Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation

Chapter 732: Chapter 377: Heavenly Pride, Rift_2

Zhen Chen was the foremost figure in the Tai Yuan vein, just below the celestials listed on the Mountain River List.

While Ximen Luo wasn’t quite at Zhen Chen’s level, he was also one of the individuals closest to the celestials of the Mountain River List.

Tan Jinglan said with a gentle smile, “You always aim high, actually considering people like Zhen Chen as your benchmarks.”

By his side, Fang Dazhi quickly added, “Junior Brother Liu joined the Entry Level later, otherwise he would have already ascended the Mountain River List. People like Zhen Chen and Ximen Luo are just relying on having cultivated for a longer period of time. I believe, in not too many days, Junior Brother Liu will surpass people like Zhen Chen, climb atop the Mountain River List, and might even become Tai Yuan’s ninth great prodigy after Wu Yuanbai and Chu Jungui.”

Liu Yeqing laughed humbly, “Haha, Elder Brother Fang is joking. I don’t hold much hope for becoming Tai Yuan’s ninth prodigy. I would be content to make it onto the Mountain River List before becoming an Elite Disciple.”

Although he said this, Liu Yeqing thought to himself that Fang Dazhi had some insight, and he might be able to rope him in in the future.

At that moment, a dusky-faced young man in brocade clothes hurried over.

“Liu… Elder Brother Liu, the… the…”

Liu Yeqing’s brow furrowed slightly as he glanced indifferently at the man, a flicker of displeasure in his eyes.

However, to maintain his humble and gentle demeanor in front of others, he forcefully suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said with a light laugh, “Junior Brother Chen Zong, don’t rush; tell me what’s the matter slowly.”

The brocade-clad young man, who was Chen Zong, took a deep breath and said heavily, “Elder Brother Liu, Steward Huang from Countless Treasure Tower has chosen the investor.”

“Oh, Steward Huang has finally made up his mind?” Liu Yeqing responded with a faint smile, glancing at Fang Dazhi and Tan Jinglan by his side before saying nonchalantly, “Whom did Steward Huang pick?”

Before Chen Zong could speak, Fang Dazhi laughed and said, “Haha, it must be you, Junior Brother Liu. Everyone knows you are the most talented among all of Steward Huang’s candidates.”

Hearing this, Liu Yeqing’s eyes flashed with a self-assured smile as if he strongly agreed with Fang Dazhi’s words.

However, he couldn’t let his humility seem tainted, so he shook his head slightly and said with a smile, “Steward Huang has many candidates, among whom there are Celestial Humans in the tenth layer, and even those on the Mountain River List. Compared to others, I am at many disadvantages.”

“Ah… Ah, Junior Brother Liu, you’re too modest!” Fang Dazhi shook his head with a bitter smile.

Seeing Liu Yeqing’s display of humility, Tan Jinglan nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with even more admiration and reverence.

Liu Yeqing and Fang Dazhi went back and forth, while Chen Zong, standing to the side, had a different expression and for a moment did not know how to begin.

Struggling internally for quite some time, when Liu Yeqing turned his gaze to him, Chen Zong’s expression became serious.

From Liu Yeqing’s eyes, he felt a strong anticipation and confidence.

“How will Elder Brother Liu react if he finds out that Steward Huang’s chosen investor is not him? With his pride and confidence, he will surely be greatly shocked!”

Having spent much time with Liu Yeqing, Chen Zong knew that beneath his humble exterior lay extreme pride and confidence.

As a heavenly prodigy, and especially as one of the outstanding Official Disciples of the Green Flame Palace, being proud and confident was natural and didn’t affect his allegiance to him.

After much contemplation, Chen Zong ultimately chose to be honest.

After all, the matter had been decided, and it would come to light sooner or later. Moreover, he didn’t have any other choice, especially since the three were all looking expectantly at him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Elder Brother Liu, Steward Huang has chosen Lu Yun!” Chen Zong said softly.

“I was saying, Steward Huang, he would definitely choose Liu…”

Realizing something, Fang Dazhi’s voice halted, and he awkwardly looked at Chen Zong, “Junior Brother Chen Zong, who did you just say Steward Huang chose?”

“Lu Yun!” Chen Zong replied succinctly, glancing over at Liu Yeqing.

At this, Liu Yeqing could no longer maintain his humble smile. His hands involuntarily clenched into fists, and his face gradually darkened.

At this time, Fang Dazhi fell silent, and Tan Jinglan also kept quiet.

As Official Disciples of the Green Flame Palace, they understood what the investment slot from Steward of Countless Treasure Tower represented.

Previously, although it was unspoken, everyone tacitly assumed that Steward Huang of Countless Treasure Tower would choose Liu Yeqing.

It was because Liu Yeqing had the most outstanding potential and talent among Steward Huang’s candidates.

That was precisely why Fang Dazhi had so confidently endorsed Liu Yeqing before.

But unexpectedly…

In an instant, the room fell into an awkward silence, with Chen Zong sensing the increasingly palpable air of embarrassment.

“Haha, I said it, with so many heavenly prodigies among the Official Disciples of the Green Flame Palace, it’s normal for Steward Huang not to choose me,” Liu Yeqing said with a light laugh, breaking the previous silence.

Fang Dazhi’s face was still somewhat embarrassed as he said with a forced smile, “Junior Brother Liu, Huang Feng… not choosing you, he will surely regret it in the future.”

Tan Jinglan also said comfortingly, “Junior Brother Liu, Countless Treasure Tower doesn’t have just Steward Huang with a slot, Steward Xu has yet to formally decide on an investor either.”

Liu Yeqing shook his head slightly, forcing a smile, “I’m not very concerned about Steward of Countless Treasure Tower’s investment slot; it’s no big deal if I don’t get it.”

As he said this, he paused slightly, “However, who is this Lu Yun? It seems I have never heard this name before. Is he an emerging heavenly prodigy, or one of those who hides their true strength?”

The latter question was directed at Chen Zong.

After pledging allegiance to him, Chen Zong was mainly responsible for gathering information for him.
