The "Talents" Signing Up to Compete
Aside from himself, Gu Ruoli, Tsukasa Kadoya, Xiao Yan, Gabriel, Rimuru, who were people he already knew.
Among the people brought by others from their respective worlds, there were also some who planned to go to the Grand Rite of Luo Tian for fun.
Moreover, in the eyes of others, the group of people who signed up were all talented individuals:
The White-Clad Minister possesses the Tyrant Song's Eye (one of the people brought by Gu Ruoli).
Joyful and happy person (god) A-Huan (Aha).
Milim, one of the three oldest demon lords.
The all-powerful thief, the final rider, Kaito Daiki.
Hu Tao, the Wangshu Funeral Parlor, was raised by Rock Lord since childhood.
Angel imbued with divine Holy Light... the demon Vignette.
The Herrscher of Flamescion, the Firefly Version Kiana.
The Stellar Core Essence, Star, is beginning to take on a human form and develop human nature, walking a path of Destruction and Preservation.
And the Intertwined Fate of being dragged by Xing to sign up - March 7th.
Wu Tong counted and suddenly realized that, including the six people already known, there were as many as fifteen people who had signed up this time.
"Interesting, very interesting. I didn't expect that there would be as many as fifteen people from our group who signed up. I wonder what interesting things will happen in tomorrow's competition."
But that's fine too. What's fun about a future that never changes? This complete unknown is what makes the future so exciting. Tomorrow's Grand Rite of Luo Tian is sure to be very interesting.
Wu Tong rubbed his chin with his right hand, looking at the group of people who had signed up with great interest, while he was really looking forward to tomorrow's competition.
With these guys around, tomorrow's match is definitely not going to be peaceful.
As for why? You should look at the composition of this group of talented individuals:
The stars who believe Rule are meant to be broken, the Aeon of Elation Aha, the unpredictable White-Clad Minister, the all-around thief Kaito Daiki, the quirky Hu Tao, the idiot Kiana, and March 7th.
If you say nothing will happen, not only Wu Tong, but even they themselves probably wouldn't believe that such a possibility exists.
Soon, after everyone had finished registering, Zhang Chulan led everyone to the Old Celestial Master's residence to meet him.
After all, guests are guests, but it would be a bit unreasonable if they didn't even bother to pay a visit to the host.
Inside a simple, unadorned little house, Zhang Zhiwei was looking at the registration form in his hand with a worried expression.
"Haha, Old Celestial Master, we meet again. Judging from your appearance, you've been doing quite well these days." Looking at the composed Old Celestial Master in his simple Daoist robe, Wu Tong smiled and stepped forward to greet him.
"Wu Tong, what you're doing... is a bit unethical."
At this moment, looking at the registration form in his hand, the Old Celestial Master had a bitter expression on his face.
I originally thought that even if someone in the Dimensional Chat Group signed up, there wouldn't be many, so I just participated.
At worst, I can just swallow my pride and ask someone to go easy on me, and then bribe them with something to cover it up.
But the result was completely unexpected; a total of fifteen people participated in this Grand Rite of Luo Tian.
This left Zhang Zhiwei somewhat dumbfounded.
Even if he went bankrupt, he still couldn't bribe this many people.
What merit do I, with my humble Grand Rite of Luo Tian, possess to attract so many powerful figures?
They sensed the unfathomable, Abyss -like, completely unknown strength emanating from Wu Tong and the others.
The Old Celestial Master knew that Wu Tong had far surpassed him. Even though his strength had improved considerably, Wu Tong's strength was increasing at an astonishing rate, as if he were on a plane.
This left the Old Celestial Master deeply moved, but also filled him with bitterness, as if all his years of cultivation had been wasted.
"Haha, it's just a game. Don't worry, Old Celestial Master, I will definitely not let your plan have any problems."
Wu Tong smiled awkwardly. They had indeed acted unfairly, only thinking about crushing the weak and completely neglecting Zhang Zhiwei's feelings.
Wu Tong only realized this after registering.
"Yeah, Old Celestial Master, it's just a game. By the way, did you arrange for Zhang Chulan to be the final winner?"
Gu Ruoli clearly thought of this as well, and hurriedly echoed her.
"That was the original plan, but now it seems that it will be a bit difficult for Zhang Chulan to win."
At this point, the Old Celestial Master glanced resentfully at the embarrassed crowd, not believing that Zhang Chulan could defeat these guys.
However, this is not a big deal, since other major events will happen at this Grand Rite of Luo Tian.
The two major news items, Quanxing's attack on the mountain and cooperation with the state, are enough to overshadow the popularity of the Grand Rite of Luo Tian. At worst, we can just hire some online trolls to drive traffic, and whoever wins first place won't matter much.
This time it will be tough on those kids; they're so young, yet they have to face such a formidable opponent.
Sigh~.
Thinking of this, the Old Celestial Master sighed Youyou, feeling a deep sadness for the younger generation who were about to suffer a major blow.
The others also noticed the Old Celestial Master's resentment and kept quiet so as not to disturb the old man who was clearly in a bad mood.
After a while, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered that he had planned to ask the Old Celestial Master about the barrier. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke up, "Um... Old Celestial Master, when we were registering just now, we discussed something and would like to ask for your opinion."
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan left the decision of whether or not to set up a barrier to prevent the Quanxing from escaping to the Old Celestial Master.
Upon hearing this, the Old Celestial Master pondered for a long time before finally shaking his head and saying, "Let's forget about it. If we really push Quanxing too hard, they will inevitably resort to desperate measures, and the consequences will be extremely serious."
After saying that, he looked at the group of people who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and said with a kind smile, "I know you are all very strong, but it's better to be cautious in this kind of thing. I don't want this place of cultivation between dragons and tigers to become a bloody hunting ground."
Since the Old Celestial Master had already said so much, everyone had no choice but to agree with Old Celestial Master idea and put the idea of setting up a protective barrier out of their minds.
After this little incident, the Old Celestial Master's mood gradually improved, and the atmosphere among everyone gradually eased.
Immediately after learning of Wu Tong and the others' arrival, Old Master Lu Jin and Zuo Ruotong, who had rushed over, also arrived one by one.
Afterwards, everyone started chatting in the small room, and incidentally, they made arrangements for Quanxing and the personnel to be received.
