#584 - Competing for people
Yun Shu slowly said, "Those willing to fully join the Heavenly Martial Academy and become internal disciples, step forward."
As her voice fell, of the one hundred and ninety-five talented martial artists who had passed the test, a large majority immediately stood out, a full one hundred and twenty-three people.
The remaining talented martial artists were mostly from some top sect forces, only intending to come to the Heavenly Martial Academy for further study, or to gain prestige, so they could return to inherit their own sect forces.
There were also a small number who were geniuses cultivated with great difficulty by some small and medium-sized sects, coming to the Heavenly Martial Academy to pursue a better cultivation environment and guidance from Heavenly God Realm experts.
After their cultivation was successful, they would still choose to return to their original sects.
"Very good!"
Yun Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, and her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, quite excited.
Because Su Chen and the four Qing Ling girls, as well as Gu Changsheng, Yue Chan, Ye Yunfei, and other top geniuses, had all chosen to fully join the Heavenly Martial Academy and become internal disciples!
With so many young supreme talents joining the Heavenly Martial Academy at the same time, the Heavenly Martial Academy was bound to take off!
"Boy, are you willing to become my disciple?"
Just as Su Chen and his group took a step forward, almost at the same time, a figure appeared like a ghost, staring at Su Chen with burning eyes.
His appearance was too sudden, and even Yun Shu was taken aback.
It was an old man with disheveled hair, his hair gray and messy, like a chicken coop.
He was dressed sloppily, looking like he hadn't been washed for a long time, and at first glance, one would have thought he was an old beggar.
But when Yun Shu saw the old man appear, a look of respect appeared in her eyes.
Without a doubt, this old man had an extremely high status in the Heavenly Martial Academy!
"Senior Brother, you are already old, why not go back and cultivate in peace? Leave the trivial matter of teaching the younger generation to me."
A hearty voice rang out.
In the sky above, a brilliant rainbow light lit up from the depths of the Heavenly Martial Academy, instantly descending on the floating island, transforming into a man in white.
He looked to be about thirty years old, with a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament, with a smile on his face that made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, and couldn't help but feel affection.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Gu Yongyuan, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Martial Academy, with some achievements in swordsmanship. If you young friends are willing, you can become my disciples."
Gu Yongyuan's gaze fell on Su Chen, Gu Changsheng, and the other top geniuses.
Only these few peerless geniuses could alarm him and personally come out to recruit them.
"Grand Elder of the Heavenly Martial Academy... Hiss! Could it be that you are the White-Clad Sword God!?"
As soon as the name "Gu Yongyuan" came out, many talented martial artists showed shocked and excited expressions, their eyes widened a bit, with a hint of fanaticism.
There was no other reason than that the White-Clad Sword God was too famous, his reputation spread far and wide, like a brilliant star rising!
Gu Yongyuan rose to prominence five thousand years ago. It was rumored that when he was born, there were thousands of auspicious omens, and he was blessed by the heavens, possessing a congenital sword body, and was a natural sword dao supreme.
Gu Yongyuan's talent was extremely astonishing. Since he began cultivating, his martial arts path advanced by leaps and bounds. He only used a thousand years to step into the Heavenly God Realm. From childhood to adulthood, he swept away all opponents, without a single defeat!
Gu Yongyuan even used only three thousand years to cultivate to the ninth level of the Heavenly God Realm, a speed that was rare in the world!
In particular, Gu Yongyuan's attainments in swordsmanship were extremely astonishing, reaching the point of perfection, known as the strongest sword cultivator below the God King Realm, and was respected by the world as the White-Clad Sword God.
Compared to the old monsters of the same realm, Gu Yongyuan was terrifyingly young and still had great potential!
Many old experts speculated that Gu Yongyuan was very likely to step into the God King Realm before the age of ten thousand, becoming a true Sword God!
Moreover, Gu Yongyuan is now the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Martial Academy, a real power figure, with an extremely noble status, and even a true God King would have to give him some face!
At this time, Gu Yongyuan personally appeared to accept disciples, which made a group of talented martial artists excited, wishing they could get in front of him, hoping to become his disciples.
It was a pity that Gu Yongyuan's gaze only looked at Su Chen, Gu Changsheng, Yue Chan, and Ye Yunfei from beginning to end.
Gu Changsheng, Yue Chan, and Ye Yunfei were all sword dao geniuses, and young supreme beings, which suited Gu Yongyuan's taste very well.
As for Su Chen.
It was purely because he was too strong, that kind of crushing, terrifying talent and combat power, could be called unprecedented and unmatched, even those God King powerhouses were far inferior when they were young!
Who wouldn't want such a heaven-defying, peerless monster?
Therefore, even though Su Chen mainly cultivated in the saber technique instead of the sword technique, Gu Yongyuan also wanted to take him as his disciple.
"Although Gu Shizhi's swordsmanship is indeed very strong, it is limited to swordsmanship."
"I am the Dean of the Dao Institute of the Heavenly Martial Academy, and I am best at the way of supernatural powers and laws. How about you become my disciple?"
As a light laughter sounded, a woman wearing a Daoist robe appeared, looking about twenty-eight or nine years old, walking gracefully, her fiery eyes staring at Su Chen, unable to help but lick her lips.
During the assessment process, Su Chen showed extremely amazing attainments in the laws, which made her exclaim, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him!
"He mainly cultivates the saber technique, I think it is more suitable to become my disciple!"
Before the Daoist robe woman could finish her words, a rough and cold voice sounded.
...
In an instant, a full eight old monsters appeared. Their status was extremely high, and they usually never paid attention to the affairs of the Heavenly Martial Academy, but at this time, they all appeared together, just to snatch geniuses.
Their main target of contention was naturally Su Chen. No matter which one it was, they all wanted to win Su Chen over to their side!
Secondly, it was Gu Changsheng, Yue Chan, and Ye Yunfei, the three young supreme beings.
Nan Yin and Xin Yan, as well as the other few geniuses with similar talents and strengths, also received solicitations.
Although they were slightly inferior to Gu Changsheng, Yue Chan, and Ye Yunfei, the three young supreme beings, they were also amazing enough to be worth their solicitation.
This scene also made the elders of the Heavenly Martial Academy behind them smile bitterly, and they slowed down their steps in unison, not coming over.
They didn't dare to snatch disciples from these old monsters.
Of course, the main reason was that they couldn't win...
