Zhou Juechu's pavilion.
The Azure Dragon Emissary slowly walked to the cultivation room and stopped, standing there with his hands hanging down.
Zhou Juechu exited his cultivation room, looked at the green dragon envoy and sneered: "It actually ended so quickly. You're not going to tell me that Gu Xuan failed right after entering? That's a little ridiculous. "
Ever since the Heavenly Court Large Competition, Zhou Juechu's enmity towards Gu Xuan had disappeared. But for some reason, he still felt that Gu Xuan was a little bit of a threat towards him, so he arranged for the Azure Dragon Envoys to go to the Tongtian Tower to check out the situation.
Even though he had guessed that Gu Xuan was going to fail, the Azure Dragon Emissary's return so quickly had exceeded his expectations.
The Azure Dragon Emissary closed his mouth and his eyes flashed.
"When you went there, Gu Xuan probably hadn't started the examination yet. He persisted for a long time?" Zhou Juechu asked with a smile.
"Not even a moment." The Azure Dragon's messenger lowered his head and responded with a weak voice.
"What a loser. In such a short period of time, he was able to display so much of his martial arts comprehension, yet he was directly judged as a failure." The ridicule on Zhou Juechu's face grew even stronger.
"That's right. If it was not for this reason, the academy would not have rejected his ridiculous condition. It is likely that they want to let many people have a try during this examination." Zhou Juechu laughed and nodded, then said to the green dragon envoy: "It's been hard on you this time, go back and train well."
The Azure Dragon's messenger still stood there, but his body slightly trembled.
Zhou Juechu suddenly raised his head, looked at the Azure Dragon Messenger's face and suddenly asked, "Did Gu Xuan succeed or fail?"
The Azure Dragon Emissary swallowed his saliva and finally said helplessly, "He succeeded. In less than fifteen minutes, he successfully passed the first floor."
"What!" Zhou Juechu suddenly stood up, and a burst of berserk Qi exploded out.
In less than fifteen minutes, Gu Xuan actually passed?
Within the Tongtian Tower, Gu Xuan walked up to the second floor with a playful smile.
"This is also interesting. Second brother integrated the martial arts that I explained to him back then into this exam. I never would have thought that there would be a chance to test me with the content that I taught myself. This is truly …"
These understandings of the martial way naturally did not appear out of thin air. They all came from Mo Jingyun's understandings of the martial way, which was also what he understood of the martial way.
Furthermore, Gu Xuan's understanding was a hundred times stronger than the one in the assessment.
When Gu Xuan reached the second floor, the illusory old man appeared on the second floor as well. The old man waved his hand and over ten black puppets appeared in front of Gu Xuan.
"The second level of the examination is a test of martial arts techniques. These puppets will increase with the increase of your physical strength. The most you can do is to defeat them in a single day, and you will be able to enter the third level."
As the illusionary old man finished his words, his figure disappeared and the puppets began to move.
"A puppet that purely tests the moves of a martial art?" Gu Xuan's face revealed a happy expression. He had consecutively broken through several realms, but due to the increase in Divine Weapon Formula, the power of the Star Picking Hand could naturally evolve. However, because Gu Xuan had spent all his time cultivating, the increase in the Star Picking Hand was also temporarily delayed.
After all, wanting to improve the Star Picking Hand's martial arts was not a simple matter. At the very least, one would need to constantly spar with opponents at the same level, which Gu Xuan obviously did not have.
However, if he were to fight with this kind of puppet, it would be extremely suitable.
"In one day, I will strive to cultivate the Star Picking Hand to the complete state of a hundred Arcana!" Gu Xuan's gaze became serious.
Outside the Tongtian Tower, it was already a sea of people. In a short period of time, there were already two thousand people gathered, and the entire Yingtian Institution had thirty to forty thousand students. But most of them were cultivating, so gathering two thousand people at the same time was already quite a terrifying thing.
"Senior brother Zhou Juechu is here!"
"Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise. Four followers. They are definitely Senior Brother Zhou Juechu!"
The originally crowded crowd parted to form a path, allowing Zhou Juechu and the other three to pass through.
Although passing the first floor's examination did not mean that Gu Xuan was comparable to him, Gu Xuan had still accomplished something that he was unable to accomplish. Furthermore, it had only been a quarter of an hour, and he had no choice but to pay attention to it.
"Even Senior Brother Zhou Juechu has arrived. Clearly, the matter regarding Senior Brother Gu Xuan was too shocking. I think that even Senior Brother Zhou felt threatened."
"It is indeed a threat. Senior Brother Zhou Juechu is the pride of the heavens, and since you were able to pass the first level, you are also one of the top geniuses. But at the moment, it seems like Senior Brother Zhou Juechu is still a little stronger."
"That's right, let's see if Senior Brother Gu Xuan can pass through the first level."
Amidst the noise of the discussion, Su Tianxin immediately turned around and left. Ever since Gu Xuan had passed the first floor, it meant that he was no longer in the same league as Gu Xuan. If he stayed behind, he would only be asking to be humiliated.
Zhou Juechu, on the other hand, had a sullen face as he observed the situation of the Tongtian Tower. According to the talent that he had displayed so far, he could not compare to the geniuses in the fourth level of the Tongtian Tower, but he was still beyond the third level. Gu Xuan was currently only a threat to him.
"Master, don't worry, this Gu Xuan might have a better understanding of the martial way." White Tiger suddenly said.
"Oh?" Zhou Juechu raised his eyebrows.
The White Tiger hesitated for a moment, then told him about Gu Xuan releasing the Concept of Martial Arts.
"Humph!" Zhou Juechu's expression sank, and said coldly: "No wonder your complexion was abnormal the last time we met. So you actually received Gu Xuan's reminder.
"Thank you, master!" Although Gu Xuan's concept of martial arts moved his heart, he was still Zhou Juechu's follower, so he gave up the idea of asking Gu Xuan to teach him further.
After all, what Gu Xuan was able to give him was far too ethereal, while what Zhou Juechu had given him was a substantial increase in realm.
"According to what the White Tiger said, it's very normal for Gu Xuan to be able to break through the first level so quickly. No wonder he dared to challenge me, it's because he got a fortuitous encounter with a martial concept. Hmph, although this kind of fortuitous encounter is rare, compared to me, it's not worth mentioning."
Zhou Juechu's expression became slightly better. Although the concept of martial dao was also a fortuitous encounter, but since it was one of Gu Xuan's strongest techniques, then there was not much threat to him.
What he feared the most was that Gu Xuan's strongest technique was not the strongest, but rather that he was tyrannical in every aspect.
"Look at his performance after this. I don't think he'll even be able to pass the second level." Zhou Juechu looked at his Tongtian Tower and laughed coldly.
