Chapter 879: Being Questioned
"So, Grandpa will definitely lose!" Xu Xiufan said with a sad face.
Seeing him like this, Li Jing quickly added, "I didn't say Senior Brother Xu wasn't strong enough. He's the person whose strength has improved the fastest that I've ever seen. It's just that the timeframe was too short. If we give Senior Brother Xu another two hundred years, I believe his strength would be no less than Bu Jinghong's."
"hehe!"
Wang Xuan smiled and consoled him, "Junior Brother Xiufan, calm down and watch the competition carefully. Your grandfather's achievement is beyond the reach of countless others. Don't worry too much about winning or losing."
"Yes!"
Ling Zhong also smiled and said comfortingly: "The competition for seed quotas in Donghua Immortal Sect is the business of those elite disciples. Senior Brother Xu and others on the top 100 list are just here to make up the numbers."
Jiang Yuxiu nodded and said, "Brother Xu, it's truly remarkable that he has made it this far, but he has to stop here."
Su Xianren said helplessly, "If you want to blame someone, blame Senior Brother Xu for rising too late. If he had been given another three hundred years to settle down, maybe he would have had a chance to compete for a spot. Unfortunately, time is running out."
"I understand what you said. It seems that I was asking too much of Grandpa."
Xu Xiufan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
If you think about it carefully, my grandfather has grown from a cowherd to where he is today, which is one in billions.
At this time in the world of immortal cultivation in Dongyu, the story of the cowherd boy Xu Changshou's cultivation has been recorded in history, and even after countless years, people still talk about it with relish.
But this is the Sangyu Immortal Realm. The Sangyu Immortal Realm is too big, with too many geniuses, too many strong people, and too many second-generation immortals. Compared with those super geniuses, grandpa can only become an ordinary person.
……
Seeing Xu Changshou, the five elders frowned.
Soon, the discussions of the people below reached their ears, and they learned about Xu Changshou's origins.
Finally, he turned his questioning gaze towards Ye Jingwan and said unhappily, "Junior Sister Ye, why did you choose him as the champion?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingwan said lightly, "I didn't interfere with the selection of the champion. I gave it entirely to Ye Wang. This Xu Changshou was recommended by Ye Wang."
"hehe!"
Wu Songgu sneered: "Junior Sister Ye, you chose a puppet champion because you don't want to expose Ye Mengyao's strength too early."
Ye Jingwan smiled when she heard this: "Mengyao is not steady enough to be the champion. I was afraid she would cause trouble, so I didn't let her be the champion."
"is that so……"
"OK OK."
Wu Songgu was about to say something when he was interrupted by Second Elder Li Mochou. He frowned and said, "The champion has already been chosen. There's no point in saying more now. Senior Brother Nie, I propose that starting from the next finals, the Top 100 disciples be disqualified from competing."
"I agree!" Third Elder Su Rongzi nodded.
"I agree!"
Fifth Elder Song Qigu said coldly, "In previous final battles, cultivators from the top 100 only participated to make up the numbers. Disqualifying them would save trouble."
Ye Jingwan smiled gently, looked at Nie Tian and asked, "I won't comment on this matter. Senior Brother Nie will make the decision."
"Um……"
Great Elder Nie Tianwen hesitated for a moment before speaking, "That's fine. If no exceptional talent emerges from the top 100 this time, their eligibility to participate will be revoked."
On the other side, Gu Chengjun and several other people who were familiar with Xu Changshou also became nervous when they saw Xu Changshou enter, and they discussed in low voices.
"Old Gu, you know Xu the best. Do you know how he was chosen?"
"How should I know?"
"I heard that Xu Changshou was chosen because he is an old acquaintance of Ye Wang."
"Nonsense, absolutely nonsense, he can't be chosen as the champion."
"This guy is nothing. He just takes the title of champion because he's asked to. He doesn't even consider his own worth."
"Yeah, he's definitely going to be embarrassed this time. I'm afraid he'll be the first champion to be eliminated."
"That's for sure. Xu Changshou is no match for Bu Jinghong. They are not even on the same level."
None of Gu Chengjun and the others were optimistic about Xu Changshou.
After all, a hundred years ago, Xu Changshou's challenge reached the 75th place in the top 100 list, which was already the limit.
Now Xu Changshou is ranked 16th on the top 100 list. During this period, they did not pay too much attention to Xu Changshou, but only a hundred years have passed, and Xu Changshou can reach the 16th place, which is already amazing enough.
They understood Xu Changshou's situation, so they determined that Xu Changshou could not defeat Bu Jinghong.
In the arena, Xu Changshou and Bu Jinghong stood opposite each other.
Xu Changshou's face was calm as he bowed and said, "Brother Bu, please take action."
"hehe!"
Bu Jinghong smiled and said, "Junior Brother Xu, I don't know why Senior Brother Ye Wang recommended you to be the champion, but I want to tell you that you are no match for me. Champion number ninety-nine is mine."
"Brother Bu, are you so confident that you can beat me?"
Xu Changshou spoke with a smile, but in his heart he was thinking about what means to use to deal with Bu Jinghong.
Now, he has many unknown cards.
The only one known to everyone is the weakest one, Immortal Slaying.
If I use the Immortal Slaying Technique to deal with Bu Jinghong, it probably won't work.
As Xu Changshou's cultivation level reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm, the power of the Immortal Slayer also increased. If he were to deal with Huo Tianying, the Immortal Slayer might be able to win, but it might not be the case against Bu Jinghong.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Xu Changshou must use stronger means.
Currently, he has four trump cards.
The most powerful move is undoubtedly Zhu Xian.
The second is the Ten Thousand Thunder Fist.
The next is the Burial of Immortals.
The last one is the Thunder Finger.
Among these four moves, although the Thunder Finger is the weakest, it is much stronger than the Immortal Slaying Finger.
Thinking of this, Xu Changshou secretly made a decision in his heart: just use the Thunder Finger.
"Hahaha!"
After hearing Xu Changshou's words, Bu Jinghong laughed and said, "Junior Brother Xu, you still don't understand the gap between you and me? Let me tell you this, among the elite disciples, I don't think I'm strong, but against you, even if I lose two hundred years of cultivation, you still can't do it."
After hearing Bu Jinghong's words, Xu Changshou's face was expressionless, and he was not moved at all. He still smiled and bowed: "Brother Bu, please take action!"
Bu Jinghong proudly shook his head and said with a smile: "You are my junior brother, so I will let you make the first move. Please."
"Brother Bu, please show some mercy. I won't be polite anymore."
As Xu Changshou spoke, he clasped his hands together, and a thunder disk as big as the moon slowly condensed in front of his chest. The thunder disk was covered with dense runes.
Xu Changshou did not attack immediately, but defended first. He was not sure of Bu Jinghong's strength, so it was right to defend first.
"Huh? This is the Thunder Shield Technique from the Small Thunder Punishment Technique."
Seeing Xu Changshou use the Thunder Shield Technique, Wan Daoqi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is this a lightning shield technique? It doesn't look like it. Why are there runes?"
"Is he planning to use the Thunder Shield Technique to defend himself? That's a bit ridiculous. The Thunder Shield Technique can't defend against Bu Jinghong's attacks."
"So what if he knows the Lightning Shield Technique? He will definitely lose!"
