Although he had many questions in his heart, Xiao Lingyu still refused to speak, and continued to stare at the center of the stage with a dull expression.
At this time, the third round had already begun. Wang Tai and Hao Ren had both entered the stage. Their luck was average, and they didn't draw a Late Earth Demon expert, but their opponents weren't Early Earth Demon either. Both of them were Mid Earth Demon cultivators.
Their cultivations were much lower than their opponents, and both of them had just advanced to Early Earth Demon. They hadn't even begun to cultivate Earth Demon techniques and divine abilities. Xiao Lingyu had reason to believe that these two fellows wouldn't last more than three moves before being defeated.
"I don't know why you joined the East Pole Devil Sect, and why you accepted the Devil Sect's Soul Restriction, but you can't possibly hide your cultivation and stay in the East Pole Devil Sect for too long." Old Man Li seemed to kindly remind him.
"What if I'm exposed?" Xiao Lingyu asked indifferently.
"If you are exposed, no one will think that you have good intentions. They will only think that you have ulterior motives. At that time, you will have to face the encirclement of the True Demon Stage experts of the East Pole Demon Sect. Even if you have some divine ability and don't fear the True Demon Stage experts, don't forget that the East Pole Demon Sect still has a Spirit Demon." Old Man Li whispered.
"I should be the one worrying about this. Why are you reminding me?" Xiao Lingyu smiled and asked.
"If you can come to the Hall of Fame, I can help you hide for a bit longer, so you won't be exposed." Old Man Li said.
"If I really have bad intentions and you take me in, aren't you afraid of being implicated?" Xiao Lingyu asked noncommittally.
"If you're in the Hall of Fame, without my permission, you can't do anything big in the East Demon Sect." Old Man Li said confidently.
"If that's the case, won't I have to live under your surveillance?" Xiao Lingyu sneered.
"I have no intention of monitoring you. I'll only give you some pointers to prevent you from going astray. Also, I have something to tell you." Old Man Li shook his head and explained.
"If you have something to say, you can say it here. You don't have to go to the recording hall to say it, right?" Xiao Lingyu asked, unmoved.
The fight between Wang Tai and Hao Ren had come to a conclusion. However, Xiao Lingyu was surprised to see that both of them had been on the verge of defeat. But, both of them had turned defeat into victory at the same time. They had revealed their trump cards, and had sent their opponents off the stage. So, both of them had obtained victory.
"Things often go beyond one's expectations, haha." Old Man Li laughed as if judging.
"Being unexpected is not necessarily a good thing. I think everyone prefers to be able to control the overall situation and not want to complicate matters," Xiao Lingyu said meaningfully.
"I'll ask the Imperial Beast Hall for more people. If you don't want to come, then I won't be a busybody."
After saying this, Mr. Li stood up and left the arena not long after.
After Wang Tai and Hao Ren's victory, they both walked over to Xiao Lingyu. Although they had both been injured, they still had smiles on their faces.
"Congratulations, congratulations. I really didn't expect the two of you to be so fierce on the stage!" Xiao Lingyu pretended to congratulate them and praised them.
"Haha, our skills can't compare to yours. We were only able to win by pure luck," Hao Ren said with a smile.
"That big move you used just now, even if you met a late Earth Demon, you might still have a chance. Just based on that, it's very likely that you'll be valued by the experts of the Sect," Xiao Lingyu said truthfully.
"That's not necessarily true. Our opponents just now didn't know much about us and underestimated us. That's why we suddenly used a big move to ambush them. If our opponents had been more careful, it wouldn't have been so easy for us to win," Wang Tai said.
"Anyway, winning is always a good thing. Let's go back first," Xiao Lingyu said and led the two out of the arena.
When Xiao Lingyu arrived at the entrance of the arena, he met the woman surnamed Liu. He gave her a faint smile, but the woman's originally smiling face suddenly sank. She snorted and turned her head away, as if she didn't want to look at Xiao Lingyu any longer.
Xiao Lingyu shook his head with a wry smile and didn't greet her. He and the woman surnamed Liu had an agreement that they would act as if they didn't know each other when they met in the Sect. Neither of them could say anything about the other.
The schedule of the competition was very loose. It was to give the disciples who had just fought a chance to recover or fight again. There was still half a month before Hao Ren and Wang Tai's next fight.
After returning to the valley of the Imperial Beast Hall, the two humbly asked Xiao Lingyu for advice. They asked Xiao Lingyu to point out their flaws in the fight and give them advice.
Although Xiao Lingyu didn't understand the two's cultivation methods, after all, his realm was much higher than theirs. He could see a lot of things clearly. In addition, Xiao Lingyu himself had experienced countless battles. His fighting awareness was very high. Naturally, he could give a lot of useful advice to the two.
Hao Ren and Wang Tai were able to cultivate to the Great Ascension Stage in the Cultivation World. Naturally, they weren't stupid people. After listening to Xiao Lingyu's advice, they benefited a lot and immediately went into seclusion to meditate. They both felt that if they could understand Xiao Lingyu's words, even if their realm didn't improve, their fighting strength would improve a lot.
In fact, everyone knew that the competition between cultivators was nothing more than a competition of skills, realms, magical weapons, and cultivation methods. These could be regarded as hardware. Fighting awareness was how to use one's hardware, which was regarded as software. The final result of the fight depended not only on the hardware, but also on the software. Xiao Lingyu wouldn't help Hao Ren and Wang Tai improve their hardware, but he didn't mind helping them upgrade their software.
Wang Tai and Hao Ren's second fight hadn't started yet. The hunchbacked old man found Xiao Lingyu again and said that the steward of the Hall of Fame was inviting Xiao Lingyu again.
Xiao Lingyu had already thought about this problem, so he gave a straightforward reply of rejection.
The steward of the Hall of Fame was so attentive that Xiao Lingyu was very suspicious. He didn't want to stay with a person he didn't know the depth of.
Furthermore, the steward of the Hall of Fame obviously had a motive for inviting him over. He might even be scheming against Xiao Lingyu. Naturally, Xiao Lingyu wouldn't fall into a trap.
"Actually, the steward of the Hall of Fame has always been a good person. He often gives guidance to the disciples of the sect. If you go, he will certainly take care of you. Moreover, our Imperial Beast Hall isn't a good place. You won't have any future if you stay here … "
Xiao Lingyu didn't wait for the steward to finish speaking and said, "Sir, there's no need to persuade me. I want to stay in the Imperial Beast Hall. At least this place is quieter than other places."
The steward thought for a moment and could only sigh and leave.
Xiao Lingyu could guess that the old man surnamed Li in charge of the Hall of Fame must have given Xiao Lingyu a pass or given him some pressure. Otherwise, the steward of the Imperial Beast Hall wouldn't have persuaded him like that. After all, the hunchbacked old man was sincere in wanting Xiao Lingyu to stay.
Twenty days passed by in a hurry. Wang Tai and Hao Ren also welcomed their second match.
In the second match, Wang Tai and Hao Ren were lucky. Not only did they not encounter a late Earth Demon opponent, but they also faced early Earth Demon opponents.
Even late Earth Demon cultivators had to be careful when facing their big moves. Early Earth Demon cultivators couldn't resist at all. They won without any surprise.
After two eliminations, there were less than a hundred Earth Demon contestants left, and only twelve Heavenly Demon contestants were left.
It was still an elimination round. Most of the demonic cultivators' thoughts were straightforward and simple. They didn't have many tricks, and it was the same for organizing this kind of competition.
However, what made Hao Ren depressed was that his next opponent turned out to be Imperial Beast Hall's Miao Yan.
Hao Ren was not worried that he couldn't beat Miao Yan, but if he couldn't, it would be embarrassing. He didn't like to fight with villains.
But this matter couldn't be changed even if he didn't want to. He had to face it and strive to defeat his opponent.
But what made Xiao Lingyu want to laugh was that Fang Yu unexpectedly met Jiang Kui in the Heavenly Demon Realm's arrangement.
The arrangement chart was on a big bulletin board at the entrance of the arena. Many disciples of the Eastern Demon Sect were watching it. Xiao Lingyu also came here with Wang Tai and Hao Ren. After looking at it, Xiao Lingyu suddenly felt his shoulder sink.
He turned his head and found that it was Jiang Kui's hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, boy, did you participate in the competition?" Jiang Kui asked casually.
"No." Xiao Lingyu replied with a smile. Xiao Lingyu had a good impression of Jiang Kui.
"Why didn't you participate? Don't tell me you haven't reached the Earth Demon Realm! "Jiang Kui looked very disappointed.
"Hehe, let's not talk about me first. You have to face Fang Yu this time. Are you sure you can win?" Xiao Lingyu smiled and changed the topic.
"Fang Yu is a villain. Defeating him will be as easy as stepping on a mouse!" Jiang Kui said confidently.
Jiang Kui's temper was very straightforward. His voice was not soft. The bulletin board was only so big and Jiang Kui was so loud. Naturally, everyone heard him.
Fang Yu was also here. When he heard Jiang Kui's shout, he walked over with a gloomy face. Miao Yan also followed behind him.
"Senior Jiang, don't talk big too early. Although I call you Senior Jiang, it doesn't mean that you are much stronger than me." Fang Yu said with a straight face.
"What? You're not convinced? Then let's use strength to speak in the arena! "Jiang Kui said with a disdainful look.
"It's boring to compete. Why don't we add some stakes?" Fang Yu suggested.
"You want to bet? You want to bet something, right? Very well, tell me what you want to bet. No matter what you want to bet, I will accept it. "Jiang Kui said straightforwardly.
"I don't care about you. Let's bet with Magic Stones. Let's bet 100,000 Medium Magic Stones. How about it?" Fang Yu said with a confident look.
