#1191 - Chapter 1191 Three Legion

Zhang Tie walked over step by step until he reached Ye Kong's side. He gently patted Ye Kong on the shoulder and said, "I won the match, Senior Brother Ye. Why aren't you happy for me?"

"No, I'm very happy." Ye Kong glanced at Zhang Tie a few times, then turned and left the Great Martial Arena.

"Strange, everyone has been acting strange lately." Sheng Ge looked at Zhang Tie. "You've become a lot stronger recently. It seems that diligent cultivation is indeed effective."

"Yes, then how about compared to your Senior Brother Ye?" Zhang Tie asked.

Sheng Ge looked at Zhang Tie with a puzzled expression, thinking, "Is that even a question? You'll need to cultivate for another hundred years." But not wanting to discourage Zhang Tie, she simply said, "Possibly, if Senior Brother Zhang Tie cultivates even more diligently, he might become the most outstanding disciple of our Tai Chu Academy."

These words sounded a bit fake, but Zhang Tie found them very pleasing.

The Sect Ranking Tournament continued as usual. Each sect quickly adjusted their personnel rotation to prepare for the competition in their best form.

On the stage, the representatives of each sect praised the excellent performance of their disciples. The faces of the representatives of the defeated sects looked very unhappy.

The first day of the Sect Ranking Tournament ended.

Tai Chu Academy ranked first among all the sects with a complete victory.

Following closely behind was Yue Feng Mountain. The other sects were a bit lacking. It seemed that this year's biggest opponent was Yue Feng Mountain.

When the elders of Tai Chu Academy summarized the day's events in the evening, it was clear that Sima Shizun was overjoyed. Even Ye Kong, the strongest disciple of Tai Chu Academy, had not participated, yet they were still able to secure the first position with just a few other disciples. It seemed that the results of this year's Sect Ranking Tournament would still be gratifying.

However, Elder Wang, who was beside him, did not think so. It was obvious that many people from other sects and families were hiding their strength. The disciples sent out by Tai Chu Academy were basically middle-tier horses. It was only natural to win by using middle-tier horses to fight against lower-tier and middle-tier horses.

But no one knew the strength of the top-tier horses of other sects.

It was too early to be happy now.

However, he was too lazy to say anything discouraging and couldn't be bothered to offer even a few perfunctory words of congratulations, so he left early.

He happened to run into Ye Kong, who was preoccupied. The master and disciple remained silent and walked towards the medicine field with great interest.

This strange action naturally caught Ye Kong's attention. "Master, what is this?"

"They are growing at the wrong time. Leaving them will only waste the land." After pulling up the herbs, Elder Wang crushed them, roots and all, and used them as fertilizer for other herbs.

"Master seems to have something on his mind?" Ye Kong tentatively asked.

"You have no less worries than I do, so you don't need to worry about me." Elder Wang said, but then felt that the frustration in his heart had nowhere to go, so he made a big move that night.

"Does Master feel that this year's Sect Ranking Tournament is different? Slightly abnormal?" Ye Kong stopped Elder Wang.

Now it seemed that the two masters and disciples were of one mind, unable to sleep during this long night.

They always felt that things were not so simple. The secret of the back mountain, the strange Zhang Tie, the many people of unknown origin, the inexplicable regression of the disciples of other sects—all these things revealed a strange and unusual atmosphere.

It was just that everyone was blinded by the superficial calm, and no one knew that this was the prelude to a storm. It was also unknown how much of an impact this storm would have on Tai Chu Academy.

There were just too many things to say.

When masters and disciples work together, their strength can break metal.

"Master, I need you to do me a favor." Ye Kong led Elder Wang to Zhang Tie's other courtyard. The two of them clung to the eaves. Only when it was completely quiet inside did they quietly enter.

Zhang Tie was sleeping soundly. Ye Kong lit a mesmerization incense, making Zhang Tie sleep peacefully so that he could handle things easily.

After busying about for a long time, the two withdrew from Zhang Tie's other courtyard.

Ye Kong got the answer he wanted.

On the way back, Ye Kong felt much more relaxed. He promised Elder Wang, "Master, don't worry. No matter what level of opponent, I am confident that I can take him down."

Elder Wang felt relieved upon hearing Ye Kong's words.

Ye Kong returned to his cave and hated himself for speaking too quickly without thinking. What did he mean by being confident in taking them down? What if the opponent was a monstrous beast? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

"System, System, are you there? Can you come and help?"

Ye Kong was helpless.

Now he could only go all out. If he really couldn't beat them, he would probably be scolded to death for a while.

Alas, Ye Kong couldn't sleep now.

Ye Kong, who couldn't sleep, entered his divine consciousness and began to fly into the preparation grounds of each sect, wanting to spy on them.

Most of the disciples of the sects had gone to bed early, except for two sects.

One was Changqing Academy, which was ranked relatively low on the first day. They were still secretly practicing. In the dark, many of the contestants' moves were ones that Ye Kong had never seen before.

They even prepared hidden weapons.

Ye Kong couldn't see clearly and hurriedly looked at another sect.

The other was Yue Feng Mountain, Tai Chu Academy's biggest opponent. The scene was also incredible to Ye Kong. Just as Ye Kong was about to enter to take a closer look, a burst of golden light flashed open, shocking Ye Kong's divine consciousness away.

The people here were actually able to resist Ye Kong's divine consciousness.

They were not to be underestimated.

The next day, Ye Kong, with dark circles under his eyes, arrived at the Great Martial Arena. Sheng Ge was surprised to see Ye Kong like this. "What's wrong, Senior Brother Ye? Didn't you sleep all night last night?"

"Yes, a huge mosquito flew into the cave last night and disturbed me all night." Ye Kong yawned and greeted Zhang Tie when he saw him coming over.

"You two, is there no problem?" Sheng Ge asked in a low voice.

"What are you talking about? We are good brothers, have you forgotten?" After Ye Kong finished speaking, he didn't forget to grab Zhang Tie. "By the way, Zhang Tie, the people sent by Yue Feng Mountain today have some strength. You have to be careful."

"Don't worry, I can handle it." Zhang Tie waved his hand and went to prepare.

Ye Kong looked at Zhang Tie's back, and for some reason, a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

The official competition began.

It was still a one-on-one battle according to the list. The first few matches were still ordinary, until Tai Chu Academy faced Yue Feng Mountain. Zhang Tie used even greater spiritual power than yesterday, but all his initial moves were blocked.

The opponent attacked. In the interplay of light and shadow, Zhang Tie was heavily thrown off the stage. The opponent's attack was so fast that even Ye Kong didn't see it clearly.

Who is this person?

Ye Kong helped Zhang Tie up. Zhang Tie had already lost his chance to continue the competition. Following this, the contestants sent by Changqing Academy today were all incomparably brave. They were not at all inferior to the contestants from Yue Feng Mountain when facing Tai Chu Academy.

Today's competition ended, and the results were also unexpected.

Changqing Academy advanced triumphantly, with little difference between them, Tai Chu Academy, and Yue Feng Mountain.

The three sects stood tall at the front.

A three-legged stand.
