Rejection Once More
Just how fast was Wu Jian's attack? Yet, even under such circumstances, Gu Xuan was still able to remain unfazed. Just how fast was his reaction?
What was even more frightening was that Gu Xuan was still able to estimate the might of the sword and accurately condense the power of the flames into a single point.
The power of flames could be condensed into a protective barrier that covered one's entire body. However, if one were to condense the barrier into a single point, it would be much more effective. However, no one would do such a thing.
After all, they weren't able to read the other party's mind. Who knew where the other party would attack? If one were to fully protect one's body, it would definitely be effective. However, if one were to condense the barrier into a single point, one might be killed instantly.
Yet, not only did Gu Xuan condense the barrier into a single point, he even condensed it to the size of a needle and moved it along with the tip of Wu Jian's sword. Just how frightening was his control?
Monster!
At this moment, there was only one thought in the minds of the crowd. Gu Xuan was a monster, a monster from head to toe.
If he wasn't a monster, it would be impossible for him to achieve such a feat.
Gu Xuan's eyebrows shot up as he glanced at Mu shi with a peculiar look in his eyes. Mu shi's means could be said to have been executed casually. As a grade-7 apothecary in his previous life, his soul was sufficiently powerful to allow him to control his Origin Energy so meticulously.
However, Gu Xuan didn't expect Mu shi to be able to tell that this Zun realm cultivator was extraordinary.
Mu shi looked at Gu Xuan and asked, "Gu Xuan, are you willing to become my disciple?"
This time, no one doubted Mu shi's invitation anymore. Instead, they were filled with envy. Gu Xuan was able to achieve what Mu shi had said previously. They had to admit that they were no match for Gu Xuan.
"I already have a teacher." Gu Xuan shook his head.
"Sigh, you can become my registered disciple then." Mu shi sighed helplessly.
"Paying respects to teacher." Gu Xuan bowed with a smile.
"Un." Mu shi nodded helplessly. He glared at Zhenshan Hou, thinking that Gu Xuan was a good seedling that had been poached away by him.
Zhenshan Hou smiled bitterly. He did want to take Gu Xuan in as his disciple, but Gu Xuan looked down on him. What could he do?
Mu shi also understood Marquis Zhenshan's expression, and he burst into laughter. "So, Little Zhou Feng, you didn't succeed as well. That makes me feel much better!"
"So Gu Xuan already has a master. No wonder he rejected my invitation to take him in as a disciple several times. That's right. How could such a monstrous talent like Gu Xuan not have anyone to teach him?" Mountain Suppression Marquis shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Many people looked at each other. They were all shocked.
It was very difficult for them to become the disciple of a Paragon expert. If they were favored by a Paragon expert, even if it was a weak one, it would be enough to make them go wild with joy.
However, Gu Xuan seemed to have reversed the situation. Every single Zun realm expert wanted to take him in as his disciple, but not only did Gu Xuan reject them, he even made Mu shi and the others regret not making a move on him.
"Let's disperse. Why are you all gathered here?" Mu shi glared at the surrounding youths and snapped. This was the first time he had been rejected when he tried to accept someone as his successor. How could he allow these people to embarrass him?
"Wu Jian, Zhou Mei, let's go." Mu shi beckoned them over. Then, he turned to his three direct disciples and said, "The three of you will be participating in the examination as well. Lead Gu Xuan and the others to familiarize themselves with this place."
"Yes!"
The three of them didn't dare to disobey the order. However, they were still unwilling to accept it. No matter what, they were Mystic 3-star cultivators. Yet, they had to lead the way for others.
Zhou Mei and Wu Jian followed Mu shi into the academy. On the other hand, Mu shi's three direct disciples led Mountain Suppression Marquis and the others to the temporary lodgings arranged for the examinees.
"Every examinee can stay in one of the pavilions in front. As long as you find an empty pavilion, you can use your token to open the restriction outside."
"The examination will take place three days later. At that time, all examinees will enter the Mountain River Painting together. During these three days, you will be relatively free."
"Marquis's residence is also here. However, you don't need a token. As long as you display the might of your Zun realm flame, the restriction outside the pavilion will automatically be removed."
Even though the three of them were displeased, they still introduced Zhang Xuan carefully, not daring to show the slightest bit of disrespect. Of the three of them, Gu Xuan was an existence that even Mu shi thought highly of. Marquis Zhenshan was a powerful figure, and Willow Deity, who always had a grim expression on her face, seemed to be even stronger than Gu Xuan.
Fortunately, Gu Xuan and the others didn't beat around the bush. They chose three pavilions immediately.
After Gu Xuan chose one, Mountain Suppression Marquis chose the pavilion beside it. As for Willow Deity, he hated Gu Xuan to the core. Thus, he chose to keep a distance from Gu Xuan.
"Hmph! Gu Xuan, you might seem impressive now, but in less than two days, I will leave you far behind! "Willow Deity thought.
He also had his own trump card. The reason why he didn't use it previously was because there wasn't a suitable opportunity. However, at this crucial moment, Willow Deity decided to use this trump card.
Once he used this trump card, he would definitely leave Gu Xuan far behind — at least, that was what he thought.
This pavilion was antique and had many rooms. However, Gu Xuan wasn't in the mood to admire them. He went directly to the cultivation room at the center and sat down.
"Tsk tsk, Gu Xuan, I didn't expect your control to be so strong. I saw that white-bearded old man looking at you as if he wanted to eat you up."
As soon as he sat down, Yun Xi's exclamation came from within his body.
The scene outside was naturally within Yun Xi's perception.
However, Yun Xi didn't find it strange. She had observed Gu Xuan's soul before. It was really ridiculously strong. It was very easy for him to do this.
"Yun Xi, try to hide your aura. Otherwise, if you are discovered, there will be big trouble." Gu Xuan reminded, "There should be King realm cultivators in Yingtian Academy. Even though they might not have such knowledge, there is still a certain amount of danger."
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." Yun Xi snorted and said.
"I'm just taking precautions. However, the King realm cultivators here shouldn't have such knowledge." Gu Xuan pondered.
"You are quite knowledgeable. When you say this, I almost believe that you have seen many King realm cultivators." Yun Xi joked.
Gu Xuan smiled but didn't care. Wang Clan cultivators? In his previous life, he could come and go as he pleased with a wave of his hand. He could have as many as he wanted.
Gu Xuan placed the bag of Spiritual Crystals in front of him. These Spiritual Crystals were enough for him to break through to the Xuan realm.
"3,000 Spiritual Crystals? I have already refined a lot of them. I don't have my initial concerns. My current speed can't be compared to before. Three days should be enough. "Gu Xuan muttered.
