Chapter 52 Sunset

Don't blame him for not believing it.

This guy was defeated by Xu Xiaoshou when he was in the top 32. He had given up hope long ago, but he didn't expect that he could still enter the inner courtyard.

The audience applauded one after another, some were envious, some were jealous, but most of them were curious...

Anyone who has reached the top 32 in the "Winner Ranking" can enter the inner courtyard. Could it be that the threshold has been lowered this time?

Xiao Qixiu continued: "The number two in the inner courtyard is Chao Qingteng!"

Even though Chao Qingteng, who was usually extremely cold and aloof, could not help but curl up the corner of his mouth at this moment, he couldn't help but dig at the lines on the Glacier Sword's guard with his fingers.

"The second one..."

The audience clenched their fists, a record was broken!

"The number three in the inner courtyard is Mu Zixi!"

"There are four places in the inner courtyard, Mo Mo!"

Xiao Qixiu said two names one after another, causing a commotion.

Mu Zixi grabbed her twin ponytails, her little face couldn't stop being excited, and she jumped for joy.

Mo Mo still held the small copper stove with an expressionless face, but took a deep breath of the scent of red sandalwood.

"awesome!"

The audience was extremely excited, as if the person whose name was being read was their own.

Suddenly, someone wondered: "It seems that the people whose names are mentioned are all innately cultivated..."

Everyone was stunned and found that this was indeed the case.

Even Zhou Tiancan, who was outside the top 32, broke through his talent in a battle with Xu Xiaoshou and got a place in the inner courtyard.

"In previous years, it seemed that only the innate could enter the inner courtyard!"

"In this case, Xu Xiaoshou must be stable. He has an innate physical body..."

"Not necessarily!" someone interrupted.

"The innate physical body has reached its end, and it is difficult to improve it. Moreover, his cultivation level is only at the eighth level..."

Everyone became nervous, because it was true that it was almost unheard of for an innate physical body to break through to the master level.

There is no other reason than that it is too difficult to practice and it is impossible to succeed!

This is an unwritten law that applies not only to Tiansang Ling Palace, but also to the entire Holy God Continent.

Everyone's eyes suddenly fixed on Xu Xiaoshou. They never thought that in the end, this champion would be the one that everyone worried about the most.

Will he be made an exception and be specially recruited into the inner courtyard with his cultivation level in the future?

Will it be unprecedented that the number of seats in the inner court this term will be as high as five?

Everyone's hearts are high.

Xu Xiaoshou was startled by their looks. The next second, he was happy.

"Being expected, passive value, +2130."

He breathed a sigh of relief as if it didn't matter. Although he had won the championship, he was still a little nervous.

Xiao Qixiu looked away from the paper, folded it and stuffed it into his arms, with an indifferent expression, "No, just four."

"Under suspicion, passive value, +1869."

"Under suspicion, passive value, +1511."

"Under suspicion, passive value, +1042."

"..."

The information bar flashed across the screen like crazy. Xu Xiaoshou was stunned for a moment, right?

Although he acted like he didn't care, he won the championship after all. Even if he didn't say it, deep down he felt that he was sure to win. As a result...

Gone?

The rest of the people on the podium were also stunned, and the smiles of the three guys who had just won the places suddenly froze.

They didn't admit it on the surface, but they were really convinced by Xu Xiaoshou. As a result...

"???"

The audience was not so polite anymore, they all exploded with anger.

"No more? Only four places? Are you kidding me?"

"Xu Xiaoshou has already won the championship! Although he is very funny, please don't make jokes at this critical moment, okay?"

"It's simply ironic. The champion doesn't have a spot in the inner court. The top thirty-two... well, let me go and let me speak!"

"You are sick, Zhou Tiancan is behind you!"

"..."

Zhou Tiancan was furious, and he stood up suddenly: "If this is the verdict, I, Zhou Tiancan, don't need this quota in the inner court!"

His eyes were fixed on Xiao Qixiu, without any fear!

"That's good, so do I!"

"You don't have a spot!"

"you shut up!"

"..."

Xiao Qixiu's words were like a fire, burning the auditorium directly.

He did not respond to everyone's protests. Instead, he turned around and walked to Xu Xiaoshou, staring at him silently.

This guy is still pretending to be calm as before, but...

With his experience, how could he not see the hidden bitterness on this boy's face?

He is only an eighteen-year-old boy!

"Huh..." Xiao Qixiu took a deep breath.

Xu Xiaoshou took two steps back and covered his nose with his hand.

Xiao Qixiu: "..."

Damn it!

This kid is really poisonous. Fortunately, he had sympathy for this guy just now!

Xiao Qixiu didn't dare to exhale. He took a deep breath and patted Xu Xiaoshou on the shoulder: "You can stay in the outer courtyard for another year and strive to break through the innateness as soon as possible."

Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.

He almost forgot that if he could not enter the inner courtyard within three years, or if he ranked last in the "Wind and Cloud Contest" continuously, he would be kicked out of the Spiritual Palace directly.

In other words, someone has already fought for him?

Maybe it’s this middle-aged man, maybe it’s...

Elder Qiao?

He looked toward the audience.

Elder Qiao was one of the few who was still sitting there quietly. He said nothing and just nodded.

"Being encouraged, passive value, +1."

Xu Xiaoshou felt warm in his heart.

Loss and disappointment are definitely there!

But he didn't like others to comfort him, so when he saw Xiao Qixiu's affectionate look, he couldn't help it.

But at this moment, he was really moved.

"Thank you!" Xu Xiaoshou said sincerely.

Xiao Qixiu shook his head and smiled: "Just don't make me angry all the time, I can't bear the thank you!"

He didn't know why, even though he was a junior, he could be irritated by his antics again and again.

And when talking to him, he would unconsciously put down his airs.

Well, maybe Lao Qiao felt the same way!

Xu Xiaoshou secretly curled his lips and said nothing.

Xiao Qixiu turned his head and said loudly: "This 'Wind and Cloud Battle' ends here!"

"Disband!"

Everyone was upset, but they couldn't resist.

They witnessed the birth of the dark horse and thought it was the most exciting ending, but the ending of the story is always unexpected.

A champion can't even enter the inner courtyard!

If he was an ordinary champion, it would be fine, but Xu Xiaoshou, how many innates did he defeat in a row!

Is this strength and qualification really not worth Linggong making an exception?

"Come on! Xu Xiaoshou!"

Many people still did not leave, and spontaneously encouraged Xu Xiaoshou, and this cheering soon swept the whole venue.

"Xu Xiaoshou, you are the fattest, I love you forever!"

"Xu Xiaoshou, hold on!"

"..."

"Encouraged, passive value, +663."

"Encouraged, passive value, +414."

"Encouraged, passive value, +520."

"..."

Looking at this crowd dancing for him, Xu Xiaoshou was moved again.

Especially the sentence "Xu Xiaoshou, hold on"...

He vaguely remembered that this sentence was born when he pretended to be beaten by forty or fifty people in the group stage.

"Thank you!" He said silently in his heart.

The sun sets in the west, and the crowd will eventually disperse.

Xu Xiaoshou smiled and responded to many people who came to encourage him, some of whom he knew and some of whom he didn't know...

"Disappointed?" Elder Qiao came over.

"Yeah,"

"A big disappointment."

Xu Xiaoshou looked at the sunset, and Elder Qiao looked at him.

This guy...

He smiled and told so many people that it was okay, but he was not polite to himself at all!

"Life is like this, with ups and downs."

"Yeah." Xu Xiaoshou tilted his head, as if thinking of something, "There are also ups and downs, as long as you are lucky..."

"You are optimistic!" Elder Qiao shook his head, took out two bottles of pills and handed them to him, and walked towards the sunset.

"Come on."

"Let those old immortals who stick to the rules know that they are wrong."

Xu Xiaoshou was slightly stunned. This sentence contained a lot of information...

He lowered his head and looked at the two bottles of pills in his hand.

A bottle of refining pills.

A bottle of red gold pills.

The sunset, Elder Qiao, pills again...

Xu Xiaoshou smiled slightly. This scene seemed familiar, but something was missing...

He took out a refining pill and took a deep breath.

"Hiss!"

The setting sun seemed to be shaking, and even the shadows were trembling.
