Chapter 180: Decision, Awakening
"Group ten, number seven Murong Bai and number eight Chen Hao, please come on stage!"
The referee's voice sounded, and Chen Hao immediately flew to the arena.
From the fourth group's fifth contestant, Ao Huaguang, to the fifth and sixth contestants, and then from the first group's seventh and eighth contestants, all the way to the tenth group's Murong Bai and Chen Hao's contestants, there were no exciting performances. Only a few seeded contestants showed their powerful strength. The Divine Beast White Tiger's inheritance that everyone was looking forward to had not appeared yet. It was the only Divine Beast Inheritance that had not appeared yet.
Murong Bai was ranked one hundred and ten on the black pagoda. Facing Chen Hao, a seeded contestant who had obtained the Phoenix Inheritance, plus the rumors about Chen Hao, he did not have the courage to enter the arena and chose to admit defeat …
Chen Hao ran back and forth in despair. He could only sigh that his opponents were too weak. Until now, he and the other three seeded contestants still had not had a chance to fight.
…
The competition continued.
In group three, number nine Yang Fan, although he had comprehended the essence of wind, he was still seriously injured by number ten Zheng Yuanpeng, a ninth grade Martial Grandmaster who was ranked thirteen on the black pagoda. Yang Fan's surprise attack was absolutely terrifying, but the confident Zheng Yuanpeng used his great strength to counterattack when Yang Fan's sword was about to reach him.
When it was time for number nine and ten of group five to enter the arena, number ten contestant Yu Qiyu, a female disciple with an enchanting appearance and a seductive figure, did not show great strength at the beginning. However, when she was completely suppressed by her opponent and was about to be defeated, her aura suddenly soared crazily!
The Divine Beast White Tiger Inheritance had finally appeared!
She killed her shocking opponent in one move!
…
In one day, after two rounds of competition, Chen Hao still did not have a chance to fight. However, the real strong contestants had already shown their talents.
The most outstanding contestant was undoubtedly Kang Linghong, who was a Martial Saint in group ten and had a high chance of obtaining the Azure Dragon Inheritance. Then there was Li You Ran in group one with the Black Tortoise Inheritance, Ao Huaguang in group four with the Kylin Inheritance, Yu Qiyu in group five with the White Tiger Inheritance, and Chu Leqin in group seven with the Vermilion Bird Inheritance!
In addition to these five contestants who had revealed the Divine Beast Inheritance, there were also several powerful contestants who entered the public's eyes.
…
"Chen Hao!" Just as Chen Hao and the rest stepped out of the training ground, Dongfang Ting's figure appeared beside Chen Hao and said, "Let me join you tonight …"
"Senior Sister … is coming with us?" Chen Hao asked in surprise.
"It's a sect mission. I was sent here as a lobbyist to deal with the elders. You don't have to worry about it. Water flows downwards and people walk upwards. I will not affect you …" Dongfang Ting said with a faint smile. Although there was nothing wrong with her expression, there was a hint of worry hidden deep within her eyes. That was especially true when she looked at Chen Hao and Tantai Lian.
Chen Hao's intuition told him that Dongfang Ting was not simply here to persuade the elders.
…
In less than ten minutes, Chen Hao and the other four, led by Dongfang Ting, returned to the courtyard on the peak.
As expected, after entering the courtyard, Dongfang Ting called for Chen Hao and the rest to enter the cultivation room together.
"Senior Sister, what's the matter?" Chen Hao asked with a frown after entering the cultivation room.
"During the competition, I received a message from Xuan Xuan. She asked me to ask about the specific situation when you killed Fan Fang's sister …"
"The specific situation? I just killed her with a punch. What's wrong? "
"Not that. Fan Fang had formed the Seal of Life and Death with his sister. When she dies, Fan Fang can see the scene of his sister's death through the Seal of Life and Death. Xuan Xuan said that Fan Fang said today that he wanted all of you to die … and it's very likely that he would do something even worse to Xiaolian … and according to what Tai Zigang said, Fan Fang might not let any of you off … "
Tantai Lian, Li Yifeng, Yang Fan, and Ni Jianping's expressions changed slightly as they looked at Chen Hao. Then, Tantai Lian said, "I'm not afraid. At most, I'll cultivate in the sect. No matter how strong he is, would he dare to attack the sect? It's just that … "
Tantai Lian looked at Chen Hao and did not continue. Yang Fan and the other two did the same.
Chen Hao's brows were deeply furrowed. His black eyes were unusually cold. He did not speak, as if he was deep in thought.
"His target is the Dragon Transformation List …" Tantai Lian could not help but send a message to Dongfang Ting.
"What?" Dongfang Ting's eyes widened in shock. She grabbed Chen Hao and said, "What are you thinking? Without the sect's protection, with Fan Fang's cultivation, how could you hide? If I'm not wrong, he has already locked onto your aura. Fan Fang may be in the Golden Core stage, but he can even form the Seal of Life and Death … do you know what this means? If you insist on doing things your own way, you'll only get yourself killed! The only way is to choose a sect and concentrate on cultivation. When you've truly grown and are strong enough to fight him, you won't have to hide anymore! Can't you even tolerate this? "
Chen Hao looked at Dongfang Ting in shock. Ever since they met, Dongfang Ting had never lost her temper. But now …
"The Dragon Transformation List is indeed of a higher level than the Hundred Empire Ranking. But don't think that your talent is so great that you can stand out on the Dragon Transformation List. Those disciples are all super geniuses from big clans in the cultivation world. If you don't join a sect now, you're like a wandering cultivator without roots. Your cultivation conditions are a hundred times worse than those of sect disciples, and you're suppressed everywhere. How fast can you improve? In two years, even if you're lucky enough to escape Fan Fang's pursuit, how much can you improve? Sixth grade Martial Saint is the minimum requirement to register for the Dragon Transformation List! There are plenty of Martial Gods, and Golden Core stage is not rare … These are all geniuses below the age of twenty! Disciples from our dynasty can't compare to them at all! I don't know why you insist on participating in the Dragon Transformation List, but this time, you must … "
"I'll listen to you." Chen Hao suddenly said, "Senior sister, can you let go of my shoulder? If you continue to hold on, my bones will be crushed by your grip … "
Dongfang Ting was slightly taken aback by Chen Hao's words. She immediately released Chen Hao's shoulder and asked, "Are you serious?"
Tantai Lian, Yang Fan, and the other three looked at Chen Hao in shock. They immediately heaved a sigh of relief. This was a bull, a stubborn, stubborn, and stubborn guy to the point of madness. Although Tantai Lian couldn't help but tell Dongfang Ting, the four of them didn't have much hope. But now …
Chen Hao had actually agreed.
"Really. Senior sister, does your sect have the strength to protect us? "
"Our sect?"
"Yes!" Chen Hao said with a serious expression.
"Our sect is only of third grade …"
"It doesn't matter what grade you are. I only want to know if your sect has the ability to let us stay in the sect."
"That's not a problem. Even if it's a first grade sect, as long as you're in the sect, no one would dare to do anything to you. Even the sect leader of the Flying Sword Sect doesn't have this ability … but we're only of third grade … Chen Hao, you don't have to worry about your relationship with me. My sword will will let you choose the seventh grade sect, the Myriad Pill Pavilion!"
Hearing Dongfang Ting's words, Tantai Lian and the other three looked at Chen Hao. Their expressions were obviously more inclined towards the Myriad Pill Pavilion that Dongfang Ting had mentioned!
"I'd rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix …" Chen Hao said with a slight smile.
"Then why do you insist on participating in the Dragon Transformation List?" Dongfang Ting couldn't help but ask.
"For one thing, it's to vent my anger. Secondly, I never wanted to join any sect … I want to be a freelance cultivator! A freelance cultivator with no restrictions! "Chen Hao said.
"A freelance cultivator? Are you crazy? A freelance cultivator can't even obtain a decent cultivation technique. What are you cultivating? "
"This … I don't think it's very important …" Chen Hao seemed to say reluctantly. In the eyes of Dongfang Ting, Tantai Lian, and the other four, he seemed to have completely ignored them.
In reality, what they didn't know was that the reason Chen Hao wanted to be a freelance cultivator without any restrictions was because of the secrets of the Daoist Canon in his mind. Once he stepped into the Golden Elixir stage, he would truly begin his own cultivation. How would he lack cultivation techniques? He believed that combining Daoist techniques and martial arts techniques would allow his strength to increase rapidly. Besides this, there was another reason that attracted Chen Hao to be a freelance cultivator. That was because he didn't have to shoulder any responsibilities or concerns.
But this time, the news that Dongfang Ting brought and the words that she had just said made Chen Hao understand that it was impossible for people to be free of responsibilities. In the past, he was able to do that because, strictly speaking, he was a person who had completely sealed himself off and refused to accept anyone. Could the current him do that?
No.
"But now … it seems impossible. Alright, Senior Sister, I'll choose your Zhaixing Sect! What about you? If you think my level is too low, you're free to … "Chen Hao suddenly seemed to become a different person as he looked at Tantai Lian, Yang Fan, and the other three. Although he said they were free to choose, the expression on his face clearly said that if they dared to do as they pleased, he would cut ties with them.
"So what if I'm third level? Didn't you say that? The level isn't important. What's important is whether it suits me … I've long felt that the Zhaixing Sect suits me. Of course, I'm fine with it … "
"That's what I thought too," Yang Fan said with a smile on his ordinary face.
"You've spoken my mind." Ni Jianping, who was as solemn as a mountain, actually grinned and said.
Tantai Lian only nodded, her face slightly red.
"This … this …" Dongfang Ting was a little surprised and didn't know what to say. The so-called lobbyist was indeed real. Elder Wu meant for her to fight for Li Yifeng and Ni Jianping, the two weakest. As for Yang Fan, who had rushed into the top ten, there was no hope. Not to mention Chen Hao and Tantai Lian. But at this moment, they seemed to have won six at once. How great was this credit? But …
"You're really choosing the Zhaixing Sect? Are you sure you're not being impulsive? "
"I'm sure. Senior Sister, look at how happy you are … Is the reward very great? "Tantai Lian, Yang Fan, and the other three were once again surprised that Chen Hao actually joked.
"Very great … If it's true, it's really great …"
"Then remember to share some benefits with us. Don't doubt whether it's true or not. The Zhaixing Sect, what a domineering name. I didn't think much of it at first, but the more I think about it, the more it fits … "Chen Hao said with a smile. At this moment, Tantai Lian and the other three suddenly wondered if the person in front of them was the original Chen Hao.
Yes, and no.
Even Chen Hao himself didn't expect that after making this decision, his entire soul seemed to have undergone a baptism, as if the dark clouds had parted to reveal the sun and moon.
He made this decision for the sake of Tantai Lian, Yang Fan, Li Yifeng, and Ni Jianping. This also made him understand that the determination in his heart, the strong desire to become stronger, had sunk into the obsession of his former self. But unfortunately, he was no longer the person he used to be, and he couldn't be heartless at all. Fortunately, he chose to join a sect for the sake of the four of them. Even more fortunately, after making this choice, he understood that he had sunk into obsession. But now, he was clear-headed …
