"Bang!"
Miao Yan, who had just rushed to Xiao Lingyu's side, was kicked in the stomach by Xiao Lingyu, and his body flew out.
"Puff!" "Puff …"
Miao Yan spat out mouthfuls of blood, and his face was as pale as paper. He couldn't understand how the other party could attack so quickly when he had just ascended.
"Boy, I want you dead!"
Fang Yu was furious. His body suddenly jumped up, and while rushing toward Xiao Lingyu again, he opened his mouth and spat out a black light.
The black light expanded with the wind, and in a flash, it had turned into a black thorn.
"Impudent!"
The hunchbacked old man in charge had appeared out of nowhere. With a loud shout, he stood in front of Xiao Lingyu. With a wave of his sleeve, a powerful aura surged out. Not only did it sweep away the black thorn, but it also pushed Fang Yu a few feet away.
"This is the Imperial Beast Hall, not a battle arena. If you want to behave atrociously here, you have to ask for my permission first!" The old man in charge reprimanded with a dignified face.
"Senior Brother Zhang, why didn't you come out when he hit me just now?" Fang Yu asked angrily.
"If you didn't come looking for trouble, how could a mere Earth Demon disciple dare to attack you? If you don't accept it, you can go back and look for Martial Uncle Liu, or you can go directly to the Sect Master to reason. "The old man in charge snorted coldly.
Fang Yu's face became even uglier. He was in the Heavenly Demon Stage, and the other party was only in the Earth Demon Stage. With such a great disparity in strength, he was actually the one who was beaten. If he went to his master, he was afraid that he would be scolded. After all, this matter was very embarrassing for his master. If he went to the Sect Master, he was afraid that at this time, this matter would quickly spread throughout the Sect.
"No matter what, this matter happened in the Imperial Beast Hall, and he was the one who hurt me. Senior Brother Zhang, as the steward of the Imperial Beast Hall, you have the responsibility to give me an explanation." Fang Yu thought for a while and said hatefully.
The old steward smiled and said, "You were the one who provoked me first, and Xiao Lingyu hit me after that. This is the principle that two hands can't clap. However, even if you provoked her, as a fellow disciple, Xiao Lingyu should not have hurt you. If you insist on seeking an explanation from me, I can punish the person who did it. "
"Senior Brother Zhang, please give us justice!"
"My Lord, please punish Xiao Lingyu severely!"
Fang Yu and Miao Yan, who had just crawled up from the bed, spoke one after another.
"Alright!"
The hunchbacked old man also shouted. Then, he said to Xiao Lingyu in a seemingly just and dignified manner, "You're not allowed to go out for the next 500 years. You'll have to do the work of two people. Furthermore, all the magic crystals given by the sect will be deducted."
At this point, the hunchbacked old man paused and asked, "Do you have any objections to this punishment?"
Xiao Lingyu clenched her fists and said with a calm expression, "I have no objections."
In fact, in her heart, Xiao Lingyu was overjoyed because these punishments did not affect her at all. After all, this punishment was given by the hunchbacked old man. The hunchbacked old man could remove it at any time. As for the salary penalty, Xiao Lingyu did not care about the one low-grade magic stone that the East Pole Demon Sect gave every ten years.
"Junior Brother Fang, do you have any objections?" The hunchbacked old man asked Fang Yu again.
Fang Yu's expression changed again and again. In the end, he could only nod and leave. Even if he knew that the hunchbacked old man was helping Xiao Lingyu, he could not do anything. After all, this kind of shameful thing was really not suitable to be blown up.
Moreover, Fang Yu's heart was now very puzzled. The other party was only at the Earth Demon Stage. How could he slap me when I attacked first?
It was absolutely impossible for an Earth Demon Stage cultivator to have such fast speed! But he had clearly just ascended, hadn't he? Could it be that Jiang Kui cheated? This guy did not just ascend? Or did he ascend after going through the Nine Tribulations?
Fang Yu touched his swollen and painful cheek while thinking in his heart. Although he did not want to make a big deal out of this matter, he would definitely not let it go.
This time, he suffered a loss because he did not investigate the other party's background clearly and acted rashly. He absolutely could not suffer the same loss again. Therefore, he had to know more.
After Fang Yu and Miao Yan left, the hunchbacked old man said to Xiao Lingyu, "Fang Yu is not a magnanimous person. You have to be careful in the future. As for the punishment, it was just for show. You don't have to take it to heart."
"En."
Xiao Lingyu nodded softly. He did not take the matter just now to heart. Fang Yu and he were not at the same level at all. He would not care about what methods Fang Yu would use to retaliate in the future.
"Even his master could not do anything to me and was beaten up. Whatever he does is in vain." Xiao Lingyu disdainfully said in his heart.
"What do you think about the competition?" The hunchbacked old man suddenly asked.
The hunchbacked old man had previously doubted Xiao Lingyu's strength. When Xiao Lingyu came back safely from the woman surnamed Liu, his doubts became even stronger. Just now, he saw Xiao Lingyu slap Fang Yu's face with his own eyes. In his heart, he was almost certain that this guy's strength was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Even if he had really just ascended, he should have gone through the Nine Tribulations.
"I won't participate." Xiao Lingyu replied.
Hearing Xiao Lingyu's answer, the hunchbacked old man smiled slightly and did not ask any more questions. He only said, "It's good that you don't participate this time. There will be opportunities in the future."
In the next few months, Xiao Lingyu was very busy. However, he was not tired. Now, he was only responsible for more than 2,000 cubs. When he first arrived at the Imperial Beast Hall, he could feed more than 3,000 cubs at a time.
Besides, this was also a way to repay King Tai and Hao Ren. They had helped him, so he couldn't be too stingy. However, with his strength, he didn't need to be so stingy.
Xiao Lingyu was already very proficient in feeding the cubs. In the process of feeding, he could also divide his attention to comprehend the Devil Curse Technique. So, it wasn't a waste of time.
A few months passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, the day of the East Pole Devil Sect's elite disciple selection had arrived.
Although the East Pole Devil Sect was a third-rate sect, it could still be considered as a first-rate sect. The overall scale of the sect wasn't small. In particular, the number of Earth Devil and Heavenly Devil disciples was not small.
This time, more than 300 Earth Devil disciples had signed up for the competition. And, more than 40 Heavenly Devil disciples had signed up for the competition. With so many people fighting, it was bound to consume a lot of time. During this time, the East Pole Devil Sect would be very lively and many things would happen.
Xiao Lingyu didn't have much interest in joining in the fun. However, he had already promised King Tai and Hao Ren that he would watch the competition. At least, Xiao Lingyu wanted to see the competition between the two of them.
Xiao Lingyu wouldn't treat others half-heartedly if they were sincere to him. This was his principle in life.
There was a fighting arena in the center of the East Pole Devil Sect's encampment. It covered a large area. It looked more like a football field on Earth. However, this fighting arena was dozens of times bigger than a football field.
A slightly bigger football field on Earth could accommodate more than 50,000 people. But, this fighting arena could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. The entire East Pole Devil Sect only had a few thousand people. Therefore, even though most of the East Pole Devil Sect's cultivators had arrived at the fighting arena, it still looked very spacious.
The fighting arena was surrounded by grandstands. And, there was a large area in the center. It was divided into ten sections. So, twenty people could enter the arena in each round.
King Tai and Hao Ren were also very hardworking. Both of them had advanced to the initial stage of Earth Devil before the start of the competition. Moreover, both of them were arranged for the third round of the competition.
Xiao Lingyu arrived at the fighting arena after the start of the first round. He casually found an empty corner and stared at the center of the arena.
The first to fight were all disciples in the Earth Devil Realm. To Xiao Lingyu, their fight was no different from a fight between children. It was really boring. It was very difficult for a disciple to appear that could make his eyes light up. It was very boring to watch.
Before the third round began, a person walked over to them.
The person who came was the steward of the Hall of Fame that Xiao Lingyu had met when he first arrived at the East Pole Devil Sect. He was Old Man Li, who had been at the peak of the late stage of Heaven Devil Realm for many years.
"What is he doing here?" Seeing Old Man Li smile at him, Xiao Lingyu responded with a smile. He was puzzled.
At this time, Xiao Lingyu suddenly remembered that after he arrived at the Imperial Beast Hall, Old Man Li had intended to transfer him from the Imperial Beast Hall to the Hall of Fame. It was just that he didn't agree at the time.
In other words, this steward of the Hall of Fame had actually noticed him long ago. However, Xiao Lingyu couldn't be sure why he had noticed him, and what he had noticed about him.
"Greetings, Senior Li."
When Old Man Li stopped in front of him, Xiao Lingyu could only greet him. He felt that this old man wasn't simple, so he didn't want to neglect him.
"Haha, sit, sit. There's no need to be so polite." Old Man Li said with a smile. Then, he sat down in the seat next to Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu also sat down, but didn't speak first.
He didn't know the other party's background or intentions. It was best to speak less to avoid exposing himself.
In terms of vigilance, Xiao Lingyu, who had experienced many storms, was much stronger than ordinary cultivators.
"Brother Xiao, you didn't sign up for the selection this time, right?" Old Man Li asked after a moment of silence.
"No." Xiao Lingyu softly replied.
"With Brother Xiao's … aptitude, there's no need for you to participate in this kind of selection." Old Man Li said meaningfully.
Xiao Lingyu's heart skipped a beat. This Old Man Li really wasn't simple. He was afraid that Old Man Li had seen through his true cultivation. Although he was nervous, his expression didn't change as he replied, "Senior praises me too much."
In front of this kind of person, Xiao Lingyu knew that he had to speak less. No matter what Old Man Li said or what he saw, he had to continue pretending. Only then could he save himself some trouble.
"I like how careful you are. However, you've been in the East Pole Devil Sect for some time now. You've already revealed quite a bit. I'm afraid that it won't be long before you reveal even more."
After another moment of silence, Old Man Li suddenly said meaningfully.
