Alchemist Sword Sect

"Master, I have two methods. I don't know which one is better?" The middle-aged man who spoke before said again. This man is smart and capable, with little cultivation, but he is highly valued by the family head. He is able to participate in such an important meeting and discussion of the Sun family. Naturally, it is because he is full of evil ideas.

The head of the Sun family said: "If you have any ideas, just say it directly."

"The first way is to send someone to assassinate Lu Chen tonight and formally break with the City Lord's Mansion. This is the worst option. The second way is to send someone to ask Young Master Nangong Ping for help. This is the best way."

"It's ridiculous. It's absolutely impossible to assassinate Lu Chen. We can't break with the City Lord's Mansion now. With the current strength of our Sun family, there is no chance of winning at all. As for inviting Young Master Nangong Ping, you put it simply, you think that with Sun Xue's relationship, Can you easily invite the seventh young master of the Nangong family?" Another person in charge of the Sun family reprimanded loudly.

Although Sun Xue is nominally a concubine promised to Nangong Ping, but with the relationship of a concubine, he may not be able to invite Nangong Ping. After all, tomorrow is a special day. The Nebula Sect not only recruits disciples in Shifeng City, but also recruits disciples in Nangong Ping. The aristocratic family's Xianyi City is recruiting disciples at the same time. It is impossible for Nangong Ping to delay such an important competition because of a trivial matter in the Sun family.

The servant surnamed Zhang did not show any flinch. He continued: "The second master didn't know something, so he directly invited Master Nangong Ping to come over. Of course it is impossible, but what if he uses the name of our Sun family to represent our Sun family?" If our family is participating in tomorrow’s martial arts competition, then Young Master Nangong Ping will definitely be happy to come. I heard that Young Master Nangong Ping already has the innate realm of cultivation. With the martial arts origins of the Nangong family and their transcendent status in the Nebula Sect, not only can he easily To deal with Lu Chen, even if Lu Chen is killed in public in a martial arts competition, the Nebula Sect will not blame him too much?"

"What a good idea." The head of the Sun family slapped the table and immediately approved the suggestion. "In this way, we can not only gain the favor of the Nangong family, but also eliminate the evil thief Lu Chen."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they immediately understood that this proposal was feasible.

You must know that Sun Xue is about to become Nangong Ping's concubine, so the two families are somewhat related by marriage. It makes sense in name for Nangong Ping to represent the Sun family in the war. Secondly, the competition in Xianyi City where Nangong Ping is located is very fierce. Although Nangong Ping has the strength of the Xiantian realm, it is still difficult to win the first place. But it is different in Shifeng City. Under normal circumstances, even if Nangong Ping is a ninth-level cultivator, Because, it has been able to secure the first place. What's more, if you can represent the Sun family in the war, you can give up a competition spot to the Nangong family. You must know that with such fierce competition, a spot is very precious. This method will undoubtedly add chips to the relationship between the two families.

Originally, the Sun family would never give up such an important quota, but since Sun Pengcheng was dead and no one could stop Lu Chen, the Sun family came up with such a way.

"Send someone to ask Master Nangong Ping to come over immediately." The head of the Sun family gave the order.

……………

Early the next morning, the square in Shi Feng City became very lively. This was a special day. Even if it was a holiday, Shi Feng City was not so lively.

For many people, this is the only chance to enter the Nebula Sect.

Of course, the goal of most young warriors is to become the outer disciples of the Nebula Sect. After all, it is too difficult to win the first place. It is a great joy to be able to enter the top ten and add glory to one's family.

On the referee's stand in the square, stood an old man in green. This man was the outer elder of the Nebula Sect, serving as the referee for this selection competition.

Next to the referee's seat, there were several important figures in Shi Feng City, including the city lord, the head of the Sun family, and others.

The city lord looked calm. He felt that there was no suspense for Lu Chen to win the first place. As for the head of the Sun family, apart from his gloomy face and glaring at Lu Chen from time to time, he did not appear nervous or anxious.

There are huge crowds of people around the square. This grand competition has touched the hearts of many people. All the people in Shi Feng City are paying close attention to this competition, and many good people have already started placing bets.

"Predict the results of this competition in advance. Those who bet on Lu Chen's first place will pay 1 out of 10, and those who bet on Sun Wei's first place will pay 10 out of 10. Hurry up and place your bets."

"Wang Mazi, you are really not good at this handicap. Lu Chen is much better than Sun Wei. Last time I heard that at the entrance of the Heifengling mine, Sun Pengcheng was kicked over by Lu Chen. Sun Pengcheng is not Lu. Chen’s opponent, Sun Wei, is nothing. If you open this handicap, everyone will rush to bet on Lu Chen to be first.”

"Stop talking nonsense, you think Lu Chen is the best, so you can bet on Lu Chen, are you afraid that I can't afford to pay?"

Although Wang Mazi looks rough, he is one of the few Xiantian realm masters in Shi Feng City. However, he is neutral in Shi Feng City, neither leaning towards the city lord nor the Sun family, and has a good reputation among everyone.

"Okay, I'll give Lu Chen a hundred crystal stones."

"I'm betting on Lu Chen to be first."

"I will also escort Lu Chen."

.....

Immediately, more than a dozen people placed bets, and without exception, they all bet on Lu Chen to come first. Although the odds were very low, even if they bet a hundred crystals, they would only earn ten crystals if they won, but Lu Chen’s His strength has long been proven, and most people believe that Lu Chen is certain to win the first place.

However, there were also a small number of people who bet on Sun Wei. These people were speculating, and the amounts they bet were very small.

"Although Lu Chen is strong, things like martial arts competitions are hard to predict. What if something unexpected happens? If Sun Wei can't take first place, it may not be the same for others. I bet Lu Chen can't take first place. Wang Mazi, with this odds How to calculate it?"

Wang Mazi sneered and said, "I'll still pay ten for one."

"Okay, I'll bet Lu Chen can't get the first place, three crystal stones."

"I'll go. You have the nerve to say three crystal stones. If you have the guts, you'll bet thirty yuan."

"Three crystal stones are not money? Why don't you, Wang Mazi, who owns a bank and have so much money, give me some as a gift?" the man immediately retorted.

Before the competition even started, the square was in a commotion, especially the opening bet, which was caused by many busybodies.

Lu Chen looked indifferent and ignored everything around him, but Sun Wei was so angry that his face was red. Although he thought he was indeed no match for Lu Chen, it was undoubtedly a shame to be talked about by so many people and used for fun to be belittled and scorned at will. Very annoying thing.

He said angrily: "I'm here to bet too. I'll bet Lu Chen can't get the first place. I'll give you a thousand spar."

"Hey, Master Sun will bet personally. You are very welcome. We know that Master Sun is very wealthy, but you should also understand the rules of betting. You must bring out enough crystal stones on the spot, otherwise, the bet will not count. "Wang Mazi said.

Sun Wei sneered and said, "Are you still afraid that I'll default on your debt?" As he said this, he angrily took out a pile of crystal stones from his storage bag.

After counting, Wang Mazi nodded and said: "Master Sun is really refreshing. Okay, let's wait for the competition to begin."

One thousand crystals was already a large amount for Sun Wei, but now that the Sun family had Nangong Ping's trump card, he dared to make such a big bet.

He had already begun to imagine in his mind what kind of sensation it would cause when Nangong Ping came on the stage. Not only would Lu Chen not be able to win first place, but even survival would be a problem.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at, Master Sun?" Wang Mazi asked.

Sun Wei laughed and said, "I'm laughing. I'm going to make a lot of money today, but some people may lose everything."

"Hmph, who can't brag and fart? Just wait and see the results." Wang Mazi was unceremonious. He was one of the few people in Shi Feng City who dared not give Sun Wei face.

After three drums sounded, the long-awaited martial arts tournament finally began.

The old man in green on the referee's bench said loudly: "I once again announce the method of competition and selection. Nebula Sect recruits disciples in Shifeng City. Anyone who can enter the top ten can become an outer disciple, and the first place will directly become an inner disciple of this sect. Disciples, if they have outstanding qualifications, may be favored by the elders of the sect and be accepted as their closed disciples. This is a great opportunity for everyone, and I hope you can work harder."

"The rules of the competition are that until the point is reached, anyone who is kicked out of the ring or voluntarily admits defeat cannot continue to attack. Killing is prohibited. Violators will be disqualified from the competition."

"The first match is between No. 15 Su Xuan and No. 7 Wang Feng."

Coincidentally, the first match was Su Xuan's competition.

Su Xuan looked around nervously. He had never participated in such a grand competition before, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

Lu Chen smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, the other party has not gone through this kind of battle. You are much stronger than him and you won't lose."

This is not just comfort. Su Xuan is now a warrior at the sixth level of acquired martial arts. In addition, with the possession of high-grade spiritual weapons, even seventh-level warriors can fight. In Shi Feng City, his strength will definitely be among the top ten.

Sure enough, in the first confrontation, Su Xuan easily defeated his opponent using a set of simple sword techniques taught by Lu Chen, which aroused everyone's surprise.

"Haha, Su Xuan is Lu Chen's younger brother. That kid is so strong. Do you still have to doubt Lu Chen's own strength? I will definitely win this bet?" someone said with a laugh.

"That's not necessarily the case. There is no capital to be proud of until the last minute."

Several matches passed quickly, and each match was very fierce. Everyone cheered loudly, but the old man in green on the referee's bench shook his head repeatedly.

The city lord asked in a low voice from the side: "Sir Elder, is there no talent you like in this competition?"

In front of the old man in green, his status as city lord was not enough.

The old man in green sighed and said: "There really aren't many talents in Shi Feng City. Only the one named Su Xuan seems to be pretty good. The martial arts he uses look simple, but they have the flavor of returning to nature. However, I think his martial arts are of high quality." People have pointed out that his own talent can only be considered above average, not a genius."

"Elder, don't worry, there are still many people who have not played. Shi Feng City still has talents." The city lord said.

The old man in green shook his head disapprovingly.

"The next match will be between Lu Chen and Sun Yuan."

Following the announcement from the old man in green, someone immediately welcomed him: "Lu Chen is on the stage, facing off against Sun Yuan from the Sun family."

"That kid Sun Yuan is worse than Sun Wei. He will definitely lose to Lu Chen. It just depends on how many tricks Lu Chen needs to defeat him."

Many good people are excitedly following the battle situation.

Lu Chen calmly walked onto the ring. Of course, he couldn't be nervous. In his previous life, he was a grandmaster and had never seen any big scenes. Now, in such a small fight, he couldn't even pretend to be nervous. .
