In the Mountain River Diagram, Gu Xuan slowly walked forward, trying his best to maintain his strength at the peak.
Sun Wushuang was considered one of the top candidates, but there were still a few people above him, not to mention some of the stronger seniors.
"If I break through to Xuan Grade Two Star, I can defeat Sun Wushuang if he doesn't use his full strength. Unfortunately, my strength is too strong, and it's difficult to break through. It's not that easy to improve."
Gu Xuan said leisurely.
Two days had passed, and Gu Xuan followed the direction Wang Sen told him, heading towards Mountain River City.
Along the way, he met many candidates, and in their eyes, Gu Xuan, a Xuan Grade One Star with a weak aura, was undoubtedly their best "prey".
However, these people paid a heavy price for their actions in the end.
Gu Xuan took out the token, and the number on the front had changed to "138", and the color of the token had changed to pure silver. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Which of the examinees here wasn't cautious? If they encountered someone with slightly stronger strength, they would immediately leave and would absolutely not stay. Wanting to seize another person's token could be said to be extremely difficult.
However, Gu Xuan's level was too low. No matter where he went, he would attract attention, and people would think of him as a meal on a plate.
Yesterday, there were even two people who fought over Gu Xuan, causing two Profound Grade Three Star martial artists to fight, completely ignoring Gu Xuan's existence. When one of them won and excitedly prepared to "take the token," he was casually slapped away by Gu Xuan.
After the number reached 70, the color of the token changed a little. It was a little silver-white, and seemed to be evolving into a silver token. Although Gu Xuan didn't know what the use of the token's color was, it was still beneficial.
Gu Xuan walked all the way, and finally passed through the Bald Rock Mountain area, and entered a grassland.
The closer he was to Mountain River City, the better the environment was. Seeing a grassland proved that Gu Xuan was not far from Mountain River City.
Gu Xuan's appearance attracted the attention of two people not far away.
"Senior Han Zhong, we have been waiting here for three days and we have only found one person. If this person's strength is too weak, why don't the two of us charge in. We still have a chance of defeating that Second Grade High Tier Flame Beast if we go all out." A young man dressed in grey clothes turned his head and said to the person beside him when he saw Gu Xuan appear.
"This place is already very close to Shanhe City. Normally, the weaker ones would stay in the outer area. It's already good enough to wait for one person. No matter what, at least one more person would increase our chances."
The young man who spoke had dark skin and bulging muscles. His voice was buzzing.
"Alright, but don't hold too much hope. As long as he can be ranked in the top 20, there's no harm in adding him. However, let me test him first." The grey-clothed youth shrugged and said in an unconcerned manner.
"That's good too. If he's not strong enough, he'll just be a burden," Han Zhong said with a nod.
"Yes." The grey clothed young man stretched his body, and then his body suddenly shot out explosively, transforming into a grey light that shot straight towards Gu Xuan.
"Seven-star Profound Grade Martial Artist?"
Gu Xuan's face changed slightly. He did not expect to find a genius who was stronger than Sun Wushuang when he just entered this place.
Gu Xuan did not hide his aura, and the grey-clothed young man soon discovered that Gu Xuan was only a one-star Profound Grade Martial Artist. He joked, "So you have a secret technique to hide your strength. Let's see if you can take one of my attacks."
Roar!
The grey-clothed young man put two of his fingers together as if they had turned into a sharp blade. His Qi was like a swimming dragon.
"Star Picking Hand!"
Gu Xuan's eyes narrowed, and seven secret runes appeared on his palm.
Bang!
The palm and finger collided, and both of their bodies shook. Gu Xuan took a step back, and the grey-clothed young man flipped in the air and landed on the ground.
"You're qualified to take one of my attacks with 50% of my strength. However, don't think that you can get close to me. My strongest point is my movement." The grey-clothed young man glanced at Gu Xuan and said lazily.
Gu Xuan frowned slightly. He was a little displeased by the grey-clothed young man's aloof tone. You have such a sense of superiority after just exchanging blows. How can you be sure that I'm going all out when you haven't discovered my strongest strength?
"Haha, junior brother, Chen Mang is like this. Don't mind him. I'm Han Zhong." The tanned young man, Han Zhong, also leaped over and smiled at Gu Xuan.
"I'm Gu Xuan." Gu Xuan looked at the two of them with a strange gaze. Han Zhong and Chen Mang were the top three in this assessment.
"Gu Xuan?" The two of them had obviously not heard of this name. After all, with their strength, they would only pay attention to the top ten.
"Why are the two of you looking for me? It can't be that you want to fight with me, right?" Gu Xuan glanced at the two of them and said slowly.
Han Zhong smiled, "Of course not. With our strength, we have already been accepted into the academy. What's the point of fighting with others? This time around, junior brother Chen Mang and I have found a treasure land. Hence, we want to ask junior brother Gu for help."
"Oh? What treasure land? If it's valuable, I can help. "Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"A place where Mysterious Spirit Fruits grow!" Han Zhong looked at Gu Xuan and confidently said.
"Mysterious Spirit Fruits? How many are there? How are we going to split them? " Gu Xuan's expression changed. This Mysterious Spirit Fruit was also a grade four elixir. However, its medicinal properties were mild and there was no need to refine it. It could be directly consumed and its medicinal properties were equivalent to a grade three elixir. If he obtained it, breaking through to the Xuan class two star would be a piece of cake.
"This Mysterious Spirit Fruit grows in a cave. There are as many as seven of them. As for the distribution …"
Before Han Zhong could finish speaking, Chen Mang sneered and said, "The distribution will depend on how much effort you put in. If you are even a little useful, you will be given one. If you are too useless, I'm sorry to say that you won't get a single one."
"Chen Mang, you are too much." Han Zhong frowned and said in a somewhat displeased manner.
"What's wrong with me?" Chen Mang crossed his arms. "We should have made things clear in advance. Otherwise, what if he continues to shamelessly insist on getting a share of the Mysterious Spirit Fruit after being a hindrance?"
Chen Mang lifted his head and looked at Gu Xuan. "It is best that you don't think too much about the distribution. You will get a share for every effort you put in. Honestly speaking, if it were not for the fact that the two of us are slightly weaker than that Flame Beast, you would not even have the qualifications to participate."
"Is that so?" A cold smile surfaced in Gu Xuan's eyes. "Since I am not qualified, I shall not disturb you any further."
After speaking, Gu Xuan directly turned and left, causing Chen Mang's expression to instantly freeze.
He was only unhappy that Gu Xuan was able to share the benefits with them even though he was weak. Hence, he wanted to bargain and give Gu Xuan a single Mysterious Spirit Fruit. However, he never expected that Gu Xuan would directly leave and ignore the allure of the Mysterious Spirit Fruit.
Gu Xuan sneered. This Chen Mang actually dared to make such a face when he wanted his help. If it was anyone else, they might have endured for the sake of the Mysterious Spirit Fruit. However, Gu Xuan would not. Since you disgust me, I'll just let you go.
"Chen Mang!" Han Zhong's expression also darkened. "We have waited here for three whole days. In another day, the Mysterious Spirit Fruit will completely ripen."
"I, I …" Chen Mang was at a loss as to what to do.
Once the Mysterious Spirit Fruit ripened, the Flame Beast guarding it would devour it. There would be no chance for them to obtain it.
Chen Mang's face was filled with unwillingness. Gritting his teeth, he shouted at Gu Xuan, "I was too rash previously. As long as junior brother is willing to help, regardless of your contribution, junior brother will receive a Mysterious Spirit Fruit. Senior brother Han and I will each get three."
Gu Xuan's footsteps paused. Then, he said in an indifferent voice, "Senior brother Han will get three, you and I will get two each."
"What!" Chen Mang could not help but feel enraged. "Senior brother Han and I discovered this place. Moreover, I am stronger than you. Yet, you actually want two. Isn't this daylight robbery?"
"You have no choice." Gu Xuan sneered and said, "I am clearer than you on how long it takes for the Mysterious Spirit Fruit to ripen. Either you give me two, or no one will get one."
"Gu Xuan, you are vicious! Are you really not going to give me any face? "Chen Mang gritted his teeth. However, he had no other choice.
"Face is earned by oneself. It is not given by others. If you don't give me face, why should I give it to you?" Gu Xuan coldly replied.
Chen Mang was burning with rage. However, at this moment, Han Zhong had already stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "Junior brother Gu, we have offended you previously. As long as you are willing to help, we can split it according to your method."
Chen Mang's face was filled with unwillingness. However, he held himself back and did not say anything. This matter was caused by him. Furthermore, Han Zhong was stronger than him. Since Han Zhong had already agreed, he did not have the guts to fall out with Han Zhong.
"Alright." Gu Xuan nodded. Then, he turned around and walked back.
Chen Mang's face darkened. Meanwhile, Han Zhong smiled and said, "Since junior brother Gu has agreed to work with us, you should show us your true cultivation right?"
"True cultivation?" Gu Xuan dispersed the Xuan class One Star aura from his body and shook his head, "This is my true cultivation."
"Shameless boasting!" Chen Mang sneered. Although he did not think that Gu Xuan's strength was comparable to his, he was still equivalent to a Xuan class Six Star. No matter how talented Gu Xuan was, how could he challenge a Xuan class Six Star when he was only a Xuan class One Star?
"Junior brother Gu, it is fine if you are unwilling to reveal your cultivation. After all, this is a private matter. However, when you fight with the Flame Beast later, don't hold back."
"Of course not." Gu Xuan nodded and did not explain further.
He was indeed only at the peak of the Xuan class One Star. Using the Star Plucking Hand, the God Weapon Technique, the Heavenly Fire and many other techniques, he was able to unleash a strength that was dozens of times stronger than his cultivation level. This was truly shocking.
