Chapter 1739: Chapter 1739: Rumors Spread Everywhere

Hmm, hmm.

The lackey’s eyes shone brightly, and he nodded repeatedly, "Heh, this is brilliant. I want to see how Li Feng plans to establish himself at the Nine Layers Mountain."

"You don’t need me to tell you what to do, right?"

"Heh, I could never come up with a scheme like Boss Murong’s, but when it comes to spreading news, that’s my specialty. Just watch me."

With that, the lackey turned around and hurried away.

Murong Ye watched as the lackey disappeared in a flash, and a cold sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Li Feng, I hope you don’t get kicked out too soon."

"Did you hear?"

"What?"

At the White Tiger Camp of the Nine Layers Mountain, a female disciple approached a group of people and spoke to the girl next to her.

No doubt, even tomboys are the species that love gossip the most.

"A newcomer has arrived at our Nine Layers Mountain, reportedly with the demeanor of a military god. During the entrance assessment, he was extremely arrogant, easily breaking through the Martial Arts Five Gates, and even said he could pass such an assessment with his eyes closed."

"With his eyes closed, that’s pretty arrogant?"

"Who wouldn’t agree? He even said these kinds of assessments are just about picking remnants from the trash, utterly useless, too simple, and left him very disappointed."

"Does this guy have a death wish? What’s he implying? That we’re all trash? When I passed the Mechanical Path, I nearly died in there. So, am I the trash amongst the trash?"

"Uh, according to him, that’s about right."

The female disciple nodded dumbly, and the tomboy opposite immediately reached out and grabbed her throat.

"Ah, ah, you want to strangle me? But I didn’t say it, and I haven’t finished yet." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"What else did he say?"

"After passing the Martial Arts Gates, he went to the Martial Strategy Hall. He entered directly and came out after a while. Can you guess what he said?"

"How would I know? But the Martial Strategy Hall is terrifying. The Martial Arts Gates were scary enough, but that place is even more terrifying. It nearly scared me to death."

The female disciple remembered her experience entering the Martial Strategy Hall; she had come out propped up. It still haunted her.

Still, she barely made it through.

Just a fodder’s demeanor.

Saying this, the female disciple looked at her companion. "What evaluation did he get? How many times did the Martial Strategy Hall bell ring?"

"Guess."

"Hmm... Seeing how arrogant he is, it should have rung four times, right?"

The female disciple guessed, after all, four chimes were very impressive. One was for a foot soldier, two was for a slightly advanced foot soldier, and as for three, at most, it’s someone who could make it to a minor officer’s position.

In general, within the Nine Layers Mountain, anyone with fewer than four chimes is destined to be fodder. This is already widely acknowledged. In fact, at the Nine Layers Mountain, the competition for talent has turned into a prevalent trend.

But for more than four chimes, it’s one in ten thousand among the Nine Layers Mountain disciples. This probability might not seem low, but people tend to forget that those who are admitted to the Nine Layers Mountain have to be exceptional. Even if not one in a million, it’s at least one in several hundred thousand when considering their performances in both the written and martial entrance exams.

Usually, those disciples with General Level aptitude are perched high above, forming their own circles, and the resources they can access are many times that of others.

Enviable indeed.

"Heh, four chimes."

"It couldn’t possibly be five, right?"

The female disciple guessed again, seeing the other still shaking her head, she took a deep breath and said, "Could it be six?"

"Supposedly, the most talented in our Nine Layers Mountain right now only managed five chimes, and that’s Lord Murong from the Azure Dragon Camp. He’s recognized as a peerless talent and was even taken as a personal disciple by the Second Elder."

"You guessed right."

"It’s six chimes. After coming out of the Martial Strategy Hall, do you know what this guy said? He said that casually exerting a bit of effort, he thoroughly crushed the entire Nine Layers Mountain. Seems like the Nine Layers Mountain rightfully ranks at the bottom of the top ten sects."

"To be casually crushed by him, truly a heap of trash, boring, so boring."

"Did this guy really say that?" At this moment, someone nearby stepped forward, clearly having overheard the gossip too.

"Could it be fake?"

The girl immediately patted her chest and said, "I’m telling you, the one who oversaw the assessment was a buddy of my brother’s from the same camp, who personally told him when he got back."

"Not only did this guy say that, but he also wondered how the Nine Layers Mountain could be suppressed by a woman. However, since he’s here, he would naturally subdue the strongest one beneath him."

"Hiss, did he really say that?"

Everyone gasped. The implication in his words was obvious, the strongest woman in Nine Layers Mountain naturally referred to Si Kong Yu from the White Tiger Camp, the eldest daughter of the Vermilion Bird Family, but she was just a common talent.

Nonetheless, it didn’t hinder her strength. Last year, the White Tiger Camp overpowered the Azure Dragon Camp, primarily due to Si Kong Yu’s strategic prowess.

"Of course it’s true, and when this guy said it, he even had a perverted look on his face."

"You have to understand, Miss Si Kong is ranked in the top ten on the Fengyun List’s Earth List. In our Nine Layers Mountain, topping it is more than sufficient, yet he doesn’t even blink at her and boasts about subduing her beneath him."

"Outrageously arrogant."

"Exactly, Miss Si Kong is the soul of the White Tiger Camp, the pride of our women, and he dares to covet her."

"What’s this damned newcomer called?"

"I’m curious to see his caliber since he dares to boast like this."

Si Kong Yu has been at Nine Layers Mountain for two years, but she has already captured the hearts of all White Tiger Camp disciples, with female disciples following her and male disciples being her ardent supporters.

After all, Si Kong Yu is one of the ten most beautiful women in Ancestor Dragon City.

The number of people wanting to be her Guardian Angel is countless, and the entire White Tiger Camp sees itself as her Personal Guard Camp as well.

"Li Feng, his name is Li Feng."

"He also said he would come to the White Tiger Camp soon, and whoever dares to stop him from flirting and seducing would be beaten to a pulp."

"Li Feng, is it? If he dares to come to my White Tiger Camp, I will make him understand how red the flowers can be."

The gossip spread quickly, passing from person to person, growing more and more exaggerated. By the end, Li Feng had become like a demon king, directly intending to take Si Kong Yu away as a female slave and make her kneel and sing a song of conquest.

"Miss, Miss, I’ve found out. This is what they’re saying outside, and it’s getting more and more ridiculous."

Qing Yi rushed into Si Kong Yu’s tent, relaying the news she had gathered outside to Si Kong Yu.

"Is that all?"

"Is this not enough? The White Tiger Camp is buzzing about it. If Li Feng dares to come here, I’m afraid he’ll be beaten to death instantly."

The White Tiger Camp has three thousand disciples, and although most are only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Nine Layers Mountain is not an ordinary sect. Here, battle formations are also taught, and different formations provide different strength enhancements.

A hundred-man formation can break through Golden Core, while a thousand-man formation could make even those at the Golden Core Late Stage think twice.
