Inside the great hall on Starry Peak.
When Hall Master Beichen singled out Gu Chenfeng to stay, the other six island masters were all startled, but none dared linger. They obediently withdrew from the hall.
Left alone, Gu Chenfeng felt a little uneasy.
Could this Hall Master have noticed something?
But his greatest secret, the Phantom Martial Divine Ruins, was hidden extremely deeply.
Even the Dragon Emperor had failed to discover it back then. There was no way Beichen could detect it.
At that moment, Gu Chenfeng also noticed his master, Mu Chen, standing beside Beichen, casting him a gentle, reassuring look.
His heart immediately steadied, and he stepped forward to bow respectfully.
"May I ask what instructions you have for me, Hall Master?"
Star Venerable Beichen looked Gu Chenfeng over once more and slowly nodded.
"As expected of a rare Dual-System Martial Artist practicing internal and external cultivation. Your Law Power is truly pure, and your blood qi vast!
"Though your cultivation has yet to reach the Half-Step Source Venerable Realm, your combat strength already surpasses that of the vast majority of experts in that realm.
"Even your Primordial Spirit seems considerably stronger than those of martial artists at the same realm.
"It seems your talent is indeed exceptional. Sword-Walking Venerable has taken in a fine disciple."
At these words, Gu Chenfeng's heart gave a heavy thump.
This Hall Master's discernment was extraordinary indeed. A single glance had revealed his approximate cultivation and strength.
Fortunately, he had still failed to see through his Five Elements laws.
Naturally, he had not discovered the Azure Dragon Origin wrapped in those Five Elements laws inside his Dantian either.
"You flatter me, Hall Master. Only through the repeated protection of my master and Star Luo Hall has this disciple attained his modest achievements."
