Open up and break into another world

“It's me! It must be me!”

Dao Venerate Luo Sheng was incredibly excited—he was very confident that he would definitely become a personal disciple!

He analyzed logically, “Xu Ming is too arrogant. He refused to become a personal disciple six years ago; now that his strength has greatly increased, and his attainments in formations and artifact refining have also advanced greatly, he will definitely be even more unwilling to become a personal disciple! And my other senior and junior brothers, their artifact refining skills are not as good as mine, so they definitely can't compete with me!”

“I will definitely be the personal disciple!”

The desire in Luo Sheng's eyes shone brightly.

He really craved it too much!

Becoming Elder Tie Ning's personal disciple would not only allow him to inherit Elder Tie Ning's mantle and have a limitless future; but also, he could obtain countless treasures!

It could be said that once he became a personal disciple, he would directly rise to prominence!

Elder Tie Ning continued, “Actually, I have been looking for a personal disciple for many years; but I have never been able to make a decision!—Six years ago, I discovered this monstrous genius, Xu Ming; at that time, I was so excited! It's a pity…”

Speaking of this, Elder Tie Ning revealed a hint of resentment, “He simply ignored me!”

“Hahahaha…”

Elder Tie Ning's joke immediately caused a burst of laughter.

However, Luo Sheng did not laugh, but looked at Xu Ming with a face full of righteous indignation, as if… he was really angry that Xu Ming didn't become a disciple!—He deliberately put on this indignant expression, naturally to flatter Elder Tie Ning!

Elder Tie Ning glanced at Luo Sheng very subtly, thinking disdainfully in his heart, “He really knows how to act!—If Zhan Wuwei hadn't revealed his character to me, I might have really been deceived by him!”

During the Artifact Refining Assembly, Zhan Wuwei gave Elder Tie Ning a lot of information he had collected about Luo Sheng. After reading it, Elder Tie Ning was immediately furious; but due to the occasion, he did not act out.

Elder Tie Ning continued in a loud voice, “However, a personal disciple must be accepted; otherwise, my mantle will not be passed down! After thinking about it, I finally decided to find one among the direct disciples to be my personal disciple; he is—”

Luo Sheng's heart was in his throat, and he roared wildly in his heart: “Me! Me! Me! It's me! It must be me! It absolutely must be me!!”

“He is—” Elder Tie Ning glanced at Luo Sheng, making Luo Sheng so excited that he almost stood up and cheered.

However, immediately afterward, Elder Tie Ning's gaze moved away from Luo Sheng and fell on the black-clothed Dao Venerate next to Xu Ming.

This black-clothed Dao Venerate was also Elder Tie Ning's direct disciple.

“He is—Gu Yiliang!!”

Gu Yiliang was the name of this low-key black-clothed Dao Venerate.

“What!?” Luo Sheng was directly stunned—how… how could it not be me? How could it be Gu Yiliang?

Gu Yiliang was also stunned—his comprehension of formations was actually quite a bit worse than Luo Sheng's. Therefore, he had always been very self-aware and never thought that he could become a personal disciple.

“I… I…” Gu Yiliang was stunned by the great surprise, and his whole person was frozen there, unable to react for a long time.

Of course, Xu Ming also noticed the abnormality of the black-clothed Dao Venerate beside him, and couldn't help but say, “You are Gu Yiliang?—What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and become a disciple!”

Reminded by Xu Ming, Gu Yiliang finally reacted, and stood up excitedly, respectfully walking towards Tie Ning. It was just that with every step he took, Gu Yiliang felt that his feet were softening, as if he was riding on clouds.

Happiness came too suddenly!

At this time, Luo Sheng also recovered from his bewilderment, couldn't help but stand up, and looked at Elder Tie Ning in disbelief: “Master… Master!”

“Hmm?” Tie Ning glanced at Luo Sheng displeasedly—didn't he see that he was accepting a personal disciple? How dare this direct disciple speak up on such an occasion? He really didn't understand etiquette and had no respect for seniority!

“What is it?” Elder Tie Ning snorted.

“Master… Master! I don't understand, why isn't the personal disciple me, but Gu Yiliang?” Luo Sheng mustered his courage and said his dissatisfaction, “My talent and comprehension in formations are no worse than his; why did you choose him as your personal disciple?”

“Humph! You disrespectful thing, do I need to explain to you?” Elder Tie Ning snorted angrily, “However, since you are not convinced, I will also say a few words, so that you, and the other direct disciples, will all be convinced!”

Luo Sheng listened respectfully, not daring to breathe loudly.

“In terms of talent and comprehension in formations, Yiliang is indeed slightly inferior to you!” Tie Ning said, “However, if you want to achieve something in formations, talent and comprehension alone are far from enough! You also need a tenacious mind—to study hard, to endure loneliness for ten thousand years as if it were a day! You don't have these qualities, but Yiliang has them!”

“I…” Luo Sheng wanted to argue, but found that he was unable to argue.

His mind was indeed a bit impetuous; this kind of mind was very unfavorable for studying formations and artifact refining.

After Gu Yiliang performed the apprenticeship ceremony, Tie Ning said again, “Here, I also have something to announce!—I will expel Luo Sheng from my sect, and from now on, I will have no relationship with him!”

This time, Luo Sheng was even more stunned—expelled from the sect!?

“Master!” Luo Sheng cried out miserably, “Why? What did I do wrong? Just because I interrupted you just now, you are so cruel as to expel me from the sect?”

“I'm not so petty, I wouldn't expel you from the sect for such a small matter!” Elder Tie Ning said expressionlessly, “As for what you did wrong, you can think about it slowly! I don't have the time to explain it to you!”

Ever since knowing that Luo Sheng had offended Xu Ming, Elder Tie Ning had more than just a little dissatisfaction with him!

Xu Ming!

A 'ten-million-year-level' genius!

As an elder, I have to call him brother! You, Luo Sheng, are just a small Dao Venerate, and you dare to offend him?—Offending him is no different from offending me! Just expelling you from the sect, without any other punishment, is already very good!

Of course, Luo Sheng could not hear these thoughts in Tie Ning's heart!

“What did I do wrong?” Luo Sheng searched his brains for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, “I have always behaved very well in front of Tie Ning!”

At this time, Elder Maple Leaf also said, “I also have something to announce here!”
