Chapter 24: The Light of the Blazing Sun
"Old Xu, do you know what kind of vision this is?"
Wang Wu, the attendant officer in charge of presiding over the assessment, cautiously asked his companion.
The companion shook his head and replied, "I don't know either. Never seen before. β
"Or ...... Let's flip through the books? β
"A dignified official, wouldn't it be embarrassing to look through the information in front of the public?"
"That'...... Why don't we try to contact Lord Chu? β
"I think...... Let's flip through the books! β
As the two attendants spoke, they pulled out a thick book from their luggage and began to flip through it quickly.
At this time, they had to rejoice that the eyes of everyone present were attracted by Gu Xu and the Tianyan Stone beside him, and no one paid attention to their small movements at all.
A few minutes later, the attendant known as "Lao Xu" pointed to a passage in the book and said, "Found it!" β
I saw the description in the book: "The golden crow rises to dawn, and the jade sill ripples in the morning light, which is the vision of the three products, 'the light of the blazing sun'." β
"Sanpin...... It turned out to be three products! Another retinue officer was amazed, "I really didn't expect that this sick boy would be a cultivation wizard like Lord Chu!"
"It's no wonder that the head of the department attaches so much importance to this assessment...... The Master of the Division's Heavenly Deduction Technique is unparalleled in the world, and he may have expected all of this a long time ago. β
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and announced in a hoarse voice to everyone present:
"Three-product vision, 'Blazing Sun'."
There was an uproar.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Gu Xu slowly withdrew his right hand.
At this time, the surface of Tianyan stone was very hot.
The blazing light suddenly disappeared, and everything in the world faded into bright colors.
After the rain, the world is back to a black and white ink painting.
Gloomy, monotonous, and downcast.
Hearing this result, Gu Xu's face did not have the joy or excitement that everyone imagined, but was extremely calm.
For him, who has the talent of [Thin Life Genius], this is really expected.
Even, there is some small loss in his heart-
The talent I have exchanged for most of my life, and that's it?
Just like Chu Fengge's narcissist?
That Chu Fengge is a person from Ben San, and he is still only a fourth realm cultivator.
If my talent is just the same as his, even if I try my best to cultivate, can I really break through to the seventh realm before the age of thirty?
He sighed softly, no longer thinking about the uncertain future.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Brother Gu is really an extraordinary person, and when he encounters such a big thing, he can be pampered and not shocked," After the qualification assessment, Wang Yang immediately stepped forward and said to Gu Xu, "Sanpin qualification...... That's something I can't even dream of!
"Brother Gu, when you become a big man like Lord Chu in the future, don't forget our brothers! If you don't dislike it, I can go to your mansion and guard the gate for you! β
Shi Xiaohan also said with a smile: "Gu Xu, with your talent, you will definitely become the focus of the head of the department." In the future, the official title started from the fifth grade. Maybe in a few years, we'll all have to call you Lord Qianhu. β
Gu Xu smiled and responded modestly: "I can't say what will happen in the future." β
Chen Jisheng watched the young people silently from the sidelines, not participating in their conversation.
As Gu Xu's nameless teacher, he knew that this kid had a very terrifying understanding and qualificationsβhe could comprehend the difficult and difficult knowledge of the runes in just three months, and he could memorize the knowledge of the entire library and use it freely, and his cultivation speed was also astonishingly fast.
Those proud sons of heaven who are proud of big families and big sects are probably nothing more than that.
However, Chen Jisheng also knows very well that having the enviable three-grade qualification only means that the potential is amazing, and it does not mean that he will be able to grow into a top master.
When a practitioner absorbs the evil qi into his body, he is born to die, which is difficult and dangerous.
In the hundreds of years of history of Daqi, there have been countless geniuses, but many of them are short-lived, and then they either die halfway or disappear from everyone.
In the end, there are very few who can climb to the top and become a generation of giants.
Like the "small goal" that Gu Xu set for himself - to break through the seventh realm before the age of thirty, it is even more fantastical.
So, after seeing this dazzling "blazing light", Chen Jisheng felt more and more sorry for Gu Xu.
He only felt that God had played a huge joke with Gu Xu - first opened a window for him, and then blocked his life.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After the qualification assessment, the promotion assessment comes to an end temporarily.
The last part, and the most challenging practical assessment, will be held the next day.
"You can go back and rest," Chu Fengge's two entourage, Xu San and Wang Wu, said to Gu Xu and Ma Qin, "Come here at the same time tomorrow morning." We will arrange a practical assessment for you. β
Ma Qin raised his hand weakly: "Can I choose to quit early?" β
"Why?" Xu San asked.
"I don't think I'm his match." He pointed to Gu Xu beside him.
Ma Qin has already deeply felt that the significance of his coming to participate in this assessment is just to be Gu Xu's background board - to set off the other party's excellence with his own ordinariness.
He didn't want to be angry with this bird anymore.
"No," Xu San shook his head, "We Great Qi monks can't easily admit defeat. β
Ma Qin sighed, and could only nod his head in agreement.
At this moment, he has long lost the idea of the official position he dreamed of, and he only wants to do his best in tomorrow's assessment without regrets.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Subsequently, Xu San and Wang Wu lifted the heavy "Tianyan Stone" and moved it to the official post where Chu Fengge temporarily stayed.
"Lao Xu, do you feel that this stone seems a little hot to the touch?" Wang Wu suddenly frowned and said with some confusion.
"That's true," Xu San nodded in agreement, "I remember it used to be cold all along. Now it feels like it has been roasted in a furnace. β
"It'...... It won't go wrong! Wang Wu asked a little nervously.
"There will definitely be no problem," Xu San said with great conviction, "The Tianyan Stone is a magic weapon that the high-level of the Exorcism Division spent countless heavenly and earth treasures to refine back then, and it is known as indestructible. It has been used for nearly 100 years, and it has never been abnormal. β
"Since you say so, then I'm relieved." Wang Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
A quarter of an hour later, Xu San and Wang Wu finally panted and moved the "Tianyan Stone" to the official post.
However, just when they put the "Tianyan Stone" on the ground, an accident happened-
This magic weapon, which has been inherited for a hundred years and is known as indestructible, suddenly a crack appeared.
Immediately afterwards, with a muffled sound of "bang", the Tianyan Stone suddenly exploded, turning into countless fragments and scattering all over the ground.
Wang Wu immediately raised his hands: "I didn't do it!" β
Xu San also looked innocent: "I didn't do it!" β
"If you didn't do it, who did it?" Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this voice, the two of them turned around and immediately bowed: "I've seen Lord Chu!" β
I saw the exorcist Si Langzhong, the fourth realm monk Chu Fengge standing outside the door with a long sword.
He had a blue nose and swollen face, unkempt hair, and blood stains on his body, and he looked embarrassed, and he had long since lost his handsome and uninhibited appearance.
"My lord, we didn't see anything."
Seeing this scene, the two attendants immediately turned their heads back in fright.
At the same time, they thought in horror: We have damaged the Tianyan Stone, and we have also seen Lord Chu being beaten so miserably...... Will Lord Chu cut off our heads in a fit of rage?
