Mythical Cultivation

However, the second round of competition had not yet ended, so they did not rush to leave. Instead, they chose to stay in the wide square, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, trying to find some disciples who had attracted their attention.

In fact, among the many disciples of the previous class, those renowned and well-known figures were known to the public, even if they had never witnessed their presence in person. Names like Zhao Wuji, Zuo Junyi, Bai Yixuan, and Shi Xiu were known like thunder. These disciples were all highly accomplished, having long since reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. Facing such a formidable opponent, everyone was well prepared and prepared.

But what truly intimidated them were those unknown, little-known, yet powerful potential competitors. This was because people often tended to let their guard down and relax their vigilance against such opponents. Once they did so, they were very likely to suffer unexpected defeat in the competition.

Take Zuo Junyi, for example. Although his cultivation was slightly inferior to Huang Hao's, he was also a master who had already entered the ninth level of Qi Refining and had undergone many years of training. If he had been more cautious and steady, even if he ultimately failed to defeat Huang Hao, he would not have been eliminated in just a few dozen rounds!

Zuo Junyi's painful experience undoubtedly served as a wake-up call for everyone present, becoming a prime example for others to learn from. Consequently, the other players, including Wu Ming, remained vigilant, keeping a close eye on the other players' every move, meticulously monitoring every possible action, ensuring they grasped any crucial information that could influence the outcome of the match.

"Dongfang Haoyu? He's actually reached the ninth level of Qi Refining! This is truly astonishing. How on earth did he manage to improve his strength so quietly?" Wang Xiaohu sighed in disbelief, breathing heavily. You know, getting such important and secret information took a lot of his energy and time.

Zhao Xiaohai, standing nearby, frowned upon hearing this, searching his mind for fragments of his memories of Dongfang Haoyu. After a long pause, he slowly replied, "Dongfang Haoyu... well, I seem to have some impression of him. If I remember correctly, he doesn't have many friends and always keeps to himself."

As Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Xiaohai talked, the other people around them also began to recall all the information about Dongfang Haoyu. After all, they were all disciples who had entered the sect in the same batch, so they knew each other's situations to some extent.

However, before this, Dongfang Haoyu had always been extremely low-key and ordinary, without revealing any extraordinary qualities. Who would have thought that such an unremarkable guy would now be suspected of having entered the ninth level of Qi Refining? It was truly impressive.

Just as everyone was discussing Dongfang Haoyu's astonishing transformation, Wu Ming suddenly interrupted and asked, "Besides Dongfang Haoyu, is there anyone else here named Liu Qingyun?"

When Wu Ming heard about Dongfang Haoyu, he couldn't help but think of the highly respected Grandpa Wang who had mentioned several second- and third-generation disciples who had successfully reached the ninth level of Qi Refining at Hesheng Hall a few months ago. Among those names mentioned at the time were Dongfang Haoyu and Liu Qingyun. It was for this reason that Wu Ming specifically inquired about the existence of Liu Qingyun.

"It seems that such a person does exist. Yes, it's that guy named Liu Qingyun. I heard that he is also a student of our class. However, to be honest, my impression of this person is really vague! In addition, it is said that there are several others named Shen Jia, Bu Yixian, Duanmu Rong and Ouyang Mingyue. So far, I have only heard of these names. You know, these people are all super dark horses in this event. Before this, many people have never even heard of their names! Of course, now, I'm afraid Brother Hao has to be included!" Wang Xiaohu spilled all the information he had painstakingly found out.

At this time, Huang Hao took over the conversation and said, "Well, I know a thing or two about Bu Yixian, the person you just mentioned. He was a disciple from the same batch as us. I wonder if you still remember this person? He always seems so cold and ruthless on weekdays, and he is also very eccentric and weird by nature." Coincidentally, perhaps it was because this person's temperament was somewhat similar to his, so he had some memory of him.

Li Fei then chimed in, saying, "As for Ouyang Mingyue, I know her, of course. She seems to be one of the female disciples in our class. Although she's not beautiful, her figure is quite good. However, I don't have much impression of Duanmu Rong and Shen Jia."

"These two people are completely unfamiliar to me. After all, there are over 500 disciples in our class. We haven't spent much time together and haven't yet established a deep understanding of each other, so it's not surprising that we haven't met before," Zhao Xiaohai said. Even he, who usually has a wide range of friends and is good at making friends, was completely clueless about these two people.

Wu Ming knew full well that the situation facing these individuals was likely identical to that of Liu Qingyun and Dongfang Haoyu. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "It seems that in the upcoming matches, we must pay close attention to these individuals! We must carefully observe their powerful tactics. That way, if we ever encounter them on the field, we'll at least be prepared."

Zhao Xiaohai nodded repeatedly after hearing this, expressing his strong agreement with Wu Ming's words: "Yes, Wu Ming is absolutely right! We should indeed pay more attention to these guys, but the other contestants should not be underestimated either. You have to know that those disciples who entered the last session have been practicing for nearly twenty years, and there are countless brothers who have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. It is not easy to successfully squeeze into the top one hundred!"

A few people were chatting and laughing as they walked along when suddenly their eyes were drawn to a nearby arena. They saw a huge crowd in front of the arena, with over a hundred people surrounding it in three layers. It was quite lively!
