21: Chapter 21 Taking Advantage of an Opportunity

Xiao Tian felt it was truly unbearable to stay in this Scripture Pavilion.

Ever since that Senior Brother who cooked delicious food and was good-looking arrived at the Scripture Pavilion, he had been staring fixedly at him.

He looked like he wanted to eat him up.

"Mom said, the prettier a woman is, the more she will deceive you! Senior Brother is a man, so he shouldn't deceive me, right?"

Xiao Tian, who was secretly missing home under the covers yesterday, suddenly felt like crying again.

Just as Xiao Tian pursed his lips and was about to drop golden beans, Senior Brother Su's impatient reprimand directly scared the tears away.

What exactly did he do to offend this Senior Brother?

After thinking it over, Xiao Tian felt that it must be because he ate too much, and Senior Brother was angry because cooking was too hard.

But this good-looking Senior Brother's cooking was really delicious!

It was only a little worse than Mom's!

Xiao Tian, who believed he had angered Senior Brother Su, instinctively wanted to find someone to rely on.

Among the few who came together, Yin Chaoge always had an icy face, and Shi Buran, who lived in the same room as him, didn't like to talk either.

Only that big brother, Senior Brother Gu, whose smile made people feel close, could give him a sense of security!

As for why he didn't look for Wen Daoyi or Ling Yao?

Xiao Tian, who considered himself a man already, felt that hiding behind girls was too embarrassing!

Therefore, in the Scripture Pavilion, Xiao Tian stuck to Senior Brother Gu like a follower.

Senior Brother Gu took a step, and he followed a step.

The sturdy figure, over 1.8 meters tall, followed weakly behind the 1.78-meter tall Senior Brother Gu, looking somewhat comical.

A bit puzzled by being followed, Senior Brother Gu turned around, looked at the timid Xiao Tian in front of him, and asked with a gentle smile: "Junior Brother Xiao, is there something the matter?"

"Ah? No, nothing!" Xiao Tian was stunned for a moment and spoke subconsciously.

"Then why isn't Junior Brother going to pick out a combat technique or Spell?" Senior Brother Gu asked in confusion.

"Uh, this, well, I don't know many characters, and I think Senior Brother Gu is very impressive, so I want Senior Brother to help me pick some Cultivation Technique!" Xiao Tian said, thinking quickly.

"Is that so!" Senior Brother Gu realized suddenly, then took Xiao Tian to a row of bookshelves, pointed gently at the shelves, and said: "I see that Junior Brother has abundant Qi and blood, which is very suitable for the path of a Body Cultivator. These are all methods for body forging; Junior Brother can take a look as you please!"

Xiao Tian struggled for a long time before squeezing out a sentence: "Senior Brother, I don't know many characters!"

Senior Brother Gu tilted his head and looked at Xiao Tian, whose face was starting to turn red, and asked curiously: "Don't know many characters? How many do you know?"

Xiao Tian, with a face flushed red, held it in for a long time before scratching his head and saying: "I can only recognize my own name right now."

Hearing Xiao Tian's blunt answer, even Senior Brother Gu was stunned for a moment.

So when you said you didn't know many characters, you meant you only knew two?

Xiao Tian said somewhat embarrassedly: "Senior Brother, do you think you could teach me how to read and Cultivate?"

Senior Brother Gu looked at the shy Xiao Tian in front of him, thought about it in his mind, and a trace of playfulness appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Tian, who possessed a mutated Spiritual Root, had unlimited future achievements.

He had spent so much effort to join the Luoxia Immortal Sect, and if he wanted to climb to a high position, he would definitely need the support of those below him.

Thinking of this, Senior Brother Gu said magnanimously: "You and I are now fellow disciples. Since Junior Brother has a request, I naturally won't sit idly by!"

Xiao Tian looked at the white-clad Senior Brother Gu with some emotion and said gratefully: "Thank you, Senior Brother. Senior Brother is truly a good person!"

Senior Brother Gu, who had been forcibly handed a "good person card," didn't mind and casually flipped through a few sword techniques.

They were just simple methods that attached True Qi and drew upon the Five Elements.

He had already experimented with these simple methods this morning and had already self-taught himself how to attach True Qi to the sword blade.

These sword techniques in the Scripture Pavilion looked flashy by name, but they were useless to him.

Senior Brother Gu casually picked out a few books, then also picked out a body-forging Cultivation Technique for Xiao Tian and handed it to him.

However, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps approaching, and Senior Brother Su rushed over in a hurry!

"Kid, let me see!"

"Don't, Senior Brother Su!"

"Hurry up, let me see!"

Protecting the Cultivation Technique Senior Brother Gu gave him tightly, Xiao Tian shook his head like a rattle-drum. Without meaning to block Senior Brother Su's reaching hand, he lightly pushed Senior Brother Su, directly sending him flying away.

Senior Brother Su, who flew out and hit the bookshelf, immediately felt his Qi and blood churning. Senior Brother Su felt that if this were in a game, he would have lost at least one-tenth of his health.

As expected of the future Emperor Xiao Tian who breaks the sky with one punch!

Just having touched upon Cultivation, he actually had such power!

"Are you okay, Senior Brother Su?" Xiao Tian, holding the Cultivation Technique, looked at Senior Brother Su with some concern.

Although Senior Brother Su was good-looking, his constitution was a bit too weak!

Senior Brother Su, suppressing his churning Qi and blood, squeezed out a smile and realized he had lost his composure, so he quickly made up an excuse: "I'm fine, I was just curious about what skill Senior Brother Gu picked for you."

"This? Look!" Xiao Tian held up the skill book for Senior Brother Su to see.

On the yellowed skill book, three vigorous characters were written: Savage Bull Strength!

Senior Brother Su almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He had taken a hit for nothing, and the target was wrong too; he was really having a streak of bad luck!

"Savage Bull Strength, huh? It suits you quite well!" Senior Brother Su said with a dry laugh.

"Yes, Senior Brother Gu is really a good person. Not only did he pick a Cultivation Technique for me, but he also said he would teach me how to read!" Xiao Tian looked at Senior Brother Gu with an adoring face and praised him.

But when both Senior Brother Su and Xiao Tian looked at Senior Brother Gu, they found that Senior Brother Gu was standing in front of the bookshelf, motionless!

Senior Brother Gu, standing before the bookshelf, held half a yellowed piece of paper in his hand, and on the paper, a "Sword" character was written with sharp, piercing edges!

When he saw the paper in Senior Brother Gu's hand, Senior Brother Su's pupils contracted; Senior Brother Gu's Opportunity had arrived!

At this moment, Senior Brother Gu, holding the paper with both hands, seemed completely isolated from the world; the entire world was left with only him and that half-torn piece of paper in his hands.

The "Sword" character on the paper seemed to come alive in Senior Brother Gu's eyes.

Countless sword technique Profound Truths emerged before his eyes!

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the entire Scripture Pavilion began to surge madly toward Senior Brother Gu, causing the surrounding bookshelves to tremble slightly.

"Boom!"

"Qi Refining Fourth Layer!"

"Qi Refining Fifth Layer!"

Senior Brother Gu, standing on the spot, suddenly began to break through realms, breaking through two realms in one breath!

Senior Brother Su gasped; this was the Heaven and Earth phenomenon that only occurred in "immortal path" when players completed promotion quests!

It was what NPCs called an "Epiphany"!

Just by looking at that torn piece of paper, this scheming snake in front of him could break through two realms?

Heavens, look at the good deed you've done!

The few people in the Scripture Pavilion also heard the strange noise at the same time and rushed toward Senior Brother Su's side, naturally seeing Senior Brother Gu who was immersed in an Epiphany.

Senior Brother Su waved his hand at the crowd and said in a low voice: "Don't come forward; Senior Brother Gu seems to have had some kind of realization. Don't disturb him."

When Senior Brother Gu finally woke up, he turned his head and saw Senior Brother Su and the others guarding him.

A strange light flashed in his eyes, and then a standard smile hung on his face again. He cupped his hands at the crowd and said: "Thank you, Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, for acting as my Protectors!"

"Senior Brother Gu, what did you gain from your Epiphany?" Xiao Tian stretched his head out and asked curiously.

Senior Brother Gu looked at the half-torn paper in his hand and said with a hint of emotion in his tone: "I think I vaguely understand how to swing a sword now!"

Senior Brother Su curled his lips. He had realized a Mythical-grade sword technique, and he just nonchalantly said he knew how to swing a sword?

He really knew how to put on an act!

After speaking, Senior Brother Gu looked at Xiao Tian apologetically and said: "Junior Brother Xiao, I originally said I would help you learn to read, but I have just gained a realization, and I need to polish it well these few days, so the thing I promised you will have to be postponed!"

Looking at Xiao Tian's somewhat disappointed eyes, Senior Brother Gu pointed at Senior Brother Su and said with a smile: "Although I cannot help you, Junior Brother Su should be very happy to help you with this!"

"???" Senior Brother Su, who was about to say "Why should I?", swallowed the words back.

He hadn't gotten his hands on that Copy skill yet, so he felt embarrassed to refuse directly.

Yin Chaoge and the others looked at Senior Brother Gu suddenly surpassing everyone by a large margin, and immediately, a sense of unconvinced fighting spirit rose in their eyes.

As fellow Prodigies, who would be willing to be inferior to others?

Go back and train harder!

Must surpass Senior Brother Gu!

When everyone made up their minds to go back and Cultivate properly, Senior Brother Gu prepared to leave first to go back and properly comprehend his newly obtained combat technique.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Su was immediately anxious and quickly spoke up: "Senior Brother Gu, did you forget something?"

He originally wanted to remind Senior Brother Gu not to forget to continue picking skills for Xiao Tian; at least pick out that Copy skill before leaving!

But Senior Brother Gu, anxious to go back and comprehend his combat technique, thought Senior Brother Su didn't know how to teach Xiao Tian to read and just wanted to brush it off with a couple of things.

He casually took a skill book from the bookshelf and handed it to Senior Brother Su with a gentle smile: "Junior Brother Su, just teach Junior Brother Xiao according to the characters on this!"

"Fine, fine, fine, just dump the responsibility on others when something comes up, and even brushing it off so casually!" Seeing Senior Brother Gu's dismissive expression, Senior Brother Su's opinion of this scheming snake dropped even further.

But when Senior Brother Su looked at the skill book Senior Brother Gu handed him, he was stunned.

On that same yellowed skill book, there were only two simple characters: "Copy"!
