Chapter 139 True Disciple
"What?"
Everyone present was shocked when Qin Feng said this.
What kind of status does Qin Feng have that he would notice an outer disciple?
You should know that even ordinary inner disciples are not qualified to be remembered by him.
The so-called prodigies on the popularity list can't even meet the threshold to see him!
Could it be that this Chu Xuan has some extraordinary background?
But if he really had a powerful background, how could he have ended up in this small animal park and become Tong Hao's subordinate?
Tong Hao seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Qin is the examiner for Qingshan City this year, right? Could it be that Chu Xuan has some extraordinary talent that has caught Senior Brother Qin's eye?"
Everyone then realized what was happening.
So that's what happened.
They were almost scared by Qin Feng's words.
However, the fact that Chu Xuan could make Qin Feng remember him is enough to show that the other party is not simple.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "I haven't seen anything particularly outstanding about him, but I just find him rather... interesting."
interesting?
Everyone was a little confused.
However, I still kept the name Chu Xuan in my heart.
On the square outside the main hall.
Chu Xuan sensed the killing intent emanating from behind him, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Is she holding a grudge against me?"
Chu Xuan sneered inwardly.
This Pei Xiu is just like Qian Yao.
Just because he's senior and powerful, he thinks that others should naturally give way to him, or else they'll be making trouble for him!
"Junior Brother Chu, Pei Xiu isn't a magnanimous person! It's not wise for you to offend him now. He might cause you trouble later!" Qian Yao said from the side, seemingly out of concern.
Whether it was provocation or a genuine reminder, only he himself knows.
"Thank you for reminding me, Senior Brother Qian."
Chu Xuan replied indifferently.
"Senior Brother Tong is out!"
At this moment, a few people nearby suddenly exclaimed, drawing the attention of Chu Xuan and his companion.
Tong Hao's appearance was hardly something to exclaim about.
However, besides Tong Hao, there were four other people who came out, and they were all inner disciples!
"The one next to Senior Brother Tong looks like Senior Brother Chen Xuanbei from Zhenyue Peak—"
"And there's Senior Brother Zhou Zixuan from Qingmu Peak!"
"The one wearing the fire robe is Senior Brother Zhao Jinyang from Lihuo Peak."
When they noticed Qin Feng in his white robe, several knowledgeable managers gasped in surprise.
"It's actually Senior Brother Qin Feng from Chiyang Peak! I actually saw Senior Brother Qin Feng—"
The speaker was Xie Lei, the manager of the No. 2 Beast Garden. He had already broken through the Gang Jin realm, and entering the inner sect was a certainty.
But upon seeing Qin Feng, he became so excited that his face flushed and his voice trembled.
The supervisors of Animal Parks No. 1 and No. 3 were also staring intently at Qin Feng, their breathing rapid and their eyes burning with desire!
Chu Xuan also saw these inner disciples, but apart from Tong Hao, he didn't recognize any of them.
No, I think I know one!
The inner disciple in white robes appears to be the examiner for this year's Green Mountain City exam.
As for the name, I don't know!
To Chu Xuan's surprise, the other person smiled and nodded at him when they saw him.
"Senior Brother Qin! Senior Brother Qin actually greeted me! Does that mean he thinks highly of me?!"
Beside him, Qian Yao clenched his fists with excitement, his voice trembling.
Chu Xuan was speechless.
Are you kidding me?
Seeing Chu Xuan's expression, Qian Yao sneered, "You bumpkin, what do you know! These senior brothers who came out with Senior Brother Tong are all prominent figures among the inner disciples! And Senior Brother Qin Feng is a true disciple of Chiyang Peak!"
A true disciple!
Chu Xuan was also somewhat moved!
So this is Qin Feng!
What shocked him even more was Qin Feng's identity: a true disciple! No, we should also add "Crimson Sun Peak" before that!
The Xuan Yang Sect only recruits disciples from its five main peaks, and only those who are accepted as disciples by the peak masters are worthy of the title "true disciple"!
For a disciple who has just entered the inner sect, being able to become a disciple of an elder is already a great opportunity. If one can become a disciple of the peak master and become a true disciple, it can almost be said that one has ascended to heaven in one step!
But the difficulty involved is beyond imagination.
Because each peak master reigns for decades or even centuries, but only takes on three to five disciples.
This means that the Xuan Yang Sect's true disciples number at most around twenty! Or even just a dozen or so.
The future leaders will basically come from these dozen or so people.
But Chiyang Peak has an even more special meaning!
Because most of the sect leaders of the Xuan Yang Sect come from Chi Yang Peak, while only a small portion occasionally come from the other four peaks.
The most recent sect leaders all came from Chiyang Peak!
This also established the status of Chiyang Peak, which surpasses the other four peaks.
The current sect master of Xuan Yang Sect is also the peak master of Chi Yang Peak, and so far he has only accepted three disciples as his true disciples!
In other words, these three disciples could not only be the future peak masters of Chiyang Peak, but also the future sect masters of Xuanyang Sect!
Qin Feng was one of these three!
No wonder Qian Yao was so agitated.
"Senior Brother Qin actually greeted me; he must think highly of me—"
Qian Yao was so excited that he was talking to himself.
Chu Xuan distanced himself from him to avoid being mistaken for a fool.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that, apart from Qin Feng, the other inner disciples were also glancing at him, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
"It must be my imagination!"
As a mere outer disciple, he rarely leaves the Hundred Beasts Garden and shouldn't have anything that would attract the attention of these prominent figures among the inner disciples.
The zoo managers got all excited, but it was all for nothing.
Qin Feng and the others did not come over, but sat down on chairs outside the main hall, completely ignoring their intentions.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Tong, and all the other senior brothers—"
Jiang Yunfan, the manager of the No. 1 Beast Garden, was the first to step forward and greet them respectfully.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Tong!"
Upon seeing this, the others quickly followed suit and bowed as well.
Tong Hao walked over and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, enough with the nonsense! You probably already know why I called you here. I plan to have Chu Xuan take over Beast Gardens Seven and Ten! Who agrees, who disagrees?"
After he finished speaking, he scanned the entire room with his own eyes.
When he appointed Chu Xuan to take charge of Beast Garden No. 8 and No. 13, he did not consult with anyone else but made the arrangement directly.
Because Animal Garden No. 8 and No. 13, like Animal Garden No. 9, are located on the edge of the Animal Garden and are the worst among the dozen or so animal gardens. Others simply don't want them.
But the seventh and tenth animal enclosures are different; they are considered mid-level enclosures.
At this point, if Tong Haoruo directly appointed Chu Xuan without consulting the others, although there was no problem with it, it would seem too arbitrary.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing Tong Hao's words.
Although they had already guessed it, Tong Hao's mention of it at this time still made them somewhat unhappy!
Chu Xuan already manages three beast gardens. If he adds No. 7 and No. 10, he will definitely be the biggest manager in the entire beast garden.
Even the top three zoo managers can't compare.
"I agree!"
Qian Yao spoke first, "Junior Brother Chu is a young talent, and he has made great contributions again! I wholeheartedly agree to let him manage these two beast gardens."
Chu Xuan glanced at him but didn't say anything.
That bastard is clearly up to no good!
Given his character, for him to jump out and stand on my side at this time is clearly just making me the target of hatred, and he might even be stirring up trouble!
Pei Xiu then spoke up, "Senior Brother Tong, Junior Brother Chu already manages three beast gardens. Gardens eight, nine, and thirteen are fine, as they mostly house low-level beasts. But Garden seven is a mid-level beast garden. With Junior Brother Chu's strength, I'm afraid he might not be able to handle it!"
My younger brother, Pei Yong, also entered the outer sect this year, just like Junior Brother Chu, but he reached the Transformation Realm much earlier than Junior Brother Chu.
In my opinion, it would be better to have my younger brother help Junior Brother Chu with one of the beast enclosures, how about Beast Enclosure Number Seven? After all, this enclosure has more Tier 3 beasts, and I'm afraid Junior Brother Chu won't be able to handle it!"
The others were already somewhat envious of Chu Xuan, but they didn't say anything out of respect for Tong Hao. Seeing Pei Xiu step forward and become the first to speak up, they all started to say something as well.
"Senior Brother Pei is right, Junior Brother Chu is still a bit too weak."
"I also agree with Senior Brother Pei's point of view —"
"In my opinion, Junior Brother Chu can manage the three beast farms he's in charge of. Let the other brothers share the responsibility for farms number seven and ten."
"7
Pei Yong also stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Tong, I am willing to help Junior Brother Chu with the burden of a beast garden."
Tong Hao ignored Pei Yong, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger, and instead looked at Chu Xuan, asking, "What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan said calmly, "I want them all!"
The scene fell silent.
Then, a series of cold snorts rang out.
"Hmph, arrogant!"
"You want them all? With your current level of just entering the Transformation Realm, can you handle it?"
"Young and impetuous, utterly clueless—"
Pei Xiu also sneered, "Want them all? You've got quite the nerve. You'll need the ability to do it! If something goes wrong while you're managing so many animal farms, can you handle the consequences?"
Chu Xuan asked, "Then I wonder what I would do to make Senior Brother Pei think I have that ability?"
Pei Xiu was immediately overjoyed.
That's exactly what he was waiting for Chu Xuan to say!
"Want us to acknowledge you? It's easy! Just beat my brother, Pei Yong. He and you both only joined this year, so it's not like we're bullying you, is it? If you lose, the Seventh Beast Garden will be under my brother's control, okay?" Pei Xiu said with a half-smile.
The other managers joined in, claiming that if Chu Xuan defeated Pei Yong, they would acknowledge that Chu Xuan had the ability.
Pei Yong jumped out and provoked, "Chu Xuan, do you dare to challenge me? If you can't even beat me, what qualifications do you have to manage so many beast gardens!"
Tong Hao looked at Chu Xuan again: "What do you think?"
"Can!"
Chu Xuan nodded.
Upon hearing this, Tong Hao finally smiled.
The Xuan Yang Sect lets strength speak for itself!
Since he had promised Chu Xuan these two beast gardens, he would not go back on his word. Even if Chu Xuan refused, he would still hand over the two beast gardens to Chu Xuan.
Whether Chu Xuan can hold on or not is none of his business!
Chu Xuan's quick agreement was undoubtedly more to his liking!
"That means letting your abilities speak for themselves!"
Tong Hao nodded and said directly, "If Pei Yong challenges Chu Xuan and wins, Beast Garden No. 7 will belong to him; if he loses, in addition to Beast Garden No. 7, Beast Garden No. 11, which Pei Yong was in charge of, will also belong to Chu Xuan!"
Pei Yong's expression changed instantly!
Pei Xiu's smile froze!
"Senior Brother Tong, I—" Pei Yong opened his mouth.
He could even wager his own No. 11 Beast Garden against Chu Xuan!
Tong Hao's face turned cold. He said, "What, you just want to take advantage of the situation but don't want to pay the price? If you don't agree, then get out of here and stop making a fool of yourself!"
"I----"
Pei Yong's face turned pale, and he was too frightened to speak, but he also dared not agree.
Chu Xuan merged with Beast Garden No. 7, and even if he merged with Beast Garden No. 10, he would still have three Beast Gardens in his possession.
If he were to merge with Animal Park No. 11, he would have no choice but to slink out of Animal Park or go work as a handyman for his brother.
"I agreed on behalf of my brother!"
Seeing that Tong Hao's face was about to darken, Pei Xiu quickly stepped forward to agree on behalf of Pei Yong.
If his wife refused at this point, it would obviously upset Tong Hao, and the loss would be greater than losing the position of the manager of the animal park.
"Let's begin!"
Tong Hao said directly.
Without further ado, the two stepped forward.
The others stepped aside to make room for the two.
Pei Yong stared at Chu Xuan with a somewhat unpleasant expression and sneered, "I heard you are skilled in Bajiquan, which happens to be my skill as well!"
Today, I'll show you what real Bajiquan is!
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved. His blood and qi surged, and the faint sound of his bones and muscles resonating could be heard through his robes.
Pei Yong took a step forward, his fist exploding like thunder, the blue bricks beneath his feet crumbling. He unleashed his inner energy, his fist, wrapped in powerful force, aimed straight at Chu Xuan's heart.
His fists were fierce and powerful, fully demonstrating the power of Bajiquan's "fiery and forceful advance," with concentrated and unyielding energy. Once he got close, he shattered Chu Xuan's internal organs.
Clearly, Pei Yong had mastered Bajiquan to a high level, fully grasping its essence. He was ruthless in his attacks, aiming to seriously injure Chu Xuan!
Chu Xuan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead met the attack with a powerful punch of his own.
The same boxing stance, the same fierce power, but with completely different charm.
Pei Yong's fist is domineering, capable of splitting mountains and smashing rocks. Chu Xuan's fist, however, is soft yet firm, having perfected Bajiquan to a point of consummate skill.
"Bang!
""
The two fists collided, and the shockwave spread out, causing dust to billow up from the ground.
Pei Yong felt as if the immense force in his fist had been deflected by Wujian, and most of his strength had vanished without a trace, causing him to shudder.
He was going all out, while Chu Xuan, although he also used Bajiquan, clearly did not use his strength and only relied on his physical body to withstand the attack.
Sit down!
Pei Yong immediately changed tactics, using a combination of punches and strikes, elbows and knees, unleashing a fierce barrage of close-quarters combat, with every move aimed at vital points.
Chu Xuan, on the other hand, firmly planted his feet in the Bajiquan horse stance, as steady as Mount Tai. With each swing of his arms, he fully demonstrated the essence of the six forms of Bajiquan. Every time he parried, he did not directly block, but rather used softness to neutralize hardness, deflecting and deflecting Pei Yong's violent punches.
Pei Yong became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. Although both were practicing Bajiquan, he was only strong and powerful but lacked flexibility, while Chu Xuan's Bajiquan flowed smoothly and without any obstruction.
This clearly shows that Chu Xuan's mastery of Bajiquan is a notch above his!
The lacquer figures below were fighting back and forth, creating a lively scene.
However, several inner disciples were so bored they were almost falling asleep.
-
Such a competition holds no appeal for them.
"This Chu Xuan doesn't seem to have anything special about him," Zhao Jinyang of Li Huo Peak frowned.
Others shared the same sentiment.
Sou Xuanbei shook his head and said, "It's easy to master Bajiquan, but difficult to perfect it. It's already quite remarkable that Chu Xuan has been able to perfect Bajiquan. There are probably only a few people like him in the outer sect, so it's quite good."

That's what he said, but he was clearly disappointed too!
Chu Xuan may be somewhat outstanding, but he doesn't seem to have the qualities that make Qin Feng remember him.
Zhou Zixuan then looked at Qin Feng and asked, "Senior Brother Qin, what do you think?"
"Me?"
Qin Feng smiled noncommittally, "I'll just sit and watch!"
Unlike the others, he watched Chu Xuan and the other man's fight with great interest, but felt a little strange.
This kid has clearly broken through to the Gang Jin realm, yet he's still fighting back and forth with that kid who's only reached the Lesser Mastery of the Transformation Realm.
It seems unnecessary to hide one's shortcomings to this extent.
When he saw Pei Xiu's gloomy face, he suddenly realized!
Damn it, this kid hasn't changed at all; he's still as cunning as ever!
It looks like it's planning to eat them both together!
