Chapter 698

"He's ranked tenth in the Cultivation Treatise. Even if he gets first in the second segment, it doesn't seem to matter." Yuan Fushun frowned. "That's equivalent to failing the roll. But I don't think he's the type to give up just because he failed the roll. "

The crowd only dared to observe from a distance of several zhang. This was because if they neared, they would be stared at by Yan Li. Then their scalps would go numb, and their bodies would feel like they were being stabbed by tens of thousands of invisible flying swords. It was very uncomfortable.

"Not everyone can handle pressure well," Lu Hanqing said in a muffled voice. Lu Hanqing still said in a muffled voice, "Yan Li is not bad, but he is also a human. There will be times when he collapses under pressure. But I don't know why his real name has changed like this. "

"What is his real name?" Huang Shaoyu could not help but ask.

Yuan Fushun shook his head. "It's hard to say."

......

Even when the moon was high in the sky, Yan Li was still sitting motionless.

The crowd had been worried at the start, but now they could not help but yawn.

"I thought he was going to make a big scene." Huang Shaoyu stretched lazily. "Call me if there's anything. Give me a room. I'll stay here tonight."

Ji Hyun-woon called a servant over. "You all go rest. I'll keep watch here. If there's anything, I'll call you."

The crowd nodded and dispersed.

Ji Hyun-woon observed for a while. After confirming that there were no abnormalities, he sat down cross-legged and meditated.

The entire yard fell silent. Only the rustling of leaves in the night breeze could be heard.

Yan Li seemed to be meditating peacefully, but in fact, he had been wrestling with the curse for the whole night. The disorder of his mind gave the curse an opportunity to take advantage of the accumulated anger in his heart to worsen his injury and take advantage of the opportunity to take over his body. Fortunately, he had guarded his mind at the critical moment. Otherwise, the world would have been in chaos.

The night was as cold as water. His mind gradually calmed down, and his body felt especially cold, as though he was immersed in an icy lake.

Compared to the Divine Continent, the Jambu Realm was really too big, so big that he could no longer move easily.

Ever since he came to Tianjing, he had suffered setbacks along the way. Although he and Yan Shiyi had killed Liang Wen, suppressed Confucian orthodoxy disciple Liu Xiangxiu, and defeated Xia Wanli, trouble came one after another.

The invisible pressure from all sides always trampled on his nature at the crucial moment. For example, he won a bet but the other party refused to honor it because of the power of the Taoist orthodoxy. For example, Ji Wuji's unpredictable attitude at the birthday banquet. For example, Ji Wuyu made things difficult for him after he proved his "innocence". For example, Ji Wuji's judgment after he defeated Xia Wanli.

He felt that his ranking wouldn't be lower than the fifth place. Even if he used his knees to think, he would know that this was the Five Elements Court's revenge against him.

In his opinion, he was just a gambler who could not afford to lose.

If he was just stripped of the examination qualification, he still had a chance to escape. But now, all his opponents were watching him make a fool of himself and waiting for the moment to hit him when he was down.

All these thoughts were the source of his unhappiness, the reason why he felt uneasy about his future like never before.

The anger in his heart would not disappear for no reason, but it could be transformed into something else, and that was killing intent!

A strong killing intent needed to be released.

How to release it?

Killing was just a method.

A more effective release was to trample all his opponents under his feet.

How could he trample all his opponents under his feet?

Then it was nothing more than to break out of the trap that trapped him.

How could he break out of the trap?

It was nothing more than to destroy what his enemies hoped for.

What did his enemies hope for?

Naturally, it was to let him fall out of the list.

Therefore, he could break out of the trap by getting into the list.

How could he get in?

Thinking of this, he slowly opened his eyes. Coincidentally, Ji Hyun-woon also woke up from his meditation. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Ji Hyun-woon looked away first. "Feeling better? I like to cultivate here, not because I'm worried about you. "

"Mm." Yan Li felt warmth in his heart. "Thank you."

"I already said that I'm not worried about you. Why are you thanking me?" Ji Hyun-woon said unhappily.

"Then don't thank me." Yan Li smiled, and felt his gloomy mood lightened a little. Now, he was beginning to understand the benefits of having friends.

"Tomorrow is the second round, you …" Ji Hyun-woon said softly. "If you're worried that Ji Wuyu will deal with you, why don't I get Old Yuan to send you back to Hatred Parting Palace? You can stay there for a while."

"Do you look down on me that much?" Yan Li raised his eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" Ji Hyun-woon said.

Yan Li stood up, patted the dust, and said, "Do I look like a person who will admit defeat?"

"Of course you won't admit defeat, but …" Ji Hyun-woon said hesitantly. "Even if you get the title of Champion in the second round, you'll have no chance of entering the first roll. I can tell you for sure that there are at least three people in the top five in the first round, and they'll definitely be in the top five in the second round. "

"What if my ranking changes?" Yan Li paced with his hands behind his back.

"The Divine Emperor has decreed that even if the Sect Master of Confucian orthodoxy is here, he won't be able to change it." Ji Hyun-woon shook his head without hesitation. "You'd better give up on that idea. Besides, tomorrow is the second round. It's too late to do anything now. "

"You're wrong," Yan Li said.

"I'm wrong?" Ji Hyun-woon wondered if Yan Li had been burned senseless by his inner demons. His face was full of suspicion. "Do you have any other plan to change your ranking?"

"No." Yan Li paced back and forth, and his pace became faster and faster.

"You're messing with me!" Ji Hyun-woon said unhappily.

Yan Li said, "There's no such thing as a dead end in this world. It might seem like a dead end, but there's no way to break it for now."

He murmured in a low voice, "I'm trapped in a jar now. The most important thing isn't for someone to break it from the outside, but for me to find a way to get someone from the outside to break it."

Ji Hyun-woon thought for a moment. "What's the difference between the two?"

"The strong save themselves!" Yan Li suddenly stopped and stared at Ji Hyun-woon with a fiery gaze.

Being stared at by his fiery gaze, Ji Hyun-woon panicked a little. He couldn't help but take half a step back. "You, why are you looking at me like that?"

"There's a way to change my ranking," Yan Li said.

"What way?" Ji Hyun-woon said.

"Make someone else's ranking change," Yan Li said.

"Pig head, aren't we going back to the original point again!" Ji Hyun-woon said impatiently. "Are you an idiot?"

"There are a hundred people participating in the second round," Yan Li said.

"It's a hundred," Ji Hyun-woon said.

Yan Li's eyes emitted a strange light. "What if someone dies?"

"Dead?" Ji Xuanyun was stunned at first, and then his mind was greatly shaken. "You, you mean?"

Yan Li's lips curled up slightly. His whole face was indescribably evil. "The show has just begun."
