Challenge?
Looking at Gu Xuan's back, Fang Hong gritted his teeth and angrily said, "Gu Xuan, in three days, I will be waiting for you at the Grand Competition Plaza of the Heavenly Court. I want to see if you have the guts to go there."
After speaking, Fang Hong turned around and left. In fact, although he had come here under Dragon King Tian's orders, he was also displeased with Gu Xuan.
He was only twenty years old, but he was already a three-star Venerable, but he was only a second-class Marquis!
However, Gu Xuan was just seventeen years old, and his cultivation level was at the Xuan level, but he was actually bestowed the title of King. If it was someone stronger than him, then it would have been fine. However, Gu Xuan's strength was far inferior to his, which made him furious.
Why was Gu Xuan able to be conferred the title of King, while he couldn't even be conferred the title of First Grade Marquis?
Although Skysplit Tower was persuasive enough, the current Skysplit Tower had already left everyone's sight. The only understanding they had was after Gu Xuan reached the fourth floor of Skysplit Tower.
Under such circumstances, ordinary students would believe in the academy without a doubt, thinking that whatever the academy said was correct. However, those supreme students already had some arrogance. Moreover, they had also come into contact with a higher level. It could be said that they had their own thoughts.
They believed in what they saw with their own eyes. As for the evaluation of others, it could only be used as a reference.
…
After returning to the academy, Gu Xuan did not go straight to the Purple Wind Martial Sect. Instead, he went to look for Zong Qi and took all the Flame Fusing Pills. The most important thing in refining the Evil Spirit True Fire was the Flame Fusing Pills. Without the help of the Flame Fusing Pills, refining the Earth Fire would not be an easy task even with the suppression of the Heaven Fire and the cooperation of the Evil Spirit True Fire.
Although Gu Xuan could definitely refine it successfully, it might take one or two years. What Gu Xuan lacked the most now was time. It was uncertain whether Gu Xingyun would leave the Great Wilderness Dynasty or not. Even if Gu Xingyun left, there was still the Gu Family in the Holy City. This family was founded by Gu Xingyun. Sooner or later, they would cross paths.
Once discovered by Gu Xingyun, Gu Xuan would have to bear the brunt of a calamity.
A hundred years ago, Gu Xingyun was already a Great Emperor. Now, it had been a hundred years. With Gu Xingyun's talent and the elixir in Ye Futian's spatial ring, Gu Xingyun's strength had probably reached an unimaginable level.
Although Gu Xuan wasn't sure what the situation was like, it was always good to increase his strength as soon as possible.
After obtaining a large number of Flame Melting Pills, Gu Xuan handed all of them over to Yun Xi to purify. Meanwhile, Gu Xuan took out another batch of Flame Melting Pills. These pills were taken away by Gu Xuan when he left Yingtian Academy. Yun Xi had already purified them in her spare time, so they could be consumed directly.
After swallowing the Flame Melting Pill, it would produce a strange medicinal energy that would fuse with the martial artist's body. It would cause the martial artist's body to change accordingly, making it more suitable for refining flames. Before refining the Evil Spirit True Flame, Gu Xuan had to completely absorb these pills.
…
The news of Gu Xuan's return to the academy spread like wildfire within a day. Every piece of news about Gu Xuan was the focus of the entire Yingtian Academy.
Gu Xuan was a genius that was even more heaven-defying than Zhou Juechu. Furthermore, he had yet to mature. Naturally, people were even more curious about Gu Xuan's performance, and whether or not he was worthy of such a shocking evaluation.
On this point, he was different from Zhou Juechu. Zhou Juechu had already matured, and the students were simply unable to reach him. However, Gu Xuan's current cultivation was only at the Xuan Rank. After disappearing for four months, there would definitely be some progress in his cultivation.
However, Gu Xuan was too low-key. He was so low-key that there was no news about him at all. This also caused many Venerable Rank warriors to have doubts about Gu Xuan's cultivation realm.
In their eyes, Gu Xuan was too arrogant and overbearing. He shouldn't be so low-key. In these four months, Gu Xuan didn't have any performance. It was probably because his cultivation realm was ordinary. He felt that he wasn't worthy of his status, so he deliberately hid his strength.
After Fang Hong announced that he would challenge Gu Xuan, it caused another uproar.
Fang Hong was a three-star Venerable Rank. Although he was far higher than Gu Xuan, since Gu Xuan was an existence that could be conferred the title of King at the Xuan Rank, it was normal for him to challenge someone a few levels higher.
Even Zhou Juechu, after reaching the Venerable Rank, would be able to defeat a three-star Venerable Rank after waiting for four months.
Gu Xuan had shocked everyone in the Grand Competition of the Mysterious Sky Academy. It was already confirmed that he had the strength of a one-star Venerable Rank. Now, with the academy's many resources to nurture him, it would be unreasonable if he couldn't even defeat a three-star Venerable Rank.
However, Fang Hong's declaration of war still didn't receive any response. Even when Fang Hong sent people to provoke Gu Xuan, there was no response.
This also made many people's thoughts active. Gu Xuan actually wanted to avoid the challenge of a three-star Venerable Rank warrior. This was too unreasonable. Could it be that the rumors were true? That the Tong Tian Tower had not been used for a long time and had lost its ability to measure geniuses? That Gu Xuan could reach the fourth floor of the Tong Tian Tower only by luck?
"Brother Hong, we've already 'invited' Gu Xuan three times in front of his tower. There's still no movement from Gu Xuan. I think this Gu Xuan must be afraid."
On the Heavenly Academy's battle platform, Fang Hong and two other people stood on it. One of them said to Fang Hong in a mocking tone.
"This Gu Xuan really doesn't live up to his name. Today is already the fourth day and Gu Xuan still hasn't appeared. I think he's really afraid and went against the agreement. He has already lost. Why are we still waiting for him?" The other person said.
"No!" Fang Hong's lips curled into a cold smile. "It's only been a day since the agreed time, so it doesn't mean anything. He can just find an excuse and wait for two more days. If Gu Xuan doesn't show up, then he'll lose all his reputation. If he does, then it'll be perfect. I'll defeat him on the spot and show everyone what a genius is like."
At this moment, Fang Hong had absolute confidence in his battle with Gu Xuan. He said that he had agreed to meet Gu Xuan three days later. However, it was already the fourth day and Gu Xuan still hadn't appeared. This meant that Gu Xuan had breached the agreement.
This was enough to show that Gu Xuan didn't dare to fight with him. This also made Fang Hong very proud. He thought that he had won an opponent and was very happy.
Defeating Gu Xuan and exposing Gu Xuan's true talent was a great feat. He, Fang Hong, was considered an influential figure in the academy. Moreover, the higher-ups of the academy would probably reward him. Even if he offended Gu Xuan, there was nothing to be afraid of with Dragon King Tian protecting him.
Many people also thought so. Gu Xuan's talent had already made many Venerable Rank students jealous. Now that they had a chance, they couldn't wait to expand it by ten times or a hundred times and ruin Gu Xuan's reputation.
