After all, the techniques he had displayed were simply too outrageous. Forty percent fist intent, paired with a top-tier Earth-rank fist technique. Now forty percent sword intent as well…
It felt like Gu Yang had an endless supply of trump cards. No one could guess what he’d pull out next.
Li Tianming was filled with emotion. He was proud and grateful that the sect had produced such a true dragon.
But he also felt a twinge of worry. Xue Wujian was a persistent threat. If he kept targeting Gu Yang, it could hinder the boy’s growth.
Forget it. Let the Sect Master worry about that.
As he pondered, The flying vessel soon returned to Liuyun Sect.
Upon arrival, The True Disciples dispersed to rest.
Gu Yang, however, followed Li Tianming straight to the Sect Master’s hall.
Meanwhile, news of Gu Yang’s performance in the True Disciple Tournament spread like wildfire across the sect.
“What?! Senior Brother Gu Yang won first place in the tournament?” “Wasn’t he just promoted to True Disciple? How did he beat Senior Brother Liu?” “What? He mastered forty percent fist intent? And forty percent sword intent too?” “He killed a Core Formation cultivator across realms?” “His sword qi instantly killed a fourth-level Core Formation elder?” “Wait… did I hear that right?”
As one shocking revelation followed another, The inner disciples were left speechless.
Did Gu Yang go to the tournament and come back to a completely different world?
Are we falling behind… or did several years just pass in a single day?
Gu Yang had only been a True Disciple for just over a month. And yet, He had transformed overnight into the new number one among Liuyun Sect’s True Disciples. On top of that, he had earned the title of Haonan Province’s top prodigy.
Countless inner disciples were stunned. But once they learned the full story, their shock turned into awe, then envy, then jealousy… And finally, admiration and reverence.
The same reaction was unfolding inside the Sect Master’s hall.
Chu Liuyun shot to his feet the moment Li Tianming finished speaking. His face was filled with disbelief.
“Grand Elder, you must be joking with me!”
Chu Liuyun frowned, clearly struggling to believe it.
Li Tianming could only offer a helpless smile. He understood the reaction. If he hadn’t witnessed it himself, he wouldn’t have believed it either. That was why he had brought Gu Yang along.
“Gu Yang, why don’t you show the Sect Master yourself?”
Gu Yang didn’t hesitate. He had intentionally displayed these techniques…there was no need to hide them now.
When Chu Liuyun saw Gu Yang demonstrate his full power, His eyes widened in shock.
But that shock quickly turned into overwhelming joy.
“Gu Yang, you’re truly exceptional!” “Our Liuyun Sect… has finally birthed a true dragon!”
Chu Liuyun repeated his praise three times, His gaze toward Gu Yang filled with anticipation.
“You killed Yun Hai of Baiyang Sect, and won first place in the True Disciple Tournament. You’ve brought immense honor to our sect.”
“Whatever you want…just say the word. As Sect Master, I’ll do my best to grant it!” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⟡fire.net
Chu Liuyun spoke with genuine curiosity.
Hearing this, Gu Yang smiled faintly.
This is exactly what I was waiting for. Since you’ve offered… I won’t hold back.
