NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6
Chapter 6: Are You Sure?:
He felt a bit embarrassed.
In front of the younger generation, he actually seemed like a country bumpkin.
“No worries, Uncle Lui. This is a heartfelt gift from Gu Feng. Please accept it.” Gu Feng could easily tell that the Liu Fengyi wanted it.
The Spirit Gathering Pill he had condensed was pure, containing only spiritual Qi without any pill impurities.
When consumed, it would immediately transform into spiritual Qi.
For a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, it was an extremely beneficial pill.
Who could resist it?
“Then I’ll shamelessly accept it.” Liu Fengyi felt quite embarrassed, but his Nascent Soul Realm within was reaching out eagerly. This was his truest inner feeling.
After giving away the Spirit Gathering Pill, Gu Feng suddenly felt a burning gaze fall on him.
He turned his head to look.
On the stage, a disciple was staring intently at him.
“System, who is this? Do I know him?” he asked in his mind.
Generally, a cultivator’s memory was formidable, capable of recalling even events from thousands of years ago with clarity.
But Gu Feng wasn’t one to remember things outside of the plot.
So he asked instinctively.
Unexpectedly, the system responded.
[You don’t know him, but he is a minor child of destiny]
“What does that mean?” Gu Feng was puzzled.
[According to the system’s analysis, the Heavenly Dao has decided to raise geniuses, leading to many children of destiny appearing in this world. Ye Fan is merely the final victor]
Gu Feng began to understand.
The so-called geniuses were likely all individuals with a great destiny. Only those who survived could be called children of destiny.
Just like him, wasn’t he currently striving to become a child of destiny?
Gu Feng nodded in understanding.
He continued to sit by Liu Fengqing’s side, sipping tea.
“Now, I’ll announce the disciples advancing to the top hundred.”
“Bai Yuxiao, Wang Xueran, Wu Mengxu, Chen Qianji, Gao Fengyue…”
The elder on stage called out the names of the winners.
After announcing the last name, he continued, “Now, start choosing your masters.”
Gu Feng watched with interest.
The Lingyun Sect was different from the Zhengyuan Sect, where the elders chose the disciples.
He was among those not chosen.
His father had to pull some strings to finally get him into the inner sect.
“Elder, why is the Great Elder’s name not on the list?”
“If the Great Elder never took disciples, that would be one thing. But now that he already has a disciple, why still refuse to take more from the sect?”
“Could it be that he thinks we disciples participating in the competition aren’t talented enough?”
Amid the crowd, a voice rose. A young man with a dissatisfied expression holding a jade flute shouted toward Liu Fengqing.
He was Bai Yuxiao, the first place winner in this new disciple competition.
“Bai Yuxiao, how dare you be disrespectful to the Great Elder here? Do you wish to die?” The elder on stage, having collected the names, scolded coldly, immediately stopping the young man.
This new disciple competition wasn’t attended only by the Zhengyuan Sect members.
Many others were here to watch the spectacle.
For a newly entered top disciple to dare publicly challenge the Great Elder was bold.
If not for the public setting, the elder would have wanted to give him a slap to make him understand his place.
Many outer sect disciples were eagerly watching.
After all, they also hoped to be chosen by the Great Elder.
If they could learn from the Great Elder, why seek other elders?
“You wish to take me as your master?” Liu Fengqing stood up looking kind.
“Yes!” Bai Yuxiao bowed with the flute.
The jade flute in his hand was particularly eye-catching.
Liu Fengqing instantly recalled the flute’s origin, and with a light laugh, said, “Originally, I indeed planned not to take any more disciples. But since I’ve already made an exception, taking one more won’t hurt.”
He had already provided an opportunity.
Yet Bai Yuxiao stood straight, and stared toward Gu Feng: “But what I want is not just a disciple spot. As your last disciple, Gu Feng will be the senior brother of all Zhengyuan Sect disciples.”
“I think, as the senior brother, he should have exceptional strength. Today, I, Bai Yuxiao, challenge Gu Feng. If I win, I request the Great Elder to take me as his last disciple.”
In the cultivation world, it wasn’t necessarily the first to enter who became the senior brother.
The law of the jungle applied within the sect too.
So the Zhengyuan Sect wouldn’t intervene in disciple challenges.
Honestly, if this kid wasn’t challenging Gu Feng, Liu Fengqing would have quite admired him.
But this kid was choosing to kick an iron plate.
He glanced sideways.
Gu Feng was still sipping tea, and didn’t react much to the scene below.
“Gu Feng, do you dare accept the challenge?” Bai Yuxiao shouted.
The teacup clinked lightly against the lid.
Gu Feng raised his eyes, filled with disdain.
“You, challenge me?”
“Yes, to the death!” Having secured the top spot among new disciples, Bai Yuxiao’s jealousy and resentment transformed into reckless impulse.
He was fixated on dragging Gu Feng down from his pedestal.
Just a country boy.
Pretending to be noble, while still sitting there putting on airs, how infuriating!
“No need for a death match.” Liu Fengqing wanted to rub his forehead. This kid had no sense of danger.
If it were truly to the death, it would be Bai Yuxiao who died.
“Are you sure?”
