1677 Astonishing the World
Hua Xianyuan said with a look of eagerness on his face. It had been a long time since he had met someone of the same generation who could compete with him. In the past, his competitors were martial arts experts who were ten, twenty, or even thirty years older than him. Even so, they would often be beaten up by him into a sorry state. It was difficult for him to meet a match, let alone those of the same generation. It was an extravagant hope to block even a single move from him.
However, Chu Yunfan was different. Although Hua Xianyuan hadn’t used 100% of his strength, he had at least used 70%, and Chu Yunfan had easily withstood his attack. One could imagine that Chu Yunfan had a trump card that he had yet to use. This mysterious fellow disciple was powerful enough to make him look askance.
“If the seniors who are interested in winning the championship hear about this, I’m afraid they’ll treat you as a thorn in their side.” Chu Yunfan smiled as he looked at Hua Xianyuan.
“So what? Among the people in this batch, the only one I’m interested in is you. The rest are all mediocre and are not worth worrying about,” Hua Xianyuan said, “As for the seniors, they’re even less impressive. They’re just wasting their time. They rely on their seniority and are nothing special.”
Hua Xianyuan clearly didn’t care about the senior disciples. Whether they were old or new disciples, it made no difference to him. His goal was clear, and that was to become the leader of the Flying Celestials—to become a powerful figure that could cause all of Grand Xia to tremble with a stomp of his foot.
These people were not even stumbling blocks on the road. As long as he had time to cultivate, he could surpass and crush them all. Only Chu Yunfan gave him an unfathomable feeling.
“Who says that new disciples can’t win? I don’t believe that. There’s still half a year before the inner disciple competition. That’s more than enough,” Hua Xianyuan said confidently.
To ordinary people, half a year was just a snap of the fingers, but to Hua Xianyuan, it was enough to change a lot.
Chu Yunfan frowned slightly, but then he relaxed and said, “I find what you said interesting. There indeed is nothing wrong with a new disciple winning the championship.”
“All right then, this bet is settled. Train well. Don’t disappoint me because I will definitely be the one who will have the last laugh. Don’t disappoint me!”
Hua Xianyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his words revealing an unprecedented confidence. Whether it was a new disciple or an senior disciple, there was no difference in his opinion. In this world, absolute strength spoke, not qualifications.
“And don’t lose before you meet me. Otherwise, it’ll be sucha a shame,” Chu Yunfan said nonchalantly.
“See you soon.” Hua Xianyuan turned around and left.
Hua Xianyuan’s proposal made Chu Yunfan feel a little excited. He knew that if he wanted to rise up in a short time and even be comparable to Li Qianyuan, he could not do without the cultivation of the Flying Celestials. Only by showing enough value would he be able to receive special treatment from the sect.
“The inner disciple competition in half a year? It would have be done even if you didn’t make a sound. But since you’ve come forward, it will be shocking.” Chu Yunfan clenched his fists.
After making up his mind, Chu Yunfan activated all the barriers and arrays around his residence. Then, he entered the Mountain River Diagram and began to cultivate in seclusion.
The bet between Hua Xianyuan and Chu Yunfan spread. Although Chu Yunfan did not speak out, Hua Xianyuan was not afraid to talk about it. He did not fear the senior disciples, He treated them as if they did not exist.
The moment this bet was announced, everyone was shocked. It was not strange for new disciples to participate in the inner disciple competition. Over the years, many outstanding new disciples had participated in the competition, and their rankings were pretty good. However, it was unprecedented for someone to shout that they wanted to win when they were still a rookie.
Many people even thought that they had misheard. After confirming the authenticity of this matter repeatedly, they were instantly in an uproar. How audacious! Although Chu Yunfan and Hua Xianyuan were considered outstanding existences among the new disciples, they were only so compared to their peers. They were crazy to compete with the senior disciples who had entered the sect for who knew how many years.
“Arrogant, too arrogant. Do they think that the competition is just between the new disciples?”
“They don’t know their place. The rookies of this batch are no good. There are actually two such arrogant people.”
Many people shook their heads in disdain. In their eyes, Hua Xianyuan had a chance to become a true disciple in the future, or even reach a higher position. However, if it was now, they were still stronger.
“Hahaha, interesting. This year’s rookies are really interesting. I can’t wait to teach these two ignorant brats a lesson.”
There were also some people who rubbed their fists and wanted to teach these two ignorant people a lesson.
“They’re so arrogant. They think they can be just because they are respected among their peers. Many of us were respected among our peers too.”
“Forget about Hua Xianyuan. I’ve heard about him. It’s said that he has a mysterious bloodline in his body. His strength is unfathomable, and there’s no bottleneck in his cultivation. But who is Chu Yunfan?”
Many people only knew some information about Chu Yunfan, which was that he had become a seed disciple while in the Golden Core Stage. Although it was considered shocking, it was meaningless in the eyes of a true expert. Any genius who died prematurely had no meaning. Only the last laugh would live on.
“Chu Yunfan comes from the Violet Thunder Prefecture. He might have the inheritance of the Violet Thunder Sword Sect. Although the Violet Thunder Swords has declined, it was a behemoth that was at least one of the ten great sects. Even if he only has some knowledge, it’s still extremely impressive.”
Slowly, a rumor spread among the crowd, and even among the small circles of many experts, the heat even surpassed the news of Chu Yunfan and Hua Xianyuan claiming to win the championship.
For a moment, those people looked at Chu Yunfan with greed in their eyes as if he wasn’t a person, but a moving treasure vault.
