C48 Guidance

Wu Hui and Wu Di were about to leave together. Wu Hua seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed slightly. He called out: "Wu Hui, wait a moment."

Wu Hui stopped, turned around with a calm expression. Anger in his eyes flashed. He smirked and said: "Wu Hua, you still want one of Wu Di's pills?"

Hearing the ill intent in Wu Hui's voice, Wu Hua frowned slightly. On his round face, he squeezed out a smile again and said: "Hehe, Wu Hui, you took me wrong. I was making a deal with Wu Di - a pill in exchange of my guidance on his cultivation. This is something we both can agree on, instead of him being forced to give out his pill. If you do not believe me, you can ask Wu Qing. Wu Qing was willing to give me a pill in exchange for my guidance."

"Humph!" Wu Hui did not look at Wu Qing. Instead, he looked at Wu Zejun with disdain in his eyes. He saw it clearly from outside the crowd. He knew that Wu Zejun was afraid of Wu Hua so he asked Wu Qing to give up one of his pills. “If it's a voluntary deal, of course there’s no problem. But if someone is forced into the deal, then I will be the first against it." His voice was sonorous and powerful.

Wu Hui's words spread across the entire training field. Wu Qing, who was initially cowering behind Wu Zejun, suddenly became determined when he heard Wu Hui's words. He left Wu Zejun's back and ran in the direction of Wu Hui.

"Brother Wu Hui, I'm forced as well." A clear and tender voice rang out.

"Wu Qing, where are you going?” Wu Zejun's expression changed. He felt a bit of a burning sensation on his face. Wu Qing was someone sheltered by him, yet he was now running over to Wu Hui.

Wu Qing stopped, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his young and tender face. However, when he saw Wu Di confidently and happily following behind Wu Hui, Wu Qing's expression became resolute. He decided not to pay attention to Wu Zejun anymore. Wu Qing quickly walked to the front of him and greeted: "Brother Wu Hui, I am also forced to give up my pill. With the Bone Tempering Pill and the Qi Gathering Pill, I have the confidence to break through to Six-star of Yellow Grade and become an outstanding disciple within this year." A rare trace of determination could be seen on Wu Qing's originally helpless face.

As Wu Hui saw the young man standing in front of him, his face broke into a smile. With a satisfied look in his eyes, he slowly nodded his head and said, "Not bad. It requires confidence and drive to forge ahead in one’s cultivation. I was right to add your name onto the list.”

Hearing Wu Hui's praise, Wu Qing's young and immature face was filled with joy.

"Wait. Wu Qing, are you saying that you are not giving me that pill in exchange for my guidance in your cultivation? " Wu Hua's face turned gloomy, his eyes filled with anger. He glared fiercely at Wu Qing who was hiding behind Wu Hui, and spoke with an anger hidden in his voice.

"Humph!" Wu Hui coldly snorted, stepped forward, and blocked Wu Hua's gaze. “He won't bother you anymore. I'll guide them from time to time." After acquiring the Five Elements Arts, Wu Hui had a much clearer understanding of the Martial qi. He became increasingly adept in harnessing the Martial Qi and this was also the reason why Wu Hui was extremely fast in acquiring martial skills.

Wu Hui's words caused everyone around to be astonished. Wu Hua laughed even louder, and his eyes revealed ridicule.

"Haha… Wu Hui, am I hearing you right? Didn’t you just get rid of the title ‘trash’? How dare you to to talk big and even guide others in cultivation? Or you want to teach them how to become a piece of trash who would not advance for seven years?" Wu Hua's words made some of those around to let out a few low laughs. But most of them still tried to maintain serious and hold the laughs in. After all, Wu Hui's status was different from before - he had the right to give out pills. They could not afford to offend him. As for Wu Hua, due to the fact that he was disqualified from the list, he held a grudge against him. In Wu Hua's opinion, Wu Hui only had this one chance to distribute the pills, so he dared to ridicule Wu Hui unrestrainedly.

Wu Hui slightly narrowed his eyes, the hidden rage behind his calm expression was like a tide. A layer of red light appeared on his palm.

Wu Zejun frowned, he knew Wu Hui's identity and the reason why the clan valued him so highly. Honestly speaking, Wu Zejun also did not want to provoke Wu Hui, but it was just because he was afraid of Wu Hui's identity as a pill master, not of his cultivation. It’s not a big deal to defeat Wu Kai. He himself could easily defeat Wu Kai as well.

Seeing the confrontation between Wu Hui and Wu Hua, Wu Zejun walked out and arrived in front of Wu Hui. The arrogance on his face did not decrease much, "Wu Hui, leave Wu Qing's matter alone. With Wu Hua's guidance, his cultivation will increase very quickly."

Hearing Wu Zejun's words, Wu Qing pulled on Wu Hui's sleeves. His eyes appeared to be worried.

"Hehe, Wu Qing, don't worry. I've said that I will guide you in your cultivation. No one will be able to take away the pill that belongs to you." Wu Hui comforted Wu Qing softly and turned to Wu Zejun. His gaze turned glum and he said coldly: "Wu Zejun, you should know the importance of pills. If you wish, how about you give me one pill and then I will guide you."

As soon as Wu Hui finished his sentence, the surrounding disciples immediately burst into discussions.

"Haha, I didn't hear him wrong, right? Wu Hui wanted to guide Wu Zejun? How ridiculous! "

"You foolish brat, didn’t you get the ridicule in Wu Hui's words? Wu Zejun has bullied Wu Hui quite a few times in the past. Now that he has gained power, he will naturally take revenge. Even if his cultivation is not as high as Wu Zejun, verbally he still wants to take advantage of him.”

...

"Shh, don't let Wu Hui hear us. We'll just watch from the side. I wonder if Wu Zejun will be able to stand the humiliation and take action."

...

The disciples who were spectating on the side were excited. Some of them who knew of Wu Hui's grudge with Wu Zejun appeared curious judged by the weird glow in their eyes. They wanted to know, now that Wu Hui had gained power, would Wu Zejun dare to humiliate Wu Hui like he did in the past?

Hearing Wu Hui's undisguised ridicule, the originally proud face of Wu Zejun immediately darkened. The anger in his eyes was like a volcanic eruption. When had someone like him, who was a favored child of the Wu Family, been ridiculed in such a manner? Furthermore, it was from someone whom he treated as trash in the past, which was nearly unbearable for Wu Zejun.

"Wu Hui, don't think that you are... so you are above me. I am the genius of the Wu Family, the strongest amongst my peers. On the list of outstanding disciples, I am ranked the first." There was already a trace of malevolence on Wu Zejun's face.

"Bulletin board?" Wu Hui looked at the bulletin board in the distance, the corners of his mouth curving into a smile. From a distance, the names on the bulletin board could not be seen clearly. Only those two which were painted black were extremely conspicuous.

As Wu Zeyu said that he was the No.1 on the bulletin board, a prideful look emerged on his face. However, when his gaze fell upon the two names painted black on the board, his heart thumped, and his expression became unsightly. Only then did he remember that Wu Hui had the right to decide on the distribution of pills.

"Hehe, being No.1 on the bulletin board is fine. But I'm afraid it is not true that your strength is the strongest amongst your peers." Wu Hui chuckled. Under his calm expression, his heart burned with the desire to fight. He dared to fight head to head with Wu Hua who was at Seven-star of Profound Grade the other day when he was only at One-star of Profound Grade. Now he was at the peak stage of Two-star and would break through to the next level any moment. Wu Hui felt extremely confident facing Wu Zejun who was only at Five-star of Profound Grade.

Thinking of this, the surrounding crowd seemed to come to a sudden realization. It was no wonder why the clan would suddenly pay so much attention to Wu Hui after he broke through to the Profound Grade. Being able to trigger the fire attribute was originally a sign of a lucky genius. And Wu Hui, this lucky genius, had used his own true strength to become a true genius of the Wu Family.

"What did you say? Among the disciples under the age of fifteen in the clan, who is stronger than me? " Hearing the disdain in Wu Hui's tone, Wu Zejun could no longer hold it in, and went into a rage as his furious roar echoed throughout the entire training field.

"Hehe, Wu Zejun, don’t you understand? If Wu Hui says he can guide you, of course he's better than you.” Wu Hua, who was at the side, had a ridiculing smile on his round face. But, the gaze he looked at Wu Hui contained a trace of resentment.

Wu Zejun's expression was startled, and the look in his eyes became somewhat hazy. He was naturally able to understand such an obvious provocation in Wu Hua’s words. However, no matter intentionally or unintentionally, Wu Hui did have said that he could guide him, which was a blatant humiliation towards Wu Zejun.

"Wu Hui, since you’ve said that you can guide me, I would like to see what you have." Wu Zejun forcefully suppressed the anger as he clenched his fists. A powerful aura surged out from his body.

Looking at the malevolent Wu Zejun, Wu Hui's expression was actually as calm as water. He indifferently said: "It’s fine if you want me to guide you, but give me one of your pills."

"You…" Wu Zejun's eyes widened, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed. “Wu Hui, no matter what identity you have today, I will teach you a lesson anyhow. You, a piece of trash, who hasn't advanced in cultivation for seven years, how dare you to humiliate me? Do you really think that you can change your life with only luck in this world where strength rules? Today, let me show you what a true genius is." The aura in Wu Zejun’s body just exploded out, which covered the whole place with its formidable might.

"Peak stage of Five-star, only a step to the Six-star. He is really fast in advancing his cultivation.”

The moment the aura from Wu Zejun's body exploded forth, everyone had already sensed that his cultivation had reached the break-through point at Five-star of Profound Grade. Simply speaking, he was now a step away to the ranks of Six-star.

Wu Hui's gaze focused, and he had no choice but to admit in his heart that Wu Zejun truly lived up to the name of being a genius. Currently, Wu Zejun was only fifteen years old, and was about to reach the Six-star. He had a high chance of breaking through to the Earth Grade before the age of twenty, and to the Heaven Grade before the age of thirty. Then it all seemed destined that he would become an Innate Expert someday.

It reminded Wu Hui of Su Qingxue and his heart immediately became heavy. Even a genius like Wu Zejun could not be compared with Su Qingxue. She reached the peak of Profound Grade at the age of fourteen. It probably would just take a few years for her to break through to the Heaven Grade. The enormous Qing Yun Sect had put all its efforts to nurture her and therefore, breaking through to the level of Innate Expert, which was extremely difficult to others, was not that hard for Su Qingxue.

As he thought about Su Qingxue, Wu Hui's heart surged with a sort of heroic pride. “So what if it was Su Qingxue or the Qing Yun Sect, he had the body of five elements, a gift first ever appeared in a human in the history. Plus, with his super martial skill - the Five Elements Arts, if he was still not as powerful as Su Qingxue, who was even one year younger than him, he would be better to just continue living as a piece of trash like the past.
