Tower of Babel Trials
"Let's go to the Myriad Treasure Palace!" Su Tianxin said to Lin He with an ugly expression.
A hundred Level 3 Flame Beasts, even a Middle Stage Honorable Realm martial artist wouldn't be able to kill them in such a short time. Gu Xuan was merely an Eight Star Mystic Realm martial artist. It was still acceptable for him to be able to challenge those of a higher rank. How was it possible for him to kill a hundred Flame Beasts in a month?
"Yue Er, stay here." Su Tianxin turned to Liu Yue Er and said.
"Okay." Liu Yue Er nodded helplessly.
… …
The news of Gu Xuan heading to the Myriad Treasure Palace swept through the entire Yingtian Academy in an instant.
Although the Heavenly Court was different from the Outer Court and Inner Court, the Heavenly Court's Grand Competition was sensational enough to attract the attention of all the students in the academy.
Moreover, there were many new students in the academy like Gu Xuan. Gu Xuan's matter had caused an uproar.
Originally, everyone had forgotten about Gu Xuan because of the academy's rejection of his request. However, the news of Gu Xuan heading to the Myriad Treasure Palace had reignited the topic.
In their opinion, the academy's request was impossible to fulfill. However, if Gu Xuan had done it, it would be a terrifying matter.
In just half an hour, hundreds of people had gathered in the Myriad Treasure Palace.
Gu Xuan stood at the front of the Myriad Treasure Palace. On the table beside him, there was a Demon Executioner Plate with the number of one hundred written on it.
"How is this possible …"
Su Tianxin sucked in a breath of cold air, her eyes filled with unwillingness.
She was now a Five Star Honorable Martial Artist, but it was impossible for her to go to the Flame Beast Mountain Range and kill a hundred Flame Beasts. It would take her at least forty to fifty days, but Gu Xuan only used a little more than a month. Excluding the travel time, it was only a month.
"Damn it!" Su Tianxin's eyes were gloomy. She had thought that Gu Xuan wasn't good enough for Yue Er. However, after the incident at the Hall of Healing, she was filled with jealousy towards Gu Xuan.
Dugu Fengyun and the others, whom she looked up to, were actually waiting for Gu Xuan. They even sent Senior Sister Mo to pick Gu Xuan up. This made her very jealous. Therefore, Su Tianxin was happy for a long time after Gu Xuan's request was rejected.
However, Gu Xuan had completed the mission in just a month's time?
Su Tianxin snorted and said, "So what if he's back? That's just one of the conditions. Besides, the exam itself isn't important. What's important is the evaluation of the academy. It's meaningless to go against the academy's decision."
"Elder Lin has arrived!"
A moment later, the crowd became restless and automatically opened up a path for Elder Lin to walk in.
"Gu Xuan, sorry to keep you waiting." Elder Lin smiled. Whether the appraisal mission was completed or not, it would first need to be appraised by the teachers of the Ten Thousand Treasure Palace. After that, it would still need to be verified by a King level master.
"Nothing." Gu Xuan shook his head.
"Elder Lin, please Elder Elder... Elder Elder, Elder Elder Lin, Elder Lin ''s Elder Lin's, Elder Elder'. elder Elder Lin ''s
Elder Lin took a closer look and sighed, "It's indeed Gu Xuan's Demon Slaying Plate. He killed all of them with his own strength. There's no problem. I'll report it to the Old Ancestor."
Gu Xuan's words caused an uproar. Although Gu Xuan's Demon Slaying Plate had been appraised before and everyone believed that Gu Xuan would not lie, killing a hundred Third Grade Flame Beasts in a month was simply too crazy. They could not help but question the authenticity of this matter.
Now that it was confirmed by a King Stage expert, no one had any objections.
While everyone was sighing, they couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Gu Xuan's performance indeed proved that he didn't use any external force to get first place in the Heavenly Court. However, the most important thing for a cultivator was his potential. The level he could reach in the future would be valued by the academy.
As for battle strength and means, they were at most bonus points. They weren't fundamental.
The opportunity to refine the Evil Spirit True Fire was equivalent to forty to fifty thousand treasure points at most. In everyone's eyes, even if Gu Xuan completed the so-called additional conditions, it was only equivalent to proving that he was worth forty to fifty thousand treasure points.
However, this level wasn't worth mentioning for a true genius.
Most people came just to see if Gu Xuan had really killed so many flame beasts in a month. As for Gu Xuan's talent, they didn't pay much attention to it.
Elder Lin threw the Demon Slaying Plate to Gu Xuan with a helpless expression. He had always thought highly of Gu Xuan, but he didn't expect Ancestor Zi Feng to think that Gu Xuan had no future.
"Maybe my vision is still too short-sighted. The Old Ancestor has judged so many people over the years, and he has never been wrong." Elder Lin sighed in his heart. Soon after, he patted Gu Xuan's shoulder, "Work hard. If you break through to the Sovereign Stage, you can look for me if you need anything. I'll do my best to help."
Elder Lin's words could be considered an olive branch. However, there was no beggar. Most of the ordinary students would be taken in as disciples by King level experts after breaking through to the Venerable level. It was normal for Elder Lin to reveal his intention to take in a disciple. Although Gu Xuan was slightly inferior to many of the Sky Court's top students, he was still much stronger than the ordinary students.
Su Tianxin sneered in her heart. Generally speaking, one could see the level of potential from the apprenticeship. People with extraordinary potential like them were directly accepted as disciples by the Old Ancestor. King Stage experts wouldn't dare to compete with them. They could only wait for the two Old Ancestors to finish their selection and lose interest before inviting them to accept a disciple.
Gu Xuan hadn't broken through to the Sovereign Stage yet, but Elder Lin already had the intention to invite him. Obviously, it meant that the two Old Ancestors were no longer interested in Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and suddenly said, "Elder Lin, there's no need for the future. I need Elder Lin's help now."
"Oh?" Elder Lin raised his eyebrows with joy in his eyes. Although the ordinary students would only be accepted as disciples after breaking through to the Sovereign Stage, an exception could be made. Gu Xuan was already the best in the Sky Court, so it wasn't a big deal for him to take him as a disciple.
Although the Purple Wind Martial Sect's evaluation of Gu Xuan was "bad," Elder Lin still felt that Gu Xuan wasn't that bad. If he was an exception, then he would have gained a good disciple for free.
"I want Elder Lin to help me arrange the Heaven Connecting Tower's assessment!" Gu Xuan smiled and slowly said.
Hearing this unfamiliar name, the group of students looked at each other. Obviously, they didn't know that there was such an assessment in the academy.
On the other hand, Elder Lin and the other teachers from the academy were stunned.
