C615 Pure Fox Went up to the Stage
"Zhuyun is the descendant of the highest bloodline in my bloodline. If you have the chance in the future, bring him to the Demon Realm, where there is the orthodox inheritance of our bloodline." The Green Feathered Bird made such a request to Lee Zhuohua.
Strictly speaking, the Green Feathered Bird that had the bloodline of the Cyan Phoenix could not be considered a Fierce Beast. Instead, it belonged to the bloodline of the Demon Beasts. Before the Demon Realm was completely wiped out, there was also this bloodline. It was just that after the three great realms stabilized, there was only one left here.
"Demon Realm?" Lee Zhuohua was stunned for a moment when he heard the other party's request, but when he heard that it was related to the inheritance, he still agreed.
The Green Feathered Bird nodded its head in satisfaction when it saw that Lee Zhuohua had agreed. After that, a wave of green gas rose from its body. It opened its beak, and a round pearl flew out of it, flying towards Lee Zhuohua.
"This is my inner core. It is similar to the inner core of the Fierce Beast, and it is something that we cultivate with our lives. There is nothing else I can reward you with this trip, so I can only repay you with this thing, but I hope that Zhuyun will be able to grow up smoothly by your side." The exhalation of the Inner Core caused its breath to become sluggish.
This was its foundation, and it was actually given to Lee Zhuohua as a thank-you gift.
"No, I can't afford it." Lee Zhuohua looked at the green inner core in his hand and immediately refused.
"Cough ~"
Even Zhuyun, who was at the side, started to cry out in worry when he saw his mother's actions.
"There is no need to refuse. Although this object is the foundation of my cultivation, I can still reforge it. If you truly think that this object is useless to you, you can hand it over to Zhuyun at the appropriate time in the future." All of this was due to her mother's good intentions.
Its words made Lee Zhuohua and the others feel slightly shocked, and Zhuyun looked like he was about to cry.
Who said that the Demon Beasts were heartless? Even the Green Feathered Bird had feelings for them, but some humans did not care about their familial ties.
The actions of the Green Feathered Bird had greatly affected Lee Zhuohua. In the end, he still put away the inner core. He had already made up his mind. No matter what happened in the future, he would bring Zhuyun to the Demon Realm, and this inner core would not be used by him. He would use it on Zhuyun.
After Lee Zhuohua accepted the internal pill, the Green Feathered Bird exchanged a few words with Zhuyun before leaving on its own.
As for Lee Zhuohua and the others, they continued to walk towards Ancient Sun City. Now, Zhuyun had become the size of a palm, so they didn't need to worry about attracting unnecessary attention from the passers-by.
...
In the Ancient Yang Imperial Palace.
The Sandalwood Book Will Challenge Tournament was going on as scheduled, and it was not delayed by the absence of Lee Zhuohua and the others.
The rules of the arena match were different from the rules of the other matches. Instead of drawing lots, the highest-ranking player would go up to the ring first, and if someone felt they were stronger than the defender, they could challenge the defender and, once they defeated the defender, they would be able to seize the opponent's ranking.
The defender was not so simple either. If they wanted to keep their own ranking, they needed to win ten matches in a row in order to keep their own ranking.
Therefore, those who wanted to challenge a thousand people had to think carefully about it.
Imperial Emperor Gu Yang, Jing Canghai, sat on the dragon chair. As the host of the arena battle, he needed to announce the person who was going up the stage to defend, because the order was from top to bottom. Naturally, it would start from the person who was ranked first.
"The champion of the Rank Of Stars goes up the stage."
Jing Canghai shouted at the crowd below. Jing Canghai was also curious as to who would be the first place on the Rank Of Stars this year.
But no one came up from under the ring after he had called out the first place, and the people below began to whisper.
"Hmm?" Jing Canghai did not know what was going on at the moment, nor did he know why the first place did not come up to the stage.
At this moment, Jing Bolin came to his side and whispered a few words into Jing Canghai's ear, causing him to know about Lee Zhuohua's absence. He frowned.
He did not know where the first place had gone, but the Sandalwood Book Will could not be stranded because of the absence of the first place.
Helpless, he could only skip the first place and start from the second place.
Meanwhile, the crowd below the arena also knew that Lee Zhuohua was absent. They all knew who the first place belonged to, but they didn't expect that Lee Zhuohua would not be there.
"Humph, it must be because he is afraid." Wen Hwa sneered when he saw that Lee Zhuohua still had not appeared.
Ditang, Huang Yan, Nie Xunfeng and the others were also curious. What had happened to Lee Zhuohua? Why wasn't he here yet? Could it be that he was really afraid?
When he thought about it, the star showed Lee Zhuohua's strength. Early Astral Reaching Realm, Sanhua had only condensed one star, and this kind of strength was indeed a little low for them. Perhaps he was really afraid.
Zyun Hujingze was also looking around for Lee Zhuohua's figure. In his opinion, Lee Zhuohua should be there, but he had yet to see the other party's arrival, which made him frown.
"I had been looking forward to a fight with him, but he had run away. What a pity." Zhan Wuhenn and Lee Zhuohua were not familiar with each other, but when he first saw the Righteous Hall, he was tempted by the other party's sword qi.
Until he reached the Rank Of Stars, Lee Zhuohua had won first place in one go, causing the fighting spirit in his heart to burn even more fiercely. But now, Lee Zhuohua had disappeared, which made him a little disappointed.
"I don't think so. He must have encountered some kind of trouble. With his personality, he wouldn't run away." At this time, the Pure Fox spoke up for Lee Zhuohua.
"I hope so," Zhan Wuhenn said expressionlessly.
In the end, Jing Canghai decided to skip the first place and start the arena battle from the second place.
He slowly stood up and looked around.
"Since the first place has not arrived, then let's start with the second place. The second place on the Rank Of Stars will go up the stage."
Ziyun Hujingze was originally still thinking about where Lee Zhuohua had gone to, but after hearing Jing Canghai's words, he came back to his senses and appeared on the arena with a flash.
When Jing Canghai saw that someone had come up this time, his expression relaxed a little. He was also familiar with Ziyun Hujingze. After all, the other party came from a force that even Gu Yang had to treat seriously. However, he did not expect that Ziyun Hujingze would be able to reach second place this year. He still remembered that the other party was still third place in the last Sandalwood Book Will.
"Now, if you want to challenge the person in second place, if the ring defender manages to pass ten matches, then no one else is allowed to challenge him." Jing Canghai looked at the crowd and said.
As soon as he said that, the people below started to rub their fists in anticipation.
However, few of the people who had participated in the last Sandalwood Book Will were interested in it. They had seen the previous Sandalwood Book Will and knew that Ziyun Hujingze had relied on his own strength to become the Fourth Young Master.
Meanwhile, the eyes of those who had just come to participate this year and the Hidden Geniuses were flashing. It was obvious that they were coveting the position of the Fourth Young Master.
