Gu Xuan's Request
After the battle between Gu Xuan and Lin He ended, it was Zhao Mayi and Song Tian's turn to fight. In the end, Song Tian was defeated by Zhao Mayi after blocking three moves.
At this point, the top three of the Heavenly Court Tournament had been determined. First place was Gu Xuan, second place was Lin He, and third place was Zhao Mayi. Chen Ba, who was originally in third place, had paid a heavy price for underestimating his opponent.
Gu Xuan's victory made many people sigh. In the first Heavenly Court Tournament, there were only two people who had obtained first place. Other than Gu Xuan, the other was Zhou Juechu. However, Zhou Juechu had chosen to hide his strength and only shocked everyone in the second Heavenly Court Tournament. At that time, Zhou Juechu was already at the peak of the Xuan Grade, and no one in the Heavenly Court could compare to him.
There were only two people who had the strength to obtain first place in the Heavenly Court, but only Gu Xuan had truly obtained it.
This made many people's thoughts run wild as they secretly guessed what kind of reward Gu Xuan would obtain. When Zhou Juechu had asked for 300,000 Treasure Points and was directly accepted, it had shocked the Heavenly Court.
The number of Treasure Points one obtained reflected the potential of the person in the upper echelons of the Heavenly Court. It was impossible for an ordinary first place in the Heavenly Court to obtain 100,000 Treasure Points. Other than Zhou Juechu, the most important person had only obtained a Middle Rank Cultivation Technique that was equivalent to 150,000 Treasure Points.
However, Gu Xuan was obviously not at the same level as those people. At least, he should be at the same level as Zhou Juechu. Moreover, Gu Xuan had obtained first place in his first Heavenly Court Tournament, so he should have obtained more than 300,000 Treasure Points!
Thinking of this, many students of the Heavenly Court were full of envy for Gu Xuan. 300,000 Treasure Points was a sum that all the elite students in the Heavenly Court could not obtain in a year.
Old Lin could not help but take another look at Gu Xuan. When he led the team to the Desolate Ruins, he was also amazed by Gu Xuan's performance. However, he did not pay much attention to it and only thought that Gu Xuan was lucky. He did not expect Gu Xuan to create a new record in the Heavenly Court Tournament a month later.
"Gu Xuan, according to the rules of the Heavenly Court Tournament, the student who obtained first place in the Heavenly Court Tournament can make a request of the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court will try its best to fulfill it. If you feel that the request is too high, you can change it or add some additional conditions.... You can go back and think about it...
Old Lin looked at Gu Xuan and said in a hoarse voice.
"There's no need to think about it." Gu Xuan shook his head. "I've already thought about it before. Can I mention it now?"
"Oh?" Elder Lin raised his eyebrows, clearly surprised.
Gu Xuan's words caused quite a commotion in the crowd. The reward for the champion of the Heavenly Court's Grand Competition had always been an extremely popular topic in the Heavenly Court. However, it wasn't easy to find out about it because one had to think about it for three days.
"I wonder what Senior Brother Gu Xuan will ask for."
"I have a feeling that he might ask for a high-grade cultivation technique."
"High-grade cultivation technique? I don't think so. Senior Brother Gu's cultivation method is probably a high-grade one. I think it's very likely that it's Treasure Points. It's not too much to ask for 350,000 Treasure Points to become the champion of the Heavenly Court competition as a freshman, right? "
"350,000 Treasure Points, isn't that even higher than Senior Brother Zhou's?"
…
Zhou Juechu's complexion became even more unsightly when he heard the discussions around him. Previously, these people had only compared him with Gu Xuan. But now, they actually thought that Gu Xuan was superior to him.
"Azure Dragon! If he dares to ask for a higher reward than mine, kill him regardless of whether the academy agrees or not! "Zhou Juechu glanced at the Azure Dragon Envoy behind him and said in a low voice.
"Yes!" The Azure Dragon Envoy's eyes flashed with a trace of sharpness. In his eyes, Zhou Juechu was his god. Whoever dared to challenge his god's dignity would be eliminated.
…
Old Lin observed Gu Xuan for a moment, before smiling helplessly. Gu Xuan had already thought of the reward for being the champion before the Heavenly Court Grand Competition had even started. He was truly a little too arrogant. However, Gu Xuan's strength did allow him to do so. Old Lin then slowly said, "Alright, you can name it."
"I want a chance to refine the Evil Spirit True Fire. When I'm at the Honorable Stage, I hope to immediately try refining it," Gu Xuan said in a serious tone.
"Evil Spirit True Fire?" Elder Lin frowned. "Are you sure you want this?"
"I'm sure." Gu Xuan nodded.
Elder Lin's frown deepened. "I hope that you can change your request."
"Why is that? With my performance, I should be worthy of this opportunity, right? "Gu Xuan asked doubtfully.
"Of course you're worthy. Your potential is far above your request. I just don't want you to waste this request. Three years ago, the top ranker of the Heavenly Court made this request. After failing, he lost everything. Originally, with his aptitude, he could have made a request equivalent to 50,000 treasure points. You should change it."
You can change it. "Elder Lin shook his head and stared at Gu Xuan." Although this request needs to be decided by the academy's higher-ups, I can guarantee that your reward won't be less than 250,000 treasure points. You can definitely ask for more. There's no need to waste such a great opportunity for such an illusory opportunity. "
The Evil Spirit True Fire was an existence that many experts of the Ying Tian Sect couldn't subdue. How arrogant was it? How could it take a liking to such a young student? The geniuses of the academy were still a few levels lower than the peerless geniuses of the Ying Tian Sect. These people were only sent to the academy because they failed. It was completely wishful thinking for them to refine it.
Therefore, only those with average talent but extraordinary performance would be given a chance to refine the Evil Spirit True Fire in order to save the reward. Sometimes, the academy would rather give a chance to refine the Evil Spirit True Fire than pay 30,000 treasure points. This was also because they could see how cheap this opportunity was. The price of one million treasure points in the Thousand Treasure Palace was actually a kind of consolation for those who obtained this opportunity.
"No need. I still want a chance to refine the Evil Spirit True Fire." Gu Xuan was unmoved.
"Sigh, up to you." Elder Lin's face was filled with helplessness. He even felt a little heartache for Gu Xuan.
Many students of the Heavenly Court also felt sorry for Gu Xuan. A request of at least 300,000 treasure points was actually exchanged by Gu Xuan for a chance to refine the Evil Spirit True Fire. This was really too unwise.
Geniuses were always arrogant. In their eyes, Gu Xuan belonged to this category. He might think that he could do something that others couldn't. However, in the end, he would only understand after tasting the pain of having his flesh cut off.
In everyone's eyes, the 300,000 treasure points was also a lesson that Gu Xuan bought for himself. However, the price was a little too high.
