Chapter 305 The Competition Begins!
"yeah!"
At this moment, at the gate of the Tianshi Mansion scenic spot in Qianshan, the old Tianshi was standing next to the bloated leader, gesturing to the camera with scissor hands.
Zhang Lingyu was standing behind him, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. It was obvious that everyone had a good impression of this down-to-earth old Taoist priest.
"Haha! I guess some leader came to inspect it again. It's really hard work, Master Tian..." Seeing this, Wang Ye couldn't help but laugh.
"This, this is it? Did you see it so easily?" Zhang Chulan stared with a speechless look on his face.
Not long after...
"Today's interview is over. Thank you, Heavenly Master!" The reporters finally collected their equipment, and Heavenly Master was released.
"Old Heavenly Master! King Wudang also pays homage to Old Heavenly Master! Look who I have brought to you!" Wang Ye quickly stepped forward and saluted Old Heavenly Master.
"Ah... Wang Ye... how is your master?" The old Heavenly Master turned around and recognized Wang Ye, and greeted him with a smile.
Without waiting for the king to reply, he glanced at the young man next to him. When he saw the aura of golden light and thunder in his body, he opened his eyes immediately:
"Is it...Chu Lan?"
"I……"
After hearing the words, Zhang Chulan took a step forward and spoke softly. Suddenly seeing the old Heavenly Master, he was a little at a loss.
"Call me Master! Your grandfather taught you both the Golden Light Curse and the Thunder Technique. Although you are not my first disciple, it is not unfair to call me Master!" Upon seeing this, the old Heavenly Master smiled and took the initiative to speak.
"Master!"
Zhang Chulan shouted immediately.
At this time, Feng Baobao and Xu San and Xu Si also came up. Seeing the two meeting each other, Xu San and Xu Si couldn't help but look at each other, and they both saw what the other person meant.
They were not worried about Zhang Chulan meeting Lao Tianshi in advance. Lao Tianshi went to such great lengths just to allow this kid to participate in the Luo Tian Da Jiao, so naturally he would not let him withdraw midway.
Soon, the old Heavenly Master greeted Zhang Lingyu to receive other visitors, and he took Zhang Chulan into the temple and entered a secret room.
After sitting down...
"Master, master, I..."
"Okay Chu Lan, I know what you want to ask. Speaking of which, why do you look nothing like Huaiyi? That stinky dwarf actually has such a tall and upright grandson... It's really..."
"Huaiyi?"
"Yes! Your grandfather's name is Zhang Huaiyi! Zhang Xilin is a pseudonym he used to avoid trouble...so you can't find anything using this name!"
After that, Zhang Chulan immediately asked a lot of questions, but it was obvious that the old Heavenly Master couldn't answer anything, and he had to be allowed to inherit the position of Heavenly Master.
In this way, Zhang Chulan has no other choice but to bite the bullet and participate in the conference, and he must strive to win in the end so that he can have a chance to learn the truth.
Afterwards, he left the quiet room and joined Feng Baobao and the others. Wang Ye was already one step ahead. The conference was about to start, so they hurried towards the back mountain.
Along the way, several people also met many strangers who also came to participate in the conference. They crossed the canyon with them and finally arrived at the competition venue before the conference started.
"Speaking of which, more than four years ago, the debate between You Fang and Lao Tianshi was also held here. You can still feel the traces of Tao Yun left on the surrounding walls." Looking around, Xu San pushed He pushed up his glasses.
"Haha, that boy is indeed a genius. I am afraid that the combined total of his peers who come this time cannot compare, but there will always be one or two such guys in every era, right?" Xu Si then laughed.
"Hey, why is there such a venue in the back mountain, and the atmosphere like an amusement park..." At this time, Zhang Chulan stared and looked at it.
It can be seen that the venue is already full of people at this time, and the surrounding auditorium is basically full. Everyone is talking to each other, and the scene is extremely lively.
"Yo! You all have access to everything! Baby Feng!"
At this time, a familiar voice sounded. Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao followed the sound and found that it was the Feng family siblings.
"Are you two the contestants who know everything this time?" Feng Xingtong took a closer look.
"Well, Sister Bao'er and I..." Zhang Chulan replied, "Why are you here too?"
"No need to ask, of course we are all candidates for election!"
Feng Shayan answered, then glanced at Feng Baobao, her eyes widened.
Since she had been at a disadvantage in several previous encounters, she was obviously quite dissatisfied, and suddenly became agitated, as if she wanted to save face in this conference.
At this moment……
"The contestants are here to gather!"
On the other side, a Taoist shouted, and everyone in the venue immediately looked over, and then moved their bodies, looking excited.
It can be seen that for this group of young people, even if they are not attracted by the "Tongtian Ru", this is still a rare opportunity. Being able to compete with masters among their peers will also be of great help to their own strength.
"Brother Xu Third, Brother Xu Fourth! I'll take Baobao and Chu Lan there first!" When Feng Xingtong saw this, he greeted Xu San and Xu Si, and then waved to the two of them.
"Haha! Don't worry about Chu Lan. Neither of us came here to be the Heavenly Master or the 'Tongtian Rui'. After all, my father has just become one of the Ten Men. We have to send disciples to support such a big event. ”
"You are the protagonist this time!"
Indeed, when Zhang Chulan arrived at the gathering place, he immediately felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he felt cold and stressed all over.
After arriving at the place, Feng Xingtong began to introduce him to the various people who came here. He knew them all by heart, which also proved the strength of the Tianxiahui intelligence network.
"Speaking of which, it is really difficult for you to stand out from the selection this time. There are many huge obstacles ahead, and each one is quite fierce..."
"Look at that one, that is Zhuge Qing, the descendant of Wu Hou, the pinnacle of the young generation of sorcerers, and that one, Zhang Lingyu, the high-level master of Tianshi Mansion, you should have seen him."
"Look at the four people gathered over there, Hong Bin, the 'little fire god' of Huode Sect, Fu Chen, the high-level master of Qingyang Palace, Tang Yingjie, the first in the inner sect of Tang Sect, and Xia Mingyu, the genius of this generation of Wu Nuo lineage. They are all companions who traveled with Youfang back then!"
"Youfang again?"
So far, Zhang Chulan has heard the name of Youfang more than once. Although he met him in Tianxiahui last time, he only shook hands and his strength remained in rumors.
"In your eyes, this Youfang feels like a legendary existence, not like a human being at all..." He couldn't help but complain.
"Haha, you are right about this. Since he defeated the old Tianshi more than four years ago, we really haven't seen him as a human being again!" Feng Xingtong laughed.
At this time...
"Huh?"
Zhang Lingyu, who was originally chatting with Zhuge Qing, suddenly moved his eyes and noticed Zhang Chulan, and then saw Zhang Chulan waving at him:
"Aha! Junior Master! We meet again!"
"Well, we meet again. The last time was not very pleasant. I apologize to you here. At that time, I was in a mess for some reasons. I hope you don't take it to heart."
Unlike before, Zhang Lingyu's mind is now clear and he no longer regards Zhang Chulan as a "demon in his heart", so he came over to apologize.
"Uh..."
This made Zhang Chulan feel confused. He scratched his head and grinned: "Haha, it's okay, it's all in the past."
The two of them continued to chat for a while, and the atmosphere was inevitably awkward. Fortunately, the old Taoist priest came on stage at this time, and the awkwardness finally ended.
"Everyone...wait for a long time."
Coming in front of everyone, the old Taoist priest opened the show directly, smiled at everyone, and his momentum was naturally released.
Originally, the opening was scheduled to be done by him and Wang Ai and several other members of the Ten Masters, but the old Taoist priest really looked down on them, so he simply didn't let them go on stage and let them say what they should say.
"Everyone knows that in addition to routine sacrifices, this Luotian Grand Ceremony has always been an opportunity for us Qi-refining people to communicate..."
"Of course, you are not here to sit down and discuss the mysteries of the Tao like the old men like me. I have also come from a young age, I understand..."
"So since everyone wants to learn from each other, I won't talk about it here, let's get started!"
It must be said that the old Tianshi really has no bad leadership habits. His speech is very concise and no nonsense. He opened the curtain for this grand event with just two sentences.
And then, a big red box was brought over. There was a square hole on the top of the box. A little Taoist raised his hand and said, "Please come forward one by one and draw your own slip."
Due to the large number of candidates for this conference, it is impossible to compete two by two as soon as they arrive. A group of people need to be screened out first, and the rules are set to be a group of four in the preliminary election.
Among them, the heavenly stems such as Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding represent the order of the matches, while the white tiger, green turtle, and flower deer represent the four groups of people who will compete in the same match. The four people who get the same animal in the same match will compete together.
At the same time, only one person in each group can enter the next round of selection.
A moment...
"B White Tiger..."
Looking at the note in his hand, Zhang Chulan muttered to himself, and then looked at Feng Xingtong and Feng Baobao. One of them is Bing Green Turtle and the other is Jia Flower Deer, and they are not in the same group.
On the other side...
"Hehe, it seems that Lao You doesn't plan to eliminate those difficult guys at the beginning."
Hong Bin and the other four also exchanged their draws and laughed. There was nothing worth paying attention to in their first match. They could easily win.
That's right, although You Fang planned to let Hong Bin and others be "scavengers" to help Zhang Chulan clear the obstacles, considering the viewing value of the competition and the face of those people, he still didn't make excessive arrangements in the first round.
The real cleanup was left by him for the subsequent one-on-one promotion match, which would ensure that each of Hong Bin and his team would face the corresponding opponent and be able to get all those guys off the stage.
After the draw, the competition officially began. Everyone went on stage in the order of appearance, and the competition began round by round.
Due to the special arrangement, there was really no eye-catching competition in the first round. If you have to say... it was only Zhang Chulan's match.
"I want to overthrow this sky!"
When the blood-curdling voice resounded throughout the venue, everyone was shocked. In this era, few people can still make such a shout, even in their hearts.
"Hehe..."
Seeing this scene, You Fang in the stands couldn't help but laugh. Zhang Chulan was indeed the same Zhang Chulan. Only this guy had the nerve to use this tactic.
"Don't insult me!"
"Don't insult the origin of Qi!"
Plop!
When Zhang Chulan sat cross-legged on the ground, the outcome of this competition was already determined, and the three opponents had fallen into the trap.
And when Zhang Chulan finally killed the last remaining opponent with a "ding ding bang bang", blue veins appeared on everyone's foreheads. They looked at Zhang Chulan no longer with the slightest appreciation, but only with contempt.
"I'm talking about Lao You, this guy is too despicable. Is he really a descendant of the Tianshi Mansion? Does the old Tianshi really want to pass on the position of Tianshi to him?" Next to You Fang, Hong Bin couldn't help but say, His face was speechless.
Not only him, but Xia Mingyu also felt the same. They all had the urge to rush up and beat people up. In their whole lives, they had never seen such a shameless person!
"Haha, Lao Fu, what do you think about this?"
Naturally, You Fang would not comment on this, so he turned to look at Fu Chen. He found that Fu Chen had no reaction.
"To overcome strength with softness, to subjugate the enemy's army without fighting, this benefactor should be able to achieve this result by integrating the yin and yang of my Taoism, the combination of hardness and softness." Fu Chen said with a smile.
"Well……"
Hearing what he said, Hong Bin and Xia Mingyu were stunned, and then looked at Tang Yingjie: "Yingjie, what do you think?"
"Me? No matter what method you use, it is a good method to defeat the enemy. It is normal for you to spurn him, but have you ever thought that if it were you, even if you left behind your shame and morality, you would be able to do what he did? What?" Tang Yingjie asked.
"hiss--"
"It seems to make sense!"
I have to say that Hong Bin and Xia Mingyu were really convinced by them. They were both smart people, but they were just angry for a moment.
"So, this Chu Lan is a very intelligent person, and his shamelessness is just an appearance?" Hong Bin said again.
"At least, that's what I think."
You Fang nodded.
"And you don't have to worry. You can't get to the back just by relying on this method. Even if you provide him with a recommendation, his own strength must be excellent."
"Well, that's true."
"The winner of the Yi White Tiger Group... Zhang Chulan!"
Afterwards, Zhang Chulan's game came to an end, and the competition continued one after another until the evening, when the first round was finally over.
After this first round of screening, three-quarters of the candidates have been eliminated. Each of the remaining candidates is not a simple character, and the follow-up will definitely be more exciting.
Soon, everyone left, went to the dining hall of Tianshi Mansion to have a light meal, and then took an early rest.
At the same time, a nickname gradually spread among the people. It was a new title that belonged exclusively to Zhang Chulan——
"Unshaking Lotus"!
