As long as one was not blind, one could see the admiration and adoration Jing Ran had for him.
Jing Ran was only about twenty-five years of age, and was also extremely talented, so her status in the Tian Dao Sect was not low. As for his appearance, there was no need to even mention it. No one knew what sort of charm their father possessed to be able to attract such a woman.
Rao Xu and Shu Long did not use their chopsticks at all. They wore fawning smiles on their faces and continuously toasted Chu Yun.
"Chu Yun, I am very curious, what rank is your Martial Spirit?"
Jing Ran put down her chopsticks, a hint of doubt in her beautiful eyes.
This was a question that had puzzled her for a long time.
Many people had personally witnessed it back then, how Chu Yun's martial spirit, which was only a Yellow Rank Level One, had suddenly increased to Yellow Rank Level Nine yesterday.
Chu Yun knew that he would be questioned about his martial spirit. He had already prepared an explanation: "Before I awakened my martial spirit, I had cultivated a type of cultivation technique that could hide the grade of my martial spirit. In reality, my martial spirit was Yellow Rank Level Nine.
Rao Xu and Shu Yuan were shocked. He was so young, yet he could have such meticulous thoughts. How terrifying!
Chu Tiankuo chuckled: "Jing Ran, now do you know why I assured you so confidently that my son is a genius?"
Jing Ran stared at Chu Yun with mixed emotions as he spoke word by word: "Chu Yun, tell me the truth. Is a Yellow Rank Level Nine really the true rank of your Martial Spirit?"
With that, Jing Ran looked into Chu Yun's eyes, as though she was trying to find anything abnormal in Chu Yun's expression.
Chu Yun was startled, but immediately reacted to it. Jing Ran was obviously testing his, she thought that his own Martial Spirit was of a higher grade.
"How is this possible?"
Chu Yun pretended to be astonished, "A Yellow Rank Level Nine Martial Spirit is already very rare. What was higher? Yellow Rank Level Ten, Profound Grade One? Even the most outstanding genius in the entire Da Xia Empire was only a Xuan level three genius! Aunt Ran, you're overestimating me! "
"Also, if my Martial Spirit grade is more than these, then why should I hide it? The higher the grade of a Martial Spirit, the more attention they would receive in the sect. This is something that I understand! "
Jing Ran frowned slightly. When Chu Yun was speaking earlier, his expression was normal, and he did not reveal anything strange.
Am I wrong?
Chu Yun's martial spirit was so mysterious, it had never been seen before, there waigh chance that it was a mutated martial spirit!
Shaking his head, Jing Ran flung his thoughts out of his mind. How could a mutated martial spirit be so easily found?
"Aunt Ran, when are we leaving for the Tian Dao Sect?"
Jing Ran was an extremely intelligent woman. Chu Yun knew very clearly in his heart that he could not let her continue pondering over it.
"We're leaving tomorrow."
Jing Ran finally heard the way Chu Yun addressed her clearly, and was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Don't call me Aunt Ran, after entering Tian Dao Sect, I'll be your senior sister."
"That is something that happened after we entered the sect. Now, let's call it Aunt Ran. We don't have any conflicts."
As Chu Yun spoke, he blinked at Chu Tiankuo.
Chu Tiankuo's face was completely red, he could not help but scold, "Little bastard."
Jing Ran was clever, she understood Chu Yun's intentions immediately, causing her face to turn even redder.
She cleared her throat and said: "Chu Yun, your Yellow Rank Level Nine Martial Spirit is truly extraordinary. After entering the Tian Dao Sect, the sect will definitely give you special attention. But you better not be arrogant, because there are geniuses from all over the sect, so you must not look down on others! "
"I definitely havlan for this. Don't worry, Aunt Ran."
Chu Yun nodded.
After entering the sect, he had to hide the existence of the supreme battle spirit even more carefully. Otherwise, if he were to be exposed, he would definitely be caught and investigated by the other forces.
After all, everyone wanted to crack the secret that a Martial Spirit could level up.
… ….
The next morning, in front of the Chu family's gate.
Chu Tiankuo held ontandsome horse, passed the reins to Chu Yun and said solemnly: "Yun'er, after entering the Tian Dao Sect, you must remember to cultivate with humility. This is an extremely rare opportunity, you have to take good advantage of it! In the Tian Dao Sect, you will definitely encounter all kinds of challenges from geniuses. I only hope that you can remember one sentence … "
Taking a deep breath, Chu Tiankuo said with a serious expression: "We Chu Family men are born with an arrogant appearance, no matter how strong the enemy is, we will not bend our backs!"
Every word was loud and clear.
Chu Yun's body trembled, then fiercely nodded: "Father, don't worry, I will."
"As for the decision to pass on the position to you, I was indeed too excited at that time and did not consider your feelings. Your martial soul … Hmm, your future is limitless, how can a mere Hong An city like this restrict my son's future? "
The corner of Chu Tiankuo's mouth raised into a smile, his face was full of pride, and his words were filled with boundless bravery.
Martial Spirits that could be upgraded, forget about Hong An city, even in the entire Da Xia Kingdom and the entire central region, there was no one who could compare to it!
In the future, his son would definitely become a dragon amongst men, a talent worthy of being called a Chosen!
Hearing his father's words, Chu Yun's heart surged, he felt a strange power condense in his chest, and do not dissipate for a long time.
He did not waste any words as he transformed all his words into fighting spirit. He took the reins and mounted the horse.
The six horses galloped at the same time, raising a large cloud of dust.
Chu Tiankuo watched Chu Yun's back from beginning to end, until he disappeared into the distant horizon.
Chapter 17 - Provoke before the Sect
Hong An City was located at the border of Da Xia Empire, not far from the Tian Dao Sect outside of Da Xia Empire.
Along the way, Jing Ran kept explaining to Chu Yun about the Tian Dao Sect.
The TaiGan Continenespected the sects, and their sects were as numerous as the stars in the sky.
The hierarchy of the sects were very strict. There were four ranks, lower tier sects, middle tier sects, upper tier sects and Super Large s.
The Tian Dao Sect was the strongest sect in the Da Xia Empire, its overall strength was among the lowest ranked sects, it could be considered as one of the upper tier sects.
To put it bluntly, the so-called kingdom was just the vassal of a few sects. Their status wasn't that high.
On this continent, the ones with the most power were the countless Super Large. All of them were colossal beings that had thousands of years of history, with deep reserves and countless experts. Any random disciple would possess the strength to destroy a kingdom!
"The Tian Dao Sect that countless geniuses are trying to squeeze into, is it actually just a low rank sect?"
Chu Yun sucked in a breath of cold air. Only now did he truly realize just how vast the TaiGan Continent was.
"Only by continuously cultivating and expanding one's horizons will one be able to find out how boundless the world is and how insignificant the number of individuals is. Take the central region of the TaiGan Continent for example, their position in the central region is not even considered a root, let alone the entire TaiGan Continent? "
Jing Ran's face was expressionless. These things, were only found out after they had entered the sect.
The TaiGan Continent was divided into five regions. The Central Region was only one of them, and it was
not the largest one either.
"After entering the Genuine Force, one would have the qualifications to establish a sect.
"Seven years ago, our sect master created the Tian Dao Sect and slowly expanded it to its current state. The sect master herself had also reached the tenth level of her Genuine Force. The moment we break through again, the sect master will be able to lead us to become a mid-tier sect! Furthermore, the Sect Leader is not even thirty years old, she is a famous Heaven's Pride from the Central Region! "
As Jing Ran said till here, her beautiful eyes were filled with boundless worship.
Both Rao Xu and Shu Long had serious expressions. It was obvious that they were also very respectful to the Tian Dao Sect's Sect Leader.
Chu Yun thought. The Tian Dao Sect had only been established seven years ago, and he was already ranked in the upper echelons of the lower sects.
Chu Hongfei and Chu Mo's faces were red and their breathing quickened. Obviously, this was the first time they had received such inculcating knowledge and their hearts were surging with emotions.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. After a long journey, the six of them finally arrived at a vast mountain range in the evening.
This vast mountain range was called the Dragon-Strangling Mountain Range. The spiritual energy here was dense, and it could be considered a blessed location.
Back then, in order to seize this place, the Sect Master of the Tian Dao Sect had to expend quite a bit of effort.
The Tian Dao Sect was situated in the middle of this mountain range that was filled with the rolling waves of trapped dragons.
In the center, there was a soaring mountain, which looked like a sharp spear piercing through the sky.
The surrounding mountains were like vines, twisting and surrounding the central peak, forming an arched posture.
At the entrance of the mountain range was a giant gate cast from copper and iron. Above the gate, the words "Tian Dao Sect" were written in large and vigorous letters.
In front of the mountain gate, many disciples went in and out.
"I presume that at this time, there are already many geniuses from various countries gathering here. "You must remember, there is always someone better than you. You must keep a low profile in the sect!"
Jing Ran instructed the three of them.
Chu Hongfei and Chu Mo both nodded, they knew their own limits.
A Yellow Rank Level 5 martial spirit was not even qualified to enter. If not for Chu Yun, they would never be able to enter the Tian Dao Sect.
Therefore, what Jing Ran had said, was more for Chu Yun to hear.
Chu Yun heard and laughed indifferently, declining to comment.
He had never had a good temper. If someone really caused trouble for him, he would absolutely not show mercy.
Jing Ran dismounted from her horse and led the group towards the mountain gate.
"Yo, isn't this Junior Sister Jing Ran?"
A hoarse voice with obvious ill intentions sounded.
Chu Yun frowned, he turned to look, only to seall and handsome man, with gloomy and cold eyes, giving off an uncomfortable feeling.
He swaggered over and stood in front of the six of them.
Behind him were three youths.
The three youngsters' actions were filled with pride, as if they were looking down on everyone. Their nostrils flared with the desire to raise their heads up to the sky.
After seeing the man, Rao Xu and Shu Qing did not even dare to fart. They quickly lowered their heads and hid behind him.
Jing Ran frowned, her face turning cold: "Su Ying, what do you mean by that?"
"Junior Sister Jing Ran, no one knows what I, Su Ying, think of you. There's no need for you to pretend to be stupid and understand, right?"
The man called Su Ying had an evil smile at the corner of his mouth, without any intention of giving way.
A hint of disgust quickly flashed through Jing Ran's beautiful eyes, but she restrained it as she said coldly, "Su Ying, if you continue to block the way, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Su Ying was not afraid in the slightest. He wore an indifferent smile on his face, shifted his gaze, and recklessly sized up Chu Yun and the other two. He could not help but sneer: "Junior Sister Jing Ran, are you prepared to take this trash back to report?"
Before he finished speaking, Su Ying raised his hand, pointed at Chu Yun and said: "Fourth level of the Mortal Realm, this one is slightly more capable. What are the other two, huh? "It looks like you don't value the sect's assessment at all."
Chu Hongfei and Chu Mo were clearly angry, their faces flushed red, but when they thought of their talent, they helplessly lowered their heads.
Their martial spirits were only at the fifth level of the Yellow Rank and they were only at the second level of the Mortal Realm. Being mocked like this left them with no way out.
Before Jing Ran could open her mouth, Chu Yun smiled lightly and raised his eyebrows: "Senior Brother Su Ying, you're saying that we're trash, then what genius did you attract?"
Su Ying was extremely shocked, he never expected that Chu Yun would actually dare to retort.
However, this was not strange. Every time the Tian Dao Sect recruited disciples, there would be many people who came from all over the place and thought that they were talented, all of them were full of pride and didn't put anyone in their eyes. But not long after entering the Tian Dao Sect, he was completely obedient and obedient.
Su Ying held his hands behind his back, and said proudly: "The three of them, have Yellow Rank Seven martial spirits, and all of them have reached the fourth level of the Mortal Realm!"
As the sound of his voice faded, the three youths puffed up their chests in arrogance.
Su Ying looked at Jing Ran proudly, he wanted to read the emotions such as shock, surprise, admiration and so on from Jing Ran's face.
But he was soon disappointed.
Jing Ran was actually expressionless, without any sort of emotion.
Not only her, even Rao Xu and Shu Long were smiling awkwardly. They wanted to say something, but were too embarrassed to say it out loud.
The three disciples were all Yellow Level Seven. To be able to attract sucalent, it showed that Su Ying did have some tricks up his sleeve.
Normally, Jing Ran would be extremely shocked.
But now.
Chu Hongfei and Chu Mo were only here to make up the numbers.
But Chu Yun was different, he had a Yellow Rank Level 9 martial spirit, his battle prowess was strong, and was a genius that was hard to come across in a hundred years!
After seeing Chu Yun's Inherent skill, with just three Yellow Rank Level 7 martial spirits, it really caused Jing Ran's heart to not be affected in the slightest.
Chu Yun's eyes narrowed, and said indifferently: "Since you're so confident in them, then why not have a fight with them?"
Chapter 18 - 1,000 Qi Gathering Pills
"Are you provoking us, kid!"
Amongst the three of them, the biggest youth grinned and waved his fist. His meaning was very clear.
The other two youths also shook their heads in disdain.
Su Ying's eyes flashed, he suddenly became interested, and laughed: "Junior Sister Jing Ran, the disciple you have recruited, is truly arrogant. Forget it. Today, senior brother will teach him a lesson and tell him what "There'erson beyond a person, a sky beyond a sky".
Although Jing Ran's face was calm, she was overjoyed in her heart. She pretended to be angry and snorted coldly in displeasure, "Chu Yun, if you fight with him, senior sister will beundred Qi Gathering Pills on you winning!"
"A hundred Qi Gathering Pills? Jing Ran, you truly gave muge gift! "
Hearing that, Su Ying was surprised at first, but soon after he smiled.
From his point of view, Jing Ran was obviously flustered and exasperated. She ignored everything and actually shouted out that she wanted to beundred Qi Gathering Pills!
Qi Gathering Pills were t
he most basic cultivation pills for a martial artist. After consuming them, one would be able to increase their spirit energy by a large amount, which the sect would distribute monthly as a cultivation resource.
A core disciple like Jing Ran was able to obtain a hundred Qi Gathering Pills for cultivation every month.
To placundred pills in one go was equivalent to placing a month's worth of cultivation resources into it.
"Ding Meng, go and hang this trash for me to fight!"
Su Ying pointed at Chu Yun with a disdainful expression, then he changed his tone and laughed: "Junior Sister Jing Ran, if you lose, I don't need your Qi Gathering Pill, why don't you come and drink some tea with me?"
"One hundred Qi Gathering Pills just for me to accompany you in tea is laughable. If you take ouhousand, I can consider it! "
Jing Ran laughed in disdain.
"A thousand?"
Su Ying was startled, a thousand of them was about to become a year's worth of cultivation resources, and this was not a small number. Even with his status as a core disciple, if he wanted to take ouhousand pills, it would still take him a long time!
Su Ying was not an idiot, his eyes quickly flashed with suspicion as he began to carefully ponder.
Why was Jing Ran so confident, could it be that there was something special about that brat?
After thinking about it again and again, Su Ying was still unable to think of the reason for her confidence.
Others might not know of Ding Meng's battle prowess, but he knew it very well!
Ding Meng's martial spirit was very special. In addition to his large and powerful feet, his martial spirit could exert a force of several thousand Jin with a wave of his hand. It was very powerful!
Unless one had a strong Martial Spirit, it was impossible for a Martial Disciple of the same realm to be a match for Ding Meng!
This Chu Yun was not tall, was thin, and basically did not have anything worth paying attention to. If it was a bet, he had no reason to lose!
Furthermore, Jing Ran was a woman.
