The Mountain And River List students scattered as they headed towards their own residences, all of them sighing with emotion.
First, it was Gu Xuan's astonishing feat, which created the highest record in the ruin. Nineteen hundred thousand Treasure Point, and then Zhao Mayi's confrontation with Luo Yi. What was most worthy of their admiration was still Gu Xuan's arrogance.
Gu Xuan actually put down the words for Luo Yi to clean his mouth, it was truly surprising, although the price for doing so was not small, and if in a month, Gu Xuan was not able to win against Luo Yi, this humiliation, would be repaid by Luo Yi.
And the proof Luo Yi's strength obtained today, far surpassed his Peak Profound Level, and was extremely close to it! No one would believe that a freshman had the ability to defeat Luo Yi.
"Junior Brother Gu."
As Gu Xuan was walking, Zhao Mayi caught up with him. With a smile on his face, he said, "Junior Brother Gu doesn't mind if I go with you."
Gu Xuan also laughed: "To be able to get close with the number one Mountain And River List, Senior Brother Zhao, I'm afraid no one will reject you."
Zhao Mayi glanced at Gu Xuan, and then suddenly exhaled: "That is only an ordinary person, I can feel that even though Junior Brother Gu has said it like that, he actually doesn't care about me, and even the people on the Mountain And River List s can't get your attention."
Gu Xuan's eyes slightly moved, and looked at Zhao Mayi in a rather peculiar manner: "Senior Brother Zhao, you're joking."
"Even though you said that, it's just that you didn't want to embarrass me and cover it up. In reality, the so called Mountain And River List, the number one Senior Brother Zhao, simply isn't worthy of your notice. I've been observing you since you entered the academy, you're definitely not an ordinary genius."
"Maybe." Gu Xuan's expression froze, and then he immediately shook his head, as though he was laughing at himself.
"However …" Zhao Mayi's brows slightly knitted, "Although the Junior Brother Gu is not ordinary, his future achievements may cause us to lose our abilities, but you still do not have the strength to back it up, so there is still a need for you to. For example, when Luo Yi wanted to make a move on you, you could have argued with him, or reported it to the academy, and directly clashing with him would have caused you a lot of trouble."
"With Brother Zhao's help, he still dares to touch me?" Gu Xuan's face revealed a playful look.
"Junior Brother Gu, you think too highly of me." Zhao Mayi shook his head, "I am only slightly stronger than him in terms of strength. Him going against you was already in violation of the academy's rules, and with me interfering, he would stop, but Heavenly Court Large Competition is an organization of the academy, so I can't interfere with it. I can completely take this opportunity to deal with you."
"I know." Gu Xuan nodded.
"Therefore, Junior Brother Gu, you can only hold it in for now. I'm first in the Mountain And River List s, at that time I'll be able to pick my opponent first, and I'll choose you directly. Although there's no fate between you and the final reward, it's to avoid being humiliated by Luo Yi." Zhao Mayi said.
Gu Xuan sized up Zhao Mayi, and obviously did not expect that the latter would only meet him for the first time, and even helped him twice. He asked with some doubt: "Since Senior Brother Zhao had paid attention to me from the beginning, and also felt that I had outstanding talent, then could it be that you have no enmity towards me? Logically speaking, all the students on the Mountain And River List should be competitors. "
"That's not bad." Zhao Mayi shook his head and laughed, "However, in this world, there are simply too many geniuses. If I can be ranked first in the Mountain And River List s, it might not even be first in Heavenly Academy. I feel that you have the potential to become a Peerless Expert, so if I help you, you will definitely not be ungrateful, right? "
Gu Xuan raised his brows. Before this, he had already felt that this linen robed youth was not ordinary, but now, it seemed that the latter's performance had exceeded his own estimation.
Not to mention being able to see that he was not an ordinary person, just his attitude made him a true powerhouse.
That's why I'm preparing to help you. I'm choosing you as my opponent and helping you avoid Luo Yi, but after you surpass me, you'll always feel grateful towards me, and then you'll become a great help to me. Of course, I think that by this time, we'll already be friends. Zhao Mayi raised his eyebrows and smiled.
He thought that those who felt that Gu Xuan would eventually run out of potential would actually just lose their minds due to jealousy, and the situation with Gu Xuan was so similar to back then. It was just that Zhou Juechu liked to endure, and with Gu Xuan acting so arrogantly, he was able to determine that Gu Xuan's achievements were limited?
This was truly laughable.
In the future, even if Gu Xuan could not reach Zhou Juechu's level, with Zhou Juechu's Inherent Skill, becoming friends with such a person would still be beneficial to his future path.
"I never thought that the number one Mountain And River List would actually be this kind of person." Gu Xuan also helplessly shook his head, and could not help but laugh, "However, if I do not forget my kindness, I will not let you pick me as your opponent."
"What does that mean?" Zhao Mayi was startled.
"Because Heavenly Court Large Competition is number one, you can make one request from the academy, I must fight for it. If you choose me, the two of us are destined to only have one left." Gu Xuan slowly said.
Zhao Mayi opened his mouth, obviously he did not expect Gu Xuan to say something like that, and then laughed: "Junior Brother Gu wants to be number one in Heavenly Academy, I think it won't be long before next year is enough, as for wanting to be number one this year, you underestimate me too much."
Gu Xuan did not say much, he only said: "Senior brother Zhao, would you be willing to spar with me?"
"Now?" Zhao Mayi was slightly surprised.
"Now." Gu Xuan nodded his head. What he had said earlier, Zhao Mayi had probably just treated it as a joke, but he was not joking. In the annual Heavenly Academy Assessment, the one who had obtained first place could make a request to the academy.
If you don't agree, you can change the requirements. This is actually a very attractive reward.
Under normal circumstances, as long as one's conditions were not too excessive, the academy would not choose to refuse, lest they lose face.
Since Gu Xuan had obtained first place, then he could absolutely propose to give himself a chance to tame Evil Spirit True Fire! This condition had been proposed before, and had been accepted!
Although that disciple ended up failing, it also proved that it was possible to raise this condition!
Therefore, he had to fight for the first place. If Zhao Mayi were to choose him, he could only win against Zhao Mayi, and at that time, Zhao Mayi, who was first in the Mountain And River List s, would be eliminated in the first round.
Although Gu Xuan rarely explained the few things he did, he still scored points for it. Zhao Mayi had wanted to help him twice, and being so frank had obtained his approval. Since that was the case, then it was necessary to explain.
Zhao Mayi thought for a moment, then nodded his head: "That's good."
Zhao Mayi also noticed Gu Xuan's seriousness, and felt very helpless. He had heard people say that Gu Xuan was arrogant before, but he did not believe it, and believed that those people just did not understand Gu Xuan's strength.
But now it seemed that Gu Xuan was indeed a little too arrogant. After all, he was first in the Mountain And River List and he had stabilized his position for almost a year, yet Gu Xuan actually wanted to challenge him.
Zhao Mayi pointed to a valley at the side, where Gu Xuan also nodded his head, the reason why the few people in front of the Mountain And River List did not fight for a long time, was to prevent his own martial arts from being exposed.
After the two of them had arrived at the valley, Zhao Mayi's expression had also become grave. Although he did not think that Gu Xuan was that powerful, he had never underestimated anyone on the Mountain And River List.
"Junior Brother Gu, let's attack together!"
Gu Xuan nodded, "Alright!"
Boom!
At almost the same time, the two of them activated their Strength of Fire, and two imposing Qi soared to the sky!
And at this time, Zhao Mayi just realised that the auras of the two were actually, nearly the same.
Generally speaking, aura could be said to be on par with strength. With this aura, Gu Xuan would probably not be much weaker than him.
Zhao Mayi took out a long sword from his back, and with the Strength of Fire, the Sword Blade started to shine with a layer of light, looking extremely threatening.
Gu Xuan also reached out a palm as thirty Starpicker Arcana sparkled on his hand.
BOOM! BOOM! "Boom!
Both of them jumped up at the same time, one palm and one sword, colliding in the air more than ten times.
At the beginning, the two were only probing, but the further it went, the stronger the strength displayed was. Only when the two of them released their strongest strengths did Zhao Mayi's expression change a little.
He originally thought that it would be enough if Gu Xuan could receive fifty percent of his strength, but now that he had unleashed his strength to one hundred percent, Gu Xuan was still not at a disadvantage.
Gu Xuan's strength was actually not inferior to his?
"Junior Brother Gu, looks like I underestimated you before, I originally thought that only Luo Yi could force me to use my strongest martial arts, for the sake of Heavenly Court Large Competition. I never expected to use it now, be careful!"
Zhao Mayi flew back, the Strength of Fire on his sword suddenly condensed to the extreme, forming a sharp white light, cold air pierced through!
"Cold Light Slash!"
With a low shout, Zhao Mayi shook his longsword, and that cold white light expanded to a length of several meters, heavily chopping down towards Gu Xuan!
This slash tore through the air, as if it was splitting heaven and earth, splitting apart Yin and Yang.
Gu Xuan's gaze also became serious, the light in his hand became bright, and he struck his palm towards the sword ray!
Boom!
The two tyrannical forces collided and exploded with a loud bang. The energy in the surroundings twisted crazily, causing the air in front of them to become a little blurry.
"Cough, cough!"
Zhao Mayi coughed twice, his face was pale white, he was forced to take a few steps back from the Force, he could not help but look forward.
The Gu Xuan in front of him still stood at his original position, the starlight in his hands was not damaged in the slightest.
Zhao Mayi was completely stunned, he unleashed his strongest martial art, and actually lost?
