Chapter 23: Apprenticeship
In the ancient house of Haizhou City, in a luxurious villa, a handsome young man was meditating cross-legged, and suddenly a bell rang, the young man opened his eyes, frowned, looked at the number displayed on his mobile phone, and still answered.
It's just that as the other party speaks, the young man's brows wrinkle tighter, and when the other party hangs up the phone, the indifferent color on the young man's face completely disappears, and it has become miserable white, replaced by endless anger and fear.
This young man is none other than Gu Yuehe, the eldest disciple of Wu Hualong, who was Chinese New Year's Eve years old at the time, and was already a peak martial artist of dark energy, and was unanimously favored by the entire Storm Ape Martial Arts Hall to become the next generation of sect masters.
There are even rumors that as soon as he breaks through to Huajin, Wu Hualong will abdicate and make way for Xian, this is an abnormal scenery on the surface. And relying on his prestige, his family has also been greatly developed, originally the Gu family was just a small merchant family in Haizhou City, but because of the rise of Gu Yuehe, the Gu family has become the top family in Haizhou City in just over ten years.
It's just that although the rumors are so, the high-level officials in the Storm Ape Martial Arts Hall know that this person has really had a hard time in recent years. The reason is very simple, it is because Qian Liu stepped on the peak of dark power a year ago and obtained the third-level protection authority, which caused the high-level of the Violent Ape Martial Arts Pavilion to divide the question of the selection of the sect master into two factions at once.
One faction naturally supports Gu Yuehe, after all, he has deep qualifications, he is also a young and handsome man, and he is also the personal disciple of the current sect master, and it is justified to inherit the position of the sect master.
The other faction supports Qian Liu, there is no other complicated reason, one is that Qian Liu has obtained the third-level protection authority, which can be described as the pride of the sky, you must know that including the previous generation, no one in the Violent Ape Gate can obtain such an honor, and from the historical records, it seems that all the warriors who have reached the third-level protection authority, as long as they do not die, will definitely be able to advance to the next level.
Another reason is that Qian Liu's master is also a highly respected person in the Violent Ape Sect, he is Wu Hualong's senior brother, and he is also a strong person, so this qualification to take over cannot be said to be none.
However, due to Qian Liu's identity before, although there was controversy in the sect, it was generally biased towards Gu Yuehe, and of course, he was also under great pressure.
But now that Wu Hualong has accepted Wu Hao as a closed disciple, this time it is not at all comparable to Qian Liu's threat. Wu Hao's age is not a secret, but anyone with a little power can find out, he has just passed his seventeenth birthday, but at this age, he is already a master at the peak of dark energy.
Compared with him, Gu Yuehe's qualification can already be thrown into the stinky ditch. And even if it is compared to identity, Wu Hao does not have any speed.
It can be said that once Wu Hao wants the position of the master of this sect, it is conceivable that there will be almost no opposition in the entire Storm Ape Sect.
This may be a great opportunity for the entire Storm Ape Gate, but for Gu Yuehe, it is like a bolt from the blue, others don't know, but he knows how he reached the peak realm of dark energy, it is estimated that it is difficult to set foot in this life, originally planned to wait until Wu Hualong died of old age, and then he reluctantly succeeded to the throne, but now it seems that it is very likely that the bamboo basket will draw water.
He hadn't forgotten how his cultivation came about, nor did he forget that his current status was obtained from the position of the future master of the sect, once it was determined that he had lost power, whether it was that force or the force that had traded with him before, he would not give up, I am afraid that what awaits him is even more terrifying than death.
"I am the senior brother of the Tyrannical Ape Gate, and the position of the master of the gate is mine, so no one wants to interfere. ”
A fierce look flashed in Gu Yuehe's eyes, his expression changed, and he changed to a respectful color, and then dialed his mobile phone and began to make calls.
In the hall on the first floor of the headquarters of the Violent Ape Martial Arts Hall, Wu Hao looked at the surrounding facilities with some curiosity, Qian Liu led the way in front, and the apprentices of the surrounding martial arts halls turned their eyes to Wu Hao from time to time, their faces full of curiosity and admiration.
At this time, three days had passed since Wu Hao was ambushed, and he should have been in full swing to prepare for the finals of the high school boxing competition, but all this changed with Qian Liu's visit.
Qian Liu told him the news that the master of the Storm Ape Gate was going to accept Wu Hao as an apprentice, and briefly described to him the status of the Storm Ape Gate in Haizhou City, Wu Hao thought about it for a while and agreed, but when he relayed the news to his parents, he discounted it slightly, only saying that it was a very good martial arts gym and a lot of money.
Wu Hao's parents had also heard of the name of the Violent Ape Martial Arts Hall, so they naturally agreed with a smile.
Today is the day when Wu Hao officially apprenticed, and it was also the day when he set foot in the overlord-level existence of Haizhou City for the first time in this Qian Liukou.
On the second floor, the incense hall that had not been opened for a long time opened, Wu Hualong sat high in a white robe, and on the seats on both sides sat three old men with the same white beard, it was one of his senior brothers, Han Zhen and two junior brothers. In addition, on either side of the incense hall stood 15 men and women, of various ages, the oldest was almost 50 years old, and the youngest was only in his early twenties.
Gu Yuehe, who had a proud face, stood in the first place on his right hand, indicating the position of his head disciple, and next to him was a beautiful woman with a graceful demeanor, who seemed to be married to a woman, with a sparkling diamond ring on her left index finger, this is Wu Hualong's second apprentice, Tong Lin, who is known as a Rakshasa woman in the rivers and lakes, but her identity on the surface is a high school teacher.
Next to Tong Lin is Wu Hualong's third disciple Lin Hu, a man in his twenties with a bookish face, his cultivation is the same as Tong Lin, and he has also stepped into the realm of dark energy, his family is a big family in Haizhou City, with a long history, but he is still a college student.
The first position on the left hand side is vacant, which is prepared for Qian Liu, with Qian Liu's qualification to obtain the third-level protection authority, he has enough qualifications.
The second position on the left hand side is Qian Liu's senior brother, the dark master Ge Tian, who is in his forties, is the spokesperson of the Violent Ape Sect on the bright side, that is, the chief hall owner of the Violent Ape Martial Arts Pavilion, responsible for the financial operation of the entire Violent Ape Sect, and is the eldest disciple of Qian Liu's master.
As for the others, they are all disciples of Wu Hualong's generation in the hall, as for Wu Hualong's higher generation, it is said that there is also an ancestor of the Huajin realm, Shenlong has seen the head but not the end, it is said that no one has seen it for a long time, and it has not appeared at this time.
When Wu Hao stepped into the incense hall with Qian Liu's footsteps, he was immediately greeted by the different eyes of these people.
With the feeling of a master at the peak of dark energy, he can naturally distinguish the meaning, most of them are curiosity and admiration, there are a few jealousy and resentment, some appreciation and gratification, and some scrutiny, but there is a very big murderous aura in it, which seems to be even more powerful than the sniper cannon.
Wu Hao raised the corner of his eyes slightly, swept his eyes along with his breath, and saw the young man standing in the first place on the right hand side of Xiangtang, and couldn't help frowning.
He can be sure that the murderous aura comes from that young man, although the young man will accept it as soon as he releases, and it seems that he is very hidden, but Wu Hao really has the true realm of the peak of dark energy, comparable to the master of the peak of dark energy for many years, and has a terrifying spiritual power of 7 points, how can this be hidden from him?
Wu Hao swept his eyes and quickly retracted his gaze, although he didn't know what grievances there were, but now was not the time to pursue it, and he would follow in the future.
Qian Liu saluted the four elders sitting upright in front of the incense hall, and then retreated to the first position on his left hand and stood still.
"You are Wu Hao, good boy!"
At this time, Wu Hualong spoke.
"Presumably Qian Liu has already told you about the general situation of my Storm Ape Gate, you should have a general understanding. Since you have come here, you are naturally willing to become a member of my Storm Ape Sect, but the old man still has to ask you here, Wu Hao, are you willing to join the Storm Ape Sect and become a disciple of the old man?"
Wu Hao leaned into Qian Liu's hintive eyes on the side, hurriedly stepped forward, and arched his hand: "I am willing, apprentice to meet Master." ”
Saying that, Wu Hao seemed to be a little hesitant, not knowing whether to kneel on the ground like in the movie, or something else.
"Okay, well, look at this kid is a man of temperament. ”
Wu Hualong laughed when he saw this, and then waved his hand to the left and right senior brothers, causing a kind laugh, and continued: "Okay, there is no need to pay attention to some vulgar etiquette, now is no longer the era of the past, even the earth has become a unified federation, we should also keep pace with the times, as long as you respond, then you and I are masters and apprentices." ”
"Come, Wu Hao, for the teacher to introduce you to my Violent Ape Sect people, this is your master Han Zhen, the kung fu is very good, you can ask for a lot of advice, this is ......"
Wu Hualong introduced Wu Hao one by one, Wu Hao stepped forward one by one to salute, everything was very harmonious on the surface, but secretly there was a turbulent tide.
Not to mention others, Qian Liu alone couldn't help but be taken aback at this time, he clearly remembered the rules of the Violent Ape Gate, the first apprentice had to kneel six and bow to the master, three kneels and nine knocks to the master, one kneel and two knocks to the senior brother and sister, so many people were present, it was really a very large number.
According to his senior brother, this etiquette is to teach disciples to have the idea of dignity and humility, not to be arrogant, no matter what kind of person, it is inevitable to be embarrassed when you knock down your head.
But he never thought that Wu Hualong would directly exempt Wu Hao, and he kept pace with the times, why didn't anyone say this when he entered the door?
Qian Liu was just surprised, but Gu Yuehe was naked jealous, Wu Hualong's actions didn't seem to be a big deal, but it really overturned the long-standing tradition of the Violent Ape Sect, in a sense, this was already a recognition of Wu Hao's status.
I'm afraid that even if Wu Hao wants to be the master of this sect now, Wu Hualong and the high-level leaders of the Storm Ape Sect will not object, right? Thinking of this, Gu Yuehe became more and more jealous. He thought of the attitude of that side yesterday, and couldn't help but shiver, since he stepped into the peak of dark energy, he had never seen the other party use such a cold attitude.
It seems that the other party has given up his original plan because of Wu Hao's existence, so is his existence still necessary?
Stirring up a cold war, Gu Yuehe couldn't help but think of the promise of another force, although the other force was far inferior to the previous force, but in the current situation, he had no choice, and now, he couldn't help but be a little tempted.
