Fortunately, this is the most crucial, sacred, and important coming-of-age ceremony for the Gu Clan, so many powerful members of the Gu Clan, although they wanted to beat Xiao Tian, refrained from doing so.
Xiao Tian was still feeling unsatisfied, only regretting that it was just too damn exciting. Many cold and even murderous gazes came at him, making his blood boil and his whole body go wild. If only a fight had broken out.
The Gu Clan Elder held a strange golden pen, his movements fluid and unpredictable, leaving endless afterimages. Profound runes were deeply imprinted on Ling Feng's brow, accompanied by surging golden light and strange energy fluctuations. Many powerful figures watching this scene were shocked to discover that Ling Feng had become even stronger.
" Brother Tian, do you still remember this Lingfeng?"
Xiao Tian shook his head. Why should he remember someone he had beaten up?
" Brother Tian, although Ling Feng isn't much of a threat, that Asura Commander Gu Yao who almost got into a fight with you before is not someone to be trifled with. His bloodline level was already seventh rank last year. If there are any major changes this year, according to the Elders' Council, he might be able to obtain the second-tier purple-gold level Clan Mark. Clan Mark can cause one's bloodline power to surge while simultaneously increasing one's cultivation level. Brother Tian, you must be careful," Xun'er explained softly via telepathy.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian chuckled and said, "Girl, his bloodline isn't as strong as yours, is it? Since it isn't, there's no need to worry."
Xun'er couldn't help but roll her eyes, speechless at Xiao Tian's confidence, yet also a little expectant.
As each of the Gu Clan's prodigies passed the procedural tests and was bestowed with Clan Mark matching their bloodline level, the majestic and expectant voice of the Gu Clan Elder resounded, causing over 90% of the Gu Clan and even the invited experts from outside the region to be invigorated.
"Next! Gu Yao!"
As Four Great Commanders the Black Annihilation Army, the Asura Gu Yao was a terrifying prodigy whom the Gu Clan had painstakingly cultivated. At this moment, Gu Yao's expression was neither happy nor sad. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he slowly walked to the Gu Clan Elder and gently touched the star plate with his large hand.
As stars lit up one by one on the astrolabe, eight stars appeared in succession.
" Gu Yao, Asura the Black Annihilation Army's Asura Commander, Peak Dou Zun, Eighth-Tier bloodline! Granted with the Purple-Gold Clan Mark!"
The Gu Yao who obtained the Clan Mark immediately turned extremely cold, searching through the crowd and quickly spotting Xiao Tian.
"Elder, during the coming-of-age ceremony, shouldn't I be qualified to challenge anyone at will?" Gu Yao stared at Xiao Tian with undisguised iciness.
The elders exchanged glances, and one of them said authoritatively, "You may challenge any member of our clan, but if you wish to challenge an invited member of another clan, you must obtain their consent."
Gu Yao's lips curled into a smile as she stared at Xiao Tian, her tone icy and sharp. " Xiao Tian, do you still intend to hide behind Xun'er this time? If you refuse, you are not worthy to be with Xun'er!"
Many people looked on with mocking expressions, and for a moment, Xiao Tian became the center of attention.
At this moment, Xiao Tian coughed, waved to the people looking at him like a leader, and smiled, "Greetings, everyone. This Gu Yao is not calm at all, he's impulsive and rash. I've wanted to temper him for a long time, so be it. Then please keep your eyes open and don't let some old guys from the Gu Clan cheat."
"Hahaha! Kid, don't worry, if that old man from the Gu Clan tries to cheat or bully the students of my Garan Academy, I'll be the first to stop him!" A loud laugh rang out, and a bolt of lightning flashed in the sky, revealing a disheveled old man.
