Chapter 1706: Submission of Three Freaks
The red, green, and blue freaks transformed into beasts at the same time. Their combat strength increased, bringing their offensive prowess to a terrifying level. The elder paid close attention to Xiang Shaoyun, trying to see just how Xiang Shaoyun was going to contend against the three freaks.
When the attacks of the three freaks landed on Xiang Shaoyun, the elder sighed, "He"s still too young and rash."
He did not think that Xiang Shaoyun would be able to resist the attacks of the three freaks. He believed that this would be the end of Xiang Shaoyun"s bid to become the young guild master.
Suddenly, the weather changed, and a fist appeared out of nowhere. It punched through the attacks of the three freaks, causing them to instantly collapse into nothingness.
Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist!
That was an exceptional fist technique Xiang Shaoyun had learned from Ge Yi. He had achieved full mastery over the technique, and he had opted to use this technique instead of the Three Lives Fist because he wanted to use what his master taught him for his first fight in the Guardians Guild.
The three freaks had not imagined that Xiang Shaoyun would be so strong. They entered their strongest defensive modes as they attempted to resist the punch. Unfortunately for them, the punch was beyond their limits even in their beast forms. All of them were once again sent flying while coughing blood.
By the time the attack ended, the three had crashed heavily into the edge of the ring, stopped by the G.o.d-grade formation"s barrier. Without the formation, they would have been blasted out of the ring.
"You lost," said Xiang Shaoyun indifferently.
If he had not entered the third-stage Rebirth Realm, it would have been much harder for him to defeat the three freaks. After all, they were strong enough to deal with sixth-stage G.o.ds, and just one of them was strong enough to match a fifth-stage G.o.d. Among third-stage G.o.ds, they were considered the cream of the crop.
The elder"s eyeb.a.l.l.s almost popped out of his sockets from shock. He had not expected Xiang Shaoyun to be so strong. He couldn"t help but compare Xiang Shaoyun with the two successors picked by the deputies. "Truly worthy of being Deputy Ge Yi"s successor. He is not lacking even when compared with the successors of the two deputies."
The three freaks seemed to be in a state of shock as well. They had never been defeated so quickly by someone in the same cultivation level, not even when they had fought the two deputies" successors. They were sure that with all things even, Xiang Shaoyun would be much stronger than the two successors.
Unfortunately, things weren"t even; Xiang Shaoyun"s cultivation was still too low. The two successors had reached late-stage Rebirth Realm.
"You"re very strong, but too bad you still won"t be able to become the young guild master," said the red freak with a sigh.
"That"s right. Even if you have defeated us, we still can"t follow you as that would only result in our deaths," said the green freak honestly.
"I think that after agreeing to the bet, we must accept that we have lost. We should follow him. I have a feeling this kid hasn"t even used all his strength," said the blue freak weakly.
Xiang Shaoyun smiled and did not speak to them. Rather, he faced the elder and asked, "Did I pa.s.s?"
The elder nodded. "Yes. Congratulations, Young Master Xiang, for officially becoming a young guild master candidate."
Not many of the young G.o.ds who had arrived could actually become a candidate. After all, the three tests only seemed easy but were actually difficult.
"What do I need to do next?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.
"You only need to wait. When the time comes, the two deputies and the elders will gather all candidates for the final compet.i.tion," said the elder.
"Alright. I"ll go back and wait," said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod.
"You don"t even need to leave. Accommodations have been arranged for you, Young Master Xiang. We will be in charge of your security during the waiting period," the elder hurriedly said.
"Sure," Xiang Shaoyun agreed.
Since the Guardians Guild had decided to appoint a young guild master, they would naturally provide proper protection and accommodation to all the candidates. They wouldn"t allow any mishaps to happen to them.
Xiang Shaoyun followed the elder away, leaving the three freaks standing there blankly. What was going on? Wasn"t he going to recruit them?
"Hey, kid, what is the meaning of this?" asked the red freak.
"Are you looking down on us? I"ll have you know that you can"t kick us away now!" shouted the green freak.
"That"s right. We don"t break our promises! Wait!" shouted the blue freak.
They hurriedly chased after Xiang Shaoyun.
The elder was dumbstruck as he thought, This works?
Everyone in the guild knew that the three freaks were eccentrics. The three freaks were also not known as the kind to honor their words. Thus, it was quite unbelievable that they would just go with Xiang Shaoyun like this.
Soon, Xiang Shaoyun arrived at a place protected by spatial seals. The elder stepped forth and had a short discussion with the two old men stationed there before telling Xiang Shaoyun to take out his token for verification. Only then did they enter.
After going inside with the three freaks, Xiang Shaoyun found that the location looked entirely different from the inside. That was a place filled with bird songs and fragrant flowers. Hills and streams of water dotted the landscape. Kind spirit rabbits, sheep, and so on inhabited the place. It was as though this was a paradise isolated from the world, giving all visitors a sense of extreme comfort.
Delicate housing filled the place, and each house was fitted with a small energy-gathering formation, filling each house with thick astral energy that would be helpful for even G.o.ds. It was obvious how extraordinary these houses were.
Xiang Shaoyun brought the three freaks to his personal house, house number 81, a house located at the remote corner of the housing area.
The red freak complained, "The 81st unit is the worst unit. What were the two old farts thinking? They are obviously bullying us."
"Don"t you know whose men they are? How will they treat our young master well?" said the green freak.
The blue freak said, "It"s fine. We"re already here. Our young master only needs strength. Nothing else matters."
Finally, Xiang Shaoyun faced them and asked, "Are you really willing to follow me?"
"Of course. Us brothers never go back on our words!" said the red freak as he slapped his chest.
The green freak said, "That"s right. Young master, you"re talented and heroic. We naturally have to take this chance to help you become the young guild master and make it big!"
"That"s right. With us here, n.o.body can stop you!" said the blue freak.
"How are you related to my master?" asked Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.
An odd expression covered their faces, as though they had not expected him to s.h.i.+ft the topic so quickly. Moreover, he had asked the most crucial question of all.
"You"re truly wise, Young Master. You were able to so easily see through our relations.h.i.+p with Master," fawned the three freaks.
