Mortal Bones

"I lost this match. I was not as skilled as my opponent and I admit defeat sincerely."

On the Bronze Sparrow Tower, Du Shouzhuo of the Seven Stars Tomb chose to admit defeat very decisively after receiving two more punches from Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping nodded slightly and said:

"You are too modest, my friend."

Du Shouzhuo smiled and said:

"Brother Wuming, if you have the chance in the future, you can come to my Seven Stars Tomb and visit me."

Xu Taiping also smiled faintly and said:

"If I have the chance, I will definitely go and visit."

As he will be traveling in the land of chaos for a long time in the future, Xu Taiping naturally doesn’t mind getting to know more people who practice cultivation.

Du Shouzhuo smiled heartily, clasped his fists and said:

"See you again!"

As he spoke, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot with a "boom".

At this time, the boy from the Black Prison appeared on the Bronze Sparrow Tower.

He smiled at Xu Taiping, then announced loudly:

"The winner of this competition is an unknown cultivator from the lower realm."

Compared with the previous competition, the reactions of the people in the Bronze Prison to this competition were much more indifferent.

One reason is that the Seven Star Tomb is not very famous.

The most important thing is that the gap between Du Shouzhuo's combat power and Xu Taiping's combat power is really too big.

"Alas..." Hanjian Tianjun sighed, "The difference in combat power between the two sides is too great. This competition seems a bit boring."

Hanjian Tianjun crossed his arms and continued:

"It seems that unless he meets a cultivator who is equal to Nangong Wen, it will be useless for Xu Taiping even if he fights ten or a hundred times."

“No,” Great Sage Tianshu shook his head, “Even if it was a cultivator with the same level of cultivation as Nangong Wen, it would not have much impact on Xu Taiping’s improvement.”

The Great Sage Tianshu took a deep breath with a solemn look:

"Right now, I'm afraid that only by fighting with the cultivators on the Tianjiao Ranking can Xu Taiping's ability to mobilize combat power reach its peak."

Hanjian Tianjun nodded in agreement and said:

"It looks like we can only wait and see until the next game."

At this time, the voice of the Black Prison Boy came from the Bronze Sparrow Tower again:

"The next challenger is from Wolf Spider Ridge, Tu Baichuan!"

Hearing this, Hanjian Tianjun immediately held his forehead and said:

"Third-rate forces like Wolf Spider Ridge should not join in the fun! It seems that this competition is even more boring than the one with Du Shouzhuo!"

The Great Sage of the Heavenly Hunting rolled his eyes at the Heavenly Monarch of the Cold Stream and said:

"If you're in a hurry, you can go to the fifth floor to see what's going on."

Hanjian Tianjun immediately looked stern and said:

"Goodbye. If those two knew I was coming, they might put aside their grudges and join forces to kill me."

The Great Sage Tianshu smiled and said:

"You do have some self-awareness."

At this moment, before Tu Baichuan could come on stage, a young man's slightly hoarse voice suddenly exploded in the Bronze Prison -

"Sir from the Black Prison, please wait a moment."

At this moment, accompanied by an ear-piercing sound, a ball of golden flame suddenly fell on the stage.

"Bang!"

Because the boy had seen Tu Baichuan when registering today, he was so sure that the young man who came was not the monk who was challenging the challenge.

The young man narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"Sir, I am indeed here to challenge this nameless Taoist priest."

The Black Prison Boy frowned and said:

"Even if you are a cultivator who comes to challenge the nameless Taoist priest, please register first and then go on stage according to the order!"

The young man calmly put away the fan in his hand, then turned to look at Xu Taiping and said:

"I remember that Taoist Wuming set a rule when he started the competition."

As he spoke, he took out a jade and held it in his hand, and continued:

"According to this rule, all cultivators on the Tianjiao Ranking can have priority in attacking the arena after arriving here."

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping, who had been staring at the young man in confusion, suddenly became stern.

The Black Prison boy standing by also had a changed expression.

He immediately asked the young man:

"Are you a monk who is on the Heavenly Pride Ranking?"

The young man picked up the jade pendant in his hand and gently threw it to the boy.

The boy reached out and took it.

After just one glance, I saw the Black Prison boy bowing to the young man with an apologetic look on his face and saying:

"It turns out to be Lord Nangong, who is ranked 21st on the Tianjiao Ranking. I am short-sighted, I hope you can forgive me!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping was shocked and thought to himself:

"This person is not only from the Three Corpses Cave, but is also the 21st place on the Tianjiao Ranking?!"

Not only Xu Taiping, but all the monks watching the battle in the Bronze Prison were also in an uproar after hearing what the boy had just said.

They didn't expect that a genius would show up on the first day of the competition.

The Great Sage Tianshou and the Heavenly Lord Hanjian also looked surprised.

At this time, the young man on the Bronze Sparrow Tower smiled and shook his head at the boy from the Black Prison: "Sir, you are too kind."

Then he smiled and bowed to Xu Taiping and said:

"Three Corpses Cave, Baili Yezhao, please teach me, Taoist Wuming."

Upon hearing this, Hanjian Tianjun was shocked and said:

"Oh my goodness, the Three Corpses Cave has been attacked again this time!"

He continued:

"First it was Nangong Wen, and now here comes Baili Yezhao. Is this Three Corpse Cave targeting Xu Taiping's treasure or Xu Taiping himself?"

The Great Sage Tianshu also frowned and said:

"It should be the batch of items used for the competition."

In his opinion, although Xu Taiping did have some conflicts with Luo Hong and others from the Three Corpses Cave at the market before, it didn't seem to be enough to make them hold a grudge against him to this extent.

Hanjian Tianjun nodded and said:

"Since they know that you are behind Xu Taiping, they should not be so stupid as to target Xu Taiping on the Bronze Sparrow Tower."

When he said this, Hanjian Tianjun suddenly looked a little serious and said:

"However, it might be a bit difficult for Xu Taiping to face the 21st place on the Tianjiao Ranking right from the start."

The Great Sage Tianju nodded slightly and said:

"I originally thought that only the first fifty seats would come in the first few days, but I didn't expect that the 21st seat would come all of a sudden."

When he said this, his expression became a little serious.

Hanjian Tiankong laughed at himself and said:

"Before Tianjiao came, I thought this competition was boring. Now that Tianjiao is here, I feel a little nervous again."

The Great Sage Tianshu also smiled helplessly.

At this moment, the boy from the Black Prison confirmed Baili Yezhao's identity and announced loudly:

"According to the rules of this round of defending, the next monk to attack the ring will be changed from Tu Baichuan of Wolf Spider Ridge to..."

At this point, the boy paused, then raised his voice a little and continued:

"The 21st place on the Tianjiao Ranking, Sanshi Cave, Baili Yezhao!"
