Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: You Say He is a Bad Student?

Thud—

In just an instant,

the incomparably strong finger force pierced through the Spiritual Power Palm Print.

And struck Nangong Xiaoyun’s chest.

Crack—

The Heart Protection Mirror she wore shattered instantly, blocking the blow.

...

But the residual force still sent her flying several zhang away.

Always composed You Yunzi’s face stiffened.

He flicked his sleeve and urgently dashed out to catch the falling Nangong Xiaoyun.

Nangong Xiaoyun clutched her aching chest.

Her eyes widened: “She… she learned the Earth-level Finger Technique!”

You Yunzi was even more astonished than she was.

He looked at Jiang Fan in disbelief and murmured: “How is this possible?”

“He actually succeeded in teaching the Heavenly Ruined Finger to Liu Qingxian?”

“In such a short time, how did he comprehend that technique to such an extent?”

The entire audience erupted into deafening shouts.

“Senior Sister Liu… won?”

“Our Green Cloud Sect won!”

“We defeated the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!”

The unexpected victory left them uncontrollably excited.

The disciples of the Green Cloud Sect defeating the first Prodigy of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was an honor unheard of among the other Eight Sects!

The disciples were astonished by the victory.

Liu Wuchen and the elders were shocked by the Finger Technique Liu Qingxian had just displayed!

Feng Guchan couldn’t believe it: “Earth-level Technique? How could it be an Earth-level Technique?”

“Where did she get an Earth-level Technique?”

He couldn’t help but look at Liu Wuchen,

suspecting it was him who taught it.

Who knew, Liu Wuchen’s expression was even more astonished than his.

“Where did Qingxian get an Earth-level Technique?”

“Who taught it to her?”

At this moment,

You Yunzi walked over, his face quite sullen, and said: “Sect Master Liu, you have nurtured your daughter well!”

“Congratulations!”

The first Prodigy of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion actually lost to a disciple of the Green Cloud Sect.

If the news got out, it would really damage the dignity of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

If he had known, he should not have let Nangong Xiaoyun spar.

Liu Wuchen hastily returned the greeting: “Miss Nangong was just being kind.”

You Yunzi indeed felt a bit resentful.

He didn’t think Nangong Xiaoyun lost to Liu Qingxian, but lost to Jiang Fan, that incredibly powerful elder!

Without his guidance, Liu Qingxian couldn’t even break through to the Core Formation Realm.

Let alone defeat Nangong Xiaoyun?

“Sect Master Liu, there’s no need to be modest. Liu Qingxian’s victory is all due to your Elder Jiang.” You Yunzi sighed:

“Having such an elder is a great fortune for your Green Cloud Sect!”

Hmm?

Liu Wuchen was stunned, puzzled: “Elder Jiang?”

“Vice Pavilion Master You, could you be mistaken?”

The Green Cloud Sect had nine elders, and none of them were surnamed Jiang.

Eh?

At this point, not only You Yunzi was dumbfounded.

Nangong Xiaoyun was also stunned.

How could it be wrong?

Jiang Fan was standing right next to Liu Wuchen, wasn’t he?

What mistake was there to make?

Nangong Xiaoyun asked with a bewildered expression: “Then who is he?”

Could it be he wasn’t actually named Jiang Fan, and his surname wasn’t Jiang?

Following her pointed finger, Liu Wuchen looked at Jiang Fan in astonishment.

Although he didn’t know why someone like Nangong Xiaoyun would care about a little disciple like Jiang Fan,

he quickly introduced: “This is my unworthy disciple, Jiang Fan.”

“Jiang Fan, come and pay respects to Miss Nangong.”

“She is the first Prodigy of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, with extraordinary Martial Path talent and superb comprehension.”

“Any guidance from her will benefit you for a lifetime.”

Jiang Fan nodded.

He came before You Yunzi and Nangong Xiaoyun, cupped his fists, and said:

“Vice Pavilion Master You, Miss Nangong.”

“Jiang Fan of the Green Cloud Sect, greets you both.”

Although he had interacted with them before, this was the first formal introduction.

You Yunzi stared dumbfoundedly at Jiang Fan, his eyes vacant.

Nangong Xiaoyun, on the other hand, seemed to suffer a minor brain freeze.

The Elder Jiang who had once slain the Beast King with a single sword, unleashing a sky-shaking Sword Qi!

The Elder Jiang who could summon boundless Spiritual Energy at will, with an incredibly powerful Spirit Root!

The Elder Jiang with heavenly comprehension, who mastered an Earth-level Finger Technique in just a few hours and taught it to Liu Qingxian in half a day!

You’re telling me,

he wasn’t an elder at all,

but merely a disciple of the Green Cloud Sect,

and a… unworthy disciple at that!

Which family’s unworthy disciple could be this extraordinary?

Something seemed stuck in You Yunzi’s throat, and after stammering for a long time, he finally said: “Sect Master Liu.”

“You said… he is an unworthy disciple?”

Liu Wuchen felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.@@novelbin@@

He was extremely unwilling to be asked about Jiang Fan.

This disciple without a Spirit Root was simply his shame.

But since You Yunzi specifically asked, he had no choice but to brace himself and say: “He is indeed an unworthy disciple, offending Vice Pavilion Master You’s eyes.”

Nangong Xiaoyun stood dazed, unable to believe Liu Wuchen’s assessment.

Such an extraordinary disciple, he actually called him unworthy?

She swallowed hard and said: “Sect Master Liu, could there be some misunderstanding?”

Misunderstanding?

Liu Wuchen looked embarrassed and sighed: “Miss Nangong doesn’t know.”

“It is not that I am belittling this disciple, but he truly is unworthy.”

“Because, he is a disciple without a Spirit Root.”

What?

Without a Spirit Root?

The terrifying Spirit Root in the Martial Soul Hall that summoned Spiritual Energy from a radius of several miles, what was that then?

Nangong Xiaoyun opened her mouth to speak: “You… Mmm mmm mmm…”

You Yunzi, his gaze shifting, quickly covered her mouth to stop her from speaking further.

He said to Liu Wuchen: “Sect Master Liu, having disturbed you for many days, we will take our leave now.”

“Please act on the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s notification as soon as possible.”

Liu Wuchen cupped his hands and watched as the two of them left on a flying crane.

They had left the Green Cloud Sect quite a distance.

Nangong Xiaoyun broke free from You Yunzi’s grasp, struggling to catch her breath, she said: “Are you trying to suffocate me?”

“Why didn’t you let me speak?”

You Yunzi, now trembling with excitement, said: “Treasure! We discovered an invaluable treasure!”

“An extraordinary Prodigy with an unparalleled Spirit Root, and Liu Wuchen has the eyes but fails to see, treating him as an unworthy disciple!”

Uh…

Nangong Xiaoyun began to understand why You Yunzi stopped her from questioning further.

“Vice Pavilion Master, are you planning to recruit Jiang Fan under your command?”

You Yunzi exclaimed excitedly: “Of course!”

“Once this Prodigy is nurtured, he will undoubtedly become a dominant figure in the future!”

“It will benefit both me and the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion immensely!”

“As soon as the Beast Tide is resolved, I will immediately find a way to bring him to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!”

Nangong Xiaoyun suddenly understood.

Then quickly asked with some doubt: “But, what if someone else discovers his extraordinary nature?”

Who knows when the Beast Tide will end?

And Jiang Fan is so extraordinary, it would be hard for others not to notice his excellence.

In that case, it wouldn’t necessarily go as You Yunzi wished.

Hearing this, You Yunzi also felt anxious, if this monstrous talent got snatched by someone else, he would be mad and shorten his life by three years!

“Humph! Whoever tries to snatch him, I’ll fight them to the death!” He said fiercely.

Nangong Xiaoyun then asked:

“But, what if it’s Liu Wuchen who discovers him?”

Uh—

You Yunzi was stunned.

Jiang Fan was their disciple, if Liu Wuchen suddenly realized Jiang Fan’s extraordinary nature,

of course, he wouldn’t let go of this disciple.

After pondering for a while, You Yunzi snorted: “So what if he discovers it?”

“Jiang Fan has been treated as an unworthy disciple, what right does he have to continue being his master?”

Hearing that You Yunzi intended to snatch Jiang Fan by force,

Nangong Xiaoyun clicked her tongue.

When the time comes, she wondered how deeply Liu Wuchen would regret it.
