Chapter 152: Friend, need a substitute?
Chapter 152 – Friend, Need a Pinch?
The more time passed, the more Zhou Xuan felt something was wrong.
How the hell is it that no one is coming to Green Bamboo Divine Peak to challenge me?
Where is the Holy Body? Where are the God Bodies? Are they all dead?
Even if he’s at the four Fruit of the Dao stage, there are always special physiques that cultivate other attributes, right? And what about the physical cultivators who specialize in the physical body?
The Peak Leader is not allowed to leave the Divine Peak, once he leaves, he is considered to have given up his position as the Peak Leader, isn’t this a rule that favors the physical cultivators?
Zhou Xuan was puzzled.
Finally, on the third day, he couldn’t help himself and bellowed, “Lin Yunwu, dead or not? If you’re not dead come over and meet me!”
He felt that something must have happened outside, causing no one to come to this Green Bamboo Divine Peak of his.
Because of the contained spiritual qi, Zhou Xuan’s voice cascaded and covered the entire small divine peak in a few breaths.
The sound was so loud that it startled many people.
It could not be helped that Zhou Xuan was the only one on the Green Bamboo Divine Peak, and voice transmission could not travel that far, and since flying swords could not be used to send letters here, communication could only rely on roaring.
Zhou Xuan gritted his teeth in his heart.
If it wasn’t for Rong Wenyi being so hated, his Heavenly Thunder wouldn’t have been exposed.
At those words, Zhou Xuan came to a sudden realization.
“Do you think that any other special physique can live under my Heavenly Thunder?” Zhou Xuan let out a cold snort, “Since it’s been exposed, there’s no need to hide it, so naturally, I want to maximize the benefits, I’ll take all of these Divine Peak’s Martial Points!”
“Letting you do your job, where’s all the nonsense.”
Once these words came out, the originally still noisy Small Divine Peak Square instantly fell into silence.
Shit.
“Isn’t it great? This way senior brother can easily take 90 million martial points.”
Is it dead?
When Lin Yunwen heard Zhou Xuan flirt, he could not help but look sad and say, “Senior brother, Lin Yunwu, he…”
That’s why the Heavenly Thunder was used as a base card.
Thinking about this, Lin Yunwu took advantage of the attention and inserted the wooden plaque made within his storage ring in the square.
And after hearing this, Lin Yunwen couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, “Senior brother, is this feasible?”
Someone couldn’t help but sneer, “I’ve seen this kind of trick a lot, when the time comes for me to go over there with my martial points, won’t I be directly eliminated by that Zhou Xuan?”
The surrounding cultivators were stunned when they saw this.
Zhou Xuan thought that he was dead, he didn’t think that he was eliminated, wasting his expression, he collected his sadness, “Where are the others?”
As long as one knew the two, Lin Yunwu and Lin Yunwen, one would think that the two were blood brothers, but according to the two, they just happened to have similar names and were not blood brothers.
Dog day Rong Wenyi.
However, Zhou Xuan, who had long since gotten used to his character, no longer spoke as he used his flying sword to chop towards a nearby tree and after making a wooden sign, he rose up in the air towards the Small Divine Peak.
Hearing Zhou Xuan’s voice, there was a person on the Small Divine Peak who hurriedly came towards the Green Bamboo Divine Peak.
Zhou Xuan stroked his chin as he looked at Lin Yunwen and directly said, “In this case, you go to the Small God Peak to find someone…”
Lin Yunwen commiserated, I’m not concerned about you, senior brother?
“That’s fine.” Zhou Xuan nodded, then he said, “What’s going on on Little God Peak right now? With so many cultivators, how come no one has come over to challenge me?”
As soon as he arrived at the Small God Peak, Lin Yunwen realized that many gazes were directed towards him.
He woke up to the fact that although no one went to the Green Bamboo Divine Peak, as long as someone went there they were bound to be noticed.
Zhou Xuan told Lin Yunwen about the method he had been thinking about for the past two days.
“No one is coming to challenge me, so won’t I have to sit here for three months?”
For fuck’s sake, for the first stage of the event, he’d stayed in Upper Pear Prefecture for over two months, and to sit here for another three months in this second stage, it was too boring, wasn’t it?
Sealed on the wooden plaque were some words as follows:
“Half a million Martial Points, selling one Green Bamboo God Peak Head.”
Zhou Xuan floated a sad expression.
“Senior Brother Zhou.”
Zhou Xuan looked up and saw a familiar looking senior brother land, without needing to recall he knew this person’s name and flirted, “Lin Yunwen, where’s your brother?”
“Lin Yunwu he was eliminated.”
“Good is good, it’s just a bit boring.”
“This, what if senior brother gets injured? Wouldn’t it be a basket case at that time?”
Numerous channels of divine sense then swept towards this wooden sign, and in an instant, these people all had odd expressions on their faces.
Uh…
Seeing everyone’s strange faces, Lin Yunwen could not care less about his inner shame as he said in a loud voice, “Everyone, I am Lin Yunwen, a disciple of the Purple Sun Holy Land, and Zhou Xuan is my senior brother and is now the head of the Green Bamboo Divine Peak, so you only need to go to the Green Bamboo Divine Peak and hand over 500,000 martial arts points to my senior brother, and after a big battle, you can defeat my senior brother and become the head of the Green Bamboo Divine Peak, and then under the rules, you can easily obtain a million martial arts points, why not? million martial arts points, why not?”
The reason why he basically didn’t use Heavenly Thunder during the Martial Election was because he was afraid that if people knew about it, they would run away when they saw him in fear.
“All eliminated as well, I’m the only one left. It’s good that everyone remembers Senior Brother’s instructions, as long as something doesn’t feel right during the melee, they immediately recite abandonment in their hearts, so no one died.”
Lin Yunwen opened his mouth with a face of adoration, “Senior brother, the matter of you grasping the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Seed was exposed, and now, although there are people who are half believing it, none of them dare to come and touch your tiger’s whiskers.”
Lin Yunwen glanced at the man and laughed:
“Just for the sake of your half a million martial points, my senior brother would abandon his credibility? Half a million martial points is a lot to some people, but with my senior brother’s strength, it’s just a drop in the bucket.”
“Furthermore, all of you might as well think about it, you all know that my senior brother masters the Heavenly Thunder, so why doesn’t my senior brother sit at the Green Bamboo Divine Peak? That would give you a million Martial Points every day, and in three months that would be ninety million Martial Points.”
“Yes, why?”
Lin Yunwen’s words also made everyone curious, which was something they couldn’t figure out.
“Allow me to sell it.” Lin Yunwen looked around, “All of you must be afraid of being killed by my senior brother in the past, but are overthinking it, this Martial Election is not only of concern to all the great Holy Lands, even Tai Hua Heaven has paid attention to my senior brother, would my senior brother be dislikable for the sake of a mere half a million Martial Points?”
These words made everyone’s hearts thump.
Indeed, if someone went over and was killed, then Zhou Xuan would only receive half a million Martial Points.
To many people, half a million Martial Points was a lot, but to some people, those half a million Martial Points were just a fart.
Although he couldn’t figure out why Zhou Xuan would do this, it was enough to know one thing, and that was that Zhou Xuan couldn’t possibly allow himself to be criticized by a thousand people just for the sake of these half a million Martial Points.
As long as one understood this point, one knew that this matter could be accomplished.
Plus, even if Zhou Xuan really did rise up and kill someone, it was entirely possible for him to silently give up and save his life.
Now it only depended on who was willing to be the first to eat the crab.
After thinking about it, one Heaven’s Path Foundation Builder directly said, “Yes, I’ll offer half a million Martial Points to buy the position of Peak Leader of the Green Bamboo Divine Peak.”
“Good!” Lin Yunwen directly put away the wooden plaque, “Follow me.”
Soon, Lin Yunwen brought this cultivator to the outside of the Green Bamboo Divine Peak, followed by a dense crowd of cultivators, obviously curious as to why this Zhou Xuan was doing this.
As for Zhou Xuan, who was waiting blearily at the Green Bamboo Divine Peak, when he saw so many people coming over, he couldn’t help but laugh, as he rushed straight up, “Senior Brother Lin, which genius cultivator with amazing guts is willing to buy the Peak Leader’s position at the Green Bamboo Divine Peak?”
“It’s me, my name is Lu Zheng.”
“So it’s Brother Lu, I knew it was you the moment I saw it, after all, with such a handsome look, a flamboyant body, and a Heaven’s Path Foundation Builder, you must be a True Successor of the Sacred Ground, and you’re the only one who has the courage to do so.”
A word said Lu Zheng arched his hand and saluted, even said that he did not dare, just that look obviously could not suppress the elation.
If an ordinary cultivator said it, it would be words of flattery.
However, when these words came out of Zhou Xuan’s mouth, it made Lu Zheng’s eyebrows rise with joy.
After all, Zhou Xuan’s enlightenment in the Literature Election was there for all to see, and he was even the first in the Literature Election.
Moreover, it was rumored that the other party had mastered the Heavenly Thunder and killed a late stage Purple Mansion who had built the foundation of the Heavenly Dao. Although there were some people who confirmed it, most of them only believed that seeing was believing, and their hearts were still half-believing it. But even if they are half believing, no one dares to come to the Green Bamboo Divine Peak as a guinea pig.
Of course, it was mainly because even if Zhou Xuan had not mastered the Heavenly Thunder, the other party’s battle power was not something that a Heavenly Dao Foundation could take on.
To be praised by such a person, even if one knew that the compliment was very watered down, one still couldn’t stop being elated.
With the word please, Zhou Xuan led this Lu Zheng into the Green Bamboo Divine Peak.
“Brother Lu knows the rules, right?” Saying so, Zhou Xuan added, “If that Small Divine Peak Mountain God comes out and says that this is not permitted, I will transfer the Martial Points back to you at that time.”
“Good.”
Lu Zheng replied, directly transferring half a million Martial Points to Zhou Xuan.
“Brother Lv is painfully quick!” After Zhou Xuan took the half a million Martial Points, he laughed, “Alright, Brother Lu cast a spell on me.”
Lu Zheng sniffed and without a second thought unleashed a fire spell towards Zhou Xuan.
When the hot flames came in front of his body, Zhou Xuan had a grave look on his face before blocking with his arm.
The next moment, under everyone’s dumbfounded eyes, Zhou Xuan was like a kite with broken strings as the entire person rose up in the air, but in a moment, he ruthlessly fell onto the Square of the Small Divine Peak.
When Lu Zheng saw this, he could not help but cry and laugh, this was too pompous.
However, when Zhou Xuan exited the Small Divine Peak, under the rules, it was ruled that Zhou Xuan had been defeated by Lu Zheng, so Lu Zheng became the Peak Leader of the Green Bamboo Divine Peak.
The new Peak Leader, however, could recuperate for a day, and at the same time receive one million Martial Points.
“Zhou Xuan is truly a believer.”
After becoming the Peak Leader, Lu Zheng sat prettily on the Green Bamboo Divine Peak, seeing a group of cultivators high in the sky looking at him with envious faces, he couldn’t help but feel pleased with himself.
Seeing Lu Zheng in that state, many people regretted it.
Half a million martial arts points for a million martial arts points, this deal is too good a deal!
It then occurred to them that the one who had done this was Zhou Xuan.
And where was Zhou Xuan? At the moment, he was at the Little God’s Peak Square.
Thinking about this, many cultivators rushed back to the Small Divine Peak Plaza, wanting to see what exactly this Zhou Xuan was going to do.
When a group of people returned, they saw Zhou Xuan looking at them with a smile on his face, and then inserted a wooden plaque on the ground, “Brothers, would you like to fight on behalf of the others?”
Substitute fight?
What did that mean?
But soon, their gazes looked towards the wooden plaque, and with a sweep of their divine sense, they once again showed odd faces.
Only to see that the wooden plaque read:
Pay half a million martial points to my senior brother, Lin Yunwen, to designate the head of a divine peak.
After I defeat the head of the peak on it, I will directly go out of the divine peak and make the divine peak a masterless peak, at which time all of you Daoists who have paid the martial arts points can directly enter and become the head of the peak.
This is a peak head substitute fight.
If I am eliminated or die, at that time my senior brother Lin Yunwen will transfer back the 500,000 martial arts points as it is, without any loss.
……
Everyone lost their words after reading this.
Not only them, even the great holy lands and Tai Hua Heaven that had been paying attention to the martial election were silent.
“Rampant, this Zhou Xuan is truly rampant!”
“Hehe, one divine Peak’s Martial Points isn’t enough, how dare he want to pocket all the divine Peaks’ Martial Points? It’s really too conceited.”
“It’s not conceit, it’s confidence! After all, he is in control of the Heavenly Thunder.”
And the Violet Sun Sacred Lord’s heart thumped, even though Zhou Xuan had mastered the Heavenly Thunder, to do so was walking a tightrope.
Of course, as long as it came to fruition, it would definitely be able to obtain a large amount of Martial Points.
“This Zhou Xuan, is truly ridiculous!”
The emperor’s close associate who was in charge of the martial election matters had a face of tears and laughter, “This Peak Leader Competition, where one can rest and recuperate for a day as long as they win, is meant to protect those cultivators who did their best to take the Peak Leader position, so that they would have at least a million Martial Points coming in, and wouldn’t be losing the battle, and it turns out that this Zhou Xuan even misinterpreted the rules to be like this!”
However, after he finished speaking, he heard the Emperor smile pleasantly, and when the crowd heard this, they couldn’t help but feel a shock in their hearts, how long had it been since they had seen the Emperor so happy?
“Zhou Xuan this brat is interesting.” The Emperor finished laughing, “But this is also a reflection of his extreme confidence in his own strength.”
Indeed, if one was not confident in their own strength, such an idea would not have popped into their head.
It was just that there was a fear of a single mistake.
Under the expectant gazes of countless people, Zhou Xuan swept a glance at everyone and did not speak.
That Lu Zheng just now was the person who was his tool to migrate the wood and establish faith.
He knew that everyone present was smart, and someone would soon figure it out.
Sure enough, in just ten breaths of time, a person stepped out from the crowd, “Zhou Xuan, as long as you eliminate Leng Wuyi from the Dragon Porcupine Divine Peak, I’ll give you these half a million Martial Points with both hands.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan frowned, “You seem to have gotten something wrong, half a million Martial Points in exchange for a million Martial Points is in itself an advantage for you guys, and you’re asking me for another request?”
If Leng Emotionless was eliminated, how long would it take for him to draw the other party’s essence blood?
Of course, at that time, if Leng Emotionless was too strong, he definitely wouldn’t stay his hand and directly eliminate the other party.
“I’m sorry, I was the one who went overboard, as long as Leng Emotionless isn’t the peak leader of the Dragon Porcupine Divine Peak.” Upon hearing this, this person also felt that he was indeed the one who had taken advantage of the situation, so he couldn’t help but smile and hurriedly bowed to apologize.
“Alright, hand over the martial points and go.”
Soon, Lin Yunwen received half a million martial points from this person.
And seeing this, Zhou Xuan signaled to lead the way.
Soon, a group of cultivators on the Small Divine Peak followed suit, and it was clear that many wanted to see whether Zhou Xuan could truly become the Peak Head Generation Fighter or not.
While some Saint Bodies and God Bodies hung far behind, a group of people with complex expressions.
“This Zhou Xuan is really daring to think.”
“Wouldn’t this be a way to stir up public anger?”
“If the Holy Land’s intelligence is true, this Leng Wu Xie must be a God Body, this Zhou Xuan won’t be hitting the iron plate.”
“I think it’s Leng Wuxing who’s going to hit the iron plate, because the other party cultivates the Fire Law.”
At those words, the crowd fell silent.
And soon enough, Zhou Xuan was brought to the Long Bo Divine Peak.
As soon as they arrived at the Dragon Porch Divine Peak, the crowd saw that at this moment, the Dragon Porch Divine Peak was ablaze with fire, a phoenix sound rang out, and soon, the five Heaven’s Path Foundation Establishment that were challenging Leng Emotionless were dead, and those that were eliminated were eliminated.
When the fire reflecting the sky dissipated, Leng WuXi was affected by something, he looked up and looked at the black pressurized group of people, thinking that they were ordinary cultivators joining together.
After all, there was no limit to the number of ordinary cultivators challenging the peak leader.
However, Leng WuXi’s gaze quickly condensed as he saw Zhou Xuan from amongst the group.
When he had been killed by the other party at random during the Cultural Election, that suffocating emotion was still fresh in his mind, at this moment, Zhou Xuan had come over, could it be that he wanted to challenge him?
Indeed, Zhou Xuan’s four attribute Dao Intentions of Lightning, Fire, Water, and Gold had entered the Dao Fruit stage, while he practiced the Fire Technique, which was being restrained.
However, in addition to his arts, he was also a physical cultivator due to his Immortal Phoenix Body.
This was unknown to everyone except the Northern Dipper Holy Land.
Thinking about this, Leng Wuyi could not help but laugh coldly, “Zhou Xuan, according to the Holy Land’s intelligence, you should be a Heaven’s Path Foundation Establishment, what are you doing bringing so many people here?”
It was the rule that a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator could only have a maximum of five joint challenges.
“To deal with you, one of me is enough.”
“Ridiculous!” Leng Wuxing narrowed his eyes, “It’s indeed heaven-defying for you to win first place in the literature election, but for you to think that immunity to the fire method will be enough to restrain me is a fantasy.”
