18 Cultivation examination

Their expressions varied, some were happy while others were upset.

The worst result was naturally rank 1 initial stage, all being the D grade talents.

A large number of the students were rank 1 middle stage, and little of them were B grade, mostly C grades."Gu Yue Chi Cheng." The middle-aged female Gu Master called.

From the group, the shortest Gu Yue Chi Cheng puffed his chest and walked out.

After checking, the female Gu Master opened her eyes, "Gu Yue Chi Cheng, rank 1 peak stage!"

Up till now, this was the first rank 1 peak stage Gu Master.

The clan elders present turned their heads.

Some elders recognized, saying lightly, "This is Chi Lian's grandson, having B grade talent, no wonder."

Outside the tent, the youngsters also commented."Chi Cheng is rank 1 peak stage, I wonder if Mo Bei is too? They are rivals after all."

"Being able to advance to peak stage, they are all A and B grades. Sigh, we C and D grades encounter bitterness that cannot be envied."

"Hmph!" Gu Yue Mo Bei snorted, seeing Chi Cheng's proud expression, he was annoyed.

Gu Yue Fang Zheng sneered, then moving his condescending gaze full of confidence towards Fang Yuan who was standing near the back of the group leaning against the wall with an uninterested expression on his face.

"Gu Yue Mo Bei." Soon, the examiner called.

The horse-faced Mo Bei quickly walked out.

"Gu Yue Mo Bei, rank 1 peak stage."

With this declaration, he walked back and stared defiantly at Gu Yue Chi Cheng when returning while staring hatefully and challengingly at Fang Zheng then Fang Yuan with much more intensity.

The examination continued, and the snow in the sky became smaller until it vanished.

"Gu Yue Fang Zheng." The female Gu Master said.

"The A grade talent?"

The clan elders focused their attention to Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng walked out from the crowd, he could feel the pressure that these gazes were bringing him, causing him to become slightly nervous but he still kept up his confident appearance.

But when he saw the clan leader Gu Yue Bo's smile, the nervousness in his heart melted allowing his gait to become more natural.

He walked in front of the female Gu Master.

She shut her eyes, and then abruptly opened her eyes, saying in shock, "Gu Yue Fang Zheng, cultivation level, rank 2 initial stage!"

Boom.

The youngsters erupted into a wave of discussions.

"What, he reached rank 2?!"

"As expected of the A grade talent genius."

"Incredible, he left Mo Bei, Chi Cheng in the dust."

"This Fang Zheng!"

At once, Mo Bei and Chi Cheng stared at Fang Zheng in shock.

"Hehehe, so you didn't exceed my expectations." Fang Yuan's eyelids drooped down as he laughed.

"He is an A grade talent and the number 1 genius after all."

"The hope of our clan."

"This is the credit of clan leader's nurturing..."

The clan elders praised.

At once, Fang Zheng became the center of attention.

Half a year ago, Gu Yue Bo gave him a Jade Skin Gu and asked him to be the first person to advance to rank 2. He did it!

"Clan leader, I did not disappoint you, I did it! From now on, I will achieve, even more, getting the approval of the clan elders and the people around me. Brother, I've left you behind, you are no longer the shadow in my heart. I, Gu Yue Fang Zheng, am no longer the one from back then! And I will continue to grow and make you regret what you have done!"

Fang Zheng yelled in his heart

The cold chilly air was rather refreshing.

"Gu Yue Fang Yuan."

The next female Gu Master called at last. Fang Yuan walked up expressionlessly.

Soon after, she opened her eyes, looking at Fang Yuan in an equal amount of shock as the previous female Gu master, before declaring, "Gu Yue Fang Yuan, rank 2 initial stage!"

"rank 2 initial stage, did I hear wrongly? Fang Yuan also cultivated to this level?"

The youngsters were shocked then calmed down remembering who Fang Yuan was.

"A grade talent after all."

"The one that has the highest recorded talent on all history of our clan sigh."

"Even when he slacks off and doesn't put much attention to class he still leaves everyone in the dust and keeps up with his hardworking brother, why are the heavens so unfair"

At once, Fang Yuan became the new center of attention.

The next day

The sun was bright after the snow passed.

Gu Masters streamed into the academy in the morning."The annual year end exam has begun again. Hehehe, I wonder if the scene I saw from more than a decade ago when I graduated will be seen again." A middle-aged Gu Master with long green hair cascading down his back stood outside the academy, reminiscing."Leader, get in, you love reminiscing." The young female Gu Master beside him had blood red lips, her hands placed in the pockets of her pants. There was a blade of grass in her mouth, and she rolled her eyes.

"Hehehe, Yao Hong, don't rush. We have to get in anyway. Since the clan leader had arranged it already, our new members have been decided long ago."

The green haired Gu Master laughed."The A grade talent Fang Zhengor Fang Yuan?" The female Gu Master Gu Yue Yao Hong tutted in her mouth, saying unhappily, "The clan leader has already chosen Fang Zheng and don't ask why not Fang yuan it's better to keep our mouths closed okay but his idea is to get us to babysit him, geez what a drag!"
