Chapter 261: Top Two
Noticing the smile in Su Rou's eyes, Xiao Diao's old face turned red, and he quickly turned around and put his palm on the stone tablet.
He didn't know why he was panicking, but this feeling... didn't seem bad.
Under the gazes of countless people, the dazzling light rose rapidly again, easily passing through the Human Ranking and the Earth Ranking, and finally stopped steadily at the second place on the Heaven Ranking, turning into the two words "Lin Diao".
The whole process took less than five seconds, even faster than Lin Changqiang. Looking at the figure casually walking back to the team, there was silence inside and outside the square. People were stunned and even wondered if there was something wrong with their eyes.
Starting from the top ten on the scale, all positions were basically occupied by super dynasties. However, today, four people from low-level dynasties actually made it directly to the Heavenly Ranking, and two of them took the top two spots?
"Could it be that the news is false, and they are not actually from the low-level dynasty?"
"It's possible. How can a dynasty that can cultivate such a strong person be of low level?"
There was a lot of discussion in the square. Su Kui, Qian Jun and others were also quite shocked. Only Su Rou on the side didn't think about anything else. Her eyes were full of surprise and admiration.
"I didn't realize you were so capable. I thought you were just bragging on the way." She looked left and right, as if she was meeting Xiao Diao for the first time, but she didn't look scared at all like when they first met.
"You mink..."
Xiao Diao's eyes widened, and he subconsciously wanted to say "Master Diao", but when he saw the envy in Su Rou's eyes, he got stuck and didn't know how to change his words for a moment. Lin Changqiang saw this and hurriedly came to the rescue in time.
"How could your elder brother Lin Diao lie?" He patted Xiao Diao's shoulder and looked at him with a sly smile, "Right, third brother~"
The drawn-out ending made Xiao Diao shudder and feel a chill, but before he could react, Lin Changqiang skillfully pulled his hand away and walked aside, looking at Su Kui and the people from the Daqian Dynasty.
"There are still five days left before the core area opens, and the next auction in Vientiane City will be held in three days. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we should just not leave Vientiane City and go to the core area together in five days, how about that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Kui was obviously delighted, and Xiao Diao's ears twitched and he glanced over secretly.
"I'm OK."
Su Kui answered quickly, and was extremely excited. He was originally still thinking about how to protect Su Rou and Liu Ruyan after entering the core area, but now he didn't have to think about it, just lie down!
"That's fine with me. Rather, that's what I originally thought. After all, my elder brother and the others will definitely head to the core area, and we can just meet at Baichao Mountain then."
Qian Jun nodded and said with a smile: "The auction in Wanxiang City is held every two months, and the scale is basically the largest in the ancient battlefield. In addition, we will enter the core area in a few days, so I think the auction items this time should be of good quality."
In five days they will have to enter the core area for the final battle. If anyone has previously obtained treasures that are not suitable for them, or things that cannot be used to improve their strength in a short period of time, there is a high probability that they will be put up for auction. Thinking of this, even Qian Jun is looking forward to it.
After discussing their opinions, the group naturally had no interest in being watched, and simply left the square under the gazes of everyone.
When night fell, everything that happened in front of the Nirvana Monument during the day spread throughout the city as expected. Everyone knew that some extraordinary people had come to Wanxiang City, and most people used it as a topic of conversation to express their own guesses. Of course, there were also a few people who were not in a good mood, such as the people from the Fengyun Dynasty.
"You mean, that Su Rou found two big legs, one of which is the Daqian Dynasty, and the other is the dynasty that occupied the first and second place on the Heavenly Ranking during the day?!"
In the spacious hall, the legendary number one on the Earth Ranking, the leader of the Fengyun Dynasty in Vientiane City, and the powerful Four Elements Nirvana—Luo Tong, was standing in front of him with his head lowered, and it was Yan Mo and others who wanted to ambush Su Kui. "Brother Luo Tong, we can't do anything. Who would have thought that after just one night, Su Kui and the others would get along so well with the people from the two dynasties and go everywhere with them!" Yan Mo had a sad face, and Li Jian and the other four behind him followed suit, looking heartbroken.
Although they had expected this day to come and had made preparations on the way back, and what they heard in the city not long ago made them happy, they felt that they had one more excuse, but since the mission had failed and their superiors were furious, they still had to show the right attitude.
"Is there any need to think about this? We can all see that there is a treasure hidden in Su Rou's body. Do you think those monsters can't see it?"
Luo Tong rolled his eyes and looked at the grief of Yan Mo and the other four who seemed to be cast in the same mold. He felt a nameless anger rising in his chest, but there was really nothing he could do about it.
Fortunately, he had thought of giving his leader a surprise and did not report Su Rou's news first, otherwise he would have been angered again this time.
"Go away, go away, this won't happen again."
He waved his hand impatiently. Seeing this, Yan Mo, Li Jian and others immediately ran out of the hall as if they had been pardoned. In another courtyard, Su Kui's face was also not looking good.
This slightly quiet courtyard was not quiet originally, but when Lin Changqiang and others moved in, many nearby dynasties almost ran away, even though the group did not look overbearing.
People’s hearts are unpredictable. Even if you do nothing, you may still be met with inexplicable hostility. When facing ordinary people, you can be vigilant and take precautions, but when facing someone who can destroy you at any time, it is better to stay away from them.
No matter what kind of person they were before entering the ancient battlefield, or whether they understood this principle or not, after living here for nearly a year, almost everyone understood this principle, because those who didn't understand had been eliminated, except for his sister Su Kui...
In the room, Su Kui stopped practicing, sighed, and looked out the window with some worry.
At the beginning, after knowing the strength of Lin Changqiang and others, he actually felt a lot more at ease. He felt that he was protected and finally didn't have to worry about his sister being taken away by people from the Fengyun Dynasty. However, this kind of protection made him feel unnatural.
It was too strange that he was willing to help her again and again even though they didn't know each other well. He couldn't help but wonder if Lin Changqiang and the others had also discovered the treasure in his sister's body and were looking for an opportunity to take it. However, the other party's strength didn't require this at all...
"Brother Lin Diao, you are amazing. I have been thinking about this martial art for a long time but still can't figure it out. You actually used it after reading it a few times!"
"Hehe, that's a piece of cake. Let alone the martial arts of creation, even if it's the martial arts of spirit, it won't take me long to master it~"
Suddenly a familiar voice was heard in the courtyard. Su Kui looked down and saw his sister holding the little mink's shoulders with admiration on her face. There were two clear pools in her bright eyes, and the little mink she held had red ears and a face full of pride and joy.
“……”Su Kui stood motionless like a sculpture, but his breathing became increasingly rapid.
Oh my god, it turns out you really want to attack my sister!
It's hard, the fist is hard.
This chapter should have been updated yesterday, but yesterday was my grandmother's 27th day of mourning. I went to the countryside during the day, got a pair of glasses and bought some clothes in the afternoon, and in the evening my parents and I treated my aunt to dinner, so I didn't have time to update. I'm sorry.
