When Xu Ming arrived, hundreds of people had gathered in Wufu Square. There were Wufu elders, masters, and disciples.
"Xu Ming."
"Brother Xu!"
"Brother Sun Ji."
…
Although Xu Ming and Sun Ji are newcomers to the Wu Mansion this year, their reputations within the Wu Mansion are already strong.
Sun Ji was born with supernatural power, and his strength had made breakthroughs after entering the Wu Mansion. Even those old disciples who were practicing internally did not dare to underestimate him.
Needless to say, Xu Ming, even though he rarely showed up in the Wu Mansion and didn't even attend classes, among the new disciples this year, Xu Ming is undoubtedly the undisputed number one.
No, even Sun Ji, who beat all the new disciples into obedience, behaved like a cat in front of Xu Ming.
Therefore, even if Xu Ming does not show his face many times, there is no doubt about Xu Ming's status in the Wu Mansion.
Especially Xu Ming defeated Sikong Liangjun in the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce gambling battle, which made Xu Ming even more popular in Yunqi City. Some people in the Wild Martial Mansion were even saying that Xu Ming's strength might already be
He is the number one among all the disciples of Wild Martial Palace.
"Is he Xu Ming?"
Among the disciples, there were two people who were obviously independent from others. Both of them had a kind of arrogance with their nostrils turned upward, and they exuded an inexplicable self-confidence that stood out from the crowd.
One of the young men with a sword and a mole on the corner of his mouth asked the people around him disdainfully: "I don't see anything special about it!"
"I really didn't find anything special about him." The charming male disciple next to him also said, "But many people in the Wu Mansion actually think that his strength is no weaker than ours."
"Haha, the only record he has is that he defeated Sikong Liangjun in seconds!"
"Sikong Liangjun? It's just a child!" the charming male disciple said scornfully.
When these two disciples first entered the Wilderness Martial Mansion, they were among the top geniuses among the new disciples. The two of them fought fiercely, and five or six years passed in the blink of an eye, but there was still no winner. However, before Xu Ming arrived,
, the two of them are recognized as the top two among the hundreds of disciples in the Wilderness Martial Palace.
However, after Xu Ming arrived, there were different opinions about Xu Ming's strength. Some people said that Xu Ming had the strength to challenge the number one person in the Wild Martial Palace. Others said that Xu Ming's strength was actually compared to those who were four or five years old disciples.
It's just unremarkable.
"Sikong Liangjun is indeed just a child!" The young man holding the sword also said, "This Xu Ming is just a child too!"
"I didn't expect that we would be compared with a child. It's been so long since we've taken action. Everyone is beginning to doubt our strength!"
"Don't worry, if you want to show your strength, you will have a good opportunity soon! By then we will be a blockbuster and famous in Feiyun Kingdom. It won't be a problem!"
"I know!" The charming young man glanced at Xu Ming, "I'm too lazy to argue with a child. My goal is to be included in the Barbarian Sect!"
The Wilderness Sect, the overlord who controls hundreds of thousands of miles in radius, is also the holy land of martial arts that countless talented warriors yearn for.
"Barbarian Sect..." The young man holding the sword also had a look of longing on his face, "Every year, there is only one quota for those who can be admitted to the Barbarian Sect. Last year, we both lost to an old disciple who was one year older than us. This year, too,
It’s time for one of us to go to the Savage Sect!”
"It's our turn! But I won't let you!" said the charming male disciple.
"Just let your horse come over!" The young man holding the sword was also full of fighting spirit.
However, neither of them knew that Gu Hanmo had long been determined to be Xu Ming for the spot to go to the Wilderness Sect this year; no matter how much they fought, they would never get a share.
At this time, Xu Ming had also mixed in with the crowd and roughly understood the rules for resource distribution.
The Wild Martial Palace distributes training resources to its disciples every six months; however, the amount of resources each disciple can get is not the same - the stronger the disciple, the more training resources he gets; the weaker the disciple, the more training resources he gets.
The fewer resources there are.
As for how to judge who is strong and who is weak, it will be determined by the martial arts based on the performance of the disciples in the past six months.
Because it was the day to distribute resources, the disciples came very enthusiastically; soon, all the disciples were called.
"Everyone is here, let's start distributing cultivation resources!" The speaker was a bald elder in the Wu Mansion who was in charge of the Wu Mansion's supplies.
The disciples below held their breath and prayed silently in their hearts - call me later! Call me later!
Because the sooner someone's name is called, the less training resources they can obtain.
"The first one..." The bald elder looked at the list, then raised his head, "Wang Xiao."
Among the disciples, a short, fat disciple who was new this year suddenly became pale: "It's really me!"
The weakest disciples are undoubtedly the new disciples this year. However, the strength gap between the weakest disciples is not big. The Wu Mansion also considered many factors before finally deciding who is the weakest.
"Haha, Wang Xiao, let me just say that I am a little better than you, and you still don't admit it? You should finally give in now!"
The person who spoke was also one of the weakest new disciples. He had a good relationship with Wang Xiao. When he saw that Wang Xiao was the last one, he immediately became happy.
"Just wait! I will challenge you openly later. As long as I beat you, you will be the last one next time!" Wang Xiao said unmotivated, then with a sad face, he went up to receive a thousand taels of gold.
"Next, Chen Huan!"
…
It was about the 300th call that Sun Ji's name was finally called; obviously, the Wu Mansion had a high opinion of Sun Ji, even more than many old disciples.
"Seven hundred and seventy-fourth, Zhao Yicheng! Allocate cultivation resources, 78,300 taels of gold!"
There are a total of 777 disciples in the Wild Martial Palace, and Zhao Yicheng is the 774th one, which shows that the Martial Palace's evaluation of his strength is - fourth!
At this time, Xu Ming had not yet been called.
"I'll go!" The young man came to Zhao Yicheng and got the fourth place, but he was not happy at all; because usually, he always got the third place very steadily.
Zhao Yicheng glanced at Xu Ming and felt angry: "Wufu actually thinks that I am inferior to him?"
But Zhao Yicheng didn't dare to say anything, so he had to go up and collect the resources obediently. But in his heart, he was very dissatisfied: "Humph! I will definitely challenge this Xu Ming later!"
He is not convinced!
Zhao Yicheng was not the only one who was dissatisfied.
When the top twenty names were called, but Xu Ming's name was still not called, many old disciples were already dissatisfied.
Which of the top fifty old disciples in the Savage Martial Palace does not have a cultivation level above the late stage of internal training? If they were to face their superior Kong Liangjun, they would all be defeated in seconds.
"This kid..." The charming male disciple had already glanced at Xu Ming many times, "The martial government actually ranked him third?"
Immediately, the bald elder named him again: "Seven hundred and seventy-five, Tian Dali! Allocate resources, 80,000 taels of gold!"
The charming male disciple was immediately confused; "Tian Dali? Me?"
That's right, the charming male disciple is named Tian Dali - a name that is in extreme contrast with his appearance.
"How is that possible?" The young man holding the sword on the side was also confused.
The strength of the charming young man Tian Dali and the sword-wielding young man have always been very close. Since the older disciples in the Wu Mansion have all left the martial arts, the Wu Mansion's evaluation of the two of them is that one is the first, and the other is the first. Anyway, no matter what
In this way, the top two will always be these two people.
But now, the charming young man Tian Dali has been reduced to the third place. Doesn't that mean that Xu Ming is at least the second, and may even be the first?
"I'm not convinced!" Tian Dali shouted.
There was no emotion on the bald elder's face: "If you don't accept it, you can give up this training resource!"
As an elder in charge of supplies, the bald elder naturally looks like he should stay away from strangers most of the time - his position does not allow him to be a talkative person.
"I..." Tian Dali didn't dare to talk too much after all. He knew that the bald elder had a bad temper; if he talked too much, he might not give him any training resources.
"Eighty thousand taels, just eighty thousand taels!"
The cultivation resources for the second place are 90,000 taels of gold, and the cultivation resources for the first place are 100,000 taels of gold. In fact, Tian Dali is not inferior by 12,000 taels of gold, but the military government has judged that he is weaker than Xu Ming, so he
He felt deeply humiliated.
"Seven hundred and seventy-sixth..."
The young man holding the sword suddenly became nervous.
"Yue Jian!"
The Wild Martial Arts Bureau still cruelly judged him as the second best.
The sword-wielding young man Yue Jian also did not dare to talk nonsense. He just glanced at Xu Ming with fighting intent, and then went up to collect the resources.
"Seven hundred and seventy-seven..."
In fact, this last person is known without naming him.
"Xu Ming!"
"I didn't expect that the Wu Mansion would rate me so highly." Xu Ming received the resources with a smile, "One hundred thousand taels of gold, although it's not much, it's not bad!"
Just then——
"Xu Ming!" Two voices sounded almost at the same time.
Xu Ming turned around and saw that it was the sword-wielding young man Yue Jian and the charming young man Tian Dali.
"I'm not convinced by Wufu's ranking decision!" Yue Jian said coldly, "Do you dare to pick one of us to compete with each other? As long as you can win, we will be convinced!"
Suddenly, everyone present glanced at Xu Ming. They wanted to see how Xu Ming would react.
Those senior disciples who ranked higher were especially excited.
"That's right! I don't accept Wufu's ranking decision either!"
"Xu Ming, if you really have the strength, show it to us! If you don't have the strength, please don't hold the number one cultivation resource so calmly!"
"That's right!"
"Xu Ming, do you dare to fight?"
All of a sudden, the whole place was in a roar, and the senior disciples at the top seemed to want to vent their dissatisfaction.
"You are not convinced? Do you want to compete with me?" Being the target of public criticism, Xu Ming just smiled disdainfully.
