70: Chapter 70 Two Grandmasters Appear!

Outside the arena, Pei Yunshu was also completely stunned!

She had originally thought that Chen An would carefully choose among the four Grandmasters, selecting the path most suitable for himself.

But she never expected that Chen An would actually make such an inconceivable request.

"yuan crystal... is he really that short on yuan crystals?"

Pei Yunshu muttered to herself, her confusion deepening.

She truly could not understand; in the face of a Heaven Rank divine weapon and becoming a Personal Disciple of a powerhouse in the Grandmaster Realm, what did a few yuan crystals even amount to?

Jiang Shaoyu was stunned at first, then burst into wild laughter: "Hahaha! I told you he was a country bumpkin! He has never seen the world! To actually reject a Heaven Rank divine weapon and only want yuan crystals! It's hilarious!"

The middle-aged man beside him did not scold him this time, merely shaking his head and sighing: "What a pity... with such good talent, he's actually a fool!"

In the arena, facing the uproar of the crowd and Headmaster Mo Xuanchen's exasperation, Chen An remained calm.

He looked at Headmaster Mo Xuanchen and said calmly: "Senior Mo, what this Junior lacks most right now are yuan crystals. As for Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, and Heaven Rank divine weapons, this Junior has no use for them for the time being."

"No use for them?!"

Headmaster Mo Xuanchen was so angry he hopped up and down: "You are just a kid in the Qi Condensation Realm, how could you have no use for Earth Rank or Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills? How could you possibly have no use for a Heaven Rank divine weapon?"

"Do you know that with these, you could save yourself at least a hundred years of detours!"

Chen An shook his head slightly, offering no explanation.

He couldn't exactly tell Headmaster Mo Xuanchen that he had no use for them because his System only recognized yuan crystals, could he?!

Who told his System to be such a money-grubber?!

He was also very desperate, okay?!

However, as long as he had yuan crystals, relying on this so-called strongest Pay-to-Win System, he might even be able to break through directly to the Martial Emperor Realm.

If that were the case, with the cultivation of the Martial Emperor Realm, he would stand at the pinnacle of the martial arts pyramid on the Cangyuan Continent.

Then, as for those Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, and Heaven Rank divine weapons, wouldn't he be able to have as many as he wanted?!

Headmaster Mo Xuanchen looked at Chen An's stubborn demeanor, stomping his feet in anger, but was left helpless.

He truly could not bear to let go of such a once-in-a-century genius in the Dao of the blade.

"Fine! Fine! Fine!"

Headmaster Mo Xuanchen took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth: "I agree! All the benefits will be converted into yuan crystals for you!"

"Five million yuan crystals!!!"

"As long as you are willing to join my blade lineage, this master will give you five million yuan crystals a year!"

"However!"

He changed the subject, staring intently at Chen An: "The yuan crystals can be yours, but you must become my Personal Disciple! This condition cannot be changed!"

Upon hearing this, a trace of a smile finally appeared on Chen An's face.

He cupped his hands at Headmaster Mo Xuanchen and said: "In that case, many thanks..."

"Wait!!!"

Before Chen An could finish speaking, a voice as vast as thunder suddenly exploded in mid-air, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

The crowd felt a blur before their eyes, and a white figure appeared out of thin air like a ghost in the arena. His aura was restrained, yet carried a heart-palpitating pressure, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on everyone's hearts.

Upon seeing this person, Headmaster Mo Xuanchen and the others couldn't help but change their expressions.

Because they all recognized the identity of this person.

The Old Ancestor of the Pei Family, a martial arts powerhouse in the Great Grandmaster Realm.

Grandmaster Pei Wendao!!!

"Greetings, Great Grandmaster Pei!" Headmaster Mo Xuanchen and the other three all wore solemn expressions and bowed in salute.

Great Grandmaster!

These two words exploded in the crowd like a thunderclap, and all the students instantly fell silent, not even daring to breathe loudly.

That was a supreme powerhouse of the Great Grandmaster Realm!

Looking across the entire Chengtian Prefecture, those who could reach this Realm could be counted on one hand!

The reason the Pei Family could become one of the only two great martial arts clans in Chengtian Prefecture was entirely due to this Grandmaster Pei Wendao, who had guarded it for a hundred years!

"Old Ancestor?!!!"

Not far away, Pei Yunshu's eyes widened sharply, her pretty face filled with disbelief.

She never expected that the reclusive Old Ancestor of her Family would personally appear for the sake of a new student!

Grandmaster Pei Wendao merely glanced at her indifferently, then fixed his gaze back on Chen An, his tone brooking no argument:

"Ten million!"

"This old man will give you ten million yuan crystals every year, as long as you take this old man as your master and become the closing Disciple of my Pei Family."

After a pause, Grandmaster Pei Wendao immediately threw out another chip that drove the entire audience completely crazy.

"In addition to this, this old man will betroth my great-granddaughter, Pei Yunshu, to you as your wife. Once your cultivation achieves success, we shall hold your wedding."

As his voice fell, there was a deathly silence in front of the Prefectural Academy!

Everyone was stunned!

Ten million yuan crystals a year!

It was double the price offered by Headmaster Mo Xuanchen! And he was also going to marry off the Pei Family's direct descendant, Pei Yunshu, one of the ten great beauties of Chengtian Prefecture, to him!

This was not just taking on a Disciple; it was practically tying the entire future of the Pei Family to Chen An!

"He's crazy... Great Grandmaster Pei has gone crazy too..."

"To think he would even be willing to offer up a direct descendant of the Family for a new student in the Qi Condensation Realm!"

"What kind of incredible luck does this Chen An have! First, four Grandmasters were fighting over him, and now even a Great Grandmaster has personally come out!"

The students were completely numb, and in their eyes looking at Chen An, jealousy was practically overflowing.

Jiang Shaoyu's face was as pale as paper; the Family background he was so proud of was worth nothing in front of the Pei Family.

Pei Yunshu's face instantly flushed red, both from shame and anger, and her eyes turned red.

She bit her lip hard, looking at the young man in the arena, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She had once looked down on him so much, but now, she had become the gift the Old Ancestor was using to win him over.

Headmaster Mo Xuanchen was stomping his feet in anxiety, but he dared not confront Grandmaster Pei Wendao directly.

He was only in the Late Stage of the Grandmaster Realm; in front of a Great Grandmaster, he had absolutely no power to fight back.

He could only watch Chen An eagerly, praying in his heart that Chen An would not agree.

Everyone's gaze focused once again on Chen An.

In everyone's eyes, faced with such a great Opportunity, surely no one would refuse.

However, Chen An frowned. Looking at Grandmaster Pei Wendao, whose tone was calm yet implicitly domineering, he was just about to speak when another voice rang out.

"Brother Pei, coming to my Prefectural Academy to snatch someone, you have gone too far!"

A cold, steady voice slowly drifted out from the depths of the Prefectural Academy gates, unhurried yet carrying a majesty that shook the entire scene.

Before the words had even faded, an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a black Confucian robe, stepped slowly out of the academy gates.

His pace was composed, his aura completely restrained and unfathomable; he was clearly another bona fide powerhouse of the Great Grandmaster Realm!

"Headmaster!"

Headmaster Mo Xuanchen and the group of Grandmasters quickly composed their expressions, bowing in unison with utmost respect.

Grandmaster Pei Wendao's expression sank slightly. Gazing at the old man walking slowly toward them, he let out a faint, cold sneer and said: "Brother Beigong, you have come out quite timely."

Principal Beigong Mo smiled faintly, his gaze looking peacefully at Grandmaster Pei Wendao, and said calmly: "Heh, if I had arrived even a step later, the peerless genius that my Prefectural Academy had worked so hard to find would likely have been snatched away directly by you, Brother Pei, and my Prefectural Academy Disciple would have even been forcibly betrothed in a marriage alliance, right?!"

Sigh, writing a novel is really too hard!
