The two stared at each other, but very quickly, there was a difference.
Karmic Fire Sect's Sovereign Jue Nian was still staring at Lu An, while Lu An quickly turned his head away. He did not look at Jue Nian for more than a breath of time.
The moment Lu An turned his head, Jue Nian frowned. Without a doubt, he could feel the disdain in Lu An's eyes, as though he did not place him in his eyes at all.
Lu An indeed felt that way, and continued listening to Shuang 'er's introduction. But before Shuang' er finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"Brother Lu! We haven't seen each other for a long time, cheers! "
Once these words were spoken, everyone's body trembled as they hurriedly looked towards the south. That's right, the one who spoke was none other than Yin Yang God Sect's Sovereign, Wang Yangcheng!
The fact that Yin Yang God Sect and Ice Fire Union were allies was not a secret. But allies were still allies, and their relationship could not be compared to allies. But Wang Yangcheng addressed Lu An as' brother 'in front of all the other sects, this was a completely different matter!
This Wang Yangcheng — was there really something wrong with his brain?
Lu An was also taken aback. Looking at Wang Yangcheng, Wang Yangcheng had already raised his wine cup. Lu An already knew of Wang Yangcheng's forthright character, so he smiled and raised his wine cup as well.
"Sovereign Wang, please!" Lu An said politely.
The two downed their wine in one gulp, and the entire crowd quietened down as they watched this scene. Just as Lu An placed his wine cup down, and was preparing to chat with Wang Yangcheng, another voice suddenly sounded out.
"Sovereign Lu, let me toast you too!"
Once these words were spoken, everyone's body trembled as they hurriedly turned towards the north in astonishment!
That's right, the one who spoke was none other than Earth Sect's Sovereign, Huang Ding!
Huang Ding raised his wine cup, and smiled towards Lu An. Lu An was taken aback. Shuang 'er had started her explanation from this person, and he knew how strong Earth Sect was. Moreover, both sides had never interacted before. Lu An once again raised his wine cup, and politely said, "Many thanks Sovereign Huang, please."
The two of them downed the wine in one gulp, and the whole place was silent.
Wang Yangcheng and Huang Ding toasted Lu An one after another. This was an extremely honorable treatment. At the very least, no Sect Master had ever received such treatment! The other Sect Masters and Sect Masters all looked at the three of them. The other people in the inner and outer circles also looked at the three of them. However, in the end, they all looked at Lu An, their eyes filled with deep jealousy.
Those in the inner circle who knew about Lu An's identity were still fine, but those in the outer circle couldn't understand at all. How could a mere Lu An be valued so highly by the two Sect Masters? This made them extremely jealous! Everyone was a level eight Heavenly Master, and this brat's strength wasn't that strong. Why was he surrounded by so many beauties? Why was everyone giving him face?
It was understandable that these people had such thoughts. After all, they didn't know about the existence of the Hachiko clan. They thought that the sects were the strongest forces in the world and didn't need to give face to anyone.
"Alliance Master Lu is twenty years old this year, right?" After putting down the wine glass, Huang Ding looked at Lu An and said with a smile, "To have such strength at the age of twenty, it's really admirable. When I was Alliance Master Lu's age, I'm afraid I had just broken through to level six. "
"Sect Master Huang is overpraising me. I was just lucky." Lu An smiled and said politely, "No one knows what will happen in the future. With my current strength, it's not enough to praise me."
"Hey! Alliance Master Lu is too polite! " Huang Ding waved his hand and looked at Wang Yangcheng. "If you didn't have strength, why would Brother Wang call you brother? Am I right?"
"Of course!" Wang Yangcheng said with a smile, "Is there a need to ask about my brother's strength? He's a first-class expert! "
"…"
Huang Ding and Wang Yangcheng were talking about Lu An, but Liu Yi, who was beside Lu An, frowned slightly. She said to Lu An with her divine sense, "This Huang Ding seems to be praising you to death."
Lu An nodded slightly. He was also aware of this. Wang Yangcheng's nature was forthright, and he was a pure martial arts fanatic. It was normal for him to praise himself. Moreover, Wang Yangcheng had helped the Ice Fire Union a lot, and he admired Lu An from the bottom of his heart. However, Huang Ding had never seen Lu An fight before, and he had never interacted with Lu An before. The moment he came up, he praised Lu An to such an extent. It was obvious that he was trying to arouse everyone's emotions.
That's right. Under Huang Ding and Wang Yangcheng's praise, the faces of the people from the other sects, whether they were in the inner or outer circle, gradually turned ugly. If these two people were praising a level nine Heavenly Master, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, praising a level eight Heavenly Master in front of most of the level eight Heavenly Masters was undoubtedly a slap to their faces!
As allies and friends of the Ice Fire Union, those who stood on the Ice Fire Union's side also realized this point. Li Tang turned to look at Lu An with a trace of worry in her beautiful eyes.
"Alliance Master Lu has been in seclusion for so long. Your strength should have improved a lot, right?" Huang Ding looked at Lu An and said with a smile, "I heard that even the elders of the Yin Yang Divine Sect and the Hundred Weapon Sect were defeated by you. With your age, your future is limitless!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the level eight Heavenly Masters present turned even uglier. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many level nine Heavenly Masters present, they wouldn't have dared to be presumptuous. Otherwise, they would have all challenged Lu An!
"I was just lucky." Lu An smiled and said, "I have indeed fought with a few sects, but they were only sparring. There was a huge restriction on my strength. If I was lucky, I won a few rounds. If I were to go all out, I might not have won."
Just as Huang Ding was about to smile and say something, a core elder suddenly walked to his side, leaned over, and whispered something. Huang Ding was startled. Then, he laughed and said to everyone present, "I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. An hour has already passed. It's not good to sit at the banquet all the time. According to the plan, we can now spar with each other. Why don't we watch and chat? "
All the sect leaders and sect leaders present nodded in agreement. This was indeed something that had been communicated with the sects in advance. The sparring would start at 7: 45 AM. Otherwise, there would be too many sects and there would be too many participants to finish.
"In that case, who wants to volunteer?" Huang Ding looked around and asked with a smile.
Naturally, only level eight Heavenly Masters could participate. Level nine Heavenly Masters couldn't participate. When Huang Ding's words came out, many level eight Heavenly Masters were ready to fight, whether it was the outer circle or the inner circle!
Those in the inner circle were all core elders and young masters. They were very proud and also refused to accept Lu An. Everyone was at the same level. No matter how strong your Fate Wheel was, could it be stronger than others?
However, no matter what, Lu An was the leader of the Ice and Fire Union. Being invited meant that he was on an equal footing with the sect leaders and sect leaders. It was too much to challenge the leader of the Ice and Fire Union. The Ice and Fire Union had many allies and friends. It was very likely that it would have a bad influence on the sect.
Three breaths after Huang Ding's voice fell, a figure suddenly stood up, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.
The person who stood up was from the outer circle. At this time, he belonged to the Six Paths Sect!
The Six Paths Sect was an ally of the Yin Yang Divine Sect. Therefore, when the four sect leaders of the Yin Yang Divine Sect saw someone from the Six Paths Sect stand up, their eyes narrowed slightly.
The person who stood up did not hide his strength at all. Everyone present could clearly sense that he was a peak Level Eight expert! This person was staring at the Ice and Fire Union. Although he was looking at Lu An, he said loudly, "I'm Liu Bao. I would like to spar with … Alliance Leader Lu. Please accept my request!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present gasped!
The first battle was a challenge to the Ice and Fire Union!
What was more, this person's words were very purposeful. When he said "Alliance Leader Lu", he paused for a moment. At first, people thought he was challenging Lu An. Although he did not challenge Lu An in the end, there was no doubt that he had slapped Lu An in the face!
However, Lu An did not care. He sat on the chair and looked at this person calmly. Since the other party did not challenge him, he would not take the initiative to fight. Yao Yao and Beauty Yang would not fight either because the person who stood up was from the outer circle.
If he wanted to fight, he had to send someone from the outer circle.
Liu Yi turned to look at Dong Huashun. Dong Huashun was already prepared. When he saw Liu Yi's gaze, he took a deep breath and stood up immediately!
"I'm Dong Huashun!" Dong Huashun stood up under everyone's gaze. His voice resounded in the sect banquet. He looked at the other party and shouted, "I accept your challenge!"
