The visitor was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he chuckled and said, "I won't go against a junior. If he has the ability, he can naturally join the Hongwu Academy."
Although the arrival of Emperor Wu was somewhat beyond Yang Qi's expectations, Yang Qi quickly guessed his identity. He was the Emperor Wu of Hongwu Academy.
Generally speaking, practitioners who are related to the Martial Emperor realm rarely enroll in the Hongwu Academy. When Yang Qi took Tang Guan to the Hongwu Academy to register, I am afraid that they had already been exposed, which led to the Martial Emperor coming to the door.
Yang Qi could guess a little about the other party's intentions. He was just worried that Yang Qi had other intentions in arranging for Tang Guan to enroll in the Hongwu Academy. Therefore, he did not hide the reason why he could not accept Tang Guan as his disciple.
Yang Qi looked at the cultivator in front of him and said, "May I ask what your Taoist friend is..."
"Hongwu Academy, Wang Sheng." The visitor looked at Yang Qi and continued, "Daoyou is..."
He was also very curious about Yang Qi's background, otherwise he would not have come to visit him in person.
"Yang Qi, a Martial Emperor passing by." Yang Qi smiled calmly and continued, "There is still some time before the end of the re-examination. How about we taste wine while waiting for the results?"
"Okay!" Wang Sheng nodded slightly.
The two of them were tasting fine wine in the restaurant while waiting for the retest to end. Through some of the fine wines Yang Qi brought out, Wang Sheng was completely sure that Yang Qi was not a practitioner of the Hongxing Dynasty, and he was indeed passing by. Because many of the fine wines Yang Qi brought out were famous wines from other star regions, and some were even more than ten star regions away from the Hongxing Dynasty. If Wang Sheng was not at the Martial Emperor level, he probably wouldn't know the origins of those fine wines.
The re-examination is still going on, and the first test has finally ended. Only less than half of the practitioners are left to participate in the re-examination.
Wang Sheng's eyes fell on Tang Guan in the projection, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said, "This boy's talent and potential in swordsmanship are indeed not low."
As a powerful Martial Emperor, even though he had only seen Tang Guan through a projection and had never actually met him, he could still see Tang Guan's extraordinary skills in swordsmanship.
"He does resemble me back then." Yang Qi smiled and continued, "Before I met him, his master was a low-level Martial Emperor."
Um
After these words were spoken, Wang Sheng's expression changed slightly. A low-level Martial Emperor who is a casual cultivator
The foundation of independent cultivators is not as good as that of practitioners from big forces. Tang Guan followed a independent cultivator master and was able to achieve such success. Wang Sheng's evaluation of him naturally improved a lot.
Wang Sheng took a sip of the wine and chuckled, "No wonder Brother Yang is so confident in him. I am actually looking forward to his performance in the next two tests."
Um
Yang Qi was stunned. He paid so much attention to Tang Guan because Tang Guan had similar experiences to him and had practiced with him for a while. Even though Wang Sheng had some doubts about Tang Guan's identity before, it was obviously abnormal that he was paying so much attention to Tang Guan now.
Wang Sheng seemed to see what Yang Qi was thinking, and smiled slightly, "To be honest, I am good at fire."
I see!
After hearing what Wang Sheng said, Yang Qi also understood that Wang Sheng in front of him wanted to take Tang Guan as his disciple. After all, he also knew that Tang Guan was good at the art of fire, just like Wang Sheng.
"His talent and potential in the way of fire are quite good, but his talent in the way of sword is even higher." Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
Wang Sheng heard this but didn't take it seriously and said, "I am also a sword practitioner."
Practitioners who use swords are different from those who practice the way of swordsmanship. Just like Emperor Wu Shi also uses a sword, but his understanding of the way of swordsmanship is not that high.
"Then I hope he can catch the king's eye." Yang Qi said with a smile.
Although Wang Sheng was not a practitioner of the sword path, with his martial emperor realm, he was more than capable of teaching Tang Guan. In addition, Tang Guan and the Luo family had a grudge. Even if Tang Guan enrolled in the Hongwu Academy, the Luo family would probably not give up. Yang Qi would leave soon and could not protect Tang Guan forever. If Tang Guan could enroll in the martial emperor realm, the Luo family would definitely not dare to provoke Tang Guan again, which would be a good thing for Tang Guan.
Hearing this, Wang Sheng smiled calmly and said, "That depends on his performance next."
Tang Guan's performance was good, but it did not meet Wang Sheng's standards for accepting him as a disciple. However, there were still two tests to come. If Tang Guan performed well, he would not mind giving Tang Guan a chance.
The second test is one’s mind and character. Practitioners who have passed the first test will enter into an illusion and rely on themselves to break through the illusion, only then will they be considered to have passed the test.
Tang Guan's performance did not disappoint Yang Qi. He easily broke through the illusion and passed the second test.
Wang Sheng raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "You have a strong desire to kill."
It is a good performance for a cultivator to be decisive in killing, but too much is as bad as too little. Tang Guan's performance was obviously a bit too much, so Wang Sheng said that Tang Guan's murderous intention was a bit strong.
Hearing Wang Sheng's words, Yang Qi couldn't help but explain, "His master was killed by other practitioners for treasures. When I first met him, he had just passed the preliminary selection, but was led into the void by his enemies and ambushed and killed. If I hadn't happened to pass by, he would probably have died, but he also missed the opportunity to go to Hongxing City for the re-examination. It was only because I brought him here that he was able to catch up with the re-examination."
With his eyesight, he could see that although Tang Guan passed the test of illusion, his performance was not perfect. Practitioners with too strong killing intentions are easily led astray, but Yang Qi, who knew Tang Guan's experience, knew that Tang Guan's performance was actually normal.
"Um?"
Wang Sheng's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He said in a deep voice, "How dare you surround and kill the practitioners who passed the preliminary selection? Do you think the rules of my Hongwu Academy are just for show?"
Knowing that Yang Qi was just passing through the Hongxing Dynasty, Wang Sheng naturally had no doubts about his words. The Hongxing Dynasty had clear rules for recruiting disciples, and practitioners who passed the preliminary selection were protected by the royal family. Now someone ambushed and killed Tang Guan, ignoring the rules set by the Hongwu Academy. How could he not be angry
“Brother Wang, don’t be angry. The empire is so big that there are bound to be some parasites.” Yang Qi said indifferently.
The Hongxing Dynasty has existed for countless years and controls a vast territory. How could it possibly enforce discipline? Not to mention the Hongxing Dynasty, even the Tianwu Sect, after a period of development, has disciples who bully others by taking advantage of their power.
Hearing Yang Qi's words, Wang Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Yang."
As a powerful warrior at the Martial Emperor level, Wang Sheng naturally understood this truth. However, if such a thing happened to be seen by outsiders, it would inevitably make people feel embarrassed, which was also the reason why Wang Sheng was angry.
"So, this boy is a man of character." Wang Sheng smiled. (To be continued)
