Chapter 89 Enemy's Narrow Road
Five days later, Chu Tian and Luo Jia returned to Beiming City. After all, the foundation of Bazang Shenguiwan and Jiaolihuojube are all there. His injury has generally healed. With the help of Luojia, his skills have gradually recovered to about 20%.
At this moment, 20% of the power is equivalent to the "base-building" realm of the second level of the true level. When Chu Tian attacked the qualification examination of the disciples of the North Underworld, he had been refined to the seventh level of "Naxu" realm. Although he successfully broke through the barrier, he was almost killed by E Rizhao as a soft bone with a little white face. In this promotion battle of direct disciples, the competition will certainly be more fierce. In accordance with the rule that Luojia is not allowed to participate, only win but not to lose, Chu Tian has made psychological preparations for a bitter battle and even a bloody battle to the end.
But Luojia doesn't seem to be worried at all, even more confident than Chu Tian himself. She said that in case of failure in the promotion, Chu Tian did not have to worry about being thrown into the Northern Underworld to feed sharks. She already has a better plan - to send Chu Tian back to Famen Villa, and I believe that Yi Tianxiang will warmly welcome 300 miles.
Well, Chu Tiangu believes that Luo Jia is joking. But one thing is an indisputable fact - he really became famous overnight.
"Congratulations on becoming a famous person." On the way back, the well-informed Luo Jia told Chu Tian happily, "The five major factions of Zhengdao agreed to include you in the 'Evil List', ranking 57th. Do you know what the concept is? There are thousands of masters of magic, and only a thousand of them are eligible to be on the list. Ge Shuzhan is only ranked 237th. You have achieved much more than him. Of course, that also proves that Master Juedu's status is far from comparable to Qu Yin and Yang.
"What about you?" Chu Tian heard for the first time that there was such a damn list.
"It's just the sixteenth place." Luo Jia sighed and said, "I have worked very hard, but this ranking has not been improved for three months. Although the ranking is likely to rise to the 15th place this time because of Yi Tianxiang, the more room to rise is more limited. Who says no? But--
She looked at Chu Tian with expectation and said, "I'm optimistic about your potential. According to this momentum, as long as someone looks at you once or twice, your ranking can soar into the top 30."
Chu Tian frowned and said, "Why do I always feel that you are gloating rather than encouraging?"
"Is there any difference?" Luo Jia didn't agree: "Anyway, our names can't appear on the 'Insurable List of Merit'. I admit that it's very difficult to be immortal, but you have to show your strength if you can leave a stench for ten thousand years.
In this way, Chu Tian and Luo Jia walked into the outer city of the Northern Underworld on a rainy afternoon.
Chu Tian held an umbrella and Luo Jia leaned affectionately on his shoulder, just like the first time they entered the city, and the two walked side by side. Only this time, Chu Tianquan ignored those surprised eyes.
To be honest, Chu Tian can't fully figure out what kind of relationship he and Luojia is at present.
She said that she was a master and servant, and she never sent herself as a cow and a horse.
It is said that she is a lover. She is very different from her status. One is the princess of the Northern Underworld, and the other is just an ordinary disciple of the E family.
After knowing each other for more than half a year, Luo Jia has been very kind to herself, but what does she like about herself?
Chu Tianzhen didn't quite understand, and didn't even know whether he fell in love with her like this?
"As far as I know, there are three places for promotion of direct disciples this year - don't be too little, only one or two in previous years. Only when some of the original 108 direct disciples were promoted to apprentices, or were accidentally killed by hail on the road, there would be a vacancy for the outer disciples to fill.
Luojia's boots deliberately stepped on the water trap, making Chu Tian's trouser legs wet.
Forty-nine people participated in the promotion of direct disciples. Because Sister Yue and I are your referees, you are lucky to be included in one of the four seeded players without having to participate in the peripheral battle. Theoretically, you only need to participate in two duels to be promoted to a direct disciple.
"Try it."
"Hold on, if you have this mentality, I have to book the coffin in advance."
Luo Jia warned: "Every year, there will be casualties in the promotion of direct disciples. During the tragic times, thirteen outer disciples fell in one day. You don't want to be that one-third, do you?"
"So if I don't want to die, I have to pass it smoothly." The two of them broke into the familiar alley.
The alley is as long and quiet as ever. Most of the pink and white lime on the wall has peeled off due to its age, revealing the cyan stone bricks. The ancient vicissitudes of water eaves poked out of the wall, and strings of rain lines flowed down, like a curtain made of pearls.
"Smart." Luo Jia was close to Chu Tian, and the figures of the two walked into the alley under the yellow oilcloth umbrella, and the tortuous and bumpy bluestone path slowly stretched under their feet. For thousands of years, I don't know how many such couples have walked with umbrellas on a rainy day. They came and walked slowly. Who knows where they will go?
"Remember that you are the thirty-seventh celebrity on the bad list. If you can't even beat the two or three outer disciples of the Northern Hades Mansion, won't those old antiques who wrote the list be very faceless?"
"The problem is to save their face. What's the benefit to me?"
Of course there are benefits. After becoming a direct disciple, you have the possibility to be promoted to an elder, and you can also accept all kinds of important tasks to get unimaginable rich rewards, so that you can pay off my arrears as soon as possible. More importantly, you can have the opportunity to get in touch with the secret of the Northern Underworld and break through the realm of the Holy Level.
Luojia replied, "What's more, you can move out of the outer city to live in the sanctuary, and it will be much more convenient for us to meet in the future."
Chu Tian has long been used to Luojia's strange talk and strange theories. He smiled and said nothing else.
His eyes fell on the face of a white-haired old man standing with an umbrella in the depths of the alley.
The white-haired old man was also looking at Chu Tian and Luo Jia. The rain leaked down the umbrella, and a mass of water vapor spread on his face.
"This old man is really haunted." Luo Jia also saw the yin and strict way.
Chu Tian slowly approached with Luo Jia, and said slowly, "Yesterday, the ranking of the promotion of direct disciples has been announced. Chu Tian, you and Changhe have been assigned to the Xuanwu Group. Five days after no accident, you will encounter him in the first battle. For this day, I have been waiting for a long time--"
"Old stuff!" Luo Jia snorted, "In order to arrange the Yin Changhe River into the Xuanwu Group, you and Yin Shengdao have spent a lot of effort, right? Very good, I'll wait and see!"
A smile that is difficult to see from the corners of his lips: "You won't be disappointed, I promise."
Chu Tian said lightly, "I'm sorry, you will be disappointed with the final result, I promise."
After saying this, he passed by Yin Yan Dao, came to the hut in You'ao Mountain, and reached out to push open the unlocked door.
A dusty musty smell came, the room was empty, and Youao Mountain still did not come back.
"The old man came to demonstrate on purpose." Luojia shouted to Chu Tian in a vicious tone, "You must win!"
Chu Tian put away his umbrella and looked back at the old back, which had gradually drifted away in the rain alley.
Five days later, Chu Tian stepped on the scene of the promotion of his direct disciple at the foot of Tianwang Peak for the first time.
After the fierce competition in the first three days, the elite figures among the four disciples of the outer gate of the Northern Pluto stood out and entered the final battle, including the Yin Changhe, which represented the Yin family.
Today, the opponent facing Chu Tian is this person. It seems that the Yin family is determined to take this opportunity to revenge.
Chu Tian doesn't care at all. Anyway, no matter who his opponent is, he has only one goal - to pass.
In addition, to his surprise, he saw an extremely familiar and friendly name on the battle list: E Wu unruly. After the zombie mother's fruitful hell-style **, this guy's cultivation has soared by thousands of miles a day, and he has passed three levels in a row and obtained the qualification to challenge the seed player.
In the early morning, E Wu and Wen Jing came to smash the door of Chu Tian's house.
In the peripheral battle, this guy saw the Buddha killing the Buddha and killing demons. He was amazingly shining brightly. He was even walking and talking, as if others did not know that he had entered the main battle.
"Xiao Chu, why are you still sleeping? Get up quickly, or you will be late!" After several "gentle" knocks on the door without success, E Wu picked up and kicked the door. Anyway, Youao Mountain is not at home, and no one will ask him to pay for this broken door anyway.
Chu Tian opened his eyes lazily and saw the boy rushing in with a red face.
The unruly mass that I haven't seen for a few months seems to be much bigger. The bronze-colored muscles bulge like a small hill, faintly flowing a layer of dark red metallic luster, and the voice is much brighter than before.
"How come, wasn't I scheduled to play in the afternoon? It's not too late to go after lunch.
"How can that work?" E unruly said dissatisfiedly, "I'm going to fight this morning. How can you not go? How can you not cheer for your best brother?
"Yes, Brother E's opponent is Yuan Tongchuan, a disciple of the death family. He finally ranked fourth in last year's promotion, and he became a direct disciple only half a step away. Let go of his words early this time. If he fails again, he will send himself to forget the wall for ten years.
Wen Jing just heard the news that Chu Tian came back and was half pulled and half pulled to see Chu Tian. In fact, she doesn't know why she wants to come to the Northern Underworld again. Maybe her home is gone, or maybe she still has her expectations here.
"Ten years on the wall is his luck!" E unruly burst into confidence, "Maybe I smashed him with a hammer!"
Chu Tian knew that he could not sleep. He turned over and got out of bed and said, "Miss Wen, how is your family?"
"It's okay, but Qinyuan Mansion can't stay anymore. We simply moved our family to the vassal city of Beiming Mountain, so we don't have to be afraid of immortals to seek revenge."
Wen Jing whispered, "I'm going to participate in the examination of the foreign disciples of the Youshi family this summer. Mrs. You has promised to be a referee for me."
"Miss Wen, don't worry." As soon as E Wujing saw Wen Jing's eyebrows, he whispered and whispered, he wanted to cherish her in his heart. He patted his chest and said, "When I refine my mother's 'zombie magic power', I will kill Shenhe Mansion and twist the old man's head off and give it to you to make soup!"
Wen Jing looked at E unruly gratefully and shook her head and said, "Thank you, Brother E, but there are some things I want to do in person!"
E unruly scratched his head and thought of something and said, "Xiao Chu, I almost forgot to tell you. I found out who your opponent is this afternoon. It's the grandson of Yin Changhe. Don't underestimate him! The boy didn't know where to make it into a strange magic skill. All the opponents in the three peripheral battles were killed in ten rounds, and his whole body rotted into a pool of pus.
Wen Jing said with lingering palpitations, "Stop it. The more I look at it, the more I feel that he doesn't look like a person, but a ghost who escaped from the secluded world!"
E Wujing deeply agreed, "Xiao Chu, you have to pay attention to it. Yin Changhe doesn't want to kill anyone else, it's definitely you!"
Chu Tian smiled - what can he say? He told these two people that he was almost the strength of the second level, relying on the vitality of Dong Tianji to barely survive?
What's worse is that after five days, Dong Tianji has not appeared, and Luojia seems to be missing.
vaguely, Chu Tian had an ominous premonition in his heart. At this time, it is inevitable that something unexpected will happen, but what happened is unknown...
