Chapter 310: Yan Ziyu (2/2)
“Fourth Lord, don’t be so impatient. The pagoda and the heretical schools will have a fight, but you must wait until the event at the sacred lake. Today is not the day.” The man finally made his move with an apricot petal as the chess piece.
It was the Fourth Lord who attacked earlier, but this man repelled his attack. The remnant energy shot back and killed three older cultivators. They fell down from the sky and turned into meat paste.
The pagoda’s disciples were ecstatic and jumped up while shouting: “I know who he is now, he’s rank number one on the Hundred’s List!”
“The lone swallow of snow mountain, Yan Ziyu.” Someone directly called out his name.
“Yes, there’s no mistake. Only Yan Ziyu can play against Scholar Heaven Calculating. These are the top two youths at the pagoda in both combat and literacy.”
The pagoda’s disciples couldn’t be happier since the heretical schools couldn’t be as insolent with these two here.
Even though Shi Yelai was a Grand Historical Genius, he had only reached first level Heaven’s Mandate and couldn’t contend with the top geniuses of the pagoda.
Yan Ziyu was from the same generation as the other historical geniuses and had been famous for more than ten years. He once fought against one of the eight, Beiming Potian, for eighty moves without faltering.
“Isn’t he supposed to be in closed cultivation back on the eighth floor of the Immeasurable Tower? He swore to not leave until he reaches the ninth floor, so if he is out today, does that mean…”
Scholar Heaven Calculating smiled and confirmed this speculation: “Ziyu has entered the ninth floor and obtained an ancient inheritance, allowing him to join the ranks of Grand Historical Geniuses three months ago.”
In a split second, the entire manor was clamoring. This news was simply too shocking. Even the entire cultivation world would be shocked after hearing it.
The birth of a Grand Historical Genius was no joke.
The scholar continued: “The reason why we were late is because Brother Yan met an old friend, so they had a spar that lasted five days and four nights. In the end, the victor was undecided.”
Yan Ziyu was already great enough before making this leap, so someone who could fight him for that long must be an older Grand Historical Genius. Everyone knew that Yan Ziyu and Beiming Potian didn’t get along, so it was probably Potian who fought him.
If the news of the heretical schools’ emergence didn’t come out, maybe these two would continue to fight until a winner was decided.
The heretical lords’ expressions changed. The scholar was definitely not lying. It looked like some powerful enemies have finally appeared.
The scholar slowly declared: “I am here today to compile the list of Grand Historical Genius by adding the 11th and 12th members.”
The crowd fell into an uproar!
The astronomical signs of dragons devouring the sky happened several months ago, so the world would fall into chaos very soon. Grand Historical Geniuses would show up in greater numbers than any of the previous generations.
However, Shi Yelai and Little Demoness from the Feng Clan added up to ten. Yan Ziyu was naturally the 11th, so who was the 12th?
Someone at this level would definitely be renowned in the world. Could this be a recent rising star? However, there hasn’t been another promising candidate of this level to appear.
The scholar had a slight smirk on his face. He pointed towards the iron man under the apricot tree and instantly, a quiet sound came from the body inside the armor.
“Crack!” Noises of metal breaking apart could be heard. Cracks appeared on the armor while a white radiance came from inside. It shone like the stars in the night sky.
“Pa! Pa! Pa!” More cracks appeared on the iron man’s body as light gushed out. He looked like an unpolished piece of jade being taken out from a rock. This light made others celebrate joyfully!
“Feng Daniu is not dead! He’s returning from the clutches of death with a vitality like the rising sun.”
“Could he be the 12th Grand Historical Genius?”
“Damn! So unbelievable!”
The crowd heated up even more this time compared to Yan Ziyu’s revelation because they were watching it with their own eyes.
Yan Ziyu made another play and smiled at the scholar: “The battle today is only just beginning, I wonder if the new talents from the heretical schools will be able to stop him?”
The scholar made his move and heartily laughed: “Haha! Feng… Daniu is not a good person. I worry for the ten prettiest girls of the heretical schools!”
Their laughter echoed as they played chess under the apricot tree.
