Behind Meng Zhao, Niu Dali and Yuan Bin were shocked when they first heard that Shen Tianci, a peerless genius, had begun to attack the master's martial arts. They were shaken up and down, and they were unbearably bitter.
However, compared to others, the two of them do not lack confidence in Meng Zhao, nor do they think that Shen Tianci is necessarily better than Meng Zhao, because only those who have truly seen Meng Zhao's martial arts will know that this Dragon King is definitely not
What a good thing.
Even the two innate extreme masters, activating the demon Buddha's relics and using three moves of Grandmaster level power, were unable to do anything to Meng Zhao. Even if Shen Tianci crossed the barrier in one step and became a Grandmaster, he might not be Meng Zhao's opponent in a fight. Furthermore, as Meng Zhao's subordinates, both of them had secretly known their master, and knew that this man was a late bloomer with little experience.
Although Meng Zhao's performance in the past few years was mediocre, within a few months of entering Xiantian, his cultivation had reached the point where he could practice Qi and become a gang. In real terms, Shen Tianci, who had been wasting several years in this state, was at a disadvantage.
Li Ya'er and Li Xinglu couldn't restrain the questions in their hearts, and Li Xinglu asked,
"Second brother, when did you go to the Shen family in Jinling? You also met Shen Tianci, why didn't we know?"
Li Xingchen had a superiority complex towards Meng Zhao, but he was much kinder to his sister. He laughed, feeling a little proud but also a little melancholy.
"I never told anyone about my trip to Jinling, and I used other excuses to hide my whereabouts and purpose. If my family didn't deliberately investigate, of course they wouldn't know."
Li Ya'er nodded. Due to the increasing pressure brought by the imperial army in Xuzhou recently, a lot of the family's thoughts are on how to secretly support the rebels to resist the imperial court, and they have no intention of focusing on the younger generations of the family.
Although Li Xingchen's identity is unusual, he deliberately concealed it and it was true that no one would notice it.
Li Ya'er is not curious about his nephew's methods of hiding his whereabouts, but is curious about his purpose.
"When you went to Shen's house to meet Shen Tianci, did you just look at him specifically?"
Li Xingchen shook his head, feeling a little sad, a little confused, and even more angry.
"Fourth uncle, you know very well what my situation is in the family, and what level my cultivation strength has reached. You should also understand that in the world, there are not many people with talents that surpass me, but there are definitely not many.<
/p>
Tell me, why can those who are not as good as me become famous all over the world, but I can only remain unknown and hidden by my family, pretending to be a dandy with no knowledge and skills, just eating, drinking and having fun?"
For a while, no one questioned Li Xingchen's self-evaluation. They just felt that he really had such talent and talent and it really shouldn't be buried.
Just like a peerless horse can only pull a cart, a strong man with unparalleled strength can only bury his head in the fields. I am afraid that only I can taste the grief, anger and depression that cannot be expressed, and outsiders cannot empathize with it.
.
Of course, to put it in more practical terms, Li Xingchen is unwilling to remain unknown and wants to compete for fame.
It is common for young people to like to be in the limelight. Throughout the ages, few have been able to understand fame and fortune.
Therefore, when he went to see Shen Tianci, it was not that he could not understand, but perhaps he just wanted to see who was stronger and weaker between himself and Shen Tianci, and even if there was a gap, how big was the gap.
Judging from his current performance, the legitimate son of the Li family is probably convinced by Shen Tianci and is willing to accept him, but he doesn't like Meng Zhao very much, so he asked such a question.
After expressing his dissatisfaction and resentment, Li Xingchen turned his attention to Meng Zhao and stabbed him as sharply as two long swords rising into the sky, with terrifying sharpness.
"Meng Zhao, how about it? Can you answer the question I just asked?
Shen Tianci is sixteen years old and is about to become a grandmaster. You are already twenty and have only achieved your current level of cultivation. How can you stand on par with him? It is just a joke to sink south and north."
As soon as these words came out, Li Ya'er was shocked. He had been thinking just now that he couldn't let his arrogant nephew be at odds with Meng Zhao. If he turned around and made such a fuss, wouldn't it make it difficult for him?<
/p>
Niu Dali and Yuan Bin beside Meng Zhao were even more angry. They wanted to humiliate their ministers to death. Now Li Xingchen looked down on Meng Zhao even more than he looked down on the two of them, so he glared with murderous intent.
It seems that he is about to take action at any time to teach this pretentious and arrogant guy a lesson.
Both of them are innate masters and strongmen. Stimulated by murderous intent, the ten innate guards of the Li family immediately felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. They watched with great nervousness as Niu Dali and Yuan Bin perfected their Qi skills.
One piece, pressed towards the two of them.
Just when the tension was about to explode, Meng Zhao coughed lightly, immediately breaking the heavy and tense atmosphere. He didn't care about the doubts in Li Xingchen's words, and smiled and said,
"What Brother Li said is not unreasonable. Simply speaking of cultivation, age, and achievements, I am indeed a little behind Shen Tianci. Juxtaposed with him is unconvincing.
However, those of us in the martial arts must be able to do what we cannot do, dare to do what we dare not do, and maintain great ambitions, so that we can live up to this life.
I think back then, when I was in Nan'an, I could only achieve a small level of cultivation, while Shen Tianci was already a powerful person at the innate level. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a difference between clouds and mud, and a difference between heaven and earth.
At that time, it was not much harder for Shen Tianci to kill me than to crush an ant.
Time has passed, and now I am confident that even if the God-given Lin'er has the background and potential to challenge the Grandmaster, in a battle with me, the outcome will only be a 50-50 outcome."
In these few words, Meng Zhao showed both humility and pride. Although he was not as good as Shen Tianci in some aspects, he was superior to him in other aspects.
Before Li Xingchen could speak, Meng Zhao continued,
"As for being named together with Shen Tianci, I think with Brother Li's family background and experience, I must know that some people are deliberately doing it and adding fuel to the flames, which is not what I want."
Somehow, if he said the previous sentence, it would still make Li Xingchen feel dissatisfied and feel that Meng Zhao was arrogant. However, adding the latter sentence, his anger subsided unconsciously and he looked at Meng Zhao again.
sighed,
"Yes, if I was doubtful before, now you are indeed qualified to be on par with him."
In other words, Li Xingchen could intuitively feel that Meng Zhao's state of mind and spiritual cultivation were somewhat similar to Shen Tianci.
Shen Tianci has a pure heart, unstained by the mortal world, while Meng Zhao is completely peaceful, like an abyss.
In fact, the pressure brought to him is almost the same.
"Of course, I'm still unwilling.
When I was three years old, my family used Tian Qing Yuan Dan to build my foundation and polish my nature. When I was five years old, I practiced internal martial arts.
, entered Xiantian at the age of nineteen, and reached the eight orifices cultivation level, which was as powerful as breaking bamboo.
To this day, I have mastered the supreme sword, and even those who claim to be innate can hardly withstand a sword. Looking at the world's heroes, few can match it.
I am unwilling to be anonymous and nameless like this."
