa was speechless, "You're really not thinking rationally."
"I admit it." Xiao Ling Er nodded, "But, many times, there isn't enough time to think, nor are there many opportunities for us to consider every angle."
"If it's time to fight, then I'll give it my all."
"Master treats me like family, caring for me in every way. How can I possibly let Master down?"
Everyone felt a sense of relief.
Long Ao Jiao, however, rolled her eyes, glaring at him fiercely, "What did you say?!"
"Nonsense!"
"Be careful, or I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Jian Zi weakly raised his hand, "..."
"Master, look at her!"
Xiao Ling Er, "..."
"Haha."
For a moment, everyone burst into laughter.
They were truly relieved.
But fortunately, the result was good, and Xiao Ling Er's battle prowess had already skyrocketed.
From the perspective of gains, it was undoubtedly a huge profit.
It can only be said that they are all people close to Xiao Ling Er, genuinely caring for her from the bottom of their hearts, which is why they felt relieved and fearful.
At the same time, Xiao Ling Er took out a sound transmission jade talisman.
It was Lin Fan's transmission.
"Ling Er, there's no need to push yourself too hard."
"As a teacher, I've said more than once that everything must be done with the premise of ensuring personal safety."
"Do you want me to clean up for you? Or do you want to 'earn' my tears?"
Xiao Ling Er's expression turned serious, "Master, I won't dare do it again."
"..."
"Disciple understands her mistake."
She knew that Lin Fan was watching her, and she couldn't help but stick out her tongue, "I won't dare do it again."
······
"It's my turn."
Xu Feng Lai stood up, "The group finals, ah, the Heaven Splitting Sect Lady, I don't have much confidence in reasoning with you."
He sighed, "If I lose, don't blame me."
"Naturally, no one will blame you." Xiao Ling Er's mood was quite good now.
Actually, Lin Fan's task for them didn't strictly require them to achieve a certain rank or ensure a specific number of people advancing to the top few.
It's just...
They themselves wanted to fight, wanted to try their best, and that was all.
Especially Xiao Ling Er.
In her eyes, when she first entered the Moon Holding Sect, Master Lin Fan gave her the sect's greatest foundation, the Earth Core Mystic Fire, just because she asked for it!
Such a favor, how could she not repay it?
And before that, Master had never mentioned any requirements.
Now, Master finally had a request, and it wasn't even for himself, but for them, the disciples, and the entire sect...
Xiao Ling Er naturally had to fight!
With her character, not fighting would be the strange thing.
As for Xu Feng Lai and the others, Xiao Ling Er wouldn't forcefully require them to fight alongside her.
Moreover, even if she did force them, it might not change anything.
What if they lose?
It wouldn't be right to let them risk their lives, right?
"You should pay attention to your own safety and do your best. The rest, you don't need to worry too much about."
"Yes, Old Xu, you give it your all."
"Victory and defeat are common in battle, and reaching the group finals is already a sure spot on the list, and among the top prodigies, there's no shame."
"Victory is better, but there's no need to feel dejected in defeat."
"Yes."
"..."
Amidst everyone's comforting voices, Xu Feng Lai stepped onto the stage.
"Keke."
The Heaven Splitting Sect Lady was charming and alluring, and her glance alone carried boundless charm. At this moment, she covered her mouth, giggling non-stop.
"What are you laughing at?"
Xu Feng Lai was puzzled.
"Little Brother Xu Feng Lai, your past is quite legendary."
"You've heard of my story?"
"For the Heaven Splitting Sect to know a person's past, it's not difficult." She smiled, "But Little Brother, your learning is too diverse, not pure enough, nor concise enough."
"Why don't you..."
"How about joining our Heaven Splitting Sect?"
"With the foundation of our Heaven Splitting Sect, as well as the various elders, the Supreme One, their strength and abilities, will help you become stronger, help you solve your shortcomings, and there will absolutely be no issues."
"At that time, perhaps you can even contend with me, who knows?"
Xu Feng Lai blinked, "..."
Still thought you'd say something!
Turns out it's poaching!
Seeing that he remained silent, the Heaven Splitting Maiden spoke again, "Initially, I had also invited you, Shi Hao, your junior martial brother. It's a pity that he didn't seem interested and hasn't contacted me since."
"Well, you're not bad either, senior martial brother."
"Consider it?"
"..."
...
Within the Moon Holding Sect, Lin Fan rolled his eyes in frustration.
"Damn, I have to admit, this is impressive."
"It's always others digging into my corner, and now someone's digging into yours?!"
"How dare they!"
"..."
...
"The Saintess is laughing."
"My sect and my master have treated me with great kindness. Although I, Xu Feng Lai, am a playboy who doesn't take things seriously and claims to be no good person, even enjoying the company of women and beauty, I would never betray my sect."
Xu Feng Lai shook his head in refusal.
"It's not necessarily betraying the sect." The Heaven Splitting Maiden calmly replied, "Even if it's a third-rate or top-tier sect, beneath a Sacred Land, it's ultimately just an ordinary sect."
"An ordinary sect disciple entering a Sacred Land is a great honor, a heavenly blessing. The entire sect would receive a Sacred Land commendation, and within the sect, they would celebrate this joyous occasion with great fanfare."
Xu Feng Lai was exasperated, "Are you pretending or truly not understanding?"
"Are you giving away your sect's disciples to them?"
"Who would look upon your Sacred Land's resources?"
"If they can take people from you, who wouldn't be a generation's prodigy? Even if they aren't unparalleled, as they grow, they will undoubtedly become a pillar of their region."
"If they aren't taken by you, with such prodigies in your sect, wouldn't it welcome a stronger era?"
"You're even celebrating and thanking them... Is that forced gratitude?"
"Who doesn't know that your Sacred Land is powerful?"
"Who dares to defy your Sacred Land?"
"But are you sure that beneath those bright smiles, there isn't anger, sorrow, and helplessness?"
As these words were spoken, the Heaven Splitting Maiden's smile gradually faded.
Below the stage...
Countless people nodded in agreement, resonating with the sentiment, their hearts heavy with emotion.
Especially the elders of various large and small factions.
Xu Feng Lai's words held great reason.
Who would dare argue?
The Sacred Land wanted someone, who would dare to defy them? Even those prodigies had little choice.
Even if they were willing to stay, the sect wouldn't be implicated. However, facing the Sacred Land's profound foundation and resource temptation, how many would be willing to stay?
Moreover, even if they were willing to stay, their sect might still be dealt with by the Sacred Land.
For instance, that Sacred Land was the Heavenly Repair Sacred Land...
In the end, who would dare give up a prodigy they had painstakingly found?
But there was no choice.
The situation was stronger than people, and one couldn't afford to offend the Sacred Land. They could only smile and send the person away, swallowing their anger.
Even these reasons, everyone understood, but no one dared to mention them.
At this moment, Xu Feng Lai stood on the stage, his words unrestrained, as he tore away the veil of pretense.
"How fresh."
He sighed, "Taking away another sect's prodigy, blocking their development, and thinking we'd thank them?"
"Do you think... it's possible?"
"The Sacred Land, tsk."
"The Sacred Land, huh."
"Never mind, I won't say more." Xu Feng Lai realized and quickly said, "If I continue, I might stir up trouble. Heaven Splitting Maiden, make your move. Let's see your true skills."
"Not so fast."
The Heaven Splitting Maiden smiled, gently caressing her hair, her allure captivating, "You say you like women and beauty, but am I not beautiful?"
"As a fellow disciple of Heaven Splitting Sect, we'll be sectmates. In the future, we'll spend a lot of time together."
"Enough."
Xu Feng Lai spread his hands, "Since you know my past, you should understand that I've been a playboy for over a decade. Whether true or false, I'm still a playboy."
"I've handled over a thousand women, if not eight hundred. Not to mention countless beauties, there are also some in my heart."
"For a woman like you..."
"Beautiful as you may be, on the surface, you seem to be 'dazed and confused', as if anyone can do."
"But if it's truly that time, you'll become more conservative than anyone. Not to mention a kiss, even holding hands would depend on your mood, and sometimes it's a no-go."
"So, put away your act."
"The Sacred Land is indeed good, but in my hometown, there's an old saying, 'A golden nest is not as good as one's own dog nest'. No matter how you entice me, I won't leave the Moon Holding Sect."
"You do indeed understand women." The Heaven Splitting Maiden said.
"Never mind."
"Since it's like this, make your move."
"Let me taste it, the power of the Human Sword acknowledged by the Martial Emperor himself."
"Then watch closely."
Xu Feng Lai furrowed his brows, his eyes sharp as he unsheathed his sword, "Sword Nine! Inferior Horse Wine Six Ten Thousand Miles!"
Boom!
His first move was Sword Nine.
"Indeed unique, worthy of the Human Sword."
The Heaven Splitting Maiden responded seriously but without panic, "Heaven Splitting Technique!"
The Heaven Splitting Sect and the Heaven Repair Sect were arch-rivals.
This was evident from their names.
The Heaven Repair Technique was a semi-support skill, and at its highest level, it could even repair the heavens. The Heaven Splitting Technique, on the other hand, was purely offensive.
At its highest level, it could split the heavens!
The Human Sword was indeed formidable and worthy of praise, but facing such a divine technique, it was still a notch below.
Six Ten Thousand Miles was blocked, but Xu Feng Lai wasn't annoyed.
His sword path wasn't limited to one.
Sizzle!
He drew his sword again, Two Sleeve Green Snakes!
"Eh?"
"This is the method of Sword God Li?"
The Heaven Splitting Maiden was surprised, "I never expected that you would consider me as your successor."
"But, with just two sleeve green snakes, you're underestimating me a little, right?"
With a wave of her hand, she shattered the two green lights and took the initiative to attack.
"Heaven Splitting Technique!"
She traversed the void, severing the universe, as if to subdue all beings under heaven.
The might was overwhelming, and countless divine runes surged forward, clashing with the chains of order.
However, they were completely ineffective, and this attack was terrifyingly powerful!
"Is this the strength of the Heaven Splitting Maiden?"
Xu Feng Lai took a deep breath, "Since it's like this, I can only fight seriously."
"Sword Opens Heavenly Gate!"
Whoosh!
With a single sword strike, the heavenly gate opened wide.
It was as if the heavens were split open, revealing a massive gap, and no one dared to look down upon them, whether in heaven or on earth.
Heaven: Ah, yes, yes, you're all going to split me, so just split me, okay?
"..."
No one knew what Heaven was thinking.
But when the two unleashed their ultimate moves, they clashed.
In the end, Xu Feng Lai was blasted back, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
After that, the two continued their intense battle.
Xu Feng Lai unleashed all his techniques, but he was still lacking.
In the end, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
However, the Heaven Splitting Maiden didn't gain much advantage either. She was heavily injured, and her consumption was enormous.
It was a victory, but it wasn't a flawless one; it could only be considered a narrow victory.
"Alas..."
She sighed, "You really don't want to join our Heaven Splitting Sect?"
"With your talent, even if you don't become a Holy Son, you will undoubtedly be in the first sequence."
"With your talent, not joining the Central State Holy Land and instead choosing the Moon Holding Sect is indeed a waste of talent."
"Perhaps."
Xu Feng Lai smiled, "But in the end, we all have our own principles, don't we?"
"There will always be some matters that cannot be measured by interests alone, and we cannot simply focus on gains and losses."
"Moreover, I believe the Moon Holding Sect is not inferior to others. The master and disciples are like family, and they love and care for each other more than blood relatives."
"Speaking of which, I also think that the Moon Holding Sect's foundation and strength are not weak."
"Actually, it's you who should consider joining the Moon Holding Sect."
"Your talent is also exceptional. Joining the Moon Holding Sect, even if you're not in the sequence of disciples, being a personal disciple of the Sect Master is not a problem."
"Moreover, with my recommendation, the Sect Master will likely not refuse."
Everyone: "..."
Heaven Splitting Maiden: "..."
This person is simply a heaven-defying monster!
It's reasonable for a Holy Land to recruit people.
But for you, the representative of the Moon Holding Sect, to recruit people? It's not impossible, but what gives you the right to recruit from a Holy Land?
What about the Moon Holding Sect's foundation, strength, and other aspects? Which of these can compare to a Holy Land?
"You're laughing."
The Heaven Splitting Maiden shook her head and smiled.
"You know this is just a joke, right?"
Xu Feng Lai rolled his eyes, "But the one who started this joke was you."
"..."
"..."
Xu Feng Lai -—— Defeated.
...
"Zou Hu."
On the arena.
The Nine Dragon Sacred Land's Holy Son, Zou Hu, lightly clenched his fists at Qin Yu.
Zou Hu was a rough man, wearing a tiger skin mini skirt, his robust muscles were particularly eye-catching, making it hard to ignore.
"Qin Yu."
Qin Yu also clenched her fists in return, then asked curiously, "Speaking of which, you're... a member of the Demon Race?"
"Yes."
"A Tiger Demon." Zou Hu nodded, "Using your human race's terms, I'm a White Tiger."
"Oh?"
Qin Yu became even more curious, "Then what's the deal with this tiger skin mini skirt? Why isn't it white, but instead the common yellow with black spots?"
Zou Hu: "..."
This person's...
Why is their focus so strange?
However, as a member of the Demon Race and a Tiger Demon, Zou Hu was very honest. He explained, "This isn't my fur, nor is it a result of transformation. It's my second uncle's skin."
Qin Yu: "(ΩДΩ) ?!"
"You..."
"Your second uncle?!"
"Yes."
Zou Hu continued, "My clan was originally a Tiger Demon family."
Qin Yu: "Hmm..."
If that's what you're saying, you're a demon, so how can your blood relatives not be Tiger Demons?
"But, but, we're not a White Tiger family."
"My bloodline underwent a mutation, so I'm a White Tiger."
"When I was young, once, I went hunting with my second uncle. Unfortunately, we encountered human cultivators, and my second uncle was no match for them. To protect me, he suffered severe injuries and eventually passed away."
"After that, I peeled off my second uncle's skin with tears and kept it by my side, always remembering him."
"Later, after joining the Nine Dragon Sacred Land and transforming into a human form, I modified this tiger skin into a skirt. It's more convenient to wear, and this way, I can always be together with my second uncle."
"It's as if my second uncle is still with me."
Qin Yu: "..."
"6!"
The audience below: "666!"
"By the way, where is your second uncle's body?"
"..."
"I ate it."
"There was no other way. There were too many cultivators hunting, and I didn't dare to go out. I could only hide in the dark, waiting for them to leave. But during this process, I was so hungry that to prevent myself from starving and to avenge my second uncle, I..."
"!" Qin Yu scratched her head, "I know this question might be a bit intrusive, but I'm genuinely curious."
"What does it taste like?"
Zou Hu: "!!!"
What the hell does it taste like!
How intrusive!
Knowing it's intrusive, you still ask?
"It tastes like barbecue."
"!"
Zou Hu: "!!!"
The hell does it taste like barbecue!
Knowing it tastes like barbecue, you still ask?
In the Southern Region, the Nine Dragon Sacred Land was primarily inhabited by demons, with very few humans.
Or rather, the entire Southern Region had very few humans.
It was a paradise for demons, or rather...
A cage!
