Five days later, dawn had just broken, and the Heavenly Court was bustling with noise and excitement.
The elite students gathered at the plaza in front of the Heavenly Court and stood neatly according to their rankings.
A huge battle platform had been set up around the square.
After waiting for a moment, a couple of figures walked in from outside. The one leading them was an old man with white hair and a youthful face. Gu Xuan was also familiar with this old man. He was the king level expert who had led them to the Desolate Ancient Remains earlier.
Behind him were five people. The four people at the back were all dressed in white robes. They stood respectfully behind the first person as if they were servants. Judging from the aura of these four people, they were all Honorable Realm experts.
The four supreme level students were all conferred the title of first class marquis by the dynasty, but they were willing to follow the person in front of them.
In the entire Yingtian Academy, only the legendary Four Kings could do such a thing. The one who had come this time was actually one of the Four Kings, Zhou Juechu!
"It's Senior Zhou Juechu!"
"I didn't expect to attract a Senior Brother of this level to watch the battle."
"Senior Martial Brother Zhou is a newly promoted Revered Rank student. It's rare to see him, but he actually appeared at this time."
"The four people behind must be Senior Brother Zhou's four followers."
"Four Zun level cultivators are following someone else. Only Brother Zhou can do that. The other three kings don't have such a privilege."
Zhou Juechu's appearance caused the Heavenly Court's students to burst into an uproar.
In the eyes of the ordinary students, the elite students were already high and mighty existences. As for Zhou Juechu, the gap between them and the elite students was even greater.
Naturally, the so-called Four Kings were not Kings. They had been conferred the title of Kings by the Great Desolate Dynasty while they were still students, and they received the same treatment as Kings.
Zhou Juechu was the newest and most monstrous King-Ranked student. The appearance of such an existence was even more eye-catching than a true King-Ranked expert.
Gu Xuan also looked over and sized up Zhou Juechu.
The latter was wearing a black robe and a large hat covered his entire face. A cold aura was emitted from his body.
"Peak of the Monarch Realm?" With Gu Xuan's Spiritual Strength, he could easily sense Zhou Juechu's cultivation level. Zhou Juechu had actually reached the Peak Zun Realm. He could not help but laugh in his heart. "What a genius."
Two years ago, Zhou Juechu had only broken through to the Honorable Realm. Two years later, he had advanced from the One Star Honorable Realm to the Peak Honorable Realm. This speed could not be said to be slow, but it did not have much impact on Gu Xuan.
In terms of talent, no one in the world could compare to Gu Xingyun. When he was adopted by Gu Xuan, he was only an Eight Star Spiritual Grade. Four years later, he was the same as Gu Xuan in his previous life. He was also a Peak Martial Emperor!
Compared to Gu Xingyun, Zhou Juechu was far too inferior.
Gu Xuan looked over and similarly sensed the latter's gaze looking over. However, it disappeared in a flash.
"Little friend Zhou, you can sit by the side. I didn't think that you would be willing to give this old man some face. When the time comes, don't be stingy and give these junior brothers some pointers." The old man stopped and laughed at Zhou Juechu.
"Elder Lin, you must be joking. I'm only a student. How would I dare to belittle myself and give pointers?" Zhou Juechu's voice was rather flat and emotionless. However, it seemed to carry endless majesty.
Elder Lin shook his head and smiled. Although he was a King Level teacher, in reality, he was only a One Star King Level. Zhou Juechu was known for his ability to challenge those of a higher level. Even he did not have the confidence to defeat Zhou Juechu.
Moreover, he was already more than 110 years old, and Zhou Juechu was not even 20 years old. The future of the two could not be compared. He was a King Level master, but he felt a trace of pressure next to Zhou Juechu.
Zhou Juechu sat on a stone chair next to the square. The four white-shirted youths stood behind Zhou Juechu in an orderly manner. They were meticulous.
"Master, among the newcomers this time, there is a rumor that Gu Xuan's talent is not inferior to yours. Have you checked him out?" One of them asked respectfully.
"Yes." Zhou Juechu nodded. Although he did not know Gu Xuan, his powerful perception allowed him to directly discover the person with the greatest potential among the crowd.
"How is it?" The person's voice was somewhat curious.
"Merely so-so." Zhou Juechu sneered.
The white-shirted person nodded his head: "I also feel that these elite students love to exaggerate. Master's strength is something that they know. Some of them displayed a bit of talent and thought that they could be compared to Master. That is simply wishful thinking."
"That's right. Although Master did not reveal his strength in the Heavenly Court competition that year, in truth, he already had the strength to fight for first place. And this Gu Xuan is merely a mere tenth place." Another person sneered.
Zhou Juechu shook his head: "I originally thought that I had found an opponent, but I did not expect him to be such a boring person. This time, I came here for nothing. I heard that this Gu Xuan has enmity with Luo Yi, who is ranked second on the Mountain River List. Let's see, if he can withstand three moves from Luo Yi, then I can barely take him seriously."
"Hehe." The white-shirted person laughed again, "That year, Master had strength, but was not willing to reveal it. He endured patiently until he broke through to the paragon realm. And this Gu Xuan's strength is far from Master's, yet he does not know how to endure. He truly does not know what is good for him. Eh, it's starting."
In the first round of the Heavenly Court competition, Zhao Mai Yi was the first to choose his opponent. When the crowd realised that Zhao Mai Yi did not choose Gu Xuan, but a random person, many of their expressions became mischievous.
In the Heavenly Court competition, one could not admit defeat. Only when one party lost their battle strength or fell off the stage would the victor be determined. It was a way to train the elite students.
The only person who could protect Gu Xuan was Zhao Mai Yi, the number one of the Heavenly Court. He directly chose Gu Xuan, leaving Luo Yi with no choice.
But Zhao Mai Yi did not do that. It was obvious that Zhao Mai Yi was not prepared to protect Gu Xuan, or rather, he had given up on Gu Xuan.
If that was the case, unless Gu Xuan's reaction speed reached the limit and jumped off the stage before Luo Yi could make a move, he would not be able to escape the humiliation.
The unlucky person who was chosen by Zhao Mai Yi braced himself and made a move, and was blasted off the stage. The first round of the competition had ended.
Zhao Mai Yi walked down the stage. Luo Yi who was waiting by the side sneered and jumped up, looking at Gu Xuan with ridicule: "I originally thought that you would continue to be a coward and let Zhao Mai Yi protect you. I never thought that it would be because Senior Brother Zhao thinks that you are too useless, and does not need to protect you anymore?"
