As the saying goes, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow.
The moment Ye Suifeng chose Haotian Sect as his opponent, he was filled with despair.
Ye Suifeng never thought he was not good enough.
Ye Suifeng even felt that he would be among the top young people in the world today.
Ye Suifeng even swore to the heavens that one day he would lead the Liuyun Sect into the ranks of the top ten sects.
Ye Suifeng can be described as a proud and arrogant person.
No matter how high your ambition or how arrogant you are, you still have to face reality.
That's Chu Xinghe!
If you mention my name Ye Suifeng outside, not many people will know me, but if you mention Chu Xinghe... then everyone will know him.
When Ye Suifeng said that Chu Xinghe shouldn't even be considered part of the younger generation, he thought it made perfect sense.
Yeah... why... why is Chu Xinghe considered part of the younger generation?
Are the things Chu Xinghe did something that the younger generation should be able to do?
Our younger generation is constantly fighting tooth and nail.
But look at Chu Xinghe... he really does play chess with big shots from all sides at the drop of a hat.
Moreover, even powerful figures from all sides might not be able to gain an advantage in front of Chu Xinghe. There are even rumors that although Chu Xinghe is still at the seventh rank, he actually has the strength to fight against a Martial Emperor.
The main reason this claim has not been verified is not because Chu Xinghe is incompetent, but because Chu Xinghe has now reached a point where he no longer needs to take action personally.
Look at the kind of people surrounding Chu Xinghe...
Putting aside other things, there are rumors that Chu Xinghe is always surrounded by no fewer than five Dark Moon Clan members, and the Dark Moon Clan's ability to hide is such that even a Martial God cannot detect their presence unless they launch an attack.
Even if they made a move, those below the half-step Martial God level could not sense their killing intent.
If you send two Martial Emperors to attack Chu Xinghe, you won't even know how you died!
Otherwise, Chu Xinghe would remain on the Demonic Sect's kill list for years. If you could kill Chu Xinghe, no matter what level Wu Xingyun's cultivation was, the Demonic Sect would have to elevate you to the position of the new Demon Emperor.
But why doesn't any of the demonic sects dare to make a move against Chu Xinghe?
Because you've died countless times before you even had a chance to get close to Chu Xinghe!
Even if those lunatics from the Darkmoon Clan don't get ruthless, they don't even value their own lives. Do you think they'd care about yours?
Therefore, it's difficult to judge Chu Xinghe's true strength at this point.
Ye Suifeng burst into tears the moment he drew Chu Xinghe's name.
Heaven has forsaken my Flowing Cloud Sect... Our path to advancement ends here...
Ye Suifeng felt like dying... When he was first assigned to the Haotian Sect group, Ye Suifeng didn't really care.
After all, even if we reach the qualifying stage, we might not be able to draw the Haotian Sect...
But what a coincidence that I drew the Haotian Sect?
Ye Suifeng was at a loss for what to do. If this were in the Yunxiao Sect group, even if he had been drawn against the Yunxiao Sect, he, Ye Suifeng, would have stood up and declared that he would fight with all his might to defeat the Yunxiao Sect.
But I drew Chu Xinghe... How the hell am I supposed to defeat Chu Xinghe?
Just as Ye Suifeng was crying his eyes out, Ye Qingcheng, the sect leader of Liuyun Sect and Ye Suifeng's father, arrived.
"Wind...good news!"
Hearing his father shouting good news, Ye Suifeng remained completely unmoved. Well... Father, from the moment I chose the Haotian Sect as my opponent, there has been no good news for me in this world.
"Feng'er... don't worry. Even if you are fighting against the Haotian Sect this time, you may still be able to win."
"Father...do you want to hear what you're saying...look at who the participants from the Haotian Sect are...Chu Xinghe doesn't need much explanation...do you even know who Mu Bai is?"
"I heard the other day that someone challenged Mu Bai, and a peak seventh-grade cultivator was beaten to a pulp by Mu Bai with one punch and is still in bed... The world's number one weapon refiner, Ouyang Ming... has no bottom line... cough cough... The number one spirit enchanter, Ouyang Ling... The divine engraving master, Feng Yuzheng, any one of these people would be a figure that could shake the entire world..."
Although Ye Suifeng's words were pessimistic, one has to admit that he made a lot of sense.
A person's reputation precedes them. Among the people of Haotian Sect, it's not just Chu Xinghe who is famous; look at this group, isn't everyone a figure with an even greater reputation?
Any one of them alone would be far superior to Ye Suifeng... Now that they're combined, how terrifying would that be?
"Feng'er...this time the competition is for spirit beasts, not humans!"
"I know... Father... You don't think any of these people's spirit beasts are weak, do you?"
Ye Suifeng's idea was indeed flawless. When Haotian Sect first announced the list of Haotian Sect team members, many people were stunned when they saw the list.
What? The Clear Sky Sect can't find anyone capable of fighting? Aren't these people being a bit too outrageous?
But gradually everyone realized that this grand prix was about spirit beasts, not individual combat strength.
Even if you send Gu Mingchao, his spirit beasts wouldn't dare say they could sweep across the entire world, would they?
So whether it's Ouyang Ming or Ouyang Ling... although they, as siblings, are not good at fighting, it doesn't mean their spirit beasts are not good at fighting.
Surely their spirit beasts can't only be good at blacksmithing, right?
Chu Xinghe couldn't possibly select a group of spirit beasts that knew nothing and have them intentionally lose, could he?
So everyone thinks that the list Chu Xinghe selected seems outrageous at first glance, but actually hides a deadly trap.
Ye Qingcheng initially thought so too, and he didn't even know how to comfort his son. But to his utter surprise, tonight, the Liuyun Sect inexplicably received a handwritten note from the Haotian Sect annotating the spirit beasts...
Although she didn't know who sent the letter, Ye Qingcheng was overjoyed after reading its contents!
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng didn't say much and directly handed the handwritten letter to her son, Ye Suifeng.
Ye Suifeng opened the handwritten letter and glanced at its contents, then was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, Ye Suifeng could only think, is this handwritten letter even legitimate?
If we follow the content of the handwritten note, wouldn't that be too outrageous?
Look at the rubbish written on this handwritten note...
Feng Yuzheng's Nebula Cat is primarily skilled at...treasure hunting?
Mu Bai's Nebula Spirit Cat... is mainly good at... farming?
The Ouyang siblings' Nebula Spirit Cat... is mainly good at... cooking?
Chu Xinghe... has no spirit beast?
Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
Where did this handwritten note come from?
After carefully questioning her father, Ye Qingcheng still couldn't figure out how the letter came about. She only knew that the letter had suddenly appeared at the residence of the Liuyun Sect, and as for its contents, Ye Qingcheng found them quite absurd...
But now that things have come to this, no matter how outrageous it is, this handwritten letter can at least give my son some confidence, no matter how much, every little bit helps, right?
While Ye Suifeng was pondering whether handwritten letters were serious or not, Chu Xinghe could only say, "Serious!"
Very serious!
Because I was the one who secretly delivered that letter.
Although Chu Xinghe also felt that the content of the handwritten letter might be too outrageous, and Ye Suifeng probably wouldn't believe it, there was nothing Chu Xinghe could do.
I heard that Ye Suifeng became depressed after drawing lots.
If you don't give him some encouragement, what if he jumps out and admits defeat on the spot?
Although this is outrageous, it is not impossible.
So no matter how outrageous the content of this handwritten letter is, it at least gave Ye Suifeng a glimmer of hope, right?
When people have hope, at least they won't choose to give up!
Moreover, if you're talking about low morale, it's not just Ye Suifeng's side that's experiencing low morale right now; the one with the lowest morale is our Haotian Sect.
Look at Feng Yuzheng and his team. The moment they picked Ye Suifeng as their opponent, Feng Yuzheng immediately got all the information about Ye Suifeng's team.
But the more Feng Yuzheng looked, the more his brows furrowed.
Feng Yuzheng wasn't the only one frowning.
Almost everyone except Chu Xinghe was worried!
Seeing the worried faces of the team members, Chu Xinghe comforted them on the spot, saying that there was no need to worry about this game. All we needed to do was play our best and show our strength. Winning or losing was not important at all!
But when it came to Xinghe's words, everyone could only smile wryly; they really couldn't find any way to win.
Um... Senior Brother Xinghe, hurry up and tell us your secrets... Do you have some kind of special skill this time? Otherwise, we can't see where our advantage lies at all!
It's not that we lack confidence in Senior Brother Xinghe; it's that we completely lack confidence in ourselves.
That Ye Suifeng looks really powerful... Could he possibly utterly crush the four of us?
What? You mean one against five?
You're overthinking it...
No matter how ruthless Ye Suifeng is, can he defeat our Senior Brother Xinghe?
Even though our Senior Brother Xinghe doesn't even have a spirit beast, he definitely has a way to win!
We don't know if Senior Brother Xinghe will win or not, but if the four of us lose badly, we'll be humiliated by our fellow disciples when we get back.
Mu Bai even stated on the spot that if he lost, Xiao Qi would call him trash...
Seeing the four people's faces filled with despair, Chu Xinghe's mind automatically started playing "Congratulations on getting rich."
Look at those four, looking so pathetic... They've already chickened out before the fight even started. If they go up there, they'll just get slaughtered.
Of course, on the surface, Chu Xinghe certainly couldn't say that they were definitely going to lose this round.
So Chu Xinghe immediately encouraged everyone, saying, "Play whatever you want this time. Senior Brother Xinghe will back you up. Even if you all lose, Senior Brother Xinghe will cover for you. What do you have to be afraid of?"
Hearing Xinghe's words of comfort, everyone finally felt a little better.
Everyone agreed that what Xinghe said made sense. With Xinghe backing us up, what did we have to be afraid of?
Seeing everyone cheer up again, Chu Xinghe couldn't stop laughing.
Please rest assured, everyone. If your senior brother Xinghe says he will cover for you, then he absolutely will. No matter how badly you lose, I, senior brother Xinghe, don't even have a spirit beast this time... Can you lose worse than me?
So with me backing you up... what do you have to panic about...?
Our Haotian Sect must make history by being easily eliminated in the first round!
We want to show the entire Lieyang Continent that when it comes to tricks, our Haotian Sect is serious!
