The sky is not clear yet, and the sun is not yet rising.
The eastern sky had just begun to light up, the dark color in the sky was slowly fading away, the smell of night was still left in the air.
The streets were empty, and there were quick footsteps.
The early morning mountain air was humid, yet Gu Yue Fang Zheng did not feel the slightest hint of cold flow, his heart was filled with soaring enthusiasm.
His face reddened, and now he walked quickly towards the academy.
"I have been cultivating hard these few days, spending 2 primeval stones."
"I didn't sleep at all last night, and I finally managed to refine Moonlight Gu."
"I'm an A-class talent and I'm very hardworking. No one can be faster than me, no one!"
"Dad and Mom, I told you I wouldn't let you guys feel disappointed."
When she thought of the moment where she told her aunt and uncle about the good news earlier, they revealed happiness and relief.
Making Fang Zheng feel a surge of excitement and pride.
"Just wait, all of you clan people are looking down on me, and big brother. From today onwards, I will make all of you look at me, Gu Yue Fang Zheng!"
The more he thought, the more Fang Zheng felt excited. He could not help but clench his fists, and his pace grew even faster.
He came to the entrance of the academy.
2 The academy guards looked at him strangely. They asked him, "Umm, Gu Yue Fang Yuan, why are you back?"
"What, brother just got here?"
When Fang Zheng heard it, his face showed a hint of shock and confusion.
"Ah, whatever!" He would never have expected that Fang Yuan would snatch the number 1.
He shook his head and cupped his hands together, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.
"2 senior brother, I am not Gu Yue Fang Yuan, but I am Gu Yue Fang Zheng. I have successfully refined my vital Gu, and I am here to come and take the grand prize."
"You are Gu Yue Fang Zheng? You brothers are too similar, no wonder the academy elders are wrong." Shouted the guard on the left side, his eyes widened.
The guard on the right shook his head and said, "You came 1 step late. Last night late at night, your brother Gu Yue Fang Yuan came and met with Master and took the main prize."
"My brother!"
Fang Zheng suddenly opened his eyes wide, shouting, "Wait, you said he got number 1?"
'How did this happen!'
'Isn't big brother a C-class talent?'
'Being number 1, this must be a joke right?!'
"That's right. How can we joke about this?"
Seeing Fang Zheng in disbelief, the guard looked rather displeased.
"This matter has been confirmed by the academy elder. In due course a roster will be released and announced."
"What's the matter, your brother didn't tell you about it?" The other guard added.
Fang Zheng was just standing silly at the door.
The truth was so much different from his imagination, at the moment he could not understand what had just happened. In Fang Zheng's heart, there were some illusions about his enemies.
Among them, the ones carrying the most threat were 2, Gue Yue Mo Bei and Gu Yue Chi Cheng.
Both are B class talents.
Behind them were the 2 largest families of the clan, and each of them had a grandfather who carried great authority as an elder, as well as sufficient financial strength.
If any of these 1 out of 2 people were to win over him, Fang Zheng's heart and mind were still ready.
Although he would feel a sense of loss, it was still acceptable.
But right now, the person who snatched the number 1 was not Gu Yue Mo Bei or Gu Yue Chi Cheng, it was not even an opponent in his heart.
But it was Gu Yue Fang Yuan, her brother!
That guy with C-class talent!
The one who fell down and became sad after the Awakening Ceremony!
People who sleep well in class all day!
People who are always drunk and never come home at night!
The one who bullied Shen Cui, slapped him 2 times, and took all of his primeval stonies!
The one who had always held him back, was like a shadow embedded in his heart!
"How can it be like this? That's impossible!"
In a short moment, Fang Zheng roared in his heart, I am very hardworking, but he only drinks every day until he gets drunk, yet in the end he is the one who got the number 1, is this fair?'
'Why?!'
The sun rose from the east, the birds chirped, and the overflowing spring air took over Qing Mao Mountain.
Gu Yue Fang Zheng was bathed in warm sunlight.
He slowly lowered his head, gritted his teeth, looking at his own lonely shadow.
The joy in his heart had turned into a balloon that leaked air, long gone.
Instead what happens are emotions of confusion, hatred, aversion, fear and other complicated feelings.
As time goes by, the sun gets higher.
The academy's news wall had posted a list of new names, and on that list there were only 2 names, first Fang Yuan, and then Fang Zheng.
Following the appearance of this list, the news gradually spread.
Upon hearing the news, all the young students who were determined to refine their Gu at home after receiving it became in an uproar.
"How can it be like this!"
"If it was Fang Zheng who got the number 1, I would still believe him, but it was Fang Yuan, wasn't he a C-class talent?"
"Could there be a mistake, Fang Zheng's A-class talent actually lost to Fang Yuan's C-class talent, is this Tales from the Thousand and One Nights?"
The Mo family home.
The green plants in the courtyard overflowed, the scent of tea danced.
One of the clan elders of the Gu Yue clan, Gu Yue Mo Chen was sitting in front of his desk, looking at the scene of spring outside his window.
He casually drank his tea and said, "Mo Bei doesn't continue to refine his Gu?"
The waiter standing by the side hurriedly replied, "After he heard about the news about Fang Yuan in the afternoon, Young master Mo Bei seemed to be greatly affected and in no mood to continue refining Moonlight Gu."
"Unfortunately, young master Mo Bei almost succeeded. Actually, if Fang Zheng got the number 1 it could still be ignored, but it was only Fang Yuan's C-class talent."
"So young master Mo Bei lost his interest, what can be done."
"Hmph! Don't forgive him."
Gu Yue Mo Chen let out a cold snort, his face was firm and his tone was loud, "The cultivation process Gu Master is full of difficulties at every step, what is a small setback like this?"
"Fang Yuan was only C class, so to be able to get the number 1 was probably due to luck."
"The Moonlight Gu he chose must have a weak will, so that he could seize first place."
"If Mo Bei can't see through this and let such a small setback happen to him, then how can he be in charge of our Mo family in the future, then how can he be in charge of our Mo family in the future, how could he compete with the Chi family?"
"Nobody can advise him, let him think about it for himself!"
"Yes sir."
The waiter did not dare to argue.
Almost simultaneously, in the Chi family home.
"Huh, Gu Yue Fang Yuan ..."
The clan elder, Gu Yue Chi Lian let out a long sigh, her brows furrowed as she thought, waving her hands.
"Someone, please call young master Chi Cheng."
For a moment, Gu Yue Chi Cheng walked into the room with a puzzled expression, kneeling respectfully, "Granddaughter greets grandfather."
"It looks like you already know about the news."
Gu Yue Chi Lian looked at her only direct granddaughter, her tone soft. He slowly said, "I'm calling you to prevent you from being affected by this matter."
"Soally, while refining the vital Gu, first one looks at his talent, secondly at his Gu."
"Fang Yuan's talent was only C class, yet he was able to obtain number 1 this time around. This means that the Gu he chose, compared to all the Moonlight Gu your comrades have, has a much weaker will."
"It's entirely down to luck. So my granddaughter, don't get discouraged, this is nothing."
"He's just a C-class talent, even though he's the same as you, but his supply of resources isn't as good as yours."
"The path to his progress will also be more difficult than your path, trust your grandfather, you will soon surpass him."
"Therefore you must get rid of this trivial matter. Fang Yuan won't be your opponent, and isn't worthy of being your enemy."
"Your true enemies are the A-class talent Fang Zheng and Mo Bei of the Mo family. Do you understand?"
"Yes, thank you for your advice, Grandpa. I-i understand. I will leave now and continue refining my Gu!"
Gu Yue Chi Cheng had lost the sorrowful expression on his face, replacing it with a high spirit to fight.
"M." Mmm." Gu Yue Chi Lian nodded her head, satisfied.
A friendly smile emerged from his face and he said, "Good grandson. Even though your talent is only C class, but rest assured that grandfather will support you completely."
"Later on, I will come out and use the aura of a rank 3 Gu to suppress your Moonlight Gu's will and help you refine this Gu!"
