Listening to the discussion of the crowd, Lin Yi could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Sure enough, Chu Muqing and Chu Bubai were brothers. No wonder they looked so familiar. No wonder the two of them looked exactly the same, whether it was their appearance or temperament.
However, this also proved that Chu Bubai had bad intentions. He obviously had a strong team partner like Chu Muqing, who was also his younger brother, but he did not look for him. Instead, he specifically looked for Guo Dengtao, who was not close to him, and Huang Xiaotao, who was a stranger to him. In the end, it was to gather enough heads for the sacrifice and use everyone's lives to exchange for the Infant Ginseng.
Thinking back to the beginning, in order to deceive everyone, Chu Bubai kept saying that he was the only Gold Core stage master in the Chu family. He really had ulterior motives. This kind of person ended up being killed by the Infant Ginseng. He really deserved to die. It was a pity that Guo Dengtao and Wang Feng were kept in the dark.
Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao looked at each other and nodded tacitly. They did not say much, so as not to be heard by others and cause unnecessary trouble.
Everyone was talking about it, but Chu Muqing did not have any strange expression. It seemed that he already knew that he had a tri-elemental spirit root. After nodding slightly to the college staff, he turned around and walked to the third stage of the assessment array.
During the whole process, Chu Muqing's elegant temperament did not decrease at all. He had the temperament of an expert. On the high platform, the big shots of the college nodded frequently. They could not help but look at him with a bit more praise and recognition.
After all, this was the first person with tri-elemental spirit root. Moreover, the temperament itself had already explained this person's development potential to a certain extent. Not to mention anything else, with the same strength, Chu Muqing's temperament was often easier to gain an advantage in a fight. Temperament itself was also a hidden talent, but it was ignored by many people.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chu Muqing walked step by step to the front of the assessment array. When the examiner nodded, Chu Muqing's figure slightly sank. Then, he suddenly soared into the sky and swept one leg in the air. A sharp arc of qi instantly hit the assessment array at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye.
Boom! The assessment array was safe and sound, but when the force spread to the ground, it caused the whole place to tremble. The power was so great that it was shocking.
It was a simple and powerful attack. This caused the entire crowd to burst into an uproar. They looked at each other, and their gazes were filled with shock that was difficult to hide. Chu Muqing was able to make such a name for himself in this Zhenduan Sea Region. His strength was indeed not just for show.
Chu Muqing calmly landed on the ground and nodded to the examiner. Then, he quietly waited at the side for the results.
If it was someone else, like the braided guy from before, they wouldn't be able to do anything. The examiner directly announced his elimination. However, this time, the examiner unexpectedly did not say anything. Instead, he turned his head to look at the high platform.
It was clear that, at least to him, Chu Muqing had already passed the test. However, he did not have the right to speak as to which of the academy bigwigs would take him. He could only wait for the final decision of the academy bigwigs on the stage.
Everyone subconsciously held their breaths as they stared at the words and actions of the elders on the stage. If there were no surprises, the first genius disciple to pass the selection today would be … It was about to be born.
The elders of the academy looked at each other. Their gazes first landed on the three Mountain Opening Stage experts in the middle. Every time they came out to recruit disciples, there was an unwritten rule. That was, those with high strength and status could choose first. If they did not want the disciple, then they could take turns.
Among the elders of the academy, the person with the highest status was none other than the dean, Ling Yuanqing. Next to him were the two vice-deans, Wei Hebei and the female Mountain Opening Stage expert. As long as any one of the three of them nodded, Chu Muqing would rise rapidly and become their disciple. At the same time, there would be nothing else for the others to do.
Only when all three of them expressed no interest would the elders on the stage have the opportunity to take Chu Muqing in.
After a moment of silence, the dean Ling Yuanqing did not say anything. The vice-dean Wei Hebei did not say anything. The remaining female vice-dean also did not say anything.
This meant that the three Mountain Opening Stage bigwigs had no intention of taking Chu Muqing as their disciple.
Below the stage, Chu Muqing looked at this scene. Although his expression did not change, his heart could not help but sink slightly. A trace of haze flashed across his eyes. He originally thought that with his talent and potential, he should be able to obtain the favor of the three bigwigs. He did not expect that he would fail at the last step.
Entering the same Morning Star Academy and becoming a disciple of one of the bigwigs, whether it was the Mountain Opening Stage bigwigs or an ordinary Profound Ascending Stage teacher, the difference in status and treatment would be like heaven and earth.
No matter where one went, one could not escape the rule of Jianghu where one's disciple was respected. Even if one's strength and talent were the same, if one had Dean Ling Yuanqing behind his back and the other had an ordinary Nascent Soul stage instructor behind his back, then their statuses would naturally be worlds apart. Everyone present was well aware of this point, and Chu Muqing was naturally no exception.
Everyone wanted to become the disciple of the three Mountain Opening Stage bigwigs, but it was a pity that it was not easy to move them. Even with Chu Muqing's talent, it was far from enough.
After the three Mountain Opening Stage bigwigs silently expressed their stance, it was the turn of the seven Profound Ascending Stage experts. If one could obtain their favor, one would also be able to achieve meteoric success in the future.
Finally, after the seven Profound Ascending Stage experts looked at each other, an old man wearing a black school robe nodded towards Chu Muqing and said, "Chu Muqing, from now on, you will follow me to train."
Hearing this, everyone present was instantly envious. Any Profound Ascending Stage expert, even if placed in the middle island, would be a top expert. Although they were much weaker than the three Mountain Opening Stage bigwigs, to be able to become a disciple of such a strong person, this was already a rare opportunity.
"Disciple obeys." Chu Muqing immediately bowed and replied. His tone was still calm, giving people the feeling that he would become a great person in the future. However, when the corner of his eyes swept across Ling Yuanqing and the other two Mountain Opening Stage experts, he could not help but have a trace of resentment.
In an instant, Chu Muqing completely became the focus of everyone present. As a famous person in the Zhen Duan Sea, he would probably become a true legendary figure from the word of mouth.
Everyone was speculating that if one day, Chu Muqing came out from the Morning Star Academy and returned to the Zhen Duan Sea, his strength would probably be unparalleled. (To be continued)
