Chapter 676: Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!
Wei Hong smiled and didn't care.
Zhu Ming, on the other hand, frowned and said, "Everyone, we don't know each other based on our cultivation level. Besides, most of you here are in the early stages of foundation building. Fellow Daoist Wei has just broken through. Isn't it strange?"
He was the one who brought Wei Hong. When he saw someone looking down on Wei Hong because of his cultivation, Zhu Ming was naturally unhappy and immediately spoke out.
Especially Lin Yinping's words, no one was a fool, and they could naturally understand what they meant, so Zhu Ming looked at Lin Yinping with a hint of unhappiness.
Lin Yinping didn't take it seriously and just smiled harmlessly.
At this time, Shen Qi, who was next to him, said to Zhu Ming: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, you were late just now. We were talking about Daoist Ye who wanted to have a discussion with Daoist Du. Haha, you interrupted their discussion!"
The Daoyou Ye and Du Daoyou mentioned by Shen Qi are actually Ye Ji and Du Dong. Ye Ji is a member of the Cangshan Guards, while Du Dong is the deacon of the Penalty Hall. The two of them are responsible for unusual tasks, and they usually have many problems. Discussing, Shen Qi said this, is actually to smooth things over.
Sure enough, when Zhu Ming heard this, he immediately asked with a smile: "Oh? Fellow Daoist Ye and Fellow Daoist Du are preparing to compete? Haha, that's not Zhu's. Come on, come on, come on, you two, Zhu must watch carefully. Ichiban!”
However, the swarthy man named Du Dong shook his head and waved his hand and said: "No fight, no fight. Fellow Daoist Ye often fights with monsters. He has much more fighting experience than Du, so Du is naturally no match for him!"
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Du is so humble. You and Fellow Daoist Ye are among the top three in our group in terms of cultivation and combat power. Zhu is beyond your reach!"
Zhu Ming laughed, obviously knowing Ye Ji and Du Dong very well.
Ye Ji just smiled faintly. Since Du Dong didn't want to discuss, he naturally wouldn't say anything more, so the scene became quiet again.
Just when the word "sparring" was mentioned, Wei Hong's heart moved.
"I don't know what my current strength is, but I might as well compete with others to see how far I have reached!" Wei Hong thought to himself.
So, when the scene just calmed down, he immediately chuckled and said: "Haha, speaking of discussion, Wei has just made a breakthrough not long ago and has not communicated with any of his colleagues. Today is a rare opportunity, and Wei wants to discuss with you. I wonder if any fellow Taoist would be willing to give me some advice?”
After saying that, he stood up directly and looked around with a look that asked for enlightenment. The meaning was self-evident.
He came to this party originally because he wanted to test his strength, and now it was just right to find someone to compete with.
Seeing Wei Hong's appearance of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, everyone present, including Zhu Ming, was a little stunned.
"Here, Fellow Daoist Wei, you are new here, and it has only been two or three years since you broke through to the foundation building stage. Isn't it too early to find someone to learn from?"
After Zhu Ming was stunned for a while, he immediately started to dissuade him in a subtle way.
However, Wei Hong smiled and said: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhu, since it's a competition, it's natural to reach the end. Even if Wei is defeated, his life will not be in danger. What do you think?"
He looked around again, wanting to see if anyone would stand up and spar with him.
Wei Hong sensed it when he first came in. Except for Ye Ji and Du Dong, who were on the fourth floor of the foundation building, most of the other deacons were between the second and third floors of the foundation building, and most of them were on the second floor.
In his opinion, since they are both in the early stage of foundation building, the deacons in front of him will naturally not be his opponents. It depends on how much strength the other party can force out of him.
Seeing Wei Hong's successive invitations to fight, one of the young men named Gu Jie stood up. He chuckled and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Wei is interested in sparring, how about letting Gu give it a try?"
This young man named Gu Jie has a cultivation level of the second level of foundation building. According to what Zhu Ming just introduced, this person is responsible for a spiritual medicine garden. He usually has many interactions with Zhu Ming and others. However, Wei Hong didn't know that this person actually had some interest in the female cultivator Lin Yinping, so after Wei Hong expressed his desire to learn from each other, he immediately stepped forward, fearing that he would miss this opportunity to express himself.
Wei Hong naturally would not refuse, and immediately nodded and said with a smile: "It turns out that I am an ancient Taoist friend, so of course I can, please!" "Please!"
Gu Jie's expression turned serious, and he came to stand in front of Wei Hong.
The dozen or so deacons around saw that the two were about to start sparring, so they all with different expressions stepped back a large distance, leaving a large area in the center of the side hall for the two sparring people, while they watched the battle from the side.
Before the discussion began, the dozen or so deacons around him had mixed reactions.
Zhu Ming and Shen Qi frowned slightly, not understanding why Wei Hong suddenly asked for a competition, but at the same time they were worried that Wei Hong would lose to Gu Jie, and then Lin Yinping and others would look down upon him even more.
Lin Yinping and others were either a little disdainful or thought that Wei Hong was trying to please others. In their opinion, Wei Hong had just broken through to the foundation-building stage within two or three years, so how could he be Gu Jie's opponent?
Obviously, none of them take Wei Hong, a newcomer to the first level of foundation building, seriously!
Even Gu Jie himself thought so, and was already thinking about whether Wei Hong should be too embarrassed to lose.
However, Wei Hong spoke up at this time: "Fellow Ancient Taoist, can we start?"
He looked indifferent and was not affected in any way.
Gu Jie was affected by his indifferent aura, his expression immediately straightened, he nodded solemnly and said: "Of course!"
"Well, please be careful, fellow ancient Taoist!"
After saying that, Wei Hong immediately made a hand gesture.
The next moment, more than a dozen fireballs appeared in the air, and then he waved his hand, and those fireballs crashed down towards Gu Jie.
Since it was a sparring match, and it was still indoors, the two sides would naturally not use spiritual weapons, but would use spells to determine the outcome as much as possible.
The fireball technique was just Wei Hong's test!
Sure enough, before the fireball could hit the ground, Gu Jie immediately used a water dragon technique, flew up to meet the fireball, and completely extinguished the dozen or so fireballs.
Wei Hong didn't take it seriously at all, and took advantage of Gu Jie to cast his spell and pointed his finger directly.
puff!
A thick green vine like a horned dragon appeared directly out of thin air, and then immediately turned into a soft giant python, winding directly towards Gu Jie, as if trying to trap him.
"How come it's so fast?"
Gu Jie's expression changed. He didn't expect Wei Hong to cast the spell so fast.
He hurriedly activated his spiritual power and quickly formed a layer of rock-like yellow armor outside his body to protect him firmly.
Gu Jie only had time to do this layer of protection before the ivy like a dragon suddenly wrapped around him.
Gu Jie had no choice but to avoid it, hoping that the rock armor technique on his body could block Ivy.
Crunch!
The green vines like horned dragons directly wrapped Gu Jie tightly like a giant python. The yellow armor on his body also made an overwhelmed sound under the powerful entanglement of the green vines!
