"Don't worry. If I can't even win the first match, I won't have the face to return to Xiaoling Peak!" Zhang Leyang said with a smile.
Zhang Leyang's cultivation was the highest among them. Although he seemed to be in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. He could break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment at any time, which was slightly higher than Zhang Wei and the others. This also reflected Zhang Leyang's great talent.
After arriving at the Martial Arts Practice Square, Zhang Leyang immediately found the Golden Core Stage referee in charge. He took the opponent's number plate from him and handed it to Chen Mo.
"Number 6,846. He should be one of the stronger ones among the inner disciples!" Chen Mo said as he looked at the number plate.
The higher the number of the Lin Family's year-end competition, the stronger the disciple was. For example, Lin Shen's number was 1, Lin Rui's number was 2, and Hayashikawa's number was 10. Although this ranking did not necessarily prove one's strength, it was obvious that the higher the ranking, the harder it was to deal with them. Among the inner disciples, a disciple who was in the top six thousand was already one of the stronger ones.
"Wait a moment. I'll go and ask around about this person!" Chen Mo rolled his eyes and walked towards a stand not far away.
After whispering a few words to one of them, he didn't seem to get anything useful. He turned around and continued to ask a few more people. As he asked more and more people, the complete information about this disciple began to appear in front of him.
"I've already asked around. This disciple's name is Wu Xinli. His strength has just broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. He's good at controlling swords and long-range magic attacks. Most importantly, he has a lot of connections with Lin Shen's followers. Therefore, I'm afraid you'll be facing a very difficult opponent in this match!" Chen Mo said with an ugly expression.
First of all, Zhang Leyang's strength was inferior. Second, this person was related to Hayashikawa's sworn enemy, Lin Shen. Therefore, this match was not as simple as a contest between two people. There would definitely be other things mixed in.
Sure enough, after Wu Xinli found out that his opponent was Zhang Leyang from Xiaoling Peak, a gloomy sneer appeared on his face. He directly walked towards the people from Xiaoling Peak.
"You're my opponent? He looks like a weakling! " Wu Xinli glanced at Zhang Leyang contemptuously. He didn't care about an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. He was sure to win this competition.
Zhang Leyang carefully sized up the thin youth in front of him, as if he did not notice his opponent's contemptuous expression, nor did he respond to Wu Xinli's provocation.
The abnormality attracted the attention of some people. When these people saw Wu Xinli, their eyes suddenly lit up. As they walked over, many of them also saw the person standing opposite Wu Xinli.
Almost instantly, they recognized Zhang Leyang's identity. After all, there were only a few people standing beside Qin Lang a few days ago. At this moment, except for Bu Lianshi, the others were all here. If they still couldn't recognize that he was from Xiaoling Peak, it would be a little unreasonable.
"Look, the people from Xiaoling Peak are going to fight with Wu Xinli. This is going to be interesting!"
"What's there to see? Isn't he just an unknown kid? The early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator has no chance of winning against the middle stage Foundation Establishment cultivator Wu Xinli!"
"It is said that Wu Xinli is the younger brother of Lin Shen's follower Wu Xinming. He has a lot of cultivation resources and can be considered half a core disciple!"
…
Everyone was talking one after another, causing this originally ordinary competition to attract a lot of attention. They saw this as the first collision between Lin Shen's subordinates and Hayashikawa's subordinates. Although most people were optimistic about Wu Xinli, this didn't stop them from looking forward to this battle, because they wanted to see how badly Zhang Leyang would lose.
"We can't let others look down on us!" Zhang Wei surveyed the surroundings, and all he could see was disdain and sneers directed at them.
"Don't worry, I will definitely make a good start in this first competition!" Zhang Leyang said, gently touching the storage ring with his finger. Inside it were the three Common Level Middle Level Long Swords that Hayashikawa gave him a few days ago. Although the grade was not high, it would be his trump card in this competition.
Just as they were about to go on stage, three familiar figures came over. They were the three people that Hayashikawa met in the hunting ground.
During the time when Hayashikawa was not at Xiaoling Peak, Han Qing and the other two couldn't stand the pressure of being ostracized and were lured by people with ulterior motives, so they chose to leave Xiaoling Peak and seek refuge with other people.
However, everyone parted on good terms and didn't cause any trouble. Moreover, when they were at the hunting ground, the three of them saved the lives of Hayashikawa and the other two, so no one made things difficult for them. Now that they met again, everyone nodded to each other as a greeting.
"Do you think it was a mistake for us to choose to leave Xiaoling Peak at that time?" Han Qing asked softly, recalling the young man who was bathed in lightning a few days ago.
"They are destined to be in the core of the Lin family. Whether it is good or bad, it is the same. We just chose to be peaceful. There is no right or wrong!" One of them said.
Han Qing didn't speak. He just looked at the figures on and off the stage and sighed slightly. He only knew that once the choice was made, it was impossible to go back. As the saying goes, spilled water can't be undone.
In the center of the martial arts arena, Zhang Leyang and Wu Xinli were already standing on both sides, waiting for the referee's order to start.
"First of all, during the competition, no elixirs are allowed. Otherwise, it will be determined that you lose! Second, if one side concedes defeat, the other side is not allowed to make a move. Finally, if I feel that the winner has been decided and it is a critical moment, I will intervene in the competition. Do you understand? "The middle-aged Gold Core Stage referee asked.
"Understood!" Zhang Leyang and Wu Xinli said in unison.
"Very good! Then, let the competition begin! " With the referee's order, Zhang Leyang and Wu Xinli immediately burst out with powerful spiritual fluctuations. Both of them immediately took out their immortal swords from their storage rings and made a gesture to attack each other.
Fiery red spiritual energy instantly burst out on the martial arts arena. However, Zhang Leyang's side was obviously weaker than Wu Xinli's side. This was because of the difference in cultivation, and there was no way to take advantage of it.
"Hmph!" When Wu Xinli felt the spiritual fluctuations from Zhang Leyang's body, a disdainful smile appeared on his face. He no longer cared about the result of the collision of the immortal swords. Instead, he chose to start making gestures to release spells, wanting to defeat Zhang Leyang in one fell swoop.
However, on the other side, Zhang Leyang's face showed an extremely serious expression. Fine sweat seeped out of his forehead. At the same time, he made a gesture with both hands and controlled his immortal sword to stab Wu Xinli's immortal sword without any distracting thoughts.
