428: Big Brother Chat

With that, Zhong Ruiyi formed a hand seal, and a Teleportation Array appeared below the high platform.

“Young friends, if you are ready, you can enter the special space through this Teleportation Array. The two Chosen Ones will leave shortly, but Alliance Master Ning and I will remain here until the Martial Arts Convention concludes.”

“You will be randomly teleported to any location within the special space. It’s possible to be sent directly in front of a treasure, or directly into a Yao Beast's lair. There’s an element of luck involved, but sometimes, luck is also a part of strength!”

After speaking, Zhong Ruiyi flicked her sleeve and sat back down.

The entire space was filled with fervent discussions.

“The Martial Arts Convention has finally begun! I’ve Cultivated for many years just to make a name for myself in the Nine Continents. If I can really make it into the top hundred, my Family tree will dedicate a separate page to me!”

“Top hundred? Are you joking? There are tens of thousands of participants in this Martial Arts Convention, and the promotion rate is less than one percent. I don’t want to reach the finals; I just hope to gain an Opportunity in the special space and Breakthrough to the Martial Venerable Realm.”

“The bold thrive, the timid starve. Are the nine prodigies of the central continent born with it? As long as my luck is good enough, I might be able to enter the Saint Realm within a year and easily defeat the nine prodigies of the central continent.”

“Private duels are allowed, so it’s possible to die in the special space? Thankfully, Her Excellency Xin Huo Kindling gave me a spirit talisman. If I really get teleported back to the starting point, I definitely won’t go in again!”

Everyone discussed animatedly, looking at the Teleportation Array in the air, yet no one dared to step forward.

Just then, Luo Chen was the first to step out and fly towards the Teleportation Array.

Seeing this, everyone looked at Luo Chen with admiration.

“As expected of Luo Chen, daring to be the first to try.”

“We don’t know what the special space is like, and we could face life-or-death crises at any moment, yet Saint Luo Chen dares to enter first. Truly a hero of Her Excellency Xin Huo generation!”

“Since Saint Luo Chen has already gone in, how can we remain stagnant? We’ve come all this way; no matter what lies ahead, we must give it a try!”

“That’s right, let’s go together!”

With Luo Chen as an example, other young participants also successively flew into the Teleportation Array.

Tens of thousands of people flying through the air simultaneously was a sight like locusts invading.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, “This is not good. The teleportation is random; the four of us cannot travel together.”

Lin Xu nodded slightly, Her Excellency Xin Huo voice low.

“It seems everything is up to us now. However, the Hall Master has given us a year, so we will meet again eventually. Before that, we must seize the time to improve our strength and not fall behind!”

Lu Xingchen nodded emphatically.

“That’s true!”

With that, he turned to Xu Qing and said in a deep voice, “Third Senior Sister, I’m afraid I can’t fulfill Master’s Entrustment. Among the four of us, your strength is the weakest. You must act within your capabilities in everything. If the power of the spirit talisman is triggered, do not enter a second time.”

Xu Qing frowned, a little unconvinced.

“Although I know you’re concerned about me, why do those words sound so uncomfortable? Don’t worry, I will definitely make it into the top hundred, even without your protection!”

Lu Xingchen gave a wry smile, “I’m sorry, Third Senior Sister, I spoke wrongly. In that case, let’s meet in the finals!”

“Okay, see you in the finals!”

Immediately, the four also flew side by side into the Teleportation Array.

They had wasted some time chatting, and by the time the four entered the Teleportation Array, there were few people left on the stone platform.

Once everyone had entered the Teleportation Array, Wu Zhicangqiong and Fu Zhizhoumo immediately left, leaving only Ning Zhifeng and Zhong Ruiyi on the high platform.

Zhong Ruiyi looked at Ning Zhifeng and said with a smile, “Alliance Master Ning, it’s only been a few years, but why do I feel like you’ve become much stronger?”

Ning Zhifeng nodded slightly, a smile playing on Her Excellency Xin Huo lips, feeling a little smug.

“Hall Master Zhong, your insight is as keen as ever. I just Breakthrough to Eight-Star Martial Saint last month.”

Hearing this, Zhong Ruiyi’s face was filled with surprise.

“Then you are truly impressive! Before, when we were in the same Realm, it was a three-seven split between us. Now that you’ve Breakthrough again, I absolutely cannot be your opponent.”

Ning Zhifeng chuckled, “That’s because Hall Master Zhong didn’t use the human emperor brush during our last encounter. If you could fully unleash the power of this Divine Artifact, even I, as I am now, would not be your match.”

Zhong Ruiyi nodded slightly and said softly, “That is indeed true. But successive Hall Masters of the Human Emperor Hall have an agreement: unless it’s a matter of life or death, the power of the human emperor brush cannot be used casually.”

Ning Zhifeng gave a wry smile, “Having it is better than not having it. The Human Emperor Hall and the Righteous Path Alliance were both founded by Her Excellency Xin Huo Kindling, yet he left the human emperor brush at the Human Emperor Hall instead of the Righteous Path Alliance. He’s truly too biased.”

Hearing this, Zhong Ruiyi covered her mouth and chuckled.

“Hahaha, it’s rare for me to see Alliance Master Ning act so childish. By the way, why isn’t your son participating in the Martial Arts Convention? This is a great Opportunity.”

Ning Zhifeng smiled wryly again: “I can’t help it. That boy is very stubborn and doesn’t listen to my commands at all. Ever since he Breakthrough to the Venerable Realm, he’s been traveling outside, and even I don’t know where he is. How could I call him back!”

“Ah, this…”

Zhong Ruiyi was at a loss for words for a moment.

Ning Zhifeng waved Her Excellency Xin Huo hand and said with a wry smile, “Never mind, let’s not think about these annoying things. Let him do whatever he wants. What about you, Hall Master Zhong? Your son didn’t come either. What’s going on? I heard Zhong Li is quite obedient.”

Zhong Ruiyi smiled and said, “He has more important things to do. When we meet next time, he will definitely give Alliance Master Ning a surprise.”

Hearing this, Ning Zhifeng was startled.

“Oh? Zhong Li got an even greater Opportunity than the Martial Arts Convention? As expected of the son of the Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall! Now that you mention it, I’m rather looking forward to it.”

Zhong Ruiyi continued, “Her Excellency Xin Huo Kindling has been Cultivating in the Righteous Path Alliance. I wonder how her progress is?”

Ning Zhifeng nodded slightly and said with a smile, “Her Excellency Xin Huo Kindling’s talent is truly too strong; she is already Breakthrough to the Saint Realm. She’s so powerful, I wonder if that boy Lu Xingchen can handle her?”

Zhong Ruiyi covered her mouth and chuckled again.

“Well, that’s Lu Xingchen’s business, not ours. Sometimes, being a kept man is also a good option.”

As the two were chatting, several streaks of light suddenly appeared on the stone platform.

A few people’s spirit talismans were triggered, sending them back to the starting point.

Seeing this, neither of them was too surprised.

The teleportation was completely random, and with such a large base number, there were bound to be a few unlucky ones who were killed as soon as they landed.

Zhong Ruiyi sat upright in her chair and said loudly, “Young friends, you may choose to leave now or restart. But please remember, if you encounter danger again, the price will be your life!”
