The Great Wild God - Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Introductory Ceremony
“Su Ling and Su Yi, these two bastards, are they trying to do something behind their backs?”

Although Zong Ling and Nan Xi were both young, the Wildlands’ disciples trained in brutal martial arts. They had to participate in fishing and hunting when they were twelve or thirteen years old. Naturally, they were all young and mature in village defense.

Wu Gong Zong Tu looked at Zong Ling and Nan Xi and taught them everything they could for the future of the Black Python. Their minds were much more mature than those of youngsters of the same age.

Although Chen Xun was extremely angry with Su Ling and Su Yi, Zong Ling and Nanxi felt uneasy when they heard what he said earlier.

Gu Jianfeng sat by the side without saying a word. The moment the disciples of the Beishan tribe walked out of the Tianma Lake Stronghold, it was destined to be much harder than the disciples of the other tribes. He did not feel that they would have a smooth journey into the Azure Water College from now on. He had a dark feeling that perhaps the real test had just begun.

Qianlan’s temperament was slightly weaker. When she first entered this extremely prosperous place, she was not necessarily more generous than Cai’er. After separating from Zuoqiu and the others, everything followed Chen Xun step by step.

Chen Xun stretched his waist and said with a relaxed smile, “What’s there to worry about?” This is a world where the strong are respected. In another two days, you will officially join the Azure Water College. All of you must fight for the sake of the Northern Mountain Tribe. In the future, you must step up your cultivation. “It doesn’t matter if you get a few more eyes now, or if you are excluded. As long as someone can enter the Reincarnation Realm, the Beishan Tribe will be able to take pride in Canglan …”

*******************

Two days later, the deacon of the monastery ran over early in the morning and gathered everyone into the Academy to participate in the introductory ceremony.

Although there wasn’t a lack of anything in the courtyard, for many tribal clan disciples, they could not go anywhere else as soon as they entered Azure Water City. They had been holding back for more than ten days.

After today, everyone in Azure Water City would be respected disciples of the Academy. Thinking about it made one extremely excited.

Chen Xun still followed his daily routine. After finishing his morning class for a day, he tidied up the few silk manuals he had read in the middle of the night before slowly and methodically consuming the medicinal food.

Gu Jianfeng couldn’t help but sigh with emotion at Chen Xun’s unhurried temperament when he saw how meticulously he refined the medicinal power in his breakfast at the grand ceremony. “Hurry up! Many disciples have already run out …”

“Zong Ya and the others must have rushed to Dragon Binding Mountain early in the morning.” Zong Ling urged with anticipation.

After they entered the city, they separated from Zuoqiu and Zong Ya and stayed in another courtyard. It had been more than ten days since they had heard from each other. Today, they would have the chance to meet Zong Ya and the others when they participated in the introductory ceremony. Thinking about it, they were also looking forward to it.

Chen Xun couldn’t resist Zong Ling and the others’ urging and put on the newly promoted disciples’ Cloud Crown and magic robes outside the Vajra Profound Armor.

Although the robes of the newly promoted disciples weren’t peerless precious robes, they were woven from a variety of different silk silk. Their color was azure and pure, and they were indescribably extraordinary when worn on their bodies.

In the Azure Water School, disciples wore three colors of magic clothes. All new disciples wore azure magic clothes, also known as green-clothed disciples. The collar of the magic clothes would be stained with gold and rusted with the badges of the various mansions.

Apart from the disciples in green, there were also core disciples in black.

As long as the newly promoted disciples reached the standards of core disciples, they could quickly change into black robes.

In Azure Water City and the Su Wu Commandant’s Mansion, the Xuan-clothed disciples had a higher status than the Qing-clothed disciples, comparable to the guests of the various mansions.

If he didn’t have the ability, his cultivation wouldn’t be able to improve, and he would probably wear a green robe until he left the Azure Water College.

Apart from the disciples in green and profound robes, the disciples in the inner court of the various palaces were all dressed in purple.

The purple-clothed disciple was the true elite of the Azure Water School, and his status in Azure Water City was even higher than the deacons of the various prefectures.

Although the purple-clothed disciples had some cultivation and were inferior to the deacons of the various prefectures, their cultivation potential and future achievements and glory were destined to far surpass the deacons of the various prefectures.

The azure robe was extremely light. The entire robe was only 2-3 taels, but it was exceptionally tough. Ordinary swords could not pierce through it at all. Wearing it on top of the Vajra Profound Armor meant that there was an additional armor on his body.

Chen Xun tied the brown belt around his waist.

This belt, like the Diamond Profound Armor, was refined from saber-toothed tiger skin. Although it was half a palm wide, it had many profound talismans engraved on it. It had the function of cleansing the dust and protecting the wind.

Chen Xun tied the trial iron medallion to his belt.

From now on, this type of iron-smelting trial token was the Learning Palace Seal used by newly promoted disciples to mark their identities. Together with their belts, it could also be said to be the first two talismans that disciples had bestowed upon them when they entered the Learning Palace.

However, the Seal of Learning Palace still imprisoned the remnant souls of desolate beasts, so it was not something new disciples could refine for the time being.

Apart from that, Chen Xun also tied the Frost Cold Saber around his waist. The only pity was that the bronze furnace was rather large and could not be carried around. It could only be hidden in the secret room of the small courtyard along with other stray items.

Chen Xun only hid the small bronze bottle containing six Nine Elements Orifice Nourishing Pills with a bottle of Origin Gathering Paste and walked out of the courtyard with Gu Jianfeng and Zong Ling.

********************

“Heh, you really are the crown of the monkey!”

Chen Xun, Gu Jianfeng, and the others walked to the north gate of the monastery and met up with the other newly promoted disciples.

Chen Xun swept his eyes and saw that Su Ling, who had only been honest for a few days, looked over with a mocking expression.

Chen Xun wore his Cloud Crown and his robes, and he had the appearance of being free from dust and out of the ordinary. Gu Jianfeng, Zong Ling, and Nan Xi had grown accustomed to wearing animal hides since they were young. They hadn’t even worn coarse linen clothes. This was the first time they wore such a long robe. It was an indescribably uncomfortable feeling.

Gu Jianfeng and the others had been cultivating savage souls since they were young. The brutal souls were extremely brilliant, tempering their muscles, bones, skin, and flesh, greatly changing their physical bodies.

Even the youngest Zong Ling, who had cultivated in the Barbarian Martial Arts for ten years, had thick skin, thick flesh, and thick bones. He stood up half a head taller than Chen Xun, as if he was half an iron tower.

He, Gu Jianfeng, and Nanxi wore their robes and sleeves. They were not that good-looking.

How could they stand being ridiculed in public because of their rough temperament?

Even though they knew that today was the introductory ceremony, Zong Ling and Nan Xi were furious. They stared at Su Ling angrily, wishing they could drag him out of the crowd and beat him up to relieve their anger.

Qianlan was thin and small, and her hem was about to be dragged to the ground. Hearing Su Ling laugh in the crowd, her delicate and pretty face was flushed red with embarrassment, and she subconsciously wanted to hide behind Chen Xun.

Chen Xun’s eyes revealed a cold light as he swept past Su Ling. He knew that if he were to continue like this, Zong Ling, Qianlan, and the others’ cultivation hearts would probably be affected. When the surrounding crowd heard Su Ling’s mockery, their eyes were filled with contempt. Obviously, they also felt that they were vulgar.

Isolating them and destroying their Dao Hearts, Chen Xun guessed that this might be Su Ling’s sinister intention of constantly provoking them, right?

“What? You guys can dress like monkeys, why don’t you call someone else to tell you?” Su Ling raised his sword-like eyebrows, provoking Chen Xun’s fierce gaze.

Gu Jianfeng’s temper was calmer than Zong Ling and Nan Xi’s, but hearing Su Ling’s words, his heart and blood started to tremble with anger. His right hand grabbed the saber at his waist, and the knuckles of his fingers cracked. The veins on his forehead were exposed, and he was about to bully his body and drag this bastard out of the crowd.

“Today is the introductory ceremony. He purposely did this because he wanted us to break the law so that we could be expelled from the Academy.” Qianlan grabbed the furious Gu Jianfeng and whispered to him.

Chen Xun’s heart skipped a beat, knowing that Qianlan’s words were reasonable.

No matter how arrogant Su Ling was, no matter how much hatred he harbored towards him, he would not be so provocative. If they were really enraged, would it be beneficial for him to cultivate in the Azure Water College in the future if he drew his saber and faced each other?

Chen Xun swept his gaze across the crowd standing at the entrance of the manor. Apart from the newly promoted disciples, there were also three deacons dressed in bright yellow robes who would accompany them to the Dragon Binding Mountain in North City to participate in the entrance ceremony.

Seeing this, Chen Xun’s heart trembled.

Apart from the two deacons who were in charge of the affairs of the monastery, there was also an unfamiliar face. He stared at the monastery with a sinister gaze, as if waiting for the slightest movement before bullying him.

This person was around thirty years old, with hook-nosed eagle eyes. He didn’t know what kind of profound art he was cultivating, but his face was pale, causing people to feel a chill in their hearts.

Looking at his collar, there were golden threads embroidered with the deacon’s logo of the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor. However, looking at his face, he had not seen this person in the monastery for more than ten days.

Chen Xun knew that they had just entered Azure Water City and had stayed in another courtyard for more than ten days. They had no contact with the outside world. Apart from Su Yi and Su Ling, who didn’t like them, the Gui Xi Tribe, who had suffered a great loss in his hands, was the most likely target.

Could it be that Su Ling had repeatedly provoked the Ghost Xi Tribe to cause trouble behind their backs and set a trap for them with the ultimate goal of expelling them from the Academy?

That’s the only reasonable explanation.

Only when they were expelled from the Academy would Ghost Faction be able to retaliate unscrupulously against them.

Chen Xun suppressed his voice and said to Gu Jianfeng, “Perhaps it was a trap set by Ghost Faction …”

After Qianlan and Chen Xun reminded him, Gu Jianfeng calmed down and laughed angrily, “Ghost Faction only dares to play this kind of trick. It seems that it is indeed useful for us to enter the Academy …”

Chen Xun saw that Gu Jianfeng’s furious emotions hadn’t gone out of control. Instead, he could use this to see through Ghost Faction’s cowardice. He thought to himself that if he continued to temper his will, his future cultivation would be limitless.

Thinking through this, Chen Xun only glanced at Su Ling fiercely and ignored it.

******************

Having Chen Xun sweep his eyes, Su Ling’s intuition had a chill that invaded his soul. The hairs on his back were so frightened that they exploded. He couldn’t help but look back at Lou Jiao.

Lou Jiao was also secretly shocked. He didn’t expect that these kids from Bei Shan would actually be able to hold their breath so calmly.

Lou Jiao had entered the Learning Palace to cultivate secret arts more than ten years ago. At this moment, he was the deacon of the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor. A few days ago, he followed Qu Shuai Lou Li to the northern mountain of Python Fang Ridge. Qu Shuai Lou Li wanted him to pay attention to Chen Xun, but he didn’t take it seriously. He never thought that the Gui Xi Tribe would suffer such a loss on him.

At this time, the Northern Mountain Tribes had the potential to unite, and the Ghost Xi Tribe was forced by the rules of the Su Clan, so they could not use force against the Northern Mountain Tribes; What was even more troublesome was that the Gui Xi Tribe had suffered such a huge loss this time, their reputation had been damaged, and their dominance in the southern foothills of Python Fang Ridge was gradually becoming untenable.

Not only did he want to avenge Shi Yi and eliminate the knot in his heart, Ghost Faction also had to deal with these kids if he wanted to eliminate the hidden dangers.

It was clear that the North Mountain tribes secretly had a heart of uniting, mainly because they had high hopes for these kids.

If these people were allowed to enter the Learning Academy to cultivate successfully, if anyone could enter the Reincarnation Realm and become a Heavenly Barbarian expert, then Ghost Faction’s attempt to unite the northern mountain of Python Fang Ridge would be useless!

Seeing Chen Xun and the others walk towards the Dragon Binding Mountain first, Su Ling dragged himself back a little and moved closer to the building reef. He asked in a low voice, “What should we do if these kids don’t fall for the trap?”

Lou Jiao said, “When you enter the Academy later, you just follow your plan.”

Su Ling hesitated. He wasn’t afraid of causing trouble in the monastery, but when he arrived at the Dragon Binding Mountain Learning Academy, the situation was completely different.

Not to mention the important figures of the Sixth Commandant’s Manor, there might even be elders attending today’s induction ceremony for newly promoted disciples.

Even if he dragged Chen Xun and the others into the water and caused them to be expelled from the Academy, what would he do if the normally strict clan elders even punished him?

Su Ling hesitantly said, “I’m afraid not. After all, Thirteenth Uncle admires this kid very much …”

“The Su Wu Commandant’s Manor is divided between Master Thirteen and Master Four for internal and external affairs. Master Thirteen is outside and Master Four is inside.” Lou Jiao laughed sinisterly and his voice echoed in Su Ling’s ears. “Do you think Master Thirteen will appreciate the role that Master Thirteen appreciates?”

“…” Su Ling’s heart stirred. He felt that Lou Jiao’s words were reasonable, but he had a deep respect for the Su Clan ever since he was young. Thinking about how such a big scene gave rise to right and wrong, he was always nervous.

“Don’t worry, if Fourth Master punishes you, the Gui Xi Tribe will definitely not be at your disadvantage.” Lou Jiao sent a voice transmission. “The Su Wu Commandant’s Mansion has declined for the past thirty to fifty years, and the Third Order and Sixth Commandant’s Mansion is ranked at the bottom. Even if you can stay in the Su Wu Commandant’s Mansion to cultivate, how many cultivation resources can you obtain? Why not show your generosity and win the favor of his mansion?”
