At this moment, Li Chen's eyes faintly glanced at the time not far away. Less than a quarter of an hour had passed since the end of the competition, and looking back at Gongsun Jian's head, it had actually turned into two hundred and seventy heads!
Fifty more than before!
This guy!
Li Chen was helpless, he had no choice but to end the battle quickly, his hands were wrapped with the black spiritual strength, he then moved forward quickly and directly struck out with his palm, sending the man in front of him out of the training grounds.
The number behind Li Chen's name jumped a few times, and quickly ranked at the top, surpassing Gongsun Jian.
At this point, the competition was already coming to an end. Many people wanted to take advantage of the last minute opportunity to challenge someone and perhaps enter the top three. However, when they looked at the ranks on the rankings, they could see just how strong that person was.
Li Chen looked at Gongsun Jian, he was actually still competing, and on his own side, no one dared to challenge him.
"Bam!"
Gongsun Jian's gaze tightened and landed on the jade screen. Gongsun Jian's name jumped a few times, and unexpectedly, he appeared in front of Li Chen!
"Whooosh."
Li Chen was thinking about how he lost his bet with Gongsun Jian, when he suddenly heard an uproar, and couldn't help but look over.
Not far away, a youth in armor was standing on the stage with a proud expression. Not far away from him, a violet-clothed youth was lying on the ground, blood flowing from his mouth.
Li Chen was a little shocked.
Just then, Jin Zhong's voice sounded out, hinting that the training grounds should be full of people, causing Li Chen's gaze to fall on the jade.
An unfamiliar name leapt up and became the current first.
"Du Yunfei." Li Chen muttered this name.
Li Chen's gaze fell upon the armored face that was not far away. His face was covered by a golden mask, and it was impossible to see his face clearly. He could only faintly feel that the other party should be a young person.
As if he had sensed something, the man turned his head slightly, and looked straight into Li Chen's eyes.
In that instant, Li Chen felt a special feeling in his heart. He felt that it was very strange, but just as he wanted to carefully look at the young man again, he already turned around and left the stage.
Currently, the one with the highest ranking was Du Yunfei. Behind him, there were 340 heads.
Then came Gongsun Jian, 339 of them.
The third was Li Chen, two hundred eighty-five.
It was obvious that the competition for first place would start from them, but Li Chen still looked in the direction of Du Yunfei, this person had always been not far behind them, he never thought that he would actually make such a move at the very end.
At this time, Gongsun Jian walked to Li Chen's side, his face seemingly filled with worry.
"What's wrong? Brother Gongsun, what are you doing with a bitter face even if you win? " Li Chen laughed and teased.
Gongsun Jian seemed to be very absent-minded, and did not have any other expression because of Li Chen's teasing. He waved his hand: "Brother Li Chen, don't tease me."
If it was any other time, Gongsun Jian would have made fun of Li Chen by inviting him to dinner, but today seemed to be rather abnormal.
Li Chen's gaze landed on Du Yunfei's back. Could it be because of Du Yunfei?
"Go!" Brother Gongsun! I'll treat you to a meal! "
Li Chen patted Gongsun Jian's shoulder and laughed.
Although Gongsun Jian had something on his mind, he was not at a point where he couldn't stomach it, and so he followed Li Chen out to eat.
"Brother Gongsun seems to have something on his mind? Why don't you tell me about it? "Although I'm not as knowledgeable as Brother Gongsun, I might be able to help Brother Gongsun out a bit."
Li Chen had already said so, if he were to continue hiding it from him, he would not treat Li Chen as a friend anymore. Gongsun Jian thought for a moment, then cupped his hands towards Li Chen and said: "Actually it's not a big deal.
Li Chen shook his head. Everyone here were people from all over the world, and he knew very little about them. He really did not know the background of this Du Yunfei.
The place they were in was a private room, but Gongsun Jian still looked around a little worriedly: "I told Brother Li Chen before, that I am from Hide Venerable Family, but there are actually different levels of people in Hide Venerable Family."
Li Chen raised his eyebrows, to him, these Hide Venerable Family were actually just looking for something to do. Although the name was Hide Venerable Family, and it was just a pretense to talk about matters of the world, to the point that it seemed like they were talking about how otherworldly he was, but in reality, many Hide Venerable Family would still bring up some strength in the mortal world.
From what Li Chen knew, Wan Tongtian had hooked up with the Hide Venerable Family in order to keep his position as an emperor.
However, although he did not take the Hide Venerable Family seriously, Li Chen would not say it in front of Gongsun Jian.
"Like my Gongsun family, we aren't afraid of Brother Li Chen making fun of us. We're just ordinary third-rate Hide Venerable Family.
As he said till here, even Gongsun Jian himself could not help but laugh sarcastically, and then said: "Look at me, even the topic is turned around!"
Li Chen walked to the side and gave Gongsun Jian some tea as he said, "If Brother Gongsun is only a third-rate family, then what about Du Yunfei?"
"The Du Family is considered a first-rate family in the Hide Venerable Family ?" Gongsun Jian frowned, drank a bit of tea to moisten his throat, and said: "I believe Brother Li Chen is also aware that there's a special reward for this competition."
Li Chen nodded his head: "I know it's a copy of the Polar Ares-class's Green Hellish Sword."
This incident caused a burst of surprising enthusiasm in the crowd at the start. It was a matter that everyone knew.
Gongsun Jian laughed bitterly: "I once heard from my family that the Qingming Sword is in the Du Family!"
Li Chen was now truly shocked, and could not understand why Du Yunfei would still come if the Qingming Sword was already a treasure of the Du Family.
"What I don't understand the most is that they, a group of people from first-rate aristocratic families, have all started to flee into the secular world ?" Gongsun Jian muttered.
Li Chen actually wanted to ask those commoners how much power they had, why Gongsun Jian was so afraid. No matter what, he was still a third-rate Hide Venerable Family.
But in the end, Li Chen did not ask, as these things were not of much interest to him, and he would not stay here for long. Once the competition was over, he would go somewhere else to train, and if he stayed in one place for a long time, he would encounter a bottleneck.
Gongsun Jian seemed to be at a loss. He muttered: "Why do you think Du Yunfei suddenly appeared here? I originally thought that he was just curious and wanted to gain some experience, but who would have thought that he would want to fight for the top spot now? For a replica of the Green Hellish Sword? For someone who has even seen real ones, why would he hold onto a handful of copies? " Gongsun Jian asked blankly.
Li Chen poured another cup of tea for Gongsun Jian to comfort him: "Brother Gongsun, no need to think too much. He did not reveal his true identity, we are only competing against him in the tournament the day after tomorrow. Gongsun Jian was comforted, but he was not at ease in his heart: "No, no, I think it's better if I quit the competition the day after tomorrow! "I am the heir to the clan, and do not seek to bring the clan too much honor. However, I cannot bring disaster upon the clan ?"
The two talked for a while before Gongsun Jian suddenly spoke: "Eh? "Why haven't our dishes arrived yet?"
At this moment, it had been more than two hours since they had entered. Let alone those big dishes, even the cold vegetables should be served to them so that they could fill their stomachs first, right?
The two of them felt that it was a little strange. Gongsun Jian made a decision in his heart, thus he relaxed a lot. Seeing that no one had delivered food in such a long time, he called for the waiter to ask about it.
They were in a private room. Generally speaking, there would be female attendants guarding the outside. As long as they were instructed to enter, people would come in.
At this moment, the elegant maid's face was filled with bewilderment, "The business here today is too good ?" "So it might be a little slow ?"
Gongsun Jian and Li Chen were both startled. What business is this? This wasn't an excuse at all. Furthermore, they had ordered some good wine and dishes, and had even spent a large amount of money to choose a room.
Just then, a waiter ran over and said, "I'm sorry masters, the shop is really too busy today! Please wait for a moment. "
Li Chen and Gongsun Jian looked at each other, and in the end, Li Chen said: "Fine, let's wait a little longer then!"
They were here to eat, not to cause trouble. Since the waiter had already said so, they had no choice but to wait.
After the servant and the waiter left, Gongsun Jian frowned: "Why do I feel that these people are strange?"
Not to mention Gongsun Jian, even Li Chen had the same feeling. Thinking back to the last time they came, the waiter's attitude was extremely good, and looking at it again, it was obvious that he was a little perfunctory. Although he still had a smile on his face, but he could clearly distinguish that kind of pretense to please them.
"Wait a little longer. If you still don't serve the dishes, we'll go find the owner!"
However, this time, they truly didn't have to wait for too long. Very quickly, someone brought up delicate dishes to them.
The restaurant that Li Chen and the others came to was called Delicious Restaurant, and it was famous for being delicious.
It was said that even Wan Tongtian was full of praise after he came here.
"That's more like it! Wouldn't it be the end if we served earlier! " Gongsun Jian said as he reached out to grab a steamed bun to eat.
For some reason, Li Chen felt that today was a little strange. He reached out his chopsticks to stop Gongsun Jian, signalling him to be quiet and pay attention to the situation outside.
At least the two of them were from the high order Martial Sect, their telepathic thoughts were above average, and now that Li Chen indicated for him to listen to what was being said outside, Gongsun Jian immediately understood what was going on.
The sound outside was very soft, as if afraid that someone would eavesdrop, but Li Chen still heard some words of "wait for them to sleep" or "wait for orders from above" from time to time.
Someone was trying to harm them?
The two of them looked at each other in shock. They could see the same message in each other's eyes ?
