Chapter 55: Why Isn't It a Late Bloomer (Added chapter, asking for follow-up reading, asking for monthly tickets)

【Testing the waters, emerging from the crowd, you obtained a good ranking in the sect competition at seven, were recognized by more people, and became slightly famous in the sect.】

【Task "Emerging from the Crowd" completed, reward settling...】

【Task rating C.】

【Obtained 20 achievement points!】

Just when Li Rui thought the reward had been settled, more lines of small characters popped up.

【Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement "Immortal Couple" beginner plot—Maiden Pleased by a Hero.】

【Accompanied by a chivalrous maiden, walking in the Jianghu should be happy and carefree. At seven, you stood out from the crowd, attracting the favor of a childhood sweetheart. What maiden doesn't like a high-spirited young man?】

【Task "Maiden Pleased by a Hero" completed, reward settling...】

【Task rating B.】

【Obtained 30 achievement points!】

【Name: Li Rui】

【Age: 7】

【Talent: Martial Bone, Outstanding Comprehension】

【Cultivation Technique: White Ape Blade Technique】

【Achievement: 50/100】

Li Rui's mouth twitched wildly.

For the "Immortal Couple" task, he actually obtained a B, even higher than "Emerging from the Crowd."

However, this time he obtained "50" achievement points in one breath.

Directly making the progress more than half.

Huge profit!

A smile lifted the corner of Li Rui's mouth; such things could come more often.

He had almost figured out the system's routine.

Generally speaking, it could be summarized as: as long as you show off, you can obtain achievements, but how to survive after showing off depends on personal ability.

If he were truly a fledgling youth, he would probably be as ostentatious as possible.

But Li Rui, after experiencing the world, preferred seven points.

Being too rigid is easy to break.

Seven points is just right.

"Peace and safety is a blessing."

He had heard of too many world-shocking geniuses who were stunning in their youth but died young in the end.

If one cannot realize one's talent, then no matter how strong the talent is, it is all in vain.

Walking steadily at seventy, why isn't it a late bloomer?

Until noon.

The duel was gradually drawing to a close.

Everyone cast their gaze on the former Vice Helmsman, Qian.

The duel between Vice Helmsmen had just begun.

Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked onto the stage slowly: "Brother Zhou, please."

Vice Helmsman Zhou Rui stood up cursing: "Surname Qian, are you treating me as a soft persimmon?"

Among the several Vice Helmsmen.

His waist token number was the largest, "5".

That is to say, in the last grand competition, he was at the bottom among the Vice Helmsmen.

Qian choosing him was clearly seeking stability.

After all, if Qian lost again, the Vice Helmsman position would really have nothing to do with him.

But Zhou Rui, as the target of selection, felt insulted.

"Sorry."

Qian was also helpless.

In fact, his relationship with Zhou Rui was still quite good. At the beginning of the examination, his goal was actually Zhang Yang's waist token number "2".

But Ge Hong intervened and disrupted his plan.

Now he had no choice but to choose the weakest Zhou Rui.

In the face of interests, there is no such thing as friends.

Zhou Rui walked to the center of the arena with large strides. At this time, only he and Qian were left on the arena.

He raised his right hand and wiped his shiny bald head.

"I must make you regret it, kid!"

Qian also knew he had offended Zhou Rui, so without a word, he drew his sword and rushed up.

The contest between two Vice Helmsmen was naturally exciting.

Before, being suppressed by Ge Hong's Willow Leaf Blade, his swordsmanship didn't show; now, facing Zhou Rui, every move was exquisite and tricky, very extraordinary.

Zhou Rui could sit in the position of Vice Helmsman.

Naturally, he wasn't a vegetarian. He danced a large blade until it was whistling with wind.

Besides this, a move of Iron Head Technique made Qian not dare to get close.

The two fought extremely cautiously. They fought for a full half-hour, and finally, Zhou Rui was no match and was stabbed in the right shoulder by Qian.

Zhou Rui was full of unwillingness.

Qian cupped his fists: "Brother Zhou, offended. I'll invite you to drink another day."

Finally, he kept his position as Vice Helmsman.

Zhou Shulin below the stage was full of indignation.

"This surname Qian is not honorable; if he has the ability, fight Ge Hong again."

The reason he was so excited.

Naturally, it was because Vice Helmsman Zhou was his maternal uncle.

As the saying goes, when one person attains the Dao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Since Zhou Rui became Vice Helmsman, let's just say, the dogs of the Zhou family had become guard dogs for the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

Who doesn't hope for such relatives?

Liang He comforted him: "Even if Senior Zhou cannot be a Vice Helmsman, a Great Elder is no problem."

=9+Book_Bar

Zhou Shulin could only nod helplessly.

It's just that the power of this Great Elder is far worse than that of a Vice Helmsman.

At least in the future, it wouldn't be so easy for Zhou Rui to stuff people into the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

After Qian and Zhou Rui finished fighting.

Zhao Wei finally stood out.

He looked at Zhang Yang confidently: "Vice Helmsman Zhang, why don't we have a match?"

Zhang Yang stood up expressionlessly.

He had long anticipated that he would become Zhao Wei's challenge target.

Who told his waist token to be "2".

Zhao Wei, as the youngest and most potential young faction among the several Vice Helmsmen, had long coveted his waist token.

"If you want to take it, you have to see if you have the ability!"

Zhang Yang snorted coldly.

He could sit in the position of the number one Vice Helmsman, not just relying on seniority.

He saw Zhang Yang pick up a long spear made of refined iron from the side and walk to the center of the arena.

"Zhao Wei, if you want to move up, you have to listen to whether my Silver Dragon Spear agrees!"

Below the stage.

Li Rui's eyebrows moved slightly.

It was his first time seeing Zhang Yang take action; he hadn't expected him to use a spear. As the saying goes, a month for a stick, a year for a blade, a lifetime for a spear.

Don't look at the spear as similar to a stick, but the method of use is very different.

Summarized in one word, it is "pierce."

So it requires the user to have extremely high discernment and hand strength; otherwise, one cannot play the spear well.

Therefore, spear techniques are mostly seen in the military, and rarely does anyone in the Jianghu use a spear.

Zhao Wei grinned and drew the long blade at his waist.

"Old fellow, I'll see how you are rampant today?!"

He felt the strength surging in his dantian.

The Jin Gang Pill is truly a supreme treasure for Bronze Bone Realm martial artists; swallowing a Jin Gang Pill can save at least ten years of bitter practice!

Zhao Wei felt he was terrifyingly strong now.

If it weren't for seeking stability, he would even want to have two moves with Helmsman Dao Xiong.

The smell of gunpowder between the two was extremely strong.

Who told the two to be at odds originally, and Zhang Yang hadn't given Zhao Wei less trouble, and small frictions had never stopped.

Today is just the right time to settle old and new grudges together.

Zhang Yang held the end of the spear with both hands, his waist and abdomen exerted force, and his arms shook.

The spear body made of refined iron was actually shaken into spear flowers.

This scene made the people below applaud repeatedly.

Zhao Wei snorted: "Just flowery fists and embroidered legs."

He crossed to Zhang Yang's front with dragon-like steps and tiger-like strides, slashing at Zhang Yang with a blade.

Zhang Yang used long to attack short, and he could cope with it.

On the arena.

The sound of the long blade and iron spear colliding was constant, like iron beating, making people's teeth feel soft.

If it weren't for the spiritual substances mixed in their weapons, they would have long since rolled their edges or broken.

Li Rui watched carefully.

"As expected of the Deputy Branch Master, truly formidable."

But soon, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and then sighed:

"Lost."
