Chapter 235: Not Entering His Eyes
*Bam!*
"Woah. His punch is worth 800 Jin? He’s strong."
"That’s right. We usually only focus on our elements, so our strength can’t be that good."
"That’s right. His cultivation is at Body Foundation Stage, so this strength is already above many of them despite his element to be that strong."
"Good, good, good." Wen Qing nodded and said, "You have a good potential. Are you going to go to your uncle? Or do you want to worship me as your master?"
When Gu Fei heard it, he noticed how beneficial it was to become Wen Qing’s disciple. She was equal to his uncle, so if he became Wen Qing’s disciple, he could get the help of two elders. That was why he could run even more rampant inside the sect with the backing of two elders.
Hence, Gu Fei clasped his hands and said, "I wish to follow Master."
"Good." Wen Qing nodded and glanced at Albert. "This is what it means to have the potential and result, not an empty boasting."
Gin gritted his teeth and thought, ’This woman... I thought she was just cold but righteous. It seems she’s just a mean b*tch. I’m going to beat this woman up when I have the strength. Just you wait.’
Albert only shrugged as if he didn’t care much about the result.
"Do you want to show something special for the third test? Without it, you’re already qualified to become an Inner Disciple." Wen Qing asked.
"What? So, we have an Inner Disciple already?"
"He’s too fast."
"But his cultivation is Foundation Stage"
"It’s not enough to become an Inner Disciple. He also has that talent in element. No wonder Elder Wen Qing accepted them."
"It’s over for those two who’s offending Gu Fei."
Gu Fei smirked and looked at them. His face was telling them that they would have a huge trouble when they entered the sect because he wouldn’t leave them alone.
However, there were two other people that didn’t care about Gu Fei’s threat and arrogance.
A youth soon came to the platform and politely greeted both elders before ignoring Gu Fei and placing his hand on the crystal.
Gu Fei had already taken all the attention, so it wouldn’t be bad to use his own talent to grab that attention to himself.
This time, the crystal shone in dark blue and light blue.
"There it is. It is Hei Xuan, the one who possesses two elements in his body! And to make it even more perfect, the elements are Water and Ice that complement each other."
"Woah."
"Gu Fei finally has his match."
The young man next to the crystal observed it for a moment and said, "Water and Ice Elements with both Grade 5 elements. Ice River Physique. Excellent."
Everyone was stunned by Hei Xuan’s talent. Although his grade was below Gu Fei, he had two elements, which could be said to be superior than one Grade 6 Element.
"Impressive." Li Mu smiled and waved to him. "Young man, you’re good."
"Thank you, Elder Li Mu." Hei Xuan clasped his hands and politely bowed. However, he was shaken when Li Mu didn’t say anything more. He thought Li Mu calling him because he wanted to make him his disciple, but he was wrong.
Li Mu simply returned to his seat as if nothing happened.
"Li Mu, you..." Wen Qing looked at Li Mu in shock. Despite being a fellow elder, Wen Qing precisely knew Li Mu’s strength. It was clear that Li Mu was above her in terms of strength and authority. In fact, Li Mu was known to be one of the three biggest elders inside the Five Elements Mountain. Receiving his favor was simply becoming a phoenix in one go.
That was why Li Mu had a big standard. At this time, he only received one talented disciple that had shaken the Five Elements Mountain. Someone who possessed a Grade 8 Element.
"You’re not going to take him?" Wen Qing furrowed her eyebrows.
"Ah, sorry. It seems that my standard is too high. Well, I have selected my own disciples this time, so you can just grab whoever you want." Li Mu shrugged.
"In that case, don’t blame me." Wen Qing immediately approached Hei Xuan. "Do you want to follow me?"
"Disciple Greets Master." Hei Xuan, although disappointed, accepted Wen Qing as his master. It seemed his talent wasn’t enough to enter Li Mu’s eyes.
"Take the rest of the test and go to the side. I’ll bring you together after this selection process."
"Understood." Hei Xuan followed her instruction.
As if having the same thought, a beautiful young woman entered the platform and immediately placed her hand on the crystal.
As expected, she instantly grabbed all the attention from Hei Xuan because the light that shone inside the crystal was far brighter than anyone they had seen before.
"This is... Phoenix Fire! Grade 8 Element!"
"Heh..." Li Mu smiled, amused by this power. He even clasped his hands to the City Lord and said, "Congratulations City Lord. It seems you have a good daughter."
"Ahaha, thank you, Elder Li Mu." The City Lord clasped hands with a smile. He remembered Li Mu had a disciple with the same standard, so he thought Li Mu would accept her.
However, Li Mu just returned to his seat.
"You said you have selected your disciple. Are you going to take her?" Wen Qing frowned.
"No. Elder Wen Qing can receive her as your disciple." Li Mu smiled before closing his eyes.
"Elder Li Mu..." The City Lord called him with a worried expression.
"I’m not going to embarrass you, City Lord. It’s just... she doesn’t pass my secret test." Li Mu shook his head.
"Secret Test?" The City Lord widened his eyes while his daughter tilted her head in confusion. After all, his talent should be enough to be his disciple.
"I do care about talent, but that’s not everything. You should know that I once passed the opportunity to have a Grade 9 Elemental Disciple just to get my own disciple. In the end, she defeated him, right? That’s because I want something more from them..."
"That’s the secret test..."
"Exactly." Li Mu nodded and jumped to the platform before walking to Albert and the others. "And I said disciples... So, Elder Wen Qing can take all three of them because I have chosen them as my disciples."
"!!!"
All eyes were on Albert’s group. However, choosing them was the same as treating Wen Qing’s words as jokes. After all, it completely contradicted Wen Qing’s words earlier.
Wen Qing couldn’t help but shout, "Are you trying to fight me, Li Mu?"
