After refining the power in the crystal marrow, Lin Yansheng meditated for three more days. Finally, after becoming familiar with the surge of Yin Thunder power in his body, he came out of seclusion.
"It feels like it's almost done."
After moving his muscles a little, Lin Yansheng looked at his palms with satisfaction and whispered. Soon he heard his stomach growling, and then suddenly realized that he seemed to have not eaten for several days.
His practice this time, together with the time he spent refining the crystal marrow, has been six or seven days. If he has not eaten for such a long time, an ordinary mortal would have starved to death. Although high-level warriors can do inescapable grains, they can use the world to control the world. Yuan Qi is food, but Lin Shengsheng is obviously far from this step. He still needs to... well, eat regularly, but his cultivation in the Blood Tempering Realm makes his ability to withstand hunger far beyond ordinary people.
After touching his belly, Lin Shengsheng climbed out of bed and wanted to run into Wu Mansion to look for food.
However, his little wish was not fulfilled, because the moment he opened the door, more than a dozen pairs of green eyes stared at him at the same time!
"Brother, you are finally out. We have been waiting for you for several days!"
A handsome young man with red lips and white teeth almost rushed forward, slapped Lin Yansheng's shoulders hard with both hands, and shouted impatiently.
The young man was Tao Ranxuan, and the people behind him were Ma Rui, Li Ziyang and others who came from Tiannan County with him.
However, what surprised Lin Yansheng was that brother Xu Xiong, who was from Beihuang County and had a little feud with him before, was also in the crowd. Seeing him looking over, Xu Xiong lowered his head in embarrassment.
"wait for me?"
Lin Yansheng was immediately confused by this battle. He was stunned for several breaths, and then asked with some surprise: "What are you waiting for me for?"
"Of course I'm waiting for you to tell me about your feats in the past two days." Tao Ranxuan seemed to be very excited and said to Lin Yansheng excitedly: "Shensheng, although I also know that you are relatively low-key, at least we are the same person. You came out of the place, so you can at least make it convenient for us, right? Come and have a good talk."
As he said that, Tao Ranxuan put his arm around Lin Shenyan's shoulders and gave him a "you know" look.
Lin Yansheng suddenly became even more confused.
"Ahem, maybe Brother Lin doesn't know yet..."
At this time, Ma Rui suddenly coughed dryly and explained: "In the past two days, the news that you defeated Xie Yan in the Spiritual Tide and obtained the exotic ore has spread in the Wu Mansion. This achievement has also spread in the Wu Mansion. It caused quite a stir, and even the ruthless people at the top of the Tianxiao rankings seem to have paid some attention to you."
As he said that, Ma Rui looked outside: "Chen Xueyi came to see you two days ago, and we all saw it..."
"Your identity has been found out by those people in the past few days. Many disciples know that you are a new member of this class and come from our Tiannan County, so... they have also approached us in the past two days to understand the situation, but The result..."
"Of course I don't know anything anymore."
Ma Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "So, the few of us are thinking about it, hoping that Brother Lin can reveal some details to us, so that we can have something to talk about in the future."
"Talk about it? I see, no wonder you guys want to sit here with me." Lin Shenyan shook his head thoughtfully, feeling quite dumbfounded.
But if you think about it carefully, this is actually a very normal thing. It has been more than a month since they entered Lei Xiaowu Mansion. Besides the various disciples fighting openly and secretly, there are also some clever disciples who have begun to call friends and form cliques. , after all, in many cases, more people will still be more powerful, which will undoubtedly give them some advantages in future competition.
Not to mention anything else, if you can find an awesome disciple as the core of the team, you will have enough confidence to walk on the road in the future - labor and management are protected by big brothers!
But except for a few disciples who come from the imperial capital or some core counties and have deep network resources, most of them are still new here and are not familiar with Wu Mansion. It is not easy to form a gang. After all, you are the only one You are a nobody, if you want to recognize your big brother, you have to see if others want you!
At this time, many disciples can only use local materials. They sign up for a group with fellow villagers from the same county or other disciples under the same instructor. Outstanding disciples, they can also take advantage of it.
This is just like in the mortal scientific examination, senior candidates from the same hometown often provide some guidance to subsequent candidates, and major conference halls are also set up in the capital.
Ma Rui and others naturally have this idea now. As for Xu Xiong, although they had a little feud before, it was really nothing. And since they are all disciples of Simu, their relationship is certainly relatively close. Close.
Under this kind of relationship, it is natural for them to want to know more details. At least in this "close" relationship, they can barely reflect some of their superiority as a "group" if they know more.
"In that case, let's come in and let's have a good talk?"
After thinking about this, Lin Yansheng smiled lightly, and did not reject them unkindly. He turned slightly to let everyone in.
"Hmm... do you want to know my experience in the spiritual tide?"
After letting the group of people in, Lin Yansheng asked curiously.
"Uh... Brother Lin, actually we want to know more about the story between you and Chen Xuehuang." Xu Jun suddenly said in a low voice.
The others also nodded vigorously. This is a good question. To be honest, Lin Shengsheng's experience in the spiritual tide has been spread by those Earth Master disciples in the past two days. Most of them can't tell anything. But Chen Xuehuang is different. As the most eye-catching little flower among the newcomers, her story is the hottest news!
I heard that Lin Shengsheng seemed to be very close to Chen Xuehuang in the past two days? Could it be that... there is a story?
"WTF?"
Faced with everyone's expectant gazes and that unusual question, Lin Shengsheng was immediately petrified on the spot. After a long time, he uttered a few words: "You... just be human beings..."
What is the story between him and Chen Xuehuang? There is nothing to say about their innocent and pure friendship.
Besides, with how protective Chen Xueyi is of her sister, if they really dare to stir up trouble here, they might not even know how they died...
Staring angrily at the bad guys in front of him, Lin Yansheng began to tell them about his previous adventures. Of course, he would not talk about the core things, but he also added a lot of extra details.
For example, how ferocious the Nine Aperture Magic Thunder Crystal was in the end, and how many places were turned into scorched earth when the Haori Pearl he bought exploded. Anyway, it definitely sounds like it can bluff people.
"Brother Lin, speaking of it, you have offended Senior Xie Yan to death this time... You have to be more careful in the future."
It took him more than half an hour to tell the story, and when he finished, Xu Xiong suddenly said with some worry.
Although Xu Xiong and Lin Shengsheng had some disagreements before, that was in the past and there was really nothing to mention. In addition, this time Lin Shengsheng ignored the past and allowed them to come and watch Zhan Zhanguang. Xu Xiong was still a little touched. Hence the kind reminder.
"Thank you? He is an old student, so he shouldn't blatantly deal with me, right?"
Hearing Xu Xiong's words, Lin Yansheng was startled for a moment, then frowned and said.
Although Lei Xiaowu Mansion advocates competition, this kind of competition also has certain prerequisites. Unless it is something like a fight between the two parties in the martial arts arena, the old students cannot suppress the new students arbitrarily. Otherwise, if a few people who have practiced for five or six years The old students surrounded the newcomers, and even Wu Tong had to finish the game!
Therefore, the competition between old students and freshmen can only be played in a negative way.
Moreover, regarding the Lingchao matter, strictly speaking, he and Chen Xuehuang were acting in a team, so if he really wanted to offend Xie Yan, they would be offended together.
Lin Yansheng didn't believe that Xie Yan was brave enough to do something dirty to Chen Xuehuang, who was backed by Chen Xueyi. If he really dared to do this, the girl's revenge would definitely make him regret coming to Lei Xiaowu Mansion!
In the same way, with the kindness shown by Chen Xueyi to him, he would not really sit back and watch Xie Yan do evil things to him.
"Brother Lin, I think you must think that Xie Yan can't attack you, right? But things may not be as simple as you think."
Ma Rui saw Lin Shengsheng's disapproving look and actually reminded him: "Due to his limited status, Xie Yan may not be able to do anything to you openly, but it's just like us asking you to sign up for a group to keep warm. After Xie Yan's death, There is also corresponding gang support - the Zhaoming Society."
"Zhao Minghui?" Lin Yansheng muttered. He seemed to have heard of this gang.
"Yes, Zhao Ming Hui, their president is Ning Zhao, a three-year disciple of Wu Mansion. Ning Zhao is not only very skillful, but also extremely powerful. He ranks second among the disciples of their generation!" Ma Rui explained: "The Zhaoming Society was a force that arose two years ago, and is now considered a top-ranking organization in the Wu Mansion. I heard that in the past month, they have admitted many new disciples with good rankings. Xie Yan is the vice-president of the Zhaoming Society, and your grievances with him will probably cause the new disciples of the Zhaoming Society to cause trouble for you!"
The old students cannot directly attack the newcomers, but if it is a fight between the newcomers, it is reasonable and legal.
"Yes, by extension, those people from the Zhao Ming Society have already announced that they will have a good fight with you in the rookie competition... and beat you up to the point where your parents don't even recognize you... I want you to make the most of this time." All the points must be used for healing!" Tao Ranxuan also said tentatively from the side.
He looked at Lin Yansheng with a rather worried look in his eyes. Before coming to Wu Mansion, his father had asked him and Lin Yansheng to help each other, but in the face of the Zhaoming Society's sniper attack, his little arm really couldn't be twisted.
"Before the rookie contest, the Wu Mansion will rank us based on our rookies' performance in the past three months. You have found a different type of ore this time. It is difficult to get a low rating, and you may even be in the top few! But! According to the rules, the newcomer competition will be held in the martial arts arena, and those disciples ranked behind you can challenge you, and you can't refuse!"
In the newcomer competition, all those with lower rankings can challenge those with higher rankings, and if they win, they can take their place.
"Oh...that seems to be a bit troublesome..."
Lin Yansheng touched his chin. He really didn't know that there was such a rule for the rookie competition. After all, he had already made many enemies before the competition started.
"By the way, what is the approximate level of the newcomers from the Zhaoming Society who attacked me? They can't be similar to those of Wu Tong and Chen Xuehuang, right?"
Lin Yansheng suddenly asked, this question really needs to be clarified seriously, but he will not be beaten by a bunch of top ten experts.
"Are you new? There will definitely not be anyone of Prince Hongwang's level, but the people Zhao Ming will recruit should all be ranked in the top three hundred, and the highest ones should be around seventy or eighty. There are probably three or four of them. Well, I will definitely challenge you in turn when the time comes." Tao Ranxuan thought for a while and whispered.
Everyone's expression changed. Ma Rui and Xu Xiong, the strongest ones here, were probably only two or three hundred among the newcomers... If they encountered such a behemoth as Zhao Minghui, they would really have no power to fight back!
Even if they wanted to help Lin Shengsheng avoid disaster, they were powerless.
Li Ziyang also shook his head at this moment: "Brother Lin, you have caused big trouble this time. We have just entered Wu Mansion, and it is not a good choice to be enemies with those old students. Sometimes, we have to tolerate it. Too rigid, but..."
Speaking of this, Li Ziyang sighed, seeming a little sad: "Brother Lin is still a little impulsive."
Some disciples couldn't help but nodded. Originally, they were still envious of Lin Shengsheng's great opportunity this time, but now that they analyze it...this blessing is really not something that ordinary people can resist.
Lin Shengsheng didn't pay much attention to those slight changes in his eyes, and he didn't comment on Li Ziyang's words. He came to Lei Xiaowu Mansion originally to create a prosperous road for his martial arts. In this case, why should he look at those old students? Act with a face?
If he has to be patient in everything, afraid of offending others, and only dares to pick up scraps from behind, then how far can he go on his martial arts path?
Fighting, struggle, and challenge are the synonyms of the warrior world!
But...he really had to think carefully about the Zhaoming Club.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yansheng hugged his fists at Tao Ranxuan and others: "Thank you very much this time. You should be more careful in the past two months. After all, we are all from the same school. Maybe Zhao Ming will express his anger at you!"
"Brother Lin, don't worry about us. In the past two months... prepare more and strive to break through to the late stage of the Blood Tempering Realm. At any rate... at least the fight will be more intense."
Everyone shook their heads with a wry smile. In fact, they all knew that Lin Shengsheng was not bad. He was definitely one of the strongest people in their group. He could even be ranked at the top among the entire freshman class, but two Just how far he will be in a month... they can't say for sure.
And even if he takes a step back, even if Lin Xianxian's strength has reached the top 100 newcomers in Wufu, and he can compete with the masters in the Zhaoming Society, he still...can't stand up to others in a round-robin battle!
Taken together, even if they didn't say it explicitly, they all felt that the companion in front of them, who had become famous not long after entering the martial arts house, would most likely fall into trouble!
Everyone began to look at Lin Yansheng with sympathy.
But immediately, they discovered that... Lin Yansheng didn't have any panic on his face, but looked at them with interest.
"Thank you very much. I will go and have a look when the time comes." Seeing them looking at each other, Lin Yansheng cupped his hands and said with a smile.
He looked very casual, as if he didn't care about it at all.
"Uh...we are talking to you about the Zhaoming Society..."
Everyone looked at Lin Shengsheng's expression, a little dazed. After a while, Li Ziyang reminded him.
He was a little speechless. A group of them came all the way and kindly asked him to pay attention to this matter, but why did this big brother react like this?
Normally, when an average person suddenly learns that he or she is being targeted by a big gang, he or she will be frightened to the point of peeing, or at least look serious. But Lin Shengsheng's reaction... Why did he not react at all?
Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to take the Zhaoming Society's sniper attack seriously at all.
"I know you are talking about the Zhaoming Conference. I will just go and have a look in two days."
Lin Yansheng touched his head and said strangely.
He's not deaf, so of course he won't hear what they are saying. Why do they all react like this?
"Uh...well, you...be careful."
Everyone was completely speechless. In the end, it was Ma Ruilai who made a concluding speech.
The same thought came to their minds at the same time:
This guy...is too arrogant...
