After hearing Wen Kuo's words, Tu Ran's tone in Shimen was obviously less unhappy, and he seemed a little surprised by Wen Kuo's words.
Boom.
The stone door opened, and a tall and muscular man walked out.
Wearing such a black outfit, with his muscles bulging high, he stood there like an iron tower, making people fearful.
However, his face looked a little thin, with heavy eye bags and dark circles, and he seemed to have not rested well.
Logically speaking, practitioners don't need to sleep, but Tu Ran's state is very strange.
"Senior Brother Tu."
Facing Tu Ran, Wen Kuo did not dare to neglect and immediately bowed, then took out the spiritual ultimatum carved by Yang Dinghan and handed it over.
Tu Ran took the spiritual ultimatum and did not look at it in front of Wen Kuo. He turned around and returned to the stone gate: "Junior brother Wen, you can go back and recover. Just say that I have received the spiritual ultimatum."
"..." Wen Kuo hesitated for a moment, then bowed and saluted: "In that case, I'm resigning."
Wen Kuo was very careful with Tu Ran. The status of the Huohu disciple was obviously very high in the hearts of the Huomen disciples and was awe-inspiring.
After Wen Kuo left, Tu Ran activated the spiritual ultimatum and read the contents inside.
After reading it, he crushed the spirit tablet with one palm and fell into a brief silence.
After a while, he got up and walked out of the stone gate, muttering to himself: "Yang Dinghan, today I killed this disciple named Chen Yang, and I will repay your kindness to me. If you repay it in the future,
If you ask me to do such a thing, I will never agree to it."
Walking out of the stone gate, there was a hint of hesitation and entanglement in Tu Ran's eyes. Finally, he became determined and said in a deep voice: "Junior brother Chen, I have no choice but to do it, don't blame me."
…
"As expected, he didn't leave."
When Lu Xian came back and saw that Chen Yang was still there, his heart skipped a beat and he felt that his guess was most likely correct.
All of this is planned by Yang Dinghan. Tu Ran will cooperate with Chen Yang in acting and engage in a battle. In the end, he will lose to Chen Yang and give up his seat as a fire guardian disciple to Chen Yang.
"Although Tu Ran is the weakest among the ten fire-protecting disciples, Chen Yang can never be his opponent.
If Yang Dinghan hadn't been behind the scenes, how would Chen Yang have dared to challenge."
Lu Xian despised Chen Yang for being a backdoor person, but what he still couldn't figure out was what would happen if Chen Yang became a Fire Protector disciple?
When the time comes, I'm afraid many people will target him and come to challenge him.
After all, I still have confidence in dealing with a two-star eighth-level cultivator and a two-star ninth-level disciple in the Fire Sect.
"Deacon Lu, you are back."
Just when Lu Xian was thinking secretly, Chen Yang said hello.
Lu Xian lost his previous indifference, but still pretended not to know anything and said, "How about it, have you thought it through?"
Chen Yang thought that Lu Xian would tell him that he was there, but he didn't expect that he would become a lot more polite after not seeing him for a while.
He cupped his hands and said, "I have thought about it carefully and asked Deacon Lu to give me some advice on what I should do next."
"Okay, then you can register with me first, and then decide who to challenge."
In Lu Xian's view, Chen Yang will definitely challenge Tu Ran, but he still has to go through the process.
The two of them registered immediately, and Lu Xian took out the list of ten fire-protecting disciples and handed it to Chen Yang: "This is the list of fire-protecting disciples, as well as simple information. After you read it, you can decide who to challenge."
"Is there a strength ranking?" Chen Yang asked.
Lu Xian raised his eyebrows, with an expression that said: "Fire Protector disciples do not fight among themselves, so there is no strength ranking. However, the approximate strength gap can still be seen. At present, the last one
Tu Ran, who became the Fire Protector disciple, is slightly weaker than the others."
"Turan."
Chen Yang looked at the names on the list and thought about whether to challenge the weakest one, the strongest one, or the middle one.
If you challenge the weakest, you can keep a low profile. In this way, you can be surprised at the Five Elements Ceremony.
However, there are also troubles in doing this.
He already knows that the Fire Sect openly selects fire-protecting disciples, and when outside cultivators challenge the fire-protecting disciples, they will inevitably pick weaklings.
If others knew that he could only defeat Tu Ran, they would treat him as a weakling, and they would waste their energy fighting and waste time.
As for challenging the strongest fire-protecting disciple, the advantage is that Chen Yang can test his own strength.
Although the Fire Sect is at the bottom of the five sects in terms of strength, the strongest fire-protecting disciples are at least at the top of the Five Elements Ceremony.
Chen Yang can have a rough understanding of the strength of the Five Elements Ceremony by fighting against it.
But if you do this and stand out in the limelight, you will be targeted during the Five Elements Ceremony.
Choosing medium-strength fire-protecting disciples can avoid the disadvantages of the previous two options, but there are no big benefits.
After much deliberation, Chen Yang chose a conservative plan, choosing one of the medium-strength fire guardian disciples to challenge.
He asked Lu Xian: "Deacon Lu, who are the moderately powerful fire-protecting disciples?"
Lu Xian was stunned when he heard this question.
Isn't it Tu Ran?
He didn't understand whether Chen Yang was acting or if he really wanted to make things more difficult for himself.
Of course, this is none of his business.
But just when he was about to answer Chen Yang's question, a voice came from behind: "Chen Yang, there is no need to choose. Among the ten fire protection disciples, I am the weakest. No one will let go of the weakest, and challenge
Stronger."
Hearing this, Chen Yang looked back and saw a strong man he didn't recognize.
But this strong man had a thin face and dark circles under his eyes, as if he was malnourished.
"Turan."
When Butler Lu saw the person coming, his eyes lit up. He glanced at Chen Yang and said secretly: "As expected, Tu Ran came to the door without him having to ask. The scene they played was really similar."
Chen Yang didn't expect that someone would actually come to his door. He said to Tu Ran: "This senior brother, I don't..."
"If you don't challenge me, then I'll challenge you, okay?"
Tu Ran seemed to be impatient. He snorted coldly and walked outside, saying: "Deacon Lu, arrange this battle immediately. After the fight, I have to continue practicing in seclusion."
"yes."
Lu Xian responded politely and started to follow Tu Ran.
Seeing this, Chen Yang changed his mind and said, "Deacon Lu, it's up to me to decide who to challenge. I didn't say I wanted to challenge this senior brother Tu Ran."
Lu Xian retracted his step and looked at Chen Yang and Tu Ran in embarrassment. He thought to himself why the two of them had to make the trick so real. He had already seen through it.
"Junior Brother Chen, do you look down on me?"
Tu Ran stared at Chen Yang coldly, his thin face lifeless, giving the impression that he was a dead person.
"No, I'm not looking down on you."
Chen Yang shook his head, walked up to Tu Ran, looked at Tu Ran, frowned and said, "I'm just curious, how did you persevere after suffering so much torture?"
There was doubt in Tu Ran's eyes, and he said coldly: "It's so mysterious that I don't even know what you are talking about."
