Once this news spread, along with the news that Zheng Zhizhou and Yu Tiano, who was on the bronze ranking, had been seriously injured by the new disciple's Six Star Beginner Level Symbol Array, it immediately attracted a lot of attention within the Ancient Heaven Sect.
There weren't many disciples in the Ancient Heaven Sect who knew about Elder Gu's new disciple, so they didn't know much about him.
However, there weren't many people in the Munchū who didn't know about Elder Kong's disciple, Yi Xuan. Yi Xuan was a famous existence within the sect.
Yi Xuan had already become an inner sect disciple during the test a year ago. He had always been ranked in the top 30 on the bronze ranking and could be said to be an outstanding talent. He was the focus of the Munchū's nurturing.
Not long after Yi Xuan became an inner sect disciple, he had already broken through to the Martial King Initial Level. Right now, there were some Munchū disciples who guessed that Yi Xuan might have even reached the Martial King Mysterious Level.
As everyone was curious, Du Shaofu's identity was also found out.
However, other than knowing that Du Shaofu was a Six Star Soul Symbol Master and that he had used a Six Star Beginner Level Symbol Array to seriously injure Yu Tiano, Zheng Zhizhou, and several other members of the Crouching Tiger Society, no one knew anything else.
A couple of elders and middle-aged burly men were seated in a hall within a quiet courtyard. Their expressions were a little grave.
At the head of the hall, an old man who looked to be in his fifties stroked his long grey-white beard. His gaze was serious as he said, "That young man called Du Shaofu wouldn't be the brat who took first place back then, right? Could it be that Elder Qing Yang has already accepted that brat?"
"It's very likely. I've already asked around. That young man called Du Shaofu carries something that looks like a broadsword on his back. It's extremely similar to the brat who appeared in the test area back then. It's most likely that he's that brat."
Another burly man in plain clothes who looked to be in his fifties said softly. His bright and spirited eyes flickered secretly. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
These two people were Elder Hu Sankun and Elder Qiang Ming Ze, who had seen Du Shaofu from afar during the Ancient Heaven Sect's outer sect disciple assessment.
There were several other people in the hall at this time. They were also some of the powerhouses of the Ancient Heaven Sect who had been in the assessment area.
"When the time comes, we'll go and take a look as well. If it's really that brat, we can't let Elder Qing Yang ruin him."
Elder Hu Sankun's eyes flickered as if he was plotting something.
"Elder Hu, what do you mean?" A long-robed elder asked Hu Sankun.
Hearing this, Elder Hu Sankun chuckled and said, "I heard that the sect leader did not agree to Elder Qing Yang immediately accepting a disciple. I reckon that the sect leader also suspects that Du Shaofu is the brat who appeared in our assessment area back then. He is worried that Elder Qing Yang will destroy another good seedling when the time comes."
"If that's the case, we still have a chance. Let's take advantage of the fact that no one else knows …"
Hearing this, the expressions of the several elders, led by Elder Qiang Ming Ze, changed slightly as a knowing smile appeared in their eyes.
A group of mountains stood tall. On a huge mountain surrounded by mountains and clusters of peaks, the surroundings were lush and verdant. Within the mountain streams, the sound of gurgling water could be heard, showing an exuberant vitality.
Clouds and mist lingered around the mountain peak. In the distance, thousands of mountains rose and fell, magnificent and boundless.
On the mountain peak, in front of the steep mountain peak, looking from top to bottom, there seemed to be a bottomless abyss. It was so dark that one couldn't see anything. Only mist like water vapor flowed inside!
In front of the cliff, there was a seven foot tall middle-aged man. His figure was thin, but appeared slender and sturdy. He wore a green robe embroidered with green patterns. The robe was turned up, and his long black hair was neatly combed into a bun. A few strands of hair hung down from his ears.
The green robe and black hair appeared elegant under the breeze of the mountain peak. Set off by his tall and slender figure, there was a hint of elegance in his dignified appearance. He must have been a handsome man when he was young.
"Father."
On the mountain peak, a delicate voice slowly fell, and then a beautiful figure slowly descended.
The beautiful figure was wearing a moon-white and pink brocade dress. On the hem and cuffs of the dress, there were light yellow flower patterns, which added a bit of cuteness. The light pink gauze cloak was draped over her shoulders, and there was a pinkish white belt around her waist. It accentuated her well-proportioned figure, and her slender waist was so slim that it could not be held in one hand.
The beautiful figure slowly walked over. She wore a pair of embroidered flower shoes with soft fox fur sewn around them. On her jade-like wrists, there were two shining white bracelets. When they collided with each other, they emitted a pleasant sound, making her appear even more adorable.
The middle-aged man turned his head around. He was around forty to sixty years old, with a handsome face and a heroic spirit. His skin faintly glowed, and his eyes flashed with a thousand types of deep light. Looking at the beautiful figure that had arrived, his eyes immediately revealed a smile as he said, "Mu Ha, why are you here? The second round of competition is in a few days, are you ready?"
"I've long since been prepared. Although those few of them are very powerful, I'm not afraid."
The beautiful figure was a young girl around eighteen or nineteen years old. She looked at the middle-aged man and slightly raised her beautiful face. Within her lively eyes, her pupils were actually suffused with a faint purple color, fluctuating with intelligence and charming luster. Her small mouth was slightly pouted, and her cherry lips were smeared with a faint pink color like honey. Her silky black hair casually fluttered around her slender waist. What a cute and beautiful young girl. It was enough to dazzle people and make them fall head over heels in admiration.
"Little girl, you've been living in your grandmother's house all these years. You only came back recently to participate in the examination. Don't underestimate them. They are very strong." The middle-aged man smiled slightly, but his deep glass-like eyes showed that he had some confidence in the woman in front of him.
The cute girl pursed her lips and smiled. Then, she pulled the middle-aged man's arm and said, "Father, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about Mother?"
"Little girl, you're so mischievous. What do you know?"
The middle-aged man had a bitter smile on his face. He extended his hand and lightly scratched the tip of the girl's delicate nose. His eyes were filled with love. Then, the expression in his eyes changed slightly and he said to the girl, "Let me tell you something. Recently, your martial uncle plans to take in another disciple. His talent may be extraordinary."
"Martial uncle wants to take in another disciple? Isn't this a waste?" Hearing this, the girl's beautiful eyes suddenly twitched. She was extremely surprised.
"Little girl, what are you talking about? If your martial uncle finds out, he'll definitely come after you." The middle-aged man smiled.
"Martial uncle won't bear to come after me."
The girl pouted and said, "If martial uncle really wants to take in a disciple, then let him. If he's pissed off, I'm afraid you'll have a headache too."
"I have a headache right now." The middle-aged man bitterly smiled and said, "Let me take a look first."
"Okay, don't think about those headache-inducing things. Accompany me for a walk." The girl coquettishly pulled the middle-aged man's arm. Her faint smile was enough to make people fall in love with her.
… … …
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On the Heaven Martial Square, Yi Xuan was going to fight with Elder Gu Qingyang's new disciple. Moreover, there were mid-grade dao tools and king grade mysterious pills as the stakes. This not only attracted the attention of many disciples of the Munchū, but also many elders, protectors, deacons, and other people.
Three days later, in the early morning after dawn, the light and darkness separated. The light gathered in the sky.
The thick clouds covered the sky. Then, the light broke through the clouds, causing cracks to appear. Rays of rose-red silver light burst out. Then, the sky brightened.
The Heaven Martial Square was vast. It was surrounded by continuous mountains. It was located in a vast valley. Perhaps a lot of mountains were flattened in order to create such a vast square. It was large enough to accommodate the bodies of tens of thousands of beasts. As far as the eye could see, people couldn't help but be shocked.
Early in the morning, many people gathered around the Heaven Martial Square. It was densely packed and bustling with noise.
"What's the background of that Du Shaofu? He actually dares to fight with Yi Xuan."
"To be accepted as a disciple by Elder Gu Qingyang, I'm afraid he's not simple. Being able to arrange a six-star Beginner Rune Array means that he's definitely not an ordinary person."
"However, Du Shaofu is a Talisman Master. As long as Yi Xuan doesn't give him a chance, this kind of one-on-one battle will definitely be extremely disadvantageous for a Talisman Master."
"Let's wait and see the final result. I want to see how extraordinary he is to be accepted as a disciple by Elder Gu Qingyang."
"I feel that he shouldn't be too extraordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted Elder Gu Qingyang as his master. Although Elder Gu Qingyang's status is high, in the Ancient Heaven Sect, who doesn't know that the disciple under Elder Gu Qingyang is … Tsk tsk."
Discussions rang out one after another, causing the Heaven Martial Square to be in an uproar.
Usually, the Heaven Martial Square would be filled with the sounds of fighting early in the morning. But today, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding as they waited for the two people to appear. Today, Yi Xuan and the legendary Du Shaofu were the main characters of the Heaven Martial Square.
On a quiet mountain peak, early in the morning, the surroundings were shrouded in clouds and occasionally revealed mountain rocks. It was like a fairyland.
"Whoosh, whoosh …"
A purple-robed youth that seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old had a resolute face. His eyes were clear and deep as he leaped around. Hand seals were formed in his hands as his index and middle fingers came together, drawing out streaks of sword light. Using his fingers as a sword, he seemed to be cultivating a set of sword techniques.
Streaks of sword light were faintly discernible on Du Shaofu's fingertips. Profound energy fluctuated as the sword light flashed out arcs, as if a longsword was displaying a sword technique.
However, the sword technique didn't carry any aura, as if it couldn't resonate with profound energy.
"It shouldn't be like this. It doesn't seem right. It shouldn't be like this."
Du Shaofu withdrew his hand seals as he stood quietly with a face filled with doubt. His gaze was dull for a long time, as if he was pondering about something.
