Gu Chen's Excellence in Character and Learning

Main campus.

Xiang Li had only been on the third floor for a short while when his expression suddenly hardened.

He noticed where Mu Fan was.

Mu Fan did not use an illusion array to conceal his figure, but only used an array restriction to separate himself.

Someone else had already entered before me!

He wasn't even number one!

Xiang Li narrowed his eyes as he looked at Mu Fan, and soon his gaze fell on the character "Xia" on the clothes Mu Fan was wearing.

"Xia Clan."

Xiang Li spoke softly.

The Xia Clan, a second-rate power, managed to enter the main courtyard before him.

This was, to be honest, quite unexpected for him.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

They just came in a little faster; it doesn't prove anything.

There's no need to worry about it too much.

What he can do is beyond the reach of these people!

Xiang Li withdrew his gaze and turned to the center of the main courtyard.

The next moment, Xiang Li suddenly stopped in his tracks.

His eyes were fixed intently on one spot.

In the center of the main courtyard, where the legacy of the Myriad Laws Saint Emperor was located, a figure sat cross-legged, clearly trying to comprehend the legacy left behind by the Myriad Laws Saint Emperor.

Someone actually managed to try and comprehend the Saint Emperor's legacy before him!

Xiang Li's eyes as she scrutinized Xiao Ye, seemingly trying to discern his identity.

However, there was nothing about the other person that revealed their identity.

The attempt failed. Xiang Li took a deep look at Xiao Ye and memorized his face.

Then, he walked to the other side of the stone pillar.

In this world, some things cannot be won simply by striking first.

If you can't get it, you just can't get it.

Even if you arrive late, you can still surpass others who came later.

There's no need to worry too much about someone who's just an unknown nobody.

After calming himself down, Xiang Li began to try to comprehend it.

Just as Xiang Li sat down, another figure appeared at the entrance of the main courtyard.

It was none other than Huang Jiuzhao.

"Huang Clan prodigy, huh? It seems his comprehension ability isn't too far off, just a step slower than Xiang Li's."

"Among the descendants of the major powers, based on the known information, the top three have already been determined. Apart from the Xia Clan, the others are not too surprising."

"I wonder which faction will be next, the Church of Light or the Myriad Treasures Pavilion?"

As Huang Jiuzhao entered, the people outside began to discuss among themselves.

"Brother Gu hasn't come in yet?"

After Huang Jiuzhao entered, he looked around.

When Huang Jiuzhao saw Xiao Ye, his gaze lingered briefly:

"I can't see through him either; he must be his disciple."

Huang Jiuzhao's heart stirred slightly.

"As expected, the senior's disciple also came for the inheritance of the Myriad Laws Saint Emperor."

When Huang Jiuzhao saw Mu Fan, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow:

"Xia Clan?"

"Could the previous rumors be true?"

Huang Jiuzhao was somewhat uncertain for a moment.

Several months ago, an astonishing phenomenon of Lightning Tribulation occurred in the Xia Clan's territory. Golden lightning descended from the heavens. It was said that the Xia Clan had produced a junior with unparalleled talent, who was not tolerated by heaven and earth, thus attracting this phenomenon.

Now it seems that this statement is not just a rumor.

Shaking his head, Huang Jiuzhao didn't continue thinking about it.

With limited time in the main academy, he needed to find something that could help him improve his strength as soon as possible.

As for the matter of the Myriad Laws Saint Emperor's inheritance, there's absolutely no need to get involved.

Whether it's doing things or engaging in combat, one should act within one's capabilities and do one's best within those capabilities; that is the proper course of action.

Of course, you also need to consider your own actual needs.

What he practices is not magic, and even if he could obtain it, it wouldn't be suitable for him.

Moreover, the central figure in this matter is the other party's disciple.

"If his disciple can truly obtain the inheritance of the Myriad Laws Saint Emperor, the situation in the world will likely change drastically."

He spoke softly, a hint of curiosity in Huang Jiuzhao's eyes.

According to Brother Gu, the disciple sitting in front of the stone pillar is the most capable and fastest learner among all the disciples.

After taking a few more glances, Huang Jiuzhao also got busy.

At that moment, another figure entered from the third floor.

Its massive size and imposing presence were none other than Lu Yuan.

Following closely behind Lu Yuan were Gu Chen and Luo Ling'er.

The three of them walked in at the same time, immediately causing an uproar among the crowd outside.

"What's going on? Why did they bring their whole family in with them?!"

"Wow, no way, a son and a daughter came in at the same time? This, this, this... Senior Lu is already quite old, yet he can still do it in such a short time. That's a bit terrifying."

"As expected of Senior Lu! Over a thousand years old, generally speaking, one's ability to comprehend and cultivate would decline. I never expected that he could still maintain a leading position for so long. It's incredible! No wonder he was so famous when he was young!"

"His two juniors are quite remarkable; they've already surpassed the prodigies of most powerful forces at this age. Their father and son are both exceptionally talented—it's amazing! When they grow up, won't they be..."

"Wait a minute, I remember Lu Yuan had two sons, why weren't they with him? Is he deliberately hiding his talents?"

While everyone was shocked and moved.

At the location of the Xia Clan, Xia Hai stared intently at Lu Yuan and the other two.

Lu Yuan had four children, but now only two have stayed with him.

Both of them were able to enter in such a short time.

The person who had previously responded to Xiang Ge was nowhere to be seen.

Could it be later?

That's highly unlikely.

That...

Xia Hai thought of the two "Xia Clan descendants" mentioned earlier, and then looked at Lu Yuan's figure, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

When did their Xia Clan offend this Saint Emperor?

On the other side.

Xiang Clan.

Xiang Ge withdrew his gaze from Xia Hai.

Xia Hai had similar guesses.

But if that's really the case...

Xiang Ge took a deep breath, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

After that battle, Lu Yuan should have been secretly dealt with; otherwise, things wouldn't be in this situation now.

I underestimated him at the time. I never expected that Lu Yuan, a mere Rogue Cultivator, could actually reach this point and remain so determined.

Now, killing the Saint Emperor is even more difficult!

Xiang Ge's gaze fell on the center of the main courtyard, while Xiang Li made no attempt to conceal himself.

Currently, only if Xiang Li obtains the inheritance of the Myriad Laws Saint Emperor and uses it to influence the Academy can this unfavorable situation be reversed.

"Master?"

Gu Chen's telepathic message woke Lu Changzhi from his daze.

"It's finally here."

Lu Changzhi looked around and noticed that Xiang Li had also entered, so he said:

Why is it so slow?

He's drunk quite a bit of Dao Comprehension Tea and eaten quite a bit of Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves Egg; this shouldn't be the case.

Gu Chen glanced at Lu Yuan beside him and transmitted his voice:

"Master, Senior Lu seems a bit shaken, so I didn't rush in."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi understood and gave Gu Chen an approving look.

Protecting the self-esteem of the elderly is a way of respecting them, and Gu Chen is excellent in both character and academics, which is commendable.

Then, Lu Changzhi looked at Lu Yuan and said:

"Senior, please protect my disciple and prevent some people from interfering with him through underhanded means."

After speaking, Lu Changzhi gestured to Xiao Ye.

"Good."

Lu Yuan nodded.

Anyway, there wasn't much he could comprehend when he came in.

"And you, you'll participate too..."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan noticed the Observing Chair where Lu Changzhi was lying and abruptly stopped himself from saying anything more.

His intuition told him that the other person had simply changed their sleeping location.

Sure enough, Lu Changzhi shook his head and said:

I'm going to go back and take a bath.

Lu Yuan: "..."

After explaining a few things, Lu Changzhi had a sudden thought.

He possessed the skill of External Avatar Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell.

The avatar came in and lay down, while the real body went outside to the street and headed towards its residence.

Xiao Ye's comprehension will not end anytime soon; he will return when it is almost finished.
