94: Chapter 91: Bright Future 94: Chapter 91: Bright Future Chu Yunyun was the first among the Inner Sect Disciples to sense something amiss.
She immediately frowned and looked in the direction of the Gathering Essence Array.
Hu Kan and Hu Lai, the brothers, followed closely behind.
They stopped their breathing exercises and stood up, looking distantly into the sky.
Something seems off over there.”
“Good heavens, is that a battle of Divine Intent?”
Junior Brother Chu’s Divine Sense cultivation is impressive, and his Sword Intent is strong too.
He can actually fight against eight people alone?”
The two were well-informed and understood the situation after just one glance in that direction.
At this moment, the principal Lei Yuan and four instructors led by Ye Zhiqiu had already flown from the Stone Platform to the front of the Gathering Essence Array, arousing the curiosity of the present disciples.
They all stood on tiptoe to look in that direction, and some even jumped high from the crowd, causing a commotion throughout the training ground.
Some people couldn’t see clearly due to their height, so they directly asked Hu Kan and Hu Lai for news.
“What else could it be?” Hu Kan’s twin eyebrows twisted as if dancing: “That guy Liu Xingruo colluded with seven Three-leaf Disciples to ambush Junior Brother Chu.
But Junior Brother Chu held on and didn’t fall.
Now it’s their turn to be in trouble.”
Hu Lai, stroking his beard, explained with a proud gleam in his eyes: “For martial cultivators like us at the Ninth Grade, we can’t harm people through Divine Sense Thought from a distance.
But as everyone knows, the Gathering Essence Array not only gathers Spiritual Element but also helps disciples condense Divine Thoughts and cultivate Divine Sense.
These people had ill intentions, trying to use the Gathering Essence Array to condense Divine Thoughts and gang up against Junior Brother Chu.
But their plan has backfired.”
“—Junior Brother Chu is amazing, able to withstand the combined Divine Thought attack of eight people.
I had said before that Junior Brother Chu was already the Inner Chief of the Martial Arts Academy, and there were still people who disagreed.
“You fools who don’t recognize true talent, do you not understand Junior Brother Chu’s greatness?
Junior Brother Chu has a noble temperament and usually disdains to argue.
Finally, today you can witness his capability.”
“Some even said that Junior Brother Chu used despicable means during the actual combat assessment, shameless and vile.
I see these people are the truly despicable ones!”
As they spoke, both were elated and excited.
At this moment, both inside and outside the training ground, including the Martial Arts Instructors, were whispering and discussing.
Among the thousands of Inner and Outer Disciple present, various expressions could be seen.
Some were elated and proud, some were dumbfounded and in disbelief, while others had obscure eyes and complex expressions.
In recent days, Chu Xisheng’s numerous exploits at South Street Temple Market had been spreading all over the Martial Arts Academy, known by everyone.
But very few people took these rumors seriously.
Some people had no concept of the ‘Life and Death Arena’ at South Street Temple Market; others subconsciously resisted, unwilling to believe it.
Even knowing the levels of Zhuang Hongfei and Zhou Liangchen, they instinctively thought the rumors were exaggerated, absurd, and unrealistic.
Even if Chu Xisheng really defeated Zhuang Hongfei, he must have used some underhanded means.
A person who just entered the Inner Sect for two months could defeat Zhuang Hongfei; how could that not be an Arabian Night?
But today, the scene within the Gathering Essence Array completely shattered their perception of Chu Xisheng.
—That guy was even stronger than the rumored Chu Xisheng!
Among the crowd, many female disciples were anxious, filled with righteous indignation.
These people are truly shameless scoundrels.”
“That Liu Xingruo from the West Courtyard is such a hypocrite, and yet there are still many people in the West Courtyard who defend him.”
“Will senior brother get hurt?
He looks so strained.”
“This is one against eight, how could it be trivial?
Look, his face is all pale.
But Junior Brother Chu has such a fine demeanor; his sickly weak appearance makes one want to care for him.”
“Who has Hui Ling Powder?
I’m willing to pay a high price for a bottle, to help Junior Brother Chu heal later.”
Many young boys nearby overheard their whispers, but their faces didn’t look too good.
They exchanged glances, showing helplessness.
And at this moment, inside and outside the training ground, as the noise reached a crescendo, Chu Xisheng saw fireworks constantly bursting before his eyes.
But at this moment, he couldn’t afford to be distracted.
The Three-leaf Disciples opposite him simultaneously bit their tongues, further stimulating their Divine Sense power and engaging in this clash of Divine Thoughts!
Chu Xisheng felt the mountain pressing down on his Primordial Spirit was at least half as heavy as before!
At this moment, although his head was throbbing, and his Primordial Spirit felt like being pricked by needles,
unexpectedly, he managed to hold on, not only countering the Divine Sense power erupting from the opponents but also feeling a significant relief in his Divine Soul.
Chu Xisheng quickly understood the reason.
A piece of information popped into his mind—your Vengeful Blade Intent has increased to Medium Strength!
For some reason, the number of people on this training ground harboring malice toward him did not decrease but increased, causing the strength of his Vengeful Blade Intent to rise again.
But that alone was not enough to defeat these eight people and end this Divine Thought confrontation.
Chu Xisheng’s expression changed slightly as he recalled the scene inside the Fire Bone Cave that day.
He had used Qin Muge’s Character Card, suppressing over a hundred horse bandits from White Cloud Village with ‘Vengeful Blade Intent’ at that moment.
Chu Xisheng took a deep breath, recalling the True Intent diagram he saw in the Library a few days ago and the feel of casting ‘Vengeful’ Blade Intent in the Fire Bone Cave.
His entire aura changed at that moment.
Lu Luanti was the first to sense it, focusing his attention on Chu Xisheng with great astonishment.
At this moment, principal Lei Yuan called off the Martial Arts Instructors who were about to stop the array operation, his eyes showing more delight.
Chu Xisheng didn’t draw his blade, yet a sharp metallic sound rang out inside and outside the Gathering Essence Array, causing painful reverberations in everyone’s eardrums.
Behind Chu Xisheng, a phantom of a giant beast faintly appeared.
It had a dragon’s head and a jackal’s body, holding a battle blade in its mouth!
As the giant beast slightly crouched, the battle blade in its mouth emitted another ‘clank’ of sharp sound.
Led by Liu Xingruo, all eight people spat blood simultaneously.
The Primordial Spirit thoughts they had condensed shattered and collapsed at this instant!
“Blade Intent Shape-shifting?” Ye Zhiqiu’s pupils widened, her face stunned: “This is at least in the Fifth Realm of Blade Intent.”
When did Chu Xisheng cultivate such powerful Blade Intent?
This guy’s cultivation was only at the third layer of the Nourishing Essence Skill.
Could she be dreaming?
Why was the scene before her so bizarre?
“Far from the Fifth Realm.”
Jian Cangfeng arrived belatedly, in green robes, landing outside the Gathering Essence Array: “This is Vengeful Blade Intent!
The stronger the opponent, the stronger it becomes.
The more people harbor malice against him in this place, the stronger his Blade Intent gets.”
Jian Cangfeng’s eyes also showed surprise and admiration: “But he has attained the third level at least.
Zhiqiu and Junior Brother Lei have taught an excellent student.
I must inform the main sect and credit you both.
The ‘Vengeful’ Blade Intent is extremely difficult to practice and very rare.
Even if this lad only reaches the eighth level in the future, he can still hold his own on the battlefield, single-handedly slaying thousands, with boundless prospects.”
In the past, when the Dominating Martial King first joined the military, he had only achieved the ten layers of Vengeful Blade Intent, yet he could fight against thousands alone and remain invincible.
At this moment, the Dominating Martial King Chu Yunyun squinted her eyes, looking toward the rear courtyard of the Martial Arts Academy.
Just now, when everyone’s attention was drawn to Chu Xisheng, she noticed that the nascent Spiritual Evil called ‘Vengeance’ had moved.
It resonated and trembled with Chu Xisheng’s Blade Intent, echoing from a distance.
Chu Yunyun’s lips quickly curled into a high smile.
This Spiritual Evil, so early on, took an interest in Chu Xisheng, the most delightful event since Chu Xisheng’s cultivation reached the grade for her.
