Chapter 1055 - Ji Wu
“It’s Yao Tian!”
“That’s the nine-colored deer! It’s so cool!”
A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd.
Many people looked at Yao Tian admiringly.
Yao Tian was one of the three eternal monsters of the First Continent. He was famous, and many young people idolized him.
Yao Tian and nine-colored deer descended from the sky and landed on a rock beside the mountain gates. He smiled and waved at the crowd.
“How pretentious!”
Tang Hao muttered. Then, his gaze landed on the nine-colored deer.
“That must be delicious!”
His eyes sparkled.
After a while, another ray of light came from the sky. It was a golden war chariot that emitted dazzling golden light. It was like a miniature sun.
When the war chariot came close, one could see a young man sitting on it. His expression was cold and stern, and he looked like he was looking for a fight,
That person was Jiang Tianwu.
He stood up, looked down at the tens of thousands of people below, and shouted, “All of you, listen to me. That Qin guy is mine. No one can touch him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd quietened down.
Then, there was a burst of exclamations.
Everyone turned around and sized up the people around them.
“Is that Qin guy here?”
“I don’t know! I think he’s here. The mountain gates are about to open! There are too many people. We don’t know where he is!”
The people discussed animatedly.
“Tch!”
Some people, mostly the Path-Chosen, treated Jiang Tianwu’s warning with contempt.
They had prepared for so long just for that Qin guy. They were not going to give up their chance to Jiang Tianwu.
“Sigh! Pardon me, Brother Jiang, but I’m interested in that kid too! I can’t give him to you!’
Yao Tian said with a smile.
However, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
“Hmph! You want to fight with me?” Jiang Tianwu said coldly.
Yao Tian maintained his smile and said, “Other people might be afraid of you, but I’m not! Perhaps we should fight first? Whoever wins gets to claim the kid for himself!”
Jiang Tianwu sneered and said, “I’m not in the mood to fight with you now. After I deal with that kid, you’ll be next!”
The two of them glared at each other from afar with hostility.
In the crowd, Tang Hao rolled his eyes.
Those two guys were too cocky as if they were going to defeat him for sure.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time before they sheathed their qi auras, which made everyone disappointed.
A moment later, a dragon’s roar was heard in the sky.
Everyone raised their heads and saw the clouds swirling in the sky. A scarlet streak of light was shuttling through the sea of clouds.
“It’s Ji Wu!”
The crowd exclaimed.
Ji Wu was the number one prodigy of the First Continent. He was incredibly talented and lucky, and he was considered to be heaven’s chosen.
“That’s the scarlet flood dragon. Rumor has it that when he was seven years old, he went to a street stall to find a bargain. He only spent a few crystals to buy an ancient flood dragon egg. It even hatched and recognized him as its master!”
“Damn! That’s incredibly lucky!”
“Ha! There’s more to it than that. That guy could trip and fall while walking and find a supreme treasure. When he’s sitting in his own house, something fell from the sky and landed in front of him.”
“What the hell? Where’s the justice?”
The crowd was filled with curses.
They were all envious of Ji Wu.
Jiang Tianwu, Yao Tian, and the Path-Chosen’s facial muscles twitched. Their expressions became extremely unsightly.
Ji Wu was simply a freak!
“He’s the true cheater!”
Yao Tian said with a bitter smile.
He was considered luckier than the average person, but he was nothing compared to Ji Wu.
The scarlet flood dragon roared and swooped down. They could see a figure standing on its head. He was wearing a treasure coat that shone with divine light.
The treasure coat was as thin as the wings of a cicada, and it gently fluttered in the wind.
His head of black hair unfurled in the wind, revealing the vertical eye on his forehead.
The vertical eye was slightly closed, emitting a terrifying qi aura.
There were other treasures on his body. He wore several rings on his hands, a pair of jade bracelets on his wrists, and a pair of green earrings with two snakes circling his ears.
There was also a jade token that shone with treasure light on his waist.
Even his hairpin was a treasure.
The flood dragon descended from the sky, and the treasure light that emanated from him was as brilliant as the full moon.
In front of the mountain gates was a deathly silence. Everyone was dumbstruck.
That was too shocking!
He wore a treasure coat and rode a flood dragon. That was like the demigods from ancient times!
Tang Hao’s mouth was also wide open as he watched that figure descend from the sky.
He knew that Ji Wu was an amazing person, but he did not expect him to be so amazing.
He looked at him for a long time, then lowered his head and looked at himself. His facial muscles twitched.
Ji Wu landed and waved his hand. An ancient token flew out, emitting a burst of light that shone on the scarlet flood dragon.
The scarlet flood dragon roared softly and was sucked into the ancient token.
Ji Wu pinned the ancient token to his waist. He stood in front of the gates and waited.
The people in the crowd whispered to each other and looked at Ji Wu.
Fifteen minutes later, a bell rang from the mountain in front of them.
“The hour has arrived. Open the mountain gates!”
A loud voice came from the mountain.
Following that, the clouds that enveloped the mountain gates gradually dispersed, revealing the true mountain gates.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several figures descended from the mountain path. The person in the lead was the elder who had appeared in the Void Realm earlier.
“By the orders of the Mountain Lord, Ancient Sage Mountain has opened its gates. Anyone who meets the requirements will be allowed to enter and study the techniques of the Path! The time limit is half a month. How much you can gain will depend on your own luck.
“Remember, once you enter, you must abide by the rules of the Ancient Sage Mountain. First, you must not make any excessive noise. Second, you must not engage in private fights. Once you violate the rules, you will be immediately expelled from the mountain and not allowed to enter again.
“Those two rules cannot be violated by anyone, no matter who they are! Do you hear me clearly?”
As he spoke, the elder looked at his surroundings sternly.
“Yes!”
Everyone replied in unison.
“Good! You may enter the mountain, one by one!”
At that moment, the crowd began to jostle, wanting to be the first to enter and grab a good seat.
Ji Wu was the first to enter, followed by Yao Tian and Jiang Tianwu.
After that was the Path-Chosen.
“Hmph! This time, I’ll comprehend the techniques of the Path, kill that Qin guy, and become a Void-Chosen!”
Duan Shaolong was amid the crowd, clenching his fists excitedly.
“Qin fellow, if you dare appear in front of me, I won’t let you off!”
Princess Feng was also there.
After those people entered, it was everyone else’s turn to go in.
The elders of Ancient Sage Mountain dragged several people from among the crowd and tossed them away. They were all over the age limit.
Tang Hao followed the crowd up the mountain path and arrived halfway up the mountain.
The crowd walked along a twisting mountain path before seeing five grand halls appear in front of them.
Each of the halls hosted a Shard of the Path.
Tang Hao looked left and right before walking toward the hall on the far left.
