BXBX NOVEL Chapter 45: The Man Second To He Yiming
Chapter 45: The Man Second To He Yiming
In the Sect Square, a total of 800 young disciples were practising their powerful martial arts. Among them, the weakest ones were at the tenth stage of the Body Forging Realm.
Alchemy Pavilion, Forging Hall, Library, and other buildings. All of which were magnificent and available.
Above the sky, there was a huge array covering the entire sect. Obviously, it was a powerful guardian array.
It was the second-grade sect that had been passed down for a hundred years: Zheng Yuan Sect.
In the main hall of the sect, a young man was quietly listening to an old man’s report.
If He Yiming was present, this old man would be able to recognize him. It was Wang Ping, the old man who brought He Yiming to the extreme wilderness.
“So … that fellow He Yiming, really established a sect in the extremely desolate region?” After listening to Wang Ping’s words, the young man couldn’t help laughing.
“Yes!” Wang Ping replied flatly.
Naturally, Wang Ping knew the young man. He was second only to He Yiming, the second-highest ranking among the graduates of Haotian Academy, Gu Changfeng.
He was the man standing behind He Yiming at the graduation ceremony. But unlike He Yiming, the top scorer with no background, no backing, and no resource, Gu Changfeng’s grandfather was the deputy dean of Haotian Academy, so Gu Changfeng didn’t need to re-establish a sect himself. Gu Changfeng’s grandfather arranged this Zheng Yuan Sect for Gu Changfeng.
Zheng Yuan Sect was the real second-grade sect, and it was still the top batch. There were as many as a dozen elders in the Foundation Establishment Realm. The disciples under his family were even more than a thousand.
To welcome Gu Changfeng to become the new Sect Master, and to make Gu Changfeng the first in the upcoming month-end assessment, 800 outstanding new disciples were recruited at once.
These new disciples were not initiates who were just starting to cultivate. They were all excellent existences belonging to small sects, families, and other forces.
There were more than a dozen of them who were born with spiritual bodies. Several disciples were known as geniuses.
This was the advantage of a strong background.
In contrast, He Yiming was alone in a ruined sect in a very desolate land. There was no one in a thousand miles and danger was lurking in every direction.
The gap between the two sides was really too big!
“Extreme wasteland … Hehe, He Yiming, you are really are courting death!” Gu Changfeng smiled disdainfully.
“I heard that He Yiming graduated at the top of Haotian Academy. Maybe he chose the Extreme Desolate Region deliberately! Extreme Desolate Region is perilous, but at the same time, I heard that there are great opportunities there too. Get the chance …” An elder hesitated before speaking immediately.
“Hahahaha!” Hearing this, Gu Changfeng laughed out loud, then spoke gloomily. “Sixth elder, you don’t understand why the Extreme Desolate Region is called extreme and dire!
“According to Senior Wang Ping, the sect that He Yiming chose was surrounded by War Hunchback Beasts. It is an extremely powerful monster in the early stage of the Spirit Vein Realm. Three cultivators in the early stage of the Spirit Vein Realm can only kill it by combining their efforts!
“He Yiming can surely kill a War Hunchback Beast, but if he wants to go out and grow his sect stronger? It’d be impossible!
“Okay, even if He Yiming, the Tianzong wizard, can kill the War Hunchback Beast, what about it?
“War Hunchback Beasts are monsters that live in groups, and there are at least a thousand around the sect where He Yiming is located! Give him three years, then maybe he can kill them all. But what about recruiting disciple and developing the sect? It’s a joke!
“What’s more, even if He Yiming walks out of the sect, there is an even greater crisis!”
He continued insidiously, “He Yiming’s sect is facing danger in all directions. To the east is the endless sea, and there are often tsunamis and Sea Race invasion! Once the Sea Race finds He Yiming, it will inevitably continue to attack until He Yiming is completely wiped out. In the endless sea, round seas are like clouds, and there are even Heavenly Pill Realm cultivators. What can he use to fight them? As long as the Sea Race had the advance team, they can kill He Yiming’s entire sect!
“As for the north, there is the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountain Range, with countless powerful monsters everywhere! There used to be a strong Heavenly Pill cultivator who entered there, but never came back!
“To the south is the Hell Desert. The sun is blazing, and ordinary cultivators will be roasted if they can’t hold their breaths!
“The last is the Warlands. The human race has been slaughtered long ago. Thousands of alien races are fighting there, and all alien races are extremely hostile to the Human race! Once human cultivators appear, they will be besieged!
“There is no one in the Extreme Desolate Land for thousands of miles!
“The Quartet is desperate!
“He Yiming, he is poor and without any background. He is just an ant with a little weight!
“Come on, tell me … How are his fighting chances?” Gu Changfeng smiled and roared.
“Sect Master, don’t get excited …” The elders were taken aback and hurriedly comforted him.
“I’m excited? Am I excited? Do you think I’m excited? He’s just an ant! I, Gu Changfeng, will care about the trash, He Yiming?” Gu Changfeng roared, his face distorted a lot.
“Sect Master, how much hatred do you have for He Yiming?!” Everyone was not stupid, even the monkeys could see that Gu Changfeng hated He Yiming to the bone.
“I heard that He Yiming rejected Gu Changfeng’s request and ruthlessly defeated Gu Changfeng in the graduation test. It seems to be true!” Wang Ping cast a glance at Gu Changfeng.
Although he knew that the assessment was coming at the end of the month, He Yiming would never win over Gu Changfeng.
The gap between the two sides was too big. It’s simply the difference between the earth and the skies. But Wang Ping knew in his heart that He Yiming was far better than Gu Changfeng.
He Yiming was a real genius who could beat thousands of students in Haotian Academy and graduate as the top student.
And Gu Changfeng … If it weren’t for his grandpa, the deputy dean …
Bah!
Wang Ping spat a mouthful of phlegm.
“Huh? Senior Wang Ping, what’s the matter?” Gu Changfeng glanced.
“It’s nothing, the climate here is a bit dry, and my throat is a bit uncomfortable!” Wang Ping replied solemnly.
“Well, Senior Wang Ping was invited to come here to inform the younger generation of this news. The younger generation is very grateful. Come, I’ll treat Senior Wang Ping well!” Gu Changfeng waved his hand, and several maids came forward and led Wang Ping to rest in the attic.
“He Yiming, in more than half a month, the assessment will begin. You must not die early! I, Gu Changfeng, must defeat you in the assessment!”
“And that bitch. For four years, she never paid attention to this genius. She was only with that bastard He Yiming. Damn it! Damn it!!!” Gu Changfeng thought of another figure and gritted his teeth more.
“Nangong Li … Her background is too horrible … The entire Haotian Academy can’t afford to provoke her! You must never provoke her! Remember!” Thinking of his grandpa’s instructions, Gu Changfeng could only hold back no matter how angry he was, not to mention how uncomfortable it felt.
At the same time, Gu Changfeng recalled the day of graduation.
“The current top disciple of the Haotian Academy …”
“He Yiming and Nangong Li, tied for first place!” On the square of Haotian Academy, He Yiming and Nangong Li stood side by side, becoming the most eye-catching existences in the eyes of tens of thousands of students in Haotian Academy.
They stared at each other as if they only had each other in their eyes. The woman was affectionate, and the man was calm and gentle. It was simply a golden match.
Although Gu Changfeng was the second, no one paid attention to him, and he was reduced to a small thing in the corner.
The more he thought about it, the angrier Gu Changfeng became.
Nangong Li. He didn’t dare to provoke her. But He Yiming …
“Wait for the assessment at the end of the month. I will let everyone know that I, Gu Changfeng, am the real dragon among the dragons, the genius among the geniuses!” Gu Changfeng swore fiercely.
“That’s right! I can discuss this with Grandpa, maybe we can start the assessment in advance? He Yiming will never pass!” Gu Changfeng suddenly thought of a very sinister plan …
