Chapter 366: Good News, Bad News, and the Death of Huzi!

When Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao followed the main group to gather in the plaza once again, Situ Chengdao could not help but ask again.

Situ Chengdao truly did not know what to do!

It would be one thing if he didn't know the true situation of the Tianren Sect.

But now he felt that there was a pair of eyes staring down from above his head at all times!

Moreover, he was no longer the personality of Xuanyuan Gousheng, and he always felt that he might be exposed at any moment!

"What else can we do?"

"Participate in the competition normally, then take a middle-ranking position."

"However, Brother Situ, there is one point you need to pay attention to."

"That is, you must maintain that urgent impulse to become a Core Disciple from yesterday..."

Ye Bai gave a bitter smile.

He felt panicked as well.

By this time, he had realized that the statue at the very front of the plaza, whose specific features could not be clearly seen, was none other than Kuteng Shangren, who had created this Tianren Sect!

Wensheng said that using one's true strength within the sect for a short time would not be discovered, which meant that Kuteng Shangren was not inside the Tianren Sect, and the means by which that Third Step Great Demonic Cultivator monitored the entire Tianren Sect was very likely that statue!

"Ye Bai, after this competition ends, we can try to make contact with the first-place winner."

"Because the first-place winner has to go see some ancestor, which is most likely Kuteng Shangren, and they will most likely not be coming back."

"Then let me place a highly hidden character on them, so we have a chance to figure out what Dharma Treasure Kuteng Shangren wants to refine, and why he wants to build this Tianren Sect!"

Wensheng transmitted his voice at this moment.

It actually provided Ye Bai with a line of thought!

It was indeed impossible to escape to safety directly right now.

It would be better to gather more useful intelligence to prepare for breaking free from Kuteng Shangren's control later!

The Elite Disciple Competition officially began.

There was nothing much to say about this competition; it was the kind of disciple competition that, even if placed in a novel, would be as normal as could be.

As for the strength Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao could currently display, it was only that of a Fourth Grade Martial Artist and Seventh-grade Beast Taming, and with the two of them intentionally holding back, they were defeated in less than two rounds, ranking in the middle of all the Tianren Sect disciples.

The only thing worth mentioning was Huzi!

That boy who had arrived at the Tianren Sect with Ye Bai two days ago!

He was truly fierce!

Even though there were already many disciples in the Tianren Sect before Huzi, calculating by the fact that one day here equals ten years, those disciples had entered the sect at least ten years earlier than Huzi, and some even forty or fifty years earlier.

Yet, no matter who Huzi faced, he only had a loud laugh.

"I, Huzi, have the potential of a Third Step!"

"The first place in this competition is destined to be mine, and the ancestor's personal disciple can only be me!"

Then, he swung his iron fists with great vigor!

Defeating his opponent!

And the aura on Huzi at this moment was Eighth Grade Peak, which was Mortal Realm Peak!

Seeing this, Ye Bai felt it was a real pity that Huzi had been brought to the Tianren Sect.

Because if he wasn't mistaken, although the strength cultivated by the people here was fake, their cultivation talent was real!

Huzi definitely had extremely high martial arts talent!

And to go from an ordinary person to Eighth Grade Peak in twenty years, even in the Xuanyuan World, that was a top-tier prodigy!

What? The Four Saints were already Eighth Grade Peak early on while defending against the Alien Race? And Ye Bai hadn't even been awake to his talent for a year?

The Four Saints were monsters who could perceive and even trigger Great Dao Power while in the Mortal Realm; Ye Bai had his own persistence and hard work, so they could not be lumped together.

However, regarding Huzi's plight, all Ye Bai could do was sigh in pity.

After all, Huzi was not like Situ Chengdao; he had completely fallen under the brainwashing methods of the Tianren Sect and had long since lost the possibility of waking up.

And, having judged that this boy would likely be the first-place winner of this competition!

If he waited until the competition ended to contact Huzi, by then the other party would have become the winner and might be taken to see Kuteng Shangren immediately.

Ye Bai simply approached Huzi in the evening, when the competition was about to end in two more rounds and the disciples were taking a break.

"Brother Huzi..."

The kind with a fawning smile squeezed out!

And it is worth mentioning.

Huzi saw Ye Bai clearly, let out a cold laugh, and did not speak!

"It's you, Zhuge Goudan?"

"What, now you know to come and curry favor with Brother Huzi?"

Another person beside him, also one of the children who traveled with them two days ago, sneered!

"What about Xuanyuan Gousheng? Didn't you both go to Beast Taming Peak?"

"What, you two are usually inseparable, so why did only you come over now?"

"Could it be that he, a mere middle-ranker, still thinks you two are very outstanding?"

It turned out that when Ye Bai entered the sect, Huzi was the leader of the children in that group.

The other boys and girls were the type who obeyed him in everything!

And at that time, Huzi also wanted to recruit Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao into his ranks.

How could Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao waste energy dealing with Huzi? Not only did they not look at the other party directly, but Situ Chengdao also secretly used some small tricks to make Huzi suffer, leaving him no chance to find trouble with them.

Therefore, both Huzi and his followers at the time were dissatisfied with Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao.

"Brother Huzi, we were young and ignorant before, weren't we..."

Ye Bai did not want to waste too much time with Huzi now; his goal was merely to get close to Huzi and collect more useful information to facilitate his escape from the control of Kuteng Shangren later.

Therefore, while he was apologizing with his mouth, the smile on his face was becoming increasingly fake.

"Ye Bai, it's done."

Wensheng's voice rang out quickly.

Ye Bai immediately wiped the smile off his face, intending to remind Huzi that the new round of the competition was about to start, and then he would directly take his leave!

However.

Contrary to Ye Bai's expectations...

He only regarded Huzi as a tool.

"Zhuge Goudan, I have seen your sincerity!

In consideration of the fact that we entered the sect together, I will give this to you; work hard to become stronger, and then when I return from practicing with the Old Ancestor, follow me obediently and help me do things!"

Huzi actually spoke up suddenly, and he took a crystal out from his body and tossed it to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai also knew what the thing Huzi gave him was; it was recorded in a small booklet issued at the same time as the clothes and Beast Taming when they joined Beast Taming Peak, and it was a Heaven-sent treasure specifically used for feeding Alien Beasts.

It was of great value.

"This?!"

Holding the item Huzi gave him, Ye Bai was stunned.

Watching Huzi continue to participate in the grand competition, his eyes flickered.

He suddenly realized that Huzi was actually still a living, breathing person...

And another hour passed.

The grand competition officially ended.

Huzi, as expected, took first place in the competition!

Then came a speech by the Sect Master, and Huzi was taken away to meet the so-called Old Ancestor of the Tianren Sect to practice with them...

Late at night!

Still at the residence of Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao.

"Ye Bai, one piece of good news and one piece of bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Wensheng's voice rang out once again.

The means he had left on Huzi during the day had already taken effect!
