"Did you spread the word about your competition with me?" Lu Jing looked strange.
In fact, he doesn't have much ill feelings towards Chen Hanqing. The world is like this. There are always heroes ending and new ones coming forward.
And when newcomers start out, they often step on the older generation to get the upper hand, because this is the fastest way to become famous.
Although Lu Jing is not from the older generation, his reputation is much greater than that of many older masters. His name has been on people's lips since the Tianji Ranking was released.
Because he was on the list overnight, the carp turned into a dragon, which was even more dramatic than Yan Yun, so he naturally became more talked about.
And Lu Jing's reputation in the academy is no worse than that of him in the world. Although he could not practice before, he has always been the focus of attention since the entrance examination. Later, he turned the eight scenes into seven and overcame all the foundation builders. The monk came out on top.
Naturally, there are many people who want to defeat him.
It's just that most people are self-aware. Especially recently, there have been rumors that Lu Jing has begun to practice secret power, which makes many people feel shuddering.
However, as Chen Hanqing is currently the only two practitioners in the academy who possess a first-class secret cauldron, he definitely still has a chance, or he thinks he still has a chance.
Lu Jing could also understand the other party's desire to defeat him to a certain extent.
He had learned something about Chen Hanqing from Yan Yun before. The Shenquan Sect was actually considered a big sect in the martial arts world. Although it was not as big as Xijian Pavilion, Yunshui Jingci Pavilion and Xuankong Temple, there were still some people under the sect. Hundreds of disciples.
As a first-class master, Jiang Jun, the master of the sect, is a well-known figure in the martial arts world.
As Jiang Jun's apprentice, Chen Hanqing got started quite early, so it stands to reason that he should have gained some fame in the world. But the fact is that Chen Hanqing's martial arts qualifications can only be said to be good, but they are far from amazing.
Not to mention compared with the leaders of the younger generation such as Yan Yun and Wei Zixian, even the Divine Fist Sect has several young disciples with better qualifications than him.
There are not too many third-rate people in the world who are twenty-six or seventeen years old, but they are not too few either.
In addition, Chen Hanqing has a boring temperament and is not very good at making friends, so he has been unknown in the world before, and he is even more ordinary among the disciples of the academy.
However, no one expected that he was a hidden spiritual genius.
He has been silent for more than twenty years, but after building a foundation, he became a blockbuster. This is simply a perfect template for the protagonist of Internet articles.
According to the development of the plot, it is almost time for him to choose a villain to establish his power.
And looking around, is there a more suitable villain than Lu Jing?
Well, this is just what Lu Jing felt in his own mind. The actual situation should be that Chen Hanqing became famous overnight, but on the other hand, he is probably a little unsure of where he is now.
The calico cat of yesteryear needed to pass a challenge to complete his evolution into the king of beasts and determine his new identity.
But here comes the question, why does his challenger have to be Lu Jing? And why so eagerly?
Chen Hanqing's move was courageous at best, but simply a desperate move at worst. While forcing Lu Jing to accept the challenge, it also completely blocked his own escape route.
Even if Chen Hanqing really wants to challenge Lu Jing to prove that he has suddenly risen to prominence, he can wait until he wins the next small competition before bragging. Then he can brag as much as he wants and no one can refute him.
And even if he loses, there will be no loss. As long as he doesn't say anything afterward, no one will know about it at all.
But now he has already announced that he will challenge Lu Jing, and he has also taken the initiative to publicize the challenge to everyone. If he wins, he will naturally become famous, but what if he loses? How should he deal with himself then?
Chen Hanqing nodded and said solemnly, "In this case, you will have no choice but to participate in the next competition."
Lu Jing was a little dumbfounded, "Are you the publicity ambassador for the Academy Competition, so you go to great lengths to recruit people?"
"What propaganda ambassador?" Chen Hanqing was startled.
"It's nothing." Lu Jing shook his head. Although he was too lazy to argue with his opponent, Chen Hanqing had been chasing him all day, forcing him to participate in the competition without giving an inch. No matter how good-tempered Lu Jing was, he would still be fucked by him now. He got a little impatient and said directly, "I have received your letter of challenge, but I think I need to add something."
"What are you adding? Haven't you seen it yet?" Chen Hanqing asked confused.
"What else can you write in it? Isn't it just to provoke me with things like fear of war and avoidance of war, and cherishing fame and power? At most, it can be written in a more elegant way."
"…………"
I don't know if Lu Jing hit the right note, but Chen Hanqing was speechless for a while.
"It's not impossible for you to challenge me, but what do you plan to do after I win?" Lu Jing asked.
"I won't bother you again."
"Isn't this kind of thing a matter of course?" Lu Jing sneered, "Do I deserve to be harassed by you now? What I'm asking is what benefits will I get if I win you? If you beat me and become famous in one battle, I will use my accumulated experience. My reputation has made me successful, but what about me?"
"You can also take away my reputation..."
"Wake up, friend. If you step on me, you will be on top. If I step on you, you will be on the bottom."
In fact, Lu Jing didn't need to speak. Chen Hanqing felt a little unsure at the end. He also knew that the reputation gap between the two was too big. Hearing this, his face turned red, "Then... what do you want? Mine." Life?"
At this point, he straightened his waist again, "You are right, I am far inferior to you in terms of fame, but if my life is added to it, I think I can satisfy Master Lu."
"What's the point of wanting your life? What can I gain by killing you, to be expelled from the academy directly by Huang Jianyuan?" Lu Jingdao, seeing that Chen Hanqing was once again deep in thought, he stopped trying to be pretentious and said straightforwardly, " How about I sell your life to you again?"
"Ah?" Chen Hanqing found that he couldn't keep up with Lu Jing's thoughts.
"You are now the only person in the academy who owns a first-class secret cauldron, and you have outstanding cultivation qualifications. I guess one hundred thousand taels is not too much for you," Lu Jing pulled Chen Hanqing to settle the score with him.
Although Chen Hanqing felt that the current situation was a bit strange and something seemed wrong, he had to admit that Lu Jing's offer was still very conscientious. One hundred thousand taels is really not expensive to buy the life of a spiritual genius. Not only is it not expensive, it is simply too cheap.
If he really wanted to ask for the price, most people would be too embarrassed to ask, so he could only nod.
"Very good. You told me in the morning that you had just become a second-rate master. If you hire a killer to kill a second-rate master, the price offered by the other party would be upwards of thirty thousand taels. You have just become a second-rate master, so let's Taking the lowest price, 30,000 taels, this adds up to 130,000 taels.
"Oh, by the way, you are from the Shenquan Sect. Master Jiang Jun is a first-rate master. In this case, you are better than the average second-rate master. So you have to pay, not too much, but not too little. Ten thousand taels of silver total You still have to have it, otherwise your master will lose face if you tell me, and it’s only 140,000 taels.”
