As Zhao Kun announced the list of promoted players, the first round of competition came to a successful conclusion, and the audience began to leave.
"It's six forty." I glanced at my phone and said helplessly: "The first round took too long, I'm even hungry."
"Huh? How about we go to Baiweilou to arrange a meal?" Hearing this, Xie Zhen looked a little confused and asked with bright eyes.
"Are you a ghost?" I glanced at Xie Zhen and asked, "Xie Zhen, a poor guy, can't afford Baiweilou."
"No." Xie Zhen said guiltily: "Don't think I am poor now, but this is definitely only temporary. When I become rich in the future, I..."
"Okay, okay, I understand. Please come back later, right? I'll treat you to this meal!"
I quickly interrupted him. He had said this so many times that my ears were numb.
If I want a poor guy like Xie Zhen to treat me to dinner, I can't hope for it in the short term.
"Okay, a bunch of poor people, stop fighting, I'm going to treat you!"
Sun Zimo waved his hand generously and said boldly and authentically. There are so many children of the Sun family here, how can we really invite others? He happened to be a little hungry, so he invited me. Anyway, it was not short of a meal.
"Really?" Xu Xuan was originally going to leave, but when Sun Zimo took the initiative to speak, he refused to leave and said with a smile: "In this case, I won't be polite to you."
"..." Sun Zimo was speechless. Xu Xuan, you are already a two-star strong man, but you can actually do such a thing as eating and drinking.
"Thank you, Brother Mo!" On the side, Xu Xue smiled sweetly and made a timely stab.
"...Let's go to Baiwei Tower."
Sun Zimo held his forehead with one hand, I am afraid that I will be beaten by these Xu brothers and sisters today.
Baiweilou.
Sun Zimo was really rich. He ordered a large table of dishes, and many of the dishes were medicinal meals made with special ingredients. They were expensive and had the magical effect of replenishing ghost energy. Most members simply couldn't afford them.
"Sun Yu, didn't you just lose a game? Don't be so downcast, cheer up and practice hard, and fight back next time!" Sun Zimo looked at a young man sitting in the corner and scolded.
Sun Yu is ranked eighty-eight in the rankings, and he is not considered weak. However, in the first round of the competition, he met a stronger opponent and lost miserably, which caused him to feel a little depressed.
"I understand, Brother Mo." Sun Yu nodded and his condition improved a lot.
"That's right, I, the Sun family, can't stop moving forward just because of this setback..." Sun Zimo sounded like an elder when he spoke, but in fact, Sun Zimo was not much older than Sun Yu.
Two years old.
"After all, it is a big family, there are so many people..." Seeing Sun Zimo lecturing several Sun family children, I said to myself: "There are so many people in the younger generation alone."
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Xu Xue who was eating dessert next to me. Compared with the Sun family, the Xu family didn't seem to have many people. I seemed to have met Xu Xue and Xu Xuan in the younger generation.
"Actually, there's nothing surprising. Our Xu family is a new family, so our population is naturally not as prosperous as a family like the Sun family that has been passed down for hundreds of years."
Xu Xue seemed to have noticed my thoughts and explained: "However, my father is very powerful, and my grandfather Xu Jian is also a well-known blacksmith, so the position of the five major families is quite secure."
"Of course, if you want to continue to be strong, you still have to rely on the support of future generations, so my father has great expectations for my brother and me." Xu Xue said calmly.
"That must be very hard, right?"
"It's not very hard. In fact, people in our family rarely participate in various battles. They only care about improving their own strength. Of course, they will still fight when they should, but most of their thoughts are on getting stronger."
Xu Xue replied: "My elders have said that fighting between human beings is completely meaningless and worthless."
At this point, Xu Xue seemed unwilling to continue talking, so she changed the subject and said with a smile: "By the way, Ye Yan, grandpa asked me to give you a message. He said he hopes you won't slack off these days.
Try to break through to the late one-star peak as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, I was startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will work hard."
Mr. Xu values me so much, I can't live up to his expectations!
"Hey, I may have a fake grandpa. He has never been so interested in me." Xu Xuan glanced at me silently and said resentfully: "I really don't know why he is so good to you."
I touched my nose. Could it be that Xu Jian saw my extraordinary talent and fell in love with it?
Xu Xue, on the other hand, looked at the Yang Yan Sword in my hand, with an incomprehensible meaning in her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
In fact, this is what I planned. The competition lasts for six days. If I can seize the time to practice during this period, my strength may not be able to reach a higher level.
As long as I can break through to the one-star peak, the ordinary one-star peak should not be my opponent. As long as my luck is not too bad, my top ten will be stable.
Of course, this premise is that I can break through to the late one-star peak, otherwise if I meet some opponents at the top of the rankings, I will still probably lose.
"To be on the safe side, I'll start to break through to the one-star peak when I get back." I thought to myself.
If you want to become stronger, you must fight. Only by fighting step by step can you be the first!
After having a full meal, Sun Zimo paid the bill with a heartbroken look on his face. These guys were so good at eating! Especially Xie Zhen, who ate enough for three people.
My heart hurt so much, but I still had to pretend to be indifferent on my face. Sun Zi Mofeng said calmly: "Go back early. I wish you good results in advance."
"Thank you, Brother Mo."
We looked grateful. Brother Mo was so kind. He not only treated us to dinner, but also encouraged us with words.
After going back, I took out a small black bag from the bedroom, which contained the ghost crystals I obtained during the hunting battle. There are still twelve pieces left.
These ghost crystals are the foundation for my breakthrough!
"I'm going to practice in the yard for a while."
I said something to everyone in the living room, and put the Qi-boosting pills I just took out of the drawer into the hands of Lin Wei and Zhang Xinyu. It took a lot of effort to get these two Qi-boosting pills.
.
A piece of snowflake floated down from the sky. However, when it touched the light blue airflow, it instantly turned into water vapor.
In the quiet courtyard, a young man with his eyes closed was sitting on the ground. Wisps of invisible energy were slowly flowing into his body from the crystal on his left hand side.
As time went by, the crystal gradually lost its crystal light. Finally, with a clicking sound, the crystal suddenly turned into a pile of debris.
"Depend on!"
I opened my eyes, looked at the broken pieces in my hand, and couldn't help but curse. Another ghost crystal was wasted, and now three of them were broken.
Originally, I thought that after a few days, my bottleneck should be loosened, and I might be able to break through to the one-star peak directly with the help of ghost crystals.
But now it seems that I have thought too much. The energy of the ghost crystal is entering the body, and the ghost energy in the body is going out through the pores of the body. Obviously, I am still stuck in the bottleneck period. If this can improve my strength,
There's a ghost!
"It will be a waste if we continue to use it."
I'm a little impatient. Why can't I sell it at the last hurdle? Is it really that difficult?
"Don't worry, this hurdle is inherently difficult to overcome. It's no easier than stepping from the peak of one star to the perfection of one star!" At this time, Ye Yuyou moved a small bench and sat in front of me.
He said comfortingly.
"You're right, I'm really a little impatient." I nodded and sighed softly: "How can it be so easy to break through the one-star peak..."
Indeed, if the one-star peak was so easy to break through, there wouldn't be so many people stuck in front of this hurdle. It is indeed a bit fanciful for me to think that I can break through in a few days.
"Step by step, have you sensed the existence of the soul now?" Ye Yuyou thought for a while and asked.
"Not yet, but sometimes I can vaguely sense the vague connection, but I still can't sense the so-called 'soul'!" Hearing this, I shrugged and replied.
Everything in the world has a soul, and the soul is the beginning of life. The ghost energy that is usually controlled by us is actually a kind of soul power.
However, before the peak of One Star, because our souls are too weak, we cannot sense the soul. Only a very small number of people can sense the existence of the soul before this.
But that is a very small minority after all, for the vast majority of people
The symbol of one-star peak is the soul's appearance!
