"Hey, you know what? Buddha Head has spoken. Whoever wins the first place in the youth category will be tutored for half a year in person by him.""Well, I won"t be the first. f.u.c.k, I"m consumed by envy, jealousy and hate. The tutoring from a Gokudo Path master cultivates victors."
"The most likely ones are Jie Se and Dan Chenzi. If Li Peiyun also comes, he will be counted as one."
"Let"s forget Li Peiyun, he"s the leader of the Ancient G.o.ds Clan. He won"t come to Lianghua temple to surrender himself. Don"t underestimate others too. There are many masters within the younger generation."
"Yes, many young people from abroad have also partic.i.p.ated in the conference this time."
In the early morning of the opening ceremony of the conference, everyone was talking about one thing. Last night, Buddha Head sent a message to the outside world. Whoever was the champion of the youth category would receive personal guidance from Buddha Head for half a year.
How many people"s dream was that? Even the middle-aged group was very envious. They wanted to say, "Buddha Head, I am still young, only 20 years old."
Only a few people knew the reason why Buddha Head did this. Everything was because of Li Xianyu.
Buddha Head had lived for a long time. No one dared to bootlick like this in front of him. It was a pleasant feeling. However, he couldn"t tell the outside world directly: Li Xianyu is protected by me, don"t eye him. Hence, he took a circuitous approach. During his six months of guiding Li Xianyu, he had reason to protect his apprentice"s son from anything.
The premise was that Li Xianyu could emerge champion of the youth category.
"Licking till the end, you have everything," Liu Kongcao murmured. "Didn"t you say lackeys would end up with nothing? Which is true and which is false?"
Sitting in the audience, he tried to think about this problem. This would definitely influence his att.i.tude of pursuing his G.o.ddesses in the future, although he had not met his own G.o.ddess.
"Pui, the old monk is so pushy. He created so many obstacles for me. I"m not confident of winning myself." Li Xianyu was sitting beside him as they smoked. Liu Kongcao squinted at him as he looked down and fumbled for something.
"What are you looking for?" Li Xianyu asked.
"Your integrity," Liu Kongcao answered.
Li Xianyu was speechless.
Yesterday, Liu Kongcao was deeply impressed by Li Xianyu"s shamelessness. In ten minutes, he changed Buddha Head"s salutations many times, from Grand-teacher to Grandpa. This represented his moral integrity crumbling.
At the end of that, it told us that people were invincible if they were cheap.
"Look at Jie Se. Can I win? Am I his match? " Li Xianyu pointed to Jie Se, who was in the ring battling with someone. He had resentment on his face.
In the backyard mountain of Lianghua temple, there were two huge arenas. The pattern was similar to a gymnasium. There were six challenge arenas separated by low walls. Sitting in the audience, you could have a panoramic view of the six challenge arenas.
They were in the arena that hosted the youth group, and the one next door belonged to the middle-aged group. The age of the two arenas was the same as that of New China. After the founding of the People"s Republic of China, the Forum Conference was reformed. It was no longer a contest between the famous people in the demon descendants" community behind closed doors, but a contest between youth groups and the middle-aged groups.
Hence, two arenas were constructed. The Taoists had two arenas as well, but they had been abandoned, because they had never produced a Gokudo Path master since Demonic Priest.
Today was the first round of the preliminary compet.i.tion. There were 1200 people in the youth group who had signed up for this compet.i.tion. With six challenge arenas, half of them could be eliminated in one hundred rounds.
The compet.i.tion list was completely random. Hence, the people who were of comparable skill levels would take a long time to conclude their battles. Sometimes, the power levels of the two sides was very different, and the result would be determined in an instant.
At this time, Jie Se is against a young man from the Chen family. The young man was very powerful and ranked among the top 100 people in the youth demon descendants" list. The power of the Chen family was related to wind. He even created two hurricanes with a diameter of two meters, which swamped Jie Se from the left and right.
Jie Se was motionless. As both of his limbs moved, the two hurricanes were scattered in an instant. With a light blow of his palm, his opponent was hammered to the wall, unable to be removed. A big palm print appeared on the low wall.
Two or three moves, and the winner was determined.
All the women screamed in succession, regardless of their husbands or boyfriend"s expressions. They just wanted to shout, "Jie Se, I love you! Jie Se is so awesome."
They cheered him on hysterically.
"This is an absolute S-cla.s.s master. How can I beat him?" Li Xianyu held a mouthful of phlegm in his throat.
"Jie Se was ranked 69th on the demon descendants" list two years ago. He should have entered the top 40 this year. What a terrifying progression rate," Xia Xiaoxue said as she ate her snacks.
With Great-Grandma as the core, Xia Xiaoxue, You Mengyu, Thunderbolt Battle Lady, San Wu and Hua Yang were sitting around. Except for Hua Yang, everyone was snacking.
Of course, Great-Grandma spent Li Xianyu"s money on snacks.
There were more than 20 senior employees of Baoze behind him, including those from the headquarters and major divisions. There were no other experts at the G.o.d level except for San Wu. Only she was idle. The G.o.d of Fire and G.o.d of Apes were the directors of various branches, and they were preoccupied with matters all day.
Lightning King attended this event on behalf of Baoze. The Forum Conference was a grand event held by the demon descendants" community once every ten years. Baoze was obligated to send senior leaders to attend.
Tong Tong sat on the neck of Lightning King, holding chips in her hand, freeing one hand to wave to Li Xianyu in the corner.
Since they were smoking, Li Xianyu and Liu Kongcao were chased away to the corner.
"You should be confident in yourself. You are also a Gokudo Path inheritor," Liu Kongcao gloated.
But, my real strength is around the peak level of middle-level employees. I am still a long way from senior employee level, let alone S-level. Li Xianyu sighed. "What skill level does Dan Chenzi belong to?"
Liu Kongcao couldn"t answer, so he looked at Xia Xiaoxue. Xia Xiaoxue was an intelligence expert, but she was not very familiar with Dan Chenzi"s specific level. "Dan Chenzi almost doesn"t fight, he"s very low-key. Even if he fights with others, he doesn"t use his real strength. I don"t know what skill level he belongs to. On the other hand, he can fight ten of you."
At this time, Li Xianyu noticed the peeping eyes again, and looked in the opposite direction. There was a charming girl in a sailor"s suit, holding two pieces of watermelon, eating and watching him silently. They looked at each other. She even raised her chest and smiled at him provocatively.
"Crazy. Who is this woman? I don"t know her at all." Li Xianyu asked Xia Xiaoxue, "Xia Xiaoxue, do you know the girl over there?"
She looked in the direction he was pointing, and answered, "Which one?"
Li Xianyu"s pupils shrunk. The girl disappeared.
"Good morning, Li-san." The next moment, a clear and pleasant voice rang in his ears.
The girl in the sailor"s suit stood in front of him as her short skirt fluttered in the air. The morning sun shone on her white and milky-like face, and her black hair reflected a colorful s.h.i.+mmer.
Li Xianyu was stunned and politely replied, "Ohayo gozaimasu."
After a pause, he said, "Are you j.a.panese?"
The girl nodded and replied in Chinese, "My name is Sakurai Yukinako. Nice to meet you, Gokudo Path inheritor."
Her Chinese was as bad as Li Xianyu"s j.a.panese.
Li Xianyu subconsciously adopted a j.a.panese accent from a war film he had watched, and made friendly exchanges with the j.a.panese girl. "Flower girl from j.a.pan, all is well."
"Pfft!" Liu Kongcao"s saliva spouted out, as he coughed and laughed.
"Watermelon?" Sakurai Yukinako took out a big watermelon and a small knife from her wallet, carefully cut it into eight pieces, and gave them to Li Xianyu and Liu Kongcao.
"You are wrong," Li Xianyu said.
This knife was used by the j.a.panese when they cut open their abdomens to atone for their sins. He felt that it was inauspicious.
"Well, everyone in our family has a knife like this, which is used to cut the abdomen. However, who still cuts their abdomen? It"s just a symbolic tradition. Otherwise, a few months ago, I should have…" Sakurai Yukinako suddenly paused. "Eat your watermelon, eat your watermelon."
According to the rules of the samurai era, if she failed to a.s.sa.s.sinate the heir of the Li family last time, she should have cut her abdomen to atone for her sins. Later, because of gluttony, she was attracted to a roadside stall when she was tracking the River Child. She lost the Demonic Priest"s treasure. She had to cut her abdomen again.
Her family sent her to China for training, but she always messed up the tasks that she was a.s.signed.
"Thank you." Li Xianyu gnawed at the watermelon, "Is there anything about me that you"re attracted to? You"ve looked at me several times."
"Nothing," Yukinako waved and answered honestly. "You are not as good-looking as Jie Se. You are way below his level."
Li Xianyu blushed in embarra.s.sment. Were j.a.panese women so direct?
"I"m just curious about you. You can live so heartlessly even when there"s so much pressure on you," Yukinako said.
If you can"t speak, shut up. I"ll give you back your watermelon. Li Xianyu looked at her. "How do you know I live heartlessly?"
Of course, Yukinako couldn"t say that she had been watching him secretly for a long time. With a serious expression, she said, "I think we"re the same."
"I see…" Li Xianyu covered his face silently. "You"re also here for the Forum Conference?" Li Xianyu talked to her.
"I"m not," said Sakurai Yukinako as she puffed up her cheeks and spit out the watermelon seeds. She picked them up and wrapped them in a napkin. "I"m here to watch the show. Aoki Yui is here to partic.i.p.ate. I have to see where her skill level is at now."
Li Xianyu and Liu Kongcao were embarra.s.sed to spit watermelon seeds around.
"Aoki Yui?" Li Xianyu, with wide eyes, blurted out. "The Aoki family?"
"Yeah, yeah. The Aoki family and our Sakurai family are not on very friendly terms. I had a fight with Aoki Yui every month in j.a.pan back then," Sakurai Yukinako said. "Obviously, they have earned what they have now through their bodies, but they can match our Sakurai family. Baka!"
"It"s said that the youth category champion can get personal guidance from Buddha Head for half a year. I regret not partic.i.p.ating. I"m sure I can win the first place." Sakurai Yukinako was very confident.
"Have you ever fought Jie Se and Dan Chenzi?"
She shook her head.
"Then where does your confidence come from."
"Oh, right." Yukinako suddenly realized.
He was quiet.
"However, Jie Se has a weakness. He is a monk, and doesn"t go near females. As long as she takes off her clothes when fighting, he would not dare to look," Yukinako said. "Dan Chenzi has a weak personality and doesn"t like to compete for fame and wealth. If you can"t beat him, you can try to make up a lie. For example, if you can"t win the champions.h.i.+p, the family will force you to apologize. With his character, his heart will soften."
Li Xianyu was shocked. The girl seemed to be short of sinews, and her words were not pleasant to listen to. However, if you thought about her words carefully, they were very reasonable. Even he didn"t think of these. Li Xianyu dared to guarantee that there were few people who could think of this kind of effective and rotten move here.
This girl seemed to have a screw loose, but in fact, she had keen insight and judgment.
He originally thought she was a Bronze player, but she was a Challenger player?
"Do you think I have a weakness?" asked Li Xianyu.
"You don"t." After careful consideration, Yukinako gave such an answer.
"How so?" Li Xianyu was happy for a while. He couldn"t imagine that he was such a tough man in this girl"s eyes. Even Jie Se and Dan Chenzi was inferior to him.
"You are cheap and have no bottom line. Your weakness can"t be found. The only weakness is your poor strength." Yukinako looked serious.
After a long time of observation and a.n.a.lysis, she came to a very difficult conclusion.
People had weaknesses, but Li Xianyu"s weaknesses were too small to be exploited. He was an enemy that could only be defeated by sheer power.
"Another Gokudo Path inheritor, Li Peiyun, also has weaknesses. For example, he is determined to win and arrogant. If you challenged him one-on-one, he would never bring anyone else along. Then, you just need to send out a large crowd to hack him to death." Yukinako said, "You are not the same, you will definitely find someone. The enemy"s crowd will meet a larger crowd. You Chinese have a saying, how do I put it? Gentlemen can be deceived because they are upright, but villains can only rely on their fists."
"Girl, you are wise," Liu Kongcao said admiringly. "Li Xianyu is so cheap that he can only use his fists. That"s right."
"I"m returning the watermelon to you." Li Xianyu stuffed the half eaten watermelon into Yukinako"s arms, turned around faced her with his back.
At this time, the display: "Li Xianyu vs Shen Bi" appeared on the large screen in the center.
"Li Xianyu and Shen Bi, please proceed to Challenge Arena 2 when you see the words. Please arrive at Challenge Arena 2 within 10 minutes," the referee shouted.
The voice was clearly heard throughout the audience.
