As if they had a telepathic connection, Yan Zhan raised his head and looked at Yang Li at the same time. A hint of surprise flashed through his indifferent eyes. He glanced at the other members of the Tenlan Sect, and his eyes became indifferent again. He took a step forward and looked at Yang Li. He said in a cold voice, "Yan Zhan."
Yan Zhan's behavior surprised the sect masters of both sides. They stopped chatting and looked at each other's disciples.
Since the other party had taken the initiative to show goodwill, Yang Li naturally wouldn't put on airs. However, he didn't break his own mentality either. He said in a voice as calm as water, "Yang Li."
Yan Zhan's neck moved slightly when he heard Yang Li's words, as if to express that he understood. However, he seemed to feel that his words were a little inappropriate, so he said, "You're not bad, just like that guy from the Green Flame Sect."
"I also think I'm not bad, but I don't think there's anyone else like me." Yang Li's voice was calm and filled with strong confidence. Bu Yuntian naturally knew Yang Li's personality.
However, Huo Poyun found it a little strange. He sent a sound transmission to Bu Yuntian and said, "Old Bu, let's not be polite in private. Tell me, what's your disciple's situation?"
Bu Yuntian looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile and said, "I can tell you everything, but you have to tell me too."
"Sure! You go first! "Huo Poyun agreed without hesitation." Great.
My disciple's name is Yang Li. He's seventeen this year and is the disciple of our third elder. He wasted five years of cultivation and is now at the seventh level of the Spirit Movement Realm. His cultivation increased in the past two years, and his actual combat strength is at the first level of the Spirit Movement Realm. We can't rule out the possibility that he has some trump cards, "said Bu Yuntian.
"Two years?! Your disciple is truly monstrous! " Huo Poyun was startled. The reason why cultivators below the Spirit Realm advanced slowly was because they didn't have a divine sense, so the speed at which they absorbed spirit energy was slower.
From the first level of Qi Accumulation to the ninth level of Spirit Movement Realm. Although it was only equivalent to the fifth level of Spirit Realm, it was common for genius Spirit Realm cultivators to increase their cultivation by three or even four levels in a year. However, that was because they had the help of divine sense, which was why they could increase so quickly.
Below the Spirit Realm, there was no divine sense. Being able to reach the ninth level of the Spirit Movement Realm in six years would be considered a genius. Being able to reach the ninth level of the Spirit Movement Realm in five years would be considered a decent genius. Being able to reach the fourth level in four years would be considered a true genius. Being able to reach the third level in three years would be considered a heaven's pride. Being able to reach the second level in two years would only be possible for monsters.
What about Yan Zhan? What's going on? "Bu Yuntian asked casually.
Huo Poyun was still thinking about Yang Li, so he casually said, "Yan Zhan was brought back by Elder Ding when he was traveling. He's also seventeen this year. I heard from Elder Ding that when he was brought back, Yan Zhan was being chased by someone."
"Elder Ding observed for a period of time and realized that although Yan Zhan was at the eighth level of the Spirit Movement Realm, his true combat strength was equivalent to the second level of the Spirit Movement Realm. He cherished his talent and saved him, then brought him back to the sect."
"Now that he's at the ninth level of the Spirit Movement Realm, his true combat strength is equivalent to the second level of the Spirit Movement Realm. However, Yan Zhan doesn't practice our sect's martial arts. I heard that he practices the martial arts passed down by his family, and from his situation, he doesn't seem to be someone from the Southern Fire Region. Therefore, we can't rule out the possibility that he has a stronger trump card."
Bu Yuntian frowned slightly and said, "Won't it be dangerous to accept such an unknown person into the sect?"
"You've also seen his apathetic temperament. After we nurture him, we don't need him to make any great contributions to the sect. It's enough as long as he helps the sect when it's in trouble," Huo Poyun said bitterly with a sigh after hearing these words.
The problem with the four sects being united was the lack of high-end combat strength. No matter which of the four sects had a high-end combat strength, the four sects would act as the center and fight against the two great sects together.
The two great sects' behavior was becoming more and more obvious recently. They were targeting the four sects and hunting down their cultivators. It was unknown how long it would take for Song He to grow to the Half Law Realm. They probably wouldn't make it in time, so they could only place their hopes on the Half Law Realm martial arts.
As for nurturing Yan Zhan, Huo Poyun also had a small plan in mind. With Yan Zhan's outstanding talent, his family must be extraordinary. If someone from his family came to the sect, the Huo Li Sect could also borrow his power to fight against the two great sects.
Bu Yuntian secretly rejoiced, "Fortunately, Yang Li was nurtured by the sect and is quite loyal to the sect. Moreover, he seems to have a complicated relationship with Wan Qing. Even if he leaves the sect in the future, he won't ignore the sect."
Within The Field, Yan Zhan's apathetic eyes flickered when he heard Yang Li's words, but his voice was still cold and hard as he said, "Perhaps." Then, he stopped talking and quietly stood behind Huo Poyun. He lowered his head and looked at the tips of his feet, no longer looking at the people Within The Field.
However, Yan Zhan's behavior did make the other disciples of the Tenlan Sect unhappy, especially Mo He and the other two. The way they looked at Yan Zhan had also become extremely unfriendly. They felt that they were being looked down upon, but they didn't dare to cause trouble in someone else's territory. They cursed inwardly, "Stop pretending! If I meet you in the tournament, I'll beat you until you're crippled! "
Of course, Yan Zhan couldn't hear their conversation. However, even if he did, his expression wouldn't change in the slightest. He would only find them laughable.
The others looked at Yan Zhan curiously. The three female disciples even whispered to each other, discussing why Yan Zhan was so apathetic. Was it because he was hurt by love, or because he was hurt by love? The three men beside them sighed and held their foreheads as they looked at the three female disciples with strange gazes.
Fortunately, the three female disciples' voices were rather soft, so Yan Zhan couldn't hear them. Otherwise, Yang Li really wanted to see what kind of expression Yan Zhan would have if he had heard their conversation.
The private conversation between Bu Yuntian and Huo Poyun also came to an end. Bu Yuntian led the group toward the sect's reception area. Allies were naturally treated as honored guests, so they were given the best rooms.
There were still two days left until the tournament. He had been cultivating hard in the sect for the past half a year. These last two days were also a good opportunity for him to relax and take a stroll around the Huo Li Sect. Su Wanqing and Yang Li walked together, chatting and laughing, which attracted the envy of the other male disciples.
The people of the Green Flame School had arrived a little earlier than the people of the Tenlan Sect. Naturally, Yang Li also saw the person who Yan Zhan said was similar to him.
This person was Xue Qinghan!
Xue Qinghan was the former sect master of the Snow Wind Sect. Later, when the sect was destroyed, his soul and divine sense were fused into the stone tablet and bound by layers of restrictions. Xue Qinghan's original intention was to let him see the consequences of offending him. Who would have thought that Xue Qinghan would actually find a way to break the restrictions! He even borrowed a body to be reborn while the Cloud Cloud Sect was heading toward the secret realm of the Snow Wind Sect!
However, there were certain limitations to being reborn in a body. Although Xue Qinghan had divine sense now, it was only equivalent to the first level of the Spirit Realm. At the same time, because the foundation of this body was too weak, he had spent the past half a year consolidating his foundation and getting rid of some impurities and pill toxins in his body, so that his combat strength could reach the first level of the Spirit Realm.
On the other hand, Xue Qinghan hated evil and was very kind. Even eighty thousand years of loneliness couldn't change his heart. However, it was also thanks to his strong mind.
After being reborn, Xue Qinghan wandered around the South Fire Region, killing many bandits and horse thieves. He obtained a lot of spirit stones and finally bought some medicinal ingredients. With a pill recipe that he had obtained by chance, he refined a pill and changed his appearance to that of when he was young.
At this time, his foundation was completely consolidated. As the former sect master of a sect, he naturally knew how important a sect or family was to a person. It just so happened that he was near the Green Flame School at that time, so he directly joined the Green Flame School and became a personal disciple.
However, he was only doing this for the cultivation resources of the Green Flame School. As for how to cultivate, as a former Half-Dharma Realm cultivator, he naturally didn't need a Harmonious Soul cultivator to teach him.
This time, he came to participate in the Four Sects Grand Competition with the intention of using the resources of the sect. Originally, Xue Qinghan was very confident, but after seeing Yan Zhan and Yang Li, he immediately felt a lot of pressure.
Putting Yan Zhan aside, he had personally seen how abnormal Yang Li was. Not only did his combat strength make him not confident that he could win against Yang Li, but he also felt a little grateful towards Yang Li.
On the other hand, he also felt some gratitude towards Yang Li. After all, Yang Li had helped him bury the corpses of quite a few Snow Wind Sect disciples. Just this kindness alone made it hard for him to defeat Yang Li with a clear conscience.
After seeing Xue Qinghan, Yang Li also felt a sense of crisis. However, Xue Qinghan's personality wasn't as indifferent as Yan Zhan's. He seemed to be a little more enthusiastic towards Yang Li and chatted more with him.
This made Yang Li feel very interested. One had the surname Yan, but was extremely indifferent, while the other had the surname Xue, but was slightly more enthusiastic. Yang Li couldn't help but think that the two of them should change their surnames, so that it would suit their temperaments better.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. The night before the grand competition began, Yang Li's residence.
"Yang Li, it'd be best if you can become the champion in this competition, but it's fine if you can't. Don't be too competitive and put yourself in danger." After seeing Yan Zhan and Xue Qinghan, Bu Yuntian learned about their combat strength through the Sect Leaders of both sides. Worry also rose in his heart.
Hearing Bu Yuntian's concern, Yang Li felt a faint warmth in his heart. However, he was never the kind of person who would get cold feet. With a calm expression, he slowly said, "Don't worry, Sect Leader. I know what I'm doing."
Looking at Yang Li's expression, Bu Yuntian knew that Yang Li didn't take his words to heart. He sighed and said, "I hope you really know what you're doing."
Immediately after, Bu Yuntian told Yang Li what the two Sect Leaders had told him. However, because Yan Zhan and Xue Qinghan's origins were extremely mysterious, the three Sect Leaders didn't know much about them. They couldn't tell too much useful information to Yang Li, so they only told Yang Li to take precautions.
After talking for a full hour, Bu Yuntian sighed and left, feeling extremely helpless. The hope of winning the grand competition was really too slim.
After sending Bu Yuntian out, Yang Li looked at Bu Yuntian's back and thought to himself, 'Sect Leader, if I, Yang Li, can't even become the champion, then what virtue do I, Yang Li, have to deserve such preferential treatment from the Sect!'
"The champion of this grand competition is mine!"
