Chapter 24: The Engagement Begins

Time flies, from the inner sect assessment to the present, a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Yan has gained a lot in this month. Not only has he learned Qingyuan Sword Art and Qingyun Step, but his cultivation has also reached the realm of the sixth level of congenital. For the upcoming competition, Zhang Yan is full of confidence.

Fatty came to Zhang Yan early in the morning, and the two came to the competition field together.

Although it is still early in the Qingyuanzong martial arts competition field, the entire competition field is already full of people, and everyone is talking about today's competition with great interest, but most people are optimistic about Long Yu.

Fatty said to Zhang Yan: "This competition has attracted the attention of many people, even the elders will come to watch this competition."

"The elders will also come to watch the battle?" Zhang Yan asked very puzzled: "This is just an ordinary competition between two inner disciples, how could there be elders from the sect to watch the battle? They think highly of us too Alright."

The fat man smiled mysteriously, "You don't know that, who told you that you only know how to practice and don't know anything about the outside world at all, let me tell you that Long Yu is the grandson of the elder of Qingyuanzong, plus you The first place in the inner sect assessment, you said that the competition between you can not be taken seriously?"

"Grandson of the Great Elder?" Zhang Yan didn't expect Long Yu to have such an identity. No wonder he was so arrogant when he was in the outer door. No wonder the attitude of the Great Elder to him was so cold on the day of the assessment. It turned out that the reason was all here. He stole the limelight from the Grand Elder's grandson, so it's no wonder he was happy.

"And you don't know, these past few days the Great Elder has deliberately found someone to publicize the battle between you, and now no one in the entire Qingyuan Sect is unaware of the competition between you, not only that, it is said that someone even set up a special gambling game , Who will win between you and Long Yu?"

"Oh? Is there anyone else setting up a gambling game?" Zhang Yan asked with great interest, "Then what about my odds? Is it lower than Long Yu's?"

The fat man shook his head when he heard the words, "You pay ten for one, and Long Yu pays two for one."

"What? My odds are so high," Zhang Yan couldn't believe it, but after thinking about it, he thought it was right. After all, Long Yu is the grandson of the Great Elder, and he is stronger than himself in terms of background and resources. It was too much, but Zhang Yan still sneered, and said firmly: "It seems that everyone thinks that I will definitely lose, but I'm afraid I will disappoint you. I will definitely win this competition."

Zhang Yan patted Fatty on the shoulder, "I think you are such a shrewd person who knows how to do business, you should have made a bet long ago, right?"

The fat man smiled and nodded and said, "That's right, how could I let go of such a good opportunity to make money? I sold all my wealth, and all the spirit stones I bought were on you. There are a thousand low-grade spirit stones, boss, you must win."

"One thousand low-grade spirit stones?" Zhang Yan didn't expect Fatty to be so rich. One thousand low-grade spirit stones can buy a cloud spirit grass to practice. Have you sold your cloud spirit grass?"

The fat man nodded and said: "Indeed, I used five of the ten cloud spirit grasses that were rewarded to me when I was promoted to the inner sect, and there are five left. To be conservative, I only sold one cloud spirit grass. For training."

Zhang Yan rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and patted the fat man's shoulder, "Believe me, you can press all the remaining four cloud spirit grasses in, and I will definitely win this competition."

"Okay, I'll go now," the fat man left immediately after hearing the words, and ran back with a smile after a while, "I've invested all my wealth in it, and this time it's up to you."

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I just don't have any money, or else I'll press it all in."

Zhang Yan was talking even fatter. The stands around the competition stage were full of people. On one side was a group of elders headed by the Grand Elder. Most of these people were invited by the Grand Elder to support the competition. Several elders came here because of their reputation. They wanted to see how strong Zhang Yan was who had passed the eighth floor. On the other side were some inner disciples who were more powerful and famous. They came to see the excitement. I want to see who is so ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth, who dares to oppose the Great Elder.

The rest of the disciples with insufficient status could only gather around the competition platform to watch the competition.

When everyone arrived, Long Yu jumped onto the stage and shouted to Zhang Yan who was in the audience: "Zhang Yan, since you are here, hurry up and compete, I don't want to waste time on you. "

Zhang Yan smiled when he heard the words, and jumped out of the Qingyun step. His whole body was as light as a swallow, as if he flew directly onto the martial arts arena, and landed gently on the martial arts arena. He said with a smile: "I don't want to be on your body either!" Waste of time, after all, you are no match for me now."

Zhang Yan's movements caught the eyes of everyone present, and the elders in the stands recognized Zhang Yan's movement skills, "This kid's movement technique just now is Qingyun Step? How can he practice as a disciple who has just entered the inner sect for a month?" To this level?"

"Yeah, judging by his actions just now, his Qingyun step has been perfected, and he is close to mastering it."

"I didn't expect this kid Zhang Yan to have such a good understanding."

The Great Elder frowned, feeling a little worried in his heart. Judging by this kid's body skills, Qingyunbu has indeed achieved a little success. In this way, it may be difficult for Long Yu to deal with him.

Although the Great Elder was a little worried about Long Yu, he still didn't take Zhang Yan seriously. After all, Long Yu had something he had given him. Even if Zhang Yan's body skills were more outstanding, it would only make Long Yu a little bit harder. That's all, it's impossible to win Long Yu.

What's more, Long Yu's Vigorous Vajra Palm, under his personal guidance for this month, has already been used freely and is about to become a great success. A thousand-jin boulder can be crushed into powder by palming it down, let alone an inner sect disciple with a fifth-fold innate talent?

The Great Elder snorted and said: "Although this kid has some strength, he is still far behind Long Yu."

The elders on the side also echoed the words: "Elder Long is right. After all, Long Yu was trained by you personally. His strength must be much stronger than this Zhang Yan. There is no comparison between the two of them."

On the contrary, one elder did not speak. He cleared his throat and said, "I don't think so. I think this Zhang Yan is interesting. Maybe he can really beat Long Yu. After all, he is the only disciple of our Qingyuan Sect who has passed the eighth floor, and this alone is much better than Long Yu."

"Elder Qin is right. This Zhang Yan must be very talented," the elders beside him nodded in praise without a stand.

The Great Elder frowned, this Elder Qin always opposed him on weekdays, and now he came to refute himself, he couldn't help but said angrily: "So you are very optimistic about this Zhang Yan?"

Elder Qin stroked his beard, and said with a smile on his face: "Let's not say whether you like it or not. After all, we still have a lot of talented disciples in Qingyuanzong, but today's competition, I think Zhang Yan will definitely win."

"Of course, I'm not targeting you. I'm just based on my judgment on Zhang Yan. I don't think this kid is simple," Elder Qin explained with a smile when he saw that the First Elder's face was not looking good.

The Great Elder laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Okay, since you are so optimistic about Zhang Yan, how about we make a bet? Just bet on who will win today?"

"I don't know what the bet is?" Elder Qin asked with a smile.

The Great Elder seemed to have premeditated it, and said with a smile: "Elder Qin's alchemy is a masterpiece. If Long Yu wins, you can personally help me refine a elixir. Of course, I will provide the materials. What do you think?"

"What if Zhang Yan wins?"

"If Zhang Yan wins, I have a Ten Thousand Years Blood Ginseng and I will give it to you as a bet."

"Thousand-year blood ginseng?" Elder Qin was also very interested when he heard the words. For alchemists, there is nothing more attractive than elixir, and this ten-thousand-year blood ginseng is a very rare elixir. The elixir, whether taken directly, is a great tonic for warriors, and it is invaluable.

Elder Qin was very moved, but in order to ensure that there would be no mistakes, he asked again, "Are you sure you want to bet the Wannian blood ginseng? Are you willing?"

"Of course, all the elders are witnesses. Is it possible that I will play tricks?" The Great Elder said with a smile.

Elder Qin said with a smile: "Since I say so, I promise you."

The Great Elder said in his heart that this old guy finally took the bait. As the number one pharmacist of Qingyuanzong, it would cost him a lot of money to ask him to make a move. To make him agree to the bet made the Great Elder very happy. In his opinion, it is impossible for Long Yu to lose. He can invite him out of the mountain without spending anything, and he has made a lot of money in this gamble.

The Great Elder was afraid that Elder Qin would go back on his word, so he quickly waved his hand to signal the referee standing on the stage and said, "Okay, let's start the competition quickly."

The referee on the competition stage quickly said: "Tap as far as you can, don't hurt your life, the competition has officially begun."

Long Yu said proudly: "Last time you were lucky enough to draw with me. This time I will not show mercy. I will let everyone know that I, Long Yu, are much stronger than you, Zhang Yan."

"Really?" Zhang Yan said disdainfully: "If you hadn't practiced martial arts in advance because you were the grandson of the Great Elder last time, do you think you would be my opponent?"

"This time I also got martial arts, you are no longer my opponent."

Long Yu said angrily, "Boy, how dare you underestimate me? I will make you pay the price," as he spoke, his spiritual power fluctuated wildly, and his aura reached its peak in an instant, and he slapped him with all his strength , and patted Zhang Yan's chest.
