"Lin Hsing!"
On and below the arena, the two people's gazes met. One was filled with killing intent, while the other was filled with fighting spirit, showing no fear.
"I will cripple you!"
"If I had the chance, I would have done the same."
When the other disciples below the arena realized that something was wrong with the two, they all turned their heads and pointed at them, discussing something in hushed voices.
One of the old disciples pointed at Lin Hsing and stated his identity, causing the new disciples to reveal expressions of respect and worry.
"Don't worry, Senior Apprentice Brother Lin and I are more or less right. We even drank wine in private a few days ago. As long as you pass through the first stage and mention my name to him, he probably won't make things difficult for you."
"Really!?"
The new disciples immediately revealed joyous expressions, feeling that their confidence had greatly increased. At the same time, they also began to feel the strength of their families.
For a family with a strong background, no matter what the occasion was, there would always be someone willing to give you face, allowing you to go with the flow and enjoy the limelight.
In this world, people were not independent after all. Everyone had their own needs, and they all felt attached to power. The glory of a family was reflected in the situation that their clansmen could influence outside.
It was obvious that most of the families below the stage had some respect for each other. As long as their new disciples entered into the second round, generally speaking, they would depend on the strength of their families to influence them.
But disciples from small clans like Liu Meng, Wang An and Xiao Yu were much more likely to be relegated.
Lin Yue had once again offended the old disciple, and the probability of such a person being mercilessly suppressed was already above ninety percent. Furthermore, he had even managed to offend the old disciple himself, this was practically impossible.
Seeing Lin Hsing's attitude towards Lin Yue, the other disciples below the stage all revealed pleased smiles. They knew in their hearts that this brat had already been sentenced to death.
A group of old disciples led a new disciple and walked towards Lin Yue. When they were near, one of the old disciples took a step forward and glanced at Lin Yue, then hurriedly cupped his hands together in greeting.
Lin Yue saw the arrogance on the faces of this group of people, and an unfathomable condescending look. It was as if in their eyes, his status was lower than theirs.
Lin Yue said with an expressionless face: "That's right, I'm Lin Yue, what's the matter?"
He took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and handed it over, saying indifferently: "That's good, I am a disciple of the Fang family from Yuncheng, and my younger brother Fang Xing is your opponent this time, so I hope that you can withdraw and give up this competition. This five hundred silver notes is your compensation, and you can accept it."
"Five hundred silver!" "Big brother, why are you giving him so much? One hundred silver would be enough for him." Fang Xing said with a pained expression.
The Faang Xia waved his hand and said magnanimously: "Our Fang family has never been stingy when doing things, five hundred taels would be equal to five hundred taels."
As he said that, he slightly puffed out his chest and looked at Lin Yue with confidence.
Lin Yue was almost amused by him. Was this group of people a joke? Five hundred silver taels? He even said how magnanimous he was, as if he was giving out alms.
He shook his head, not even bothering to speak to them.
"What is it? Faang Xia frowned, he thought for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Alright, then I'll give you another five hundred silver, for a total of a thousand gold, is that enough?"
"Brother!"
"Don't say anything!" Faang Xia waved his hand and stopped Fang Xing.
Lin Yue still shook his head.
"Brat, don't be too greedy. A thousand gold is not a small sum. At least, it will be enough for you to eat and play for two to three years!"
Hearing him say that, Lin Yue finally turned his head to look at him. With a trace of ridicule in his eyes, he lightly said: "Is it more than a thousand liang? Didn't two hundred thousand only last two months? "Don't you know how to count?"
"You!?" Faang Xia was instantly angered to the point that his face turned green. Indeed, as long as one lost the test, it would be a loss of two hundred thousand gold.
"Fine!" The Faang Xia clenched his teeth so hard that he almost shattered them into pieces, and said fiercely: "I'll take it that you're vicious, a single bid, five thousand gold. Kid, you have offended Lin Hsing, so you definitely won't be able to stay this time, give your placing to my brother, and you can still get five thousand gold, this is too easy!"
The other old disciples of the Fang family also spoke out at the same time, feeling that their old Fang family had suffered a huge loss and that Lin Yue had taken advantage of them.
"Truly stupid." Lin Yue's expression finally became gloomy, narrowed his eyes, and coldly swept his gaze across the Fang family members, and said indifferently: "Can't you all tell that I'm not even willing to bother with you? So what if I have offended Lin Hsing, why should I be defeated, and take this' huge sum of money 'from you, and quickly disappear from my sight! "
"Bastard, what did you say!?"
"How dare you call us idiots!?"
The other disciples of the Fang family were enraged, all of them had fiendish expressions, and were about to gang up on Lin Yue.
"All of you, stop!" Suddenly, Faang Xia's loud shout stunned everyone else. He stared deeply at Lin Yue and said, "Alright, if you have the guts, then I, Faang Xia, will remember this! "Let's go!"
"Heroic brother!? "Spare him just like that?"
"The sect rules forbid ganging up. Let's talk about this grudge in the future, let's go first!"
Everyone was startled, they thought that their Clan Elder had read this rule before, and had no choice but to threaten Lin Yue, before angrily following behind Faang Xia.
Lin Yue said coldly, not caring in the slightest.
Fang family? Is this clan that awesome?
In any case, he had already offended Lin Hsing, Chen Jian, as well as a second stage Pill Master Tuoba Kang. Even if he had offended a few sect elders, with so many powerful people being offended, adding another Fang Family should not be a big deal.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
After a while, from the depths of the Netherworld Sect, the sound of an enormous bell ringing came from the top of a tall and towering pavilion.
The sound of the bell pierced through the dense forest, passed through the well-arranged buildings, and spread far under the sky.
"The ninth chime, it's time for the examination to begin!"
Amidst the solemn ringing of the bell, the three elders also walked out of the hall. The donkey faced elder's voice followed the Genuine Essence from far away, and the entire plaza in front of the hall heard his order very clearly.
"Boom!"
The moment the Elder announced the start of the assessment, the originally quiet public square was suddenly filled with clamorous noise.
The cheers of the old disciple towards the new disciple and the cheers of the new disciple had turned into a tide of momentum in this short moment.
After that, according to the order of registration by the side of each arena, each new disciple would go on stage and report their names before starting the battle.
Wind Leg Shadow Fist!
Saber Qi and sword radiance!
There were those who were agile like monkeys, those who were powerful like oxen, and those who were domineering and domineering. They would advance forward and fight with their lives on the line.
On the arena, the intensity of the battle instantly caused the temperature in the plaza to rise rapidly!
Very quickly, a disciple sent his opponent's spear flying with a single slash. The opponent admitted defeat helplessly, and in the next round, it was Lin Yue's turn.
