155: Zuo Hongyang was tricked, the second generation disciple of Jidao Martial Arts School!

“Heh heh, the Martial Saint Secret Realm has three stages of missions. How about we bet on who, Li Ziyu or my Ji Dao Martial Hall, completes the first stage mission first?”

The Martial Saint Secret Realm operates in the form of missions.

It is divided into three stages of missions; completing the first stage allows entry into the second.

However, the missions inside are extremely difficult. It is said that no one who has entered the Martial Saint Secret Realm before has ever completed the first stage mission and entered the second.

Tianwei Star chuckled and, with a sweep of his right hand over his storage bracelet, a shimmering, purplish, crystal-like ore appeared in his hand.

Tianwei Star looked at Left Hongyang and said, “Let’s use this piece of Xingyao Wusheng ore as the stake!”

“Hiss! Is that Xingyao Wusheng ore? This is a top-tier material for crafting exclusive weapons for Mental Power Masters. One gram of it is more precious than a kilogram of vibranium. This large a piece, it must be at least ten kilograms, right!?”

“Tsk, as expected of an Eighth-Level Grandmaster. To take out such a large piece of Xingyao Wusheng ore as a stake just like that… a Level 6 Martial Artists like me probably couldn’t afford it in a lifetime.”

“Such a large piece of Xingyao Wusheng ore could only be produced by a Grandmaster from a wealthy faction like the Ji Dao Martial Hall. Ordinary Level 8 Grandmasters wouldn’t have it.”

As soon as the Xingyao Wusheng ore was brought out, sounds of swallowing and heavy breathing immediately arose all around.

Everyone stared at the ore in Tianwei Star’s hand with greedy eyes.

However, upon remembering the strength of the Xingyao Wusheng ore’s owner, everyone jolted, and their gazes instantly cleared.

“You’re even taking out Xingyao Wusheng ore as a stake? Left Laogou, when did you become so generous?”

Left Hongyang stared at Tianwei Star’s ore, his face full of suspicion.

There must be something unusual when things go against the norm.

He understood Tianwei Star’s character very well.

Tianwei Star was not someone who would show his hand without seeing a clear advantage. Putting such a valuable item as a stake must mean there’s a trick.

“Heh heh, what’s wrong, Lao Zuo? Are you scared?”

“It seems you’re not so confident in Li Ziyu’s strength after all.”

“I won’t take advantage of you. I heard you just acquired a Level 8 fierce beast’s core.”

“Its value is equivalent to my Xingyao Wusheng ore. Let’s use that as the stake. If you don’t dare, then take back what you just said about Li Ziyu and apologize to my Ji Dao Martial Hall!”

Tianwei Star looked at Left Hongyang with a mocking expression.

This made anger flash in Left Hongyang’s eyes, and he snorted coldly, “Good! I’ll bet!”

“Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”

Left Hongyang snorted coldly and, without further ado, directly took out a core shimmering with lightning from his storage bracelet.

This was a core he had obtained after fortunately encountering a dying Level 8 lightning-type fierce beast in a subterranean cave and killing it.

Upon reaching the Level 8 Grandmaster realm, cultivation differs from other realms.

Below Level 8, cultivation only requires increasing vital energy.

But at the Level 8 Grandmaster realm, to advance, one needs to absorb elemental power compatible with one’s body, in addition to increasing one’s vital energy.

For example, Tianwei Star.

He is a lightning-element martial artist, so he needs to absorb lightning elements during cultivation.

The lightning elements contained in a Level 8 lightning-type fierce beast’s core are enough for Tianwei Star to cultivate for half a year.

A Level 8 lightning-type fierce beast’s core, if put on the market, would definitely be priceless.

However, Left Hongyang was also going all out.

He just didn’t believe it.

This time, only Ji Wudi from the Ji Dao Martial Hall could enter the Martial Saint Secret Realm.

Ji Wudi was instantly defeated by Li Ziyu in one move at the National Youth Martial Arts University League. Could he possibly stir up any trouble now?

“Good! It’s a deal!”

Seeing Left Hongyang agree, a barely perceptible hint of joy flashed in Tianwei Star’s eyes, then vanished.

A bad premonition suddenly arose in Left Hongyang’s heart. Could Tianwei Star have a backup plan?

However, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t imagine anyone whose strength could surpass Li Ziyu, so he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Just then.

In the distant sky.

Rumbling sounds came.

Several airships appeared over Wu Sheng Town, approaching from afar.

The students participating in the Martial Saint Secret Realm had arrived.

The first to land.

Was the Ji Dao Martial Hall’s airship.

The hatch opened.

First, an old man whose aura was no less than Tianwei Star’s walked out of the hatch.

Behind him, followed a young man with bronzed skin and a Short Hair Youth haircut.

The young man’s eyes were bright and piercing, and his entire demeanor was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the sky.

After the young man came out, Ji Wudi followed closely behind.

Tianwei Star looked at the people who walked out, his lips curling up uncontrollably. He turned to the puzzled Left Hongyang and said blandly, “Lao Zuo, I forgot to tell you, by the oral decree of Supreme Path Martial Saint, my Ji Dao Martial Hall is allowed to send second-generation disciples into the Martial Saint Secret Realm this time.”

“Haha!”

“You just prepare that Level 8 core.”

“I’ll come get it later.”

With that, Tianwei Star threw his head back and laughed heartily, his face full of delight.

“Damn it! You tricked me!”

“The Martial Saint Secret Realm only allows participants under twenty-five years old. For your Ji Dao Martial Hall to send second-generation disciples, isn’t that a bit against the rules?”

Left Hongyang’s expression was first stunned, then his face instantly turned liver-colored, and he questioned, his voice as dark as water.

After the Martial Saint Secret Realm appeared, various forces contended for a period.

But in the end, they found that no one could do anything to the other, and continued contention would only harm their respective interests.

Finally, all major forces collectively set a rule.

The Martial Saint Secret Realm only allows people under twenty-five years old to participate.

This has remained unchanged for a hundred years.

But today, the people from Ji Dao Martial Hall actually sent second-generation disciples to participate?

If he remembered correctly, the second-generation disciples of Ji Dao Martial Hall are generally over twenty-eight years old, right?

And they are all Level 6 Martial Artistss!

“Hmph! What a load of crap rules! Rules are made by the strong! What Supreme Path Martial Saint says is the rule!”

“If you don’t agree, you can go argue with Supreme Path Martial Saint.”

Tianwei Star snorted disdainfully, and the old man who had come down also looked curious.

After Tianwei Star told him about the bet with Left Hongyang, the old man also looked at Left Hongyang as if he were an idiot.

Left Hongyang was rendered speechless by Tianwei Star’s words, so angry that his fists clenched until they cracked.

But even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to argue with Supreme Path Martial Saint.

Not to mention him, even the principals of the Four Famous Schools combined wouldn’t dare to argue with Supreme Path Martial Saint.

The strong can disregard rules.

When encountering such a situation, he could only endure it.

“Ah, Lao Zuo, just look on the bright side…”

“It’s just a Level 8 lightning-type core. Work hard for a few more years, and you might even get another one.”

President Sun and President Li Yulong comforted him from the side with sympathetic expressions.

The Ji Dao Martial Hall breaking the rules and sending second-generation disciples to participate—there was nothing anyone could do about such a thing.

The second-generation disciples of Ji Dao Martial Hall all have at least the strength of a Level 6 Martial Artists.

Looking at the surging vital energy emanating from the Short Hair Youth, his strength is estimated to be at least Sixth-level Intermediate.

The Ji Dao Martial Hall breaking the rules to send a Sixth-level Intermediate Martial Artist to participate in the secret realm seems to be aimed at Li Ziyu.

At this moment.

Modu University’s airship also landed, coming to a steady stop in the open space of the town.

The hatch opened, and Yu Ningmo was the first to emerge from the airship.

Li Ziyu followed closely behind.

After that came Lei Zhan, Yin Miaomiao, and others.
