Chapter 51 Slap in the face

Soon, a manager took the ranking list of the New Year Beast Competition, and his face was excited. This manager named He Guang hosted the New Year Beast Competition for many years, and his style has always been calm and restrained. Such excitement is something that the elders have never seen in the previous New Year Beast Competition.

"Manager He, has the record set in this competition set again?" Ye Lan asked while signaling Manager He to open the note and asked with a smile, feeling strange.

"It's five hundred and twenty-one, a very powerful record." He Guang couldn't help but be happy.

"Five hundred and twenty-one? Haha, great." The eldest lady Ye Lan has always been calm, but she was really scared and smiled at Master Quan next to her, "Uncle Qi, Fan's progress this year is beyond my expectations."

Ye Lan, until now, still thought that his teacher Bi Fan won the double crown. At this time, no matter how calm his teacher was, he couldn't hold on his face. He was extremely strange for a moment and could not tell what his expression was.

"Haha, this time the double crown... seems not to be a fifth young man, but a newcomer." Manager He had already understood it clearly, and secretly glanced at Shi Ziquan, naturally understood what the expression represented, and quickly announced the results.

"Newcomer?" Ye Lan paused his smile and asked.

As for all the elders sitting, they held their breath for a moment and waited for the following text. At this time, they seemed to have confirmed something from Master Quan's strange expression: It seems that this old man had known that the double crown had changed hands long ago.

"Yes, he is the medicinal manager of Wu Zhaofeng, named Lin Tao... I believe the eldest lady has a little impression. Moreover, he also realized the breakthrough in this New Year's Beast Competition and has been promoted to a martial artist." Manager He responded carefully.

Lin Tao was demoted from the Elite Hall, which is well-known. Manager He was naturally a little sensitive when he mentioned him, for fear that Ye Lan would still have grudges, which would arouse anger. However, Lin Tao is indeed the double champion, which is an indisputable fact.

"Lin Tao? Martial Artsman?"

"Who is Lin Tao? How did he do it?"

"I don't know, I don't seem to have heard of it..."

A stone caused a thousand waves, and many elders immediately discussed.

Lin Tao's reputation is indeed not very famous. After all, Ao Shi Sect has millions of disciples, even the headquarters of Ao Shi Sect, there are tens of thousands of people, and even those with the same name and surname, there are too many to count.

Of course, if Manager He reminds him, Ye Lan will be the exception

"Ah?" He couldn't help but feel surprised. Ye Lan's smile disappeared immediately. He stretched out his hand and took the booklet in Manager He's hand, and glared at him.

Group No. 8 Team, Captain Wu Zhaofeng Lin Tao Personal No. 1: Wu Zhaofeng Lin Tao

The first one on the list is Lin Tao's name

There is only one Lin Tao on Wumiao Peak, and Ye Lan is not so forgetful. However, her future son-in-law, Bi Fan, is in the second place. At this moment, this name actually seems abrupt from this booklet.

"Lin Tao, was it the one who was demoted from the Elite Hall?"

"Didn't you see the eldest lady's face? It's him right?"

"Khan, how old is he? He is probably only thirteen or fourteen years old... At this age, we were only an intermediate warrior at most. He was promoted to a martial artist, a wizard."

If the elders of the Seven Peaks can still control their achievements in the 521 year beasts, after reaching the conclusion that they are promoted to a martial artist, the discussion is unprecedentedly enthusiastic, which is in sharp contrast to the silence and silence of Shi Ziquan.

Ye Lan was also difficult to accept for a while. He even suspected that the person below made a mistake. Of course, she still had a little bit of rationality. The New Year's Beast Competition and the major traditional program could not make any mistakes.

Seeing Ye Lan holding the booklet in a daze, Manager He coughed and said, "Madam, look at this award ceremony, will this award ceremony start immediately?"

This reminder made Ye Lan quickly come to his senses, raised the corner of his mouth, and smiled back: "Of course."

"Yes, Madam." Manager He was relieved and immediately announced loudly, "The award ceremony begins, let the first three New Year Beast Teams come to the stage to receive the award."

"Let's go, receive the award." A Tongman was the most active person. He had always been unruly and knew how to put Lin Tao in front and kept giggling.

Lin Tao walked onto the podium surrounded by everyone. At this moment, Master Bi Fan was like a defeated rooster, falling to the end. It seemed that on the stage to receive the award was not honor, but shame. But for him, this was indeed a shame.

Most of the award-winning disciples of Ao Shizong in these three teams are old faces from previous generations. Only Lin Tao is an extremely strange face. Instead, he was recognized at a glance, overwhelmed Shi Bifan and others and became the focus of the public.

Lin Tao showed his face in front of the elders of Ao Shizong for the first time. It was so earth-shaking, which was really something he himself never thought of.

For a moment, countless waves of detecting internal force shot towards Lin Tao. At this time, Lin Tao simply did not hide it and directly exerted his martial arts aura, allowing these men, women, and young people to detect it.

For these powerful people who are basically in the martial arts cultivation level, just a breath, they completely confirmed a fact-Lin Tao's martial arts cultivation level is unquestionable.

As a result, those eyes looking at Lin Tao seemed to have lit up a little more

The elders of the Seven Peaks were even beginning to think about how to win this genius to their own mountain. The three female elders were even thinking about whether there were any handsome female disciples in this lineage to seduce Lin Tao to be his son-in-law.

Among these people, Shi Ziquan is naturally an exception. However, he is also the one who examines Lin Tao the most carefully. Although Lin Tao is only a master of a formation in his heart, and his current amazing speed cannot fully represent the future. However, he already feels that this person will become a stumbling block for his grandson and a big tree that covers his light one day.

Even a trace of disharmonious thoughts had already arisen in his heart.

"Lin Tao, come up." In the past, the awards were held by Manager He below. This time, the eldest wife Ye Lan stood up and presented the generous prizes and the badge of the double crown with both hands.

Lin Tao walked up: "Thank you, Madam."

"You didn't disappoint me." Ye Lan smiled lovingly, carefully put on the badge for Lin Tao, and patted him on the shoulder, "You stay later, I want to talk to you alone."

Lin Tao thought for a moment and smiled and said, "Go off the stage with the prize."

Hand-press

From beginning to end, he had no resentment towards the eldest wife Ye Lan, nor was he flattered, and was very calm.

Lin Tao knew very well that Ye Lan's attitude changed only because of her change in strength. This was just a show, which was not enough to convince her, let alone any wavering in her position with her junior sister Shi Yudai.

When will Ye Lan be willing and able to unite her heart and mouth, Lin Tao will face her with true sincerity.

It is obviously too early to talk about these things now.

Next, Ye Lan also awarded the second teacher Bi Fan. Although her approach was exactly the same as when facing Lin Tao, the teacher Bi Fan's face was always blue and purple. In his heart, he had deep resentment towards Lin Tao, who had created great shame for him.

It is not even an exaggeration to say it is hatred.

"Lin Tao, I hope you don't give me a chance, because in my heart, you are just a death list. I must let you die, and let you die miserable."

"Fan'er, I know you're very frustrated." Ye Lan, even though he couldn't see what Master Bi Fan was thinking, he could still see his knot in his heart and smiled meaningfully, "A failure in a game and a temporary backwardness does not mean anything. In my heart, you are still the first genius of Ao Shizong. Of course, as long as you can keep the lead, my expectations for you will never change."

The leader of a sect should pay attention to the overall situation. If you give Lin Tao a date, you cannot give Master Bi Fan a blow. Ye Lan felt Master Bi Fan's aggrievance, so he said this.

What's more, it is still impossible to determine whether Lin Tao can surpass Master Bifan to replace the first genius of Ao Shizong. After all, Master Bifan is already at the peak of the 49th century, which is a real lead.

Even his direct identity and his background in the Tianjiao Sect are simply a hidden advantage that Lin Tao cannot match. Even if Lin Tao becomes the number one genius of Ao Shizong, it is still unknown whether Ye Lan can change the position of Shi Bifan's future son-in-law.

"Fan'er firmly believes in the words of the eldest lady, and Bi will fight for it." Shi Bifan heard what Ye Lan meant. Although Shi Yudai was getting colder and colder towards him, as long as Ye Lan's support, he still had a strong sense of security.

"Yeah. In this way, I'll be relieved." Ye Lan said with a very loving smile.

After the award ceremony, everyone dispersed, Lin Tao stayed as promised, and talked alone with his eldest wife Ye Lan in the same room.

Ye Lan was obviously much more polite to Lin Tao. She even apologized for the last time she injured Lin Tao: "Lin Tao, I hope that the past has not left a shadow in your heart. I still said the same thing, I apologized for my violent means, but my starting point is undoubtedly to let you abandon your children's love and practice with all your heart. Now, are you aware of your own gains?"

Ye Lan not only exonerated herself, but also gilded herself in the face, owing Lin Tao's progress to her severity.

Of course, Lin Tao just laughed it off: "I have forgotten all those things."

"Okay, you have such a bright mind at such a young age. You are indeed a man who stands tall and upright." Ye Lan just thought it was his own words that completely touched Lin Tao, so he simply struck while the iron was hot and said with a smile, "Lin Tao, you are the youngest martial artist of Ao Shizong now, and your future is limitless. I have decided to let you return to the Elite Hall and become a top disciple of the Elite Hall. You can report it tomorrow."

"No need." Lin Tao refused Ye Lan's invitation without thinking about it.

If he entered Ao Shi Sect at the beginning just to obtain the resources for cultivation, he is now a martial artist. Martial artsman level, ordinary warriors who go out must respectfully call him "teacher commander". With this strength, he is already qualified to find resources and explore the world by himself.

At this time, what is an elite hall of Ao Shizong?

To put it bluntly, it is no different from a prison. When Lin Tao goes in again, he will suffer, suffer, and be in the way, but will be limited. What's more, there are too many secrets in him that are inconvenient to disclose.

Therefore, even if Cang Lan, the Supreme Master of Ao Shizong, is resurrected, he cannot be touched.

"You are not going to go in? But why is that?" Ye Lan did not expect Lin Tao's answer at all. She thought Lin Tao would be grateful and was overjoyed.

"No, this is just my personal habit. I found that practicing alone seems to be much faster than entering some groups of people." Lin Tao smiled faintly, "If the eldest lady really thinks that my future is limitless, giving me absolute freedom is much better than entering the Elite Hall ten thousand times."

"Absolute freedom, how do you say it?" Ye Lan was puzzled.

"It's very simple. Ao Shizong can let me enter and exit all places except for the forbidden area of ​​Yunfeng. Because my cultivation pays great attention to the environment, artistic conception, and sudden inspiration. And this may be when the sunrise of Chaoyang Peak, stepping under the waterfall of Yunfeng..." Lin Tao said seriously and magnificently.

When these words were chewed carefully, Ye Lan seemed to be able to find some resonance. After a moment of silence, she finally nodded with a smile: "Okay, I promise you. But I also want to remind you that the seven inheritances of Ao Shizong have been rolling for hundreds of miles. The rules of each line are different. Each line has good people and bad people. Give you freedom, it is like throwing a goldfish from the fish tank into the sea. Although the living space has expanded, the danger will also double. You must consider it clearly."

"I've thought about it long ago." Lin Tao nodded and smiled, "If I offended the sect's rules, I will be willing to be punished; if I accidentally miss Qingqing's life, I will admit my destiny."

"Well, I will send you a gold medal to you in time. In addition, although you are not in the Elite Hall, you will enjoy the treatment of the Elite Hall disciples. I hope that at this time next year, I will see your wonderful performance. If there is no other request, you can go down and celebrate with your companions."

"Thank you, Madam, for your support." Lin Tao stood up and left with great satisfaction.

If you have strength, you are bargaining chips.

Being able to obtain absolute freedom in the Ao Shizong except for the forbidden area is the right that only the elders have. Lin Tao is just a fourteen-year-old outer disciple, and this is definitely the first time that he has made the first move

Lin Tao has only one purpose, which is to obtain the greatest freedom and authority, take root and sprout on the fertile soil of Ao Shizong, and continue to strengthen himself.

No sect will be stingy with genius disciples. Rules are formulated to be broken. For Ye Lan, it is not unlimited to give Lin Tao freedom. At this time next year, if Lin Tao does not make any obvious progress, she can recover the gold medal of pass the level at any time.

The conversation between Lin Tao and Ye Lan ended. Outside the sect, Shi Fangyuan, A Tongman, Lan Bei, and hundreds of disciples of Ao Shi Sect were waiting for Lin Tao's return.

In addition to some young disciples, there were even some gray-haired little elders. These people learned that Lin Tao had entered the realm of a martial artist at the age of fourteen, and came to look up to him or even ask for advice.

When they saw Lin Tao appear, they immediately rushed forward. For a moment, they flattered, made friends, and discussed a lot of messy problems, which directly overwhelmed Lin Tao.

"Everyone let me go. My brother has just participated in the New Year's Beast Competition and has internal injuries. Let's talk about anything else some time." Shi Fangyuan shouted helplessly.

"We haven't had a meal yet," A Tongman directly took the giant axe and forced everyone to open a passage. After some trouble, the three of them broke through in a mess.

It was still the second half of the night, and it was nearly an hour and a half before dawn. Shi Fangyuan, A Tongman and Lan Bei were still immersed in the joy of the double crown, and they drank until dawn. So the group went straight to Lin Tao's Wumao Peak, which was relatively quiet.

When they arrived at Wumiao Peak, Lin Tao ordered the martial servants to prepare some wine and food, and the four of them sat down to drink and talk.

"Brother Tao, I'm ashamed. Fortunately, you are in this New Year Beast Competition. Otherwise, my Shi Fangyuan would do good things and bad things. Once everyone is surrounded by the New Year Beast, the consequences will be unimaginable." Shi Fangyuan was still sighing.

"Brother Fang Yuan, Manzi, Senior Sister Lan, don't say anything. I know that you have done a lot of work behind my back for me. If you are just this, I can't afford it."
