"Oh, sometimes I wonder how talented a person is to be considered a genius."
Some people may say that he is cheating, but that is a complete misunderstanding of him.
Master Ansheng has reached this point entirely through his own efforts. The hardships and pains he has endured are unimaginable to outsiders.
Stealing other people's golden elixirs, sucking blood for sacrifice... each and every one of these is extremely hard work.
"Decided."
"You win first place with your own ability!"
Chapter 30: No Taboos (Please vote at the end of the month)
Before the freshman ceremony begins.
"Come on, come on, place your bets, place your bets, buy it and leave it."
"It's going to be closed in two hours."
"Liu Ruyan of the Liu family pays 1.5 for every 1, Huo Yingyun of the Huo family pays 2 for every 1, and Zhang Yu of the Zhang family pays 1.9 for every 1..."
Tang Ansheng started from the inner gate area and when he walked to the boundary area between the inner and outer gates, he saw a group of people gathered there. Leading them was a middle-aged man in a red robe who looked a bit shifty.
"The aura emanating from these people is all at the Foundation Establishment stage."
Tang Ansheng looked over and said, "There are usually no inner disciples around, but today there are so many of them."
Looking again, I found Li Bing standing at the outermost edge.
At this moment, Li Bing also took out a storage bag, threw it in front of him, and shouted, "All in on Liu Ruyan."
"What's going on here?"
Tang Ansheng walked up and patted Li Bing on the shoulder. Li Bing said without turning his head: "Daoyou, every time there is a freshman ceremony, there will be inner disciples opening the betting, this is natural..."
As Li Bing was talking, he suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar. He turned around and found that it was Tang Ansheng, which immediately scared him.
"Why are you here?"
Li Bing looked around and quickly pulled Tang Ansheng aside, saying, "Fellow Daoist Ansheng, the freshman ceremony is about to begin. We can't delay it. Why is there no one here... Forget it, I'll take you there myself."
Li Bing was so panicked that he ignored the fact that Tang Ansheng quietly walked up behind him and patted him on the shoulder.
"No need, there's still time. There's no point in going earlier." Tang Ansheng said.
The freshman ceremony naturally begins with a speech by the sect leader, and after that comes the real selection competition.
As for the sect leader's speech, Tang Ansheng knew with just a little thought that it was all meaningless nonsense!
Just like the old lady's foot binding, smelly and long.
"Haha, that's right. The sect leader has been giving speeches for more than an hour. There's no point in going too early." Li Bing thought about it and found that it was indeed still early.
Of course, only disciples with natural spiritual roots like Tang Ansheng can receive such special treatment, because the area where he lives is the inner gate area.
As for the freshmen who were staying in the outer gate area, they had already been sent to the freshman ceremony, and they had no choice but to go or not.
Li Bing remembered Tang Ansheng's question just now and knew that he was interested in this handicap, so he continued: "We inner disciples usually have little to do except training or missions. We come here to place a bet during each freshman ceremony."
"On the one hand, it can relieve the pressure of cultivation, and on the other hand, it can also communicate with each other."
Tang Ansheng looked over and found that there were indeed a lot of people. After placing their bets, they not only did not leave immediately, but instead gathered in groups of three or four, talking and laughing.
"Who's on here?" Tang Ansheng asked.
Li Bing said: "The current top ten seeds for the championship include Liu Ruyan from the Liu family, Huo Ying Yun from the Huo family, and so on."
"Among them, Ruyan Liu has the lowest odds here, and she is also the favorite to win."
Generally speaking, the higher the odds, the greater the chance of losing.
Tang Ansheng took a look and found that Liu Ruyan had the lowest odds. It seemed that many people were optimistic about her.
But after looking around, he found that his name was not among the top ten candidates.
How does this work?
If he, Ansheng Daoye, is not number one, then who is?
"Didn't you say that the competition for this year's Freshman Ceremony has been changed? How come Liu Ruyan has the lowest odds when we don't know anything?"
Li Bing explained: "Even if the competition is changed, it still depends on aptitude, martial arts, willpower and so on."
"It is said that Liu Ruyan has reached the fifth level of Qi training. Her heart for the Tao and her talent are top-notch. It is not unreasonable that so many people bet on her."
After Li Bing finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and quickly made amends: "Of course, Daoist friend, your qualifications are higher than his."
"It's just that fellow Daoist knows that outsiders don't know about your talent and spiritual roots, so there is no name of fellow Daoist among the seed newcomers who are betting."
Tang Ansheng nodded and said, "We can add more people."
"It's possible, but if the knowledge level is not high, the odds will be very high. Could it be that fellow Taoist..."
Li Bing looked at Tang Ansheng and suddenly realized what he wanted to do.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to do this. If you add yourself to the mix now, you'll just be putting yourself on the fire, and besides attracting other people's attention..."
Grilled on fire?
Haha, don't say that everyone's eyes are so cold.
Even the Sun's True Flame was only good enough to give Master Ansheng a hot bath.
"Alas, we geniuses are born to attract attention."
Tang Ansheng took out a storage bag and put it in Li Bing's hand: "Add my name to it, and all the spirit stones in it are on me."
"This... okay." Li Bing nodded and responded.
He knew that geniuses are always arrogant, and it would be bad if he continued to persuade them.
"By the way, can the dealer afford the compensation? Will he refuse to pay after losing?"
Li Bing said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, you are joking. This time, the dealer is jointly opened by the five inner disciples and the elders. Let alone the spirit stones present, even if the amount is multiplied tenfold, we can still afford the loss."
"That's good."
After saying that, Tang Ansheng left. Li Bing looked at his back and thought, "Fellow Daoist Ansheng is at the fifth level of Qi training, which is about the same as Liu Ruyan, but in terms of magic tools and secret manuals, I think he is not as good as her."
"Add to that the age issue, it will be difficult to defeat the opponent, not to mention the other two unknown spiritual roots."
Li Bing is not optimistic about Tang Ansheng.
"I don't know how much was bet, probably just a few spirit stones."
There were no restrictions on the storage bag, so it could be opened by injecting spiritual energy. Li Bing opened it and took a look. He was so scared that he almost couldn't hold it steady.
"This, this, this... I can't earn this many spirit stones in my entire lifetime."
"Did Daoist Ansheng rob Lingshi Manor?"
Li Bing held the storage bag. He felt that the thing that was light before was now as heavy as Mount Tai.
"I want to add one more person—Xia Ansheng."
"All in on him."
Li Bing threw the spirit stone storage bag that Tang Ansheng gave him up, and at the same time gritted his teeth and threw out another bag.
"Since, Daoist Ansheng, a newcomer who has just embarked on the path to immortality, is so confident."
"As an inner sect disciple, I cannot afford to lose my momentum. I will bet most of the remaining spirit stones I have accumulated over the years on this."
Li Bing looked at Tang Ansheng's back in the distance and said, "Fellow Daoist Ansheng, I have staked most of my family fortune. It all depends on you."
A bet brought some excitement to Li Bing's ordinary daily practice.
…………
"There is a special kind of stone in this psychedelic forest, called bloodstone, which is the size of a palm."
"You only have three days at most. Whoever collects the most bloodstones will be the champion of this competition."
"The first five are qualified to worship the Yuanying Zhenjun as their master."
“Others who rank higher will also receive rewards.”
Sect leader Qiao Shuzhen was speaking at the top.
The competition in this freshman ceremony was surprisingly simple. All you had to do was collect this bloodstone.
Not comparing aptitude or martial arts.
As soon as these words were spoken, the newcomers below started chattering.
Those freshmen with lower talents and martial arts skills were naturally very happy.
As for those who are confident in themselves, they frowned slightly, because luck still plays a part in collecting things.
These geniuses prefer strength rather than luck.
However, Sect Leader Qiao Shuzhen didn't listen to what they were saying at all. He just waved his hand and a formation lit up under his feet.
In a dizzying moment, all the freshmen felt that they had lost control. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a dense forest with no one around them.
“Is this the psychedelic forest?”
Tang Ansheng looked around and didn't find anything special.
He started from the inner gate area and came all the way to the location where the freshman ceremony was held. Before he stopped to rest for a while, he heard the sect leader Qiao Shuzhen talking about some rules.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in this place.
“It feels a bit dramatic.”
"There are at least tens of thousands of new students enrolled this time, some of whom have just started on the path to immortality and cannot even feed on spiritual energy."
"If we stay here for three days, I don't know how many people will die."
"And it seems that killing is not prohibited. How can you collect bloodstones by yourself faster than stealing them from others?"
Tang Ansheng took a step forward and suddenly felt something was wrong with his body.
“This is not my body.”
Tang Ansheng was at a high spiritual level and had an extremely clear sense of himself. Just by moving around, he noticed something was wrong.
"It's a bit like the state when my spirit entered the skeleton. It's even possible that my body is still outside and only a wisp of spirit has been transported to this so-called psychedelic forest."
Tang Ansheng recalled what happened when the formation was activated.
"Such a big deal?"
"Who cares? As long as it doesn't bother me."
Outside the formation, Qiao Shuzhen was looking at the tens of thousands of freshmen lying on the ground in front of him with satisfaction.
This formation is called the Nine-Turn Soul-Bending Formation. Anyone who falls into it will have their soul lost in the boundless scene.
Of course, Qiao Shuzhen made an improvement on this and used it to test the subject matter.
"They are trapped in the formation without knowing it. When they wake up, they will only think that they have been teleported to the psychedelic forest and are undergoing a trial."
"This Nine-Turn Bewilderment Formation can arouse people's fear and make them constantly face various things they fear."
“Once you’re addicted, it’s hard to escape.”
But it is an exam after all. According to Qiao Shuzhen's design, once someone is immersed in it, the formation will naturally bounce him out.
The specific manifestation is waking up from the formation.
Of course, this also means that the opponent is eliminated.
In addition, being killed in an illusion will also cause the original body to wake up.
However, Qiao Shuzhen deliberately did not say what it would be like to be killed at the beginning. People in the illusion would only think that being killed would mean they would really die.
"Faced with a life-or-death crisis, faced with something you fear, what would you do?"
Qiao Shuzhen looked at the mirror in his hand, which showed the appearance of the freshmen in the illusion.
"what!"
"I'm dead, right?!"
"Don't kill me!"
