Chapter 289: The Arrogance of a Prodigy Should Be Unrestrained!



Although Yan Jin had his own methods for controlling flames, Gu Fei now had the advantage of a unique cultivation technique and his fire spirit. This gave him a significant edge over Yan Jin.

(TL/n: Don't forget the system that made your cultivation technique unique.)

Moreover, his potential for growth far surpassed those of the older generation!

At this moment, Gu Yuan's eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked around at the scene of devastation, a smile forming on his face.

For miles around, the land was in ruins.

Restoring life to this area would take a long time, but he didn't care. In fact, the more damage there was, the happier he was. After all, the greater the destruction, the stronger Gu Fei's combat strength.

"Hahaha!"

"One of these days, I'll invite Yan Jin and Lei Ying over... Let them witness how exceptional the prodigies of my clan truly are!"

Gu Yuan laughed heartily and glanced at Gu Fei, his tone filled with anticipation.

It was no surprise- he had placed all his hopes for the clan's revival on him.

The pride and confidence were evident, as though he could already see the bright future of the Gu Clan's resurgence.

And with a genius like Gu Fei, how could they not show off a little?

Gu Yuan could hardly wait.

"That old man Lei Ying will probably shamelessly challenge you to a duel!"

He continued, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

Heh.

Gu Fei's lips curved into a slight smile.

Lei Ying, huh.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The clan leader really has high expectations of me.

Lei Ying had been stuck at eight-star Dou Saint for years, and in that realm, few dared claim they could surpass him.

When teamed up with Yan Jin, they could even contend with the strength of a nine-star Dou Saint like Nihility Devouring Flame.

"The clan leader's words aren't without merit. Lei Ying has always been battle-hungry and quick-tempered. Although you're of the younger generation, your current strength is enough to rival the old guard. Lei Ying will almost certainly want to spar with you."

Gu Lie nodded in agreement as he spoke, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

Clearly, in his mind, his grandson was no longer someone in need of protection, but rather a strong warrior capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with him, and the heads of the Yan and Lei Clans.

"Clan leader, grandfather, aren't you afraid you'll make me too arrogant with all this praise?" Gu Fei joked, clasping his hands together, a lighthearted tone in his voice.

"A prodigy, a true genius... If you don't show some arrogance and pride, what's the point?"

Gu Yuan burst into laughter, waving his hand dismissively.

His gaze was filled with satisfaction.

Gu Yuan's decision was undoubtedly a huge help to him.

Without leveraging the clan's resources, collecting heavenly flames on one's own would be far from easy.

While the Gu Clan bustled with activity, the Hun Clan presented an entirely different scene...

In the dark depths of the Hun Realm, there stood a towering palace.

The palace was pitch black, as though it could swallow all light.

Inside the grand hall of the palace, a tall figure stood in the center.

This figure was fully encased in black armor, making it impossible to see their face.

Yet the oppressive aura that filled the hall was palpable.

"Damn that Gu Clan brat! To break through to seven-star Dou Saint in such a short time!"

The figure's low voice was filled with rage and resentment.

As soon as the words were spoken, the temperature in the hall plummeted, and a chilling aura

spread, as though it could freeze all life.

At that moment, another figure hurried into the hall.

It was none other than Hun Huzi, who had made a scene at the Medicine Ceremony.

"Elder Nihility, this is all my fault. If I hadn't paved the way for Gu Fei, he would never have

been able to refine the Ninth-Tier Mysterious Pill."

Hun Huzi knelt respectfully before the black-robed figure in the center of the hall, his face

full of regret.

That's right!

This time, he had utterly disgraced his clan. The precious pill he'd worked so hard to refine

had been handed to someone else.

"Hmph!"

"Stop making excuses. You're just too weak!"

"In this world, strength is all that matters!"

"And instead of reflecting on your weakness, you're trying to justify it?"

The black-robed figure scoffed, disdain evident in their voice.

Upon hearing this, Hun Huzi trembled, his face turning even paler.

"Elder Nihility is right..."

He lowered his head, not daring to meet the figure's gaze, his tone filled with fear.
