God of Defiance

Like a sponge absorbing water, Chu Tian carefully read and studied one cultivation technique after another, and gradually entered a state of complete selflessness.

Time passed quickly without any sound.

When Chu Tian breathed a long sigh of relief and came back to his senses, he found that the sky outside was completely dark.

"hehe!"

He gave a wry smile.

After resting for a while, he continued to pick up a jade slip and put it on his forehead.

Next, for several days, Chu Tian locked himself in the attic and frantically read dozens of cultivation techniques brought by Qu Xiaoer.

Although these cultivation techniques are all very common, after reading them several times in a row, Chu Tian felt that he had benefited a lot.

In particular, the creative ideas of certain exercises made his eyes light up after reading it!

A few days later.

Danfeng Yun, Gan Yang and Chai Xingxuan came to visit together.

Due to Chu Tian's unexpected withdrawal, after a while, the three of them once again occupied the top three spots on the Tianji Ranking.

When the three of them saw Chu Tian staying in the training room, studying various exercises fascinatedly, they were all stunned.

"This guy is indeed a martial arts idiot!"

Danfeng Yun smiled bitterly.

Gan Yang and Chai Xingxuan also smiled bitterly.

No wonder Chu Tian was able to defeat them one after another in the annual competition and get first place. It turned out that he was working so hard in private!

"Ah...you three are here!"

Chu Tian put down the scroll and quickly stood up to greet the guests.

The three of them all had kind smiles on their faces, with no hint of contempt at all.

Chu Tian felt hot in his heart.

It seems that not everyone in the inner courtyard is cold-faced and ungrateful.

After a few breaths, the four of them sat down.

"Chu Tian, ​​the three of us were originally planning to persuade you to cheer up, but now it seems that we have completely overthought it!"

Dang Fengyun said with a bitter smile.

"Haha, don't be complacent, you three guys. Maybe one day in the future, I will return to the Tianji Ranking and regain the top spot!"

Chu Tian teased, a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes.

Is it possible to regain the top spot on the Tianji Ranking?

he does not know!

But if you don’t try at all, it’s naturally impossible!

As Dan Fengyun spoke, his expression gradually became serious.

"Chu Tian, ​​you'd better be careful in the next three months!"

Dang Fengyun suddenly said in a deep voice.

"What's the meaning?"

Chu Tian was puzzled.

Now that he has become a useless person, will Vice Dean Xie Linghai and Tianluo Hou and his gang still come to find trouble with him?

What's more, Dean Li Jianming once publicly spoke out, asking those people not to continue to embarrass Chu Tian!

"Chu Tian, ​​do you think that the Tianji Ranking includes all the masters in the inner court?"

Gan Yang suddenly asked.

Chu Tian nodded and asked, "Isn't it?"

Hearing Chu Tian's rhetorical question, the three of them smiled and shook their heads.

"Of course not! Many inner court masters are ridiculously strong, but they have never made it to the Tianji Ranking. For example, there are a very small number of core disciples with bloodline martial spirits, and some inner court disciples who have been training outside all year round!"

Dang Fengyun said solemnly.

"By the way, you should know about Tianji Secret Realm, right?"

Gan Yang suddenly spoke.

Chu Tian nodded.

He had already learned about the existence of Tianji Secret Realm from Qu Xiaoer's mouth, and he had some understanding of it.

However, what does the secret realm of Tianji have to do with a useless person like him?

"Three months later, the Tianji Secret Realm will be reopened. Therefore, in the next three months, some of the elite inner court disciples who have been training outside all year round will return one after another to prepare for the opening of the Tianji Secret Realm!"

Dang Fengyun said in a deep voice.

"What, three months later, the secret realm of Tianji will be opened?"

Chu Tian was shocked.

The secret realm of Tianji is only opened once every ten years. Unexpectedly, this year is the year for its opening!

Immediately, he frowned slightly.

Even if those elite disciples from the inner courtyard who have been training outside all year round return, they seem to have nothing to do with him. After all, he and those guys have never met before, and they have no grudges!

"Haha, it seems you don't know much about the situation in the academy."

Gan Yang smiled and shook his head.

Immediately, he continued: "Generally speaking, the entire Tianji Academy can be divided into two major factions. One faction is mainly composed of civilian disciples, called the civilian faction, and the other is mainly composed of noble disciples, called the aristocratic faction!"

"Every year, the Wuyan royal family invests an astonishing amount of resources into Tianji Academy. In order to compete for this amazing resource, the two factions are constantly fighting. After all, only with resources can rapid growth be possible!"

Gan Yang talked eloquently.

"It seems that I have offended the noble faction?"

Chu Tian asked tentatively.

His enemies Xie Linghai, Qin Tianyang, Tianluo Hou and others are all backed by well-known family forces, and the family forces behind them probably have many well-connected allies.

Hearing this, the three of them nodded.

"That's right! You have now been regarded as a thorn in the side of the noble sect. They want to kill you immediately and cut you into pieces, especially some of the elite disciples of the inner court who are about to return one after another. Many of them are important figures of the noble sect. Members are even more hostile to the civilian faction, and they may come to look for trouble! "

Dang Fengyun said worriedly.

Immediately, Gan Yang next to him added: "However, you don't have to worry too much, the aristocracy is not monolithic!"

"At the very least, the Wuyan royal family is firmly on the side of us common people. As for the aristocratic faction, the royal family has to suppress them from time to time to prevent them from becoming too powerful and ultimately threatening the survival and interests of the royal family!"

Chu Tian nodded secretly after hearing this.

Wherever there are people, there is struggle!

Especially in order to compete for limited resources, the aristocratic faction and the civilian faction fought more fiercely.

For the Wuyan royal family, the civilian faction is his natural ally!

"Okay, having said that, it's time for us to leave. Although there is a public warning from the dean, there is no guarantee that those guys from the aristocratic faction will be lawless and lose their minds, so you must be careful!"

After talking for a while, the three of them nodded and stood up to leave.

However, before leaving, Dan Fengyun suddenly turned to look at Chu Tian: "By the way, I forgot to remind you about something. In three months, before the Tianji Secret Realm opens, the inner courtyard will hold a regular quarterly assessment. Only those with outstanding assessment scores are eligible to compete for a very small number of places to enter the secret realm. If they fail to pass the quarterly assessment, they will be directly expelled from Tianji Academy!"

"What!"

After hearing this, Chu Tian's face changed drastically.

Three months later, if you fail the quarterly assessment, you will be removed directly?

Chu Tian's whole body suddenly felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

"Come on, we believe in you, maybe you can really regain your former strength!"

Danfeng Yun sighed secretly, forced a smile, patted Chu Tian on the shoulder, and left with the other two people.

Chu Tian was not a fool, so he naturally heard the comforting elements in Dang Fengyun's words.

He watched the three people leave. After standing still for a moment, he clenched his fists and said secretly: "There are only three months left. I must find a way to regain my strength!"
