Li Chaoji was really mad. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. He really wanted to rush up and tear Xia Chen into pieces.
Xia Chen looked at him with a smile on his face, an expression that could make a person angry, but there was no smile in his eyes.
If the man surnamed Li really dares to take action, then just let him do it. Anyway, the Tianlan Sect wants to sacrifice him alive, so what's the point of being polite? If it weren't for the worry about the sect-protecting formation, Xia Chen couldn't help but do it.
A mass killing spree.
"Senior Brother Li, no." Chen Tianjing shook his head, stepped forward to stop him, and whispered in his ear, "The overall situation is more important. You will be happy in a few days anyway, so why bother to be impulsive."
Li Chaoji's hair was disheveled and his face was ferocious. He didn't say a word for a while. Although he knew that Xia Chen would definitely die, and that he would die miserably, but he didn't want to take revenge, so how could he be willing to accept it?
Xia Chen seemed to have seen what he was thinking, and suddenly said meaningfully: "It seems that Senior Brother Li has a deep hatred for me. Since you are very confident in your potential, but also unwilling to do so, why don't we take a gamble too."
Li Chaoji's eyes immediately widened and he said loudly: "Are you telling the truth? Do you dare to bet with me?"
"Haha." Xia Chen smiled slightly, "Of course it's true. If I don't give you this chance, how can you turn around?"
This sentence was actually very obvious, but Li Chaoji just didn't hear the implication and shouted without thinking: "Okay, I'll bet you, you must not regret it."
Xia Chen smiled slightly again: "I wonder what Senior Brother Li wants to bet on?"
Li Chaoji looked at him with resentful eyes and said harshly: "I don't think a slap in the face is exciting. Let's do something harsh. Whoever loses will have one of his hands cut off."
Everyone's expressions changed.
The first level of magical power is only at the innate level, and you cannot restore a broken limb. If you lose, you will become disabled.
Xia Chen's expression did not change at all: "Okay, this bet is exciting, as you said... But I am worried that if Senior Brother Li loses, who will jump out and say that I owe the palm first, and I am in your sect.
We are weak alone and cannot reason with each other, so what can we do?"
Li Chaoji gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I made a vow to God that if I violate the bet, my cultivation will regress to the acquired realm and never advance. Don't worry."
He was also mad, and before Xia Chen could answer, he swore a demonic oath to the sky.
Everyone looked ugly, thinking to themselves, Xia Chen didn't agree to it, so why did you swear? What if there is something fishy about this kid?
However, Li Chaoji had huge potential and was the best among the monks present, even among the first-level magical monks within the sect. Therefore, after seeing that Xia Chen only lit up seven beacons, no one was too worried.
Chen Tianjing came over and said hypocritically: "Elder Xia, Senior Brother Li was just angry for a moment, but his potential is indeed very high. In fact, you are not as good as him. Just now you defeated Junior Brother Feng, but it was just an ordinary Dzogchen. Although the released aura is strong and weak,
Different situations, and even changes in mood can trigger changes in potential, but the change is only a small part, and it is impossible to exceed too much, so you have to act within your ability."
What he said was completely true, but the language used to contradict each other was irritating.
Xia Chen looked at him and smiled: "Brother Chen means that I won't bet. Well, then I won't bet. That Senior Brother Li, don't take what I said just now seriously..."
Li Chaoji's face suddenly turned green.
Chen Tianjing's face turned green. He wanted to add fuel to the bet between the two of them, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect. He hurriedly said: "I didn't say I won't let you bet, I just reminded you that Senior Brother Li has sworn the evil spirit in his heart."
How can you not bet if it’s down?”
Xia Chen laughed: "I was just joking, why should Brother Chen mind."
Chen Tianjing's face became even more ugly, knowing that he had been squeezed out by Xia Chen again, he gritted his teeth with hatred, thinking that he wanted to make you arrogant, and he should have seen your sorrow when he sacrificed you alive...
"I, Xia Chen, swear to God..."
Xia Chen calmly uttered the inner demon's poisonous oath, and then spread his hands to Li Chaoji: "Senior Brother Li, please go first."
Li Chaoji had been waiting impatiently for a long time. He glanced at Xia Chen with a sneer and then strode away towards the beacon tower.
Everyone followed him up the stage, but did not notice that on the other side of the beacon tower, two more Tianlan Sect monks appeared at some unknown time.
A young monk has bright eyebrows and a calm expression. He is tall and thin, and his temperament is extremely elegant, making him look extremely outstanding.
Li Chaoji is also handsome, but compared with him, he is much inferior.
Next to this young monk is a slightly shorter young monk. Although he looks quite impressive, he is obviously much inferior to the young man next to him.
"Junior brother Tian, how many beacons do you think Li Chaoji can light up in this test of his potential?" The young monk looked at the beacon tower intently and said lightly.
The monk surnamed Tian pondered for a moment and said: "I remember the last time Junior Brother Li went to the beacon tower, it seemed that eighteen beacon fires were burning. He is considered to be an outstanding mid-to-upper level. Now that it has been so long, his potential should have increased. It is estimated that he will reach
There are around 19th and 20th regiments, what does Senior Brother Liu think?"
"Nineteen to twenty beacon fires, you praise him too much." The monk surnamed Liu looked half-smiling, "In his current state, he can't exceed sixteen beacon fires at most."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chaoji, who was standing on the stage, had already released his aura, and the seven beacon fires on the east side of the beacon tower burned out of thin air almost instantly.
All the disciples immediately cheered. With just this move, Li Chaoji had the same potential as Xia Chen had tested before, and was in an invincible position.
But this was obviously far from Li Chaoji's limit. As his aura became stronger and stronger, the west side of the beacon tower also began to bloom with clusters of beacon fires. Although not as fast as the east side, they were still continuous.
In the blink of an eye, the seven beacon fires on the west side were all lit up.
The disciples cheered again, and many of them looked envious. Although they all knew that Li Chaoji had great potential, his ability to effortlessly transcend the two levels of ordinary and good was enough to represent Li Chaoji's future cultivation path.
further than most of them.
As the beacons on both sides of the east and west sides were fully lit, Li Chaoji's spirit became concentrated, his mouth was pursed tightly, and his breath formed a powerful aura around his body, releasing one cyclone after another.
The beacon fire on the south side of the beacon tower began to light up, but the speed suddenly became much slower. The first beacon fire weakly bloomed into a ball of sparks, and then disappeared.
Everyone was surprised. They had all seen Li Chaoji measuring his potential before. Although he had not broken through to the level of genius, he at least had the strength to set off a fire for ten years. Why was he so unlucky today?
Li Chaoji's face turned pale. He had released too much breath in front of him, and now he felt unsustainable. He ate and slumped for a long time, and the flames burned and extinguished, and finally stabilized.
He was also quite anxious in his heart. He didn't understand why after practicing for a long time, his measured potential was not as good as it was a few months ago.
It was so laborious to burn the first beacon fire, but it was naturally even more difficult for the second beacon fire. Li Chaoji almost tried his best, releasing his breath to the point of pretending to be someone else, and then he successfully lit it.
He did not dare to try to light the third beacon, but adjusted his breath for a moment before getting down from the beacon. If the limit was exceeded, not only would his cultivation be damaged, but his potential would also be greatly reduced.
Everyone looked slightly surprised. This didn't seem to be Li Chaoji's true potential. Why had it shrunk? But after thinking about it, they thought that Li Chaoji was making a bet with Xia Chen, so he didn't use his full strength. It was natural.
.
"Sure enough, there are only sixteen beacon fires. Senior brother's eyes are like a torch. Junior brother admires me. I don't know how senior brother can see it?" The monk surnamed Tian said with shock on his face.
The monk surnamed Liu smiled faintly: "What's so difficult about this? Li Chaoji was insulted by Xia before the bet, and he had already lost his mood. He wanted to win again, and released his breath too fiercely. He would naturally be unable to continue in the later period, so he went to the beacon fire.
The most important thing in Taiwan is to avoid being impatient. He has taken both of them, and his potential has naturally declined. I'm afraid this will be a big blow to him."
"So that's it. Senior Brother's observation of every detail is really brilliant." The monk surnamed Tian was deeply impressed, and then changed the topic, "But no matter what, Junior Brother Li also has great potential. The monk named Xia did not underestimate his ability and bet against him.
I’m afraid I’ll have to pay the price of a palm.”
"There are clowns everywhere." The monk surnamed Liu said calmly, "They are just pawns who are here to die. They are not worthy of being taken seriously at all. Li Chaoji and the others can't even take down such pawns, which would bring shame on our Tianlan Sect.
.”
"Senior Brother Liu, you haven't been on the beacon tower for at least two years." The monk surnamed Tian observed the words and smiled, "Now there are many rising stars among the first-level disciples of magical powers, and they are all very high-spirited. I think senior brother should show off.
Shocked by your genius-level potential, these disciples still don’t know what the sky is and how high it is.”
The monk surnamed Liu smiled slightly, his expression was quite useful, but he shook his head and said proudly: "Let me, Liu Xuanyang, go to the beacon tower to see if there are any opponents worthy of me. Are these ugly and rotten opponents worth intimidating? Just look at the excitement.
It’s, alas, lonely.”
"That's, that's..." The monk surnamed Tian changed the topic very quickly, "Among the first-level disciples of our generation, how can anyone be compared with Senior Brother Liu? Senior brother is a genius with the potential to approach the Great Perfection. He is a first-level disciple of the magical power.
The target can only be Uncle Fang, who has surpassed the Great Perfection of Genius."
"Haha, Junior Brother Tian, please stop complimenting me. How can I be compared with Master Uncle Fang?" Liu Xuanyang said happily, "Although Master Uncle Fang is a second-level supernatural power, he is a disciple of our generation and is about the same age. I
If I want to catch up with him, I’m afraid I’ll have to work hard for many years.”
Although he spoke modestly, he obviously believed that if he worked hard, he could still catch up with the amazing and talented "Uncle Fang".
The monk surnamed Tian naturally gave another round of vain compliments.
"It's your turn, go up. I'll cut off your palms with my own hands when you turn around, and then step on them under my feet." Li Chaoji's potential was just like a test, his mentality was decadent, he simply vented all his troubles and hatred, and he seemed to have won.
Same as Xia Chen.
Everyone looked at Xia Chen with evil eyes. The potential that Xia Chen measured just now was only ordinary Dzogchen, but Li Chaoji had reached the Excellent Elementary level, which was a whole level away. Even if Xia Chen didn't use all his strength last time,
It's impossible to make up for it.
Everyone felt particularly happy when they thought that the insults Xia Chen had brought to them would be repaid immediately.
