Chapter 242 The Prestige of the Demon Sect's Junior Master
The outer sect competition can actually be understood as a...sports meet in the school?
Before the sports meeting, school leaders usually have to go on stage to give a speech, and before their long speeches, they always add a sentence: "I will just say a few words."
This is a necessary process, and the Demon Sect also needs to do this, but Shen Yan usually just talks about it casually and doesn't say too much.
One reason is that the Demon Sect has this style, and the other reason is that they are uneducated and find it troublesome.
Mao Nanbei sat next to Lu Xun. His short legs couldn't reach the ground. He swayed in the air for a few times and complained, "It's the same few sentences every time, just slightly changing a few words."
Lu Xun: “…”
While going through the process, Mao Nanbei looked at Lu Xun and said softly, "Junior brother, how about I make a bet with you?"
“Oh? Fourth Senior Sister, do you know that when our Demon Sect opens a gambling game, we have to hand over 500 spirit stones?” Lu Xun said with a smile.
"Tsk! I don't lack spirit stones!" Mao Nanbei shook the small bell on his wrist and said.
She really had plenty of money. When she had spent all the money, she could ask her third senior brother for more. He would always give it to her readily and each time he would give her more than the last.
She is just a kid over a hundred years old. Isn't it normal for her to ask for some pocket money?
“Then Fourth Senior Sister, please pay my share as well.” Lu Xun suggested.
Mao Nanbei: “…”
"Pay it if you want! It's up to you whether you gamble or not!" She said, kicking her feet in the air.
“Okay then, Fourth Senior Sister, tell us first, what are we betting on?” Lu Xun said with a smile.
Mao Nanbei blinked at him and said, "Junior brother, do you think there will be challengers who break the rules and threaten to challenge you in this outer sect competition?"
Hearing this, Lu Xun smiled again and said, "I bet - yes!"
"Eh!?" Maonanbei's pair of cat ears stood straight up.
She said shamelessly, "No! I'm betting there will be one, you change one!"
"Then I bet... there will be quite a few?" Lu Xun teased her.
"Oh my!" Mao Nanbei was so angry that he kicked his feet in the air again and said, "No! You won't get it if you bet!"
“Okay, okay, then I’ll bet that there won’t be any. The bet is this month’s dessert. How about that?” Lu Xun treated it as playing a game with his cat-eared loli.
As long as the kitty is happy.
"Okay! It's a deal!" Mao Nanbei stretched out her little fist, and Lu Xun raised his fist and gently touched it with hers.
Lin Chan was watching with a smile on her face. In her opinion, her master was just trying his best to cooperate with Fourth Uncle and entertain the child.
But then again, Lu Xun had already prepared himself mentally for someone to break the rules and threaten to challenge him.
He thought it was normal for this to happen.
He and the group of disciples participating in the outer sect competition originally belonged to the same group. In the cultivation world, those within five years were considered to be in the same group.
It's just that his identity is special and he is not counted among the outer disciples.
The challengers are roughly divided into two groups.
One group comes to seek advice, hoping to improve through discussion; these are the communication group.
A group of people are here to gain fame, hoping to make themselves famous through the magic sect. This group is the traffic-grabbing group.
Among these two groups, the braver ones would definitely prefer Lu Xun the most.
The former wants advice, while the latter wants to catch some attention.
Think about it, many years later, when Lu Xun becomes a giant in the cultivation world, they can brag to others: "Back then, I also took a few of his moves."
It sounds a bit weird.
Of course, challenging Lu Xun is definitely against the rules.
Lu Xun has a special identity, and he cannot be challenged by anyone. Then where is the face of the Demon Sect?
It’s like you can’t just come and say he wants to compete with the Olympic champion, and then the Olympic champion has to step down, right?
Therefore, whether to take action or not actually depends entirely on Lu Xun's mood.
Moreover, from the perspective of prestige, unless the opponent is qualified, such as Ye Sui'an or Xiao Ran, Lu Xun's actions will seem cheap.
…
…
The "live broadcast" on the forum is in full swing. The silly players who have not seen the world yet are very excited and are particularly happy to watch the video.
“I really want to participate in this kind of activity!”
"Me too!"
“I really want to meet these big guys!”
"Me too!"
"It's like getting up close and personal with the Purple Palace!"
"Me too!"
Judging from the process of the competition, although the seven major sects all welcome any newcomers to challenge them, the procedures they follow are slightly different.
The four major sects usually have their own disciples compete first, and after the competition, the challenger will come on stage.
The three major demon sects would first defeat the challengers and then compete among themselves.
Therefore, the first stage of the outer sect competition is for the challenger to come on first.
The Demon Sect is famous, and its disciples seem to be difficult to deal with, so there are never many challengers.
Look at the Demon Sect leader Shen Yan, who has a murderous face. Even though he was smiling, he said with his screaming chicken-like voice: "It's okay, it's okay!"
To the listener, it would sound like he is saying, "You are dead!"
Based on the experience of previous outer sect competitions, it is estimated that only a few dozen people will come to challenge.
But this time it seems a bit more, several times more.
Lu Xun looked around the crowd of challengers, searching for Ye Sui'an.
He searched for a long time but didn't see Ye Sui'an.
“That’s strange. He really didn’t come to the Demon Sect this time?” Lu Xun was actually a little uncomfortable.
It feels like the little puppy that usually hangs around me suddenly disappears.
Logically speaking, Ye Sui'an would not miss any opportunity to meet Senior Lu.
This suddenly reminded him of a passage he had seen in a forum:
“You don’t understand the joy of us lickers! People who are licked cannot predict whether they will be licked again, and they will feel insecure.
Once you lose it, you will collapse!
As bootlickers, isn’t it up to us to decide whether to lick or not?
The bones are cheap today, so I lick them.
Tomorrow the bones will be healed and I will stop licking them.
Very in control!"
When Lu Xun first saw these words, he actually saw some twisted logic in them.
Ye Sui'an's absence was just a small episode today. As one of the protagonists of the world, he should not be so idle. He always has to practice, retreat, and meditate... It is normal for him not to come. Lu Xun said he could understand.
After all the challengers come on stage, they can choose the outer disciples of the Demon Sect they want to challenge. According to the rules, the outer disciples of the Demon Sect cannot refuse.
There are a total of twenty arenas open today on the Yanwu Peak. With so many people, it is impossible for them to come in pairs. How long will it take to finish the fight?
Anyway, they are all practitioners, and using twenty things with one mind is just a basic operation. It can be understood that they can easily watch dozens of short films in one breath using their spiritual consciousness.
Sitting on the high platform, Lu Xun could feel several gazes directed at him.
As he expected, among the twenty arenas, at least ten extras who were too lazy to come up with names spoke out loudly:
"I am XXX, and I dare to challenge the Demon Sect's Lu Xun!"
Fortunately, everyone shouted together. Otherwise, if one person took the lead and a bunch of people followed by shouting something like "Me too", it would be funny.
The eyes of all the Demon Sect players immediately lit up, and they waited for Lu Xun's reaction with the mentality of a spectator.
To their surprise, the next moment after these people finished shouting, countless people at the scene responded.
More than half of the outer disciples spoke as if instinctively. They spoke in unison, their voices coming together and resounding through the sky:
"presumptuous!!!"
In their eyes, this was a great disrespect to their junior uncle-master!
Just you guys...
——Are you worthy?
A group of Demon Sect disciples kept a close eye on these rude people. If they met them during the competition, they would definitely attack them more severely.
This doesn't even have anything to do with Lu Xun's identity. Now many outer disciples respect him as a person, not just his identity.
Among the outer disciples standing closer to the arena, no one knew who took the lead and took a step forward.
The next moment, a large number of outer disciples followed suit and took a step forward!
Lu Xun just sat on the high platform without saying anything, overlooking everything in front of him.
This is the prestige of the Demon Sect's Junior Uncle Master in the sect.
