Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 472 Reactions from All Sides, Little Friend?

Where did these people come from?

"When did purple-level talents become so common, like cabbages?"

Chu Xinghan was secretly resentful, his brows furrowed.

He naturally understood that Guo Shi'an took those people away to give them special treatment and preferential resources.

This will undoubtedly make their future path smoother.

However, the next moment, Chu Xinghan was like a lion awakening, quickly regaining his confidence.

He raised his head, his gaze firm and ardent, thinking to himself:

So what if you're more talented than me?

"Even if it's a purple-level talent, it's only half a level higher than my peak blue-level talent, so it's nothing to worry about."

"In this world where the strong are respected, strength is the only standard by which everything is measured. I am the strongest among the younger generation in Zhongzhou!"

His goals were no longer limited to the small world of Zhongzhou.

Instead, it was the much broader and more intense "Hundred Worlds Genius Conference".

Compete against geniuses from different worlds!

His true desire was to prove his strength through the baptism of blood and fire.

At this moment, Chu Xingyun, standing beside him, remained expressionless, neither happy nor sad.

But the raging fighting spirit emanating from him was like a burning flame, intense and fiery.

It seems he can't wait to fight those gifted individuals!

Li Tianxing, Kan Wushuang, and others are completely different from Chu Xinghan.

Their faces were shrouded in gloom, filled with a sinister look, and their eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent.

High endowment means unlimited future potential.

Even though they may have a slight advantage at the moment;

But with their amazing talent, these people are destined to rise like brilliant stars in the future, leaving us far behind.

For them, who are violent and intolerant of others surpassing them, this is undoubtedly a huge threat!

They felt like this was like shitting on their heads!

It was as if their cheeks were being pressed to the ground and rubbed, leaving them utterly devoid of dignity.

At that moment, they had only one thought in their minds:

Kill him as soon as possible!

Only by nipping these potential threats in the bud can one continue to live a carefree life in this cruel world.

......

Of course, the atmosphere wasn't entirely gloomy; some people were also immersed in joy.

For example, Wang Anran, Yue Qinghuan, and others.

Their faces were beaming with radiant smiles; they were beautiful and captivating.

Seeing that Li Qingyuan and the other two all possessed purple-level talents, they felt proud and gratified, and were honored.

In their eyes, Li Qingyuan and the others were like the most dazzling stars in the night sky, destined to shine with unparalleled brilliance in the future.

However, Su Haoran was on the other side.

His expression was strange, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

He muttered to himself:

"What's going on? When did my sister, Su Yaoyue, develop such amazing talent? Even I, her older brother, had no idea..."

However, this was not the most confusing thing for him.

more importantly.

He witnessed Su Yaoyue leaving arm in arm with Li Qingyuan in a very intimate manner.

This scene was like a boulder thrown into his calm lake of heart, stirring up ripples.

It made him suddenly feel like his brain wasn't working properly...

"What exactly happened? What is their relationship?"

Su Haoran stood there, stunned, his mind a jumble of questions, a flood of ideas that he couldn't find the answers to.

Before long, the discussions in the room gradually subsided.

Like the receding tide, the sea has returned to calm.

The cultivators present dispersed, each carrying their own feelings and thoughts, disappearing into the vast night.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion in Tianji City.

Night fell as dark as ink, slowly pouring down and enveloping the entire city.

Inside the city lord's mansion, the lights swayed gently in the night breeze, creating a beautiful interplay of light and shadow.

Inside a spacious and quiet room.

Guo Shi'an sat in the main seat, with Li Qingyuan, Pei Ziyan and other young talents standing on either side.

Guo Shi'an's gaze was gentle and approving. After scanning the room, he slowly spoke:

"Today, I would like to congratulate all of you young friends on successfully passing the first stage of the Heavenly Pride Tournament."

"Purple-level talent, such talent is truly rare."

“From the moment you embarked on the path of cultivation, you have already stood at a starting point far beyond that of ordinary people.”

"You are all the light of hope for the future of my Central Plains."

"You should have heard that in six months, the grand 'Hundred Realms Genius Conference' will begin."

"At that time, the rise and fall of Zhongzhou will largely depend on the valiant efforts of you young friends..."

Upon hearing this, Pei Ziyan quickly stood up, cupped her hands in a respectful bow, and said humbly:

"Elder Guo is too kind. We are truly unworthy of such an honor."

Upon seeing this, Li Qingyuan and the others also stood up and bowed in greeting.

They all knew in their hearts:

The words of the City Lord of Tianji City, though full of praise, also subtly highlighted the crucial importance of the Hundred Realms Genius Conference.

This clearly demonstrates the importance that Tianji Pavilion attaches to this grand event!

......

Afterwards, everyone exchanged pleasantries over some trivial topics.

However, Li Qingyuan and others keenly sensed that Guo Shi'an seemed to have some important things he hadn't said yet.

He always seemed to want to say something but then stopped, his eyes revealing a hint of contemplation and weighing of options, clearly searching for the most appropriate moment.

After all, Guo Shian's attitude towards them was impeccably good.

He addressed me as "little friend" repeatedly.

Their words were full of warmth and care, as if they had known each other for many years and were close friends despite their age difference.

"Young friend?"

Hearing Guo Shi'an's affectionate address, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but ponder to herself.

His gaze inadvertently swept over the old ox beside him, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He almost laughed out loud, but a sense of emotion welled up in his heart.

This Thousand Faces Disguise Technique truly lives up to its reputation as a celestial secret art!

Even the Soul Purifying Stone couldn't detect the slightest flaw, allowing the old ox to successfully deceive everyone.

Think about it carefully.

It must have been that after the old ox's cultivation level improved, he fully activated the Thousand Faces Disguise Technique, causing a dramatic change in his aura and appearance.

This is why neither the Soul Purifying Stone nor Guo Shi'an, a powerful expert at the Emperor Heaven Realm, could detect its true strength...
