low-key is king

Chapter 887 Isn't it him?
College of Letters and Teachers, Crescent Palace!

In a large hall of the Physician College, a figure sat cross-legged. It was Ji Shang, the former leader of the Shangyi League, and his master, Gu Hong, was standing not far away looking at him.

This naturally belongs to Gu Hong's residence hall, and since he first taught Ji Shangbulao Changchun Jue, his disciple has been staying here so that he can observe and adjust at any time.

I have to say that Ji Shang's talent is quite good, and his comprehension ability is also extraordinary.

In the past two months, the breath on his body has almost returned to its peak.

At such a critical moment, Gu Hong would naturally stick to it, but when he thought of certain things, he felt a little helpless, secretly thinking that after this disciple woke up, he might suffer another round of blows.

"call……"

When a certain moment came, Ji Shang, who hadn't opened his eyes for two whole months, finally opened his eyes, and exhaled a foul breath from his mouth, which also rose a lot at this moment.

"Finally back to peak condition!"

To be honest, Ji Shang seemed a little excited at this moment. He thought that his blood had been drained, and he might never be called a genius again. He didn't expect that there would be a day of recovery.

At this moment, Ji Shang is still at the completion of the seventh realm, but compared to the perfection of the seven realms before the injury, he has undoubtedly taken another half step.

The bottleneck of breaking through to the eighth realm seems to have loosened a bit.

For Ji Shang, this was also a surprise.

Now he has the confidence to challenge the No. 1 Liu Sanqing in the hundred battle list. He feels that he will definitely be able to make a further step in the hundred battle list.

"Thank you Master for making it happen!"

Drinking water does not forget the well digger, Ji Shang knows who brought everything he has now.

So he stood up directly, and then directly bowed down to Gu Hong, the master not far in front, and kowtowed three times in a row.

"Ji Shang, from now on, you are already an official disciple of the Changchun Palace. Find a time to take you back to the Changchun Palace for the teacher to confirm your status!"

For this disciple, even Gu Hong, who has an extremely eccentric temper, is still very important, otherwise he would not spare no effort to treat him. What he said at this time made Ji Shang extremely excited.

He knew that this time he was blessed by misfortune. If Lu Xun hadn't drained his whole body of blood, his master would not have taught him the formula of immortality. He didn't know when he would be an official disciple of Changchun Palace.

From this point of view, Ji Shang should also thank Lu Xun.

It's just that in his heart, he hated that boy in black, how could he have the slightest thought of gratitude?
"Disciples must remember the teacher's kindness, and never forget it for the rest of their lives!"

Ji Shang, who was excited, kowtowed to the ground again, and Gu Hong was quite satisfied with this promise.

In his opinion, such a talented Ji Shang, the real rulers of the Changchun Palace, shouldn't have any objections, right?
"Get up!"

Gu Hong spoke softly, but for some reason, seeing Ji Shang's extremely excited face, a figure in black appeared in his mind for no reason, and he couldn't help sighing slightly.

"Master, the Hundred Battles Challenge should be over already, right?"

Ji Shang thought of this, counted the time in his mind, and then said: "It's a pity, otherwise it should be possible for this disciple to hit the top of the hundred battle list this time!"

When he said this, Ji Shang intentionally or unintentionally revealed a breath, but in fact Gu Hong had already sensed this breath, but he didn't say anything.

"No. [-] in the Hundred Battles List?"

Gu Hong murmured and asked, thinking about the dazzling record of a certain black-clothed boy in this Hundred Battles Challenge, he suddenly felt that his disciple was not good in an instant.

"That's right, after this setback, this disciple has come to realize that even against Liu Sanqing, he should be able to fight!"

Ji Shang didn't hear the strangeness in the master's tone at all, and showed a trace of breath again. He always felt that after practicing the formula of immortality, his combat power would definitely increase by several tenths.

The former Ji Shang was quite afraid of No. 1 in the Hundred Battles Ranking. In the previous Hundred Battles Ranking Challenge, he didn't dare to challenge Liu Sanqing at all, and the opponent's position was always stable.

"Liu Sanqing...has broken through to the eighth realm!"

However, when Gu Hong's slightly emotional voice came out next, it was like pouring cold water on Ji Shang's head, which made him a little unbelievable and a little taken for granted.

Liu Sanqing is the No. 1 recognized by the academy, and also the young genius of this generation who is most likely to break through to the eighth realm. There has been a rumor before that he often retreats to attack the eighth realm of Lingyun.

It's just that Ji Shang didn't expect that within the two months when he was undergoing major changes, Liu Sanqing would directly break through, which meant that the opponent no longer occupied the position of the hundred battle list.

"Liu Sanqing broke through to the eighth realm, so the current No.1 in the hundred battle list is...Kong Xinyue?"

Ji Shang took a deep breath, but he still didn't give up the idea of ​​reaching the No. 1 list.

From his point of view, Kong Xinyue, who was once the second, naturally became the number one in the Hundred Battles Ranking after breaking through to the eighth realm first.

However, after Ji Shang asked, he saw his master slowly shaking his head, which surprised him again, and asked quickly, "Isn't it Kong Xinyue, could it be Wei Xiuyuan?"

These three are the top three on the hundred battle list. As for Yang Qian, Ye Kun and others from the Qiankun Society, they are undoubtedly inferior to these three. If it is not Kong Xinyue, it is naturally Wei Xiuyuan.

"I'm afraid you don't know some things. During the period of your recovery, Wei Xiuyuan and Ning Wenji are both dead!"

Gu Hong was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something, and thought to himself that this disciple probably didn't know how many major events happened during this period of time, right?

The structure of the younger generation of the entire Arts and Teachers College has undergone earth-shaking changes in this short period of one or two months. Today's top ten in the Hundred Battles list has changed beyond recognition.

"What? All... all dead?!"

Ji Shang was stunned by this moment, his memory was actually still on the day when the accident happened in the other courtyard of Changchun Palace.

And in his impression, after the academy's head teacher showed up, those geniuses should be able to save their lives, right?
What's more, Chen Liyan, the master of the Master Academy, was also there at that time, and he would never let Wei Xiuyuan, the number one genius of the Master Academy, die at the hands of Lu Xun.

But now, not only is Wei Xiuyuan dead, but Ning Wenji, the head of the Ningmen sect, is also dead?
This made Ji Shang's mind immediately see a figure in black, a figure he hated to the bone.

"Did Lu Xun do it?"

Ji Shang's tone was a little dry. He realized that during the period of his retreat, many major events must have happened in the academy, but unfortunately he missed them all.

And another thought deep in his heart told him that he might be the luckiest one who missed these changes, otherwise he might not follow in the footsteps of Wei Ning and the others.

"That's it!"

Gu Hong thought about Wei Xiuyuan's death. Although that person died in Jin Lan's hands, it must be related to Lu Xun after all, so he nodded.

Hearing this affirmative answer, Ji Shang couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Those two were his strongest allies, and now they are all dead. Presumably, the Ningmen and Yuanmen also collapsed because of this, right?
To be honest, even though there has been a breakthrough now, the impact Lu Xun had on Ji Shang at that time was too great, and now he would never dare to fight alone with Lu Xun again.

Originally, Ji Shang thought that with the alliance of Ningmen and Yuanmen, maybe he could design another plan to deal with Lu Xun, but he didn't expect that the first thing Su Xingyi heard was such a result.

In other words, in the future, Ji Shang or the Shangyi League will have to deal with the New Moon Palace alone, which makes him feel unsure and even more powerless.

"Okay, let's talk about the Hundred Battle Ranking Challenge!"

Gu Hong's mood was also very complicated. He glanced at his disciple Ji Shang, and then asked, "Do you know who the new No.1 in the Hundred Battles List is?"

"Master, it won't be... it won't be... him?"

Ji Shang felt that his tone was a bit dry, even though he didn't say the name, he still found it extremely incredible.

But he just had such a thought, a lingering thought.

Although Ji Shang was injured in Lu Xun's hands at the beginning, he almost died, but he knew clearly that Lu Xun at that time could only achieve the six realms.

In just two months, even if that guy can break through to the seventh level, but compared to the real completion of the seventh level, and in a formal occasion such as challenging the arena, it is absolutely impossible to catch him by surprise.

"It's him!"

Gu Hong nodded, then took a deep breath, and said: "And he defeated Liu Sanqing head-on, broke Liu Sanqing's best three cleans and seven kills, and only then reached the top of the hundred battle list!"

"Master, didn't you say that Liu Sanqing has broken through to the eighth realm?"

This shocked Ji Shang again, he felt that there were some problems in the middle, and the master's words were inconsistent, so he couldn't help asking, he really didn't want to believe this fact.

In Ji Shang's heart, Lu Xun is naturally the one he hates the most, but now the master says that Lu Xun is already No. 1 in the hundred battle list, how can he accept this?
If Lu Xun really relied on his own ability to defeat Liu Sanqing in a face-to-face confrontation, wouldn't it mean that Ji Shang would only be tortured if he faced Lu Xun?
"He broke through to the eighth realm only after fighting Lu Xun, and this breakthrough is probably thanks to Lu Xun's blessing!"

Gu Hong is now quite afraid of Lu Xun, or the background behind Lu Xun, so his mentality has changed a long time ago. In the few words of this explanation, there is actually a touch of extreme emotion.

Even in Gu Hong's heart, if his disciple hadn't become enemies with Lu Xun, if he had taught Lu Linger the Eternal Spring Art directly, maybe his master and apprentice would have some unknown good fortune.
