C19 Sigh
"From the Martial Cultivator of the Heaven Level to establish your palm as a blade, to be able to use your hand as a sword, to cut gold and turn iron into metal, this is nothing difficult. This time, Gu Fann might really have to suffer a bit. " Tantai Jie, who was standing beside Tantai Ao, had a large, black demon draped over his shoulders. He was looking in the direction of the entrance to the study hall.
The group of students waited outside the pavilion, but Gu Fann was nowhere to be seen. They became agitated as they discussed amongst themselves, feeling extremely dissatisfied.
Compared to the impatient Scholar at the foot of the stairs, Xing Aochen, who was sitting in the pavilion, closed his eyes and heard all the sounds. His right hand constantly rubbed against the Dragon Marked Jade Pendant that he was gripping in his hand.
A man nurtures jade. A jade is like a man. A gentleman is like a jade.
Xing Aochen sighed in his heart. This Gu Fann actually didn't come. The longer the time dragged on, the more Scholar would gather. It was inevitable for Gu Fann to lose to him. Initially, he only wanted Gu Fann to give in and let the matter go to waste. Who knew that he would actually be as stubborn as a cow, which was why he was able to force the matter to such an extent?
If he, Gu Fann, lost this time, these nobles, Scholar, did not have any other skills, who wouldn't know how to add insult to injury? In the future, his enemies would be everywhere.
What a pity.
Xing Aochen's eyes slightly opened up and let out a sigh that almost no one could hear.
"He's here, Gu Fann, he's here!" Scholar suddenly pointed forward and shouted.
Xing Aochen instantly opened his eyes and looked at Gu Fann.
Xing Aochen had given Gu Fann the Bone-trembling Sword because he wanted him to be aware of his situation and use his inability to use the Bone-trembling Sword as an excuse to leave. Could it be that he could actually control a Bone-trembling Sword? That's impossible … Even if he wanted to completely subdue the Bone-trembling Sword … In one and a half months, the aura on Gu Fann's body had obviously undergone a great change. At this moment, Gu Fann gave the impression that he was vigorous and reserved like a mountain, unlike before, unruly and wild like a torrent.
When they saw Gu Fann, all of them looked over and focused on him. The entire Windblast Pavilion immediately fell silent, producing an enormous and invisible pressure.
Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!
Gu Fann's footsteps were calm and steady. With so many people watching, his expression was as calm as water without any fluctuations.
"Gu Fann, are you ready for one and a half months?" Xing Aochen slightly opened his eyes and asked Gu Fann who was standing outside the pavilion.
Gu Fann stopped abruptly after hearing it, "Please enlighten me, Prince Aochen!"
The first thing they said when they met was to make their intentions clear. Indeed, these two didn't need to talk much before. However, to directly put conflict on the table was indeed a little inappropriate.
Within the Windblast Pavilion, the expressions of Scholar, the nobles, changed slightly.
Even though he was choked by Gu Fann's words, Xing Aochen's expression did not change much. He stretched out his hand and a Star Rank guard behind him handed over a longsword. From the dazzling gemstone on the sword sheath, one could tell that it was at least a sword.
Outside of the curved circle formed by the noble Scholar, the student who had come closer to watch the commotion was in a much more complicated mood. There were those who knew Gu Fann, and they felt that Gu Fann had changed a lot in just a few short months. He had always attended classes in the same academy. Gu Fann had always kept a low profile and no one had noticed him before.
Although he was the second son of Pingyuan Marquis, everyone had an impression of him as a child of ordinary officials. He was approachable and did not put on any airs.
"Gu Fann, draw your sword." Xing Aochen held the longsword in its sheathed form steadily in his hands and said while holding it horizontally in front of him.
"Yes!" Gu Fann's eyes were cold as he cupped his hands in a symbolic gesture towards Xing Aochen. His left hand gripped the scabbard and pushed it downwards, "Zheng!" The bronze colored sword sheath was as straight as a sharp blade, and in Gu Fann's hands, was astonishingly a broad bladed longsword, the only strange thing was that it was covered densely with dark purple colored patterns, yet it also seemed to be one with the sword body.
"What!" The one who cried out in surprise wasn't Xing Aochen, but Scholar, who was standing at the very front. It was Tantai Jie who was wearing a dark colored big demon.
Another person who was standing outside the crowd also stamped his feet in shock, "What!?" He actually managed to pull out the sword … "Why didn't you listen to me …"
Xing Aochen was experienced and knowledgeable. After a brief moment of surprise, he slowly said: "I never thought that you would actually tame a Bone-trembling Sword, and even used a blood refining method." As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of a few experienced Scholar instantly changed.
Blood Refinement Art! This term was simply too shocking. Blood Refinement was a method of making magic tools that Pingyuan Marquisson possessed. It used one's own blood essence as a medium to establish a connection with magic tools. Although this method could make up for the difference in level, the bigger the gap between the owner and the magic tool, the more dangerous it would be. For this reason, even outer sect Pingyuan Marquisson thought of blood refinement as a way out of fear. This Gu Fann actually... However, at this moment, Tantai Ao had another plan in mind. Even Xing Aochen was certain that the Bone-trembling Sword in Gu Fann' hands had been turned into a blood-refined item. As long as Gu Fann was given the title of colluding with Pingyuan Marquisson, not to mention Gu Fann, even the entire Pingyuan Marquis Mansion would face annihilation.
Thinking about that, a cold light flashed across Tantai Ao's eyes. Gu Fann? Your father, Gu Yun, will not be able to bear the consequences! "
How could Xing Aochen not know that Gu Yun, the great general who guarded the Azure Plains for the Dipper Dynasty, had been sent to prison for colluding with Pingyuan Marquisson, not only to destroy the Great Wall, but also to be laughed out of his wits by the four barbarians and Pingyuan Marquisson. Moreover, as the second son of Pingyuan Marquis, Gu Fann had never left the Tianjing City since childhood. Furthermore, the Tianjing City was located in the capital, and with so many experts overseeing it, it was impossible for outsiders to infiltrate.
Therefore, Xing Aochen continued to say, "But for blood-refined items, it doesn't mean that there is a chance. I can't generalize about it either." These words perfectly blocked Tantai Ao's mouth, as well as the group of people who were prepared to make a fuss about this method of blood refinement and deal with Gu Family.
"Unfortunately, even if you tame my Bone-trembling Sword, you still won't be able to beat me this time …" The aura around Xing Aochen suddenly changed. It was as if there was wind and thunder in the sky. His voice was heavy and powerful.
