It was early in the morning, and the sky had only begun to turn white. The entire county city was bustling with noise and excitement.
On the streets of the city, there were already piles of Martial Cultivator of all kinds and shapes. Among these Martial Cultivator, the majority of them were young Martial Cultivator.
It was only because today was the day Marquis Mansion would begin recruiting new disciples.
Marquis Mansion took in disciples three times a year, with only ten disciples being recruited each time. At the same time, nine out of the original dozens of disciples in Marquis Mansion would also be eliminated.
Although the chances were slim, many Martial Cultivator would still enjoy the show and look for that sliver of chance. As long as they were selected by Marquis Mansion, they would be able to obtain a large amount of resources and the guidance of a top-notch expert.
Those who normally ended their cultivation in the Marquis Mansion, unless they died early, would at least be able to become a Profound Level Ranker.
At the Gu Family Clan Plaza, the selection to enter the Marquis Mansion Assessment had already started.
In the center of the Gu Family, on the stage directly in front of the headless sword statue, two young men were fighting.
"Good job, Big Brother Gu Han!"
"Big Brother Gu Han is indeed a genius. Right now, you should already be talking about Spirit Level. Although you are only a side branch disciple, you are still stronger than all of the direct descendent disciples!"
Waves of cheers sounded out from below the arena.
At the center of the plaza, Gu Han, who had a square face and thick eyebrows, had a cold and stern expression. He was currently fighting with an older youth.
Although Gu Han was a few years younger, his strength was extraordinary and he had mastered a fifth level Human Rank martial art. The other man also had the strength of a six star Spirit Level martial art but had not comprehended any martial arts and was almost crushed.
Boom! *
The Gu Family youth was forced to a corner of the stage, and after a tough battle with Gu Han, he was finally knocked off the stage.
"Young Master Gu Han is invincible!"
"Young Master Gu Han is undoubtedly the strongest of the Gu Family younger generation now, even Gu Xuan cannot compare to him!"
"Hehe, that trash, Gu Xuan, has some talent to be able to actually reject the invitation of City Lord Chu. It's probably impossible to even take half a step in now, how can he compare to Young Master Gu Han."
The group of Gu Family youths below began to flatter him again. After today, Gu Han would become a member of the Marquis Mansion, and Gu Xuan, who had previously surpassed him, would no longer have the chance.
"Brother Han, you are a genius, but I am no match for you. Thank you for your advice. When I master my martial arts in the future, I will definitely compete with you."
The older young man clasped his hands and said respectfully.
"You're too weak, you're not fit to compete with me, I'm already invincible in Gu Family, even Gu Xuan would be trampled under my feet."
Gu Han harrumphed and said arrogantly.
The young man's expression stiffened as he clenched his fists and walked out with a dark expression.
Gu Han proudly raised his head towards the sky.
In the end, Gu Family was only a small place. The numerous geniuses within the Gu Family, including Gu Xuan, could only be a stepping stone for him.
His targets were the geniuses within the Marquis Mansion.
"The Qin Family Genius, Young Master Qin Song, has arrived!"
It was at this time that shouts came from outside the Gu Family entrance.
"Hmm? Qin Song? "
To him, who was paying attention to Marquis Mansion, Qin Song was extremely familiar. To him, the Human Fire that had awakened Human Rank and the others, having broken through to the Eight Star Spirit Level at the age of sixteen, had already been fixed in his Marquis Mansion and was also participating in the examination at the same time.
"Among the younger generation, only I have reached the Spirit Level. This Qin Song must be here to find me!" Gu Han was even more excited, it was such a great honor to ask Qin Song to take care of him.
Even though he was arrogant, he still knew what he was worth and that he could rule over his entire Gu Family. Facing a genius at his peak, Qin Song, he simply didn't dare to underestimate him in the slightest.
No matter what the reason was, it was enough for him to give up all his dignity to curry favor with, as opposed to a young master from the direct line of Qin Family or a young Top Genius.
"Go!" "Follow me!"
Gu Han quickly tidied up his attire and led a group of young disciples towards the main door.
At the door, a young man stood with his sword on his back. He wore a long, dark red robe and had a long and narrow face.
"I am Gu Han. I wonder what business brother Qin Song has with me?"
Gu Han suppressed the excitement in his heart, and cupped his hands towards Qin Song and said without showing any dissatisfaction because of Qin Song's cold attitude.
"Gu Han?"
Qin Song shot a glance at Gu Han, but didn't have the slightest expression on his cold and indifferent face, and indifferently said: "I'm looking for your family's number one genius."
Gu Han raised his head and said, "I am the clan's number one genius!"
"You?" Qin Song sized Gu Han up and sneered, "With your strength, you're still far from qualified."
Gu Han's face darkened, he was stifling a surge of anger within his heart. He wasn't qualified, who could be qualified?
Qin Song no longer bothered with Gu Han. His gaze swept across the plaza but he could not find Gu Xuan's figure. Frowning, he shouted, "Gu Xuan, do you dare to come out!?"
This voice already used the Strength of Fire, it was extremely thick, and wave after wave spread outwards, covering the entire Gu Family.
"Gu Xuan! It's Gu Xuan again! "
Gu Han bit his lips, and before, Gu Xuan defeated Gu Feng and stole his limelight. Now that he was about to join Marquis Mansion, and Gu Xuan was a wastrel who could only stop at Spirit Level for his entire life, what right did he have to compete with him?
A genius, had the arrogance of a genius. Since Gu Xuan was within the Gu Family, if she heard his voice, he would definitely come out.
Gu Han and the others also had different expressions as they waited. Not long after, a figure appeared in the distance.
Gu Xuan's gaze pierced straight into Qin Song. Although the two of them did not meet, they could still feel the fighting intent from this person.
Qin Song's cold and detached gaze also pierced over, and instantly did not contain any signs of contempt.
But at this time, Gu Han, the self-proclaimed number one genius in Gu Family, seemed to have been ignored.
Gritting his teeth, Gu Han took a step forward and stood in front of Gu Xuan, then shouted coldly, "Even for a trash like you, you want to become the number one genius of the family. So what if the Source Flame you've awakened is strong?
Gu Xuan shot a glance at the man, a look of ridicule appearing in his eyes, but he was too lazy to waste his breath on Gu Han.
"Three stars Spirit Level?"
However, Qin Song scoffed, and looked at Gu Han as though he was looking at a fool, "You actually have the face to say that he's already a six star Martial Cultivator of the Spirit Level, if we really fight, you won't even be able to take one of his moves!"
Six stars!
Gu Han's face suddenly stiffened. A six star Spirit Level with the ability to challenge those above his cultivation level?
The group of Gu Family youths also sucked in a breath of cold air. In just a few short days, Gu Xuan had actually broken through to the sixth star realm.
Trash!
Gu Han felt that he had been slapped hard by this word. Compared to Gu Xuan, he was a complete trash.
