"Brother, do you mind if I have a big meal for once?"
Lin Xi looked up, stunned for a moment.
He had imagined that there would be these kinds of people who came here to enjoy the autumn breeze and eat at wealthy families.
One is a playboy from a wealthy family who couldn't stand him eating one hundred and twenty dishes by himself, so he came to find trouble and even humiliated him.
One kind is the kind of weak casual cultivator or street gangster who just eats the last meal but fails to finish the meal.
It is also possible that he is the kind of part-time tour guide who sells information and guides people for a living. He acquires some small resources and practices hard.
But he didn't expect that the person standing in front of him didn't seem to have much to do with these types of people.
Moreover, at this time, this man with a strong body, a smile on his face, and some boldness, actually had torn clothes, a bruised nose and a swollen face, and one of his hands was broken.
It looks like I just had a fight with someone and suffered a big loss.
You said your hand was broken, and if you didn’t fix the bone quickly, why would you come here to make a fortune?
"If you're a big eater, you can skip it. If you're really hungry, just sit down and eat something..."
Lin Xi saw this man, who was in his early twenties and had real energy leaking from his body. He was actually a Qi Chaos realm martial artist.
Moreover, from his smiling eyes, this guy's eyes were very pure, which Lin Xi liked a little.
The man was overjoyed and sat down next to Lin Xi unceremoniously.
"Waiter, please add a set of tableware and some jars of red flowers to make it more convenient!"
Lin Xi bared his teeth.
This is...not treating yourself as a guest!
The man lowered his hand, unable to wait for the tableware to be delivered, so he directly used his other good hand to grab a monster crab produced in the Luohua River. He crushed it with his fingers and the crab shell fell off, then he put it directly into his mouth and began to chew it.
"My name is Xi Shuangmu. I come from Shuanghua City. I am twenty-four years old and not yet married. I am at the peak of the early stage of Qi Chaos Realm. Where are you, brother?"
Lin Xi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the man who called himself Xi Shuangmu.
My pseudonym is Xishuangmu, and he directly calls me Xishuangmu.
Is this... directed at me?
The man was munching on crab meat, but was a little surprised when he saw Lin Xi's cold eyes.
"My real name is Xi Shuangmu, and I belong to the Xi family in Shuanghua City. I have never heard of the genius of the Xi family, Xi Shuangmu, but I have always heard of the Xi family in Shuanghua City, right?"
Lin Xi thought about it and realized that there were some small towns around Luohua City. One was Luohua Town and the other was Shuanghua City, both of which were under the management of Luohua Prefecture.
Shuanghua City is a small city, he has heard of it, but the Xi family.
"Is the Xi family... famous?"
Lin Xi said disdainfully.
In Shuanghua City, which is a little bigger than Luohua Town, will the Xi family be famous in Luohua Prefecture?
This time, the greedy Xi Shuangmu was not happy.
"Brother, this is your fault."
"The Xi family is the leader of the four major families in Shuanghua City. Have you never heard of this? Aren't you from the Luohua Prefecture?"
Lin Xi smiled and then relaxed a little bit of vigilance.
Xi Shuangmu was a heartless person who was happy to be beaten to death.
"Okay, the Xi family is great. But what happens next?"
Snap!
Xi Shuangmu was so excited that she slapped her thigh vigorously. Then she held a hand and hissed and gasped.
It was normal for him to slap his thigh, but when he got excited, he raised his broken hand and slapped it, causing his facial muscles to twitch in pain.
Lin Xi felt strange.
"I said, Lao Xi, you, who came from the Xi family, don't have any healing elixirs?"
Xi Shuangmu was immediately embarrassed, but then became a little embarrassed and angry.
"How can you talk, brother? The Xi family, how come there is no elixir for healing wounds and broken bones? The Xi family, brother, that is the Xi family..."
Lin Xi was speechless. In your mind, the Xi family is probably the most powerful family in the Smallpox Kingdom and even the Qingchaos Domain.
"But where is your storage bag? Don't tell me that the Xi family won't even give you a storage bag when you go out..."
"Storage bag..."
Xi Shuangmu's face darkened for a moment, but then she smiled happily.
"I have the storage bag, but I lost it. It contained eighteen bottles of elixirs, one hundred low-grade Yuan stones, and one million taels of gold. I lost them all. Or else I would shamelessly eat your rich family? Haha..."
oh……
Lin Xi looked at his torn clothes. They looked valuable even when they were intact.
"Fortunately, I didn't lose your clothes..."
Xi Shuangmu was unhappy again.
"What are you talking about, brother? Didn't I just fail the last hurdle? I'm tenth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, I haven't beaten him yet, and I broke one of my hands. Otherwise... how could I lose to that little dude?"
He said with a look of reluctance and regret.
"Brother, I missed just a little bit, and passed the tenth place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and entered the Luohua Martial Arts Academy in advance, but hey... I won't say it anymore, it's all tears..."
Um?
Lin Xi suddenly became energetic.
I was just thinking about how to enter Luohua Martial Arts Academy as quickly as possible, when I got accurate news right away.
"Old Xi, come have a drink and tell me why you bet with others and why you were beaten by others?"
Xi Shuangmu stared.
"Can you talk? Can you comfort people? Are you gloating about misfortune? Can you still drink happily?"
Lin Xi immediately slapped his cheek.
"Look at my bad mouth, what...are you gambling and fighting in order to enter Luohua Martial Arts Academy in advance?"
Xi Shuangmu drank heavily, her face turned red, and she had long forgotten that her hands were still hurting.
Lin Xi took out a vitality pill at the right time and handed it to Xi Shuangmu.
"The best yellow-level elixir cannot make you recover immediately, Lao Xi. At least it can catch the broken bones, relieve pain and activate blood circulation..."
Xi Shuangmu probably never knew what politeness was, so he directly took the Vitality Pill, threw it into his mouth, took a sip of wine and put it into his belly. He no longer worried about the broken hand, as if the hand belonged to an unrelated person.
.
"Brother, look at so many people here. Most of them are geniuses from all over Luohua Prefecture, preparing to apply for Luohua Martial Arts Academy."
"However, Luohua Martial Arts Academy will not start recruiting students for another half a year. I couldn't wait any longer, so I went straight to the rankings."
Ranking?
What's the rule?
Lin Xi quickly poured the wine, and Xi Shuangmu who served her was very polite.
"Old Xi, tell me, what are the rules for ranking?"
Xi Shuangmu was surprised.
"Isn't that right, brother? You don't know how to rank? How did you get around in Luohua City?"
Lin Xi was speechless. Can I say that I come from the small place of Luohua Town?
"How are you talking, Lao Xi? Don't you allow me not to know? I've been sleeping for twenty years, and when I wake up, the world is changing so fast. I don't know the rules. Isn't it weird?"
Xi Shuangmu shook his head.
"It's not surprising. But...who are you lying to? You've been sleeping for twenty years and you haven't woken up since you were born?"
Lin Xi grabbed the Xi Shuangmu wine glass.
"Say it or not. If you don't say it, you are not allowed to drink..."
Xi Shuangmu bared her teeth in anger.
"Brother, why are you like this? Drinking, if you don't let me drink, you might as well give Lao Xi a knife...forget it, it doesn't matter how long you slept. Let me tell you..."
Take back the wine glass and pour yourself a drink.
"Luohua Martial Arts Academy recruits students every three years. The candidates admitted in each session are talented young people from all over the country. Of course... there are also talented girls... who cannot be more than twenty-five years old."
Lin Xi slandered.
At twenty-five, he's not considered a teenager anymore, right?
"Lao Xi, keep talking..."
"In each admissions session, hundreds of thousands of candidates apply for the exam. The number of admissions is only a thousand. Do you think this is more difficult?"
"But for those real geniuses, the examination process is very cumbersome and annoying, and it wastes time, right?"
"So, Luohua Martial Arts Institute established another exam rule. It is to take the test results!"
At this time, the one hundred and twenty dishes were basically ready, and the plates and plates that had been eaten on the table were taken away by the waiter.
Xi Shuangmu was invited to eat and drink, while Lin Xi patiently listened to Xi Shuangmu's daily life.
"This method of examination is not a real talent. No one dares to go to Luohua Martial Arts Academy. Otherwise, I don't know how many people will be beaten to death."
Lin Xi was surprised.
"Just take a test, why are there still people dying?"
Xi Shuang glanced at Lin Xi with admiration.
"You don't understand this!"
"The ranking process starts half a year before the official recruitment. You have to start from the 100th place on the list and gradually move up. Until you beat the tenth place in the top ten of the previous Hidden Dragon Ranking, you will be eligible to be advanced to the Luohua Martial Arts Academy.
Admission."
Lin Xi groaned in her heart, thinking that making a ranking was a good idea, but it still seemed a bit too slow.
"Does it have to be hit one by one? Can't you hit while jumping?"
Xi Shuangmu drank until her face turned red.
"Okay. But you can skip ten at most. In other words, if you beat the 100th place, you can directly challenge the 90th place. If you beat the 90th place, you can continue to challenge the 80th place. At least ten fights.
, and only if you win them all will you be eligible for special admission."
"Oh...then there's no need to die, right?"
Xi Shuangmu despised Lin Xi and rolled her eyes disdainfully.
"You don't understand this. If people are not allowed to die, how many cats and dogs will come up to challenge them in the past six months? How many geniuses are on the Hidden Dragon List? Are they going to be bored to death?"
"As soon as the rule of allowing death and injury was established, the number of people on the list immediately became scarce. Who is not afraid of death? The geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List are the most talented group in Luohua City. They are basically invincible at the same level. There are no two or three.
Are you going to die?"
At this time, there were many young martial arts cultivators who seemed to be applying for the exam, and they were all attracted by Xi Shuangmu, and they all showed expressions of admiration or fear.
Xi Shuangmu was proud.
"Did you see that? These scumbags, how dare they take exams? They have to wait for half a year to take the official exam. That will basically not kill anyone..."
Lin Xi continued to be puzzled.
"But... let's just compete in the rankings. How could we lose so much that we almost lose our pants?"
Xi Shuangmu almost choked on her wine when the sore spot was mentioned.
"Brother, can you... can you not mention this? Although losing some money and things is nothing, but he is embarrassed..."
Lin Xi was too embarrassed to ask further.
At this moment, a group of people strode towards Lin Xi's dining table.
The leader, a boy who was luxuriously dressed and as fat as a pig, came over waving a folding fan and laughing with a sharp drake voice.
"What's going on? Xi Shuangmu, the genius of the Xi family in Shuanghua City, doesn't he dare to tell anyone if he loses?"
A group of scoundrels behind me were making noises and quarrels.
"You were beaten all over the floor by Zhu Da, the tenth genius of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and one of his hands was broken. Your storage bag was also lost to my young master. So how do you have the courage to compete in the rankings?"
"Yes, yes, the genius of the Xi family has a broken hand and still has the nerve to cheat on you with food and drink. You are really big-hearted!"
boom!
Xi Shuangmu stood up suddenly and confronted him angrily.
"Zhu Dachang, you are really looking for trouble, aren't you? Others are afraid of you, the Zhu family of Luohua City, don't think that I am also afraid of you!"
boom!
When Lin Xi saw an acquaintance in a group of people in Zhu Dachang, her head immediately pounded and she couldn't believe it.
