When he saw Xiao Ting's arrogant face, Yang Feng's entire face darkened. His heart was filled with anger, but even more so, helplessness.
Yang Feng was well aware of Chu Xingyun's talent. He was definitely a genius amongst geniuses, and would definitely achieve great things in the future.
However, Chu Xingyun's current cultivation was still too low. He still needed some time to settle down before he could unleash all of his potential.
No one knew how long this period of time would be. At the same time, no one could predict whether Chu Xingyun would encounter any mishaps during this period of time.
After all, every legendary genius had to go through countless trials and tribulations. Everyone had seen too many geniuses who had unfortunately died prematurely. It was impossible for them to unconditionally give Chu Xingyun all the protection he wanted just because of his outstanding talent.
Chu Xingyun stared at Xiao Ting and asked, "Who will be the organizer for this assessment?"
"All of the new disciples from the five great martial houses will participate in this assessment. The organizers will naturally be the five great martial houses. Each martial house will send an elder and several core disciples to oversee the assessment. Firstly, this will prevent fights between each other, and secondly, it will ensure the safety of the disciples." Xiao Ting coldly replied.
"If my guess is correct, both of you will be representing the Soaring Heaven Martial House in the Misty Forest." Chu Xingyun's gaze fell on Li Yi. Similarly, there was a faint sneer on his face.
"It's just a mere assessment, yet you have to ask so many questions. How noisy." Li Yi ridiculed Chu Xingyun, "A guy who gets in through the back door is indeed a coward. I advise you not to participate in case you lose your life."
When he heard Li Yi's provocative words, Chu Xingyun softly chuckled and said, "Alright, I agree to participate in this assessment."
"Oh?" Just as these words left his mouth, many of the people present cried out in surprise. They were somewhat shocked that Chu Xingyun had so readily agreed to participate in this assessment.
Chu Xingyun took in everyone's shocked expressions. In fact, he even keenly discovered that the instant he agreed, the corners of Xiao Ting's and Li Yi's mouths had curled into an icy smile.
"Junior brother Chu!" Yang Feng hastily opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Chu Xingyun, who firmly said, "Elder Yang, I've already obtained a core disciple position. As long as I pass the assessment, I can directly become a core disciple of the Soaring Heaven Martial House. If I give up like this, I'll suffer a loss. More importantly, I don't want to see these two clowns jumping around in front of me. Such a crude method of provocation, even a three year old child would find it difficult to deceive."
Hearing this, Li Yi and Xiao Ting couldn't laugh anymore. How could the two of them not know that the two clowns Chu Xingyun was talking about were the two of them? Their faces became extremely ugly.
Chu Xingyun ignored the two of them and walked away with Luo Lan.
"Junior Brother Chu, isn't it a bit hasty for you to agree so readily?" Ye Huan stepped forward quickly with a slightly dignified look.
"The Misty Forest is shrouded in mist all day long, and visibility in the forest isn't high. It's difficult to defend against the sneak attacks of spirit beasts. For them to provoke us like this, they must have already set up a scheme."
The more Ye Huan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Visibility in the Misty Forest wasn't high, and spirit beasts were densely packed. Even if there were elders and core disciples, it was impossible to cover everything, not to mention that Xiao Ting had secretly set up a vicious scheme.
"Don't worry, I've already thought about what you just said." Chu Xingyun shrugged and said casually.
Ye Huan and Yang Feng were surprised. If Chu Xingyun knew that this assessment was so dangerous, why did he agree so readily?
Seeing their confusion, Chu Xingyun smiled and explained, "There are two reasons why I agreed to take the test. First, as I said earlier, I don't want to see Xiao Ting and Li Yi, these two clowns, jumping around in front of me and affecting my mood."
"As for the second point, it's also very simple. The purpose of this test is to target me and embarrass me. Then, I must endure this and pass the test in a grand manner. In this way, those disciples who are unwilling will obediently shut their mouths and stop whispering in my ears."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's answer, Ye Huan and Yang Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Others who were targeted would have no time to hide, but Chu Xingyun was different. In order to make these people shut up, he agreed without hesitation. It really made them speechless.
However, Chu Xingyun's words were reasonable.
Many people were not convinced that Chu Xingyun had directly become a core disciple. They would more or less target him. If Chu Xingyun could safely pass this test, then those people would be convinced.
In fact, there was another important reason why Chu Xingyun agreed to enter the Misty Forest.
Now that he had come to the Imperial City and obtained a core disciple slot, as long as he entered the Sky Tower, he would be able to smoothly obtain a cultivation treasure that would greatly increase his cultivation speed.
Chu Xingyun had already planned everything out. How could he shrink back and give up because of these small obstacles?
In his previous life, Chu Xingyun had dared to enter the Sea of Sin and climb Sky Spirit Mountain. He had visited all the forbidden areas and dangerous places in the True Spirit World and suffered countless assassination attempts.
In comparison, Chu Xingyun didn't place this assessment in his eyes at all. Instead, he was very interested and wanted to see what Xiao Ting and the Cloud Dream Martial House were planning to do.
"Since junior brother Chu has already made his decision, then alright. You must be careful." Ye Huan sighed and softly warned.
Chu Xingyun nodded his head, as his gaze inadvertently swept towards the direction of the Dreamy Cloud Martial House. Over there, there were already several cold gazes landing on them. Amongst them, the coldest one was none other than Shui Qianyue.
In the air above the Martial House area, there was a huge Spirit Beast. This Spirit Beast had the body of a lion, but a pair of wings on its back. Its entire body was surrounded by a fiendish aura that made people not dare to look up at it.
On the back of the Spirit Beast stood two figures. One of them was the number one beauty of Flowing Cloud, Xue Qingwu.
"So he is the Chu Xingyun that Uncle Yang spoke of. He is indeed frivolous and unruly, daring to mock Xiao Ting and Li Yi in public." Xue Qingwu's gaze fell on Chu Xingyun, her tone containing a trace of surprise.
"Frivolity is a good thing. If it was so easy to suppress, old man Yang would not have so readily given him a core disciple spot. I've heard that this child's alchemy talent is also extremely strong. In a short year, he has already become a second grade Alchemist." The person beside Xue Qingwu was an elder with a white beard, who similarly stared at Chu Xingyun.
"Becoming a second grade Alchemist in a year, such valiant talent." The shock on Xue Qingwu's face deepened. She could not help but ask: "Since that is the case, why did they still allow him to participate in the assessment?"
The elder's gaze slightly darkened as he shook his head and said: "I'm not sure about the specifics. I've only heard that this assessment was requested by the Cloud Dream Martial House with all their might. In order to obtain the approval of the four great Martial Houses, they paid a hefty price."
"Perhaps, this Chu Xingyun is hiding some secret that we do not know about. That is why the Cloud Dream Martial House is willing to pay such a hefty price to kill him in the cradle." At this point, the elder did not continue speaking as he continued to ponder in his heart.
