Chapter 62 1 chance
Chapter 62 An opportunity
It is quiet by the White Horse Lake.
The light from hundreds of lanterns hanging alone in the night sky seemed to be even dimmer than before when it met the cold winter air.
In the dim light, the expressions of the people in the field became more and more interesting, or rather, more and more strange.
Many people thought of a problem, or a rule.
After the current saint regained the broken mountains and rivers a hundred years ago, in order to centralize power and suppress all sects in the world, he set up a new test called the Summer Festival. Even the countries in the world outside the Qin Dynasty are abiding by this rule.
What are the rules?
That is, outside of the summer festival, no sect or force is allowed to accept disciples or grant inheritance without permission. Anyone who violates this law will become a demon or an evil sect.
This rule has greatly restricted the expansion of the sect's power, forcing sects all over the world to invest huge resources in the summer festival to compete for a suitable disciple.
If a sect wants to recruit a disciple outside of the summer festival, first of all, the person's age must be over the age limit for the summer festival, and the consent and signature of the government must be obtained, which is considered to be in compliance with the procedure.
Under these many rules and restrictions, the sects and forces in the world have long given up the idea of imparting martial arts techniques in advance.
Before the end of the summer festival, today's young practitioners basically practice universal skills, with only some differences. This is the difference and feature, or the gap, between the various academies and Taoist temples.
After the summer festival is over and the practitioners enter the sect, they will turn to practice their own sect’s inheritance and truly embark on the journey to ascend to the great road.
This is why there has never been a genius above the Dongzhen realm since every summer festival. It is not that no one can break through to the Yangshen realm, but that after passing the Dongzhen realm, practitioners will become unsuitable for switching to practicing other techniques.
From a certain perspective, this rule has greatly reduced the gap between people and reduced the number of battles where both sides lose due to differences in martial arts. It can be regarded as a manifestation of fairness.
The practitioners who were born during this hundred years and who referred to the summer festival often praised this rule and rarely opposed it.
So, when Bai Langxing revealed this extremely cold aura in public tonight and blatantly ignored this well-known rule, even those girls who had previously had some affection for him frowned and showed obvious emotions.
Even though the vast majority of the geniuses present were no match for His Royal Highness the Prince, it did not stop them from hating this privilege from the bottom of their hearts.
Not to mention that the technique that Bai Langxing had practiced in advance was obviously one of the highest inheritances of the Qin imperial family - the Frost Tribulation of All Things.
There are few inheritances in the world that can be compared with this one.
This is so unfair!
Even if you are a member of the royal family and will definitely be able to inherit this in the future, it is reasonable for you to practice in advance, but you should at least give some face to the rules set by His Majesty the Emperor and not put such things directly on the table, right?
Many people thought so, and then gradually understood why Bai Langxing did not take Gu Zhuo seriously tonight.
Everything has a reason.
……
……
Bai Langxing doesn't care about those complicated looks.
He looked indifferent, staring quietly at the backs of Gu Zhuo and Lin Wanyi without saying another word.
However, as his gaze fell from more than ten feet away, the grass at their feet lost its original green color and turned frosty at a speed visible to the naked eye. The lake water on which they were riding on the boat no longer rippled with moonlight because it had frozen into ice.
The night wind blew continuously, and the chill grew more and more severe.
The little monk looked at the frosted grass and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The Taoist goddess frowned slightly, and it was obvious that she was unhappy.
When these two leaders of the younger generation expressed their opinions, many people present gained courage and stopped shivering like quails in the cold.
Only Song Jinglun's face became increasingly ugly, and he was getting closer and closer to Bai Langxing. It seemed that he would soon surpass him - after all, it was because of him that this banquet tonight was held, so he must bear some responsibility for what was happening now.
It all happened very quickly, in just a moment.
Gu Zhuo had just finished saying those three sentences. Lin Wanyi was still smiling, her skirt fluttering slightly.
When everyone looked at them, they couldn't help but feel some sad thoughts of sympathy or sympathy for each other. They just wondered how they would deal with it if they were faced with such an embarrassing situation.
In the eyes of most people, when Bai Langxing ignored the rules of the summer festival and directly displayed the mystery of the frost tribulation of all things, Gu Zhuo's previous words "you can't beat me" had lost their effect.
The gap between the two sides' martial arts techniques is so huge that it is completely appropriate to describe it as a world of difference.
The outcome is no longer in doubt.
Thinking about it this way, the words that Gu Zhuo and Lin Wanyi had said before seemed to come back to them to some extent.
"How childish...how unqualified...I can't win...I'm bringing shame upon myself."
Bai Langxing looked at the backs of the two and said with emotion: "Then I'll also give you a word of advice, you don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is..."
Every time he repeated a previous word, everyone felt a slight sound in the silent air. Each sound was so crisp, just like the sound of palm touching cheek.
Snapped.
Snapped.
Snapped.
Therefore, when the voice came to an abrupt end and several extremely real slight sounds were suddenly heard in the room, many people were unable to react and thought it was all their own illusions.
But this is no illusion.
Is the truth.
Bai Langxing could no longer continue his sighing, his eyes became solemn.
His gaze moved from Gu Zhuo to the side, and he saw that the frosted grass was turning green again. The ice formed by the lake water broke into pieces and began to melt at a rapid speed, rippling again with the night breeze, allowing the moonlight to linger in it.
The breath of the frost catastrophe that befell all things still exists and has never dissipated, bringing a real chill to this place.
However, nothing here was affected anymore.
Why is this?
How did Gu Zhuo do it?
On the other side of the lake, representatives from many sects who had come to watch the banquet tonight also frowned, their confusion obvious.
Only a few people seemed to be thinking about it.
The deacons of the Sky Patrol Department had already felt deeply troubled and even overwhelmed the moment Bai Langxing displayed the frost catastrophe of all things.
Witnessing this scene, their headaches were immediately cured, but were replaced by confusion and shock.
Then, a question arose in everyone's mind.
How will this banquet end tonight?
Are we really going to have a fight?
Lin Qianshui was filled with worry.
Shen Jingtiannu thought, since this matter has nothing to do with her anyway, she might as well just watch the show and then go to her elders to report Bai Langxing tomorrow.
Monk Wuque thought, since Bai Langxing is no longer following the rules, can he also go down and help beat him up?
Lin Wanyi didn't think about anything, sighed, and said, "It seems we have to leave a little later."
Bai Langxing ignored this sentence, looked at Gu Zhuo's back, and said expressionlessly: "You are indeed a little better than I thought..."
I couldn't finish my words.
Gu Zhuo turned and looked at Bai Langxing, his expression still calm and his tone as gentle as a spring breeze.
"I'll give you a chance to challenge me."
