C1 Return of the Great Emperor
Eastern Region, Gu Yue Empire, Blue Wolf Mountain.
Since ancient times, the Psionic Flame Clan had lived in Green Wolf Mountain. After countless years, it had gradually formed a large clan of tens of thousands.
At the edge of the cliff, a middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back.
The young boys and girls who were sitting cross-legged looked at this middle-aged man with respect. He was the teacher responsible for teaching martial arts.
The middle-aged man took a few steps forward as he turned his gaze onto the young girl sitting in the center.
He was very satisfied with this little girl, Li Mingxue. She was only sixteen years old, and already so outstanding.
"Li Mingxue, tell me when you started cultivating."
She was dressed in white, and her facial features were exquisite. Her every frown and smile was like a string that tugged at the hearts of the youths present. Hearing her teacher's nomination, she slowly stood up and smiled, "According to the ancient records of the Psionic Flame Clan, in ancient times, there was a genius with a talent close to a monstrous talent. One day, he observed the movements of the sun and moon. He seemed to have comprehended something and gradually created a new cultivation system. "
Li Mingxue continued, "This senior's name is Tai Hao, and is revered by the world as Great Emperor Tai Hao."
"That's right. Emperor Taihao has experienced many difficulties in his life and was worshipped by the world as a god. He was like an ancient expert lamenting the passing of time. What qualifications do you have to be lazy?" Bai Han's eyes were filled with fanaticism, as if he was a devout believer.
"It seems like it broke through the void and ascended into the upper realms."
"No, someone said that he died of old age due to his short lifespan."
Everyone in the audience was busy discussing.
"Silence."
Following Bai Han's cold shout.
"You all should know about these rumors as well. You should know even more that the most precious thing is time, even if it's us cultivator s, our lifespans are not limitless."
Bai Han strode forward, his gaze stopping on a youth who was about to fall asleep with a piece of grass in his mouth.
"Ling Hao, stand up."
"Ah, are you talking about me?"
The youth called Ling Hao spat out the roots of the grass, and revealed a absent-minded look.
Bai Han sighed in disappointment, feeling that this man was hopeless.
Everyone looked at Ling Hao.
Li Mingxue looked at Ling Hao with a complicated expression before he continued to read his book.
"He lives like a piece of trash. If I were him, he would leave his race and find his own way out, saving himself the embarrassment."
"You can't put it like that. Four years ago, we were both taught by our teachers, and many of our students were all at the Qi Condensation stage. Ling Hao was the first person to do so, and he was even praised by the clan elders."
"He reached the second level of Qi Condensation in three months, which is respected and envied by us. It's a pity that he is still at the second level of Qi Condensation after four years. I don't know if it's because he's lazy or because he's hiding something else."
The Qi Condensation stage that the youths in the training grounds were discussing about was the first step, which was why the cultivator had to communicate with the spirit energy of the heaven and earth, attract the spirit energy in the air to enter their bodies, and train themselves.
Ling Hao revealed his pure white teeth, and laughed: "I'm going to be serious, how can you guys mock me like this?"
Everyone froze for a moment, trying to figure out the meaning behind his words. After that, they all stared at him speechlessly.
[This bastard. Who doesn't know that he has wasted four years of his life?]
"A useless person is even more shameless." Chen Yu smiled faintly, and the disdain in his eyes grew denser.
"That's right, this guy really doesn't know where he got his confidence from. Big Brother Chen Yu didn't even say anything when he reached the eighth level of Qi Condensation."
"Tsk tsk, as expected of a person who uses his mouth to cultivate. The person we are sitting on is not as strong as him."
"There is still another month before the Flame Clan's Grand Examination. Those who enter the encirclement can enter the Flame Clan's Institution, study the Unparalleled cultivation art, and be guided by a Master Teacher. From then on, the future is boundless, and those who do not enter the encirclement will go up the mountain to hunt, do some rough work and be embarrassed for life. "
Bai Han looked at the lazy youth, and he heard the discussion.
How amazing you were when you were twelve years old! Young people are proud of you, but I didn't expect that because of your lazy personality, you would waste all the years and achieve nothing.
"Ling Hao, I will now officially disqualify you from the Flame Clan's competition, and I won't care about what you want to do in the future, but I don't want to lose face. I taught you for four years, and you have been acting foolishly for four years!"
Bai Han said, and immediately continued: "Li Mingxue, you are destined to be a daughter of heaven, you must not have too much contact with him."
With just a few words, it seemed to have determined the quality of Ling Hao's life.
Chen Yu's eyes lit up. This scum, in the past he had Li Mingxue's protection. In the future, who could he be? With how beautiful Li Mingxue was and how talented she was, if she was compatible with this useless person, then that would be the biggest joke in the world.
He had always had a crush on Li Mingxue, but he was unable to expose the relationship between Ling Hao and his childhood sweetheart. Now that her teacher had reminded her not to interact with Ling Hao, Chen Yu felt that the chance had come.
She was also sixteen years old, but at the eighth level of Qi Condensation.
Chen Yu only shot a glance at Ling Hao, and no longer paid any attention to him.
Ling Hao smiled, if he was the same Ling Hao from before, he would not have said those words.
The problem was that he was not, he was the Great Emperor who was worshipped by tens of thousands of creatures!
In his previous life, he had failed to transcend heavenly tribulation, so he was very lucky. His soul escaped the punishment of the Heavenly Dao, and he didn't know how many years his soul had drifted away, actually possessing this youth's body.
"You are in dire straits, and are unable to step into the third level of Qi Condensation. All these years, you have been depressed and frustrated, so feel at ease and leave. I promise you, I will make Ling Hao's name resound throughout the ages!"
Ling Hao felt a little pity for the owner of this body.
He was looking forward to the Psionic Flame Clan's Grand Examination one month from now.
Ling Hao's train of thoughts stopped there and he said: "Instructor, are you sure that I, Ling Hao, cannot pass? I, Ling Hao, am naturally not willing to remove my qualification to train in such a hurry. "
Bai Han said: "Then what do you want to do, people say that when you are three years old, you look after your old age. You are already sixteen, I can predict how you will live your entire life."
"All day long, all day long. "You brought this upon yourself. If you don't work hard, you can't blame others!"
Ling Hao laughed faintly, and said: "Teacher's words are so full of confidence, why not take a gamble? If I am not able to pass after a month, I would willingly enter the service courtyard, and never bring up the matter of cultivation."
He stood with his hands behind his back, and a bright light shone in his eyes.
"If I win, I don't want anything else, as long as you apologize to me."
As the sound of his voice faded, everyone present was stupefied.
Is Ling Hao crazy?
Bai Han looked at him with deep eyes. From this guy's point of view, he seemed very confident of entering the competition, but the minimum requirement for entering the competition was to be at the fifth level of Qi Condensation. Even if you trained hard all day and night, you wouldn't even be able to reach the fifth level of Qi Condensation.
Indeed, he was young and reckless. Bai Han helplessly shook his head.
"Alright, Ling Hao, since you are so confident, I will naturally help you. Just do as you say, I will accept the bet you made."
In less than half a day, everyone in the Psionic Flame Clan knew that Ling Hao, who had not made any progress in the past four years, had set a bet to openly provoke his mentor and the news spread throughout the Psionic Flame Clan like sand in the wind.
The sun was setting, and the sky to the west was black.
Many students packed their belongings and left the mountain.
As the flow of people gradually became sparser, only Li Mingxue and Ling Hao remained on the cliff.
"Brother Hao, do you remember when you were young?"
Li Mingxue looked at the foot of the mountain with melancholy. When she was eight years old, the village had been attacked by bandits, her parents were killed by them, and countless villagers died. In just a year, the village had become deserted.
She stumbled to the foot of the mountain and coincidentally met Ling Hao. That frail and weak body of hers, in her eyes, was really tall and burly. The eight year old Ling Hao carried her on his back and brought her back to Psionic Flame Clan.
From then on, the bottom of her heart was deeply branded with Ling Hao's figure.
However, over these years, she gradually began to feel disappointed. If you had been more diligent, how could you have ended up like this?
Ling Hao said: "I remember."
"It's been eight years. You and I have been together day and night."
After Ling Hao finished speaking, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. This Girl had done a lot for him, but it was a pity that her previous self was not lazy.
Li Mingxue laughed, "However, the ugly duckling from back then has now become a white swan."
As if he had thought of something, Li Mingxue's eyes became blank, and his gaze became sharp like a sword.
"I saw those bandits kill my father and mother with my own eyes. From that time on, I became loveless. I don't want my life to be decided by others. Only by becoming strong can I protect my life.
Li Mingxue clenched his fists.
Ling Hao listened quietly.
The two of them were speechless for a long time.
Only the night wind blew over the cliff.
As Emperor Taihao, he was born in the ancient times. He had experienced all sorts of tricks and had experienced many vicissitudes of life. How could he not know the dangers of this world?
Ling Hao looked at the sky, his gaze like ink.
"Brother Hao, why did you make a bet with Teacher today?"
Even if she already knew the answer, she probably wanted to hear what Ling Hao had to say.
"Because I have confidence."
Li Mingxue looked up and saw that he was still as tall and straight as he was back then, but time had changed everything. You and I are separated by a foreign path, your confidence is just bravado.
