Chapter 251 How strong is this number one? [Thanks to the leader of "Da Dao Shushu 0 Stepping on the Snow to Find Plums" for the reward]
"Hoo...hoo..."
Xu Ziyang could hear the sound of qi and blood rushing in his chest. Due to the high-speed operation of his body, the smoke around his body was transpiring, as if shrouded in a layer of dancing flames.
He clenched his fists, took a hard step, and then another.
This is the fifteenth floor of the ladder, and there are very few people who can get here. Every step he takes is to challenge himself, not to compete with anyone.
The majestic mountain, the steep stone stack, his solitary figure is like a big banner, no matter how much force he bears, his back is still straight.
Boom!
With every step he crushed the rocks under his feet.
finally.
When the vision was almost blurred, a ray of light appeared ahead. Is there the end of the road?
He gritted his teeth and rushed over.
Whoosh—
Guanghua flashed, and his figure appeared on the top of Tongtian Peak, in front of the light and shadow of the stone tablet.
Xu Ziyang raised his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the huge stone tablet. On the stone tablet, a high-ranking name had already been imprinted on it, and it seemed that it would not change.
Chu Liang...
And under this is his own name, Xu Ziyang.
Lost again?
The moment Xu Ziyang saw this name, he couldn't believe it. I cut all the obstacles and moved forward, but I still lost?
Looking down slightly, Chu Liang's figure was standing in front of the stele. It seemed that he had just come out not long ago, and he was still looking around.
He looks much calmer than himself, looks elegant and doesn't seem to be exerting much force.
How can this be?
Xu Ziyang's eyebrows gathered together.
It wasn't just him who was shocked, but also the people from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths watching the ceremony on the high platform.
Those who have noticed the name Chu Liang before are only a few after all. Most of the people who came to Shushan to watch the ceremony paid more attention to the names of Xu Ziyang and Jiang Yuebai.
But at this moment, unexpectedly, a little disciple who was not too famous before completely stole the limelight from those two, and brazenly won the first place in this trial!
How strong is this number one?
The representatives of the Immortal Sect, who were belatedly aware, focused their gazes on Chu Liang, seeing his harmless smile on his face, and recorded this figure in their hearts one after another.
Wang Xuanling especially looked grave.
After watching the whole process, he could clearly see where Xu Ziyang lost.
In terms of cultivation base, his own apprentice must be stronger, but he cut through all the worries as soon as he came up, striding forward without nostalgia. Chu Liang really carried all the obstacles forward and walked hard all the way.
But in the middle of the ladder, the external pressure gradually increases, and all the obstacles will be transformed into a powerful boost to help people move forward.
At this time, Xu Ziyang was at a disadvantage.
Relying on the impetus of many illusions, Chu Liang easily climbed to the top of the Stairway Stone Stack with almost no effort in the second half. After being the first one to climb to the top, his ranking on the stone tablet will naturally not change again, and he is undoubtedly the first.
If it is said that Chu Liang won by luck, it is not entirely true.
Because there are some disciples who made the same choice, like Lin Bei, who also don't want to give up their obsessions, but those disciples don't have the strength to carry all the obstacles to the middle stage.
Chu Liang won the first place, more like a combination of strength and wisdom plus a little luck.
Wang Xuanling flew down beside Xu Ziyang, and put a hand on his shoulder. In an instant, a warm current washed away all his fatigue.
"Master..." Xu Ziyang showed shame.
"It's okay." Wang Xuanling seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and shook his head lightly: "As long as you have some insights from today's Dao Xin trial, winning or losing doesn't matter."
"Didn't I always tell you that it doesn't matter whether you win or lose? Why did you get the first place so casually?" The emperor's daughter Feng also flew to Chu Liang's side and said loudly: "You made people work so hard to get the second place!" Where do you put your face?"
"snort."
Wang Xuanling could only flick his sleeves and let out a cold snort.
In the dark room, the phantom of the man in white robe meets the man in black again.
"The Shushan summit has finally started..." The man in black smiled grimly: "It must be very lively, right?"
"It's just the first day of the audition, and Chu Liang won the first place again. It really makes people angry." The white-robed man gritted his teeth with some personal resentment.
"Don't worry, Shushan will be in chaos when we plan to launch, you can leave him to deal with." The man in black said.
"Forget it." The white-robed man thought for a while, then shook his head: "This kid has a bit of evil, and the two swordsmen can't kill him several times. I don't have the confidence."
"Hehe, you are actually afraid of a brat." The man in black laughed.
"Have you never seen his magic?" The man in white robe asked back.
The man in black paused, and then said: "No matter what, in the face of the boss's plan, he can't change anything."
"What day does the boss plan to launch?" the white robe said humanely, "There is no exact time until now."
"Because we are still waiting for the news from Hades Sect. After all, Shushan is extraordinary, and some preparations need to be made by them." The man in black said: "The more we reach this juncture, the less we can be impatient."
"You are not in a hurry, but I can't wait to leave." The white-robed man said angrily, "Do you know that Elder Dan Ding finally chose his closed disciple."
"Oh? The one who inherited his mantle?" The man in black asked, "Haven't you been staring at this position for a long time? After all, is there a more talented newcomer?"
"Yes." The white-robed man nodded and said, "And this person is Chu Liang."
"It's him again?" The man in black was surprised.
Suddenly felt that the frequency of this name appeared too high.
Why is it always him?
"This kid is not only cultivating evil, but also alchemy?" He couldn't believe it.
"He refined the top-grade green pill in just one month, which attracted the favor of Elder Dan Ding. The most annoying thing is..." The white-robed man gritted his teeth: "He also refused."
Elder Danding has been looking for a real successor, and wants to become the chief alchemist of Shushan after his fall. Several direct disciples all know his thoughts, so they have been working hard by his side in recent years to show that they want to win.
The man in white robe is no exception.
But who knows that Elder Dan Ding still fell in love with a disciple outside of Dan Ding Hall, that's fine, this person actually refused!
Several personal disciples have been competing for this position for many years, but he dismisses it. Everyone will be angry about this.
"It seems that we need to tell the boss, and put his importance ahead of Xu Ziyang and Jiang Yuebai." The man in black said to himself.
A genius who can make alchemy is more worthy of attention than a pure genius of cultivation, there is no doubt about it.
…
"Ah Choo."
Chu Liang sneezed again, but he didn't care. I've gotten used to being talked about behind my back a lot.
What's more, he has more important things to do at this moment.
In front of you is a huge open-air square. There are hundreds of tables on the square, with a distance of several feet between each table. This time, not only the disciples of the peaks participated, but also the masters of the peaks and some elders, who also sat at the table and waited in person.
There were three people sitting in front of Chu Liang, all staring at the table in front of them with serious faces, on which there were densely packed white jade mahjong tiles.
At this time, it was already the second day after he won the first place in the ladder. Today is the Shushan Mahjong Competition!
The atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than yesterday's Stairway!
On Mount Shu, many people can accept you saying that he is weak, but they cannot accept you saying that he is bad at poker.
In the first round of auditions for the mahjong competition, the contestants will be randomly assigned together, and four people will play sixteen games at a table. In the end, the person with the most chips will advance, and the remaining three will be eliminated.
The other three disciples are also new faces. They didn’t know Chu Liang before, but they obviously knew Chu Liang—after the mountain **** sacrifice and yesterday’s ladder road, there are very few people in Shushan who don’t know Chu Liang.
"Brother Chu is also participating in the mahjong competition." A disciple greeted.
"I'm just here to see." Chu Liang showed a false smile, "I don't know how to fight."
Having said that, the other three immediately smiled, and someone comforted: "It's okay, beginners are the luckiest."
Chu Liang opened his innocent eyes wide: "Really?"
Good morning.
Thanks to the two leaders of "Don't care about it" and "Da Dao Xiushu 0 Stepping on the snow to find plums" for their rewards, and I have returned to 44.
