Li Qingyun and Jin Ke stood side by side. After thinking wildly all night last night, Li Qingyun's spirit was a little low, but after suddenly seeing the second elder above him, Li Qingyun calmed down. There was already a guess in his mind.
"Backstage?" Li Qingyun smiled bitterly in his heart, but he could only accept the reality. So what if you are not a core disciple. Even if you defeat me once, even if you are a core disciple, you will no longer be an enemy in my eyes.
"I am very sorry that I was not able to rank the rankings due to delays yesterday. After a night of research by several of our elders, we have made the following rankings based on the principle of "fairness and justice."" The second elder stood on the high platform and began to speak.
"First place, Li Qingyun."
"Ha" Li Qingyun sneered.
As soon as the second elder finished speaking, the crowd burst into cheers and waves.
"The second place is Jin Ke who was defeated. It's a pity that Jin Ke just accidentally fell off the platform." The second elder said again.
This time, the cheers were much weaker, and there were occasional scornful sounds from the crowd.
Hearing these boos, Jin Ke and the second elder's expressions became ugly. The rankings were finished, and the cheers in the crowd finally stopped, but no one left, and there was still one highlight that had not appeared.
Who is lucky enough to enter the core and become a core disciple? If it were in the past, they would not hesitate to talk about Li Qingyun, but after what happened yesterday and what happened today, everyone has no idea.
"Okay, the rankings have been completed. I hope you ten young people can achieve greater glory. Next, we will reveal who is lucky enough to become the core disciple."
In the expectant eyes of everyone, the second elder looked at Li Qingyun and said with appreciation: "If there are no accidents, this person is Li Qingyun."
"Wow!"
The crowd was in an uproar, and cheers came in waves. They thought that the second elder chose Li Qingyun. Just when some people were confused and most people were ready to cheer, the second elder said a but.
"but......!"
However, the uproaring crowd calmed down instantly, all staring at the second elder.
"However, after a night of research by our elders and a comparison of strength, age, and energy, we found that there is a more suitable candidate."
There were strange looks from the crowd, including pity, sarcasm, contempt, and gloating.
Li Qingyun sneered in his heart, but fortunately he had expected it before and did not lose his composure.
"This person is Jin Ke who is younger than Li Qingyun, stronger than Li Qingyun, and has much higher Qi and martial arts than Li Qingyun." The second elder said excitedly: "Our genius Jin Ke has become a core disciple."
"Wait a minute, disciple has a question."
Suddenly the crowd was attracted by a sound. Turning around, he saw Li Qingyun striding forward.
"Oh? Do you have any questions?" the second elder said with a gloomy expression.
"You say I'm older than him? I have just turned eighteen this year and he is nineteen. In terms of talent, my third level of Lingwu Zhenqi can defeat him at the sixth level of Lingwu, and I have not yet reached the middle level of Xuan level martial arts. The perfect state can tear apart the martial arts skills he has cultivated to perfection. Dare I ask, who is the genius and who is more suitable? Is this the result of your discussion after you dug out your eyes all night? Is this kind of trash worthy of becoming a core disciple? "
There was silence after Li Qingyun said that. Although Jin Ke was angry, it was fleeting and returned to sneer. The second elder on the high platform obviously had something to say, "Li Qingyun, although I know you are dissatisfied, there is not much difference between Jin Ke being one year older than you, and being able to comprehend perfect martial arts at this age is the real talent, so you don't have to be discouraged. This elder believes that you will definitely be the one who takes the core disciple examination five years later. Of course, Li Qingyun, you are also very talented, but unfortunately there is only one place to enter the core, so we elders, after a night of discussion, decided to give you some compensation."
After attracting everyone's attention again, the second elder said: "We have decided to compensate Li Qingyun with ten contribution points."
Ten contribution points can be exchanged for five Qi pills. This is a small compensation, but if compared with the quota of core disciples, this is not even a dime in the nine oxen.
"Li Qingyun, you still don't want to thank me? I fought hard for these compensations for you." Seeing Li Qingyun standing there with no reaction, the second elder said displeasedly.
Li Qingyun looked at the collusive elders and the second elder who had a disgusting look on his face, and knew that it would be futile to continue talking. "Oh, then I really want to thank the second elder, thank you all the elders, and thank you Yuanyang Mansion for your cultivation. But I didn't expect one." The quota of core disciples is only worth ten contribution points, which is really cheap."
In response to Li Qingyun's answer, all the elders looked at each other without saying a word. Next to them, Jin Ke was sneering, his smile full of disdain. His face instantly became distorted, and murderous intent emerged. The second elder on the high platform also seemed to be insulted, and the murderous intention of Yuanwu realm was also revealed.
"Second Elder, now that this is over, it's time for us to leave. Some matters still need to be decided by the Second Elder." A guilty elder said in relief.
"Huh, if that's the case, please step back." After saying that, he waved his sleeves and turned around to leave. The other elders also left.
“If you have talent but no backing, it’s useless.”
An internal examination ended here. Some were happy and some were sad. Many disciples saw the reality clearly. The reward for first place and the number of core disciples were all determined by the second elder for Jin Ke, but God's calculations are not as good as those of man. , suddenly a Li Qingyun appeared. The strength is strong enough, the talent is high enough, but unfortunately there is no backing, so I only get a first place, but I don't get into the core.
Apart from this, no one knows that the contribution value Li Qingyun deserves should be twenty, not ten.
Wang Xiong sneered, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and left with Wang Meng and others. When he returned, he should figure out how to kill Li Qingyun. The elders also left, and it was time to receive the rewards.
"Five Qi pills, a book of high-grade Xuan-level martial arts, ten contribution points..." Thinking of his rewards, Li Qingyun secretly thought in his heart: "Just wait, take my things, I will one day It will make you vomit it all out." The place to receive the reward is in a huge courtyard. The courtyard is very large and has many attics, all of which are several stories high.
Here you can exchange contribution points, or use contribution points to exchange for other things, such as elixirs, martial arts, weapons, etc.
By the time Li Qingyun arrived, more than a dozen people had gathered here, some of them were inner disciples who came to redeem their contribution points, and some of them were among the top ten in this competition to receive rewards.
