Outside the Huoling Sect, a group of people had gathered early.
All of these disciples will be the ones who will go to Yucheng together with the sect leader Lingxuan.
In addition, there are two elders among them.
These two people are the Great Elder Zhang Qifei and the Fifth Elder Xu Songzhi.
As for the second elder, they have to guard the Fire Spirit Sect.
At this time, since the sect master and Liu Hao had not come over yet, the crowd was noisy and everyone was talking in low voices.
"Do you think Liu Hao is really capable of entering the top five in the resource competition?"
"How is this possible? With his strength at the Yuan King realm, let alone the top five, it would be difficult to get into the top twenty or even thirty."
"I don't think so. Since Liu Hao dares to bet with the Fourth Elder so confidently, he must have some capital, right? It may be a little difficult to get into the top ten, but it shouldn't be difficult to get into the top twenty."
"Just entering the top twenty? Then how can he win this bet?"
"No matter what, he can't win! It's impossible for him to get into the top ten, let alone the top five?"
"I think so too. No matter what aspect you look at, Liu Hao doesn't have the ability to be in the top five."
"In that case, why did the sect leader agree to this bet? This Liu Hao is a fool, is the sect leader also a fool?"
"This is not a question of whether they are stupid or not, but a question of whether they have to prove themselves. Under the circumstances at that time, without this bet, the sect leader would definitely not be able to step down."
"If the sect leader is forced to step down by the fourth elder, he may not be able to keep his position as the sect leader. At that time, the fourth elder said that he would judge the sect leader, so this bet is obviously a better one.
option, at least, there is a chance to take a gamble."
"..."
A group of disciples gathered together, still discussing the issue of the sect's bet.
Wang Zhongyun, who was also standing among the disciples, frowned slightly as he listened to the discussions of these people.
He still knew a little bit about Liu Hao's background.
Knowing Liu Hao's ability, it is still very easy to enter the top twenty.
As for the top ten, or even the top five, it really depends on luck.
After all, even if he wants to get a good ranking, he still needs some luck.
Luck is also part of strength.
Therefore, he actually somewhat agrees with some of these people's views.
For example, they say take a gamble!
Liu Hao is indeed a gambler.
However, this is still based on strength after all.
Therefore, Wang Zhongyun does not agree with most of these people's views.
But he didn't refute it.
It's not that I'm disdainful, but I think it's unnecessary.
Sometimes, a display of strength is far more powerful than a few nonsense words.
Moreover, he still hopes Liu Hao can win from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, the more people outside think Liu Hao is bad, the happier he is inside.
However, everyone looked down upon Liu Hao so much, which still made him feel a little dissatisfied.
Disciples from the same sect, no matter what, shouldn't have such a mentality, right?
Therefore, he frowned and couldn't help but speak out.
"The sect leader is here!"
But at this moment, someone suddenly spoke up.
As soon as these words came out, the discussion disappeared instantly.
As the sect leader Ling Xuan came out with Liu Hao and Ling Wan'er, the outside of the sect immediately became quiet.
"Is everyone here?"
Lingxuan glanced at everyone and asked.
"We're all here!"
The person who answered was Great Elder Zhang Qifei.
"Then I will declare three rules!"
Lingxuan looked at everyone and said, "The first rule is, after arriving in the city, don't run around and don't cause trouble. If you want to take action, you must be followed by an elder."
"Second, after we arrive at Yucheng, there will still be ten days before the official battle for resources begins."
"I will give you eight days to go to the resource battle site to familiarize yourself with the situation."
"While you are familiar with the situation, don't cause trouble and just stay in your own area."
"The third one is also the most important one."
"In this battle for resources, we must do our best to achieve the best results."
"The better your grades, the better the rewards you will get."
"Here, I guarantee you that everyone who can enter the ranked battle will receive an additional high-grade Yuan Shen Dan and a resource reward that will be doubled within ten years."
Hearing this, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
For them, a high-grade soul pill can increase their strength by at least half a level.
Such an elixir would take hundreds or even thousands of years to be refined even by a force like the Fire Spirit Sect.
Moreover, the quantity of each furnace will not be too much.
Only thirty pieces at most.
Therefore, these disciples are very yearning for it.
Moreover, in addition to this elixir, there is also a reward that doubles the resources.
This will be of great help to them in their cultivation and alchemy.
You must know that they are all core disciples, and their own resources are very high. If they can be doubled, they can make other plans.
"Okay, let's leave now and go to Yucheng!"
After saying the three rules, Lingxuan waved his hand and took Liu Hao and Ling Wan'er to take the first step.
The two elders led the others to follow immediately.
…
"metropolitan!"
On the way, Wang Zhongyun suddenly broke away from the team behind him and caught up with Lingxuan, Liu Hao and Ling Wan'er, "Wan'er, Brother Hao!"
Lingxuan nodded and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Oh it's all right."
Wang Zhongyun said, "Even Junior Sister Wan'er is here too. I would like to ask if Junior Sister Wan'er also wants to participate in the battle for resources?"
"The quotas for the resource competition have been determined, and Wan'er will not steal other people's quotas."
Lingxuan replied, "She is coming here this time just to familiarize herself with the situation."
He added, "After all, she can practice now, and maybe she will represent the sect in the battle for resources in the future."
In fact, the reason why Ling Wan'er came with her was simply because she was worried about Liu Hao.
So, you must follow.
However, Lingxuan naturally wouldn't say much about this kind of thing.
"I see!"
Wang Zhongyun nodded, not doubting that he was there.
…
The rest of the journey was silent.
After half a day.
At nightfall, Lingxuan and the Huo Lingzong group finally arrived at Yucheng.
The elder Wang Qing arranged by the Huoling Sect to live in the city has already arranged a place to stay.
Therefore, as soon as people arrived, they went directly to the restaurant to check in.
After moving in, Wang Qing sent the information he received to Lingxuan.
After Lingxuan took the resources, he read them over and then handed them to the First Elder Zhang Qifei and the Fifth Elder Xu Songzhi.
After the two of them finished, they handed it back to Lingxuan.
"Do you understand the situation?"
Lingxuan asked the two of them.
The two nodded to express their understanding.
"In that case, just follow them down here!"
Lingxuan said, "Explain the situation to them. Tomorrow, we will have a day off, and the day after tomorrow we will let them enter the resource battle site to get familiar with it."
The two men nodded immediately, then turned around and led the people down.
This time, the Fire Spirit Sect has a total of twelve places.
In addition to Liu Hao, there are eleven people.
Among them, six people headed by Wang Zhongyun followed the great elder, and the other five followed the fifth elder.
This was assigned before coming here.
At this time, they took the people away, leaving only Liu Hao and Ling Wan'er.
Lingxuan handed the information in his hand to Liu Hao, "First, after you finish, if you don't understand anything, you can ask Elder Wang directly."
Wang Qing hasn't left yet and stays here.
As a collector of information, he must be more familiar with the situation of the various forces and forces.
And Liu Hao is the key to the success of the Huo Ling Sect's participation in this battle for resources.
Therefore, it is definitely necessary to let Liu Hao understand the situation better.
"kindness!"
Liu Hao nodded, took the information, and started.
About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Hao was finished.
Then, he handed the information in his hand to Lingxuan.
Lingxuan took the information and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"Two little questions!"
As Liu Hao spoke, he turned his gaze to Wang Qing and said, "Elder Wang, I heard the sect leader say before that there is a powerful figure hidden in the Xingsha Sect, but I am a very powerful person in the Xingsha Sect.
On the list of six people, there is no particularly strong person!"
"Whether it is Wu Tianshu, the number one figure in the Xingsha Sect, or Wei Tianqi, the number two figure, they are both at the peak level of Emperor Yuan's strength."
"If they only have such strength, how can they compete with the Diyang Sect for the first place?"
"The information recorded in that document is that it has been determined that Chen Tianqiang, the number one genius disciple of the Diyang Sect, is capable of the early stage of Yuan Sheng."
"And the second genius disciple Ximen Zhi is also between the early stage of Yuan Sheng and the peak state of Yuan Emperor."
"However, the Xingsha Sect doesn't even have a single person with strength between the two."
"This shouldn't be normal, right?"
Hearing this, Wang Qing nodded.
He replied, "You are right. Based on the information alone, this is indeed a bit abnormal."
"However, the disciple quotas submitted by various forces are all disciples of the original sect, so they only need to verify their identities."
"And there is no need for special verification of strength."
"Naturally, we can't know the specific strength of those people."
"So, any person marked with a key mark here needs special attention."
"Because they are most likely the hidden cards of these forces."
Hearing this, Liu Hao frowned.
Asked, "In other words, all those who have been marked have not been recognized for their strength?"
Wang Qing nodded and replied, "Yes!"
"Second question, the information says that there will be eight seeded players in this resource competition."
Liu Hao continued, "Among them, Diyang Sect and Xingsha Sect each have two quotas. Among the remaining forces, the four strongest forces divide the other four quotas."
"The strength of our Fire Spirit Sect should be among the four strongest forces besides the two sects, right?"
"Why don't we have a share of these four seed spots?"
The seed quota means that you can enter the ranking competition directly without participating in the selection competition.
That means entering the top 16 directly.
It stands to reason that with the strength of the Fire Spirit Sect, they can definitely have a seed quota.
However, the seed players marked by the data have nothing to do with the Fire Spirit Sect.
"Because, in the previous resource competitions, our Huo Ling Sect didn't do our best and was just going through the motions."
This time, Wang Qing did not answer, but the sect leader Lingxuan answered, "So, the results are relatively low, so naturally the seed quota this time will not be ours."
Liu Hao nodded and said, "I have no problem."
Lingxuan turned to Wang Qing and said, "Elder Wang, thank you for your hard work. Go down and rest first!"
Wang Qing nodded and retreated.
After Wang Qing retreated, Lingxuan turned to Liu Hao.
Asked, "After reviewing the information, how confident are you that you will be in the top five?"
"The information is not detailed enough, so I cannot give a specific answer."
Liu Hao replied, "However, based on the information, the possibility of me entering the top five should be more than 90%."
"More than 90%?"
Lingxuan said in surprise, "The two seed players from Xingsha Sect and Diyang Sect are both at the peak level of Emperor Yuan. Among them, Diyang Sect is a figure at the level of Yuan Sheng."
"These four people can be said to be your real enemies."
"Besides these four people, these two major sects must have hidden tricks."
"As far as I know, there is definitely a hidden figure in the Yuan Sheng realm in the Xingsha Sect."
"This person may be one of the two seeded players, but it is more likely to be someone else besides the two."
"Not only that, I think the Diyang Sect should also have hidden characters."
"In this case, there are six people."
"You have to eliminate two of these six people to get into the top five."
"In other words, you have to eliminate two figures who are at the peak of the Yuan Emperor."
"Are you sure of that?"
Liu Hao shook his head with a slightly condensed expression.
He said, "Sect Master, to be honest, I definitely don't have absolute certainty."
"But I can definitely eliminate Wei Tianqi."
"As long as I touch him, he will be defeated."
"I know a little bit about this person's backstory, so I'm pretty sure about it."
"But, other people still have to deal with the situation."
"The most important thing is, as you said, we don't know whether the various forces have any hidden tricks."
"If there is, then I can only say that I will try my best!"
Hearing this, Lingxuan nodded helplessly.
Then, he patted Liu Hao on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. When the time comes, they will definitely show their strength. Let's just observe carefully."
Liu Hao nodded, "Yes!"
"You should have a good rest!" Lingxuan said no and said to Ling Wan'er, "Wan'er, let's go..."
