Fast. Chu Feng walked towards the martial arts training ground that was surrounded by people. As he looked at the people who were whispering to each other, Chu Feng still chose to stay low-key in a corner. However, the people who were chatting were restlessly pointing at Chu Feng. They were talking about 'bad luck', 'being trained by wolves', etc. They were speaking dirty words.

However, Chu Feng did not have the slightest change in his mood. It was as if everything was unrelated to him. He didn't know why, but ever since he drew a clear line between himself and the world, Chu Feng's entire person became abnormally cold. It was as if he no longer cared about anything in the mortal world. If he were to talk about anyone else who could make Chu Feng's heart ache, other than her, she would be the only one.

He quietly walked to a corner and ignored everything else, not asking about his career. And in the crowd, there was a girl in bright red clothes staring at him. Those eyes, filled with love, made people feel pity for him. However, Chu Feng, who had the body of ice, did not notice any of this.

The competition started before long, but this time, Chu Feng was not as disinterested as last time. Instead, he was carefully observing the movements of the two people in the competition.

Not long after, Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, as if a stone in his heart was put down.

Just as Chu Feng slightly heaved a sigh of relief, on the tall stage, there were several dangerous scenes. They only saw the young man who wore grey clothes turning around and thrusting his sword straight towards his opponent's throat.

However, his opponent did not seem to be someone easy to deal with. He leaned back slightly to avoid this fatal strike. Instead, he struck the tree with his snake, stabbing at the black-robed youth's chest.

In just a short moment, the outcome was decided. A corpse fell on the high platform. Fresh red blood dyed the floor above the stage, but the people below were wildly clamoring, as if the bright red blood was very stimulating. Even the few elders who were looking at the stage stroked their beards, and they looked at this life-and-death battle with satisfaction.

However, Chu Feng coldly glared at the people who were in the middle of the liveliness.

The second round, third round, fourth round, they all successively fell. Although it was not fatal, it was still riddled with wounds.

The tiniest bit of blood, the tiniest bit of heartlessness, had already caused Chu Feng to feel utter disappointment in Mount Shu. The only strand of hope he had was also completely gone.

Soon, it was Chu Feng's turn. This time, his opponent was a girl from the adjacent stream. But in the instant that Chu Feng stepped onto the stage, the girl who was on the tall stage saw Chu Feng's appearance clearly. She was so angry that she kept on backing away and her legs kept on trembling.

In the end, he turned around and jumped off the high platform before running away in a panic.

Seeing this scene, Chu Feng was speechless. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This time, they won without a fight.

However, the few elders in the stands looked down at the black-robed youth with a deeper expression. Why was this boy so lucky twice? Was it heaven's will or was it man-made? Although they were very confused, they did not say anything. They only quietly watched and waited for the next match. Was this boy as lucky as before?

Chu Feng who was on the tall stage strangely walked down. He helplessly shook his head, then he walked towards the peak of the mountain.

The jeers and jeers that were heard in both ears this time round were even more deafening than the previous ones.

Looking at the ugly faces, Chu Feng had an indescribable feeling.

However, just as everyone was laughing, a beautiful red figure quietly walked away. However, her gaze was still fixated on the black-robed figure that had left. It was as though he was the only person in the world in her eyes.

Following Chu Feng's departure, the noisy Martial Arts Practice Grounds also quieted down. The competition also continued as usual, but in the following matches, there was no one who lost to luck like Chu Feng. All of them climbed out from the piles of dead people.

It was also because of this reason that the people who had obtained victory looked down upon Chu Feng, who had obtained victory without fighting.

On top of the mountain, there was a black-robed man standing in the wind. His eyes were abnormally deep as he looked at the martial arts practice field on another mountain.

With his sharp intuition, Chu Feng discovered that a conspiracy was coming his way. Although he did not know what sort of method they were using, he knew that he was in a dangerous situation.

However, Chu Feng was not worried in the slightest. He was unable to see even the slightest change in his emotions.

After lingering for a while, the figure left the forest. It was as if she was already used to this situation.

After the beautiful figure left, the forest became quiet again. A few bird cries sounded clearly in the empty forest.

After observing for a while from the top of the mountain, Chu Feng sat down underneath the ancient tree and started to meditate.

White clouds drifted in the sky from tens of thousands of feet high. A few strands of sunlight shone through the tender leaves, but Chu Feng, who was wearing a black robe, did not move at all like an old monk who was meditating.

Within the training grounds, a pair of cold eyes was currently staring at the mountain peak. Occasionally, a trace of a cold smile would appear on the corner of his mouth, making him look very bone-piercing.

Very quickly, the stars appeared again, and the bright moon appeared in the sky.

Under the ancient tree, Chu Feng opened his eyes and puzzledly looked at the forest. After a moment of pause, Chu Feng muttered, "Since friend has come, do not hide yourself."

After Chu Feng spoke for a long time, a cough came from the forest. The cough was a bit hoarse as it said, "Little brother, your spiritual awareness is quite sharp. This old one admires you."

As the sound neared, Chu Feng clearly saw the person in the forest, but it shocked Chu Feng. It was the floor sweeping old man from the White Jade Cave.

Chu Feng felt very grateful to this old man that he had only met once. After all, that old man had taught him before. So, when Chu Feng saw that person, he very politely walked up and said, "So it's you, old sir. I wonder why you're here so late?"

"Hehe, little brother, you said that you are the only one on this mountain peak, why would I come here if I'm not looking for you? "Could it be that he's here for a stroll?" As he spoke, the old man's voice rang out with laughter.

Hearing those words, Chu Feng looked at that old man in a bit of confusion, but he still very politely asked, "Senior, what business might you have with me?"

"Hehe, little brother, don't be nervous. I'm not looking for you for anything bad, I just want to..." After saying those words, the old man paused for a moment. Then, he began to carefully inspect Chu Feng's body. He did not say anything.

As for Chu Feng, he did not speak up to inquire about it. Instead, he quietly waited there.

"I want to take you in as my disciple. Are you willing?"

After a long time, the old man spoke.

After hearing those words, Chu Feng was stunned. His eyes were wide open and he didn't know what to say.
