Outside the main hall, Lai Hua heard Lin Zheng muttering to himself. A smile appeared on his originally expressionless face, and he said: "It's too arrogant. I might as well get rid of him."
"Then I'll have to work harder." Lin Zheng nodded.
Liu Qing, who was behind them, saw this and gave a helpless smile. I really don't know where this Lin Zheng got such confidence. That Tong Bao was definitely not comparable to the guy like Xu Chuan before. He was on the ground. Among all the disciples in the palace, he was considered the best. If a fight really broke out, he really couldn't imagine what would happen to Lin Zheng.
This junior brother named Lin Zheng is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
Looking at Lin Zheng in front of him, a smile finally appeared on Lai Hua's serious face, and he said kindly: "Lin Zheng, you are the king of the outer sect in the palace selection competition, so I will give you an outstanding disciple. identity."
"Thank you Master Lai."
Lin Zheng thanked him. From now on, he would officially become an outstanding disciple of Fengyun Holy Land.
Many disciples around him also looked at Lin Zheng with envy. They knew that this outstanding disciple symbolized status and treatment.
Then Lai Hua looked at Chu Xi'er's beautiful figure in the hall.
Chu Xi'er was wearing a red dress. She had a beautiful face, her skin was as white as jade, and her green silk hair was draped over her shoulders. She was extremely perfect, especially her eyes, which were watery and calm, giving people an extraordinary feeling.
When many eyes were looking at Chu Xi'er, there were many whispers in the hall, and they were also ringing quietly.
"I'll go, this is too beautiful!"
"So beautiful, who is she? She looks even more beautiful than Senior Sister Long Bichi!"
"I don't know who will get the advantage in the future..."
"I heard that she is Lin Zheng's fiancée. She came to our underground palace because of Lin Zheng. I don't know if it is true or not."
"It seems that Lin Zhengyan is very lucky..."
"..."
But no matter what kind of whispers, it is obvious that every glance towards Chu Xi's childhood is full of surprise. Even the beautiful Long Bichi is a little jealous, and even a little bit ashamed.
It seems that from now on, there will be two beauties in the Earth Palace, and the first beauty is naturally Chu Xi'er.
"Chu Xi'er, with your strength, I will grant you a core disciple." Lai Hua hesitated before speaking.
He could obviously see Chu Xi'er's strength, and he also knew that the Holy Master valued her extremely.
In fact, he also wondered why Chu Xi'er came to the Earth Palace. With her talent, if she really became a disciple of the Holy Lord, her status would be extraordinary, and her future would be limitless.
However, I heard that she came to the Earth Palace for Lin Zheng, but this girl is so outstanding, why did she fall in love with Lin Zheng?
He thought about it, but he still had no answer. After all, it was difficult to explain things clearly between men and women.
When Chu Xi'er heard this, she nodded indifferently. After all, she came to the Earth Palace only because of Lin Zheng. As for the so-called core disciples, she didn't value them.
"You have seen that Tongbao. What are your chances of winning? If you want to stand out in the Underworld Palace, you must defeat him." Lai Hua turned to Lin Zheng with his beautiful eyes and said seriously.
"A bit strong."
Lin Zheng pondered for a while, a confident smile appeared on his handsome face, and said: "But in a few months, he will not be my opponent."
In a few months, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and when the time comes, his strength will have skyrocketed, and he will not be afraid of any opponents of his generation.
Even though Tong Bao possesses the strength of the ninth-level martial spirit realm, he still has no fear.
Liu Qing was a little surprised when he looked at the confident smile on Lin Zheng's face. He didn't know Lin Zheng very well, so he didn't know how he was able to have this kind of love in these few months. In terms of strength to compete with Tong Bao, after all, there does seem to be a huge gap between him and Tong Bao now.
However, although he was a little puzzled, he could only believe in Lin Zheng, because even if he was in the seventh-level martial arts realm now, he would not be sure that he would be Tong Bao's opponent even a few months later.
Maybe Lin Zheng can really do it.
"come on."
Liu Qing said softly to Lin Zheng, with a bit of expectation and curiosity in his eyes at this moment. This will be the first battle between Lai Hua and his disciples after Lai Hua becomes the acting hall master, so it is extremely important. .
When Lin Zheng heard this, he nodded slightly. It seemed that he had to do it.
At this time, the deputy palace master Long Hao on the side stepped forward and sighed helplessly: "You know that Yang Kuang is determined to win the Water and Fire Qitan, why do you still use this as an excuse."
He glanced at Lin Zheng and knew clearly in his heart that Lai Hua must have attached great importance to Lin Zheng's admission, so he would do everything possible to win for him.
And the strange cave of water and fire is of great benefit to practice.
Lai Hua looked gloomy and said: "I am the acting palace master now, so I can't just watch him grow bigger."
Long Hao shook his head and asked: "What are your chances of winning in that strange cave of water and fire?"
Hearing this, Lai Hua looked a little hesitant.
This strange cave of water and fire is considered to be the best cave in the Earth Palace. In the past, he refused to allocate it, but now that Lin Zheng has joined the Earth Palace, he is bound to get the best for it. After the Heavenly Palace merged into the Earthly Palace, it had been eyeing the Water and Fire Cave, which was obviously prepared for Tong Bao.
Now Tong Bao's strength is at the top of all the disciples of the Earth Palace. If he has the Water and Fire Cave, wouldn't it be even more powerful? Who else will be his opponent in the future?
Therefore, no matter what, Lai Hua will never let Yang Kuang succeed easily.
"Not now." Lai Hua pondered for a while, but finally looked at Lin Zheng and said, "But I believe in Lin Zheng."
"gone."
After he finished speaking, he said no more, waved to Long Hao, and then strode away with Lin Zheng and the others.
Long Hao looked at Lai Hua and the others leaving, sighed helplessly, and said: "This Lai Hua, it can be seen that he is really optimistic about that little guy Lin Zheng. In order to help him win the Water and Fire Cave, he even I want to arm-wrestle with Yang Kuang."
Long Bichi on the side said softly: "Can Hall Master Lai succeed?"
Although everyone wants to be the master of the palace, Long Hao and Lai Hua have been friends for many years, and the two have always been at odds with Yang Kuang. Therefore, to a certain extent, they naturally hope that Lai Hua can succeed in his profession.
Long Hao shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, but the disciples of Yang Kuang's sect are indeed stronger than our two sects. Even if only outstanding disciples can take action in this water and fire cave, the outstanding disciples of his sect should not be underestimated, such as that Lei Mang, even among the seventh-level martial arts realm, can be regarded as an outstanding person, but those outstanding disciples from Lai Hua's side may not be able to compete with them."
"That Lin Zheng can become the outer sect king in the palace selection competition. Now he is also an outstanding disciple. He should be able to turn the tide, right?" The core disciples on the side couldn't help but laugh.
When Long Bichi heard this, he smiled dryly and said: "It is not easy to turn the tide. The king of the outer sect in the palace selection competition seems to have a great reputation, but that is only for the outer sect. Now it is for the inner sect." In the Earth Palace, who would treat him like a green onion? What's more, in the battle between water, fire and strange caves, even if Lin Zheng has some abilities, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold a big position. He can't wipe out all of them at once."
It wasn't that she looked down on Lin Zheng, she was telling the truth. Lin Zheng was only at the fifth-level martial arts realm when he defeated Shi Gang in that competition, but now the outstanding disciples of the Earth Palace are at least the sixth-level martial arts realm.
Some of the top outstanding disciples have even entered the seventh stage of martial arts realm. For example, Lei Mang is even more terrifying. Even among the many outstanding disciples in the Earth Palace, he is the best.
Therefore, in her opinion, although Lin Zheng's strength is good, he may not be able to compete with many outstanding disciples when he first enters the Underworld Palace. Now, it is best to avoid the edge for now.
The core disciple also smiled when he heard this. What he said before was nothing more than a casual comment. Now that he saw Long Bichi saying this, he naturally nodded and said: "Sister, what I said is that in the past fights, it was all about Yang. The first sect of the master is better, and I think it will be the same this time. Even though Lin is the outer sect king in the palace selection competition, most of the outer sect kings in previous years were doing nothing in the fifth hall. After all, not everyone is Senior Brother Xiao Tianming. "
Long Bichi rolled her eyes at him and said somewhat unhappily: "Is Xiao Tianming comparable to him?"
"Senior Brother Chu Tianming became a core disciple within half a year of entering the inner sect, and even ranked on the Heavenly Ranking within a year. No one can match that level of talent."
She is obviously a die-hard fan of Xiao Tianming, and naturally feels that no one can compare to Xiao Tianming.
"Haha, senior sister is right, Lin Zheng is indeed not as good as senior brother Xiao Tianming." The core disciple laughed dryly.
Long Bichi nodded happily.
After hearing what the two said, Elder Long Hao was speechless. After all, what they said was not unreasonable.
"Let's go."
"I hope Brother Lai Hua can win the battle for the Water and Fire Cave in half a month, otherwise this Earth Palace will probably fall into the hands of Yang Kuang..."
…
In a large hall.
Yang Kuang was sitting on the stone bench with an ashen complexion. His eyes were spitting fire, making all the disciples in the hall tremble.
Obviously everyone knows that Yang Kuang is extremely angry today.
"Master Yang, do you want to stop some of our recent actions against Lai Hua?" A disciple asked bravely.
"stop?"
Yang Kuang looked over with a cold gaze, and the disciple who had spoken before suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"You're just a villain who got his way, do you want this palace master to stop?" Yang Kuang said in a cold voice.
"Go on and continue to target Lai Hua's disciples. As long as they switch to my sect, this palace master will reuse them. If not, they are going against me. In the future, this palace master will definitely settle the accounts with Qiu Hou..." Yang Kuang waved his hand and sneered. .
"Yes!" Many disciples in the hall responded quickly.
Yang Kuang looked at Tong Bao again and said calmly: "This time, I am fighting for you in the Water and Fire Cave. You must not embarrass me, the master of the palace."
"Disciples don't dare."
Hearing this, Tong Bao quickly raised his hands and responded.
"in addition..."
Yang Kuang's eyes flashed with a chill, and he said: "It seems that Lai Hua attaches great importance to that boy named Lin Zheng. Since he has high hopes for him... then you let Lei Mang lose his power in the battle between water, fire and strange pools." Let’s kill him.”
Hearing this, Tong Bao immediately smiled fiercely.
"yes."
