Chapter 21: Heavenly Astral Golden Body, Unstoppable Zhou Fan!

"I must report this to my Master. Senior doing this is very likely to scare Disciple to death."

Han Jue shook his head, truly speechless.

Cultivating a Divine Ability in the middle of the night and playing the ghost!

Just now, he should have directly suppressed and killed this Grand Elder's Primordial Spirit.

"No, no, no! This old man just got playful for a moment, this old man apologizes to you!" the Grand Elder hurriedly said.

Han Jue was amused and asked, "Do you know my Master?"

"Ahem, actually, your Master is my Disciple, and so is the current Sect Master."

The Grand Elder held his head high and puffed out his chest, looking arrogant.

However, Han Jue's expression remained unchanged, completely unfazed.

The Grand Elder's smile instantly collapsed.

Could this junior not believe it?

Han Jue said, "Then let's pretend tonight's events never happened. You may leave."

"Really?"

"Mm."

The Grand Elder immediately turned and left.

Just after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and asked, "Kid, this old man sees that your bones are extraordinary. Do you want to inherit this old man's legacy?"

Han Jue raised an eyebrow and asked, "What legacy?"

"This old man will impart the peerless Cultivation Technique, Heavenly Astral Golden Body, to you. Do you want to practice it? In the entire Jade Purity Sect, only the Sect Master and this old man know it!"

Heavenly Astral Golden Body?

Sounds so awesome!

Han Jue's eyes lit up.

But on second thought, something was wrong. Their first meeting wasn't pleasant; why would this old man pass on a Cultivation Technique to him?

There must be a trap!

Want to scam me?

Han Jue shook his head and said, "Forget it. Thank you for Senior's kind intentions."

The Grand Elder's smile froze once again. He let out a cold snort, flicked his sleeves, and left.

Half an hour later.

Han Jue left his Immortal Cave and flew toward Jade Serenity Hall.

He arrived before the grand doors and knelt down.

The grand doors abruptly flew open.

Han Jue quickly walked inside.

"Why are you visiting in the middle of the night?" Fairy Xixuan asked, her eyes closed.

Han Jue knelt before her and recounted everything that had just happened truthfully.

Fairy Xixuan opened her eyes and frowned deeply.

She was displeased in her heart.

This old fellow is acting up again!

"You almost killed him?" Fairy Xixuan asked curiously.

Han Jue scratched his head and said, "Senior was cultivating a Divine Ability, and Disciple was only able to resist it. None of that matters. Master, will he come to harass Disciple again? Disciple really doesn't want to live in fear every night."

"Rest assured, tomorrow Master will go find him. If he dares to come again, Master will handle it personally."

"Thank you, Master."

"Mm."

Han Jue breathed a sigh of relief, completely relaxing now.

Before leaving, he curiously asked, "Master, is the Heavenly Astral Golden Body powerful? That Senior wants to impart this Cultivation Technique to me."

"Powerful. It can be called the Jade Purity Sect's strongest Cultivation Technique, even more formidable than the Jade Purity Art. However, before practicing it, one needs to sever the root of humanity."

"What is the root of humanity?"

"A man's foundation."

"…"

Han Jue wanted to curse aloud.

Indeed!

That old bastard didn't have good intentions!

Wait!

Put this way…

The Grand Elder and the Sect Master have already…

Han Jue discovered a heaven-shaking gossip, feeling his worldview shatter.

"This matter must not be spread outside," Fairy Xixuan said solemnly.

"Disciple understands."

After speaking, Han Jue bowed and then rose to leave.

Returning to the Immortal Cave, Han Jue was still thinking about the Heavenly Astral Golden Body.

No wonder even though Li Qingzi liked Fairy Xixuan, the two never formed a Dao Companion relationship.

"Seniors are truly ruthless. To stay away from women, they directly severed their own…"

Han Jue admired them, while simultaneously labeling the Grand Elder as untrustworthy in his heart.

The next day at dawn.

Han Jue set off for the Inner Sect city.

The spell combat for the top ten of the Inner Sect Assessment officially started at noon.

Unlike the Inner Sect Grand Competition, the Inner Sect Assessment was a pathway to becoming elite Disciples, and one could sign up freely. The Inner Sect Grand Competition, on the other hand, was a competition among the Eighteen Peaks to determine rankings and encourage one another.

The spell combat stage had already been built in the plaza at the center of the city, a hundred zhang in length and width. The surroundings were already a sea of people, and many Disciples hovered in the air riding Flying Swords, looking extremely spectacular.

"Junior Brother, you're finally here!"

Chang Yue'er immediately rushed forward and said excitedly.

Over a dozen Disciples from Yuyou Peak arrived, all surrounding Han Jue to cheer him on.

Seeing so many people, Han Jue couldn't help but frown.

With so many people, how is he supposed to fake it?

Or should he just be straightforward?

Directly one-shot everyone?

Han Jue fell into hesitation.

Suddenly sensing a gaze, he turned his head to see Zhou Fan staring at him intently, filled with Battle Intent.

Han Jue felt baffled.

When did I ever provoke him?

Zhou Fan recalled what Mo Fuchou had told him: in this Inner Sect Assessment, his biggest opponent was Han Jue.

Mo Fuchou said that Han Jue had always hidden his strength and was already no less inferior to elite Disciples.

Because of this, Zhou Fan had always treated Han Jue as his imaginary enemy.

He couldn't understand Han Jue at all.

With such outstanding Aptitude and stunning looks, why keep such a low profile?

He heard that Mo Zhu had taken a fancy to Han Jue, but Han Jue kept avoiding her.

The lower profile Han Jue kept, the more aggrieved Zhou Fan felt.

"However, I already have a powerful Magic Treasure; he is definitely not my opponent!"

Zhou Fan thought with firm conviction.

At this moment.

Mo Zhu suddenly walked up to Han Jue and said excitedly, "Brother Han, I believe you will definitely win first place."

Chang Yue'er said vigilantly, "Who are you?"

Mo Zhu looked at her, and both women looked at each other with displeasure.

Seeing that they were about to burst into conflict, Han Jue felt a great sense of impending doom.

"Husband!"

A laugh came over, and Han Jue turned his head to see that Xing Hongxuan had actually arrived.

Chang Yue'er and Mo Zhu turned their heads to look in unison.

Oh no!

Mars colliding with Earth!

Han Jue immediately turned and left, staying far away from this place of trouble.

The three women didn't follow him, instead walking together and starting to clash head-on.

The surrounding Yuyou Peak Disciples envied Han Jue greatly.

Being good-looking really gives one nothing to fear.

So many beautiful Junior Sisters are rushing to throw themselves at him, yet he doesn't even care!

He deserves heavenly condemnation!

Noon.

The Inner Sect Assessment officially began.

Presiding over this Inner Sect Assessment was Old Immortal Dao Lei from Heavenly Thunder Peak.

The teaching Elders of the other seventeen peaks didn't come; those who came were ordinary Elders, stewards, hall Masters, and the like. There were over two thousand Inner Sect Disciples and Mortal servants watching the battle.

Although the Inner Sect Disciples were not extremely numerous, there were quite a few Mortal servants within the Inner Sect city.

The first spell combat match was Han Jue taking the stage.

Hearing his name called, Han Jue immediately took the stage.

"Han Jue of Yuyou Peak versus Zhou Fan of Heavenly Thunder Peak!"

Whoosh—

As soon as Zhou Fan's name was called, the crowd below became noisy and stirred up.

Recently, Zhou Fan was the most famous Disciple in the inner sect. He could be called a Trash staging a comeback. It was said that he possessed a Magic Treasure in his hand that one-shot anyone he saw, winning every battle with an extremely ferocious momentum.

Zhou Fan cupped his fists and smiled, "Brother Han, this time you must go all out."

Han Jue expressionlessly asked, "Really?"

"Really!"

Zhou Fan raised his right hand, and a small black bell emerged from his palm, looking grim and eerie.

On a nearby pavilion, the Elders and stewards all frowned.

They had long heard that Zhou Fan had a very powerful Magic Treasure, and it was said that this treasure was Zhou Fan's natal Magic Treasure.

What is a natal Magic Treasure?

It is something born together with a person. Generally speaking, natal Magic Treasures belong to one's ancestors. Even if such a person has poor Aptitude, protected by their ancestor's Luck, their achievements will not be low.

Seeing this treasure today, they all felt it was extraordinary.

Zhou Fan might truly win first place in this Inner Sect Assessment!
