Chapter 19: Finally the right taste, the protagonist pretends to be cool

"Superb Root Bone! Am I blind?"

"It's still the fifth level of foundation building!"

"It looks ordinary, but I didn't expect it to be a monster!"

"This person will definitely become Ziyun Peak's direct disciple!"

"Yes, if this person cannot become Ziyun Peak's direct disciple, then everyone present will probably be wiped out!"

Below the Dengxian Platform, the onlookers were stunned, looking at the high-spirited Xiao Ye with shock.

As for those who had been ridiculed by Xiao Ye before, they clenched their fists and stared at the words on the stone tablet with resentment. Some even cursed in their hearts, thinking that the God was so blind that he allowed such a person to have unparalleled talent.

"Announce it!"

Xiao Ye said calmly, with an arrogant look on his face, treating the people below the stage as ants.

That's right!

Ever since he got the jade pendant, he has had countless opportunities, and almost everyone he meets looks up to him.

He, Xiao Ye, will definitely be at the top of the immortal path in the future!

Becoming Ziyun Peak's direct disciple and conquering Senior Sister Xue is his first step!

Shangguan Shu was stunned for a moment, obviously unable to believe that this person's talent could be so high. But what could he do if he didn't believe it? The stone tablet could not be false.

"Xiao Ye, your bones are top-notch, you passed the test!"

Hearing Xiao Ye's almost commanding tone, Shangguan Shu was not annoyed, and said in a friendly tone:

"Please sit over there first. Once everyone has finished their talent assessment, we will proceed to the next level."

Xiao Ye nodded coldly, without giving Shangguan Shu any good look, and walked towards the platform.

Shangguan Shu touched his nose awkwardly, feeling rejected. This was within his expectations. After all, a few days ago, this young man sent a visiting card but didn't even see Envoy Xue.

But this cannot be blamed on him at all, after all, he cannot influence Envoy Xue's thoughts.

Therefore, Shangguan Shu decided that he should explain everything to Xiao Ye in private and give him a big gift to see if he could make friends with him.

Even Shangguan Shu believed that Xiao Ye would definitely become Ziyun Peak's direct disciple.

…

Soon, the bone measurement was completed.

Among dozens of young men, only twelve had top-grade physiques, and even fewer had top-grade physiques, including Xiao Ye.

"The second level is the arena competition. The top three will advance. Those who just passed the level, please come and draw lots!"

In front of Shangguan Shu, there was a wooden box full of bamboo sticks.

After hearing that the second level was a martial arts competition, the faces of those young men with lower cultivation instantly turned ugly. When their talents were similar, the difference in realm was equivalent to the difference in strength.

The young men with higher cultivation levels couldn't be happy either, because there was a being named Xiao Ye above them. As a person at the fifth level of foundation building, he was already able to look down on the crowd, not to mention that his physique was of top quality!

If you are unlucky enough to draw Xiao Ye in the first round, wouldn’t that be equivalent to being eliminated directly?

"How do you fight this?"

A girl complained.

"Don't let me pick Xiao Ye!"

Some young people even put their hands together and prayed sincerely.

But there is always an unlucky guy who gets Xiao Ye.

"I am the No. 1 pick, who is the No. 1 pick!"

A young man named Shen Lang raised a bamboo stick and shouted.

"Congratulations, you won the prize."

Xiao Ye took the number one sign, walked up to Shen Lang, patted him on the shoulder, spoke in a playful tone, and his expression revealed a sense of superiority over everyone else.

"Brother, can you be gentler?"

Shen Lang pleaded with a sad face.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ye's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted: "If you are afraid, then get out of here, and don't defile the Dengxiantai!"

He said this on purpose, of course. It was a pity that Senior Sister Xue was not present, otherwise he would have definitely won her favor.

When Shen Lang heard this, his expression suddenly became uncertain. He originally wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Xiao Ye, but he didn't expect the other party to be so unkind and humiliate him in front of so many people!

He gritted his teeth and said, "Although you are at the fifth level of foundation building, I am not afraid of you. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see!"

"Tsk~ Just you!"

Xiao Ye sneered and didn't take Shen Lang seriously at all.

The audience heard the conversation between the two and some people were not happy with it and said:

"Isn't Xiao Ye too arrogant? Even when others showed weakness, he still pursued them relentlessly!"

"What do you know? The strong are supposed to humiliate the weak. I support Xiao Ye this time!"

"And don't you think that Xiao Ye's behavior is quite similar to Fairy Xue's?"

"What similarity? How can he be compared with Fairy Xue?"

"Don't argue yet. As far as I know, Shen Lang is at the fourth level of foundation building, and the Qingfeng Sword Technique he practiced has reached the realm of great success. He may not lose to Xiao Ye!"

"By the way, have you ever heard of the name Xiao Ye?"

“…”

Everyone shook their heads. As far as they knew, there was no such person as Xiao Ye in the Xiao family. However, there was someone who was good at playing with fire and was well-known in Qianyuan City.

…

…

Dengxiantai itself is composed of several arenas.

Shangguan Shu pressed the mechanism.

In an instant, the ground shook as if a dragon was turning over, and six platforms slowly rose from the ground. When they reached a height of three feet, the mechanism stopped.

"Everyone, please come on stage according to the draw results!"

Shangguan Shu talked about the rules.

After hearing this, the young men immediately followed suit.

When all twelve young men stood on the stage, six Qianyuan Guards with profound cultivation came on stage to preside over the competition.

On stage number one.

Xiao Ye hooked his finger at Shen Lang with a contemptuous smile on his face, as if he was looking at an ant.

"Xiao Ye, stop being so arrogant!"

Shen Lang gritted his teeth, roared, raised his sword, and rushed towards Xiao Ye.

His footsteps were as agile as the breeze and very fast. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Xiao Ye and slashed with the sword.

"Qingfeng Sword Technique!"

Shen Lang began to practice this lower-grade Xuan-level sword technique at the age of seven, and had made some progress at the age of ten. At the age of fifteen, he had practiced this sword technique to the highest level. Combined with the Qingfeng footwork, Shen Lang was confident that he could kill people without them even realizing it.

Shen Lang swung his sword, and the force of the sword seemed like a gentle breeze, but in fact it was a violent wind sweeping across the hills, containing a myriad of murderous intent!

Below the Dengxian Platform, everyone felt the pressure brought by Shen Lang's sword. Their faces turned pale and they subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Qingfeng Village's signature swordsmanship is indeed extraordinary!"

"This Xiao Ye looks like a self-taught person. I'm afraid he hasn't practiced any good skills!"

"Even someone at the sixth level of foundation building wouldn't dare to take Shen Lang's sword head-on. Xiao Ye is in danger!"

"What a pity. I was quite optimistic about him..."

The onlookers shook their heads, and they all felt that Xiao Ye was very likely to lose. After all, he was unknown and probably came from a small family. The martial arts he could access were at best upper-grade yellow-level. How could they compare to the lower-grade Xuan-level Qingfeng swordsmanship!

"Oh!"

Xiao Ye sneered, and when the sword was about to fall on his face, he casually stretched out two fingers.

The next moment.

Shen Lang's pupils trembled violently and his mind went blank, as if he had encountered something incomprehensible.

bite!

It was like the sound of metal and stone colliding.

In the horrified eyes of the crowd.

Xiao Ye shattered the sword in Shen Lang's hand with just two fingers!
