Chapter 25: This Disciple is Extraordinary

Seeing Chu Yang suddenly become so serious, Tan Tan, though somewhat puzzled by what he meant, still nodded in a daze...

Chu Yang smiled slightly, lifted Shi Qianshan with Tan Tan, and walked through the door.

Shi Qianshan was still unconscious... completely unaware of what happened later. He would not know that after this battle, he had already become famous among the disciples of Tianwailou.

After Liu Yunyan and the others returned, they immediately spread the news: Shi Qianshan was a hidden expert, a formidable opponent for the top ten disciples of this generation!

If Chu Yang, as a junior disciple, could defeat Qu Ping, then what about Shi Qianshan, his senior disciple?

After seeing Qu Ping's injuries, the dozens of eighth-generation disciples who were eyeing the top ten positions immediately listed Shi Qianshan as an absolute threat.

Prevent fire, prevent theft, prevent Shi Qianshan—three things to be wary of.

Shi Qianshan, in his unconscious state, could never have imagined that he had become a big figure in Tianwailou in a daze. This shows that nothing is absolute, and a person's rise to fame is full of coincidences. One never knows when they might become famous...

Chu Yang's sharp intuition had already sensed that someone was watching this scene in the bamboo grove. Although he did not know who it was, he was certain it was a high-ranking member of Tianwailou.

His master, Meng Chaoran, was definitely there, and he was just one of them!

Therefore, Chu Yang deliberately said those cryptic words to Tan Tan. The meaning of these words naturally warned Tan Tan, but to the ears of those three people, they had a different meaning.

Tianwailou cannot be sustained by these useless people. But I, Chu Yang, can!

Since he had decided to seize the position of the top disciple to enter the Seven Yin Gathering Place and obtain the Nine Tribulations Sword, every word and action must be known by the higher-ups.

Otherwise, he would end up like in his previous life, only obtaining it four years later when Tianwailou was destroyed. What would be the point then?

Since he had entered the high-ranking officials' field of vision in a grand manner, it was impossible to remain low-key. It was better to openly declare: To revitalize Tianwailou and protect the sect, who else but me?

Arrogant? Yes, this time I will be arrogant! So what?

Chu Yang and Tan Tan had been inside for a long time before the bamboo grove slowly stirred. In the sea of purple, three figures miraculously appeared, each with a thoughtful look in their eyes.

Chu Yang's last few words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

Meng Chaoran moved silently to the two people, smiling and said, "Elder Brother, Seventh Elder Brother, coming to the Purple Bamboo Garden so low-key really surprised me."

One of these two people was the sect leader of Tianwailou, Wu Yunliang; the other was the master of Mengyun Peak, one of the nine peaks, Kong Jingfeng! However, Kong Jingfeng's face was still pale, and there was a transparent hole in his crotch, making the master of Mengyun Peak have to clench his legs, looking somewhat awkward...

"The ones who should be surprised are us," Wu Yunliang snorted, "Little Junior Brother, it's fine for you to be low-key, but to train such a talented disciple without telling me? I almost had a heart attack from your disciple just now!"

Kong Jingfeng nodded vigorously, greatly agreeing with Wu Yunliang's words, adding, "Especially me, I was scared out of my wits."

This sentence carried a hint of resentment...

Chu Yang's performance just now, in every aspect, was enough to surprise these two experts of Tianwailou, even shock them!

The graceful and agile steps of the Jinghong Yunxue Step, the elusive and deadly sword strike, the calm handling, and the keen sense of timing, all made these two influential figures in Tianwailou marvel to the extreme!

Both of them asked themselves, if they were in the same situation as Chu Yang with the same level of power, they would not be able to handle it as effortlessly as Chu Yang!

Meng Chaoran's disciple is extraordinary!

Meng Chaoran smiled bitterly and said, "You two just almost had a heart attack, but I almost lost all my teeth. Look, my eyes are red from rubbing, but I still can't believe that such a prodigy appeared in my sect..."

He flipped his eyelids, looking very depressed.

Wu Yunliang and Kong Jingfeng both laughed, then Kong Jingfeng suddenly realized what Meng Chaoran meant, "You mean... your disciple's skills weren't taught by you?"

Meng Chaoran rolled his eyes, wanting to deny it, but finally sighed in resignation, "I taught all these, but even I... probably couldn't..."

The two were greatly shocked.

Since he had taught all these, but others couldn't master them while Chu Yang did, there was only one explanation: talent! Unmatched talent!

Wu Yunliang had thought Meng Chaoran had mastered the true cultivation method of the Jinghong Yunxue Step, and was overjoyed. Hearing Meng Chaoran's words, he was stunned for a long time before stammering, "Could it be that the Jinghong Yunxue Step..."

Meng Chaoran nodded straightforwardly, "I couldn't master it either!"

Wu Yunliang and Kong Jingfeng were both stunned!

"Could it be self-taught?" Wu Yunliang stroked his beard, almost pulling out a strand.

"I don't know," Meng Chaoran sighed, "But my disciple is extremely intelligent, so it's possible he self-taught it."

The two were simultaneously shocked speechless. Meng Chaoran shrugged, making a helpless expression.

The three of them were usually very serious in front of the disciples, but in private, they were quite relaxed.

"Regardless, these three disciples of yours..." Wu Yunliang pondered for a moment, then said, "One of them is truly an outstanding talent."

He smiled bitterly, "With this kid's cultivation, he wouldn't have noticed me watching, but his last few words were clearly directed at me. I still can't understand why."

"It's a genius, but also a waste," Meng Chaoran's expression was very strange.

He did not like Shi Qianshan's way of doing things, but that did not mean he disliked Shi Qianshan as a person. In Meng Chaoran's heart, he still had some hope for Shi Qianshan.

A fair and square victory is a victory, but a victory through deceit and trickery is also a victory. The difference is just the process.

Shi Qianshan might be able to walk a path of intrigue in the world of martial arts?

But today, Shi Qianshan could have fought, but he was afraid and let himself be beaten without fighting back, which finally made Meng Chaoran lose the last bit of hope he had for him.

A hero can be low-key, but a coward will never become strong!

"Waste? You mean Shi Qianshan?" A hint of disdain flashed in Wu Yunliang's eyes, and he smiled ambiguously. It was clear that Shi Qianshan had a very bad impression in the eyes of the sect leader of Tianwailou.

Meng Chaoran sighed slightly.

"Tianwailou has nine peaks and one garden, with nearly eight hundred disciples. Which sect doesn't have a few unworthy disciples? Little Junior Brother, there's no need to dwell on it. After the waves of time, true talents will always stand out. Mediocrity or waste... will all turn to dust."

Wu Yunliang's gaze was deep, and he slowly said, "To have Chu Yang as a disciple is enough to make up for all regrets. Your second disciple, Chu Yang, is ruthless, decisive, and meticulous. Most importantly, he can argue his way out of any situation with confidence and authority... truly a rare talent, not simple at all."

Kong Jingfeng nodded deeply, agreeing. Today, the two of them came together, partly to see how Li Jinsong's disciples would act, but the main purpose was to see the small pit that tripped Li Jianyin. They also wanted to calculate the position and confirm whether Tianwailou had really produced such a genius with exceptional mind and skills.

After hearing Wu Qianqian's report, they had already suspected that Chu Yang was the one who had pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger; otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen? But for an eighth-generation disciple to have such keen insight and rich experience still made them somewhat skeptical.

So they came to investigate.

But after seeing Chu Yang deal with Qu Ping today, they both understood: there was no need to investigate further. It was definitely him. This guy named Chu Yang is definitely a dangerous person!

Tianwailou is currently facing internal and external troubles, and it desperately needs talent, especially young talent. Therefore, Wu Yunliang placed great importance on Chu Yang.

And what Chu Yang wanted was this kind of recognition! Otherwise, why would he go to such great lengths?
