At the end of the Tournament of the Nine Clouds, Gu Man had single-handedly brought the Flowing Cloud Battle Team to the throne of champions, writing his own legend.
After this battle, Gu Man had undoubtedly become the number one expert of the Jiuxiao Academy. Of course, this number one didn't include the Martial Emperor.
After this battle, Gu Man's reputation in the academy had reached a certain point. There was nothing more for him to pursue.
With this final battle, Gu Man's name had already been recorded in history. He had become a legend that would be passed down in the future.
After the battle, Gu Man didn't care about anyone else. He directly went to Chu Xingyun and kowtowed.
This kowtow had many meanings.
Firstly, Gu Man wanted to apologize to Chu Xingyun. He didn't completely follow Chu Xingyun's instructions. He hesitated and didn't activate his invincible golden body. He had almost been consigned to eternal damnation because of this.
Secondly, Gu Man wanted to thank Chu Xingyun. If it wasn't for Chu Xingyun's guidance at the crucial moment, Gu Man himself wouldn't have thought that he would be able to fight one against five, set things right, and take back his fate.
After taking back his fate, Gu Man could clearly feel that his own Profound Entrances were the same as Sima Chang Tian's.
If it was quick, it would take a year, and if it was late, it would take three years for Gu Man to break through to the Martial Emperor realm.
Even though Chu Xingyun had only said a few words and passed him a note, to Gu Man, it was the kindness of nurturing him and giving him a new life.
His parents had given him life and raised him. This kindness was higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.
However, Chu Xingyun had first saved Gu Man's life. He had saved Gu Man from Mu Tong's side from certain death.
The kindness of saving one's life and the kindness of his parents could be compared. They had both given him life.
After that, Chu Xingyun had nurtured Gu Man.
Whether it was the Heaven Opening Blade, the Heaven Opening Blade Technique, or the words of Chu Xingyun before today's battle, they were all nurturing Gu Man.
The only pity was that Gu Man didn't listen to Chu Xingyun's advice. He hesitated and didn't activate his invincible golden body, which almost led to a tragedy.
Finally, Chu Xingyun's note was the grace of rebirth.
Originally, after Gu Man was instantly killed by Sima Chang Tian, his destiny had been snatched away. In this life … it would be very difficult for him to become a Martial Emperor.
But Chu Xingyun's words had given Gu Man a clear path. Five against one, they had defeated a powerful enemy.
In just one battle, Gu Man's fate had undergone an earth-shattering change.
From a brute with no future after being insta-killed, he had become a legend, a legend, a great existence whose name would go down in history.
Moreover, the position of Martial Emperor, which had been difficult to achieve in his lifetime, was now right in front of his eyes.
The grace of saving his life, the grace of nurturing him, the grace of giving him a new lease of life, any one of these was something that he could not repay even if he sacrificed himself.
Without Chu Xingyun, there would be no Gu Man today, and there would be no Gu Man in the future.
Seeing Gu Man kneeling in front of him, Chu Xingyun hurriedly went forward and tried to help Gu Man up.
Although Chu Xingyun wasn't satisfied that Gu Man didn't listen to his advice, everyone had their own aspirations. How could he force it?
Not to mention that he and Gu Man were just friends, even if they were blood brothers, even if they were parents and children, how could he force it?
Chu Xingyun would say what needed to be said.
But whether Gu Man listened or not, Chu Xingyun didn't care.
Facing Chu Xingyun's support, Gu Man stubbornly refused to get up. No matter what, he had to give Chu Xingyun an explanation.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Man said, "Boss, no … Big brother! The reason why I hesitate is not only because I'm afraid of death, but mainly because the invincible golden body is really too powerful! "
Hearing Gu Man's words, Chu Xingyun was slightly surprised. Then, he fiercely used his strength and frowned, "If I tell you to get up, then get up. Since you call me big brother, then listen to me!"
Since Chu Xingyun had said so, Gu Man didn't dare to disobey anymore. He stood up with Chu Xingyun's strength.
Standing in front of Chu Xingyun, Gu Man seriously said, "My most respected teacher in the elementary school once told me that if I relied too much on the invincible golden body, then my achievements in this life would be limited."
Looking at Chu Xingyun awkwardly, Gu Man said, "I once promised my teacher that I would seal the invincible golden body and not open it unless it was a matter of life and death."
Suddenly nodding his head, Chu Xingyun finally understood why Gu Man was so persistent and stubborn.
Everything was because of an oath!
Perhaps to others, an oath didn't matter. As long as it was related to benefits, they could violate it at any time.
But to Gu Man, since he had made an oath, he would definitely abide by it.
Therefore, even if Chu Xingyun specifically talked to him and suggested that he activate the invincible golden body, Gu Man still wouldn't violate the oath he had made and continue to seal the invincible golden body.
As for the last battle, although Gu Man had activated the invincible golden body, he didn't violate the oath because that battle was really a matter of life and death.
Even if he lost, Gu Man wouldn't die on the spot. But if he couldn't become a Martial Emperor, then his lifespan would only be two to three hundred years.
Chu Xingyun was very pleased with Gu Man's persistence and integrity.
Although he didn't want to reveal his trump card because he was afraid of death, the most important thing was that he was bound by the oath.
Patting Gu Man's shoulder lightly, Chu Xingyun said, "Okay, you don't need to explain. I didn't blame you."
Looking at Chu Xingyun's magnanimous smile, Gu Man still couldn't let it go. No matter what, he still went against Chu Xingyun's opinion. Moreover, he couldn't guarantee that the same situation wouldn't happen again in the future.
The reason why it was like this was because of the restriction of their identities.
Gu Man and Chu Xingyun were only teammates and friends. Chu Xingyun's words and actions didn't have any actual binding relationship with Gu Man.
Therefore, once Gu Man made an oath and went against Chu Xingyun's wishes, Gu Man could only choose to abide by the oath.
Gu Man couldn't be considered an extremely smart person, but he was definitely a typical example of a big guy with great wisdom.
He couldn't be considered an extremely smart person, but his IQ was definitely above the majority of people.
In fact, no matter what profession or profession, those who could reach the top didn't have low IQ.
It was absolutely impossible for Gu Man to be a military advisor or a strategist. His IQ wasn't at that level.
Compared to those extremely smart people, Gu Man's IQ was just so-so. If he really played tricks with them, Gu Man would be played silly.
However, other than those extremely smart people, Gu Man's IQ was definitely at the top. He was much smarter than the majority of people.
Now, Gu Man was at the crossroads of his life.
There was no place for him in the Flowing Cloud Battle Team.
Just think about it. With his strength alone, he could defeat the Sovereign Battle Team that had won the championship for seven consecutive years. What else could he pursue in the Connecting Sky Battlefield?
If he continued to participate, it would only lower his position in history. It wouldn't increase his fame in the slightest.
