More than ten gazes fell on Gu Xuan at seemingly the same time, carrying surprise, doubt, and even a little admiration.
The person Lin Hao had personally gone up against, was actually not Chu Yan?
What they found even more difficult to believe was that Lin Hao had just said that the three elders were all trying to deal with Gu Xuan at the same time.
To an ordinary Appraisers, provoking one of the three Great Leaders was already a matter of despair, but Gu Xuan seemed to have provoked all three of them.
"Gu Xuan, how did you provoke Senior Brother Lin Hao?"
Han Zhong also felt Lin Hao's aura and retreated from his cultivation. After hearing that Lin Hao's goal was Gu Xuan, his face also changed crazily.
Even though he could be considered to be one of the top among these new Appraisers s, he was still nothing compared to the three giants amongst the older students, those who were not of the same level.
Gu Xuan looked at Han Zhong and sneered: "Speaking of which, this is my first time seeing him, do you believe me?"
"Ai!"
Han Zhong was extremely anxious. Even now, he did not expect that Gu Xuan would still be in the mood to joke around. It was obvious that he did not understand the severity of the matter.
With their strength, even if they were eliminated, they could still be accepted as true disciples by a teacher. However, they could only get to enter the Mountain And River Diagram once.
Even though Yingtian Institution's resources were not bad, they were still inferior to the Mountain And River Diagram's. If they were kicked out of the Mountain And River Diagram, their losses would be no small matter.
Quickly walking to Gu Xuan's side, Han Zhong gave a slight bow to Lin Hao: "This one is Han Zhong, I wonder how Junior Brother Gu Xuan managed to provoke Senior Brother, could you give me some face?"
"Give you face?" Lin Hao swept his eyes across Han Zhong, and his green face revealed a cold smile: "You're just a mere Six Stars Profound Level, and you want to seek me out to demand face. If Chu Yan was here, I might be able to consider it.
He indeed had the ability to challenge someone above his cultivation level, and ordinary Seven Stars Profound Level Martial Cultivator were not his match, but Lin Hao had already stepped into the Eight Stars Profound Level, and he was an extremely strong Ranker out of the Eight Stars Profound Level, so only Sun Leng was able to suppress him.
"Senior Brother Han Zhong, what's going on?"
Chen Mang, who was guarding outside the door, also noticed the situation inside the city and walked in. After seeing Lin Hao, he was slightly stunned, but still bowed and greeted: "Senior Brother Lin Hao."
"Yes." Lin Hao nodded his head, his expression gloomy. He did not expect that a mere Gu Xuan, would actually have a relationship with one of the top three freshmen, and he himself was not weak either.
Amongst the new students, the only one who could attract his attention was Chu Yan and the others. As for Han Zhong and the others, he was confident that he could take care of them in fifteen minutes.
Chen Mang walked to the side of Gu Xuan and Han Zhong, and looked at them. "Senior Brother, look at this …"
Lin Hao waved his hand and coldly snorted: "Gu Xuan, I do have to move. As for the two of you, I can give you two a chance.
Han Zhong shook his head: "Junior Brother Gu Xuan has helped me out greatly. I, Han Zhong, am not an ungrateful person."
"Sure." Lin Hao nodded, and his gaze landed on Chen Mang. "Chen Mang, I hope you can make a good choice."
"What crappy Senior Brother, you must be targeting our freshmen! You should get someone else to guard the door, I'm done with it!" Chen Mang's face was also filled with anger, he smashed his mask on the ground.
Gu Xuan was a little surprised, he did not expect Chen Mang to be so decisive. It was alright for Han Zhong to have a good relationship with him, but Chen Mang had never been on the right path from the beginning, but now, he was falling out with Lin Hao for him.
Chen Mang's personality was straightforward, absolutely straightforward, and would tell anyone who was displeased, but if it was someone he recognized, then it would also be someone with absolute sincerity. For Gu Xuan to be able to kill a peak level two Flame Beast, it was enough to earn Chen Mang's respect.
"Very good!" Lin Hao's face darkened.
Amongst the freshmen, his name alone was enough to make many's expression change. But now, among these two freshmen, not one of them did not give him face, and one of them could even be considered his follower.
"Since you've chosen to go against me, then the test will come to an end. To go against a strong person, you have to pay a corresponding price!" Lin Hao slowly said.
Sensing the thick arrogance on Lin Hao's body, Gu Xuan laughed sarcastically: "I really don't know how thick-skinned you are. You spout so much nonsense just to show that you're very strong?"
Lin Hao's face completely turned cold, a trace of killing intent appeared in his sunken eyes: "Are you courting death?"
Gu Xuan shook his head, his face full of ridicule: "The Eight Stars Profound Level, they are actually called powerhouses!
"Hiss!"
In the crowd, a collective gasp sounded out, and even Han Zhong and Chen Mang were shocked.
Tang Tang was one of the three big shots of the older generation, an existence that no one dared to offend.
Is this Gu Xuan crazy?
Gu Xuan still had a cold smile on his face, and did not have the slightest bit of emotion when provoking Lin Hao. Eight Stars Profound Level, in the eyes of these Appraisers, might be a god-like existence, but in his eyes, what kind of thing was it?
If he did not provoke him, that would mean he would have to rely on his normal strength to train himself, but since he dared to provoke him, then he would have no qualms about it. At worst, he could just reveal his identity and directly wake Yun Xi up.
"Good, very good!"
Lin Hao's expression was terrifyingly dark, and veins were bulging on his face as he said, "I now declare that not only has the three of you completed your examination in the Mountain And River Diagram s, it will also be extremely difficult for you all to take even a single step within the academy. My orders, no one can go against!"
But since Gu Xuan had already angered Lin Hao, then it was already impossible for him to develop in the outer courtyard anymore. He could not cultivate in peace, and before long, he would be eliminated by the academy, and his future would be ruined.
"Is there really no one who can disobey your order?"
Right at this moment, a faint voice sounded out. This voice was somewhat clear, yet it was ice-cold and emotionless, and it could repel people from thousands of miles away.
The moment the voice appeared, it was as if there was an invisible magic that attracted everyone's attention.
On top of the city wall, a girl dressed in black was standing with her sword on her back. A breeze was blowing, and her long hair was dancing in the wind.
Ice Mountain Beauty.
At this moment, the same words had appeared in everyone's minds at the same time.
