Have a spar
…
Many of the Mountain River List disciples dispersed, all of them heading towards their own residences, all of them sighing.
The trip to the Desolate Ancient Ruins this time was really exciting. First, Gu Xuan shocked the world with a single brilliant feat, setting the highest record in the Ancient Ruins with one hundred and ninety thousand treasure points. Then, there was the confrontation between Zhao Mayi and Luo Yi. What made them sigh the most was Gu Xuan's arrogance.
Gu Xuan actually asked Luo Yi to wash his mouth clean. This was truly shocking. Although it was a way to vent his anger, the price he had to pay was not small. If Gu Xuan could not defeat Luo Yi in a month's time, this humiliation would probably be returned to Gu Xuan by Luo Yi.
Today, Luo Yi's strength had also been proven. It had far exceeded the peak of the Profound Rank, and was incomparably close to the Revered Rank! No one would believe that a freshman would have the ability to defeat Luo Yi.
"Junior Brother Gu."
While Gu Xuan was walking, Zhao Mayi caught up with him with a smile on his face. "Junior Brother Gu, you don't mind if I travel with you, right?"
Gu Xuan also laughed: "To be able to form a relationship with the number one Senior Brother Zhao of the Mountain River List, I am afraid no one would reject it."
Zhao Mai Yi looked at Gu Xuan, and suddenly sighed: "That is just an ordinary person, I can feel that although junior brother Gu says that, in truth, he does not care about me, and even the people on the Mountain River List are unable to make junior brother Gu care."
Gu Xuan's gaze moved slightly. He looked at Zhao Mai Yi strangely. "Senior Zhao, you must be joking."
Seeing Gu Xuan's expression, Zhao Mai Yi confirmed his own guess, and laughed: "Although you say that, it is just to not embarrass me, and cover it up. In truth, the so called Mountain River List, the number one senior brother Zhao, is not even in your eyes. Ever since you entered the academy, I have been observing you, and you are definitely not an ordinary genius."
"Perhaps." Gu Xuan's expression was dull. He immediately shook his head in a self-mocking manner.
"However …" Zhao Mayi frowned slightly. "Although Junior Brother Gu is not ordinary, and his future achievements may leave us in the dust, but you do not have the strength now. A certain amount of forbearance is still necessary. For example, when Luo Yi wanted to attack you just now, you could have argued with reason, or reported to the academy and directly clashed with him, which would have caused you a lot of trouble."
"With Senior Brother Zhao's help, he still dares to touch me?" Gu Xuan had a playful look on his face.
"Junior Brother Gu, you think too highly of me." Zhao Mayi shook his head. "I'm only slightly stronger than him. Him dealing with you is already a violation of the academy's rules. Plus, my interference made him stop. However, the Heavenly Court Tournament is organized by the academy, so I can't interfere. He could have used this opportunity to deal with you."
"I know," Gu Xuan nodded.
"So Junior Brother Gu, you can only bear with it for the time being. I am the number one on the Mountain River List. When the time comes, I will be the first to choose my opponent. I will directly choose you. Although you have no fate with the final reward, but at least you will not be humiliated by Luo Yi." Zhao Mayi said.
Gu Xuan sized Zhao Mayi up. He did not expect that the latter would help him twice in their first meeting. He asked suspiciously: "Since Senior Brother Zhao has been paying attention to me from the start, and feels that my talent is outstanding, don't tell me you don't have any enmity towards me? Logically speaking, all the students on the Mountain River List should be competitors. "
"That's not bad." Zhao Mayi shook his head and laughed. "But in the world, there are too many geniuses. I am the number one on the Mountain River List, but that does not mean I am the number one in the Heavenly Court. I am afraid it is even harder to be ranked in the continent. What's the point of being jealous of others? I feel that you have the potential to become a peerless martial artist, so I will help you. When the time comes, you will definitely not be ungrateful right? "
Gu Xuan frowned. Previously, he felt that the youth in hemp clothes was not ordinary, but from the looks of it, the latter's performance had exceeded his own estimation.
Ignoring the fact that he could see that Gu Xuan was not ordinary, just based on his attitude, he would definitely become a powerful martial artist.
"So I am prepared to help you, and choose you as my opponent. I will help you avoid Luo Yi, and when you surpass me, you will definitely be grateful to me, and become a huge help to me. Of course, I think by then, we are already friends." Zhao Mayi raised his eyebrows and laughed.
He felt that those who felt that Gu Xuan's potential would be exhausted sooner or later, were in truth just blinded by jealousy. Gu Xuan's situation was similar to Zhou Jue Chu's in the past, just that Zhou Jue Chu liked to endure silently, while Gu Xuan was flamboyant. So, he determined that Gu Xuan's achievements would be limited?
That was truly laughable.
After Gu Xuan's rise, even if he did not reach Zhou Jue Chu's level, and only had a portion of Zhou Jue Chu's talent, being friends with such a person would be beneficial to his future path.
"I never thought that the number one on the Mountain River List would be such a person." Gu Xuan shook his head helplessly, and laughed involuntarily: "But if I am not an ungrateful person, I would not have asked you to choose me as your opponent."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Mayi was startled.
"Because the number one in the Heavenly Court competition can make a request to the Institute, and I have to fight for it. If you choose me, then only one of us will be left." Gu Xuan said slowly.
Zhao Mayi opened his mouth, obviously not expecting Gu Xuan to say such words, and laughed: "Junior brother Gu wants to fight for the number one position in the Heavenly Court, I think it will not take long, next year will be enough. As for fighting for the number one position this year, you are underestimating me."
Gu Xuan did not say much, and only said: "Senior brother Zhao, are you willing to spar with me?"
"Now?" Zhao Mayi was surprised.
"Right now." Gu Xuan nodded his head. What he said just now, Zhao Mayi might have treated it as a joke, but he was not joking. In the Heavenly Court competition once a year, the number one could make a request to the Institute. The request could be big or small, and the Institute would decide based on the value of the student.
If they did not agree, they could change the request, and in truth, it was a very attractive reward.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the request was not too excessive, the Institute would not choose to reject, so as to not lose face.
If Gu Xuan obtained the number one position, then he could definitely ask for a chance to subdue the Evil Spirit True Fire! Someone had mentioned this request before, and it was agreed to!
Although that disciple had failed in the end, but it proved that the request was feasible!
So he had to fight for the number one position, and if Zhao Mayi wanted to choose him, he could only defeat Zhao Mayi. At that time, Zhao Mayi, the number one in the Mountain River List, would be eliminated in the first round, and would become a laughing stock.
Although Gu Xuan rarely explained things, it depended on who he was talking to. Zhao Mayi had tried to help him twice, and he was so honest that he had gained Gu Xuan's approval. Since that was the case, it was necessary to explain.
Zhao Mayi thought for a moment, then nodded his head: "That's good too."
Zhao Mayi also noticed Gu Xuan's seriousness, and felt helpless in his heart. Previously, when he heard others say that Gu Xuan was arrogant, he did not believe them, and thought that they did not understand Gu Xuan's strength.
But from the looks of it, Gu Xuan was truly arrogant, no matter what, he was still the number one in the Mountain River List, and had stabilized his position for a year, but Gu Xuan actually wanted to challenge him, that was truly ….
Zhao Mayi pointed to a valley at the side, and Gu Xuan nodded his head. The reason why the top few people in the Mountain River List did not fight for a long time was to prevent their martial arts from being exposed.
When the two of them arrived at the valley, Zhao Mayi's face congealed. Although he did not think that Gu Xuan was strong, but he had never belittled anyone in the Mountain River List.
"Junior brother Gu, let's attack together!"
Gu Xuan nodded his head: "Alright!"
Bang!
At the same time, the two of them activated their flame powers, and their Qi soared into the sky!
At that moment, Zhao Mayi then realized that their Qi was actually about the same.
Generally speaking, Qi was equivalent to strength, and with Gu Xuan's Qi, he was most likely not much weaker than him.
Zhao Mayi took out a sword from his back, and with the power of the flame imbued in, the sword's body flickered with a layer of light aura that was extremely oppressive.
Gu Xuan also extended his palm out, with 30 Star Plucking Mysterious Runes flickering on his hand.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two of them leaped up at the same time, one palm and one sword, clashing 10 times in the air.
At the start, the two of them were just probing each other, but as time went on, the power they unleashed became stronger, and when the two of them unleashed their strongest power, Zhao Mayi's face finally changed.
He originally thought that Gu Xuan would be able to receive 50% of his power, and that would be enough, but now that he had unleashed 100% of his power, Gu Xuan was still not at a disadvantage.
Gu Xuan's strength was actually not below his?
"Junior Brother Gu, it seems that I have underestimated you. I originally thought that only Luo Yi could force me to unleash my strongest martial art, and that I had prepared it for the Heavenly Court Grand Competition. I never expected that I would have to use it now, so be careful!"
Zhao Mayi flew back, and the power of the flame on his sword suddenly condensed to the extreme, forming a sharp white light with a chilling aura!
"Cold Light Slash!"
With a low cry, Zhao Mayi's sword shook, and the chilling white light expanded to a length of several feet, slashing heavily at Gu Xuan!
This slash tore through the air, as though it was splitting the heavens and earth, and splitting Yin and Yang.
Gu Xuan's gaze turned solemn, and the light in his hand shone brightly, as he threw a punch at the sword light!
Bang!
The two powerful forces collided, and an explosion occurred. The energy that scattered in all directions crazily twisted, causing the air in front of the two to become a little blurry.
"Cough cough!"
Zhao Mayi coughed twice, and his face was a little pale. He was forced to take a few steps back by the terrifying force, and he could not help but look forward.
Gu Xuan, who was in front of him, was still standing at the same spot, and the starlight in his hand was not damaged at all.
