King of Nine Heavens

Huzi walked over, touched his head and said with a simple and honest smile, "Little Commandery Princess, I'm your brother-in-law's friend, Huzi."    

    

Shangguan Yujie looked at Huzi's sturdy face and quickly recognized him. She pointed at him and asked, "Aren't you qualified to become a core disciple of the Xiaoxiang Palace? Why participate in the competition? Aren't you afraid that falling out of the top ten, and not being able to become a core disciple? "    

    

Hearing that, Huzi's face changed, because he did not think of that, but he had already participated, and it was too late for regrets, so he relaxed: "Originally, I did not plan to participate, but I heard from the host that there were Second Rank Devil Beast inside, so I wanted to test my own abilities, and see how many Devil Beast could be killed."    

    

Lan Fei heard Shangguan Yujie's words and hesitated for a moment. Seeing Huzi's unsightly expression, she anxiously said, "Brother Huzi, you're the one who beat all the Devil Pill on me, so I'll give my Devil Pill to you."    

    

After she finished speaking, Lan Fei extended her hand to the Universe Bag at her waist and took out the Devil Pill s.    

    

"Absolutely not." Shangguan Yujie held Lan Fei's hand and said, "Once you come out, you can't do business in private anymore. Once the Xiaoxiang Palace disciples find out and report you, not only your results will become invalid, his results will also become invalid."    

    

Huzi comforted her: "Little Sister Lan Fei, don't worry, I think it's good if you can become an inner disciple of Xiaoxiang Palace."    

    

The two of them were actually calling each other siblings. It seemed like they were progressing well, at least compared to the relationship they had with that tall mountain. Shangguan Yujie looked at Huzi again. Even though he was extremely sturdy, he looked rather simple and honest. Shangguan Yujie pulled Lan Fei to the side and whispered into her ear, "He lacks a tendon, and so do you. You two really match each other well."    

    

Lan Fei's face darkened. She pinched Shangguan Yujie's waist and said, "Little girl, you're missing a tendon. Your whole family is missing a tendon."    

    

Shangguan Yujie didn't get angry and instead laughed. She pouted at Huzi and said, "Lan Fei, you're so spicy. Aren't you afraid that that person might not like you?"    

    

Lan Fei looked at Huzi and said shyly, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."    

    

"Stop hiding it, do you think I can't see what you are thinking?" Shangguan Yujie rolled her eyes.    

    

Lan Fei knew that she could not hide it, so she changed the topic. "Where's yours?"    

    

"I don't have that one." Shangguan Yujie denied it.    

    

"Little Commandery Princess, do you think I don't know what you're capable of? Will you be able to last until the end if you fight alone? " Lan Fei patted Shangguan Yujie's shoulders and said, "Quick, call me honestly."    

    

Shangguan Yujie knew it was impossible to hide it from him, so she pouted and said, "What 'that'? We're only teammates."    

    

"Do you think I would believe you?" Lan Fei said in annoyance.    

    

"Believe it or not." Shangguan Yujie rolled her eyes at Lan Fei once again. Since the mountain wasn't here, he might as well go all out and refuse to admit it.    

    

Lan Fei looked around. Other than a few familiar faces, she didn't see any other unfamiliar faces. She thought to herself, "Maybe they are just teammates?"    

    

On the Chair Platform, Shangguan Tianming walked to the front of the stage with vigorous steps. Looking at the competitors, who were emitting a faint luster from their bodies, he said with a face full of smiles: "Not bad, you really did not disappoint this old man. Although the level for this year's competition has increased, there are still close to two thousand people who have endured to the end. These people will become the focus of our Xiaoxiang Palace. "    

    

Shangguan Tianming was afraid that he would be left out the eliminated participants, so he changed the topic: "Of course, those participants who were eliminated, do not be disappointed, as long as you stay in Xiaoxiang Palace and bitterly train, you will still have a good future."    

    

Many of the participants at the Fifth Grade Martial Cultivator Realm or above who were eliminated had left. They were all the geniuses of the various families or the outstanding people in the local area, so they did not care about the outer disciples of the Xiaoxiang Palace. With their talent and strength, those who were placed in a lower level sects would definitely be considered core disciples.    

    

In the end, the only ones left were some participants who didn't have any background, and whose talent wasn't very high. When they heard Shangguan Tianming's words, a trace of hope immediately flared up.    

    

Although this hope was very slim, it was still better than nothing. Amongst these people, some of them couldn't even get themselves fed, and it wouldn't be a problem for them to at least have that much food in their Xiaoxiang Palace. More importantly, there were also many cultivation resources for them every month.    

    

Therefore, they would rather become outer court disciples than to leave.    

    

Shangguan Tianming said calmly: "The preliminary round is now over. Next, we will count the Devil Pill that the participants have obtained. All participants with ten Devil Pill s or higher will stand at the red area on the right, and those under ten will stand at the green area on the left. Those participants who have long been eliminated, please leave these two areas. "    

    

As soon as he said that, the crowd split into several groups and rushed to the area that belonged to him. There weren't many people in the red zone, about a hundred or so, while there were about two thousand in the red zone.    

    

Since Experiential Training Field was an array set up by the Xiaoxiang Palace, the upper echelons of the Xiaoxiang Palace knew how many people were able to persevere to the very end, a total of one thousand and one people. At this moment, however, there were around two thousand one hundred or so people in these two areas.    

    

Shangguan Tianming took a closer look at the red zone. He didn't find any people who were pretending to be numbers, so he nodded with satisfaction. He then looked at the green zone and found that there were a lot of people who didn't have a faint luster.    

    

Shangguan Tianming looked at those participants with no luster on their bodies, and said with a gloomy face, "Those participants who have been eliminated long ago are invited to leave the green region. Otherwise, they will have to bear the consequences."    

    

Hearing this, some people began to leave the green zone, but others remained calm and unmoved. Shangguan Tianming's expression turned cold as he said: "I will count to three. If those competitors who were eliminated long ago still don't leave the green area, they will receive the most severe punishment from the Xiaoxiang Palace — — becoming Xiaoxiang Palace's mortal enemy."    

    

After saying that, Shangguan Tianming started to count.    

    

"Three, two …"    

    

Before Shangguan Tianming finished counting, many more people left the green zone. However, there were still a dozen or so people left in the green zone.    

    

"One."    

    

After Shangguan Tianming finished counting, he said to Huang Juelun, who was still maintaining order, "Huang Juelun, take a few people and drag out that green-clothed youth beside you. He's the one who was eliminated long ago."    

    

"Alright."    

    

Huang Juelun replied respectfully, waved his hand towards the Xiaoxiang Palace disciples beside him, and walked towards the person who pretended to be in numbers, and dragged him out from the crowd.    

    

The teenager was not convinced: "Why do you think I was eliminated? I have Devil Pill s on me to prove that I was teleported out after the competition."    

    

With that, the teenager raised the Devil Pill in his hand.
