Volume 1 Chapter 137 Ge Wei Yue, Secretly Plotting Together

  At the foot of the thirty-six peaks of Ha Yun Mountain, rows and rows of low houses, where groups of young students live.

  These students are all talented youngsters who participated in the previous Haidong Zhongxuan selection but failed to advance to the final round. Although they did not make it to the final round, their talents and abilities are not to be underestimated, so the Haidong Branch School has taken them in. After graduation, according to their actual strength assessment, they will be assigned positions in the Haidong Upper Country.

  These three months of mid-term, for these old students, are both exciting and difficult. In these three months, the old students will meet many talented young people from their hometowns, talk about recent family news, and some old students can even see younger brothers and sisters from the same family, very happy.

  As for saying it's hard to endure, it's because the old disciples usually cultivate at the Thirty-six Peaks, but when this year's contestants arrive, they will inevitably squeeze them out, and their cultivation can't help but be affected.

  In one of the houses, a group of old students with the emblem of Haiyun Academy were drinking tea and chatting. What they were talking about was naturally the hottest thing recently - the selection of Haiyun Zhong!

  "In my opinion, it's still Peng Yaozu from our Giant Source City who is the most powerful!" A nineteen-year-old youth took a sip of tea and said, "As early as the last Sea Cloud Three Selection, he was only thirteen years old and had already reached the late stage of Xuan Shi. Moreover, he could transcend boundaries to fight and achieved ninth place. He has been in hiding for three years, so now he must be even more powerful, definitely breaking through the Xuan Shifu boundary, sweeping across this year's tournament, with no one able to stop him!"

  Another youth, a few years older than him, coldly snorted: "Jugen City has geniuses, can't Glory City compare? This generation's number one genius of Glory City, Shen Yu Cheng, possesses two great Xuan Wheels, with fire and thunder in the same body, invincible wherever he goes! Up until now, there hasn't been a single opponent who could force him to use his Thunder Extreme Xuan Force."

  These young men, mostly from the largest cities of Donglai Country such as Giant Source City and Radiant City, all spoke up to boast that their own city's Xuan experts were even stronger.

  A handsome young man spoke up, "Huh? Why haven't we heard from the fellow disciples of Daliang City? As one of the ten major cities of Donglai, it has always produced talented individuals, surely this time is no exception."

  A low hum of laughter erupted around, and a student said: "Daliang City? Haha, that's quite impressive. On the first day, Cao Ang was killed by a young man from Linwan City! Speaking of which, Ge Wei Yue, you're also from Linwan City, how come you don't even know about your own city's genius?"

  The young man who had just opened his mouth to ask was Ge Wei Yue from Lin Yuan City.

  Ge Wei Yue stole a glance at those several talented young men from Daliang City, their faces flushed red as if dripping with blood, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart. Seeing someone ask him, he casually replied: "This is indeed my ignorance, I didn't know that my hometown had such a young master."

  "That young man from Lin Yuan City, named Xu Yang, was only at the Xuan Shi realm boundary, yet he crossed realms to fight and kill Cao Ang. His strength is extremely powerful and unmatched! I don't know who gave him the title of 'Little Killing God', but it has already spread throughout Dong Lai Country."

  Someone sneered: "He just killed Cao Ang more than a month ago, how could it spread so quickly?"

  Someone in front said: "You don't know, Xu Yang has risen to fame after this battle and is now on the list of hidden dragons! The rumors that spread throughout Donglai country are somewhat understated, it should be famous throughout Yingzhou!"

  "Dragon's Den!" Everyone gasped heavily. Among them, many were under twenty years old, exactly the age when they were qualified to climb onto the Dragon's Den.

  "What a joke! A mere mystic, and he's on the list!" A young man from Daliang City with a sturdy build and broad shoulders exclaimed indignantly. "I already have mid-term mastery of mysticism, yet I didn't even make it onto the list. What has Xu Yang done to deserve this?"

  "It's actually not that hard to get on the list," Ge Wei Yue stood up and paced back and forth, chuckling, "According to the rules of the Dragon List, as long as you have outstanding achievements, you can be listed."

  "What is an outstanding achievement?!" asked the young man with a strong back and broad shoulders.

  "Winning across levels is a remarkable feat and qualifies one for the list," said Ge Wei Yue.

  "This isn't a joke, I'm going to challenge the next rank and face Xuan Zong! It's much harder than facing a fellow cultivator of the same level." The sturdy young man with a tiger-like back and bear-like waist shook his head and sighed.

  "There's another way," Ge Wei Yue pretended to think for a long time before speaking, "That is to challenge the person on the list, defeat them in battle, and you can take their place."

  The words were spoken, and many people's hearts were moved.

  "But now the Thirty-six Peaks don't even allow old students to ascend, how can we go find Xu Yang and issue a challenge?" Someone raised a question. "There are Xuan Zong teachers guarding each mountain peak, those people will protect their discovered disciples like chicks, if you rashly go up, you'll definitely be scolded away by the sect masters."

  There are always more solutions than difficulties. Someone immediately came up with a solution: "Those contestants won't be meditating on the mountain peak all the time, some of them often go down the mountain to stroll and shop in Donglai City, we'll send someone to keep an eye on the road entrance."

  "What if Xiang Yang doesn't come out?" someone else said.

  "If it doesn't work out, then we can only wait until three days before the Zhongxuan, when the Yuanzhu will gather all the major Xuan sects to discuss the Zhongxuan process," Ge Wei Yue sneered coldly, "This is also a rare opportunity."

  "Alright, since there's an opportunity, let's make early preparations." A group of people rubbed their fists and palms, as if the ranking on the Hidden Dragon List had already been secured.

  As the crowd dispersed, a sinister glint flashed in Ge Wei Yue's eyes as he smiled and saw them off.

  "Brother Cao, Brother Guo, please stay!" Ge Wei Yue called out to the two old students from Da Liang City.

  "Ge Wei Yue, what's going on?" asked Cao Anmin, a fellow student with the surname Cao, who was also from the great Liang Cao clan and was the paternal uncle of Cao Ang and Cao Ankang. Meanwhile, another student with the surname Guo, named Guo Jian, who came from the great Liang city Guo clan, was the elder brother of the blind Guo Yu.

  The strength of both of them is higher than Ge Wei Yue's, so they usually don't take Ge Wei Yue seriously.

  "Two elder brothers, Wei Yue knows that your younger brother was also killed by Xu Yang's poisonous hand. In fact, I am the same," Ge Wei Yue sighed. "I received a family message that my younger brother, Ge Wei Feng, died at Xu Yang's hands. The title of 'Little Killing God' has been circulating since then. In Donglai City, I once loudly proclaimed Xu Yang's title as 'Little Killing God', just to make some young masters from the giant families in Donglai City see it and be eager to challenge Xu Yang and take his place on the Potential Dragon List. Unfortunately, Xu Yang has always been hiding in Haiyun Mountain, so those young masters from Donglai City never had a chance."

  "I understand, so you gathered us today, on the surface to discuss Haiyun's election, but in fact to instigate everyone to challenge Xu Yang." Cao Anmin said.

  "An Min's brother, wise as a torch," Ge Wei Yue patted the horse and said, "Wanting to kill Xu Yang, relying on one person's power is probably not enough! Wei Yue did this in order to make people challenge him first, exhausting Xu Yang's strength under the name of a challenge, waiting for him to be exhausted before suddenly rising up to strike!"
