C178 A Mutated Beast with a Single Horn the Cloud Chasing Horse
Nie Zhen's words shocked all of the disciples present. They didn't expect Nie Zhen to be so unassuming, to be able to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat, and what he said wasn't sharing his experience in martial arts cultivation or responding to enemies on the spot, but talking about the general direction of Duobao Sect's development strategy the moment he opened his mouth.
Ever since he entered the Duobao Sect, he felt that the disciples in the Duobao Sect were extremely competitive in nature, but this competition was always limited to the battles within the sect. The scope of vision was too low, and the structure was too small, this and the disciples in the Duobao Sect were never to leave, so there was no sense of danger in his heart, and it was inseparable.
In fact, even Nie Zhen felt that, in the depths of his heart, even the masters of the school heads didn't feel particularly threatened. Even though the school heads, Duan Rong, and the others had very high standards, they still lacked awareness of danger. They seemed to have gotten used to the comfortable cultivation environment.
If a sect lacked a sense of crisis, it was a very scary thing. They would settle down in their hearts, and if they encountered unexpected situations in the future, they wouldn't be able to respond in time.
If it was before, Nie Zhen would not say these words, after all, the direction of Duobao Sect was not something he could casually say, and even if the Duobao Sect were to go downhill, Nie Zhen would not pay too much attention to it.
However, things were different now. Nie Zhen found out from the Alchemist Divine King that the Alien Devil, a foreign race, was hiding in this Eternal Continent. This race was extremely destructive.
Even though Nie Zhen was reincarnated into the Everlasting Continent, he was still a person of the Everlasting Continent after all, not to mention that his family and friends were also on this continent. Thus, Nie Zhen had always hoped that the cultivation sects on this continent still had a sense of crisis, because he would never be able to predict when the Alien Devil's calamity would break out.
If it was a sect that had nothing to do with him, Nie Zhen naturally wouldn't waste this kind of effort, but he still had a sense of belonging to the Duobao Sect, furthermore, Master Duan Rong was very protective of him, if he could make a statement and change the Duobao Sect, at least the sect masters would receive some attention, Nie Zhen would be happy to do so too.
Nie Zhen's words caused Duan Rong to fall into silence. Even Duan Rong had to admit that Nie Zhen's words made a lot of sense.
After a long while, Duan Rong let out a long sigh, and comforted Nie Zhen: "Nie Zhen, master is very glad, you being able to enter the Duobao Sect, is perhaps due to the luck of the Duobao Sect, what you said just now is very logical, and it even makes me think back to when I was young, the path of cultivation was filled with danger and excitement, and at that time, my cultivation progress was also very fast.
Nie Zhen was silent. He had said whatever he wanted to say, but as for how much his master could accept, that was not something he could control.
Duan Rong was deep in thought for a while and then nodded his head, "Consciousness of danger... Nie Zhen, the question that you have raised is extremely sharp, fortunately you mentioned it, otherwise, my Duobao Sect might really be like what you said in the future. It might not even be possible to walk downhill, so I have to discuss this matter with Great Sect Master as soon as possible.
Then, Duan Rong laughed and said, "But don't be discouraged, this sense of crisis is a general consciousness and is not something that can be solved in a short period of time. Also, the top ten disciples in this year's annual assessment will probably have a training field waiting for you in the near future."
After all, this year's annual assessment has already passed, so don't be too persistent about your results. Think about the sense of danger that you Junior Brother Nie mentioned, and don't focus on the outcome before you. Okay, those kids outside are still waiting for you.
After finishing the conversation with the core disciples, Duan Rong stood up and brought the core disciples to the Yuqing Hall area.
"Disciples, I believe you all also have many questions to consult with your senior brothers and sisters, so I'll hand the rest of the time over to you all. But you all must remember to follow the rules and not mess around, and also must not stare at certain disciples for guidance, lest you miss the time of your senior brothers, do you remember?" Duan Rong said seriously.
"Disciple obeys!" The disciples in the audience received their orders.
Otherwise, with Nie Zhen and Soong Dong'er's reputation, most of the disciples would definitely rush up to them, which would inevitably embarrass the other core disciples. This kind of thing that would affect the unity of the core disciples was the most taboo thing for Duan Rong.
A group of ordinary and senior disciples went to each of the core disciples to ask their own questions on cultivation. Nie Zhen and the others did not hide any treasures. As long as there were questions within their capabilities, they would share their experiences.
Especially for Nie Zhen, everyone thought that once Nie Zhen became the champion of the Annual Examination, his temper would rise and his attitude would become tough and arrogant.
Who would have thought that Nie Zhen would still have the same attitude as before and not call himself senior brother. His tone of voice towards everyone was also very calm, and he immediately won everyone's goodwill.
Nie Zhen finally returned to his secret room after a whole night of communication with his classmates.
"Young Master Nie, congratulations on becoming the annual examination champion for the Duobao Sect disciples. I heard that you have gone crazy from the outside, and that the news is that we are staying in the secret rooms to cultivate. We rarely walk around in the outside world, and we even heard about it." When Yu Zhenzi saw Nie Zhen return to the secret chamber, he stepped forward and congratulated him.
"Hmm? Your cultivation has increased by a lot? "He actually broke through to the second level of the Sky Realm!" When Nie Zhen saw that Yu Zhenzi and Jue Mingzi had both broken through to the second level of the sky realm, he was also pleasantly surprised.
"It's all thanks to Young Lord's Soaring Pill. Not only did it help us to break through to the Sky Realm, it also greatly improved our foundation, and also helped us cultivate in the Duobao Sect. Our cultivation naturally increased tremendously!" Jue Mingzi also laughed.
Nie Zhen nodded in agreement. This was the difference between geniuses cultivated from Duobao Sect and geniuses trained in the outside world.
Honestly speaking, although Yu Zhenzi and Jue Mingzi's talent were not weak, it was not much different when compared to the disciples in Duobao Sect. In fact, it was even slightly inferior to Qin Wuyan, the chief disciple.
But the birth of Yu Zhenzi and Jue Mingzi determined whether they worked hard or not. They were born with Devil Stone Sect, and even though their Devil Stone Sect was filled with advantages when compared to Subordinate Country, if one looked at the entire Myriad Treasures Empire, their Devil Stone Sect would only be a small sect in the middle levels. The consciousness of the Devil Stone Sect disciples was at least a hundred times higher than that of the Duobao Sect disciples.
For people like Yu Zhenzi, what they lacked was not hard work and diligence, they lacked only an opportunity.
Now, Nie Zhen gave them a chance to cultivate in such a good environment like Duobao Sect. They naturally put their lives on the line because they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to grab hold of this opportunity.
Although the core disciples of the Duobao Sect were also cultivating day and night, they lacked a sense of danger to spur them on, so their cultivation speed was naturally not as fast as Yu Zhenzi's.2
This was the change in training brought about by the awareness of danger!
At this moment, Geng Geng, who had been in closed-door seclusion, let out an extremely powerful aura, which attracted the attention of Nie Zhen and the other two.
Nie Zhen was fine, however, Yu Zhenzi and the other two couldn't control their bodies and started to slowly retreat when faced with Geng Geng's explosive aura.
"Let's quickly leave the secret room!" Nie Zhen shouted. At the same time, he picked up the two of them and in the blink of an eye, they were already outside the secret room.
Nie Zhen wasn't afraid of Geng Geng's explosive aura, but he knew that once Geng Geng broke through, the aura would definitely hurt Yu Zhenzi and Jue Mingzi, so he quickly brought them out.
"Geng Geng is so powerful!" Just the aura of someone who has broken through to the Heavenly Realm is already so astonishing. I'm afraid that other than Young Lord, no one else in the Duobao Sect would have such strength! " Yu Zhenzi said sincerely.
"There's actually such a thing!" Nie Zhen used his Asura Pupil Technique to investigate the situation inside the secret room. He discovered that when Geng Geng broke through to the sky realm, white wings grew from his back, and on his thick feathers, there were even ancient runes!
"What kind of spirit beast is Geng Geng?!" Nie Zhen was completely sure that Geng Geng wasn't just any ordinary horse. He wasn't even one of the unicorns in the universe.
Although the unicorn race had a horn growing on their head, it was impossible for them to have wings on their backs. At least, Nie Zhen didn't know which race Geng Geng came from in his field of knowledge.
"Phew!" The moment Geng Geng broke through to the Sky Realm, he let out a long howl towards the sky. It was a good thing that he was in a secret room, otherwise, just the howl would have shocked the entire Duobao Sect Mountain Range.
"Hahaha!" Brother Nie, are you surprised or not!? Are you surprised?! " Geng Geng had broken through to the Heavenly Realm. After he finished his closed door cultivation, he opened his eyes and saw Nie Zhen.
"Geng Geng..." You've left me with no idea what to say. Just what race are you … " Nie Zhen couldn't help but exclaim.
"When I broke through to the Sky Realm, I triggered a portion of my inherited memories. It seems that there are no races in my bloodline, only mutated Divine Beast bloodlines. According to my inherited memories, my bloodline is called Single Horned Cloud Chasing Horse." Geng Geng told the truth.
"One horned Cloud Chaser …" Nie Zhen repeated himself and shook his head to show that he had never heard of it.
Mutated Divine Beast s were often bred through the mating of different races and gave birth to a unique bloodline, which made it difficult to determine how strong the bloodline was. Sometimes, a mutated bloodline was exceptionally weak, but sometimes, a mutated bloodline could be excessively strong and full of uncertainty.
The future of Geng Geng depended on his luck.
