#1219 - Chapter 1219 Here I come!

When Ye Kong returned, he saw Sheng Ge talking to Long Hui nearby.

"I've already told Ye Kong, but he won't listen. There's nothing I can do," Sheng Ge said softly.

Long Hui looked impatient, "I know. Show yourself in front of me less often in the future."

Ye Kong only heard these two sentences before Sheng Ge ran off looking sad. He roughly gathered that they were talking about something related to him, and Ye Kong suddenly remembered how Sheng Ge had repeatedly tried to stop him from participating in the Ranking Elder competition.

So it turned out it was for his sake!

However, since that incident, Sheng Ge appeared before him much less often. Later, she went to Yunbian Town with Shen Fan Shuang, and after a long time, he hadn't seen Sheng Ge for a while.

It doesn't really matter, Ye Kong thought. It was just an attempt to stop me, after all. Everyone has their own difficulties.

Ye Kong was also stunned by the sudden appearance of Shen Fan Shuang's name. Why had Shen Fan Shuang started appearing around him so frequently recently?

The next day, the Ranking Elder competition continued.

As a disciple who joined temporarily, Ye Kong was given a special restriction because the other participating disciples hadn't been notified in advance. Ye Kong had to compete with all the participating disciples one by one before he was qualified to compete with the twelve elders. Moreover, if he lost a single match, Ye Kong would be stopped there.

Such strict conditions temporarily persuaded the disciples who had previously opposed it.

Everyone knew that Ye Kong was unstoppable and invincible among the new disciples of the Taichu Institute. Adding this condition was just to shut up the others and give Ye Kong some experience.

Ye Kong took the prepared list of disciples. Glancing down, most of them were disciples whose names he had never even heard of, and whose combat power was unknown.

"The entire Taichu Institute attaches great importance to this Ranking Elder competition. By the way, the disciples who are away all year round have also been summoned back. Many of these disciples have reputations, and their combat power may not be lower than yours," Zhang Tie analyzed from the side.

"Oh? Then how did I hear that they don't seem to be Long Hui's opponents?"

As for Long Hui, Ye Kong still knew something about him. His skills weren't as good as his words. It was really strange that he was ranked first.

"The disciples haven't fully engaged in one-on-one competitions. Basically, the rankings are based on being defeated when fighting the twelve elders," Zhang Tie told Ye Kong the information he had collected.

"Then that makes even less sense. You and I have witnessed the abilities of the twelve elders. How can this person not be able to defeat the disciples who are out, but be able to defeat the twelve elders of the Taichu Institute? Don't you think this is difficult to judge?"

Even Zhang Tie, with his small brain, couldn't figure out Ye Kong's question.

"Don't worry, you'll know once you fight Long Hui," Ye Kong replied.

Zhang Tie flipped through the competition schedule in his hand, "Unfortunately, your match with Long Hui is the last one on the second day. That is to say, you have to defeat these capable people first before you have the chance to fight Long Hui.

Moreover, Long Hui is the only person besides you who has reached the twelfth elder's position, and he is now an alternate elder."

Pfft.

Ye Kong couldn't help but laugh, "Based on him?"

"Don't worry, I'll defeat the others first, and then meet this Long Hui."

Hearing that Ye Kong had returned to participate in the Ranking Elder competition, the disciples of other sects responded in droves and came to watch the competition. His popularity overshadowed the opening day of the Ranking Elder competition.

Hearing that these people had come specifically to see Ye Kong, the judges and disciples on the stage looked unhappy.

Ye Kong went on stage. According to the schedule, Ye Kong's opponent was Wang Kui of the Taichu Institute.

However, the staff called Wang Kui's name three times, but Wang Kui didn't appear.

It turned out that after hearing that they had to compete with Ye Kong, these disciples had chosen to withdraw from the competition one after another.

Soon, the first dozen or so disciples withdrew from the competition one after another. Ye Kong on the stage stood quietly at this time, his clothes fluttering in the wind, a white-faced young man with an eye-catching face, causing the female disciples under the stage to scream.

One name after another was skipped until a name rang out.

Fu Qingqiu.

"Here."

Following the sound of "Here," a man in black slowly stepped onto the stage and stood opposite Ye Kong. One white and one black, facing each other, a smell of gunpowder erupted between the two.

Just the fact that Fu Qingqiu dared to come on stage already surpassed many people on the stage. Ye Kong also relied on a glance at the roster Zhang Tie gave him yesterday to remember that this was the disciple who was sent to Qingqiu Mountain to cultivate. He had a long-standing reputation in Qingqiu Mountain and was good at bewitchment.

Bewitching all living beings, no one can escape.

Fu Qingqiu had also heard of Ye Kong's deeds. He was participating in the competition this time precisely for Ye Kong.

The gong rang, and the competition began.

Fu Qingqiu took the lead, knowing that Ye Kong was good at retreating to defend and counterattacking, so he deliberately created a small flaw.

Ye Kong was also very curious. Who would come up with such a damaging trick at the beginning? Moreover, judging from his appearance, he didn't look like a master at all.

Immediately, Ye Kong realized he was wrong.

Crackle.

It was like small fireworks exploded.

The people under the stage saw that Ye Kong's face was red at this time. He was staggering like he was drunk, sometimes standing up and sometimes squatting down on the stage. It looked like he was dancing!

To be honest, it was a bit embarrassing.

Even Zhang Tie covered one eye.

However, how could others miss such a good show? They all tried their best to boo under the stage.

"This is the Ye Kong you've been boasting about? He's not that good. He can't even take a move from Fu Qingqiu. Don't embarrass yourself here!"

"You… why are you saying that?"

"That's the truth. He's already like this without an order. It would be fun if he self-destructed."

It was really unbearable to watch.

The people under the stage were talking, and the judges beside the stage had different expressions. They really couldn't figure out why Ye Kong couldn't break even this little bit of bewitchment. He was not up to the task.

Fu Qingqiu chuckled, walked up to Ye Kong, and was about to issue the next order.

Ye Kong suddenly looked up at him, looked at Fu Qingqiu with interest, and then Fu Qingqiu felt a shaking of the earth.

Looking again, he had already been lifted up by Ye Kong.

Buzz.

Fu Qingqiu was completely bewitched, even more crazy than Ye Kong just now. He waved the flag and shouted wildly on the stage, climbed onto the high platform and posed, and finally fell heavily, caught by Ye Kong and sent into the hands of the staff.

This burst of crazy behavior stunned everyone present.

"Is this Ye Kong learning his bewitchment again, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?"

"I told you, Ye Kong wouldn't be so easily tricked!"

Ye Kong stood on the stage with a firm gaze, waiting for the next disciple.

The disciples took a few steps back, and no one dared to step forward.

"I'll do it!" Someone spoke up.
