#1184 - Chapter 1184 Great tonic pill!
Ye Kong yanked open the stone door, and Elder Wang stood outside with a gloomy and displeased expression, staring at Ye Kong.
“Elder Wang, why are you here?” Ye Kong was extremely surprised. The last time he saw Elder Wang was when he saw him leaving the Tai Chu Academy under the cover of night.
Why did he suddenly return, and moreover, why did he come looking for him as soon as he returned?
Judging from the frequency of encountering Elder Wang recently, it was truly abnormal.
“I heard you're not participating in the upcoming selection for the Sect Ranking Competition?” Elder Wang directly cut to the chase.
“That's right.”
“Why?”
“I don't think it's necessary.”
“Absurd! Is that your reason for not participating in the selection?”
“Regardless of the reason, I ultimately won't participate.” Ye Kong still insisted on his idea.
Ye Kong, a whole person weighing over a hundred pounds, had a hundred pounds of rebellious spirit acting up.
“No, you must participate.” Elder Wang's attitude became firm.
Ye Kong stopped talking but didn't intend to go either.
Finding that strictness didn't work, Elder Wang immediately changed his approach.
“The Tai Chu Academy has clearly stipulated that each division must send participants. There's no limit to the number, but there must be at least one participant.”
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Ye Kong, Elder Wang deliberately used the Tai Chu Academy's rules to put pressure on him.
“If you don't participate, I'll have to consider how many points to give you in this year's annual assessment.”
The annual assessment is extremely important for newly entered disciples!
Clearly, this rule was aimed directly at Ye Kong. Among Elder Wang's subordinates, Ye Kong was his only disciple, so he couldn't let him not participate.
However, Ye Kong didn't intend to contend against the entire Tai Chu Academy. Participating was just participating, just registering. As for the outcome of the selection, no one could choose.
He wasn't necessarily determined to achieve anything.
Thus, Gongsun Qing and the others saw a familiar face among the Tai Chu Academy's disciples preparing for the competition: Ye Kong.
“Oh, Ye Kong, didn't you say you weren't participating in the selection?” Zhang Tie walked over and asked.
“Plans changed. I suddenly wanted to come and take a look.” Ye Kong replied somewhat awkwardly.
“That's great! Then we can cultivate together.” Shengge was the happiest person to know that Ye Kong was coming.
“Don't be too happy. Ye Kong is here to compete against us. We've all seen Ye Kong's spiritual power. Think about who can beat Ye Kong now?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Ye Kong's arrival had already secured a spot in the main competition.
The feeling of friends suddenly becoming opponents was completely different.
“No, everyone will rely on their own abilities. It's still uncertain who will make it to the main competition.” Ye Kong said, but it was unconvincing and he could only shut up.
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
Even more awkward was that Shen Fan Shuang also came.
As an equally outstanding disciple, Shen Fan Shuang had always been an existence that couldn't be ignored. Wherever she went, she was the center of attention, a crane standing among chickens.
Until Ye Kong's arrival, everyone's attention shifted, diverting to Ye Kong.
“This junior brother's spiritual power is quite extraordinary.” After speaking, she pointed to Zhang Tie's position, so that everyone could clearly see that she was talking about Zhang Tie and not Ye Kong.
Zhang Tie's eyes widened.
“Are you talking about me, Senior Sister Shen?” Zhang Tie immediately blurted out upon hearing this, but seeing Shen Fan Shuang's departing figure, he chased after her, unwilling to give up.
Ye Kong looked at the two of them, and it seemed that things were somewhat beyond his expectations?
Oh well, everything's a mess.
After this little interlude ended, everyone began the tense preparation stage.
Only Ye Kong sat under the shade of a tree, eating fresh fruits, and occasionally kicking his legs and stretching, looking completely like he was slacking off from beginning to end, which was really puzzling.
As for why he didn't return to his cave, he was simply too lazy to move.
Just then, Ye Kong heard a very familiar mechanical voice.
Having not heard it for so long, Ye Kong thought he had misheard.
“Ye Kong, is Ye Kong there?” The system repeated twice, and this time Ye Kong knew he hadn't misheard.
Why did the system, which had been silent for days, suddenly revive?
He almost thought the good system was gone…
Could it be…
“Here, here, here.” Ye Kong replied mentally.
“Notice: For this joint Upper Realm Sect Ranking Competition, you must enter the main competition.” The system issued a cold command.
“Can I not listen?” Ye Kong wondered why everyone wanted him to participate in this damn competition.
Clearly, I just want to live a carefree life here until old age, hey!
“No, you must execute the command. You must enter the main competition.” The system didn't allow rebuttal.
“Then let's discuss it. I'm working so hard to participate in the selection, what rewards will I get in the end? Otherwise, I'll be at a great loss.”
The system didn't reply.
“Hey, don't play dead at this time.”
Ye Kong knocked on the system, and this time Ye Kong became anxious.
“Of course, upon entering the main competition, you'll receive a big gift package of all the items that enhance spiritual power in the otherworld secret chamber, the latest version of weapons, and the most comprehensive cultivation methods, all for you to choose from. The further you go, the greater the gifts and rewards you'll receive.”
This time, the system was really bleeding heavily.
It must be said that those novelties in the secret chamber had been in Ye Kong's mind many times. Ye Kong had long wanted to possess them.
It's just that every time the system was stingy, giving only a dime or two, not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
But this time, why did the system suddenly make such a big move?
Could it be that the system and the Tai Chu Academy are on the same front, with the goal of ensuring that the Tai Chu Academy continues to maintain its title as the number one sect in the world?
Ye Kong directly asked.
However, the system didn't reply and exited directly.
Oh, feeling guilty.
Ye Kong suddenly stood up, looking at the people in front of him, he was clearly completely different from when he came.
Ye Kong's eyes were shining, and he used a bit more force when wielding the Tai Chi fist.
Several people looked over.
Just now, Ye Kong, who was lying under the shade of a tree looking leisurely, suddenly started cultivating diligently as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Could it be that he really wanted to enter the main competition?
Unexpectedly, this Ye Kong is playing a two-faced game.
Ye Kong didn't care what others thought. This time, he was determined to enter the main competition. Maybe he could gain other rewards if he rushed forward.
As for the false reputation of the number one sect in the world, and the inexplicable flattery and following of fellow disciples, none of it had any impact on Ye Kong.
The generous rewards offered by the system were the most tempting to Ye Kong.
The latest weapons, the great treasure cultivation methods, the Zhiyang tonic pills, are all mine!
