Chapter 134 - 134: The First Round
When did Senior Brother Luo Ming reach the golden core realm? What kind of bullsh*t ranking is this? This is simply nonsense!
Li Ming simply ignored those rankings. His purpose for coming out today was very clear.
In the trading area, Fu Dong looked at Li Ming in surprise, but he quickly welcomed him warmly. “Brother Ming, what brings you here? Aren’t you participating in the Sword -Testing Conference?” However, his triangular eyes could not hide his smile.
When Li Ming saw Fu Dong’s face, he instantly grew furious and shouted angrily, “What? Is there a problem?”
“No, no, no!” Fu Dong waved his hand and said with a fawning expression, “Brother Ming, no one can compare to you. If you want for someone’s legs to break, then their legs will break.”
“Alright, alright!” Fu Dong’s words made Li Ming feel a little guilty. He then asked, “Are all of you done with the preparations?”
Fu Dong grinned as he took out a jade slip and stuffed it into Li Ming’s hand. “Ever since your opponent appeared, I’ve been looking for him! These are all the records of An Yang’s previous battles, and some of them had been collected through other means.”
Li Ming’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that the price he had to pay for such a small jade slip was definitely not small. An Yang was the enemy Li Ming was going to be facing soon. He had asked Fu Dong to help him investigate him.
Even though Senior Sister Li Fengying was also very hardworking, she usually just ran the shop. In this area, her connections were far inferior to someone like Fu Dong.
Li Ming stuffed a bag into Fu Dong’s hand.
As soon as Fu Dong held the bag in his hand, he immediately understood the number of spirit crystals inside. However, he did not show any joy. Instead, he stared at Li Ming expressionlessly and said, “What is this?”
Li Ming shook his head. “This isn’t for you. It’s for you to use to gather information. I’ll be depending on you for the information on my next opponent!”
Fu Dong’s expression lit up, and he laughed loudly. “That’s good. I’ve placed a big bet on you. I hope you won’t let me lose all my money!”
“Oh, I hope I can win!” Li Ming shrugged.
The other party was a golden core cultivator. The difference between him and his opponent was huge. He honestly did not have much confidence.
He only wanted to do his best. He really could not resist the allure of basic formation jade slip from Kunlun.
His cultivation base was the lowest among those participating in this Sword -Testing Conference, so he was naturally not favored. That was why he was arranged to be in the first round.
If he lost the first battle, it would be a real humiliation! He would definitely not have a good ending once he got back!
Li Ming cursed the person who arranged this match countless times in his heart.
In the main hall.
Yang Li’s face revealed a strange expression. “It’s actually Little Ming who’s going first.”
Pei Xuan laughed lightly. “This must be the doing of the Departing Moon Sect.
They probably want Little Ming to lose face. I mean, it’s understandable.”
“Understandable your sister! How dare they make things difficult for my disciple? You’re courting death! I haven’t yet used my Myriad Flowers Hundred Poisons…
The other three elders were all at a loss. They hurriedly stopped Shi Fengrong, who was about to go crazy, and tried to persuade her to calm down.
“It’s fine. Little Ming is very cunning. He’s definitely not going to just let himself be played with like this,” said Pei Xuan. “The main objective for him even participating this time is for him to gain experience. As for face, we don’t really care about that.”
Yang Li laughed at the side, Shi Fengrong angrily sat down, and Xu Shan’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
Yang Li said, “Luo Ming actually entered the golden core realm so quickly. It seems that his battle with Little Ming benefited him greatly.”
“Luo Ming’s aptitude is not bad, but his past personality made it difficult for him to take a step forward.” Pei Xuan nodded, but the joy in his voice was apparent.
Shi Fengrong’s gaze swept the surroundings and suddenly frowned, “Where’s Li Zhengxuan?”
At a patch of wasteland.
Li Zhengxuan was facing a man in white.
“Who exactly are you? Why did you come to my Divine Will Sect?” Li Zhengxuan said in a deep voice. He was ready to unsheate his Splitting Rainbow Sword at any moment.
He did not know where this person came from, but he had sneaked into the Divine Will Sect and was accidentally discovered by him.
The other party’s cultivation was higher than his. He had just walked out of the sword formation. After a long battle, coupled with the breakthrough of the golden core realm, it was the time when his spiritual power was at its best and his spiritual sense was at its sharpest.
If it was under normal circumstances, he would definitely not be able to see through the other party’s depth. However, the other party’s strength shocked him greatly!
This chase lasted over 150 kilometers. He had nearly lost track of the other party several times.
What made him feel that something was wrong was that the other party did not seem to have used their full strength.
However, Li Zhengxuan was brave by nature. Although he knew the strength of the other party, he did not retreat at all. The fighting spirit in his eyes burned fiercely!
“I’ve long heard that when Young Master Li was in the foundation establishment realm, there was a phenomenon of heaven and earth. Now that I’ve met you, I must say that you live up to your fame. You seem to have gained a lot of benefits from this trip to the sword cave. Your sect’s [Divine Will Sword] has finally come into being. It’s really a great fortune.”His voice was gentle, like a clear spring. Coupled with his handsome appearance, he was like a graceful young master, making it difficult for people to dislike him.
Li Zhengxuan was even more cautious. Other than his fellow disciples, no one knew that he had entered the sword cave, but this person seemed to know it all too well.
If he was not sure if this person had been acting with intention or not before, then now, he could be certain that this person was secretly investigating the sect’s information with ulterior motives.
“Since you don’t want to report your name, then I have nothing more to say to you.” The Splitting Rainbow Sword appeared in his hand, and the tip of the sword instantly pointed at the white-robed man.
The white-robed man felt his vision turn black as if he plunged into the void.
It was empty and cold.
The white-robed young man’s eyes flashed as he praised, “Young Master Li, you are truly talented. This [Divine Will Sword] will definitely shine in your hands!”
As he spoke, he slowly disappeared. The moment he said the word “hands,” his figure had completely disappeared. Only his voice continued to echo in the air.
Li Zhengxuan could no longer hide the shock in his eyes!
Despite having been under the pressure of his sword intent, the other party actually managed to disappear without leaving a single trace behind! He pondered for a moment, then stepped on the Splitting Rainbow Sword and transformed into a long rainbow, rushing straight toward the Divine Will Sect When his figure disappeared on the horizon, a figure slowly reappeared.
“So?” He looked at the sky and pondered for a moment.
Sky Moon Residence was one of the best places in the entirety of Dongfu. It was located halfway up the mountain and was built along a spirit vein. It had a total of 47 cave abodes.
There were all kinds of common magical treasures here and the spiritual qi was abundant. The cultivators who came and went all liked to rest here. However, the price was not cheap either. It cost ten third-stage spirit crystals a day to stay here.
Although Li Ming had earned a lot of money now, if he were to live in Sky Moon Residence, the daily rent would make his heart bleed, not to mention its other services.
The rooms in the Sky Moon Residence, which was originally only at 50% capacity, were now overbooked. Because of this, the daily rent had even increased from 10 third-stage spirit crystals to 50 third-stage spirit crystals..
