REVEREND INSANITY
Chapter 20: The elders of the academy are speechless

The great joy he felt did not take over his mind; he quickly calmed down and began to consider the consequences that the Spring Autumn Cricket would bring to him:

“Cicada Autumn Spring Capability is rebirth. But right now he is at his weakest, when I use him, he will die. However it is still Gu Rank six, so I can actually use its aura. It won't damage his body.”

“Hee hee hee.” After he finished pondering, he closed his mind and opened his eyes. Liquor worm floated in front of him, shivering amidst the green copper primordial essence like smoke surrounding him.

Previously for wanting a chance to survive, desperation made the Liquor worm risk everything in one throw. But in the end his desire was easily defeated by the aura of Spring Autumn Cicada. Because of this he suffered a heavy blow, his current strength was not even 1% of his original desire.

“Cicada Spring Autumn.” With a simple thought, Fang Yuan released a hint of the aura of the Cricket Autumn Spring. This aura suppressed the body of the Liquor worm; the Liquor worm immediately stood still, motionless like a dead creature. The scattered one would feel the aura of the Spring Autumn Cicada; like a rat hitting a cat, he was terrified. It shrunk into a ball and was too afraid to move in the slightest.

Fang Yuan laughed and took the opportunity to mobilize the primordial essence. At first when he tried to use the green copper primeval essence to refine it, the Liquor worm's will fought back fiercely, so that it could only grow with great difficulty little by little. But at this moment Fang Yuan's green copper primordial essence drove straight, flowing profusely without a fight. There's no obstacle at all.

The green copper color on the surface of the Liquor worm develops rapidly. In a few blinks, the Liquor worm that was once pearly white turned green.

The general situation had passed; the last remnant of Liquor's worm will was finally swept away easily by Fang Yuan's will, dissolving into nothingness.

With that, the Liquor worm was completely refined!

Compared to the start where Fang Yuan had to endure hardships like trampling mountains and crossing ravines, the refining process was now as easy as swallowing saliva.

A kind of mysterious and friendly feeling connected the worms Liquor and Fang Yuan together. The delicate Liquor Worm was like a part of Fang Yuan – If Fang Yuan told him to curl up, it would curl up; if he told him to roll into a ball, it would roll into a round little dumpling. The feeling was like moving his own finger.

Fang Yuan took back his ancient essence, and the Liquor worm returned to its plump and white state. Then with a leap, he passed through thin air and fell into the middle of Fang Yuan's hole. While inside, the Liquor worm flies far around the drifting Autumn Cricket Spring and enters the ancient sea of green copper. At sea level the Liquor worm stretched its body arbitrarily; it would sometimes twist its fat waist, looking comfortable as if it were bathing in a hot shower.

“With Autumn Spring Crickets, my plans should change.” Fang Yuan gathered his thoughts from the hole and took out Moonlight Gu. He repeated what he had done before: Letting out a hint of the aura of Cicada Autumn Spring, suppressing it on Moonlight Gu.

As he sensed the aura of Cicada Autumn Spring, Moonlight Gu's desire immediately gave up, his enormous fear could only infiltrate the furthest corners of his own body.

Fang Yuan's ancient essence flowed in. In the blink of an eye, Moonlight Gu was dyed in jade green. Finally with just a simple thought, Moonlight Gu's will was easily strangled.

Upon completion, he took back his ancient essence and Moonlight Gu returned to his original, semi-transparent, blue crystal form. He put away Moonlight Gu; it did not enter his aperture, but directly fell onto his forehead, forming a pale blue crescent moon mark in the middle of his eyebrows.

The entire process of refining Moonlight Gu from start to finish did not take more than five minutes. Comparing the start of his difficult refining process to the current situation, his speed was fast and created a sharp contrast.

Not only was it extremely fast, the consumption of the primordial essence was also very little.

Over the past few days, Fang Yuan had consumed six pieces of ancient stones just to purify the Liquor worm. But tonight, while Fang Yuan could see the primordial seabed in his crack, he did not use a single stone.

“Ha ha, with the Spring Autumn Cricket in hand, it is as easy as having the help of a god! After today all I need to do is use his aura to suppress, any Gu ranked one will be easily refined. Even though I only have C-class talent, I don't need to borrow the help of ancient stones. Differences then and now like heaven and earth.”

Fang Yuan's mood was overjoyed. Right now the situation was like pushing the fog and clouds to look at the blue sky.

Although the Autumn Spring Cricket was at its weakest point, it was still Gu Rank six. A fallen tiger still left a threat; a festering ship still had three pounds of spikes (1). Just relying on his aura, Fang Yuan's cultivation from today onwards would receive a great driving force.

At this moment, the moon outside the window was bright and the stars were few. The moonlight flowed through the window, shining on Fang Yuan's face.

With a thought, the Spring Autumn Cricket disappeared from sight and disappeared once again, returning to its deep sleep. Then he called out to the worm Liquor and hid it in the corner of his bed. This was to prevent unnecessary academy examinations.

Fifteen minutes later, at the clan academy.

The academy elder had long since gone to sleep, but in his dream he could faintly hear the sound of someone knocking on the door. He was awakened by that voice and he opened his eyes, somewhat displeased. "Who's out there in the middle of the night?"

Instantly a voice replied in a respectful tone, “Report to the old master! This was the student of this year's class; he had already finished refining Moonlight Gu. You have instructed your subordinates before to report to you once the first name appears, no matter what time it is. ”

"Yes ... It's true it happened." The academy elder frowned, and then he got off his bed. As he put on his robe, he asked, “Which student got number one this year? Is that Gu Yue Fang Zheng?”

Subordinate outside the door replied, “It looks like so. When I heard the news, I rushed here to tell you about it, Sir. It seems that someone from the Fang family branch. ”

"Hehe, counting the time, it might be him." The academy elder laughed lightly, confidently saying, “Who else besides A-grade talent geniuses? All those B-class talented students would still be worse off even with the help of ancient stones. Or why did the level of cultivation talent become so important? ”

As he said this, he pushed the door open and out. Outside the door, his subordinates respectfully bowed, moving back two steps. "Master's right," he echoed.

In the hall, about ten candles lit up together, illuminating the hall. The man who received Fang Yuan had already cleared up all doubts by now. Under the bright light of the candle flame, his face showed a shocked expression. “Wait, what did you just say? You are called Gu Yue Fang Yuan, not Gu Yue Fang Zheng?”

Fang Yuan nodded. At this moment the elder walked in from the entrance. Fang Yuan and the man stood up and turned around to greet.

When the academy elder saw Fang Yuan, his face was full of smiles. He stepped up and stood in front of Fang Yuan, patting his shoulders in a friendly manner. “You did well, Gu Yue Fang Zheng, you did not disappoint me. You are indeed a talent of class A – genius! All of your Class B, Class C friends will never be able to compare to you no matter how hard they try. Ha ha ha."

Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng were twin brothers; their outer appearance was akin to a mistake. Even the academy elders were wrong.

Fang Yuan was neither haughty nor humble. He took a step back, leaving his shoulders free from the hands of the academy elders. He looked at the academy elder, his hands folded behind his back. Then he said with a thin smile, “Master elder, you are wrong. I am Gu Yue Fang Yuan, Gu Yue Fang Zheng is my younger brother.”

"Huh?" The academy elder opened his mouth slightly, his expression shocked. He glared at Fang Yuan doubtfully, his eyebrows turning into wrinkles. After a few breaths, he finally spoke. "You're Gu Yue Fang Yuan?"

"Right Sir," Fang Yuan replied.

"You've perfected Moonlight Gu?" The academy elder was greatly shocked. Both of his eyes stared intently at Fang Yuan's scythe mark on his forehead. His eyes shone; he asked the obvious.

“Indeed, that's the problem,” Fang Yuan said.

"Then, you're the first of your group?" The academy elder asked a stupid question, but he was not entirely at fault. After all, this situation was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

One should know that he has been in charge of the academy for decades and is very experienced. He had seen talented C class students competing for number one before this, but never so fast. Not to mention in this batch there were peers with class A and B talents.

"If no one is earlier than me ..." Fang Yuan pretended to think hard, then he rubbed his nose and continued, "Then it seems like that."

Academy elder: “.....”.

(1) This means that even if damaged/damaged it can still be used.
