As Zhao Kun announced the list of promoted players, the first round of competition came to an end smoothly, and the audience began to leave.
"It's already six forty." I glanced at my phone and said helplessly: "The first round took too long, I'm a little hungry."
"How about going to Baiweilou to arrange a meal?" Xie Zhen looked at me with a smile and asked.
"Are you a ghost?" I glanced at Xie Zhen and asked.
"No!" Xie Zhenli said confidently: "Don't think I am poor now, but this is only temporary. When I become rich in the future, I..."
"Okay, okay, I understand. Please come back later, right? I'll treat you to this meal!" I quickly interrupted him. He had said this so many times that my ears were numb.
If you want Xie Zhen, a poor man, to treat you to a meal, you won't be able to do so in the short term.
"Okay, a bunch of poor people, stop fighting, I'm going to ask you!"
Sun Zimo waved his hand generously and said boldly. There are so many children of the Sun family here, how can I invite others to invite them? I happened to be a little hungry, so I invited them. Anyway, it was not short of a meal.
"Really?" Originally Xu Xuan was going to leave, but when Sun Zimo took the initiative to speak, he refused to leave and said with a smile: "In this case, I won't be polite to you."
"..." Sun Zimo was speechless. Xu Xuan, you are already a two-star strong man, but you can do such things as eating and drinking.
"Thank you, Brother Mo!" Xu Xue said with a sweet smile.
"...Let's go to Baiweilou." Sun Zimo put his forehead with one hand. I am afraid that I will be eaten by these Xu brothers and sisters today.
Baiweilou.
Sun Zimo was really rich. He ordered a large table of dishes, and many of the dishes were medicinal meals made with special ingredients. They were expensive and had the magical effect of replenishing ghost energy. Most members simply couldn't afford them.
"Sun Yu, didn't you just lose a game? Don't be so downcast, cheer up and practice hard, and fight back next time!" Sun Zimo looked at a young man sitting in the corner, looking unhappy, and scolded.
Sun Yu is ranked eighty-eight on the ranking list and is not considered weak. However, he met a stronger opponent in the first round and lost miserably, which caused him to feel a little depressed.
"I understand, Brother Mo." Sun Yu nodded, his condition improved a lot.
"That's right, I, the Sun family, can't stop moving forward just because of this setback..." Sun Zimo sounded like an elder when he spoke, but in fact, Sun Zimo was not much older than Sun Yu. Two years old.
"After all, it is a big family, there are so many people..." Seeing Sun Zimo lecturing several Sun family children, I said to myself: "There are so many people in the younger generation alone."
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Xu Xue who was eating dessert next to me. Compared with the Sun family, there didn't seem to be many people in the Xu family. I seemed to have met Xu Xue and Xu Xuan in the younger generation.
"Actually, there is nothing surprising. Our Xu family is a newly promoted family, and naturally its population is not as prosperous as a family like the Sun family that has been passed down for hundreds of years."
Xu Xue seemed to understand my thoughts and explained: "However, my father is very powerful, and my grandfather Xu Jian is also a well-known blacksmith, so the position of the five major families is quite secure."
"Of course, if you want to continue to be strong, you still have to rely on the support of future generations, so my father has great expectations for my brother and me." Xu Xue said calmly.
"That must be hard, right?"
"It's not very hard. People in our family rarely participate in various battles. They only care about improving their own strength. Of course, they will still fight when they should, but most of their thoughts are on getting stronger." Xu Xue replied: "My elders have said that fighting between humans is completely meaningless and worthless."
At this point, Xu Xue seemed unwilling to continue talking, so she changed the subject and said with a smile: "By the way, Ye Yan, grandpa asked me to give you a message. He said he hopes you won't slack off these days. Strive to break through to the late one-star peak as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, I was startled at first. It seemed that Mr. Xu was very interested in me. Then he nodded and said, "I will work hard."
"Hey, I may have a fake grandpa. He has never been so interested in me." Xu Xuan glanced at me silently and said resentfully: "I really don't know why he is so good to you."
I touched my nose. Could it be that Xu Jian saw my extraordinary talent and fell in love with it?
Xu Xue, on the other hand, took a look at the Yang Yan Sword in my hand, with an inexplicable meaning in her eyes. She didn't know what she was thinking.
In fact, even if Xu Jian didn't remind me, that's what I planned. The competition lasted for five and a half days. If I can practice hard during this period, my strength may not be able to reach a higher level.
And as long as I can break through to the one-star peak, the ordinary one-star peak should not be my opponent. As long as my luck is not too bad, I will be in the top ten.
Of course, this premise is that I can break through to the late one-star peak, otherwise if I meet some opponents at the top of the rankings, I will still probably lose.
"To be on the safe side, I'll start breaking through to the one-star peak when I get back." I thought to myself.
After having enough wine and food, Sun Zimo paid the bill with a heartbroken look on his face.
These guys are so damn edible! Especially Xie Zhen, who ate enough for three people.
My heart hurt so much, but I still had to pretend to be indifferent on my face. Sun Zi Mofeng said calmly: "Go back early. I wish you good results in advance."
"Thank you, Brother Mo."
We looked grateful. Brother Mo was so kind. Not only did he treat us to dinner, but he also encouraged us with words.
After going back, I took out a small black bag from the bedroom, which contained the ghost crystals I obtained during the hunting battle. There are still twelve pieces left.
These ghost crystals are the foundation for my breakthrough!
"I'm going to practice in the yard for a while."
I said something to everyone in the living room, and put the Qi-boosting pills I just took out of the drawer into the hands of Lin Wei and Zhang Xinyu. It took a lot of effort to get these two Qi-boosting pills. .
...
A piece of snowflake floated down from the sky. However, when it touched the light blue airflow, it instantly turned into water vapor.
In the quiet courtyard, a young man with his eyes closed was sitting on the ground. Wisps of invisible energy were slowly flowing into his body from the crystal on his left hand.
As time went by, the crystal gradually lost its sparkle. Finally, with a clicking sound, the crystal suddenly turned into a pile of debris.
"Depend on!"
I opened my eyes, looked at the crumbs in my hand, and couldn't help but curse.
Another ghost crystal was wasted, and now three of them were broken.
Originally, I thought that after a few days, my bottleneck should be loosened, and I might be able to break through to the one-star peak directly with the help of ghost crystals.
But now it seems that I have overthought it. The energy of the ghost crystal is entering the body, and the ghost energy in the body is going out through the pores of the body. Obviously, I am still stuck in the bottleneck period. If this can improve my strength, There's a ghost!
"It will be a waste if we continue to use it."
I'm a little impatient. Why can't I get over the last hurdle? Is it really that difficult?
"Don't worry, this hurdle is inherently difficult to overcome. It's not as simple as stepping from the peak of one star to the perfection of one star!" At this time, Ye Yuyou moved a small bench from the house and sat on me In front of him, he expressed relief.
"You are right, I am indeed a little impatient." I nodded and sighed softly: "How can it be so easy to break through the one-star peak..."
Indeed, if the one-star peak was so easy to break through, there wouldn't be so many people stuck in front of this hurdle. It is indeed a bit fanciful for me to dream of breaking through in a few days.
"Step by step, have you sensed the existence of the soul now?"
"Not yet, but sometimes I can vaguely sense the vague connection, but I still can't sense the so-called 'soul'!" Hearing this, I shrugged and replied.
Everything in the world has a soul, and the soul is the beginning of life. The ghost energy that is usually controlled by us is actually a kind of soul power.
However, before the peak of One Star, because our souls are too weak, we cannot sense the soul. Only a very small number of people can sense the existence of the soul before this.
But that is a very small minority after all. For the vast majority of people...
The symbol of the one-star peak is the soul's appearance!
