If he agrees to the challenge, no matter whether he wins or loses the battle, it will be equivalent to him acknowledging the title of "the number one genius of Qingyun Temple", then from now on he will become the target of public criticism, and troubles will come endlessly!
What's more, he is not in the mood to fight with anyone right now.
Chen Dong said seriously: "Senior brother, I just entered the inner sect not long ago. May I ask my senior brother's name and level?"
Senior Brother Liao smiled and said: "Junior Brother Chen is well-known in Qingyun Temple. The people who come and go are all elders and protector levels. It is normal for you not to know me. My name is Liao Hongwei. I am in the early stage of fifth-level channeling. I am only three levels higher than Junior Brother Chen.
It shouldn’t be a problem for Junior Brother Chen… I really want to learn from Junior Brother Chen’s clever tricks, and I hope Junior Brother Chen can do it.”
Level 5 psychic!
Chen Dong took a breath of cold air, and then cursed secretly in his heart. He is three levels higher than me, and he dared to challenge me. How shameless?
Chen Dong knew that it was common for the inner sect to master top-notch martial arts, and they had been practicing for decades or even hundreds of years. Even if he mastered god-level martial arts, he might not be able to gain an advantage.
If you agree to the challenge, you are out of your mind!
Chen Dong pretended to be surprised: "So you are Senior Brother Liao Hongwei and Liao!"
Of course Liao Hongwei was stunned: "Do you know me?"
"Of course I know you!" Chen Dong said: "As soon as I entered the inner sect, I heard someone say that Senior Brother Liao claims to be the number one genius in Qingyun Temple. Although he only has the strength of level five psychics, he can challenge anyone on the inner sect's combat power rankings.
Disciples are like chopping melons and vegetables.
It's only a matter of time before I dominate the entire Qingyun Temple... In front of Senior Brother Liao, how can I dare to call myself the number one genius in Qingyun Temple? Isn't this just showing off a big sword in front of Guan Gong and wielding a big ax in front of Lu Ban? Senior Brother Liao is the number one genius in Qingyun Temple.
No doubt about it!"
Tooth for tooth, blood for blood.
Everyone looked at Liao Hongwei again, with disdain and doubt in their eyes.
Of course, some people saw through Chen Dong's trick and laughed secretly.
Liao Hongwei's face turned red quickly, and he said anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense, when did I claim to be the number one genius of Qingyun Temple, and when did I say that I would dominate the entire Qingyun Temple..."
"No, I heard people say that there are noses and eyes. Why doesn't Senior Brother Liao dare to admit it?"
"I don't!"
Liao Hongwei was so anxious that he didn't know how to defend himself.
"Brother Liao, do you really dare not admit it?" Chen Dong said with a serious face: "If you dare not admit it, don't say such big words in the future. Doesn't this make everyone laugh?"
There was really a lot of laughter coming from all around.
Liao Hongwei stamped his foot and quickly turned around and left.
Chen Dong closed his eyes and continued to practice, and the surrounding area gradually became quiet.
"Dang Dang Dang——"
The bell rang for the end of class, and the disciples stood up one after another and walked towards the cafeteria in twos and threes.
Chen Dong also got a meal in the cafeteria and sat in the corner eating silently, still thinking about Xiao Xiao and the sloppy Taoist.
After a while, footsteps sounded and someone came around.
Chen Dong raised his head and saw that he recognized Luo Dacheng.
When Butler Huang died, Luo Dacheng and others came to take care of him. At that time, Luo Dacheng also wanted to recruit Chen Dong to join the group, saying that their eldest brother was Chang Kong, who ranked 30th in the inner sect's combat power rankings.
Chen Dong was not in the mood at that time, so he rejected Luo Dacheng's kindness.
But Luo Dacheng's character still left a deep impression on Chen Dong.
Chen Dong immediately stood up and called out: "Senior Brother Luo."
"It's okay, sit down." Luo Dacheng patted Chen Dong's shoulder, and they sat down together.
"You did a great job this morning." Luo Dacheng said: "At that time, I was going to help you rescue me, but I didn't expect you to solve the problem yourself and kill that guy."
Chen Dong smiled: "It's nothing. If he puts a high hat on me, I will also put a high hat on him."
Luo Dacheng laughed for a while, but then said seriously: "Junior Brother Chen, you are indeed very witty, but in this place in the inner sect, wit alone is definitely not enough. Trouble like this will definitely appear one after another in the future. Are you sure that every
Can it be solved like this every time?”
Chen Dong fell silent.
Of course he knows that in the Inner Sect, strength and fists are everything!
Luo Dacheng continued: "What, do you want to join us? Brother Changkong has been promoted one more place this month, ranking 29th in the inner sect's combat power rankings."
To be on the combat power ranking list in the inner sect where monsters are rampant, and to be ranked 29th, is indeed quite impressive.
By following such a person, at least safety can be guaranteed.
In fact, with Chen Dong's temper, he will not accept anyone as his eldest brother. Even if someone comes to trouble him, he will still think about how to fight back. If he is not strong enough, he will work hard to upgrade. Anyway, with Ruyi Pei, who is afraid of whom?
But now his mind was filled with things about Xiao Xiao and the sloppy Taoist, and he was not in the mood to fight with others, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll join you."
Luo Dacheng finally laughed, patted Chen Dong on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see Brother Chang Kong."
Luo Dacheng hooked Chen Dong's shoulder and came to another dining table.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties - of course, that was just his appearance, most people in the inner circle were over a hundred years old - was slowly eating a piece of fried noodles.
Behind the middle-aged man, there were at least a dozen people standing.
"Brother Changkong, I brought Chen Dong here!" Luo Dacheng said happily.
The middle-aged man raised his head, his eyes were so deep and so powerful that Chen Dong's heart couldn't help but beat loudly.
"Are you Chen Dong?" Chang Kong took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
"Yes." Chen Dong nodded.
"I've heard about you for a long time." Chang Kong said calmly: "The first genius of the outer sect, it only took more than half a year to enter the inner sect, and he defeated the old disciple Jiang Yifeng as soon as he entered..."
"It's all luck." Chen Dong said humbly.
"Good luck, but also good strength..." Chang Kong continued: "In the inner sect, you can't survive without power. Not long after I entered the inner sect's combat power rankings, it was the time to develop my own power.
Are you interested in following me?"
For a person like Chen Dong who was used to being the big brother, it was a bit uncomfortable for him to suddenly be with "someone else", but thinking about his current situation, he still nodded: "I'm interested."
"Very good." Chang Kong said: "If you want to follow me, according to the rules, you have to hand over one million spiritual stones..."
One million spirit stones?!
Not to mention that Chen Dong doesn't have any at all now, even if he does, he can't pay it. What's the difference between this and protection money?
Just when Chen Dong was about to refuse, he heard Chang Kong continue: "But you are different from others. Others take the initiative to seek refuge with me, but you are the one I want to win over... So you don't give me money, but I give you money.
"
Chang Kong waved his hand, and a mountain of spiritual stones appeared on the table.
"This is one million spirit stones." Chang Kong said: "I conclude that you have great potential, and your future achievements may not be as good as mine. Now that I have you under my command, it can be regarded as an investment for me. I hope you
Don’t live up to my expectations either.”
After following a big brother, not only did you not have to pay protection fees, but you also got one million spiritual stones?
It's a bit interesting.
Chen Dong was not polite, nodded and said: "Okay."
So he put away one million spiritual stones.
After a trip to Earth, his savings were all gone, and now he finally has some spiritual stones.
"Well, go back first and come to me if you need anything." Chang Kong's tone was still calm.
"Thank you, Brother Changkong." I got one million spiritual stones from him, and Changkong is already quite old, so it's not a big loss to call him Brother.
…
Afternoon, Neimen Square.
Chen Dong came to practice again.
He still couldn't let go of Xiao Xiao and the sloppy Taoist, but at this stage, he had no other choice but to wait.
More people surrounded him.
It’s still Liao Hongwei!
Liao Hongwei gritted his teeth and glared at Chen Dong fiercely: "You bastard, I fell into your trap this morning... Now let's not talk about being the first genius of Qingyun Temple. I just want to challenge you. Will you accept it?"
Luo Dacheng is indeed right. The so-called wit can protect you for a while, but it cannot protect you for a lifetime.
Chen Dong said calmly: "I am only a second-level psychic, and you are already a fifth-level psychic. How shameless are you challenging me? I refuse!"
Liao Hongwei grabbed Chen Dong's collar and said solemnly: "Boy, you made me make so many jokes this morning. I won't let you go! I won't beat you in public. I'll wait until you see it in private."
How can I deal with you!"
Private fights are also prohibited in the inner sect, but many times, the elders turn a blind eye.
Chen Dong was not only unafraid, but asked doubtfully: "Why don't you beat me in public?"
Liao Hongwei laughed evilly: "Hey, when I get on the inner sect's combat power rankings, I will definitely beat you ten times a day..."
In the inner sect, if you climb the combat power rankings, you will enjoy more privileges. For example... you can beat other disciples at will without being punished.
Chen Dong nodded and said, "I understand."
"Understand what?"
"I understand...you are going to be in trouble!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly hit Liao Hongwei on the head, knocking him at least dozens of meters away!
There were too many people in the square at the inner gate.
Everyone dodged, and Liao Hongwei rolled on the floor for more than ten times before he stopped.
"Who?!" Liao Hongwei stood up and roared.
"Me." Chang Kong was dressed in white, his hands were clasped behind his back, and he stared at Liao Hongwei with cold eyes.
Behind Chang Kong, Luo Dacheng and others stood.
Chen Dong slowly stood up and walked to Chang Kong.
Several elders originally stood up, but then sat down again when they saw this scene.
"Chang...Senior Brother Chang..." Looking at the figure on the inner sect's combat power rankings, Liao Hongwei was obviously a little flustered and didn't know what was going on.
"From today on, Chen Dong is mine." Chang Kong's voice was not loud, but he spoke clearly every word, and it easily spread throughout the inner sect, "If you offend him, you offend me."
