C87 Start of the Trial
Suddenly, there was a commotion from the old disciples and all the disciples on scene couldn't help but cast their gazes towards the entrance of the plaza.
"Isn't that Murong Feng?"
"Yeah, I heard that a few days ago, he lost to a new disciple who just entered the sect. How embarrassing!"
"You can't put it like that. After all, Murong Feng was ranked 120 last time. People like us who aren't within the top 500 can't be provoked!"
"I wonder if it will attack the top hundred this time?"
"It's very possible!
Look, doesn't Murong Feng's aura seem to be even more calm and experienced than before? "
"Yeah, the true qi seems to be more condensed around my body.
"It seems that after that loss, Murong Feng has actually improved a lot!"
"Yes."
Amidst the crowd's discussion, Murong Feng expressionlessly walked down the tower. He stood in a corner and looked as if he didn't want anyone near him.
At this moment, three more people walked in from outside the plaza.
"Wow, isn't that Jiang Kai and the others who are known as the outer court's Iron Triangle?"
"Yeah, did the three of them also come to participate in the ranking smelting trial?"
"I remember last time, they were all ranked in the 60th place, almost making it into the top 50."
"That's right, Jiang Kai is ranked 60th, followed closely by Jiang Shen. The worst Jiang Chang is ranked 69th. The three of them are the true elites of the outer sect!"
"With the three of them here, it looks like this ranking trial will be very exciting!"
"Yes."
After the three of them arrived, about a dozen more people came one after another, and no one continued to come.
However, in the following dozen or so people, their popularity was obviously lower than the three people of the Jiang Clan, and it couldn't even be compared to Murong Feng.
From the discussions of the senior disciples, Lu Feng had a rough understanding that these three people of the Jiang Clan were brothers of the same mother and brother, and also rare triplets. Each of them was a cultivation genius, and their strength were all above the late Xiantian realm.
However, it was a bit of a pity that the three of them had never entered the top 50.
Of course, this was not to say that the three brothers were not powerful enough. On the contrary, since the three of them were siblings, they had also practiced a set of joint attacks, and in battle, they could almost link their minds together. Even a Yellow Rank master would have a headache when facing the combined attacks of the three brothers.
Seeing that no one else had arrived, an outer court elder who was already waiting at the foot of the tower stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "Disciple, today is the opening day of the once in a month tower of trials, which is also the competition for your ranking.
Now, I am about to open the tower of trials.
Before that, I must reiterate that for the first time, only twenty people will be allowed to enter the tower at the same time. After that, for every person that comes out, one person will be allowed to enter.
Please maintain order and enter the tower in order.
And your final results will appear at the top of the tower of trials.
Alright, please line up and receive your number plates from me.
After that, the trial will begin immediately. "
As he spoke, the elder took out a handful of numbered cards. From the start, he had lined up all the way until he was out of the hundreds.
After a short period of commotion, the disciples in the plaza quickly lined up in a neat line and took their number plates from the hands one after another.
After all the plates had been issued, the elder put away the rest of the plates, turned around, and went to the base of the tower. He placed his hands on the door, channeled all the true essence in his body, and forcefully pushed.
With a rumbling sound, the gate to the tower of trials opened.
However, a thin layer of light instantly spread out, blocking everyone's line of sight inside the tower.
"Now, please enter the tower of trials for disciples from number one to twenty."
After opening the door, the elder calmly turned around and said.
The disciples who had previously obtained the number plates of the top twenty all came to the elder's side, handed over the number plates in their hands, and walked into the pagoda.
As the twenty people entered the light barrier, a huge number appeared on the outer wall of the tower — — 20. It was the number of people who had entered the tower.
Very quickly, the number flashed and became 19. On the outer wall of the second floor, a large "1" appeared.
"Ah?" "Someone broke through the first level and entered the second level so quickly?"
Someone exclaimed in a low voice.
Because the first batch of disciples to enter were mostly the old disciples, most of them had already reached the second floor, but there was still time.
After about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, a disciple who was obviously not very strong suddenly appeared outside the tower.
At the same time, a row of large words appeared on top of the tower of trials: Zhang Xiaogang, trial level 1, persists for an incense stick of time. Currently you are outside of the top 1000.
Beside him was a huge curtain of light that densely recorded the rankings of all the disciples that had participated in the trial. However, it only displayed the top 1000 rankings, and the ones after that no longer displayed their names.
Seeing this disciple come out, the elder signaled the disciple with number twenty-one to enter the tower while he himself continued to guard the tower's entrance.
As people went in and out, the smelting trial continued in an orderly manner. As for those disciples who had obtained better results, they often attracted the envious shouts of others.
Very soon, it was Murong Feng's turn.
While the crowd was discussing, Murong Feng's figure disappeared into the light.
After Mu Rong Feng entered the tower, there were more people entering and exiting. However, the highest record so far was only up to the third floor.
Suddenly, the crowd buzzed with noise and clamor.
"Look, someone has entered the fourth floor!"
"Truly amazing!"
"Who could it be?"
"I think it must be Murong Feng. Among all the people in the tower, he is the strongest."
Furthermore, he used to almost pass the fourth floor. "
"That's right, Mu Rong Feng's strength is quite decent. It isn't strange for him to reach the fourth floor!"
"Yes."
Everyone was discussing and expressing their opinions.
Suddenly, Lu Feng felt someone walking towards him. He couldn't help but turn around to look.
The one who came before Lu Feng was the eldest of the three Jiang brothers, Jiang Kai.
"Are you the Lu Feng kid from Greencloud City?"
Jiang Kai carelessly said to Lu Feng, as if he did not put Lu Feng in his eyes at all.
"That's me!
Which onion are you? "
Lu Feng did not back down in the slightest.
Lu Feng's words made Jiang Kai's expression change, "Very good, you brat!
I just don't know if I have any hard goods.
How about it? Do you dare to compete with me?
You can choose any time and place you wish! "
Jiang Kai arrogantly said to Lu Feng.
"If you want to challenge this young master, you have to first announce your name. You are a nameless rat, yet you dare to act presumptuously in front of this young master?"
Lu Feng coldly snorted, and said expressionlessly.
"You!"
Jiang Kai's expression froze as if he couldn't believe that Lu Feng would dare to talk to him like that. He pointed at Lu Feng.
"Good, you have guts!
Listen up, I'm the eldest of the three Jiang brothers. My name is Jiang Kai, and the ones over there are my younger brothers, Jiang Shen and Jiang Chang.
I am challenging you on behalf of us three brothers, let's see if you dare to accept now?
"Kid, let me inform you in advance, when we are facing the enemy, we will all be fighting together. If our opponent is one person, we are also brothers; if our opponent is a hundred or ten thousand people, we are also brothers!"
"Oh? Brother, do you want to advance or retreat together with me? "
Lu Feng said indifferently.
"That's right!"
Jiang Kai nodded his head arrogantly.
However, what Lu Feng said next did not make Jiang Kai vomit blood.
"I just don't know if when you get married and enter the bridal chamber, will you all come at once?"
