My whole family are full of geniuses, I really don't want to be a succubus!

"Junior brother's talent is so high, he must come from a family with profound learning!"

"I see that my junior brother is a man of exceptional talent and will undoubtedly become a pillar of our Falling Clouds Immortal Sect in the future!"

"These two senior brothers have already become disciples at such a young age; they are truly exceptional individuals, rare in this world!"

At the top of the cliff, Su Yi and his two disciples were exchanging compliments. How could cultivators who had never even stepped out of their sects compare to Su Yi, who had been practicing his talking skills for years?

Before long, Su Yi had raved about the two of them, describing them as rare talents, blessed by heaven, dragons hidden in the abyss, and butterflies lying on silk...

Moreover, he spoke with such conviction that for a moment, the two disciples felt that they were exactly as Su Yi had described.

"boom!"

A tremendous sound rang out from below, followed by the sound of countless stones rolling to the ground, and the screams of countless people!

Just as they were starting to feel that they might be the personal disciples of a once-in-a-millennium genius, the two disciples instantly snapped out of Su Yi's boasting.

The two exchanged a glance, and just as they were about to make a move, a figure in white flew up from the edge of the cliff and landed lightly in front of Su Yi and the other two, like a white butterfly.

With his signature harmless smile on his face, Gu Wanquan bowed slightly to Su Yi and said, "Senior brother, I have successfully completed my mission!"

Upon hearing Gu Wanquan's words, Su Yi's face immediately fell.

The last time someone said that was when the mute demon lord instantly killed those two unlucky Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!

Damn it, whenever these geniuses say that, they're definitely trying to shift the blame onto me!

The two disciples, looking at Gu Wanquan with furrowed brows, asked, "What happened at the cliff?"

Having reached the top of the cliff, Gu Wanquan was somewhat exhausted, but upon hearing the inquiries from his two disciples, he forced himself to stay alert and said somewhat abruptly, "I must inform you, my two senior brothers, that during my climb, I accidentally overexerted myself and damaged some of the cliff face. Please forgive me!"

  

Hearing Gu Wanquan's words, the two disciples were relieved. One of them casually comforted him, "There's no rule against damaging the cliff face. It's nothing serious. Being able to climb to the top is your skill!"

Gu Wanquan nodded with a smile, as if he had been reassured by the other party's words!

Seeing Gu Wanquan, whose true energy was clearly depleted and whose face was somewhat pale, Su Yi's first reaction was that something was wrong!

Could this cunning worm have killed all the inner disciples at the bottom of the cliff?

But then I thought, Gu Wanquan shouldn't be that stupid. If he did something like that, even if he were the chosen one by Heaven, he wouldn't escape being annihilated today!

Su Yi walked over to Gu Wanquan, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Wanquan, what were you doing down there?"

Gu Wanquan smiled, but his tone held a hint of regret as he said, "I'm afraid not many of my fellow disciples will pass this martial arts exam!"

"???"

Su Yi and her disciple walked to the edge of the cliff with question marks on their faces and looked down. What they saw immediately made Su Yi's jaw drop.

The cliff face, which was originally smooth and at a 90-degree right angle, now looked as if it had been sliced ​​diagonally by something, turning it from 90 degrees to 60 degrees!

A huge cliff face appeared in front of the three of them, which was seventy or eighty feet high from the bottom to the lowest point of the cliff!

On the cliff face, seventy or eighty feet above the ground, the eighth fiery barrier instantly burst into flames along the cliff, the fire cascading downwards and transforming into a waterfall of fire.

Below the cliff, countless people were jumping up and down, cursing and screaming, staring in shock at the precipice that looked as if it had been cleaved into an insurmountable chasm by a god.

The people at the bottom of the cliff were also completely bewildered. They had been climbing just a moment ago, and suddenly the cliff face collapsed into rubble. If they weren't all cultivators...

They would probably be turned into piles of minced meat by now!

Even so, quite a few people suffered minor injuries.

Because of the existence of the Flame Falls, not to mention that the cliff face is gone, there is no way to climb it anymore!

Upon seeing the horrific scene below, the two disciples, without even bothering to find the culprit, immediately rushed down the cliff to investigate.

Su Yi squatted down on the cliff top and looked down. She glanced at Gu Wanquan, who was still smiling, and then realized with surprise that Gu Wanquan had broken through to the third level of Foundation Establishment at some point!

"When did you break through?" Su Yi asked in surprise.

Gu Wanquan said nonchalantly, "It was just a feeling I had while climbing the cliff!"

I don't believe you for a second!

Is the chosen one of this version really that unreasonable? Breaking through so easily, does he mean he's been holding back his cultivation level all this time?

Su Yi rolled her eyes and, looking at the commotion below, asked, "Was it really necessary to make such a big fuss?"

For the sake of a monthly exam, he slashed off a cliff with a single sword!

This version of the hero is truly decisive and ruthless!

"That way we can guarantee that my senior brother will get first place in the written exam, and I'll get first place in the martial arts exam!" Gu Wanquan replied with a smile.

Looking at the waterfall of flames cascading vertically below, Su Yi clicked her tongue and asked, "How did you know that this sword strike would trigger the fire-based formation in the level to go berserk?"

Gu Wanquan smiled and shook his head, saying, "It was just a coincidence. I originally planned to wait at the ninety-foot mark, eliminating them one by one, but this fiery waterfall saved me that trouble!"

Looking at Gu Wanquan's smiling and modest demeanor, Su Yi didn't know how much of it was true.

However, having made such a huge blunder in the martial arts exam, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the sect!

Just as Gu Wanquan was being modest, his two disciples flew to the top of the cliff and glared at him fiercely.

Because of Gu Wanquan, no one was able to climb to the top of the cliff for this martial arts exam.

Then, bowing to Su Yi, he said, "Junior Brother Su, I'm afraid we can't cover this up anymore; we have no choice but to report it to the sect!"

Great! Quick, let's give this cunning spicy snack a good beating!

Su Yi was secretly delighted, but with a troubled expression, she cupped her hands to her two disciples and said, "Junior Brother Gu has committed such a grave mistake, I know I cannot hide it. I beg you two senior brothers to put in a good word for him!"

Su Yi sighed, feigning concern for her junior brother, but inwardly she was overjoyed.

Even if you, Gu Wanquan, were hanging, wouldn't you still be at the third level of Foundation Establishment?

If a sect leader in the Integration Stage asks you to stand at ease, do you dare to stand at attention?

Just as Su Yi was maliciously speculating about how Gu Wanquan would be punished by the sect...

The two disciples gave Gu Wanquan a strange look, then looked at Su Yi in shock.

After I reported what Gu Wanquan had done to the sect, the sect quickly replied:

"The sect rules don't specify this, but grades are counted. Both students passed this monthly exam!"

Inside the main hall, the sect leader and the elders were practically fighting tooth and nail over Gu Wanquan's fate. How could they bear to punish him?

They would only think that Gu Wanquan was indeed worthy of being the disciple they had chosen, as he actually had such strength!

The two direct disciples were unaware of the intricacies within the main hall, and they did not believe that the sect was being lenient with Gu Wanquan because of his exceptional talent.

Even though Gu Wanquan's Foundation Establishment stage strength was enough to destroy the cliff face over such a large area.

The two people who did not see Gu Wanquan take action believed that Gu Wanquan had only used some tricks to destroy such a large section of the cliff.

Otherwise, it couldn't have been this white-clad youth who cleaved it in two with a single sword strike, could it?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! Even someone at the Golden Core stage would find it difficult to do something like this!

So Gu Wanquan is at best a genius, but what Luoxia Peak has the least shortage of is geniuses!

There are many geniuses, but very few people with connections!

The only reason the sect could handle it so easily is because this Junior Brother Su's influence extends to those close to him!

At this moment, the two of them felt that Su Yi's background was becoming increasingly powerful, as if they had accidentally entered the imperial family!

"Just because he has a good relationship with this Junior Brother Su, he can so easily gloss over such a serious matter?!"
