Capítulo 1122: Chapter 1121: Heaven’s Chosen One
“What are you all talking about?” In the midst of their lively conversation, Guan Shan’s voice suddenly came from behind.
Although Guan Shan didn’t hold any tangible power in Tuo Shi, his status as the proud son of heaven made many people wary.
With his abilities, getting in touch with the power dynamics of Tuo Shi was only a matter of time.
“Guan Shan, we were just talking about that guy Su Changfeng!”
“Yeah, don’t you know? He signed up for all the ranking competitions, he’s ridiculously arrogant!”
“What is Elder Wu thinking? Is this really the disciple he chose?”
At this moment, someone respectfully approached Guan Shan, clearly trying to curry favor.
“Guan Shan, I actually think that compared to that useless Su Changfeng, you are more suited to be Elder Wu’s disciple. I think Elder Wu must be senile not to see such an outstanding talent like you, choosing a useless one as a disciple is such a waste.”
Guan Shan snorted. He really didn’t know why Elder Wu chose Su Changfeng as a disciple. From his perspective, it was an extremely foolish decision.
With his achievements in Tuo Shi, how could a minor figure like Su Changfeng catch that old fellow’s eye?
“That’s right, everyone thinks so. Even though we’re not sure about Su Changfeng’s strength, at most, he’s just an ordinary expert, nowhere near your level.”
“Among the new generation, you’re the fastest growing. There’s no more outstanding talent in Tuo Shi than you. Su Changfeng is just a waste, what does he count for?”
“Elder Wu really made the wrong choice this time. I wonder, what kind of person from the secular world could attract Elder Wu’s attention and even be taken as a disciple.”
Facing Guan Shan, a few people flattered him again. These people were currently Earth Level, and if they could make friends with a proud son of heaven like Guan Shan, they would have a backer in the future at Tuo Shi.
As for Guan Shan, he naturally enjoyed such fawning. Although his face showed no expression, he savored this flattery in his heart.
“Don’t speak recklessly. Elder Wu, as the leader of Shangyun Pavilion, has his own reasons for doing things. These matters are none of our business, and we shouldn’t talk about them, lest we invite trouble.” Guan Shan spoke lightly.
“Yes, yes, we just feel it’s a shame for you. You’re so excellent, but Elder Wu doesn’t see it. It’s really unfortunate.”
A trace of coldness flashed in Guan Shan’s eyes.
Unfortunate? Ha.
It’s not unfortunate at all. As long as Su Changfeng shows up, he will have a way to let everyone see that he is the most outstanding one! He hadn’t expected that such a waste as Su Changfeng would sign up for all the ranking competitions. Hmph, sooner or later, he’d become a laughingstock.
Therefore, he didn’t need to worry at all; all he had to do was wait for Su Changfeng to make a fool of himself, and when that time came, it would be his opportunity to shine.
Most importantly, Guan Shan now had a good relationship with Lingxiao Pavilion. The leader of Lingxiao Pavilion had already promised that if he joined them, they would definitely focus on nurturing him.
Now, Guan Shan’s ambition was growing increasingly inflated. He even began to imagine that one day he would fiercely trample over Shangyun Pavilion, making Elder Wu pay the price for his choice and regret it.
He would make everyone in Shangyun Pavilion see how outstanding he, Guan Shan, was and what a price they would pay for losing him.
“Speak carefully, you can discuss these things in private, but don’t let Elder Wu find out.” Guan Shan reminded simply.
Upon hearing this, the few figured nodded honestly, but the discussion about Su Changfeng in Tuo Shi was naturally far from over.
Over meals and tea, someone would always bring up Su Changfeng, just like when he was initially married into the Shen Family and became a laughing stock among the Jiang City people.
Two days later, Su Changfeng was finally spotted on the outskirts of Tuo Shi.
After a journey filled with hardship, Su Changfeng finally reached the edge of Tuo Shi. Originally, he couldn’t imagine where Tuo Shi was located and why many experts searched for decades without finding it.
Having personally come this far, he finally understood that Tuo Shi was hidden deep in the mountains and forests, an isolated world basically devoid of people, so naturally, no one would know about it.
“Tuo Shi has blocked all satellite signals; regardless of how advanced the technology is, it can’t locate the existence of Tuo Shi.” Yang Junming explained calmly.
Su Changfeng smiled, already having guessed this, but he still showed an appreciative expression for Yang Junming’s kind explanation.
“Is this the outskirts of Tuo Shi?” Su Changfeng asked.
Yang Junming nodded, not concealing anything: “This is indeed the outskirts of Tuo Shi; its members here are all Yellow Level.”
From a distance, Su Changfeng vaguely saw two familiar people, Mu Tian and Wu Wen.
He remembered teaching this master and disciple duo a good lesson back when he was at the Nangong Family.
“This is the first step; you can only proceed after passing the Yellow Level competition.” Elder Wu looked at Su Changfeng and explained.
Along the journey, Su Changfeng had become very familiar with Tuo Shi’s rules from Elder Wu’s explanations: just fight your way through, it seemed rather simple.
“Elder Wu, if I lose at this first step, won’t it be quite shameful?” Su Changfeng raised an eyebrow and smiled.
“Hmph, if you actually lose, you’d not only be ashamed, I’d fare no better!” Elder Wu replied with some annoyance.
“Alright, I understand. You can go now; your status is too esteemed to linger in a place like this.” Su Changfeng waved his hand dismissively.
Elder Wu glanced at Yang Junming and said no more, simply leaving.
As for the training of Su Changfeng, Elder Wu left it entirely in Yang Junming’s hands. What he needed to do was wait for Su Changfeng to come to Shangyun Pavilion.
At this point, many Yellow Level members, who knew Su Changfeng had arrived, began showing up, curiously scrutinizing him as if watching a monkey.
“So he’s Su Changfeng? He looks quite ordinary; I can’t see anything special about him.”
“To think he signed up for all the events, that’s incredibly arrogant.”
“It seems Elder Wu truly is senile; to finally find a disciple and it’s him.”
“Yeah, yeah, passing over someone like Guan Shan to pick this guy?”
To many, Su Changfeng was just a bit handsome on the outside, but otherwise, there wasn’t much special about him. Tuo Shi wasn’t a place where one could survive on looks alone; without real strength, one couldn’t establish themselves here.
