The disciples in the outer courtyard, including the disciples in the inner courtyard, were all a little dumbfounded.
The elder took the initiative to accept a disciple, which was an opportunity that could not be obtained even if he asked for it.
Many of the disciples ranked lower in the inner courtyard have no elders willing to accept them as disciples.
However, Elder Gu Tuo took the initiative to accept disciples, but was rejected by Ye Guchen.
In the eyes of everyone, this was not just a rejection, it would also embarrass Elder Gutuo.
As expected, after hearing what Ye Guchen said, Elder Gu Tuo's expression immediately darkened.
Ye Guchen rejected him as an elder in front of so many people, which was undoubtedly a slap in his face.
"Ye Guchen, do you know what you are talking about? This is an opportunity that no one else can ask for. I say it again, are you willing to be my disciple?" Elder Gu Tuo stepped forward, and a vague pressure hit him.
Ye Guchen.
Ye Guchen waited and took two steps back, frowning and saying nothing.
"Senior Brother Ye!" On the side, Mu Xingzhu was also affected by the pressure, his face was pale, but he stayed beside Ye Guchen.
"Gu Tuo, you have gone too far." Elder Qinghe frowned and took the same step to relieve the pressure.
"Ye Guchen, your cultivation is completely useless, but you are still able to trigger the sound of thousands of swords. It really surprises me. It is also your honor for me to accept you as my disciple. How dare you refuse?" Elder Gu Tuo said with anger.
A dark light flashed in Ye Guchen's eyes.
How could he not know that Gu Tuo was from the lineage of the Great Elder?
Now he not only caused thousands of swords to ring in unison, but also took out magic weapons. He naturally became a thorn in the side of the people of the Great Elder's lineage.
The Great Elder was quite critical of Ye Guchen's exclusive use of the Venerable Cave.
Under such circumstances, how could Ye Guchen agree to become Gu Tuo's disciple?
Taking a step back, even if Gu Tuo had no ill intentions, Ye Guchen would not agree.
Because Ye Guchen didn't need anyone's guidance.
"Sorry, thank you Elder Gu Tuo for your kindness, but I, Ye Guchen, know my way of swordsmanship, so I won't trouble the elder." Ye Guchen refused directly.
A group of disciples around this place were whispering and whispering to each other.
Some people admired Ye Guchen's courage, some were regretful and confused, and even some were secretly sarcastic.
"Ye Guchen, you mean that I am not qualified to teach you the way of swordsmanship, right?" Elder Gu Tuo's eyes completely darkened, and his face was filled with frost.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
In the eyes of Elder Gu Tuo, these words represented Ye Guchen's provocation.
Hearing this, Ye Guchen shook his head slightly, not even bothering to explain, and said directly: "If Elder Gu Tuo insists on thinking this way, then so be it."
"Bold, Ye Guchen, do you think you can ignore everyone because you have resonated with Wanjian? You have to know that you are just a useless person who has completely lost your true energy!" Elder Gu Tuo was furious when he heard this and directly
He opened his mouth and scolded.
"Whether I, Ye Guchen, am useless or not, I don't need others to interfere with my path of swordsmanship!" Ye Guchen flicked his sleeves and his eyes became cold.
It was his first time coming to Jianzong Tower Forest, but he didn't want to cause trouble.
But Gu Tuo continued to press him with words again and again, and Ye Guchen no longer needed to put on a good face for him.
"Good boy, you said that your sword skills are already perfect and you don't need anyone else to teach you, right? Then I ask you, do you dare to compete with me?" Elder Gu Tuo pressed.
"What?" As soon as Elder Gu Tuo said these words, everyone around him was stunned.
As an elder, Elder Gutuo actually wants to compete with a disciple who cannot use his true energy?
This is too unfair.
"This..." Mu Xingzhu clenched his pink fists tightly, feeling suffocated in his heart.
"Elder Gu Tuo, why don't you speak clearly?" Ye Guchen said calmly with his hands behind his back.
He did not think that Elder Gu Tuo would demean himself and do such a shameless thing.
"The competition I'm talking about is that we don't need to use our own Qi, nor do we rely on our cultivation level to overwhelm others. We only rely on our own swordsmanship to compete. Aren't you extremely confident in your swordsmanship? Then do you have the guts to compete with me?
A comparison?" Elder Gu Tuo said in an arrogant tone.
"So that's it..." The people around suddenly realized.
What Elder Gu Tuo said was simply a swordsmanship contest and one cannot use one's own cultivation strength.
However, this kind of competition can also best reflect a person's swordsmanship.
There are often such competitions among the disciples of Jian Zong Talin.
But now, the one who wants to compete with Ye Guchen is not a disciple of the same level, but an elder.
"Elder Gu Tuo has been staying in the Sword Sect Tower Forest and has been immersed in the art of swordsmanship for decades, but Ye Guchen is only so young. Even if he started practicing swordsmanship from his mother's womb, it would only be more than ten years. There is no comparison at all."
"Yes, no matter how talented Ye Jianzong is, given his age, if ten years have passed, there may be no problem for him to surpass Elder Gu Tuo in swordsmanship, but now, it's difficult..."
Many disciples whisper secretly.
Although Elder Gutuo said that cultivation realm cannot be used, this kind of competition is still unfair.
"Gu Tuo, you are going too far. The time you have spent practicing swordsmanship is several times Ye Guchen's age. How can this be compared?" Elder Qinghe also frowned.
Gu Tuo ignored Elder Qinghe, but looked directly at Ye Guchen and said, "How about it, Ye Guchen, what do you think? If you are timid, I will take a step back and compete with you with only one hand."
Gu Tuo's tone was calm, and being able to say such words proved that he was extremely confident in his swordsmanship.
Ye Guchen was silent.
Qin Lin'er, who didn't dare to express her anger at the side, finally felt a sense of relief on her face at this moment.
However, she didn't dare to say anything sarcastic, she just said in her heart: "Ye Guchen, you are so proud, now you must be riding a tiger."
Just when Qin Lin'er was thinking this, a smile suddenly appeared on Ye Guchen's face.
He said: "There is no need for one hand. It would be bad if I hurt Elder Gu Tuo."
"What……?"
Many people were confused when they heard Ye Guchen's words, and for a moment they thought their ears had an illusion.
"This..." Even Elder Qinghe, Chu Qingchi and other people who cared about Ye Guchen were a little dull at the moment.
They didn't think Ye Guchen was the kind of person who thought highly of himself, but what he said was too shocking.
His opponent was not a disciple of the same level, but an elder who had been immersed in the art of swordsmanship for decades.
"Okay...Okay, Ye Guchen, I really admire your courage. There will be a competition in the outer courtyard in half a month. I heard that you also have a bet with others, so our competition will be a competition in the outer courtyard.
After that!" When Gu Tuo heard this, he laughed angrily and directly set a date for the fight.
"Okay." Ye Guchen nodded.
"Senior Brother Ye..." On the side, Mu Xingzhu stopped talking.
Although she had great confidence in Ye Guchen, her opponent this time was an elder after all.
Even if you don't use your cultivation strength, it is almost impossible to defeat.
"Ye Guchen, if you lose to me in this competition, I don't want you to lose much. In front of everyone, kneel down to me, kowtow three times, and beg me to accept you as a disciple." Gu Tuo.
Open your mouth and say.
"Okay, then... what if Elder Gu Tuo loses?" Ye Guchen asked.
As soon as he said this, many disciples looked strange.
Will Gutuo Presbyterian lose?
Even though Ye Guchen is a genius in swordsmanship, no one thinks that Gu Tuo will lose. This is not a competition at the same level at all.
"I will lose, ha... Okay, since you said so, I swear here that if I lose, I will also kneel on the ground, kowtow to you three times, and worship you as my teacher, how about that?"
As soon as Gu Tuo's words came out, there was a burst of uproar.
This scene of an elder worshiping his disciple as his teacher has never happened before.
And since Gu Tuo can say such words, he obviously has confidence in this battle. It would be incredible if he, a dignified elder of the inner dean, could not compare to a disciple in the realm of swordsmanship.
Some of the disciples around also shook their heads. This was a fight without any suspense.
"Huh, Ye Guchen, in half a month, I will defeat Mu Xingzhu with my own hands, and Elder Gu Tuo will also defeat you. But under the double blow, I will see how embarrassed you are." Qin Lin'er's face
Although I didn't dare to express anything, my heart was already full of joy, with a kind of gloating about my misfortune.
She was looking forward to how embarrassed Ye Guchen and Mu Xingzhu would be half a month later.
However, at this moment, Ye Guchen also had a faint smile on his lips.
Decades of sword training?
ridiculous……
No matter how high Gu Tuo's swordsmanship is, can it be higher than him, one of the top ten peerless masters in the world and a sword demon who has been wielding swords for forty years in the world? Can he be invincible?
This is simply a matter of showing off in front of the kendo ancestors.
Of course, outsiders will not know Ye Guchen's secret.
They were still sighing and looking at Ye Guchen with sympathetic eyes. Even Elder Qinghe and Chu Qingchi had complicated expressions, obviously not optimistic about Ye Guchen.
"Senior Brother Ye, Xingzhu believes in you." Mu Xingzhu mustered up his courage and stared at Ye Guchen.
"All the results will be revealed in half a month." Ye Guchen said calmly.
