Chapter 25: The dazzling spring light
"Is he Fang Yuan or Fang Zheng?" Some students muttered; there were still people who could not tell the difference between Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng, two twin brothers.
“This Fang Zheng. Fang Yuan always put on a cold expression, he will never look tense, ” replied someone.
“Oh, then there will be a spectacle. After all, Fang Zheng was the only A-class talent from our village in three years. ” Crowds set their sights on the field.
Fang Zheng could feel the pressure between the gazes that were pointing at him, and this made him feel even more nervous. Standing on the stage, his fingers trembled slightly.
He threw out his first moon sword, initially intending to aim at the grass puppet's chest. But because of tension, he missed – in the end moonblade printed on the neck area of the grass doll.
The young teenagers immediately let out a small sound of surprise.
They thought Fang Zheng was doing it on purpose. Instead of aiming for the easiest place which is the chest of the doll, she instead went to the neck of – this is a great show of confidence towards her own attacking skills.
They could not help but look forward to Fang Zheng's next move. However Gu Yue Mo Bei and Gu Yue Chi Cheng had low skin complexion.
Only those among the fields who could see Fang Zheng's fault were the academy's elder and Fang Yuan.
“How dangerous!” Looking at the moonblade, Fang Zheng exclaimed in his heart while secretly feeling lucky. He took a few deep breaths, trying his best to calm down. Then he threw out two blades. This time he did nothing wrong, and both of his blades hit the grass puppet's chest precisely.
This result made the academy elders nod, and Mo Bei and Chi Cheng also calmed down. Fang Zheng's results were different from theirs, so everything depended on how the academy's elders decided to judge them.
Other students cast a vote *******. Fang Zheng's subsequent appearance was unattractive, making them feel a little disappointed.
The next few groups are also not interesting. No one could perform better than Mo Bei, Chi Cheng and Fang Zheng. The kids started whispering.
"At this level, the top scorer in today's scoring should be among the three of them."
“The three of them managed to hit the grass puppet, I wonder who will be considered better by the academy elders.”
“Wait, this is the last group. Fang Yuan's up."
"Oh, that 'cold genius' C-class talent? Hehehe.”
Just when it was the last group, Fang Yuan finally took the stage.
“That Fang Yuan ...” Gu Yue Mo Bei raised his head and looked at Fang Yuan for a moment, then he lowered his eyes without a care.
“Last time you were really lucky, picked the weak-willed Moonlight Gu by accident and got number one. Let's see how you look this time!” Gu Yue Chi Cheng hugged his arm, waiting to see Fang Yuan humiliate himself.
“Kakak... This time will not be like the last. I've trained so hard for so long, I can definitely surpass you. ” Among the crowd, Gu Yue Fang Zheng pursed his lips, involuntarily clenching his fists tightly.
Earlier in the assessment to refine Gu vitals, he as someone with class A talent actually got second place. Of course he's not happy with this. Moreover, after he understood that Fang Yuan could win and get the number one due to sheer luck, this made him even more dissatisfied. To Gu Yue Fang Zheng, the victory over his own elder brother, Fang Yuan, had a special and great meaning.
Many gazes gathered on Fang Yuan, and the eyes of the academy elders were also fixed on him. Fang Yuan made no emotions; his expression was cold and detached.
He stood still, primordial essence flowing into Moonlight Gu in the heart of his palm. With a wound in the air, he attacked the first moonblade.
This moonblade was flying very high. It not only passed through the head of the grass puppet, but also flew over the bamboo wall. It lasted for nearly fifteen meters before the light became dim and disappeared into thin air.
"Grff ..." One cannot help laughing.
"It's too outrageous, isn't it." Someone sneered.
“He is a genius. No wonder he managed to get number one in refining Gu. ” Others spoke cynically.
Many of them are waiting to see a 'good show'. They waited to see Fang Yuan who was a 'genius' revealing an embarrassing action, and this moon sword of his did not disappoint them.
Waves of laughter swept through the crowd.
The academy elder shook his head slightly, secretly laughing at himself. Why should he care so much about Fang Yuan for no reason? He was only C class and only the boys got number one in refining Gu due to sheer luck.
In his heart he made his decision. Even though Mo Bei, Chi Cheng and Fang Zheng's results were the same, he would still choose Fang Zheng as number one.
The war between Gu Yue Mo Bei and Gu Yue Chi Cheng was the epitome of the political struggle between the two most powerful elders in the clan. The academy elder had always remained in the middle and had no intention of entering the middle of the political vortex.
The academy elders leaned more towards the clan head Gu Yue Bo, and Fang Zheng was a set with the clan leader. Add in the fact that he had A-grade talent, choosing him as number one meant showing a biased treatment for him, and that was something acceptable to the authority over the clan.
A warm spring breeze blew, the fragrance of flowers drifted to the training ground. Sunlight shone on Fang Yuan's body, sending a desolate black shadow onto the ground.
His expression was still cold as he silently stared at the grass puppet ten meters away. The moon sword in his palm emitted a faint blue light.
Of course, he deliberately threw out the first moonblade. At the moment he only has two chances left to act. Considering the position of the academy elder, in order to obtain number one he would have to create a result that exceeded everyone's expectations in the next two attacks.
“With only two chances left to attack, it was impossible. Brother, I finally won you. ” Gu Yue Fang Zheng's eyes did not blink as he stared at Fang Yuan. From young to old, the shadow of life that her elder brother had brought to her finally faded away slowly at this moment.
Fang Zheng could feel the victory so close. His two fists involuntarily clenched tightly, his entire body so full of excitement that he trembled slightly.
“Sister, my victory this time is just the beginning. Furthermore, I will continue to win you over and over again until I cast all the shadows in my heart. I will prove to the clan, the superiority of an A grade talent genius! ” Fang Zheng said to himself in his heart.
But at this moment, Fang Yuan acted. The palm of his right hand was like a knife, splitting the void.
With a sharp tearing sound, the watery blue light enveloped in his palm was thrown out. It flew through the air, turning into a curved blue moon sword, shooting towards the grass puppet.
In just the next second Fang Yuan's right palm lit up again in a layer of blue light. He flipped his palm and shot out a third moon sword. These two attacks connected seamlessly like flowing water; it was a seamless combination.
The two blades of the moon were flying rapidly, the distance between the two blades was less than half a meter in the air. Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, the two moon swords accurately struck the neck of the grass puppet.
"This ..." Fang Zheng's pupils shrank, a bad feeling emerged from his heart. In the next moment, the students slowly opened their mouths wide as they put on astonished expressions.
They saw the grass puppet's head slowly tilted to one side, then fell down from the neck and fell to the ground. With reflections, it rolled two to three meters.
Fang Yuan had decapitated the puppet!
This result had exceeded the expectations of everyone on the field.
"Is this luck or skill?" The academy elder frowned. This doubt floated in the hearts of the other students. For a time, the entire training ground became silent.
"How can this be ..." murmured Fang Zheng. He stared at Fang Yuan blankly, the surging emotions in his heart instantly falling, falling far to the lowest point.
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes, acting as if he was oblivious to the gazes falling on him from the crowd.
Cake, cake…
Under the blue sky and white clouds, a group of peacock parrots suddenly flapped their wings and flew through the air. They dragged their beautiful peacock tails, long and slender, clucking in the air as they flew playfully.
Fang Yuan stood in the middle of the training field, looking up. Under the bright sunlight, the multicolored feathers of birds are increasingly dazzling and beautiful. His expression was indifferent, as if the person who had just cut the grass puppet's head was not himself.
"Ah, the light of spring is truly dazzling.." He breathed in his heart.
