Chapter 4992 Acting?

"Elder Yang..."

Hearing Wen Kua's words, Tu Ran's tone inside the stone gate was obviously less unhappy, and he seemed to be a little surprised by Wen Kua's words.

Boom.

The stone gate opened, and a tall and strong man walked out.

He was wearing such a black tights, with bulging muscles, standing there like an iron tower, which made people feel scared.

However, his face looked a little thin, with heavy eye bags and dark circles, and he seemed not to have a good rest.

In theory, cultivators can do without sleep, and Tu Ran's state is very strange.

"Brother Tu."

Facing Tu Ran, Wen Kua did not dare to neglect him, and immediately bowed, then took out the spirit certificate engraved by Yang Dinghan and handed it over.

Tu Ran took the spiritual certificate, but did not read it in front of Wen Kuo. He turned around and returned to the stone gate: "Junior Brother Wen, you can go back and report. Just say that I received the spiritual certificate."

"..." Wen Kuo hesitated and bowed: "In this case, I will take my leave."

Wen Kuo was cautious with Tu Ran. The status of the fire-protecting disciples was obviously very high in the hearts of the fire sect disciples, which made people awe.

After Wen Kuo left, Tu Ran activated the spiritual certificate and read the contents inside.

After reading it, he crushed the spiritual certificate with a palm and fell into a brief silence.

After a while, he stood up and walked out of the stone gate, muttering to himself: "Yang Dinghan, today I killed this disciple named Chen Yang, and I have repaid your kindness to me. If you ask me to do this kind of thing in the future, I, Tu Ran, will never agree."

After walking out of the stone gate, Tu Ran's eyes showed a hint of hesitation and entanglement, and finally became firm, and muttered: "Junior Brother Chen, I was also forced to do it, don't blame me."

...

"Sure enough, he didn't leave."

When Lu Xian came back and saw Chen Yang was still there, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt that his guess was probably right.

All this was planned by Yang Dinghan. Tu Ran would cooperate with Chen Yang to act out a battle, and finally lose to Chen Yang, and give up the seat of the fire-protecting disciple to Chen Yang.

"Although Tu Ran is the weakest among the ten fire-guarding disciples, Chen Yang is definitely not his opponent.

If Yang Dinghan hadn't been behind the scenes, how could Chen Yang dare to challenge him?"

Lv Xian despised Chen Yang, who got in through the backdoor, but he still couldn't figure out that Chen Yang became a fire-guarding disciple, so what?

At that time, I'm afraid many people will point their spears at him and come to challenge him.

After all, the two-star nine-level disciples in the Fire Gate are still confident in dealing with a two-star eight-level cultivator.

"Deacon Lu, you're back."

Just when Lu Xian was thinking secretly, Chen Yang greeted him.

Lv Xian didn't have the previous indifference, but still pretended to know nothing, and said: "How about it, have you thought it through?"

Chen Yang thought Lu Xian would blast him, but he didn't expect that after a while, the other party was actually a lot more polite.

He bowed and said, "I have thought it through. Please advise me, Deacon Lu, on what I should do next."

"Okay, then you follow me to register first, and then decide who to challenge."

In Lu Xian's opinion, Chen Yang will definitely challenge Tu Ran, but he still has to go through the process.

The two of them registered immediately, and Lu Xian took out the list of ten fire-guarding disciples and handed it to Chen Yang: "This is the list of fire-guarding disciples, as well as simple information. After you read it, decide who to challenge."

"Is there a strength ranking?" Chen Yang asked.

Lu Xian raised his eyebrows, with an expression of seeing through but not saying it: "Fire-guarding disciples will not fight each other, so there is no strength ranking. However, the approximate strength gap can still be seen. At present, Tu Ran, the last one to become a fire-guarding disciple, is slightly weaker than the others."

"Tu Ran."

Chen Yang looked at the names on the list and thought about whether to challenge the weakest one, the strongest one, or the middle one.

Challenging the weakest one can keep a low profile, so that he can surprise the opponent at the Five Elements Ceremony.

But doing so also has troubles.

He already knew that the Fire Sect was publicly selecting fire-guarding disciples. When the time came, cultivators from the outside world would definitely pick on the weak ones to challenge the fire-guarding disciples.

If others knew that he could only defeat Tu Ran, they would treat him as a weak one, and would inevitably waste their energy and time to fight.

As for challenging the strongest fire-guarding disciple, the advantage was that Chen Yang could test his own strength.

Although the Fire Sect was at the bottom of the five sects, the strongest fire-guarding disciple was at least at the top of the Five Elements Ceremony.

By fighting against him, Chen Yang could have a general understanding of the strength of the Five Elements Ceremony.

But doing so would make him stand out, and he would be targeted during the Five Elements Ceremony.

Selecting a fire-guarding disciple with medium strength could avoid the disadvantages of the previous two options, but there was no great benefit either.

After thinking about it, Chen Yang chose the conservative option and chose one of the fire-guarding disciples with medium strength to challenge.

He asked Lv Xian, "Deacon Lv, which of the fire-guarding disciples with medium strength are they?"

Hearing this question, Lv Xian was stunned.

Isn't it Tu Ran?

He didn't understand whether Chen Yang was acting or really wanted to make things more difficult for himself.

Of course, this was none of his business.

But just as he was about to answer Chen Yang's question, a voice came from behind: "Chen Yang, you don't have to choose. Among the ten fire-guarding disciples, I am the weakest. No one will give up the weakest and challenge the stronger one."

Hearing this, Chen Yang looked back and saw a strong man he didn't recognize.

But this strong man had a thin face and dark circles under his eyes, as if he was malnourished.

"Tu Ran."

When Butler Lu saw the person coming, his eyes lit up, he glanced at Chen Yang, and said secretly: "As expected, Tu Ran came to the door without him having to ask. The scene they played was really similar."

Chen Yang didn't expect that someone would come to his door. He said to Tu Ran: "This senior brother, I don't..."

"If you don't challenge me, then I'll challenge you, okay?"

Tu Ran seemed to be impatient. He snorted coldly and walked outside, saying: "Deacon Lu, arrange this battle immediately. After the fight, I have to continue practicing in seclusion."

"yes."

Lu Xian responded politely and started to follow Tu Ran.

Seeing this, Chen Yang changed his mind and said, "Deacon Lu, it's up to me to decide who to challenge. I didn't say I wanted to challenge this senior brother Tu Ran."

Lu Xian retracted his step and looked at Chen Yang and then Tu Ran in embarrassment, wondering why the two of them were trying to be so real. He had already seen through it.

"Junior Brother Chen, do you look down on me?"

Tu Ran stared at Chen Yang coldly, his thin face lifeless, giving the impression that he was a dead person.

"No, I'm not looking down on you."

Chen Yang shook his head, walked up to Tu Ran, looked at Tu Ran, frowned and said, "I'm just curious, how did you persist after suffering so much torture?"

There was doubt in Tu Ran's eyes, and he said coldly: "It's so mysterious, I don't even know what you are talking about."
