Many students on the Shanhe List dispersed and walked towards their own residences, all with expressions of sadness on their faces.
This trip to the Huanggan ruins was really exciting. First, Gu Xuan made a splash and set the highest record for the ruins, with 190,000 treasure points. Then there was the confrontation between Zhao Mayi and Luo Yi. The most worthy of their sighs was, It’s still Gu Xuan’s arrogance.
Gu Xuan actually put down his words and asked Luo Yi to clean his mouth. This is really amazing. Although doing so vents his anger, the cost is not small. If Gu Xuan cannot defeat Luo Yi in a month, this insult will probably be Luo Yi will return it to Gu Xuan.
And Luo Yi's strength, as proven today, is far beyond the peak of Xuan level and extremely close to Zun level! No one will believe that a new student will have the ability to defeat Luo Yi.
"Junior Brother Gu."
Gu Xuan was walking, but Zhao Mayi caught up with him, with a smile on his face: "Junior Brother Gu, don't you mind if I go with you."
Gu Xuan also smiled: "I'm afraid no one will refuse to be able to establish a relationship with Senior Brother Zhao, who is number one on the Mountain and River Ranking."
Zhao Mayi glanced at Gu Xuan and suddenly exhaled: "Those are just ordinary people. I can feel that although Junior Brother Gu said so, he actually doesn't care about me, and even everyone on the Shanhe List , can’t make Junior Brother Gu care.”
Gu Xuan's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Zhao Mayi strangely: "Senior Brother Zhao is joking."
Seeing Gu Xuan's expression, Zhao Mayi obviously confirmed her guess, and smiled knowingly: "Although you said that, you just don't want to lose my face, just cover it up. In fact, the so-called mountain and river list, the first Senior Brother Zhao, you don't take him seriously at all. I have been observing you since you entered the school, and you are definitely not an ordinary genius."
"Maybe." Gu Xuan's expression froze, and then he shook his head in a self-deprecating manner.
"But..." Zhao Mayi frowned slightly: "Although Junior Brother Gu is not ordinary, and his future achievements may be beyond the reach of those of us, but after all, you don't have the strength now, and a certain degree of forbearance is still necessary, just For example, if Luo Yi wanted to attack you just now, you could just argue with him, or report it to the school and directly conflict with him, which would cause you a lot of trouble."
"With Senior Brother Zhao's help, he still dares to touch me?" Gu Xuan had a look of amusement on his face.
"Junior Brother Gu, you think too highly of me." Zhao Mayi shook her head, "My strength is only slightly stronger than his. When he dealt with you, he violated the rules of the school. With my interference, he was able to I will give up, but the Tianyuan Competition is a school organization and I cannot interfere with it. He can definitely use the opportunity to deal with you."
"I know." Gu Xuan nodded.
"So Junior Brother Gu, you can only tolerate it for the time being. I am number one on the mountain and river list. When the time comes, I will be the first to choose my opponent. I will choose you directly. Although I have no chance of the final reward, I will avoid being humiliated by Luo Yi. "Zhao Mayi said in a condensed voice.
Gu Xuan looked at Zhao Mayi, obviously not expecting that the latter just met him for the first time and helped him twice in a row. He asked with some confusion: "Since Senior Brother Zhao has paid attention to me from the beginning, he also feels that I have outstanding talent, so don’t you have any hostility towards me? Logically speaking, the students on the Shanhe Ranking should all be competitors."
"This is not bad." Zhao Mayi shook his head and smiled, "But there are too many geniuses in the world. I can be ranked first in the mountain and river rankings, but I may not be the first in the Tianyuan. I am afraid that on the mainland
What's the point of being jealous of others when it's even harder to get ranked? I feel that you have the potential to become a peerless strong man, so if I help you, you will definitely not be ungrateful when the time comes, right?"
Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows. He had felt that this young man in sackcloth was extraordinary before, but now it seemed that the latter's performance still exceeded his own evaluation.
Not to mention being able to see that you are extraordinary, even with this mentality, you can definitely become a strong person.
"So I am going to help you, choose you as my opponent, and help you avoid Luo Yi. After you surpass me, you will always be grateful to me and become a big help to me. Of course, I think at this time,
We are already friends." Zhao Mayi raised her eyebrows and smiled.
He believes that those who think that Gu Xuan will run out of potential sooner or later are actually just blinded by jealousy. Gu Xuan's situation is very similar to that of Zhou Juechu back then. It's just that Zhou Juechu likes to be patient, while Gu Xuan is flamboyant.
Does it mean that Gu Xuan’s achievements are limited?
This is really a bit ridiculous.
After the rise of Gu Xuan, even if he does not reach the level of Zhou Juechu, he only has a few percent of Zhou Juechu's talent. Being friends with such a person will be of great help to his future path.
"I didn't expect that the number one on the mountain and river list would be this kind of person." Gu Xuan also shook his head helplessly and laughed, "But if I am not ungrateful, I will not let you choose me as your opponent."
"What does this mean?" Zhao Mayi was stunned.
"Because I am ranked first in the Tianyuan Competition, I can make a request to the school. I must fight for it. If you choose me, there will only be one left between the two of us." Gu Xuan said slowly.
Zhao Mayi opened her mouth, obviously not expecting Gu Xuan to say such words, and then smiled: "Junior brother Gu wants to compete for the first place in the Tianyuan. I think it won't take long. Next year will be enough. As for this year
If you just want to compete for the first place, then you are looking down on me, senior brother."
Gu Xuan didn't say much, he just said: "Senior Brother Zhao, would you like to discuss with me?"
"Now?" Zhao Mayi was slightly surprised.
"That's it now." Gu Xuan nodded. Zhao Mayi may have just said what he said just as a joke, but he was not joking. In the annual Tianyuan assessment, those who get the first place can make a request to the school.
, this request can be large or small, and the school will decide whether to agree to it based on the value of the student.
If you don't agree, you can change the request. This is actually a very attractive reward.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the conditions proposed are not particularly excessive, the school will not refuse to avoid losing face.
If Gu Xuan wins first place, he can definitely offer himself a chance to conquer the evil spirit True Fire! This condition has been proposed before, and it was agreed!
Although that disciple ultimately failed, it also proved that it is feasible to put forward this condition!
So he has to compete for the first place, and if Zhao Mayi wants to choose him, he can only defeat Zhao Mayi. At that time, Zhao Mayi was ranked first in the rankings, but was eliminated in the first round, which would also become a laughing stock.
Although Gu Xuan rarely explained some things, he had no choice but to talk to someone. Zhao Mayi wanted to help him twice and was so frank, which also got his approval. In this case, it is necessary to explain.
Zhao Mayi thought for a moment and then nodded: "That's fine."
Zhao Mayi also discovered Gu Xuan's seriousness, and felt very helpless. He had heard others say that Gu Xuan was arrogant, but he still didn't believe it, thinking that those people just didn't understand Gu Xuan's strength.
But now it seems that Gu Xuan is indeed a bit arrogant. After all, he is also the first in the mountain and river rankings, and has been stable in this position for almost a year. Gu Xuan actually wants to challenge himself. This is really...
Zhao Mayi pointed to a nearby valley, and Gu Xuan also nodded. The reason why people at the top of the Shanhe Ranking did not fight each other for a long time was to prevent their own martial arts from being exposed.
After the two came to the valley, Zhao Mayi's face became solemn. Although he didn't think Gu Xuan was so tyrannical, he would never underestimate anyone on the Shanhe List.
"Junior Brother Gu, let's take action together!"
Gu Xuan also nodded: "Okay!"
boom!
Almost at the same time, the power of the two people's flames started to circulate, and the two momentums soared into the sky!
At this time, Zhao Mayi discovered that the momentum of the two people was actually very similar.
Generally speaking, momentum can be equated with strength. With Gu Xuan's momentum, I'm afraid he's not much weaker than him.
Zhao Mayi pulled out a long sword from behind. Infused with the power of flames, the blade of the sword shone with a layer of light, which shimmered menacingly.
Gu Xuan also stretched out his palm, and thirty secret star-catching patterns on his hand shone.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two of them jumped up at the same time, with one palm and one sword, and they collided dozens of times in the air.
At the beginning, the two of them were just testing, but as they went on, the force they exerted became stronger. When both of them showed their strongest strength, Zhao Mayi's expression changed a little.
He originally thought that Gu Xuan could catch 50% of his power, which would be enough, but now that he has exerted 100% of his power, Gu Xuan still does not fall behind.
Gu Xuan's strength is actually not inferior to him?
"Junior Brother Gu, it seems that I underestimated you before. I originally thought that only Luo Yi could force me to use my strongest martial arts. It was prepared for the Tianyuan Competition. I didn't expect to use it now. Be careful!"
Zhao Mayi flew back, and the power of the flames on the long sword suddenly condensed to the extreme, forming a sharp white light, and the air was freezing!
"Cold Light Slash!"
With a low shout, Zhao Mayi swung his long sword, and the cold white light suddenly grew to a length of several feet, and struck down heavily towards Gu Xuan!
This slash tore apart the air, as if creating the world and dividing Yin and Yang.
Gu Xuan's eyes also became solemn, the light in his hand was strong, and he struck the sword with a palm!
boom!
The collision of two tyrannical forces resulted in a sudden explosion, and the scattered energy twisted crazily, making the air in front of the two people a little blurry.
"Ahem!"
Zhao Mayi coughed twice, her face a little pale, and she took a few steps back after being bombarded by this terrifying force, and couldn't help but look forward.
Gu Xuan in front of him was still standing on the same spot, and the starlight in his hand was not damaged at all.
Zhao Mayi was completely stunned. He showed his strongest martial arts and lost?
