I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 314: Gambling? Hehe (Subscription Request)

Chen Yi remained expressionless in the face of Taoist Huangshan's weirdness, but he was secretly resentful in his heart.

He had heard from Master Xuanjian before that Taoist Huangshan and Taoist Taixu did not get along well. Although they could not be said to be hostile or antagonistic, Taoist Huangshan always held on to some old events that happened hundreds of years ago.

Looking at it now, what Master Xuanjian said can only be considered implicit.

You have to know that Chen Yi had just shown his power, killing countless evil demons in the Wei Dynasty with his sword, and he also had the Azure Dragon divine beast in his hand. Under such circumstances, Huangshan Taoist simply ignored him and even dared to say some unpleasant words, which was enough to show his attitude towards Taixu Taoist Sect.

"Master Huangshan, I heard that you have never accepted a disciple?"

"What do you think, Marquis Yingwu?" Taoist Huangshan's smile suddenly disappeared, as it was obvious that these words hit him sore.

Especially since Taoist Xuanjian had just used these words to tease him, and now hearing Chen Yi say this again, he couldn't help but wonder whether it was Taoist Xuanjian who instructed him to do so.

"It's not a brilliant idea," Chen Yi smiled and pointed to the geniuses who were coming from the foot of the mountain.
"Look at the geniuses who are participating in this grand event. There are more than 800 of them. Among them, 30% are from various sects of our Taoism, and 30% are from schools and holy places. In addition, there are famous people in the martial arts world and descendants of aristocratic families... It's a pity that there are no disciples or descendants of the Taoist priest among these geniuses."

"Marquis Yingwu, stop beating around the bush and just say what you want to say." Taoist Huangshan vaguely guessed what he wanted to say and interrupted him with an unhappy look on his face.

Chen Yi's smile remained unchanged, and he continued to say with a smile:
"There has only been one such grand event in the past thousand years of our Wei Dynasty. I'm afraid it will be hard to have a second one in the future."

“Even if the Taoist priest accepted a disciple recently, I’m afraid he would not have the opportunity to compete with so many geniuses of the same generation.”

"Of course, in my opinion, your disciple may not be able to compete with me. After all, it is rare to find a genius like me who directly serves as the chief examiner."

After going through so much trouble, Chen Yi was just trying to poke at Taoist Huangshan's sore spots.

Doesn't he think of himself as the most powerful person in Taoism? But he doesn't even have a disciple to inherit his mantle. How can he be considered a Taoist? He is just a wild cultivator at best.

Another thing is, even if Taoist Huangshan took the trouble to teach a disciple, he would have missed this grand event and missed the opportunity to compete with other geniuses. How could he convince others even if he had outstanding talent and cultivation?

"..."

Taoist Huangshan's lips trembled. Okay, okay, is that right?
Taoist Xuanjian used these words to bully him before, and now Marquis Yingwu says it again. He doesn't even try to cover it up. He just wants to bully him because he's alone, right?
"Since Marquis Yingwu said so, I will fight for it!"

Emperor Wei saw that he seemed to be angry, so he quickly looked at the master and urged him to persuade him quickly.

The master saw it, but he pretended not to see it.

He was already feeling unhappy because Chen Yi had just helped Taoism gain prominence and overshadowed the power of the saints in their Confucian school.

Therefore, at this moment, he was actually happy to see Chen Yi and the Taoist priest Huangshan arguing with each other.

After all, Chen Yi and the Taoist priest Huangshan are both powerful people in the Taoist sect. If they don't get along, it will definitely break the unity among the Taoist sect - a good thing.

At this time, Taoist Huangshan continued, "I wonder if Marquis Yingwu dares to make a bet with me?"

"Bet? Haha," Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you want to bet, Taoist Priest?"

Unexpectedly, the old guy got so angry that he wanted to make a bet with him. He was quite tough for once.

"Let's bet on the future achievements of my disciple."

"It's not right, it's not right."

"Marquis Yingwu doesn't dare?" Taoist Huangshan said provocatively.

"It's not that I don't dare," Chen Yi smiled and shook his head, saying, "but your disciple is still nowhere to be found, and I don't even know when it will happen."

"What if you are determined to find a genius like me? Wouldn't that make me wait for ten thousand years?"

“Ten thousand, ten thousand years…?” Taoist Huangshan’s mouth twitched, and he almost wanted to hit him in the face with his whisk.

It is obvious that Chen Yi's words mean "there has not been a genius like him in ten thousand years". His shamelessness is even worse than Xuan Jian.

How dare he say that?

Emperor Wei almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard this, but seeing that the great master remained silent, he had no choice but to step forward and act as a peacemaker.

"Two examiners, the grand event has already begun, and the geniuses of our Great Wei Dynasty are about to arrive. Why don't we discuss this later?"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to say more. Since Marquis Yingwu said so, I will let him see my methods."

Taoist Huangshan snorted, "Not ten thousand years, not a hundred years, I will only bet you thirty years!"

"Thirty?" Chen Yi still shook his head: "I'm afraid I would have gone to Mount Taizhou by then, and I wouldn't have the time to come back for you."

"You?! Then how many years did you say?"

Seeing that Taoist Huangshan was about to roll up his sleeves, Chen Yi's mind raced and he immediately came up with an idea.

He glanced at Emperor Wei who had been gesturing, but did not respond. He said slowly:

"Master, I and you are both from the same sect, and you are my senior. I cannot be too harsh on you, so I will limit you to ten years."

"Ten years?" Taoist Huangshan frowned, secretly cursing him for treating his Taoist elders in this way, but he said firmly: "How do you want to bet?"

Let alone ten years, he didn't even have the confidence to train a genius like Chen Yi in the thirty years he had just mentioned.

But as a fellow Taoist master, how could he not fight for his place?

Chen Yi secretly laughed, and without further ado, he pointed at the group of geniuses who were slowly moving forward on the Dakong Temple mountain road and said:
"In ten years, you will definitely not be able to find another cultivator as talented as me."

"So I will not bully you. You can choose one of the geniuses who came to participate in the event to pass on his legacy, provided that person agrees to become my disciple."

"These people?" Taoist Huangshan was stunned for a moment, his eyes looked in the direction of his finger, and he began to ponder secretly.

That's a good suggestion.

Instead of wandering around the Wei Dynasty looking for a successor, it would be better to take advantage of this event to recruit a talented disciple.

However, Chen Yi’s reminder just now was also correct. Most of the geniuses who came to participate in this event had inheritance from sects, and only a very small number were idle wild cultivators with great opportunities.

If the sect or family where the genius he wants to accept as his successor belongs disagrees... ha ha ha, no way!

Thinking of this, Taoist Huangshan nodded and said, "Let's bet!"

"Don't be anxious," Chen Yi raised his lips slightly, "Master, please listen to what I have to say before you decide."

"Stop talking nonsense. No matter what you say, I'm going to make a bet with you!" Taoist Huangshan didn't believe that after hundreds of years of hard practice and with countless natural treasures on him, he still couldn't cultivate a successor who could be as good as Chen Yi.

Chen Yi ignored him and said to himself: "Let's go first. It's not easy for you to train a successor. If I let him compete with me, it will seem that I am bullying the weak. After all, in ten years, my cultivation level cannot stand still."

"so……"

Chen Yi paused, looked at Taoist Huangshan and suggested, "How about competing with the other geniuses of my Taixu Dao Sect?"

"which one?"

"Since the conditions for the fight were proposed by me, then the candidates will be chosen by the Taoist priest."

Taoist Huangshan immediately looked displeased, "Marquis Yingwu, aren't you afraid that I will choose your junior sister?" He might not know what the geniuses of other sects and holy places are like, but he knew several of those in Taixu Taoist Sect very well.

Apart from the freak Chen Yi, the talents of several geniuses in Taixu Taoist Sect are outstanding, such as Xiao Huang's daughter, Xiao Gu's disciple, and the girl who is proficient in alchemy.

The rest, especially Hua Youxiang, whom he called Chen Yi's fellow junior sister, had ordinary talents.

"Of course I'm not afraid," Chen Yi blinked and said with a smile, "I've spoken and I can't go back on my word. I'll let you choose."

Taoist Huangshan snorted, pinched two seals with his fingers in his sleeves, his eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately used the vision technique to look at Xiao Xuanzhen, Lin Xueru and others.

The daughter of Xiao Huang, she is quite talented. She is from the upper fourth grade and is about to break through to the lower third grade Tianhe realm. Her skills and abilities are also remarkable.

It should be correct that Xiao Gu’s disciple is called Lin Xueru, and she is also Chen Yi’s future wife. Her talent... wow, is much higher than the previous one!

The last one has outstanding talent in alchemy...I will skip him.

Soon, Taoist Huangshan made a decision. He glanced at Chen Yi and said, "I will not bully you. I will choose Lin Xueru from your Taixu Taoist Sect as your opponent."

"Oh?" Chen Yi thought to himself, as expected, this old Taoist is too picky and would definitely not really choose Erhua.

Although he would have no choice if he really chose Erhua, but if he chose the little girl as his opponent, he would naturally have a better chance of winning.

"Are you sure, Taoist priest?"

"My words are as good as gold!"

Taoist Huangshan put his hands behind his back and raised his head, humming, "The bet has been decided. I wonder what Marquis Yingwu plans to use as the prize?"

Chen Yi smiled and said, "I have heard that the Taoist priest has countless treasures, and he would not be interested in ordinary things. So, I will use my three wooden swords with sword spirit as the bet."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out three small wooden swords from the Sumeru bag, and saw that they were shining with magical colors.

"But in order to prevent the Taoist priest from feeling disadvantaged, I will refine three more swords ten years later with my current level of cultivation."

Taoist Huangshan was also a connoisseur, so he could naturally tell that the three small wooden swords were attached with the sword spirit of the fifth level of supernatural power. He agreed to use this as a means of betting.

However, if Chen Yi makes another breakthrough in his cultivation ten years later, the sword arts he creates will naturally be the best.

With this thought in mind, Taoist Huangshan also took out an object and said, "Then I will use this painting as a bet."

I saw that he was holding a closed scroll, which was only the size of his little finger and looked ordinary.

But Chen Yi was able to sense the divine will above and nodded: "I have no objection."

At this time, the great master saw what the Taoist Huangshan was holding, and he was actually a little jealous, and immediately said:

"I wonder if I can join you two in your gambling fight?"

"you?"

Chen Yi thought it was odd and glanced at him. Seeing that his eyes were fixed on the scroll, he immediately understood.

"I have no objection. It depends on Taoist Huangshan..."

"I have no objection, but Lin Zhongke, what do you want to bet on?"

The master smiled and pointed at the Xuanguang mirror he had just taken out and said, "This is the mirror."

"I think the Taoist priest should know that this item was left by the founder of my Kyoto Academy. It is similar to the mountain and river map in your hand."

Taoist Huangshan did not refute, but just snorted and said, "Aren't you afraid of losing the bet?"

"If I were to compete with Marquis Yingwu, I would certainly not seek to embarrass myself, but a competition between disciples is another matter."

Chen Yi looked at him with a half-smile: "Master, do you plan to let Xie Dongan participate in the gambling fight?"

"Dong'an's talent is comparable to that of Junior Sister Yingwu Hou, so it should be okay, right?" The great master would naturally not accept disciples at a grand event like Taoist Huangshan did, nor would he be so arrogant as to choose other people from the Kyoto Academy. In terms of both emotion and reason, Xie Dong'an is the most suitable candidate.

"Naturally."

Chen Yi has confidence in Lin Xueru. Even now, the little girl can break through the third-grade Tianhe realm with her own talent. If she has his assistance, her future achievements will only be higher.

However, in this way, his previous plan to prevent the little girl from being among the top ten geniuses would be in vain.

Yeah.

Based on his understanding of the little girl, if she knew that he was interfering and preventing her from participating in the gambling fight between humans and demons, even if she didn't say anything to him, she would probably feel sad.

Now that he has made this bet, he might as well devote all his energy to helping the little girl improve her skills and techniques so that she can stand on her own in the future.

Seeing that the matter was confirmed, Chen Yi sent a message to Lin Xueru and told her the whole story with a smile.

The little girl was really nervous, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was no harm in this, and she could stay with her brother Yi for a while longer, so she agreed and promised to win the bet.

At this time, Emperor Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You three examiners... I really don't know what to say."

"After all, we are all citizens of the Great Wei. I would be happy to see more powerful people come out to protect the world for me."

"But the most urgent thing is this grand event, and we can't let anything go wrong again."

Hearing this, Chen Yi and the other two looked at each other. They didn't want to offend him, so they nodded in agreement.

Not long after, a group of geniuses gathered at the martial arts arena of Dakong Temple.

At this time, a wide area had been cleared here, and there were viewing platforms suspended in the air around it, with many people sitting on them.

At the highest point is the platform prepared for Chen Yi and others. Surrounding it are the noble families of Kyoto Prefecture, ministers of the court, and people of respected status from various prefectures, sects, schools and holy places.

After all the geniuses arrived, Emperor Wei brought Chen Yi and the other two to the martial arts arena and sat down one by one.

"The first competition will be led by Mr. Da. Let's begin."

The Master nodded to the others, then took a step forward, hovering in the air and looking down at the group of geniuses, holding up the Mysterious Light Mirror in his hand and saying:
"I believe you all have known the content of the competition in advance. Today, we will not compare our cultivation, but only our talent and character. Whoever walks out of this mysterious mirror first will be the first in the first round!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he did not give anyone a chance to speak. The righteous energy around him suddenly burst out. Amidst the shining red-gold light, the mysterious mirror in his hand suddenly expanded and flew out.

Immediately afterwards, wisps of righteous energy emerged from the Xuan Guang Mirror and wrapped around all the geniuses one by one.

In a short while, Lin Xueru and the others closed their eyes slightly, and their minds entered the Xuan Guang mirror, and they could still see their figures in the mirror.

After doing all this, the great master flew back again, and at the same time waved his hand to let the Xuanguan Mirror project hundreds of images so that the onlookers in the Dakong Temple could see more clearly.

Even the crowd of wanderers, people from noble families, and common people who were waiting around the Dakong Temple could see some shadows from afar.

There were also black-armored guards who were specifically responsible for conveying the progress of the event. They ran out of the Dakong Temple and spread the message to the outside world:
“The grand event has begun!”

"The first competition will be hosted by the great teacher of Kyoto Academy, and will only compare the talents, potential and character of each of the geniuses!"
