Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 188 Hu Yanfei

As the distance closed, Wu Xian also got a clear look at the other party's appearance and the lineup of the Golden Scroll.

A guy who looked to be in his early twenties, with a level five spiritual power cultivation, dressed and had a demeanor that didn't resemble a scroll painter. He looked more like a player from a club, but he wasn't wearing a club uniform or having a club badge on his chest.

But that's not the point. The point is that this guy is even more extravagant than him, with three gold scrolls in his hand.

First, there was the giant demonic wolf beneath him, over two meters tall, a four-star gold-ranked wolf with dark purple fur all over its body. Its cold eyes flashed with dark purple lightning, and its mane resembled that of a lion, exuding an imposing aura.

Then there's the humanoid mech at the very front, a six-star gold scroll. Its design and art style are vastly different from Pillar, but its strength is still considerable. It's surrounded by various powerful firepower devices, and the cannons roar.

Finally, beside the young man was a humanoid scroll, a six-star golden scroll, tall and strong, with white hair and beard, clearly the image of a middle-aged strong man. Flame energy surged around him, and his fists were also wrapped in scorching flames, obviously a fire attribute scroll.

The three golden scrolls each have a slightly different style.

He doesn't seem like a club player.

"An independent player?" Wu Xian was secretly surprised.

It's important to understand that compared to club players, independent players face significantly greater challenges in terms of development and entry into the Gold League, and they also require a privileged family background.

Zhu Zi's heavy footsteps naturally alerted the other party. After seeing Wu Xian's two golden scrolls, they were clearly surprised, with an expression of being stunned by his handsomeness.

Of course, the main concern is vigilance.

Sure enough, the burly man with fire attributes turned around and glared at Wu Xian.

"Wow, you're pretty good, buddy. You run that fast?" Wu Xian wasn't hostile at all. As long as others didn't cause trouble, he couldn't be bothered to bully the other contestants. "Need any help?"

"You want to join forces with me?"

The young man's eyes held a strange look, revealing a hint of wariness and suspicion.

"If you want to join forces, it's not impossible." Wu Xian nodded and smiled, secretly considering how to win him over.

Being around the same age as her mentor, and being able to progress from an independent player to an advanced challenger, definitely shows she has some ability and skill.

Any independent player who can enter the Gold Rank League is someone who is not short of money, and the family behind them must be a wealthy, powerful and influential entity in the local area.

This is... very important!

For some reason, Wu Xian suddenly had a feeling that this person might be connected with the Four Little Gods of Wealth.

"Why should I believe you?" The young man clearly couldn't easily trust Wu Xian.

After all, this was his second time participating in the challenge. Last month, he failed in all three rounds of challenges because he was too trusting of others.

Wu Xian smiled slightly, and with a thought, the Pleiades Star Lord beside him let out a cry [the Crow of Dawn].

In an instant, the hundreds and thousands of insect-like monsters were so terrified that they trembled in fear, and many low-level insect monsters were so frightened that they foamed at the mouth and died convulsing.

The young man was clearly awestruck by the divine power of the Pleiades Star Lord. His eyes were fixed on the Pleiades Star Lord, and his breathing was rapid. "What an amazing golden scroll! I wonder which master created it?"

Wu Xian smiled without saying a word, but silently joined the battle, controlling Pleiades Star Lord and Pillar Brother to help deal with the remaining insect monsters.

After it was over, the two looked at each other and then officially got to know each other.

"Hu Yanfei, from Huyan City," the young man proactively introduced himself.

Wu Xian's eyes lit up. Goodness, just based on the fact that his name is the same as the city's, he can't be an ordinary person.

They are at least at the level of "Brahmins in a county town".

"Wu Xian, courtesy name Gongming, comes from the Underworld Club of Yaoyang City."

"Words?" Hu Yanfei seemed somewhat surprised. "Yaoyang City Underworld Club? That little club that's been making headlines lately?"

“Exactly,” Wu Xian nodded. “Brother Huyan seems to be an independent player. I wonder if you would be interested in developing your career at my Underworld Club?”

"Sorry, not interested." Hu Yanfei shook his head and smiled. "If I wanted to join a club, I would have done so long ago."

He was more interested in Wu Xian's two golden scrolls than the Underworld Club.

“No problem~ We can get to know each other slowly,” Wu Xian said, not in a hurry. “Now that my Underworld Club has entered the Gold Rank League, Brother Hu Yan will naturally see the potential of my Underworld Club.” Hu Yanfei smiled and didn’t say anything more.

During their subsequent journey together, Hu Yanfei was repeatedly amazed by the formidable combat power of Pleiades Star Lord and Pillar Brother.

The desire was practically overflowing from his eyes.

"Strange, isn't your Underworld Club supposed to have a necromancer theme?" Hu Yanfei asked curiously.

"Yes and no. As an ambitious club, our Underworld Club will naturally not be limited to necromancy scrolls."

The two maintained a certain distance from each other, and their conversation had an awkward tone.

"is it?"

Hu Yanfei's expression was strange, clearly not taking Wu Xian's words seriously.

How could any club with any ambition be established in a poor, remote place like Yaoyang City?
You know, for so many years, everyone has known that the competition in Yaoyang City is less intense, yet no one has gone to Yaoyang City to establish a club.

"Of course, our Underworld Club is a group of young people with ideals and ambitions."

When introducing your own company, you naturally have to put on a good front. Having been a beast of burden for so many years in my past life, I know this all too well.

Hu Yanfei didn't say anything more, but silently walked towards the finish line with Wu Xian.

……

Spirit Master Alliance, Challenge Team.

While league leaders have always paid close attention to the Challenger Series, today's Challenger Series is clearly different.

Several rarely seen bigwigs from the provincial alliance actually took the time to come over as a group today.

This made the members of the challenge team somewhat nervous, but fortunately, judging from the conversation between the bigwigs, it didn't seem like they were there to inspect their work.

"I must say, these young guys from the Underworld Club are actually pretty good."

"Indeed, especially Brother Xue, he is still as extraordinary as he was back then."

Several members of the alliance were emanating spiritual energy fluctuations of level nine or ten.

They came here in person today specifically for the Underworld Club.

On the one hand, it was the attention drawn by the video of "King Qin Guang" that caused the controversy, and on the other hand, it was because of Xue Zhengying, an old friend who "came back to life".

As contestants who were in the same cohort as Xue Zhengying back then, they knew very well how extraordinary Xue Zhengying was.

Even though they were a few years older than Xue Zhengying back then, it was difficult for them to gain any advantage over him.

"Those two young scroll painters are quite good, as is Vice President Huang's precious daughter."

"I was wondering why that girl looked so familiar. Wasn't she Old Huang's daughter? That's strange, isn't his daughter always a bit of a slacker?"

"Maybe this is the power of hormones?"

One of the big shots pointed to Kui Mulang's handsome appearance in the surveillance footage and teased him.

"Wow~ This little guy is pretty handsome!"

"Looks aren't the key point; the key point is combat strength and skill level. Judging from the current situation, the star rating of this golden scroll is at least four."

The bigwigs clicked their tongues and observed for a moment, then nodded secretly.

"I checked out Wu Xian's profile, and this little scroll painter seems a bit outrageous," a big shot said, scrolling through his phone. "He's got necromancy, gods and demons, and even animals, and his skill level is pretty high too. Is he really that multi-talented?"

The other bigwigs were also quite surprised by this.

Having lived most of their lives, what kind of scroll painters haven't they seen?
But this is the first time I've seen someone as extraordinary as Wu Xian.
