Only My Way

#51 - The Hidden Ones

“First of all, I am very pleased that this triennial gang competition has achieved complete success. The contestants have successfully shown us the outstanding performance of the new generation of members. As we all know, they are our future…”

Not only Ling Wuyuan was uninterested in the gang leader's somewhat formulaic pleasantries.

Even the others around him felt the same.

Compared to continuing to listen to these uninformative words, everyone preferred to enthusiastically discuss the contestants who had appeared earlier.

Taking the many newcomers around Ling Wuyuan as an example, besides liking to discuss Yang Zutao, who won with the status of the young gang leader, the most popular topic was a person who joined the White Crow Gang one term earlier than Ling Wuyuan and others, would leave the gang training camp next month, but had already successfully participated in this round of the gang competition as a [Body Tempering Realm] cultivator.

In the eyes of the surrounding newcomers.

The other party's existence was simply the face of the gang training camp!

After all.

Looking at the hundreds of newcomers in the entire gang training camp, the other party was the only one who could participate in the gang competition.

Although his realm was only just stepping into the [Body Tempering Realm], and most of his energy was devoted to the cultivation of his skills, the cultivation of martial arts seemed a bit sparse. He was easily eliminated by other contestants not long after he took the stage. He was a classic one-round tour, just showing his face.

But the other party's existence, at least, gave the many newcomers in the gang training camp a little bit of participation in this gang competition.

So everyone's discussion about him was naturally relatively high, and they seemed very excited.

Someone sitting not far from Ling Wuyuan casually sighed:

“That senior who will be able to leave the gang training camp next month seems to be called Hu Wei. He should be seventeen years old. Although his grades have always been among the best in his class, I really didn’t expect that he had already broken through to the [Body Tempering Realm]. I always thought he was only in the top five of his class…”

Soon, another person chimed in and said:

“More than you didn’t expect it?”

“Didn’t you see those people in their class, all with surprised expressions?”

“Even the person who usually ranks first in their class had a face full of disbelief.”

“It seems that Senior Brother Hu Wei has been hiding his strength all along…”

“This time’s gang competition, he should be considered a dark horse. I estimate that he is likely to be selected by an elder or hall master through this opportunity and become their personal disciple. This time, he can be said to be soaring into the sky…”

“Moreover…”

After saying this, the person glanced slightly at a few people in the class, and Ling Wuyuan was one of them.

Then, he said with some suspicion:

“How do you know that there isn’t someone in our class who likes to hide their strength?”

“I feel that there are several people in our class who usually don’t like to show off.”

As soon as these words came out.

Several listeners immediately agreed.

“That’s true…”

Then they all looked at those guys who they thought were likely to be hiding their strength.

If the relationship between them was good, they would simply ask: “How far are you from the [Body Tempering Realm]?”

Regarding this situation.

Ling Wuyuan just watched calmly, without getting involved.

However, he could perceive that, besides himself, there were indeed a few people in his class who were hiding their strength, and even one of them was really close to the [Body Tempering Realm]. He estimated that even if the other party’s single-arm strength was not nine hundred pounds, it must be at least eight hundred pounds. Give the other party another two or three months, and perhaps they could really successfully advance to the [Body Tempering Realm].

However.

Even if he successfully advanced.

Without a good opportunity like the gang competition to show his face in public, the treatment he enjoyed would inevitably be lower.

This was unavoidable.

Even if the skills were correct and the level was correct, but the version was wrong, the strength would naturally be reduced.

Time waits for no one is like this.

However.

That person’s actual age was one or two years younger than that guy named Hu Wei.

Presumably.

His cultivation aptitude should be better…

Thinking of this.

Looking at the other party whose expression was more or less unwilling, Ling Wuyuan just shook his head slightly.

He continued to look at the top three in this round of the gang competition who were standing on the martial arts field to receive awards.

Looking at their faces, although slightly reserved, but always hard to hide the joy, Ling Wuyuan somewhat trance thought that if he had not gone into the mountains to hunt more than a year ago, had not encountered those three experience babies and the wolf pack, had not obtained a large sum of windfall and a large number of secrets, in order to obtain further resources, he probably could only choose to participate in this round of the gang competition, showing some ability, and get a decent ranking.

No way.

Under normal circumstances.

Standing out in the gang competition was the fastest and most stable way to rise, and the actual efficiency was far stronger than other methods.

As a guy without a background.

Besides that, he had no choice at all.

However.

Now he, after accidentally obtaining a large amount of resources, no longer needed to rely on the White Crow Gang for the acquisition of resources and skills.

He stayed here only because he simply liked the stable environment here.

The so-called gang competition.

There was no way to provide him with anything useful.

So.

He naturally had no reason to participate in the gang competition.

There was no need to think about whether he needed to show his face and show some ability.

He only needed to silently lurk in the shadows, silently grow further, silently become more powerful and more intelligent, without doing anything superfluous…

At this moment.

As the top three of the gang competition successively received their prizes.

Suddenly.

The originally bright sky suddenly changed color.

In the vast rumbling sound like billions of thunderclaps exploding at the same time.

Countless streams of light appeared from the western sky!

Towards the corner of the sky in the east, they quickly covered it!

The appearance of those streams of light dyed everything under the sky with incomparably gorgeous colors!

Faced with this somewhat unprepared situation.

After a moment of愣, the entire White Crow Gang suddenly echoed with bursts of exclamations and cheers.

“[Sky Change]?”

“This is a rare sight in several years!”
