Chapter 137: Ge Wei Yue, Secretly Plotting

  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 young people who have participated in the Haidong Zhongxuan selection and lost. Although they did not advance to the final, their talents and abilities are not ordinary, so the Haidong Branch School has included them. After graduation, according to their actual strength assessment, they will be assigned duties in the Haidong Upper Country.

  These three months of mid-term, for these old students, are both exciting and difficult. During 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 siblings from the same family, which is very delightful.

  As for saying it's hard to endure, it's because the old disciples usually cultivate in 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 Haichuan Academy were drinking tea and chatting. What they were talking about was naturally the hottest thing recently - the selection of Haichuan!

  "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 Sheng 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 have one too? 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 top ten cities in Donglai, it has always produced talented individuals, surely this time is no exception."

  A low hum of laughter rose 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 the story of 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, each with faces flushed red as if dripping blood, and felt secretly delighted. Seeing someone inquiring, he casually replied: "This is indeed my ignorance, I didn't know that my hometown had such young masters."

  "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 qualified to climb 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 in indignation. "I've already reached mid-level mastery as a mystic, 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," said Ge Wei Yue, "and that's what makes it worthy of being on the list."

  "This isn't a joke, I'm going to challenge the next rank and face Xuan Zong! It's much harder than facing another Xuan Shi." 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 said with a thoughtful tone, "which is to challenge the person on the list and defeat them in battle. If you win, 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 disciples to ascend the mountain, how can we go find Xu Yang and issue a challenge?" Someone raised a question. "There are Xuan Zong teachers guarding each peak, those people will protect their discovered candidates 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, taking 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 is as sharp as a torch," Ge Wei Yue said, patting his horse, "Wanting to kill Xu Yang, relying on one person's power may not be enough! Wei Yue did this in order to make people challenge him first and consume Xu Yang's strength under the name of a challenge. When he is exhausted, then launch a surprise attack and kill him!"
