Chapter 201 (continued)
Xuan Qi and the other two returned to Xuanyuan's side one by one, each giving Li Yang a faint glance.
Their expressions were calm, but their emotions were complex.
Li Yang not only gained their Shock Points, but also their malice.
In comparison, the Shock Points gained is much less than that gained from malice.
The amount of Shock Points gained depends more on the number of participants.
Malice is different. If people are at peace, even if there are thousands or thousands of people, they will not harbor much malice.
Xuanyuan wasn't upset about his disciples being eliminated.
Their strength is just so-so; they'd be lucky to make it past the second round.
If I'm lucky, I'll be eliminated in the second round like this.
He was in a good mood, and after offering some encouraging words with a smile, he looked at the Bone Peach Mother Tree: "Keep it up, maybe you'll draw another lucky number."
Xuanyuan's words made Xuan Qi and the others look at the Bone Peach Mother Tree with even more complicated expressions.
Not only them, but all the eliminated disciples couldn't help but cast complicated and unreadable glances at the Bone Peach Mother Tree.
Li Yang has gathered another batch of Shock Points...
But she would rather trade that Shock Points for a chance to be eliminated!
People's joys and sorrows are not shared...
Li Yang felt this deeply.
If we include Li Yang in the flower buds, there are only 17 people left.
It remains 16 people corresponding to 8 tags, and number nine is the lucky number this round.
With the upcoming lottery approaching, everyone's thoughts are focused on the Bone Peach Mother Tree.
As the saying goes, once is enough, twice is bad, but a third time is not...
She can't possibly win the lucky number in the third round too!
A water droplet falls, then unfolds.
The brightly lit number 9 left Li Yang expressionless.
The Flower of Evil burst into laughter without any restraint, exclaiming, "Interesting, very interesting!"
Before coming to the First Realm Domain, he never imagined he would acquire such a large amount of malice in this way!
Li Yang was speechless, and even wondered if she had been set up!
The battle within the flower bud was about to erupt, and everyone, no longer bothering to examine the Bone Peach Mother Tree, plunged into the fight against those with the same serial number.
Another round ended, and this time there were even fewer people in the flower bud area, only 9 people left.
And Li Yang has become increasingly prominent.
Huoji wouldn't normally have noticed this Seventh Grade Realm disciple, but since she's entered the third round, it's hard to miss her now.
Huoji frowned and asked, "Did you attend the Thousand Flowers Feast?"
Li Yang filled with trepidation and whispered, "I was being chased by someone at the time. Thank you for saving my life, Venerable One."
When she mentioned it, Huoji remembered.
At that time in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain, there was indeed a Disciple who was targeted by Jiang Nianchu and caused a scene in the tavern.
The mere thought of the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain ignited a nameless fire within Huoji Ji. His expression towards the Bone Peach Mother Tree cooled, and he coldly said, "You really are quite lucky."
Li Yang gave a perfectly timed dry laugh, not daring to look at the Huoji any longer.
Huoji also looked away, not paying any attention to her, and instead looked at Shi Yun, who was wearing a mask and dressed in black armor.
In this Personal Disciple Tournament, Shi Yun was undoubtedly a dark horse.
The gaze that Huoji gave Shi Yun was filled with murderous intent.
Li Yang noticed this and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious—did these two have a grudge?
Possibly.
It's likely that there's a competitive relationship among those personally trained by the God King.
Especially since Huoji suffered a major setback in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain, he probably really wants to prove himself again in this small competition.
Winning first place in the competition is the best proof.
Huoji was very confident in defeating the others, after all, he was at the Eighth Grade Realm Peak, which was enough to crush them in terms of realm.
This Shi Yun is particularly difficult to manage.
Although it's only at the Early Eighth Grade, it's ridiculously strong.
I have no idea where the Divine Venerable of Time found such a "monster"!
If Huoji loses to a disciple at the Eighth Grade Realm Early Stage, he will lose even more face.
The genius persona that Huoji has cultivated in the Upper Three Realms over the years will be completely overturned.
Li Yang wished the Huoji would fail, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Without the ability to use her Risking Life measures, she is no match for Huoji.
Li Yang composed herself, hoping she wouldn't draw the lucky number again!
She no longer had the chance to pretend to be "lost" and wander around the First Realm Domain, but being the center of attention like this wasn't a good thing either.
She has plenty of Malice Points, but she'll find it very difficult to move forward in this First Realm Domain.
Dao Yi also turned his gaze to Li Yang, and said with a smile, "Each of these slips has a 'random' rule, and no one can control 'randomness'. So, you got to where you are now by luck, and our God King Daowu has always recognized the value of luck."
Li Yang feigned surprise and stammered, not daring to respond casually.
Dao Yi comforted her, saying, "It's alright. This is your ability, and it's a good thing to be capable. Don't panic."
Li Yang thanked him repeatedly, his expression showing admiration and respect for Dao Yi.
As the lottery results were announced, Li Yang stared at the water droplet, her heart pounding.
The Flower of Evil kept chanting like a mantra. "Number five, number five, number five, number five, important things must be said five times!"
Li Yang: "..."
The water droplet burst open, slowly forming a number.
It really is number five!
A series of exclamations rang out, Li Yang gained a large amount of Shock Points, Flower of Evil gained a large amount of malice.
Li Yang completely calmed down.
That's it then. Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it.
After the competition ended, only five people remained in the flower bud.
It was impossible for Li Yang to leave beforehand.
Since it's a fait accompli, we might as well try to gain as much Malice Points as possible.
Even the Shi Yun of the day turned its head slightly to look at Li Yang.
When Li Yang met his gaze, her heart inexplicably clenched.
Shi Yun's gaze was cold, as if he hated everyone.
But Li Yang had never met him and didn't understand why he harbored such deep hatred for her.
Strangely enough, however, she could not sense any ill will from Shi Yun.
He clearly hates her, but there's no malice in it. How can this be?
Moreover, Li Yang had never received Shock Points from Shi Yun fortune.
This person is truly mysterious; no wonder he is the direct disciple of the most enigmatic Divine Venerable of Time.
The sour Xuan Shi that was originally outside the flower bud has now disappeared.
If the Bone Peach Mother Tree had only made it into the second round by luck, she would have felt it was a great pity and felt very wronged.
The Bone Peach Mother Tree survived to the end by sheer luck, so what's there to complain about?
Xuan Shi even felt honored.
The Divine Venerable of Fire, who had always been at odds with Xuanyuan, said in a low voice, "You really have taken in a promising child."
Xuanyuan gave a forced smile and said, "It was just a lucky accident."
"Hehe, drawing lucky numbers repeatedly isn't just a fluke."
The Divine Venerable of Wind also spoke up, saying, "If I had known there was such a talent at the last Mystifying Space Gathering, I should have gone to see him too."
The Divine Venerable of Wood said coolly, "What good would it do if you went? You haven't mastered the Divine Power of Water."
Everyone present knows how the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul of the Bone Peach Mother Tree came to be.
If Xuanyuan hadn't presided over that Mystifying Space Gathering and used a large amount of Power of Water to cleanse her Star Soul, she wouldn't have been able to create this unexpected Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.
The Divine Venerable of Wind chuckled and said, "Indeed, this is the destiny of the Divine Venerable of Water; others simply cannot match it."
Xuanyuan tensed up, knowing that the Divine Venerable of Wind was most adept at stabbing people in the back.
He said this to make Xuanyuan the target of public criticism.
After all, the seven Sages were all trying their best to study the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul, but despite having so many readily available materials, they still couldn't master a high-quality Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.
On the contrary, Xuanyuan... didn't use any materials at all, yet he already had a Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.
Moreover, the fortune of this Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul is extremely strong. Judging from her performance in this Heavenly Fortune Realm Domain, it can be seen that she is destined to reach the Divine Venerable Realm.
Could it be...?
Is Xuanyuan really going to possess his own Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul?
The other Sage were all wary, but they didn't show it.
Li Yang inexplicably detected a large amount of malicious activity.
Unfortunately, unlike the Shock Points, the malice doesn't display the person's name, so Li Yang didn't know where this malice came from.
The Flower of Evil, however, answered her question, saying, "You've been targeted by those six Sages."
Li Yang: "!"
The six Sages had long known of the existence of the Bone Peach Mother Tree, but the Seventh Grade Realm Bone Peach Mother Tree was like a high-quality sword embryo; whether it could ultimately be forged into a divine weapon remained to be seen.
However, the current fortune displayed by the Bone Peach Mother Tree in the Heavenly Fortune Realm Domain makes them feel threatened.
That's why they harbored so much malice towards her.
Li Yang was first shocked, then numb.
Anyway, she couldn't control this matter, so being able to get some malicious people to exchange for the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower for free was a good thing.
Another round of drawing lots.
Logically, what everyone should be most concerned about is who will face whom among the disciples of the God King on the field.
Huoji, Shi Yun, Tianqi, Kongming...
These four are geniuses among geniuses; if they hadn't started learning late, they wouldn't be stuck at the Eighth Grade Realm.
However, everyone's attention was focused on the Bone Peach Mother Tree.
Originally focused on winning first place in the competition, Huoji was also curious about what Bone Peach Mother Tree would draw this time.
The Bone Peach Mother Tree was incredibly lucky; despite not engaging in any battles, she became the most eye-catching figure in this competition.
Even though Huoji ultimately won first place, the limelight was stolen by Bone Peach Mother Tree!
However, Huoji was already planning in his heart that if the Bone Peach Mother Tree could really make it to the finals by luck, he would definitely give her a good beating, making it difficult for her to recover even after hundreds of years.
So what if you're lucky?
She will ultimately lose to him!
