Chapter 1052: Registration Undercurrents 2
A look on his face like he didnt appreciate it at all.
But Ouyang Hong sighed in relief after dropping off the xuan coins.
Moreover, he glanced at his numerical code,and itwas a little higher than some of the disciples of the Deng family.Thiswas the benefit of giving away more money than others. He was secretly happy and said to himself, I willdefinitelysucceed in this selection exam!
A few more disciples after him all bribed theold manwith xuan coins in broad daylight.
Moreover, anyone who paid a bribe will be ranked slightly higher. And the more money you give, the higher the ranking you receive.
Next.
Lin Dongwalked over andsaid politely, Bai familys disciple, Lin Dong.
He had to say this because the Bai familywas givenfour spots.
Theold manlooked up at Lin Dong.
Lin Dong stood there without moving.
Theold mankept staringat him before glancing over at the large pile of xuan coins on his table.
Lin Dong knew what that glance meant, but he didnt have any xuan coins. He had absolutely zero money on him, so whatwas he going tobring out for a bribe?
At this time, Bai Xiong stepped forward and smiled, My lord, this is a small gesture from the Bai family. I hope you will accept it.
Theold manpulled back his disdainful gaze and took the bag of xuan coins. He weighed it with his hand, and his expression instantly became dissatisfied. He looked at Bai Xiong coldly and said, Thats it?
Bai Xiong said with embarra.s.sment, The Bai family recently went through an upheaval, so money has become a little tight. I hope that my lord can forgive
Before Bai Xiong could finish, the old man sneered, Why are you partic.i.p.ating when you dont even have money? Do you think the Misty Cloud Academy is that easy to get into? What does your Bai familys upheaval have anything to f.u.c.king do with me? Humph~!
After saying that, he wrote a long number on Lin Dongs wooden sign to denote a ranking at the back.
Next!
Lin Dong clenched his fists and glanced over at Luo Tian.
Luo Tian shook his head to show not to act recklessly.
Bai Xiong stepped forward and said, Bai family, Bai Xiong.
The old man didnt even look at him and wrote down a number for a ranking in the back.
Next!
Bai Xiongs heart sank when he saw his ident.i.ty number.
Bai Linglingwalked over andsaid, Bai family, Bai Lingling.
Theold manwas faintly stunned when he heard a voice that wasextremelypleasing to his ears. He looked up at Bai Lingling andwas immediately attractedby her beauty. Herevealed a smileand said, Little girl, youre a disciple of the Bai family? Look how soft your hands look. Do you want to rank a little higher? If you do, come to the Skywatch Tower tonight andhave adrink with me. I guarantee that your ranking will be in the top 100.
Top 100!
Thiswas a ranking that had never appeared in Towering Cloud City before.
These rankings were all fixed internally, either by having connections or having someone paying a lot of money to get them.
The surrounding people gasped in shock.
Bai Linglings hands were being held and caressed like crazy by theold man. She was angry about it, but she didnt dare to offend theold man. The reason was that not only was her ranking involved, but Luo Tian, who was right behind her, his ranking was under the control of thisold manas well.
As she was contemplating how to deal with the situation, Luo Tian stepped forward and pulled Bai Linglings hand back.Hethen said with a smile, Im sorry, but shes my wife.If my lord wants to find someone to accompany you for a drink, I can come and keep you company.
After saying that, he kissed Bai Lingling on her lips in front of theold man.
Bai Lingling tried to struggle free, but Luo Tianhad held ontoher tightly. She could only lower her head afterward, with her cheeks going red.
Luo Tianthensaid, Were already an old married couple, so why are you so embarra.s.sed? The lord isnt an outsider; hes an examination officer of the great Misty Cloud Academy!
The old mans face instantly changed before he wrote a string of numbers on Bai Linglings ident.i.ty wooden plate denoting a ranking in the back. Hethenstared coldly at Luo Tian and mocked, A flower stuck on a pile of dung. What bad luck. Next!
Bai Lingling pulled away from Luo Tian and walked off to the side.
Luo Tian then said with a smile, Bai family, Luo Tian.
Just when theold manwas about to write it down, anotherold manwhispered something in his ear.
The white-robed old man immediatelylooked up andasked, You are Luo Tian?
Luo Tian nodded, Thats right. Is there a problem?
The white-robed old man sneered, You dont have the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the selection.
Luo Tian was immediately stunned before asking, Why am I not qualified?
The white-robed old manswept his gaze onLuo Tian to sense his cultivation, then said, Your cultivation hasnt reached the Condensation Element realm yet. One of thetests of the selectionis that partic.i.p.ants must have reached the Condensation Element as a minimum.
d.a.m.n you!
Bai Xiong leaped over and shouted, There were a bunch of people ahead of us below the Condensation Element realm! How come they can partic.i.p.ate and my boss cant?!
The white-robed old man smiled with his eyes narrowed and replied, This was a rule that I just came up with. What about it? Unhappy with it? If you arent happy about it, you can forgo partic.i.p.ating in the exam.
Bai Xiong was furious after hearing that.
Luo Tian put his arms out to hold Bai Xiong back. He thensaid with a smileat the white-robed old man, Are you deliberately making this difficult for me?
The white-robed old man wasnt shy about it, So what if I am?
Luo Tian replied, Nothing much. What can a small Four Elements ranker like me do about it?
Luo Tian then asked, Can I ask if theres going to be any more rule changes today?
The white-robed old man then replied, What about it? You still want to partic.i.p.ate in the selection exam?Do you think you canbreak through to the Condensation Element realm in a day?Kid, dont thinkthatyoure invincible just because youre a littlebitintelligent.Even if you were given a years time, you stillwouldntbe able tobreak through to the Condensation Element realm.
If a person wanted to break through to the Condensation Element 1st rank from the Four Elements 9th rank, doing it within a year was considered fast when there wasnt any spiritual medicine orspecialtreasures as support.
Luo Tian wasnt in a hurry and smiled, What if Idomanage to make a breakthrough in a single day?
A playful expression appeared on the old mans face as he said, Just based on you? Breaking through to the Condensation Element realm in a day? If you can break through within a day, I willdefinitelylet you partic.i.p.ate and give you a top 100 ranking.
Luo Tian raised his voice, Everyone heard it, right? You were the one that said it.
The surrounding crowd instantly broke out into discussions.
Just as Luo Tian was about to leave, the white-robed old man smiled coldly and said, A days time means before the sun sets. Right now, it is less than five hours before sunset, so I wouldreallylike to see how youare going tobreak through to the Condensation Element realm by then.
Breakingthrough into the Condensation Element realm in five hours?
Thiswas an impossible task!
Everyone knew that the white-robedold manwasdeliberatelymaking things difficult for Luo Tian.
Lin Dong and the Bai siblings were all trying to suppress their rage.
Luo Tian smiled and said, Before sunset is before sunset. But since my lord likes to play so much, why dont we just play a little bigger? If I break through to the Condensation Element realm before sunset, how about adding somethingelsebesides what youve just said?
The white-robed old man asked, Add on what?
Luo Tian replied, Lets bet on the xuan coins on your table. If I lose, Ill give you this sword. If you lose, all the xuan coins on the table will be mine.
After saying that, Luo Tian brought out the Heaven Sword.
