Féquy and Feixue were from the same generation, and Feixue had humiliated him many times when he was younger. Now that he had lived for thirty to forty years, although his cultivation and status were far inferior to Feixue's, he had Huo De's support, so he wasn't afraid.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other with disdain, Gu Qingfeng couldn't be bothered with them and stepped into the hall.
"Gu Qingfeng, do you really want to become the leader of the twelve academies?"
Elder Ren De asked. When he saw Gu Qingfeng shrug his shoulders with a nonchalant expression, he continued, "I know that your physical body is quite strong, and your immortal arts are impressive as well. However, it is not that easy to become the top student of the Twelve Astral Academies."
"It's not that easy?" Gu Qingfeng frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that I only need to defeat one of the leaders?"
"That's true, and it's true." Elder Rende said solemnly, "However, the leaders of the twelve academies all have high cultivation and immortal arts. Their strength is far beyond what you can imagine, so I advise you to think twice before acting …"
"I've already thought about it. Submit my name."
Elder Rende still wanted to persuade him, but Gu Qingfeng interrupted him, "Forget it, I won't do this even if I can't."
"This …"
Elder Rende seemed to be hesitating. At this time, Venerable Rende said with disdain, "Elder Rende, since he's so full of himself, why bother persuading him? If you don't give him a chance, he won't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."
"Sigh …"
Elder Rende sighed and shook his head in disappointment. He didn't try to persuade him any further. After registering Gu Qingfeng's name, he handed over a pot of lots and said, "The leader of the twelve academies needs to be decided by drawing lots."
Gu Qingfeng casually picked a stick that had the words "Yulan Academy's leader" written on it.
"Yulan Academy's leader? Isn't that Huang Yao? " Ouyang Ye hurriedly ran over and asked worriedly, "Hey, Gu Qingfeng, are you really going to compete for the position of Astral-12's leader? The chief disciple of the Yulan Courtyard is Huang Yao. He is in the sixth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and his martial arts attainment is very high. He has cultivated four types of martial arts to the peak of the sixth or ninth layer. He is very strong! "
"Huang Yao?"
Gu Qingfeng felt that this name was rather familiar. After thinking carefully, he could not help but laugh involuntarily. "What a coincidence."
"What coincidence? Did you hear what I said? That guy is really ruthless. "
"He's just a brat."
Gu Qingfeng smiled, but then he suddenly thought of something and asked, "I heard that as long as you become the leader of the Twelve Academies, you can directly enter Hall Nine?"
"This … is indeed the case." Although Elder Rende did not know why Gu Qingfeng was asking this, he still answered truthfully, "After becoming the leader of the Twelve Academies, you can enter Hall Nine as long as you pass the trial array."
Hall Nine's direct disciple was the disciple with the highest status in Yunxia School. It was extremely strict, and only the leader of the Twelve Academies had the qualifications to become a direct disciple. However, this was only a qualification, and it did not mean that one would become Hall Nine's direct disciple just because they became the leader of the Twelve Academies. They still had to pass the trial array, and this trial array was extremely terrifying. Even the previous leader of the Twelve Academies, Mu Zibai, who had a colorful foundation, had not been able to pass it.
Gu Qingfeng nodded and asked, "How can I become the leader of the Twelve Academies?"
"Young man, you are not even the leader of the Twelve Academies, so don't even think about becoming the leader."
Elder Rende sighed again, as if he felt that this young man was too arrogant and did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. He had not even become the leader of the Twelve Academies, yet he wanted to become the leader of the Twelve Academies.
If this was not arrogance, then what was?
If this was not overestimating himself, then what was it?
Féquy walked over and explained, "It's like this. After becoming the leader of the Twelve Academies, there will be a ranking of the leaders. The person who wins first place will become the leader of the Twelve Academies."
"What kind of ranking?"
"The twelve leaders will draw lots to battle each other, and the ranking system will be used."
"That troublesome?" Gu Qingfeng rubbed his chin and asked, "Can't I just defeat the previous leader of the Twelve Academies?"
"That … is against the rules."
Ouyang Ye did not understand what the two were talking about at first, but after listening for a while, he seemed to have guessed something. However, he still could not believe it and asked, "Gu Qingqing … what do you mean? Are you … are you still thinking about fighting for the position of the leader of the Twelve Academies?"
"I am thinking about it."
"You … are you crazy?" Ouyang Ye stared at him and said, "You haven't even become the leader of the Twelve Academies, and you're already thinking about becoming the leader of the Twelve Academies?"
"You're looking down on me." Gu Qingfeng took out another red leaf demon fruit and took a bite. He chuckled and said, "Isn't it just a leader of the Twelve Academies? They're just a bunch of brats. I can defeat them with a flick of my finger … Hmm? Hahaha! "
After saying that, Gu Qingfeng laughed loudly and left.
As they watched Gu Qingfeng leave, all the elders present shook their heads and sighed. This young man was too arrogant and did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
Wasn't it just a leader of the Twelve Academies?
A bunch of brats?
And he could defeat them with a flick of his finger?
How arrogant would he have to be to say something like that?
The leaders of the Twelve Academies were geniuses who had been carefully selected from over ten thousand disciples of the Yunxia School. Mu Zibai, who was ranked first, was a ninth-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who had cultivated six types of sword techniques to seventy-nine perfection. Moreover, he had established a rainbow-colored foundation, so his strength was unparalleled. Although the other leaders did not have rainbow-colored foundations, their spiritual roots were at least three-colored, and the weakest among them was a sixth-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
How could such outstanding leaders of the Twelve Academies be treated as brats in his eyes? And he could defeat them with a flick of his finger?
The elders present had seen arrogant disciples before, but this was the first time they had seen such an arrogant disciple who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. Moreover, this fellow had a mutated body that had failed to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
Wasn't it just a slightly stronger physical body?
Wasn't it just that he had cultivated the Flame-Thunder Technique to perfection?
So what?
At the end of the day, he was just a cripple. No matter how high his comprehension was, his cultivation was destined to stop at this level for the rest of his life.
The elders shook their heads and sighed. They did not even bother to reprimand or ridicule him. They did not even bother to look at him. They felt that this young man was too unreasonable.
Ouyang Ye wanted to chase after him, but he was stopped by Daoist Master Feixue.
"Disciple, why are you still paying attention to this kind of person?" Daoist Master Feixue said coldly, "He's just a piece of trash who doesn't know his place. He's so arrogant that he doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He's just a piece of trash who only knows how to boast. You're just wasting your time, do you know that? "
"This … Little girl Ouyang, although your master's words are a bit harsh, they aren't without reason." Elder Ren De also stood out and tried to persuade him. "Originally, I didn't want to get involved in your personal affairs, but … there might be something wrong with this young man's head. Perhaps because he failed to build his foundation, he couldn't accept the fact for a moment and his nerves were stimulated. Otherwise, how could he say such nonsense?"
Didn't know his place?
Didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth?
Only knew how to boast?
Living in a fantasy?
His nerves were provoked?
To be honest, Ouyang Ye already thought so when she was at the First-grade Mountain Villa. However, after the Red Leaves Ravine incident and Old Man Huo De's attitude towards Gu Qingfeng, Ouyang Ye felt puzzled.
She didn't think that Gu Qingfeng didn't know his place. She also didn't think that he was arrogant and only knew how to boast. However, Ouyang Ye didn't know why he was so arrogant. She couldn't figure it out when she first met Gu Qingfeng. Even now, she still couldn't figure it out.
