Gu Daoist Master Chapter 25

"Is it Fang Yuan, or Fang Zheng? Some disciples were muttering. Like always, there were people who could not differentiate those twin brothers, Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng.

"It is Fang Zheng. Fang Yuan's face always looks solemn. Anxiousness will definitely not have appeared on his visage." Someone answered.

"Ah, then I should see this. For three years, Fang Zheng is the only a grade A apt.i.tude genius that has appeared in our mountain stronghold." One by one, everyone was searching with their eyes.

Fang Zheng could feel the pressure lying in those pairs of eyes. This made him even more nervous.

Standing on the platform, his fingers were trembling.

He released the first Moon Blade. Initially, it was intended to head towards the scarecrow's bosom. However, because of his anxiety, he missed it. Thus, the Moon Blade chopped the scarecrow's neck.

Soft astonis.h.i.+ng gasps could be heard from the group of young men.

The young men thought, that Fang Zheng had been doing it intentionally. He did not strike the scarecrow's bosom with ease, but aiming for the neck. That this was a strike to display his confidence.

Hence, they couldn't help but antic.i.p.ate his next move.

Gu Yue Mo Bei and Gu Yue Chi Cheng's visages all turned solemn.

In the field, of those being able to discover Fang Zheng's mistake, there were only the schoolhouse's Elder and Fang Yuan.

"How dangerous!" Looking at the Moon Blade, Fang Zheng cried out inside, silently felt lucky.

He kept on gasping, forced himself to stay calm, then released another Moon Blade. This time, he did not make the mistake again. The two Moon Blade all accurately hit the scarecrow's bosom.

Such results made the schoolhouse's Elder satisfyingly nod. Mo Bei and Chi Cheng also calmed down. Fang Zheng's performance was not much different from theirs. Let see how the schoolhouse's Elder decide on the score.

The group of disciples immediately sighed. Fang Zheng's performance was not excellent. They were feeling quite disappointed.

There was also nothing worth seeing in the next few groups. There was no one that could be as good as Mo Bei, Chi Cheng, and Fang Zheng.

The youngsters then started to discuss softly.

"It seems that the one getting the first place in today examination may be one of the three of them."

"The three of them all hit the scarecrow accurately. I wonder who the Elder will value more."

"Wait, in the last group, there is Fang Yuan."

"Ah, he is that grade C 'Cold-hearted Genius'? Haha."

Only until the last group did Fang Yuan casually walk to the platform.

"That's Fang Yuan..." Gu Yue Mo Bei raised his head and took a glance at Fang Yuan. He then lowered his eyes. He could not care less.

"Last time, you got in first place only because you were lucky enough to choose a Moonlight Gu with a weak willpower. Let's see how you will perform this time!" Gu Yue Chi Cheng crossed his hands, waiting to see Fang Yuan becoming a laughing stock.

"Gege... This is different than last time. I have practiced diligently; I will definitely surpa.s.s you." In the crowd, Gu Yue Fang Zheng kept his mouth shut; his hands unconsciously turned into fists.

From the last refining Vitality Gu examination, he had gotten a grade A apt.i.tude, but he only came in second. Of course, he could not accept it.

Especially when he knew that Fang Yuan's reason for s.n.a.t.c.hing the first rank was purely based on luck. This made him even more unconvinced.

To Gu Yue Fang Zheng, being able to win over his gege Fang Yuan had a specific special meaning.

Numerous pairs of eyes were focusing on Fang Yuan. The schoolhouse's Elder was also attentively looking at him.

Fang Yuan did not change his expression but remained with his icy-cold visage.

After he had stopped, fierce Primeval Essence was instantly being poured into the Moonlight Gu in his palm. As he raised his hand up, the first Moon Blade was discharged.

The Moon Blade was flying up high, not only pa.s.sing through the scarecrow's head; it was even higher than the bamboo wall. After flying for fifteen meters, the aureole got dimmer then slowly disappeared into the air.

"Hahaha...." Someone could not help but burst out laughing.

"The slant is too excessive, isn't it?" A person silently snorted.

"He really is a genius. No wonder he got in first place for refining Gu." Another person mockingly said.

In the early years, the fact that Fang Yuan had displayed his talent in writing poetry had made these people feel resentment towards him. After that, he got the first rank for refining Gu based on 'Luck'. This had added up their resentment, and also increased their jealousy.

There were a lot of people who were waiting for a good play, waiting for this "Genius" Fang Yuan to humiliate himself. And Fang Yuan's Moon Blade did not let them down this time.

Sound after sound of sneering arose non-stop in the crowd.

The schoolhouse's Elder slightly shook his head. He laughed at himself inside, why did he even pay attention to Fang Yuan? He was just a grade C apt.i.tude. Getting in first place for refining Gu was just wholly based on luck.

He had soon determined. Although Mo Bei, Chi Cheng, and Fang Zheng had similar results, he would still choose Fang Zheng to be the first rank.

The battle between Gu Yue Mo Bei and Gu Yue Chi Cheng was the miniature of the political fight between the two greatest in power Elders in the clan. The schoolhouse's Elder was on the middle ground. He did not even think about partic.i.p.ating in this political whirlwind.

He was leaning more on the clan's head, Gu Yue Bo. And Fang Zheng would possibly be the next generation clan's head. Moreover, he was a grade A apt.i.tude. Choosing him to be in first place, treating him a bit better, these would help him get the acceptance from the higher authority in the clan.

A warm spring breeze was gusting by, carrying waves after waves of fragrances, floating to the Martial Art Field.

As the sunlight was s.h.i.+ning upon Fang Yuan, a lonely shadow was reflected on the ground.

His countenance was cold as always. Silently looking at the scarecrow over ten meters tall, the Moon Blade imprint in the middle of his palm faintly emitting aqua blue aureole.

The first Moon Blade, of course, he deliberately made it plunge up to the sky. Right now, he only had two more chances. Considering the Elder's standpoint, if he wanted to come in first place, within these two Moon Blades, he had to create exceeding attacking effects that surpa.s.sed everyone.

"There are only two chances left. It's impossible. Gege, I can finally defeat you." Light lit up in Gu Yue Fang Zheng's pupils. Without adverting his eyes, he looked straight at Fang Yuan.

From before until now, gege had casted a shadow over his life. Finally, at this moment, it had now gradually disappeared.

Fang Zheng could feel that victory was almost within his reach. He unconsciously tightened his fists. Excitement struck him, making his body slightly tremble.

"Gege, right now, when I defeat you, this is just the start. Next, I will continue to defeat you, over and over again. Straight until the shadow in my heart has been completely expelled. I want to prove to the clan members that a grade A is truly the great genius!" Fang Zheng spoke to himself.

However, right at that moment, Fang Yuan had acted.

His hand was like a blade, striking down in mid-air.

With a small echo, the dazzling aqua blue light left his hand, flying in mid-air. It slowly turned into a blue Moon Blade, aiming toward that scarecrow.

At the next second, his hand immediately beamed with blue light once again.

As he raised his hand, the third Moon Blade was discharged.

His two continuous strikes were as smooth as flowing water and floating clouds. They were just perfect.

Two Moon Blades in a row, flying in mid-air, they were not even half a meter away from each other.

Under everyone's astonis.h.i.+ng eyes, both Moon Blades accurately hit the target, which was the scarecrow's neck.

"This..." Fang Zheng's pupils drastically shrunk. A bad feeling started to vigorously arise in his heart.

In that moment, the disciples were gasping their mouths in awe.

They looked at the scarecrow's head. At first, it gradually slanted to a side, then fell down following its neck. Lastly, it laid on the ground, rolling off about two to three meters more.

Fang Yuan had beheaded the scarecrow!

Such a result had totally surpa.s.sed everyone's expectation.

"Was this luck, or competency?" The schoolhouse's Elder furrowed his brows.

This doubt also lingered on the rest of the disciples.

In that second, the entire Martial Art Field fell into silence.

"How can it be...." Fang Zheng muttered. He was dumbstruck, looking at Fang Yuan. The expanding feeling inside his heart suddenly deflated, making him fall into an abyss.

Fang Yuan partly opened his eyes, as if he basically could not feel other looks falling on him.

Cr-r-ruck, Cr-r-ruck...

Under the blue sky with white clouds, a flock of colorful parrots suddenly flapped their wings, soaring to the sky. Dragging their phoenix-liked tails, they were gurgling, flying around happily.

Fang Yuan stood in the middle of the field, raising his head facing the sky. Under the sunlight, the colorful feathers looked even more dazzling.

With a faint expression, it looked as if the person who had just beheaded the scarecrow was not him.

"The spring sunlight really is brilliant..." He deeply sighed inside.
