Chapter 204 Finals, Happy Event
Chapter 204 Finals, Happy Event
"The finals will be held in three days. The contestants can take a break during these few days."
After Elder Qingshan finished speaking, he turned and left.
After Chief Fu brought the five sons of the Fu family back to the reception hall, they recounted their experiences in Minghuangtian. They learned that it was Fu Shaoping who rescued Shaoqing and the other four. Chief Fu was very pleased, but when he saw the totem on Fu Shaoping's arm, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
He is truly the talented child of the Fu family!
Patriarch Fu gave the five people a few more instructions before they dispersed.
After Fu Shaoping returned to his secret room.
Looking at the totem on his arm, he fell into deep thought.
The power of the totem disappeared after leaving Minghuangtian.
Fu Shaoping has an idea:
“If I were to recreate the unicorn totem statue in this world, I wonder if I would be able to regain the totem power.”
of course.
All this depends on the end of the Aristocratic Family Competition.
Let go of distracting thoughts.
Fu Shaoping began to practice his skills.
blink.
Three days passed by in a flash.
Wait until he comes out.
Chief Fu was already waiting in the yard. When he saw Fu Shaoping, he handed him a letter:
"Miss Nangong has left Huainan and left you a letter before she left."
Nangong Ning has been missing for so many years.
Whether it was her father Yun Zhenzi or her master, they would surely rush over to pick her up after hearing the news about her.
This is all reasonable.
After opening the envelope.
But I saw two pages of words written on it.
Gratitude is expressed between the lines.
the end.
Mentioned after returning to the sect.
She will definitely find a way to give Fu Shaoping a surprise.
Fu Shaoping put the envelope away and smiled.
Fu Shaoping did not mention anything to Clan Leader Fu about his encounter with Nangong Ning in Minghuangtian. Clan Leader Fu saw that Nangong Ning sent a letter to Fu Shaoping before leaving, so he knew that the two must have a close relationship. It would be great if he could rely on Yun Zhenzi, a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Then the Fu family will have a solid backing in Huainan for the next hundred years.
Everyone arrived at the martial arts arena one after another.
Although this time only the Cui family, the Ye family, and the Fu family are competing.
but.
However, no one from the other seven great families was absent.
They were also curious about how the final would be conducted, and whether the Cui family would be the winner in the end, or whether the Fu family would be the biggest dark horse.
After everyone gathered.
This time, Elder Qingshan was followed by six elders from the Qingyun Sect.
Seven people were suspended in the air.
Elder Qingshan said loudly:
"The final competition of the Aristocratic Family Competition is to climb the Heavenly Ladder. The ranking is determined by the number of Heavenly Steps climbed. The final score is the one with the highest number of Heavenly Steps climbed from each family."
The words fell.
Everyone was confused.
It was the first time for them to hear about the ladder to heaven.
Judging from the current situation.
Obviously.
The winner of this final will be decided very quickly, unlike entering the Dark Emperor Heaven where it takes so long.
but.
Regarding the content of the finals.
Everyone felt that it was still a bit too simple.
Fu Shaoqing behind Fu Shaoping couldn't help but say:
"Patriarch, have you ever heard of the Heavenly Ladder of Qingyun Sect?"
Patriarch Fu just shook his head.
But I heard the ancestor's voice in my ears.
After a while.
Then he said:
"The ancestor said that the Heavenly Ladder of Qingyun Sect is specially used to select their true disciples. The Ten Great Families spent a lot of money to put out the Heavenly Ladder in this final. For those who want to climb the Heavenly Ladder, this is also an opportunity. Let everyone hold on as long as possible and climb as high as possible."
As for the rest.
But Patriarch Fu said nothing more.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shaoping became more interested.
After everyone discussed it.
However, the seven elders of Qingyun Sect floating in the air slapped their storage bags and each took out a magic weapon. The magic weapons were of different shapes, and each one looked incomplete. However, if you look closely, you will find that these seven magic weapons can be combined together unexpectedly.
Accompanied by seven Yuandan realm powerhouses casting one spell after another into the incomplete magic weapon.
A buzzing sound.
The incomplete magic weapon made a slight sound.
The seven magic weapons all moved towards the center at the same time.
At last.
Bang!
The seven incomplete magic weapons were combined together.
Brilliant rays of light shot out in the air. After the magic weapon took shape, it turned into a jade seal. The seven Yuandans poured huge amounts of energy into the seal with a bang. The seal trembled slightly and flew into the void.
In the void.
Accompanied by wisps of white light.
However, in the midst of the clouds, a ladder that went into the unknown depths of the clouds appeared before their eyes.
There are countless levels of the ladder.
Elder Qingshan said loudly:
"The ladder has appeared, all contestants may begin."
As he spoke, a ball of white light surged from the finals tokens in the hands of the five people from the Fu family, the three people from the Cui family, and the four people from the Ye family who had entered the finals. The white light lifted up the twelve people and slowly floated up. It seemed slow, but in the blink of an eye, they landed at the foot of the ladder.
The three monks looked at each other.
Cui Tiansi snorted coldly and took the lead in spreading his legs and taking a step forward.
Boom!
He stepped onto the first step of the ladder with his left foot.
The air was buzzing.
After Cui Tiansi took this step, he felt as if he was carrying a heavy burden and his body staggered. He circulated the energy in his body and finally stabilized his body. However, he did not take the second step immediately!
Fu Shaoping watched from the side, thoughtful.
It seems that this ladder has increased the centripetal force, and every step will be difficult.
With Cui Tiansi's example, the others also became eager to take action and started taking their first steps. Because they were prepared, they only swayed slightly in their first step and did not almost fall like Cui Tiansi.
Amy Yip said to Fu Shaoping:
"Shaoping, come on!"
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
Fu Shaoping took a deep breath, and without hesitation, he circulated the energy in his body and infused it into his feet. He took a step forward and stepped onto the first step of the ladder. The moment he stepped out, he felt as if there was a strong magnetic field in the ladder, which made his feet seem to be glued to it and unable to move at all. This was not all. In the dark, it seemed that the void had a huge burden on his shoulders:
“This weight!”
Fu Shaoping was somewhat shocked.
If a warrior who has not gone through the Body Tempering Realm steps onto the Heavenly Ladder, his body will probably be crushed into a ball of flesh.
After getting used to the weight.
Fu Shaoping did not hesitate and continued to move forward.
Because his body had been cleansed many times, his bones were tougher than those of ordinary people. In addition, the energy in his body was originally stronger than that of others. Therefore, at the beginning, he was obviously more relaxed than others.
Boom boom boom!
I saw him climb up ten steps in one breath.
Look back.
Cui Tiansi, who started first, was two steps lower than him. When he saw Fu Shaoping looking at him, he narrowed his eyes, roared in his heart, and with two thumps, he actually released a huge force and was on the same level with Fu Shaoping. However.
Before he could catch his breath.
Fu Shaoping has already started his second climb.
In the blink of an eye, he left Cui Tiansi behind.
Cui Tiansi, however, was chasing closely.
Unknowingly.
The two of them have left the people behind them far behind.
When he stepped onto the 21st step, Fu Shaoping clearly felt that each step he took was heavier than the previous 20 steps combined. The gravity pressing on him seemed to crush him into slag.
Otherwise.
A strange scene happened.
When he stepped onto the 21st step.
The pressure all over my body was relieved.
Moreover, there seemed to be a mysterious force flowing up from the soles of my feet, making them feel numb and tingling. My strained muscles were repairing quickly, and after the repairs were completed, they were surrounded by a faint golden light, and they were more solid and powerful than before:
"Is this the opportunity that the ancestor talked about?"
Fu Shaoping's eyes lit up with joy.
Gravity forces the filth out of the body, and then uses mysterious energy to repair the damaged body, making it stronger.
It is obviously a deeper level of body tempering.
If only I could climb a few more floors.
That would obviously be of great benefit to his subsequent tempering of the Tiangang Qi.
Fu Shaoping's heart was suddenly ignited with motivation, and he circulated the Yuan energy in his body at full speed. At the same time, he called upon the water from the Yuanquan Well in the chaotic space to enter his body, continuously replenishing the consumed Yuan energy.
Cui Tiansi, who had been following Fu Shaoping all the time, saw that Fu Shaoping suddenly seemed to be energized and his speed did not slow down but increased instead. He cursed in his heart, gritted his teeth, and followed him again. After he sensed the magical power, he finally understood why Fu Shaoping was so depressed.
but.
Before stepping into the ladder.
All the elixirs and spiritual herbs they used to replenish their energy were handed over.
Although he felt that he would be able to temper himself more as time went on, one third of his internal energy had already been consumed.
Looking at Fu Shaoping's agile figure.
It seemed as if the other party's energy had been so abundant from the beginning to now.
Before stepping into the ladder.
It's cheating.
The ten great elders cross-checked the twelve of them, and there was no possibility that Fu Shaoping had hidden the elixir privately:
"Humph, he's just a reckless man."
In his opinion.
Fu Shaoping just wanted to be the center of attention among the crowd.
It seems easy.
In fact, it's just a pretense.
Maybe the opponent's internal energy has been almost exhausted by now, and he can only climb a few more steps at most.
Thinking like this.
Cui Tiansi did not chase him madly like before.
He deliberately slowed down his pace, controlled his breathing, made full use of every bit of energy in his body, and climbed up with firm steps.
In the stands.
Everyone was very excited at first.
But after watching it for a while, I felt bored.
It's just climbing a ladder, there's nothing to see, so everyone started whispering and talking.
The Fu clan leader's mind was all on the Fu family members on the ladder, especially when he saw Fu Shaoping leading the way, his face was not happy but worried:
"Is this child too radical?"
You should proceed step by step like Cui Tiansi. There is no time limit anyway.
But Shao Ping doesn't seem to be such a reckless person in normal times, right?
On the other side, Chief Cui saw this scene and finally vented the pent-up anger in his heart. He sneered at Chief Ye and said, "Chief Ye, I think your son-in-law will stop at the 25th step soon. But my Tiansi is firm and powerful in every step. He is the best candidate."
Followed by.
He changed his voice to say:
"Brother Ye, don't you really want to consider canceling this marriage?"
"My Tiansi is a rare talent. Besides, if the Fu family wins the second place in this competition, the resources obtained by your Ye family will be ranked lower. I really don't understand why your Ye family puts the interests of the Fu family first. If you had joined forces with me, what would the Fu family have to do now? Huainan Prefecture has so many resources. If you protect the Fu family, you will probably be bitten back in the end. It's a thankless task!"
Patriarch Cui still refused to give up.
If the Ye family agrees to join forces with him, they may no longer protect the Fu family.
Even if the Fu family obtained abundant resources this time, they would not be able to enjoy them. For the long-term benefit of the family, getting rid of the Fu family at this time is undoubtedly the best strategy.
How come Patriarch Ye, with his stupid brain, just can't figure it out?
Patriarch Ye looked at the figures on the ladder. Ye Ziqian, the best performing member of their Ye family, was only ranked fourth. From the current perspective, in this aristocratic family competition, their Ye family would probably drop one place and become third.
What Chief Cui said.
to be frank.
He was moved.
But if you try to get the skin of a tiger, you will never have a good ending.
The rise of the Fu family is an inevitable trend. Although Zimei did not say it explicitly, his words and deeds showed that Fu Shaoping saved Nangong Ning's life. This means that the one standing in the Fu family's shoes in the future will be a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. Even if they join forces with the Cui family, they dare not challenge a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.
In the past, the Fu family was dependent on the Ye family.
Judging from the current situation.
From now on the roles will be reversed.
therefore.
Patriarch Ye seemed to have not heard Patriarch Cui's words of persuasion.
Chief Cui was met with a cold shoulder, and he threw his sleeves away and snorted coldly:
"Ignorant of good and evil."
at this time.
In the ladder.
Amy Yip, who was at the end of the queue, looked like she was able to handle it easily, but she crushed the token in her hand and a ball of white light enveloped her and teleported her to the ground.
The people who were discussing were stunned for a moment.
No one thought of it.
Amy Yip was actually the first one to give up voluntarily.
The other party had only taken ten steps.
The reputation of the twin pearls of the Ye family is not undeserved in Huainan. Everyone was puzzled as to why Ye Zimei suddenly withdrew from the competition.
Even Patriarch Ye, the father of Ye Zimei, looked at Ye Zimei with a puzzled look. Ye Zimei's face flashed with shyness, and she whispered to Patriarch Ye with her lips moving:
"Father, I'm pregnant!"
"what?!"
Patriarch Ye was stunned for a moment and almost cried out in surprise.
He quickly reached out and felt Ye Zimei's pulse, and it was indeed more than two months.
Pregnant before marriage!
Although he is not an old-fashioned person, it would be bad if it were spread out:
"You are such a willful kid. Is the child Shao Ping's?"
just in case.
Patriarch Ye still asked a question.
Amy Yip nodded slightly.
Patriarch Ye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He calculated that their wedding date was originally after the competition, so the timing was just right. However, when the child was born, they would have to say it was a premature birth, otherwise it would not sound good if it got out.
"From today on, you don't need to work too hard. You should take good care of your body. Do you understand?"
"Well, my daughter knows."
Amy Yip laughed.
If she wasn't afraid of harming the fetus, she wouldn't have given up the competition so quickly.
After all, climbing the ladder to heaven is a rare opportunity. But she does not regret it. Her and Shao Ping's child is more important than anything else.
