154: The six elders of Jidao Martial Arts School are betting!
The desert on the furthest border of Great Xia.
The setting sun was like blood, gilding the sand dunes.
A small town stood alone in the desert.
This town had a name of extraordinary significance, called Wu Sheng Town.
Following the town and going another hundred kilometers deeper into the desert was the entrance to the Martial Saint Secret Realm.
At this time, the Martial Saint Secret Realm, which opened once every five years, was about to open, and the town was exceptionally lively.
Various types of airships were parked in the town.
Although only specific people could enter the Martial Saint Secret Realm, there were also strong individuals from countless forces, bringing their disciples to witness the opening of the Martial Saint Secret Realm.
Although they couldn't enter, so many Martial Artists gathered together was also a good opportunity to exchange cultivation experiences.
Everyone gathered in groups of three or five to exchange experiences.
Among them, in the center of the town square, the auras of three middle-aged men were the strongest.
"Lao Zuo, tsk tsk, you old fellow are still so lucky, recruiting a super genius like Li Ziyu for your Modu University."
"If I had known how talented Li Ziyu was back then, I would have recruited him to my Kyoto Martial Arts University no matter what."
President Li Yulong of Kyoto Martial Arts University said to Left Hongyang, who was standing in the center, with a sour, envious, jealous, and hateful expression.
This time, when the Martial Saint Secret Realm opened, some people from their Kyoto Martial Arts University would also enter.
The school had dispatched them in advance to survey the environment and do security work.
After all, those who could enter the Martial Saint Secret Realm this time were all geniuses. If foreign forces or cult organizations took the opportunity to cause trouble and lead to the fall of geniuses,
that would definitely be an indelible loss for the entire Great Xia.
President Li Yulong looked at the smug Left Hongyang and involuntarily recalled the scene when he went to Xu Jiang City to recruit students with Left Hongyang.
Thinking of the achievements Li Ziyu had made in the National Youth Martial Arts University League, President Li Yulong regretted so much that he wished he could bang his head against the wall.
If he had known that Li Ziyu's talent was so monstrous, he should have recruited Li Ziyu to their Kyoto Martial Arts University at any cost!
"Hehe, it's just good luck. Wang Xinyang from your school is not weak either. He became a Level 5 Martial Artist at such a young age. His future is promising."
Left Hongyang chuckled, his tone very modest.
However, the pride and arrogance in his eyes could not be hidden.
During the National Youth Martial Arts University League, he happened to be transferred to guard against a demon cave riot.
It was only later that he learned about Li Ziyu defeating Ji Dao Martial Hall in the National Youth Martial Arts University League and clearing the ferocious beast arena.
It truly amazed him for a long time.
"Tsk, you really got a good deal and are still acting modest. He's only a freshman and has already reached the combat power of a Level 6 Martial Artists. Is that something that can be achieved by good luck?"
President Sun of Canglan Martial Arts University also came over. He was also one of those who went to Xu Jiang City to recruit Li Ziyu back then.
Now, he also regretted so much that his intestines turned green because he didn't recruit Li Ziyu back then.
He had just been scolded by the principal two days ago:
"Li Ziyu's talent is truly unparalleled. I estimate that Li Ziyu might obtain the Martial Saint Inheritance in this Martial Saint Secret Realm!"
President Sun gazed towards the direction of the secret realm for a while, his tone full of emotion.
The Martial Saint Secret Realm had been open for so many years, but no one had ever obtained it.
However, President Sun felt that with the talent and strength Li Ziyu had displayed, he might really obtain the Martial Saint Inheritance this time!
"Hmm, among those entering the Martial Saint Secret Realm this time, Li Ziyu's strength is the strongest.
If anyone can obtain the Martial Saint Inheritance, it must definitely be Li Ziyu!"
President Li Yulong also echoed, making Left Hongyang laugh heartily, his face beaming with joy.
But at this moment,
a discordant voice sounded behind them.
"I don't think so. Did you forget about my Ji Dao Martial Hall?"
"Ji Dao Martial Hall's Eighth Elder—Tianwei Star, how did he get here?"
Left Hongyang looked towards the source of the voice, and when he clearly saw the face of the newcomer, his expression instantly became serious.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man in a black martial arts uniform, with a mustache and a lean, refined face.
He walked with a powerful and imposing aura, like a dragon and a tiger, and his aura was like a vast ocean.
President Sun and President Li Yulong also looked a bit displeased when they saw the newcomer.
Ji Dao Martial Hall had a Head and a Deputy Head from top to bottom.
Below them were the Eight Elders, second only to the Deputy Head.
They were named after the top eight of the Thirty-six Heavenly Spirits.
From top to bottom, they were First Elder Tiankui Xing!
Second Elder Tiangang Xing!
Third Elder Tianji Xing!
Fourth Elder Tianxian Xing!
Fifth Elder Heavenly Courage Star, Fifth Elder!
Sixth Elder Tianxiong Xing!
Seventh Elder Tianmeng Xing!
Eighth Elder Tianwei Star!
All eight Elders of Ji Dao Martial Hall were Level 8 Senior Grandmasters!
Each of them was even stronger than the deans of their Four Famous Schools!
And this mustached, lean middle-aged man who came was Ji Dao Martial Hall's Eighth Elder—Tianwei Star!
Tianwei Star didn't care about their expressions at all, walked directly in front of the three, and said indifferently:
"Lao Zuo, so many years have passed, and you still love to boast so much?
You just said that Li Ziyu might obtain the inheritance of this Martial Saint Secret Realm?
Hehe, did you forget that there are also people from my Ji Dao Martial Hall entering the Martial Saint Secret Realm this time?"
"Hmph! You're the one who loves to boast so much! I'm just stating a fact."
"If Li Ziyu can't get the Martial Saint Secret Realm inheritance, then could it be that Ji Wudi, that defeated general from your Ji Dao Martial Hall, can get it?"
Left Hongyang sneered at Tianwei Star.
He and Tianwei Star were once schoolmates, both studying at Modu Martial Arts University, and once, they were both considered the two great prodigies of the school.
However, their ambitions were different.
After graduation, Tianwei Star joined Ji Dao Martial Hall, wholeheartedly pursuing the martial dao, and refused to contribute to the country.
From then on, the two went their separate ways.
However, Tianwei Star's strength was now one realm ahead of him.
He was currently a Level 8 Intermediate Martial Artist.
And Tianwei Star was already a Level 8 Senior Martial Artist.
However, even though Tianwei Star's strength was stronger than his,
Left Hongyang could not tolerate Tianwei Star mocking Li Ziyu, the pride of Modu University.
"I wonder which martial hall's disciple was instantly defeated by a freshman from my Modu University in the National Youth Martial Arts University League."
"And you still have the nerve to talk nonsense here??"
"I think your Ji Dao Martial Hall is nothing special, you can't even beat someone from my academy faction with one hand!"
"Left Laogou, you dare to insult my Ji Dao Martial Hall! You're courting death!"
Hearing Left Hongyang's sarcasm, Tianwei Star's face instantly turned cold, so gloomy that it seemed to drip water.
He suddenly took a step forward.
In an instant, an overwhelming surge of vital energy erupted from his body!
The surrounding dust was stirred up, and in the town, people from other forces who were waiting for the Martial Saint Secret Realm to open were suppressed and trembled under Tianwei Star's vital energy, their faces filled with horror.
The aftermath of Level 8 Grandmasters fighting could shake them to death.
They couldn't afford to provoke them.
"Hmph! Others may fear you, but I, Left Hongyang, do not! Do you want to start a war by daring to insult the genius of my Modu Martial Arts University!?"
Facing the pressure of someone one realm stronger than himself, Left Hongyang showed no weakness, circulating his vital energy to meet it.
President Sun and President Li Yulong also silently circulated their vital energy, jointly resisting Tianwei Star.
Although there was competition between their four academies usually, when facing Ji Dao Martial Hall, they always united against the outside.
Four auras intertwined.
For a moment, the entire Wu Sheng Town seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
The people from other forces around them carefully dared not even make a sound, fearing being implicated.
A moment later,
seeing that neither could do anything to the other, Tianwei Star chuckled, restrained his pressure, and looked at Left Hongyang:
"Hehe, I didn't expect the academy faction to still be so united."
"Since Left Laogou you are so confident in Li Ziyu, why don't we make a bet?"
"What bet?"
Seeing Tianwei Star withdraw his pressure, Left Hongyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Tianwei Star's strength was indeed a bit stronger than his. Although he was not afraid, if they really started fighting, it would inevitably affect innocent people.
This was not what he wanted to see.
However, hearing that Tianwei Star wanted to make a bet with him, and thinking of Tianwei Star's old cunning personality, Left Hongyang's face showed vigilance:
"What do you want to bet?"
