Chapter 19
"I hereby announce that the winner of this Outer Sect Tournament is Gu Shaoyang!”
Elder Lin announced the news with a smile.
Everyone looked at Gu Shaoyang with envy. Gu Shaoyang was also a little excited.
First place in the Grand Tournament, plus first place in the sect assessment, meant that he would obtain a Human Rank Upper Class cultivation technique and a Martial Skill that was at least at the Human Rank.
"The winner of the competition will come up to receive the reward…"
In this competition, Gu Shaoyang was first, Tang Mingshun was second, Xia Qingqiu had disappeared after the fight with Gu Shaoyang, and Mo Feng was third.
"Elder Lin, can I be promoted to the inner sect?”
After receiving the reward, Tang Ming suddenly opened his mouth and made an application to Elder Lin. When he spoke, he looked at Gu Shaoyang unwillingly with a little resentment in his eyes.
He deliberately concealed the news of breaking through to Element Gathering Tier so that he could be in the limelight at this Great Outer Sect Competition.
However, he was defeated and lost face, which made Gu Shaoyang a monster.
Moreover, many female disciples who had admired Tang Ming started to admire Gu Shaoyang.
After all, the latter was stronger than him, more talented than him, had a brighter future than him, and even looked better than him.
Now, Tang Ming did not want to stay in the outer sect for even a moment. He could not wait to enter the inner sect.
Elder Lin nodded slightly when he heard Tang Ming's words and said,""Sure."
"Gu Shaoyang, I'll wait for you in the inner sect…Sooner or later, I'll return the sword to you.”
Holding the wound on his chest that Gu Shaoyang had stabbed him with, Tang Ming took a deep look at Gu Shaoyang and left with a disciple on duty.
Gu Shaoyang did not take Tang Ming seriously. So what if Tang Ming had entered the inner sect? The gap between him and Tang Ming would only get bigger and bigger in the future, and there was no possibility of him catching up.
"Your reward is that you can use this token to go to the second level of the Scripture Depository to choose a cultivation technique.”
Elder Lin handed Gu Shaoyang a wooden token with the two small words " Qingyun " on it.
Gu Shaoyang thanked him respectfully and was about to leave when Elder Lin suddenly called out to him.
"Gu Shaoyang, are you willing to join the inner sect?”
Gu Shaoyang was stunned.
Inner sect? Wasn't it only qualified to enter after reaching Element Gathering Tier?!
Elder Lin saw his confusion and explained,""Your talent is outstanding, and your comprehension of martial arts concepts and combat strength are outstanding. I can make an exception on behalf of the sect to welcome you into the inner sect…After all, the environment in the outer sect won't cause much pressure on you anymore. You'll only be wasting your time.”
Gu Shaoyang nodded.
Indeed, most of the outer sect disciples had their attributes absorbed by him, and the cooldown time was as long as ten days to half a month.
Those who could enter the inner sect were all as talented as Tang Ming and Mo Feng. If he could enter the inner sect earlier, it would be of great benefit to him.
"Thank you, Elder."
Elder Lin nodded gratefully and continued,""I plan to recommend you to Elder Lei of the inner sect and ask him to take you in as his disciple…Elder Lei is a great master of the sword path in our sect. You've just formed your sword intent, so you can ask him for guidance…"
Gu Shaoyang hesitated for a while and said,""I wonder if there are any elders in the sect who are good at alchemy?”
Elder Lin was stunned and said in surprise,"You want to learn alchemy?"
Gu Shaoyang nodded." I've always been interested in alchemy. I have a feeling that I'm quite talented in alchemy, so I want to learn…"
"Not bad talent? Hehe…"
Elder Lin couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Gu Shaoyang helplessly.
Do you know what kind of talent is needed to refine pills? Moreover, even if he was talented, how could he compare to Gu Shaoyang's talent in swordsmanship?!
You obviously don't understand the concept of 20% sword intent at the ninth level of Qi Refinement.!
Elder Lin sighed helplessly,""You monstrous geniuses always like to be unexpected and do nothing proper. Wei Zhuang is like this, and so are you. You should learn from Ji Feng on this point. He is a martial arts fanatic…"
Gu Shaoyang smiled embarrassedly and cupped his hands.""Elder, please grant my wish."
Elder Lin nodded." Alright, I'm the best alchemist in the sect. You can just take me as your master."”
Gu Shaoyang was overjoyed." Greetings…"
"Wait…"
Elder Lin stopped Gu Shaoyang and said seriously,""Elder Lei, whom I introduced to you earlier, is a Whirling Core stage expert. His Lightning Lightning Extreme Sword is incomparably domineering, and he has even comprehended seventy percent of his sword intent…Although this old man also practices the sword, I am far inferior to him.”
"Master, I've thought it through," Gu Shaoyang said without hesitation.”
With my current and future comprehension abilities, even if I don't consult others, I will be able to make great progress in martial arts. On the contrary, not learning alchemy is truly a waste of my ability to extract attributes.
