Chapter 294: Chapter 177: The Master of Yinlou Pavilion_1
Translator: 549690339
Seven-star Study Palace, Xu Yan was there for the second time.
He remembered those scholars of martial arts, a smile crept onto his face, they must have known about how he had awed the Inner Domain and slashed down the peak Great Grandmaster.
They should realize that he was not a grandmaster martial artist, but an Innate Realm martial artist.
Scholars of martial arts who love to study martial arts and are obsessed with it, how could they not be tempted when the real martial arts were presented in front of them?
“The true martial artist is not a brute, as taught by my master. And I am a true martial artist.”
Xu Yan was delighted in his heart.
Chang Qing Pavilion always lacked martial artists, you cannot handle everything yourself, and you certainly can’t disturb the tranquil and elegant life of the master because of it.
Therefore, these martial arts scholars were very suitable candidates.
They were always persistent. Once they made a promise and found their faith, they would definitely defend it fiercely.
To lay down their lives for Chang Qing Pavilion.
However, the martial arts scholars were one of the foundations of the Seven-star Study Palace, it was not an easy task to poach them away, and it might even lead to enmity with the Seven-star Study Palace.
Seven-star Study Palace was undoubtedly powerful. Even though Xu Yan was not afraid, it was inevitable that he had to deal with some troubles, and these troubles would last for a while.
It might even disturb the leisure life of the master.
However, now that Fu Yuntian had invited him to the Seven-star Study Palace, and the Palace Master of Seven-star Study Palace wanted to meet him, it probably had something to do with his previous comments on martial arts.
Maybe some cooperation could be achieved.
After all, the Seven-star Study Palace was different from other forces, in that its purpose was to study and spread martial arts.
“Senior Brother, I want to challenge the Arena!”
Meng Chong enthusiastically announced.
“Good!”
Xu Yan nodded.
With Meng Chong’s power, he could already kill a peak Great Grandmaster. It was inevitable that he would pass through the Arena.
After all, his strength was obvious. This applied even if the ninth layer of the Arena was guarded by a peak Great Grandmaster.
The Seven-star Study Palace’s Arena was as bustling as ever.
Today, a bald hunk unexpectedly arrived and, following Xu Yan’s previous example, went straight to the seventh level of the Arena and above.
The Seven-star Study Palace disciples who guarded the Arena were enraged.
Meng Chong didn’t even climb the Arena, flicking his finger he sent people flying.
This scene was very familiar.
All the martial artists, including the disciples of the Seven-star Study Palace, had a peculiar look on their faces.
Could this bald bruiser and Xu Yan have the same master?
They seemed exactly the same.
Fu Yuntian was helpless, these two brothers really had the same manners, even their ways of challenging the Arena were the same.
“Friend Xu, your junior brother doesn’t need to challenge the Arena. The Arena is pointless to him,”
Fu Yuntian said with a sigh.
A man who could physically strangle a peak Great Grandmaster, who came to challenge the Arena, wasn’t he just bullying others?
“My junior brother wants to enter the Book Pavilion to see the martial arts texts, naturally, he needs to challenge the Arena,”
Xu Yan replied with a serious face.
“Today will be an exception, let your junior brother enter the Book Pavilion,”
Fu Yuntian reluctantly said.
“That’s not appropriate. The rules of Seven-star Study Palace must be observed. We can’t allow others to think that he can avoid challenging the Arena just because he is my junior brother.
People would think that my junior brother can’t pass through the Arena.”
Xu Yan, however, refused with a shake of his head.
Fu Yuntian opened his mouth, didn’t know what to say. Aren’t the rules made to be broken, isn’t that what you said? Now you are talking about obeying the rules again?
As expected, Meng Chong easily passed the ninth layer of the Arena, startling the spectators.
this is the Book Pavilion. The ninth layer is open for you too.”
Fu Yuntian took Xu Yan and Meng Chong to the front of the Book Pavilion.
“Junior brother, go directly to the ninth floor and look there. If there is time later, read the books on the lower floors.”
Xu Yan said.
“Alright!”
Meng Chong nodded, went directly into the Book Pavilion, and went to the ninth floor.
“Friend Xu, come with me, the Palace Master wants to see you.”
Fu Yuntian made a gesture of invitation.
Under Fu Yuntian’s lead, Xu Yan headed towards the core area of the Seven-star Study Palace.
Friend Xu, you are in the Innate Realm, not a Grandmaster Realm martial artist, right?”
On the way, Fu Yuntian asked.
“Correct, as I said before,”
Xu Yan nodded.
Fu Yuntian nodded, “From where do you learn, my friend?”
“My master has transcended the secular world, you wouldn’t know even if I told you,”
Xu Yan replied indifferently.
The two passed through a quaint courtyard area and entered an old, almost dilapidated courtyard at the back of the Seven-star Study Palace.
In the courtyard stood a seven-rank Spiritual Tea tree, over three meters high, with lush branches and dark green buds.
Under the tree, there was a stone table and several stools.
An old man with grey hair was sitting on the stool, brewing tea.
Xu Yan felt a chill in his heart, the old man was very strong, much stronger than Demon Lord Huo Tu.
He even felt that the old man was no longer at the level of a Great Grandmaster.
“Young friend, sit!”
The old man looked affable and revealed a kind smile. After Xu Yan sat down, he personally poured him a cup of tea.
“This tea is picked from this Spiritual Tea tree. This Spiritual Tea tree is very old, it is said to have been planted by the founder of our Seven-star Study Palace…”
The old man was introducing the Spiritual Tea tree next to him.
Fu Yuntian stood quietly by the side.
Xu Yan took a sip of the tea and asked, “How should I address you, sir?”
“Bai Yun Kong, some folks call me Old Man Bai,”
The Palace Master of Seven-star Study Palace, Bai Yun Kong, said with a chuckle.
Next, Bai Yun Kong seemed to be chatting about everyday matters, introducing the Seven-star Study Palace, refilling Xu Yan’s tea. He kept talking for half an hour.
Only then did he ask the question, “Young friend, may I ask, what is the realm above Innate?”
