Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win the battle.

Zhang Wenbin was one of the three strongest among the younger generation of the inner sect. Fang Yuan still showed full respect for him and began to ask Wan Qian for more detailed information.

“I haven’t fought with him before, and I’m not sure about the specifics.”

Wan Qian said softly, “Actually, Zhang Wenbin is probably the strongest in this generation of disciples. I shouldn’t be able to last more than five moves against him.”

Fang Yuan nodded. Wan Qian was unable to break through because of the cold poison. With her Foundation Establishment Stage strength, she would definitely not have the slightest chance of winning against someone at the third layer of the Enlightenment Realm.

With his current strength, if Wan Qian were to fight against him again, he reckoned that she would lose in one move.

Even so, she was still hailed as one of the three strongest. It could be seen just how powerful Wan Qian’s talent and strength were.

However, this could not be used as a standard to measure the difference in strength between Zhang Wenbin and him.

After all, the abilities he possessed were too powerful. Whether it was Bloodthirsty or his liquid spiritual essence, they were all skills that greatly increased the lethality of his attacks.

Under the suppression of his cultivation realm, Wan Qian could not withstand it.

However, for Zhang Wenbin, who was in a higher cultivation realm, there was no way those skills alone could play a decisive role.

Fang Yuan thought for a moment and made a request.

“Senior, wait for me to nourish my Yang essence, and I’ll come to you for dual cultivation?”

The frost on Wan Qian’s face instantly melted and was covered by a blush.

“What... what are you talking about... It’s already so late, why are you still thinking about this...”

“Do you still remember the purple Qi that I showed you before? I found some information about it. It can let Gu worms enter a state of epiphany. During this period of time, if you want to quickly increase your strength, you’ll have to rely on it.”

Fang Yuan explained, “And didn’t you give me a dual cultivation method book? I cannot waste it.”

“Then... then why are you looking for me, aren’t others the same...”

Wan Qian replied uneasily. These words were too easy for people to imagine.

“Senior, you have the cold poison, how are you the same as others?”

Fang Yuan saw Wan Qian’s expression change, and he smiled. “Besides, other than you, I don’t have any female cultivators in the Gu Immortal Sect that I can befriend.”

Wan Qian’s mouth opened slightly and slowly closed, she did not know what to say but did not say it.

“Can we?”

After waiting for a long time, Wan Qian almost tore the hem of her dress, before she replied softly.

“Mm...”

“Ah? Senior, what did you say?” Fang Yuan asked despite knowing the answer.

Wan Qian glared at him, then she stood up and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

She looked at Fang Yuan’s handsome face and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she said, “When... when the time comes and I’m not willing, don’t force me...”

“Dual cultivation?”

“No...”

“Then what is it?”

It was Fang Yuan’s turn to be confused.

He was about to ask, but Wan Qian took the initiative to cover his mouth.

“Don’t ask. I... I’m leaving. You should cultivate well and don’t think too much. Don’t be distracted by other things.”

The blush on her face intensified, and she no longer looked at Fang Yuan. She turned her head and left where there was fewer people around.

Fang Yuan thought for a while and suddenly understood.

“So you’re worried about that.”

He chuckled twice, shook his head and did not think further.

He had settled things with Wan Qian for now, and the next thing to do was to go to the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm to find the Sunlight Gu, then dual cultivate with Wan Qian to increase their strength, and then fight with Zhang Wenbin on the Life and Death Arena.

“I forgot to ask Senior whether Zhang Wenbin is the only son in his family.”

Fang Yuan held his chin and pondered.

If he was the only son, killing him would definitely result in endless revenge from the Zhang clan.

But if he was not, killing him openly on the sect’s Life and Death Arena after being challenged by Zhang Wenbin himself, the Zhang clan could only endure it.

Fang Yuan himself was not afraid of revenge. He was only worried about his family members.

“I still have to become stronger.”

If he was strong enough, he could easily deal with Zhang Wenbin and the Zhang family.

At this moment, the crowd in front of them stirred.

“Everyone, quickly sit down. The elder is here.”

“Wow, Second Elder is here. Could it be that he has taken a fancy to a disciple?”

“Oh my god, First Elder is here too. Is the quality of the outer sect competition’s top disciples so high that even these two are alarmed?”

“Eh? They are both sitting on the two sides of the main seat. Is there anyone else coming?”

“Could it be that the sect master is going to personally attend this Dao seeking trial?”

“You must be joking. The sect master is such a mighty figure. What kind of monstrous genius would be able to catch his eye?”

“Could it be Fang Yuan?”

“Him? He only broke two outer sect competition records. What’s so great about it, have you heard of his deeds?”

“That’s true.”

...

The group of disciples whispered, they were very surprised at the appearance of the First Elder and Second Elder.

The disciples who had stayed in the Gu Immortal Sect for a long time knew that the last time they had come to the Dao seeking trial was more than ten years ago.

Over these years, the Fourth Elder had been in charge of all sorts of matters.

This appearance had already greatly exceeded everyone’s imagination.

Countless people were fantasizing whether they would be the lucky one who was chosen by one of the two elders, not to mention fantasizing about the possibility of the sect master Gu Zhenren appearing.

At once, the crowd was filled with excitement and anticipation.

Fang Yuan also looked over.

If Gu Zhenren appeared, it meant that he had acknowledged him.

At that time, his status would rise. If Zhang Wenbin wanted to do something to his family, he would have to think twice.

A few breaths later, along with the rumbling of thunder, a wisp of smoke suddenly rose from the main seat.

A human figure appeared. When the smoke dispersed, Gu Zhenren’s tall figure, dressed in green robes, sat upright on the main seat.

He looked amiable, but his entire body exuded a supreme dignity.

The examiner beside him held a piece of paper and respectfully stepped forward, as if asking something.

Gu Zhenren held it in his hand and looked at it. Then, he waved it toward the square, and the piece of paper was instantly activated by spiritual essence. It split into countless pieces of paper and floated into the examination hall.

Then, it landed in the middle of the table in front of each disciple, without the slightest deviation.

Everyone was shocked.

Many people could use their spiritual essence to duplicate ordinary items, from tables, chairs, and stools to brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

But this precise control of spiritual essence was something they would never be able to learn in this lifetime.

Seeing the immense skill, Gu Zhenren’s strength became unfathomable in the hearts of many disciples.

“Announce.”

Gu Zhenren’s voice was like a loud bell. Without the help of any Gu worms, his voice spread throughout the entire square.

The examiners at the side immediately went forward and began to announce the name list.

“Inner sect disciple Fang Yuan, has entered the sect for ten years, is extremely talented and hardworking, eligible to become the sect master, First Elder or Second Elder’s personal disciple.”

“Outer sect disciple Hong Yuan, has entered the sect for eighteen years, is resolute and has made countless contributions, eligible to become the Fifth Elder or Eighth Elder’s personal disciple.”

“Outer sect disciple Yun Yue, has been in the sect for three years, is talented and has a stable mind, eligible to become the Sixth Elder’s personal disciple.”

“Inner sect disciple....”
