Chapter 720: Five Sect Competition (1)

Senior Sister Snow Snake appeared outside Holy Son Yifan's Dao Residence.

Upon hearing Senior Sister Snow Snake's words, Holy Son Yifan rushed out the next second.

“Senior Sister Snow Snake, I'm ready. Let's go.”

Holy Son Yifan had not forgotten about the Five Sect Competition. After all, as long as he could take the top spot, the abundant resources he would receive should be enough to allow him to achieve a very significant Breakthrough in a short period of time.

As Holy Son Yifan nodded in agreement, Senior Sister Snow Snake gave a grand wave of her hand, immediately leading Holy Son Yifan toward the academy's entrance.

When Senior Sister Snow Snake brought Holy Son Yifan to the academy entrance, they saw countless figures dressed in Gu Yuan Academy attire. Upon seeing Snow Snake, they all respectfully greeted her one after another.

After all, strength was respected within Gu Yuan Academy, and Snow Snake was a level seventeen super forbidden expert; it was only natural to treat her with such an attitude.

Snow Snake responded with a lukewarm nod.

To the side, Holy Son Yifan felt a bit of doubt and looked at Snow Snake, asking, “Senior Sister Snow Snake, I wonder where the Five Sect Competition is being held?”

“The Five Sect Competition takes place within a world created by the leaders of our five great powers. Don't worry, that world can withstand the power of up to a level fifteen forbidden expert. In all previous Five Sect Competitions, there has never been a Prodigy who reached level fifteen before the age of a hundred thousand, so that world is perfectly capable of containing your battles.”

Facing Holy Son Yifan's question, Senior Sister Snow Snake answered without the slightest hint of impatience.

“Will the Dean be taking us there then?”

“Yes.”

“Then, Senior Sister Snow Snake, you are…?”

“I am naturally going along. After all, you are a newly accepted Disciple under Master's lineage. As your Senior Sister, I must naturally ensure your safety.”

Snow Snake spoke with an air of righteous conviction. She wasn't foolish enough to admit she just wanted to go watch the excitement of the Five Sect Competition. She hadn't had a good opportunity before, but now that Master had taken in a new Junior Brother, she could use this excuse to go see the spectacle.

Hearing this, before Holy Son Yifan could say anything, two figures rushed over from a distance and began to tease Snow Snake.

“I say, Senior Sister Snow Snake, it's a bit unfair of you to try and sneak off by yourself. Didn't we agree to go together?”

The first to arrive was Senior Apprentice Brother Chen Shi, his expression full of indignation as he looked at Snow Snake.

Senior Sister Snow Snake glared at Senior Apprentice Brother Chen Shi. “How are you talking to your Senior Sister? What do you mean 'sneak off'? We haven't even left yet. You're just a bit late. Now that you've caught up, what's with all the nonsense?”

Snow Snake would never admit she wanted to go alone, as that would damage her image in front of her Junior Brothers and Sisters.

Another figure stood beside Dust World. When Holy Son Yifan saw him, his expression turned incredibly solemn, because he sensed an aura even more powerful than Snow Snake's coming from this person.

“Senior Apprentice Brother Chen Shi, I wonder who this is?”

Holy Son Yifan spoke up quickly, asking in a respectful tone.

“This one? This is our Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang. You can just call him Senior Brother Chun Liang.”

Dust World didn't seem to care much, waving his hand as he spoke.

The Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang that Dust World mentioned merely looked at Holy Son Yifan and gave a nod of acknowledgment before ignoring him, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

However, for some reason, Holy Son Yifan felt a familiar aura from Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang, but he couldn't put his finger on why. He could only suppress the feeling for now, planning to investigate when he had the chance.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared before everyone. With his appearance, the Disciples on the scene instantly fell silent, their eyes filled with respect and admiration as they looked at him.

Even Senior Apprentice Brother Chen Shi was no exception.

“Who is this?”

Holy Son Yifan asked in an incredibly low voice. Senior Sister Snow Snake didn't turn her head, but she answered, “This is our Gu Yuan Academy's Dean, an Eighteen-level Perfection super forbidden expert!”

Upon hearing this, Holy Son Yifan's expression became extremely grave. He hadn't expected to meet an Eighteen-level Perfection super forbidden expert so soon. Facing a figure of that level, Holy Son Yifan didn't dare leak even a sliver of his Divine Power, fearing he might attract the other's attention and expose his identity.

Fortunately, Dean Gu Yuan paid no mind to Holy Son Yifan and the others. After glancing at the Disciples present, he spoke: “Since everyone is here, let us depart.”

With that, without waiting for the Disciples to say anything, Dean Gu Yuan gave a grand wave of his hand, directly taking the Disciples into his body. He then sped off toward the north, outside of Gu Yuan Academy.

Of those taken into Dean Gu Yuan's body, only Snow Snake, Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang, and Holy Son Yifan still had some sense of perception. The other forbidden experts were all Seal-ed away, feeling nothing at all.

However, Holy Son Yifan did not act rashly. After all, on the surface, he was only a level eleven Middle Stage forbidden expert. Facing an Eighteen-level Perfection forbidden expert, how could he possibly still be able to move?

Snow Snake and Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang were completely unaware of this. After breaking free from the Dean's restraint, Snow Snake looked at Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang and spoke in a curious tone: “I didn't expect the legendary aloof male god, Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang, to attend a competition like the Five Sect Competition. That's rare.”

“It's nothing rare. I just want to go back and reminisce. After all, back then, I led the entire Gu Yuan Academy to become the champions of the Five Sect Competition!”

Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang's expression was flat. Although his tone was extremely calm, for some reason, one could still tell he was showing off.

Even Snow Snake couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she didn't refute him. After all, Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang's talent back then was truly terrifying. When he participated in the Five Sect Competition, he was only fifty-three thousand six hundred and twenty years old, yet his cultivation had already reached level twelve, leading all the Gu Yuan Academy Disciples to the top spot in one fell swoop.

Soon, Snow Snake changed the subject, looking at Holy Son Yifan to the side and asking, “What do you think of this Junior Brother's talent?”

Hearing this, Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang glanced at Holy Son Yifan, his gaze becoming incredibly solemn. “Incredibly terrifying, even surpassing my own. I can see that he has only been Cultivating Forbidden Power for a short ten thousand years, yet his cultivation has reached the level eleven Middle Stage. Even I couldn't achieve that at his age.”

“This time, under his leadership, our Gu Yuan Academy will once again take the top spot.”

Hearing the Ninth Senior Brother's evaluation, although Snow Snake's expression was solemn, she did not disagree. After all, from the first moment she saw Holy Son Yifan, she could see that his talent was above all of theirs. Even their most terrifying Eldest Senior Brother was far from being a match for Holy Son Yifan!”
