A Laughable Ego
The Martial House Selection this time had gathered all the young cultivators of the Northwest Administrative Province. Before this, almost everyone thought that Shui Qianyue would shine and become the target of competition among the five great Martial Houses.
However, in the end, the person who shone the brightest wasn't Shui Qianyue, but the unknown Chu Xingyun.
Not only did Chu Xingyun join the strongest Martial House, Soaring Heaven Martial House, but he also obtained Yang Yan's permission to directly become a core disciple, enjoying many privileges and cultivation resources.
This was the first time that everyone had heard of such a thing, and they were deeply shocked.
"The Martial House Selection has always had a tradition of determining the champion, but this time, there shouldn't be such a need." Gu Qing Shan happily walked over, his eyes almost forming a crescent moon shape.
Chu Xingyun had defeated Shui Qianyue, sent Gu Qingsong flying, and was even selected by the Soaring Heaven Martial House to become a core disciple. Everyone had seen these special honors, and the champion position was already his.
"Congratulations Master on entering the Soaring Heaven Martial House!" Yan Du was also somewhat excited. The battle between Chu Xingyun and Shui Qianyue just now had made his blood boil.
"It's just a spot, there's no need to be so happy." Chu Xingyun appeared very calm. In his eyes, entering the Soaring Heaven Martial House was only his first step into the Imperial City, and at the same time, the most basic step.
"Can't you be a little more humble?" Yang Yan rolled his eyes, and then said: "After the Martial House Selection, I will give you two days to settle your family matters. After that, you will follow Yang Feng to the Imperial City and officially register at the Martial House."
As he spoke, a tall and sturdy middle-aged man standing behind Yang Yan strode forward and nodded towards Chu Xingyun.
This middle-aged man's name was Yang Feng, and he was Yang Yan's last disciple. At the same time, he was also one of the Elders of the Soaring Heaven Martial House.
Yang Yan valued Chu Xingyun's talent very much, and was afraid that the other Martial Houses would make a move during this period of time, so he simply let Yang Feng protect Chu Xingyun, and at the same time let Chu Xingyun roughly understand the rules of the Soaring Heaven Martial House.
A genius like Chu Xingyun was rare, and Yang Yan didn't want him to die in vain.
"Official registration? Could it be that there's another test after the selection? "Yan Du was startled for a moment before he asked in confusion.
Yang Feng smiled and said, "The Martial House Selection Competition covers all 64 cities of Liu Yun. From each city, the most talented youths are selected. As for the Imperial City, it is an exception. After all, the Imperial City has many different influences, and there are many geniuses there. The five great Martial Houses naturally have to spend more time."
Hearing this, Yan's explanation.
No wonder the Martial House Selection only accepted so few people. Most of the Martial House disciples came from the various families in the Imperial City, and they were the main part of the Five Martial Houses.
"I will explain the specifics of the Soaring Heaven Martial House in the next few days. It is already late, so please go back and rest. We will return to West Wind City tomorrow morning." Yang Feng's personality was simple and honest, and when he spoke, he was very considerate of others.
On the way back to the courtyard, Chu Xingyun noticed that Shui Qianyue was still glaring at him with a hateful gaze. Her silver teeth were tightly clenched, and her heart was filled with coldness and even killing intent.
"You still want to fight?" Chu Xingyun smiled faintly, causing Shui Qianyue to shiver and shrink back. She had just used a secret method to forcefully raise her cultivation, and now that the secret method's duration had passed, her entire body was in pain and she was very weak.
Not to mention that even Gu Qingsong of the earth spirit realm had been injured by Chu Xingyun. How could she be a match for Chu Xingyun in her current state? Continuing to fight would only be looking for abuse and death.
Seeing Shui Qianyue like this, Chu Xingyun smiled coldly. "If you don't want to fight, then admit defeat. I, Chu Xingyun, have no reason to compete with a toad."
"Chu Xingyun, don't go too far!" Shui Qianyue's almond eyes widened as she stared fixedly at Chu Xingyun.
"You were so arrogant when we made the promise of a year ago. You thought that you were so high up that you could easily trample me beneath your feet and display your laughable ego. Now that you've lost, you don't want to acknowledge the promise and say that I've gone too far."
"Shui Qianyue, do you really think that the entire world revolves around you? That everyone and everything has to move according to your wishes? Don't you think that your actions are laughable?"
Chu Xingyun spoke slowly, word by word. There wasn't a trace of mockery on his face, but an extreme seriousness that made the crowd feel that his posture had become much straighter. He stood with his sword in hand and spoke firm words. How frivolous and unruly was he?
On the other hand, Shui Qianyue had completely shed the halo of a genius and had even become a bit shameful. She didn't even dare acknowledge the promise.
Shui Qianyue's expression changed continuously when she felt the disdainful gazes of the crowd. She gritted her teeth and said, "You, Chu Xingyun, made the promise of a year ago. I never agreed to it from beginning to end. Since I didn't agree to it, it's only natural that I don't want to acknowledge it!"
"Then according to what you're saying, you're going to go back on your word?" Chu Xingyun sneered. In this situation, Shui Qianyue didn't hesitate to act shamelessly to protect her self-esteem. It was really pitiful.
"Since you insist that I'm going back on my word, then fine. You and I will make another promise of a year. A year later, we will compete in the Martial House Great Competition. This promise can be witnessed by everyone present!" Shui Qianyue raised her voice so that everyone present could hear her clearly.
The strength that Chu Xingyun had displayed was indeed very strong, far surpassing hers. However, in Shui Qianyue's opinion, this was only temporary and didn't represent the future.
She was a fourth-grade cultivator, Wu Ling. The further she cultivated, the faster her strength would increase. As for Chu Xingyun, he was only a second-grade cultivator. Moreover, he was the kind of useless crippled Wu Ling.
When Shui Qianyue saw this, she felt that if she cultivated bitterly for another year, she would definitely be able to surpass Chu Xingyun!
"The Martial House Great Competition will gather all the geniuses of the Five Great Martial Houses. If you want to challenge me, fine. When you have the qualifications to represent the Yunmeng Martial House, I will consider it." Chu Xingyun didn't pay attention to Shui Qianyue's burning gaze. He turned around and left.
For Chu Xingyun, from today onwards, the gap between him and Shui Qianyue would only grow bigger and bigger. In the future, Shui Qianyue could only raise her head and look at him. From now on, the two of them would never cross paths.
As a result, this promise of a year was meaningless to Chu Xingyun.
After Chu Xingyun left, Gu Qingsong walked over and said in a gloomy voice, "Shui Qianyue, look at what you've done!"
A few days ago, when he heard the news of Chu Xingyun's rise, he immediately prepared to send experts to eliminate Chu Xingyun and eliminate any future troubles.
However, Shui Qianyue stopped him. She even said that she wanted to cripple him in the arena and make him completely degenerate. He would become a cripple and suffer day and night.
When Gu Qingsong saw Shui Qianyue's confidence, he agreed.
Unfortunately, the final result was completely different from what he had imagined. Not only did Chu Xingyun steal the limelight, he also received Yang Yan's recognition and became a core disciple of the Lingxiao Martial House.
Now, with Yang Feng's protection, it was almost impossible to assassinate Chu Xingyun!
"What happened today, no one expected it. However, even if Chu Xingyun became a core disciple of the Lingxiao Martial House, so what? He will definitely attract criticism from countless people. I'm afraid that once he enters the Lingxiao Martial House, he will become a target of public criticism." Shui Qianyue hurriedly said, which made Gu Qingsong's complexion look a little better.
In the Lingxiao Martial House, there were countless geniuses. All of them were arrogant and unruly.
Chu Xingyun had just entered the Lingxiao Martial House and became a core disciple. There would definitely be a lot of dissatisfaction. In addition, with Chu Xingyun's frivolous temperament, it was impossible for him to pass his days peacefully.
"This Chu Xingyun, although he has obtained the privileges of a core disciple, he will face endless troubles. As long as I use a little trick, I can easily eliminate him." Gu Qingsong's mind was full of thoughts. Obviously, he had a plan to deal with this.
He glanced at Shui Qianyue and threw a golden token to her. He said in a cold voice, "Report to the Martial House as soon as possible. If you cause any more trouble, don't blame me for watching with folded arms."
Finished speaking, Gu Qingsong flicked his sleeves and left the arena in large strides.
