"What a miracle." Ma Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I almost lost my life in order to win the game."
"Anyway, I'm really surprised that you won the first place." Xiong Datou sighed softly: "If I were half as capable as you, I wouldn't have lost so miserably."
"Don't be anxious, take your time. With your talent, you will be successful sooner or later." Ma Xiaoyao reached out and patted Xiong Datou on the shoulder: "How are you and Zhuang Xiaorou? Have you seen each other in the past few days?"
Upon hearing the words "Zhuang Xiaorou", Xiong Datou's face suddenly darkened: "I haven't seen her for several days."
"What's going on? You were injured, didn't she come to visit you?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned.
Xiong Datou shook his head: "Xiaorou is under house arrest."
"House arrest? Who dares to put her under house arrest... Well, it can't be Elder Zhuang..."
"That's Elder Zhuang."
"Why did Elder Zhuang put Zhuang Xiaorou under house arrest? It couldn't be because of you, right?"
"You guessed it right, it's because of me." Xiong Datou smiled bitterly: "Just yesterday, Elder Zhuang called me over and talked to me a lot..."
"What did he tell you?" Ma Xiaoyao asked curiously.
"Elder Zhuang said... Xiaorou and I are not suitable. He asked me to stay away from Xiaorou in the future and stop pestering Xiaorou." At this point, Xiong Datou sighed: "I know very well that Elder Zhuang looks down on me...
…”
"Then how did you reply to Elder Zhuang?"
"I told Elder Zhuang that I will not give up on Xiaorou. I love Xiaorou and I want to marry Xiaorou! No one can stop us from falling in love!"
"Did you really answer that?"
"Yes." Xiong Datou nodded vigorously.
"..." Ma Xiaoyao's face twitched a few times: "Then... what did Elder Zhuang say?"
"He was very angry and kicked me out directly. He also said that he would give me a few days to think it over and give him an answer after I have thought it through." Xiong Datou was quite honest and repeated everything Zhuang Zizai said.
"Brother Xiong." Ma Xiaoyao said hesitantly: "If you do this... I'm afraid you will get yourself into a lot of trouble... You should talk to Elder Zhuang in a different way, and say something nice instead of forcefully."
"Alas..." Xiong Datou shook his head helplessly: "My mother once said to me that love is the most tortured thing. At that time, I was still young and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but now... I finally
I understand, love is indeed torture."
Ma Xiaoyao patted Xiong Datou on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged! The reason why Elder Zhuang doesn't agree with you dating Zhuang Xiaorou is simply because your cultivation level is too low. As long as you speed up your cultivation and work hard to improve your cultivation level, Elder Zhuang will
I will no longer object to your dating Zhuang Xiaorou."
"You're right." Xiong Datou nodded: "I will work hard! I will prove to Elder Zhuang that I, Xiong Datou, am not a coward!"
"Don't leave today, we two brothers will have a nice drink tonight." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Okay, I haven't drank for several days and I'm really hungry." Xiong Datou readily agreed.
…
Ten days later.
Ma Xiaoyao stood in the meeting hall of Chaotian Peak, feeling very excited. After waiting for so many days, it was finally time to award the award.
The meeting hall is very luxurious and gorgeous, several times more gorgeous than the palace in the world.
"Stand still, don't look around." Zhuang Zizai glared at Ma Xiaoyao.
Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly put his eyes back, then straightened his head and looked forward. He no longer dared to look around. After a while, Ma Xiaoyao couldn't help but ask: "Elder Zhuang, I heard that
Today...the leader will show up?"
"Are you quite well-informed?" Zhuang Zizai's lips curled up slightly: "That's right, the leader will show up in person to award you the reward today."
"Really?" Ma Xiaoyao looked a little excited: "Elder Zhuang, is the master's cultivation level very high?"
"Of course." Zhuang Zizai nodded: "Except for the Supreme Elder, the master has the highest cultivation level. You are lucky to meet the master today. Some disciples have joined the Kunwu Sect for dozens of years.
In the next year, I may not be able to meet the leader."
"Tai Shang Elder? Is there anyone in Kunwu Sect who is more powerful than the leader?" Ma Xiaoyao asked in surprise.
"Do your job well and don't ask about other things." To Ma Xiaoyao's disappointment, Zhuang Zizai didn't want to talk too much about the Taishang Elder's affairs.
Although Ma Xiaoyao kept his mouth shut, he kept thinking in his heart. He originally thought that the most powerful person in the Kunwu Sect was the leader, but who knew there was a Supreme Elder hidden behind him... Listening to Zhuang Zizi's tone,
It seems that this Supreme Elder is much more powerful than the leader...
As far as Ma Xiaoyao knew, the leader thought he was an earth-level master, so what kind of cultivation level would the Taishang Elder have? Could he be a heaven-level master?
In the world of Tiangong Star, heaven-level masters are the top figures. As long as they practice to the tenth level of heaven-level, they can reach the legendary realm of immortals.
It's a pity that no one has been able to succeed from ancient times to the present, so that everyone is doubting...are there any immortals in this world?
"The leader is here!"
The sudden shout directly interrupted Ma Xiaoyao's contemplation. He raised his head and saw a strange man walking into the hall. This man was wearing a gorgeous robe and a metal crown. He put his hands behind his back and naturally showed a look on his body.
The momentum of those in power.
"See the leader!"
"Happy Master!"
The elders of the outer sect, whose eyes were usually higher than their heads, instantly became extremely docile and all bowed down to salute.
Is this the leader of the Kunwu Sect? He looks really extraordinary! Ma Xiaoyao said secretly in his heart.
Under the awed gaze of everyone, the leader walked up the steps, finally sat on a chair, and then waved his hand: "No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Master!" These outer sect elders thanked them, and then they all stood upright, looking forward, with very serious expressions.
"The two disciples who won the first place in the competition come forward." The master's voice was not loud, but it could be clearly heard in everyone's ears.
Ma Xiaoyao and another Huang-level disciple hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"You are the first place in this martial arts competition? Yes, all good... Huh?" The leader looked at Ma Xiaoyao in surprise: "If I'm not mistaken... you should be at the third level of innate cultivation, right?"
"The master's eyes are as bright as a torch. This disciple is indeed of the third level of innate cultivation." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
"It is really rare for a third-level innate cultivation level to win the first place!" The leader smiled: "Are you too powerful, or are the other disciples too weak? Can you tell me how you won the first place?
One person?"
"This..." Ma Xiaoyao looked a little embarrassed: "Reporting to the leader, cultivation is important, but the mind is even more important. I won the first place by relying on my intelligence."
"Intelligence?" The leader laughed, and the laughter was so loud that it shook the whole hall: "Who can explain to me what is going on?"
Yang Gongde, the elder of Chaotian Peak's outer sect, hurriedly stepped forward and told the story in the simplest possible terms. Yang Gongde spoke truthfully, neither exaggerating nor deliberately concealing anything.
After listening to Yang Gongde's words, the leader's face suddenly became wonderful. He looked at Ma Xiaoyao with great interest: "You are so good! You can even use such despicable methods, and you succeeded.
, OK, really OK.”
"Master, I..." Ma Xiaoyao was about to speak, but was interrupted by the master.
"You don't need to explain." The leader waved his hand: "You can win because of your ability! Although the method is a bit disgraceful, it does not violate the rules of the competition, so your results will count."
"Thank you, Master." Ma Xiaoyao breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Your name is Ma Xiaoyao, right?" the leader suddenly asked.
"Yes, my disciple's name is Ma Xiaoyao." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
"No, hold this stone and let me see your bones." The leader casually threw a white stone over.
Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly caught the stone, held it tightly, and then sent Qi into the stone.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Five colors of light suddenly appeared on the stone.
"It's really the attribute of the Five Elements." A trace of disappointment flashed in the leader's eyes: "Your bones are really... bad! What a pity, what a pity for such a good head!" After confirming that Ma Xiaoyao has the attribute of the Five Elements,
The leader immediately lost interest in Ma Xiaoyao: "No, this is your reward, put it all away." The leader waved his sleeves, and two wooden boxes suddenly appeared in front of him, and there was no sign of the leader.
With any movement, the two boxes automatically flew towards Ma Xiaoyao and another Huang-level disciple.
Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch the box. His hand was so light that he could hardly feel any weight.
"Okay, this is the end of the award ceremony. Everyone, please go back." The leader swayed slightly and disappeared.
Ma Xiaoyao secretly sighed, he is worthy of being an earth-level master, he is so awesome!
"Let's go." Zhuang Zizai picked up the dazed Ma Xiaoyao and quickly left the hall. After a while, Zhuang Zizai and Ma Xiaoyao returned to Ziyun Peak.
"Go back and practice hard. If you encounter any questions you don't understand, ask Tianhai. If he can't answer, come to me." After saying this, Zhuang Zizai flew away. After cultivating to the Xuan level, he can practice
A brief flight into the air.
After Zhuang Zizai's figure completely disappeared, Ma Xiaoyao returned to his residence. He closed and locked the door, then gently placed the box in his arms on the table, took a deep breath, and waited.
After he calmed down, he reached out and opened the lid of the box.
"Swipe!"
The moment the lid of the box was opened, two dazzling rays of light, one white and one blue, appeared side by side, looking very beautiful.
There were two things in the box, a simple and elegant ring and a palm-sized fan.
