Are You Willing to Inherit My Legacy?
"This!"
Wu Jian was completely stunned. To think that the other party would use his physical body to block his sword. How strong must he be?
"Damn it!"
The killing intent in Wu Jian's eyes intensified. A Spirit realm pinnacle cultivator actually embarrassed him. Damn it!
Wu Jian channeled the power of flames once more. Just as he was about to attack Gu Xuan, the Mountain Suppressing Marquis bellowed, "Enough!"
Under the bellow of a Zun realm expert, Wu Jian's face turned pale.
"You didn't manage to injure Gu Xuan with your sword. Are you going to go against our agreement?" The Mountain Suppressing Marquis said coldly. He was the one who brought Gu Xuan here. Wu Jian mocked Gu Xuan time and time again.
Wu Jian glared at the Mountain Suppressing Marquis furiously with killing intent in his eyes. Even his teacher, a Zun realm pinnacle expert, didn't reprimand him. Yet, this ordinary Zun realm expert didn't give him any face.
"Just you wait. I'm weaker than you now. In eight to ten years, I'll take your life!"
Wu Jian said in his heart.
Gu Xuan frowned. This Wu Jian's character was too vile. Just because of a small conflict, he wanted to escalate it to a life and death grudge. It was a mistake for Mu shi to accept such a person as his disciple.
Forcefully suppressing the unwillingness in his heart, Wu Jian's face was filled with pain. He threw the bag filled with Spirit Crystals into Gu Xuan's hands, "How shameless of you to use such underhanded means. Since you covet my Spirit Crystals, I'll give them to you!"
At this moment, Wu Jian was incomparably furious. This time, Gu Xuan didn't rely on his true strength. He just used a trick.
If he knew that Gu Xuan would use such means, he would have used another killing move. At the very least, he would have used a stab instead of a weak chop.
Gu Xuan's body was like a rock. As long as he displayed his true strength, how could Gu Xuan not be injured?
When the three nominal disciples saw that Wu Jian had been defeated, their complexions turned pale. They had lent their money to Wu Jian, which was equivalent to gambling. If Wu Jian had won, they would have gotten 30% more. But now that Wu Jian had lost, their belongings would be in Gu Xuan's hands.
"Shameless!"
"Shameless to such an extent. If he didn't use such means, Senior Wu Jian would have killed him with a single slash!"
"Shameless!"
"This lowly person only knows how to play such shameless tricks."
The three of them could not help but curse. They had lost their Spirit Crystals, and they had vented their anger on Gu Xuan.
If Gu Xuan had used his true strength to receive Wu Jian's attack, they might have been convinced. But Gu Xuan had only used a "heretical method".
The previous bet between the two of them had also attracted the attention of many people. However, these people's impression of Gu Xuan was extremely bad now. In their eyes, Gu Xuan did not have any strength and could only resort to trickery. He was truly trash to the extreme.
After all, if Wu Jian unleashed his true strength, Gu Xuan might be instantly killed.
"Gu Xuan, just you wait. Once you enter the Yingtian Academy, I will let you know the consequences of provoking me. However, with your strength, I'm afraid you don't even have the qualifications to enter the Yingtian Academy!" Wu Jian sneered again.
"Gu Xuan," Mu shi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up as he stared intently at Gu Xuan.
There were quite a few people who were gloating over Gu Xuan's misfortune. It seemed like Gu Xuan's trickery had incurred the displeasure of the upright Mu shi.
What kind of figure was Mu shi? If he was displeased, Gu Xuan would be in deep trouble.
"Gu Xuan, are you willing to acknowledge me as your teacher and become the successor of my legacy?"
Mu shi's indifferent voice sounded once more, causing Wu Jian, the three registered disciples, and the spectators who looked down on Gu Xuan to be stunned.
Acknowledge Mu shi as his teacher and become his successor?
Even though Wu Jian was Mu shi's direct disciple, their relationship was only that of a teacher-student relationship in the Yingtian Academy. It was only slightly closer than those registered disciples who only listened to lectures.
But what was a successor? That was a true disciple. Registered disciples could only address one as' teacher ', core disciples could address one as' teacher ', and a successor could address one as' master '.
There might not seem to be much of a difference, but in reality, there was a huge difference.
Just what did Mu shi value about Gu Xuan that made him, a mere Spirit realm cultivator, want Mu shi to accept him as his successor?
Wu Jian's expression froze. As for the three registered disciples, they were dumbfounded.
Indignance flashed across Willow Deity's eyes. Previously, he wanted to be guided by Mu shi, but at this moment, Mu shi actually wanted to accept Gu Xuan as his successor?
Wu Jian gritted his teeth and took a step forward. With a grim voice, he asked, "Master, you haven't had a true disciple all this while, and I know that there is still a gap between me and my seniors. If you accept one of them as your successor, I won't object to it. But this Gu Xuan, what right does he have?"
Even though Wu Jian's words were a little rude, he had voiced out the doubts in many people's hearts. What right did Gu Xuan have?
Even Zhenshan Hou and Zhou Mei were perplexed. They knew that Gu Xuan's strength had exceeded his cultivation realm, but Gu Xuan's previous attack was just a coincidence. Why would Mu shi think highly of him?
"Wu Jian, I know that you are indignant." Facing his disciple's question, Mu shi didn't get angry. Instead, he chuckled. "Do you think that it was a coincidence that he was able to withstand your previous attack?"
"Yes, of course it was a coincidence. If I had known that he would resort to such means, I would have slashed his neck and pierced his eyes. How could he have possibly withstood that?" Wu Jian nodded his head directly.
"Foolish!" Mu shi sneered.
Wu Jian was taken aback. Mu shi was an easy-going person, and it was rare for him to reprimand his disciples. This was the first time he had spoken to him in such a manner.
"I thought that you would possess some intelligence, so even though your talent is mediocre, I still took you in as my core disciple. However, you have truly disappointed me. It is understandable that others are unable to see through Gu Xuan's means, but as the one who made the move, you actually failed to see through it? Foolish, foolish beyond belief! "
Mu shi's voice was filled with disappointment. "You know that the neck and eyes of a body cultivator are the vitals of a body cultivator, but do you think that Gu Xuan, a body cultivator, doesn't know that as well?"
Wu Jian was taken aback. He had been blinded by rage previously, so even if he knew the vitals of a body cultivator, Gu Xuan should have known as well. But why did Gu Xuan allow him to slash at him?
Mu shi harrumphed coldly. "The reason why Gu Xuan didn't retaliate is because he had already seen through your move. When you were stabbing at him, Gu Xuan had already gathered the power of flames in his palm, preparing to receive your attack. However, as soon as you changed your move, Gu Xuan changed his move as well. He had already predicted where you were going to stab at, so he didn't try to block it. Instead, he channeled all of the power of flames in his body into the area where your sword was about to stab at!
"As your sword slid, the power of flames in his body moved along with it, exactly the same as yours! Otherwise, do you think that a mere Spirit realm body cultivator like him would be able to withstand your attack? "
Hearing those words, the eyelids of quite a few people twitched.
