Chapter 67 - Dream TheoryPingyang City, Central Plaza!
"Yes, of course!" After receiving Yu Haoran"s reply, Chu Zhongyu, who had finally woken up, replied in pleasant surprise.
However, as an expert at the peak of the Wu Zong, Chu Zhongyu, who had experienced countless amounts of tempering, still maintained a trace of clarity despite being pleasantly surprised.
Thus, after forcefully controlling the joy in his heart, he asked with a solemn expression, "Why?"
Why?
Based on the potential that you, Yu Haoran, have revealed, for the stunning performance in the Challenge Compet.i.tion, it"s possible that you could even join one of the seven supreme sects. Why would you be interested in the second-rate sect?
Regarding the reason why he had to join the Hundred Feet Gate, Yu Haoran had already thought of a countermeasure, so he spoke with a tone filled with lament.
"Dream!"
"Dream!" After saying that again, Chu Zhongyu couldn"t help but frown.
Seeing Chu Zhongyu"s frown, Yu Haoran explained in detail, "Senior, the words that follow might make you feel that it"s absurd and laughable, but every word I say is true."
"On the day before I partic.i.p.ated in the sect selection compet.i.tion, I had a dream. In my dream, I would successfully pa.s.s the selection compet.i.tion, and then I would become a disciple of"s Qing Yunfeng, and become his disciple."
"How, how, how is this possible?" Hearing Yu Haoran talk about his own dream, Chu Zhongyu couldn"t help but take two steps back in fear, his face full of shock.
Not only was Wuwei Sword King Feng Qingyun the Peak Master of Hundred Feet Gate, he was also an expert in the Martial King and was also his teacher.
However, Chu Zhongyu was very clear that, not to mention his teacher Feng Qingyun, who was not very famous in the Profound Sky Continent, and had no desire or request, he was even more of a nameless cultivator.
No action, no desire, no action!
Forget the fact that the people of the world did not know who the Wuwei Sword King was, even in Hundred Feet Gate, other than the higher-ups of the sects, very few people knew who the Wuwei Sword King Feng Qingyun was.
As for Yu Haoran!
Although he did not inquire about Yu Haoran"s background in detail, but after experiencing the potential test just now and the conflicts during the Challenge Compet.i.tion, he could roughly guess some of Yu Haoran"s general situation.
It was simply impossible for a disciple of a clan that was born in the Pingyang City to understand the Hundred Feet Gate before turning sixteen this year, and it was even more impossible for him to know that Wu You was the Sword King, Feng Qingyun.
Therefore, although the reason in Yu Haoran"s dream just now seemed absurd, it was actually quite reasonable.
"Senior, the other sects have already chosen their disciples. Would senior agree to this junior"s request?"
With regards to whether or not Chu Zhongyu would believe in the reason that seemed preposterous, Yu Haoran was very confident in his heart.
If the experience from his previous life was like a dream, then the dream theory he had just now was true.
Moreover, he remembered all the information regarding his master Feng Qingyun, as well as Qing Yunfeng"s family. He could use some small matters that he did not know of to further increase the credibility of this reason.
However, the experts from the second-rate sect s in the compet.i.tion arena had already started to return to the sect area, leaving only Chu Zhongyu, himself and another partic.i.p.ant there.
"Oh!" Chu Zhongyu responded as he looked around him. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and agreed.
"Yu Haoran, regardless of whether what you said was true or false, with your potential and apt.i.tude, being able to choose our Hundred Feet Gate is the sect"s honor, so I, on behalf of the sect, agree to your request of taking me as your disciple."
After saying that, Chu Zhongyu glanced at the seven experts on the stage, and said with a slightly embarra.s.sed expression.
"However, our Hundred Feet Gate cannot compare to those top and first-rate sects and can"t give you too much treatment. Furthermore, my position in the sect is average, and I similarly can"t give you too much of a promise."
"The only thing I can do is that if you become a disciple of the Hundred Feet Gate, you can directly become an inner sect disciple and also enjoy the treatment of being an elite disciple."
"At the same time, you don"t need to spend your sect"s contribution points to use the spirit caves and secret realms three times for free."
"Senior, joining the Hundred Feet Gate as a disciple under is just following junior"s heart. Maybe it"s because I"m following the heavens" law, and as for the status and treatment of disciples, junior does not care."
Hearing the promise that Chu Zhongyu gave, Yu Haoran was very touched.
He knew very well about Chu Zhongyu"s situation. He knew that, with his position and power in the Hundred Feet Gate, he could at most only give the members of the sect the status of inner disciples, as well as the opportunity to use the spirit cave and secret realm for free.
As for the treatment for elite disciples, as well as the free usage of spirit caves and secret realms, it was probably part of his original treatment.
This was Chu Zhongyu, this was Qing Yunfeng"s eldest senior brother, one who was willing to give up all of his loyal disciples for the prosperity and inheritances of his sect.
His actions might cause others to be moved, but Yu Haoran disagreed with his actions. This was because the fierce compet.i.tion within the Hundred Feet Gate, a sect where everyone was selfish and unscrupulous, was not worth him giving so much.
Most importantly, Yu Haoran knew that Senior Brother Chu"s talent and potential was very outstanding. It was only for the sake of cultivating better with his fellow disciples.
In this life, he would do his best to prevent himself from repeating the same tragedy as in his previous life. He would do his best to help his senior brothers grow stronger, then use them as support to deal with situations where everyone was likely to become enemies.
"Yu Haoran, since you are willing to become my Hundred Feet Gate"s disciple, then follow the Ranking Compet.i.tion"s rules, you cannot continue partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion!"
Seeing that Yu Haoran did not care about the status and treatment of his disciples, aside from being gratified, Chu Zhongyu considered his own situation and kindly reminded him.
After all, through the five rounds of compet.i.tion that Yu Haoran had partic.i.p.ated in, the result of the compet.i.tion was that four compet.i.tors died a horrible death.
It was obvious from this that he did not have a harmonious relationship with his own family, nor with the other forces in the city where his family resided.
Chu Zhongyu was worried that he would continue partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion and continue using the compet.i.tion rules to get rid of his enemies. Doing so would break the compet.i.tion rules and cause the seven experts on the stage to be unhappy, so Chu Zhongyu reminded him in good will.
"I know!" Nodding, Yu Haoran expressed his understanding.
Actually, he didn"t want to continue his challenge either.
Because among the remaining contestants, there was either enmity or the possibility of causing a violent change in their emotions and causing them to loosen up for the third time.
They were either too weak and didn"t need to fight at all.
The only person who was able to take action, Wu Zhengjun, still needed to be under certain circ.u.mstances before his special physique could be activated, so giving up the following compet.i.tion was exactly what he wanted.
"That"s good!" Seeing that Yu Haoran was willing to give up the compet.i.tion, Chu Zhongyu could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Geniuses, especially absolute geniuses, they were all people with extreme arrogance. They were used to using themselves as the center, and were rarely persuaded by others, so Chu Zhongyu was worried that Yu Haoran also had the arrogance of a genius.
But seeing from what he had done just now, he was someone who could listen to his advice. This made Chu Zhongyu feel deeply gratified, but at the same time, he couldn"t help but look forward to it in his heart.
