After leaving the Sky Tower, Lu An went straight to the palace where he studied during the day.
Because he really had no interest in the competition between the eight countries and had no desire to participate, he was immersed in the world of cultivation along the way and did not think about this matter again.
After arriving at the palace, many disciples had already arrived. These disciples gathered together and seemed to be discussing something. Seeing this, Lu An also walked over.
Soon, when Lu An walked to the side of the crowd, Gongye Qingshan noticed him and said, "You're here!"
Lu An nodded. Seeing that everyone's complexion did not seem to be very good, he asked in confusion, "What happened?"
"Indeed, something happened." Gongye Qingshan frowned and said, "It is said that our eldest senior brother was training for the competition between the eight countries. Because of the heavy load, he was seriously injured and is now undergoing emergency treatment!"
Lu An was startled when he heard this and said, "When did this happen? Is the situation serious? "
"It is said that it happened in the early morning and the situation is very serious." Gongye Qingshan sighed and said, "It should be that our eldest senior brother is too strong and there is also the pressure of the competition between the eight countries, causing him to be so reckless."
Lu An heard this and thought for a moment before saying, "When I passed by the Sky Tower this morning, I saw Elder Huang Zhizhong leading many people into the Sky Tower."
"Well, we also know this news." Gongye Qingshan nodded and said, "This is indeed part of their training plan. Even if something happened to our eldest senior brother, the progress of the plan cannot be delayed. However, it is completely impossible for our eldest senior brother to participate in the competition between the eight countries this time. With his strong character, we are afraid that he will take things too hard. "
"…"
Hearing Gongye Qingshan's words, Lu An also nodded slightly. Indeed, for such a strong person, once he loses some kind of opportunity, it is likely that something will happen.
"What about master?" Lu An thought for a moment and asked again.
"After master heard about this matter, he rushed over this morning." Gongye Qingshan said solemnly, "Maybe we can't have classes today. Alas, it is all because of the competition between the eight countries. If not for the good rewards of the competition between the eight countries …"
"Reward?" Lu An's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He asked, "Is there a reward?"
"That's for sure. We're fighting for the reputation of Mount Tianshan and protecting the entire Tiancheng Country!" Gongye Qingshan hurriedly nodded and said, "As long as you can participate, the Dacheng Heavenly Mountain will give you generous rewards. If you obtain a good ranking, the rewards will be even more shocking!"
"Once you get a good ranking, not only will the Dacheng Heavenly Mountain give you good things, but the competition itself will also give you many good things. In addition, with this honor, whether you stay in the Dacheng Heavenly Mountain or enter the imperial court, your future will be bright, "Gongye Qingshan hurriedly said.
Lu An was not interested when he heard about his future. He only asked, "What are the rewards?"
When Gongye Qingshan heard this, he shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but I heard that in the last Eight Nations Competition, the Eight Cultivation Holy Lands gave the first place a Fifth Grade Heaven Art and a Fifth Grade Weapon as the reward!"
"What?!" Lu An trembled when he heard that!
This was the first time he had heard of a fifth-grade weapon!
When Gongye Qingshan saw Lu An's surprised look, he was also slightly startled and said, "Don't you know? I thought you would know about this when you were in the Outer Peak. Moreover, the Fifth Grade Heaven Art and Fifth Grade Weapon are not given away. Every Holy Land will give you a Fifth Grade Heaven Art and Fifth Grade Weapon for you to choose from. You can choose the one you like the most. "
When Lu An heard that, he was shocked again and nodded slightly. He was not interested in the Fifth Grade Heaven Art, but it would be a lie to say that he was not interested in the Fifth Grade Weapon.
When Gongye Qingshan saw Lu An's surprised expression, he was also interested. He elbowed Lu An and raised his eyebrows. He said, "It just so happens that Eldest Senior Brother can't participate, so there's an empty spot. Why don't you give it a try?"
"Me?" Lu An was startled when he heard that. Then, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. Eldest Senior Brother is seriously injured, so the 21st place should replace him. It has nothing to do with me."
"That's true." Gongye Qingshan nodded and said, "But you can directly challenge the 21st place. Then, you can go."
"Forget it." Lu An smiled and said, "I don't want to get beaten up."
Gongye Qingshan also smiled when he heard that. He did not say anything more on this topic.
In fact, Lu An was not not confident that he could defeat others to get a spot in the Eight Nations Tournament, but he had more important things to do. Before he solved the matter with Han Ya, he did not want to expose his strength too early.
Sure enough, as Gongye Qingshan said, his master did not come back to teach for the whole morning. At noon, everyone left one after another. Everyone knew in their hearts that they had to do what they had to do in the afternoon.
Because of this, Lu An had a simple lunch and went to the Sky Ascension Tower again. His goal was to be promoted to a Third Level Heavenly Master before the end of the year. According to his current speed, it would be very difficult to achieve.
In fact, Lu An had always wanted to stay in the Sky Ascension Tower during the day and night. However, he had to teach during the day. Otherwise, it would attract attention. Now that he did not have to go in the afternoon, he naturally went straight to the Sky Ascension Tower.
When he entered the Sky Ascension Tower, the elder on the first floor was startled when he saw Lu An. He said, "Why are you here so early today?"
"En." Lu An smiled. He then pointed upstairs and asked, "Elder, have those people left?"
"No, they haven't." The elder shook his head and said, "If they are tired, they will withdraw and rest outside. This kind of training will take a whole day."
Lu An slightly frowned when he heard those words. It was inevitable that he would bump into these people. However, Lu An was not too worried in his heart because he knew that it was impossible for him to not be seen even once during these few months of training. It was just a little earlier.
"Elder, I will go up first." Lu An said and followed the elder to the stairs.
After arriving at the second floor, Lu An entered the door and immediately saw Huang Zhizhong's figure standing outside the red line. Outside him, there were many disciples resting on the ground. However, there were only six people inside the red line.
From their expressions, it was obvious that these six people were suffering. Moreover, their position was not very close to the inside, but close to the edge. However, to be able to persevere inside meant that they were working very hard.
Lu An's appearance was naturally immediately perceived by Huang Zhizhong. He looked back and did not expect Lu An to appear here again. Lu An naturally walked towards Huang Zhizhong and said respectfully, "Disciple greets Elder Huang."
"Again?" Huang Zhizhong looked at Lu An in surprise and said, "You are very hardworking. However, be careful not to be injured by this pressure. If you cultivate by yourself, no one can save you if something happens."
Lu An nodded and said, "Disciple will remember."
Lu An bowed to Huang Zhizhong again before walking towards the red line. Outside the red line, all the tired disciples saw such a young boy walking in. All kinds of expressions appeared on their faces.
Some were stunned, some were surprised, but most of them were contemptuous. They thought that Lu An was overestimating himself. Even they could not bear the pressure, let alone this young boy.
However, when Lu An lightly stepped into the red line, they were all stunned. Even Huang Zhizhong's eyes lit up.
His body did not sway at all!
Time did not give them much time to think. They saw Lu An's other foot enter the red line, and then step by step he walked inside.
Thus, with every step Lu An took, everyone's expression became more and more shocked. Finally, they were stunned. When they saw Lu An walk to a position not far from the core, and then sit down quietly, everyone almost climbed up from the ground. Their expressions were exactly the same!
This … how could this be?
How could this be!
However, Huang Zhizhong was after all experienced and knowledgeable. He quickly calmed down from his shock. He looked at Lu An in the distance, and his eyes gradually narrowed into a line.
It seemed that the twentieth candidate that he was thinking about just now was now settled!
