Stubborn About Face
Thump!
Gu Qing Song's heart twitched. Chu Xingyun's Wu Ling affinity was so high that even the Spirit Testing Tablet couldn't measure it. Such a terrifying Wu Ling affinity, even the Yunmeng Martial House didn't have that many.
"Chu Xingyun, our Jialan Martial House welcomes you!" Almost at the same time, the representatives of the three Martial Houses opened their mouths and spoke, looking forward with a look of surprise.
Wu Ling affinity that exceeded grade nine was too rare. If they could obtain such a monstrous genius and nurture him well, he would definitely become a great figure in the future.
"Teacher!" Qin Yuyan looked at Yang Yan beside her with a face full of surprise. She didn't think that Chu Xingyun's Wu Ling affinity would be so high that even the Spirit Testing Tablet couldn't withstand it.
"He's right there, what's the rush?" Yang Yan rolled his eyes. He didn't have any intention of recruiting, but his gaze was carefully sizing up Chu Xingyun and the other representatives of the four Martial Houses.
"The first round of the examination is over. Take a short break, and we'll continue with the second round." Gu Qing Song's face was ugly, and he walked down from the stands with a bit of anger.
"What's going on? Didn't you say that Chu Xingyun was a piece of trash who took a large amount of pills to barely raise his cultivation? Why is his Wu Ling affinity so high?" Gu Qing Song walked to Shui Qianyue's side and asked with a bit of anger.
Shui Qianyue's expression stiffened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Elder Gu, Wu Ling's affinity is high, but it doesn't mean anything. A year ago, Chu Xingyun was indeed only at the second layer of the Tempered Body realm. Even if he was a Heaven's Chosen One, it's impossible for him to rise seven layers in a year. So he must have taken some pills and didn't have the slightest bit of strength."
Gu Qingsong calmed down a little and nodded inwardly. Rising seven levels in a single year was indeed a bit shocking. It was impossible for it to be achieved through pure cultivation.
"The talent that Chu Xingyun has just displayed has already caused the three great Martial Houses to want to recruit him. If we want to make a move, it will be a little difficult. You must seize the opportunity to completely cripple him with the power of wind and thunder, so as to avoid any more problems." Gu Qingsong's eyes were filled with a gloomy coldness. He didn't want to see Chu Xingyun rise to power.
"Don't worry, he won't be able to withstand a single blow from me if I go all out!" Shui Qianyue's voice was cold. Clearly, she had also felt the threat that Chu Xingyun posed to her.
On the other side of the stands.
Qin Yuyan frowned tightly and unhappily said, "Teacher, why didn't you speak up to recruit Chu Xingyun just now? Don't tell me that a nine grade affinity with Wu Ling isn't qualified enough?"
Originally, with Chu Xingyun's talent in alchemy, it was more than enough for him to join the Soaring Heaven Martial House. If he had a nine grade affinity with Wu Ling, even the higher ups of the Soaring Heaven Martial House would be alarmed.
However, Yang Yan didn't open his mouth and even showed a very impatient look. Qin Yuyan really couldn't understand why.
"The last time we met, this brat was extremely arrogant and acted as if I was the one who asked him to join the Soaring Heaven Martial House. If I had spoken up to recruit him just now, wouldn't I have lost all my face?"
Yang Yan curled his lips and snorted like an old urchin, "I am a dignified Alchemy Grandmaster. It has always been others begging me. Asking me to beg others is simply impossible!"
"If he was recruited by another Martial House, wouldn't we suffer a great loss?" Qin Yuyan was speechless.
"Don't worry, other than you and me, no one else knows about this kid's pill talent. He will definitely make a fool of himself in the second round of the assessment. At that time, we will try to recruit him and we will definitely succeed." Yang Yan chuckled. The smile on his face clearly displayed his confidence.
After half an hour, the break was over.
Gu Qingsong stood up and said loudly, "The second round is to test your strength. Those who are called up can fight on the stage as much as you want. We will judge whether you are qualified to join the Soaring Heaven Martial House based on your strength. This battle is about showing your strength. Winning or losing has nothing to do with it. Remember, do not use external objects and do not harm your life!"
"Now, Ye Xunfeng and Lin Chuan, come on the stage and fight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd immediately exclaimed. The first battle was already so exciting. The final battle between the two geniuses would definitely be very exciting.
Not long after, Ye Xunfeng and Lin Chuan both stepped on the stage. Their eyes met and their bodies emitted a strong aura. One stood with a sword in his hand while the other was as domineering as a tiger. The atmosphere became heated.
"Fight!"
With a shout, the two of them attacked at almost the same time. Neither of them wanted to give way to the other. They collided in the middle of the stage. Sword light flashed and blue light filled the air. The spectators cheered loudly.
In the end, the two of them joined the Purple Sun Martial House and Jialan Martial House respectively. Many people looked at them with envy. Being able to join one of the five Martial Houses was everyone's wish.
"Next battle, Su Qingrou and Shi Lei!"
The second battle immediately began.
The young man named Shi Lei came from Heishui City. His cultivation was not bad. He was at the First Sky of Spirit Gathering Realm. However, when he heard that his opponent was Su Qingrou, his face turned green.
However, although he was afraid, he still clenched his teeth and stepped on the stage. As soon as he attacked, he called out his Wu Ling and rushed towards Su Qingrou.
Shi Lei was very self-aware. He knew that it was impossible for him to win against Su Qingrou. However, this battle was not about winning or losing. As long as he could show his strength, he could be selected by one of the five Martial Houses.
Boom Boom Boom!
After Shi Lei threw out three consecutive punches, Su Qingrou called out her Wind Butterfly Wu Ling and easily broke through Shi Lei's defense. With a slap, she knocked him out of the stage and won.
"Your movement technique is not bad. You are very suitable to join our Blue Wind Martial House!" The representative of the Blue Wind Martial House smiled. Su Qingrou's path belonged to the agile path. She was worth nurturing.
After that, the Jialan Martial House and Purple Sun Martial House also tried to recruit her. A smile appeared on Su Qingrou's face. She looked back, but found that the Dreamy Cloud Martial House and the Lingxiao Martial House did not make any moves.
"It seems that my strength is not enough to join these two Martial Houses." Su Qingrou sighed. After thinking for a while, she made her decision. "I am willing to join the Blue Wind Martial House."
After that, the battle continued. The people who went on stage later were all pumped up. Every time they attacked, they would use their best martial arts. They would not let go of any opportunity to show off their strength.
However, the five Martial Houses were not interested. After Su Qingrou, there were only a few people who were valued. The Dreamy Cloud Martial House and the Lingxiao Martial House did not say anything from beginning to end. They did not recruit anyone.
When the second round of the examination was about to come to an end, only Chu Xingyun and Shui Qianyue were left on the stage.
"The last battle, Chu Xingyun versus Shui Qianyue!" Gu Qingsong raised his voice, causing the tired crowd to immediately recover. Their eyes shone with a bright light.
They still remembered that when the Martial House Selection began, Shui Qianyue said that she had a one year agreement with Chu Xingyun. They wanted to see who was the toad in the smelly ditch.
Now, the last battle of the second round was between the two of them.
