The sun was bright after the snow passed.
Gu Masters streamed into the academy in the morning.
"The annual year end exam has begun again. Hehehe, I wonder if the scene I saw from more than a decade ago when I graduated will be seen again." A middle-aged Gu Master with long green hair cascading down his back stood outside the academy, reminiscing.
"Leader, get in, you love reminiscing." The young female Gu Master beside him had blood red lips, her hands placed in the pockets of her pants. There was a blade of grass in her mouth, and she rolled her eyes.
"Hehehe, Yao Hong, don't rush. We have to get in anyway. Since the clan leader had arranged it already, our new members have been decided long ago." The green haired Gu Master laughed.
"The A grade talent Fang Zheng?" The female Gu Master Gu Yue Yao Hong tutted in her mouth, saying unhappily, "The clan leader's idea is to get us to babysit him!"
"But this babysitting mission is not easy to accomplish." The green haired male Gu Master sighed, "Nevermind, let's go in."
As time passed, more and more Gu Masters entered the academy doors, and stood in the arena.
These were male and female Gu Masters. There were young faces, middle-aged, and old people as well.
The sun gradually rose, as the students entered the fray.
"So many people today." The youngsters proclaimed.
"Quickly see, that is Lord Qing Shu. He is our Gu Yue clan's number one person among the Rank two, and he is known for his mild and amiable temper." A person pointed at the green haired male Gu Master and shouted.
"Chi Shan senior is here too."
"That is the Mo family's little miss Mo Yan!"
Qing Shu, Chi Shan, and Mo Yan were the rising stars of the Gu Masters, known by all students.
....
"Oh? There are two Gu Yue Fang Zhengs." Yao Hong saw Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng, shouting out subconsciously.
The green hair male Gu Master Gu Yue Qing Shu helplessly sighed, "Did you see the information I gave you yesterday? Fang Zheng has a twin brother, they look very similar in appearance, but his brother is only C grade talent."
"Oh so that's the case. I seem to have heard that the one who made poems when he was young was Fang Yuan? Are we getting him into the team?" Yao Hong patted her forehead with her palm, saying whatever she thought of.
Qing Mao shook his head, "The clan leader specifically mentioned, do not recruit him. He seems to be wanting to observe something. The brothers don't have a good relationship anyway. Even if we want to recruit him, Fang Yuan probably wouldn't join."
Yao Hong did not think much of it, muttering, "Among the groups, we are the publically acclaimed number one, joining us means a bright future. Any student would be interested. How could he be unwilling?"
Qing Shu laughed lightly, "That's because you don't know him, look at the information I sent you first."
At this time, the clan leader Gu Yue Bo, and the authoritative clan elders Gu Yue Chi Lian and Gu Yue Mo Chen entered, getting into the seats under the tentage.
"Not only the clan leader, but also Lord Chi Lian and Lord Mo Bei are attending this year."
Seeing this, not only the students but also the Gu Masters were excited, this did not happen in previous years.
"Nothing strange, Chi Lian and Mo Chen's grandsons are all in this year's class."
"Fang Zheng is the clan leader's successor, the hope of the future to go against Bai Ning Bing. The clan leader naturally has to observe carefully."
....
With a speech from the clan leader, the year end exam began.
The three stages held fights at the same time.
At once, shouting noises, sounds of moonblades flying, and the sounds of punches and kicks as well as the discussions of the Gu Masters below the stages fused into a loud banter.
"This year's physical fighting skills is high." Soon, Yao Hong saw the difference.
"Hehehe, all thanks to Fang Yuan." Gu Yue Qing Shu laughed.
"What do you mean?" Yao Hong did not understand.
Qing Shu explained to her.
Yao Hong exclaimed in shock after listening, "Fang Yuan this lad, he's really daring. Hehehe, bullying even his own brother in the early days. This is interesting."
She looked towards Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng from the crowd, thinking internally — Which is the elder brother and which is the younger one.
"Next, Gu Yue Jin Zhu against Gu Yue Mo Bei." On the arena, the hosting Gu Master shouted.
Gu Yue Mo Bei leapt upwards, and Jin Zhu walked up the stage with a serious expression.
The two paid respects to each other and said no more, fighting at once. Moonblades danced in the air.
The two continued to shoot and at the same time, moving and evading nonstop.
Although a girl, Jin Zhu had good basic skills and was able to fight equally with Mo Bei for a while. But as time passed, her stamina could not keep up, and she started to be suppressed.
Finally, with her body full of sweat and having no energy left, she surrendered.
Mo Bei on the other hand was not even fazed.
As time passed, more and more students were mercilessly eliminated, and many youngsters also started to show their abilities.
Fang Yuan didn't even bother to fight in his first match—he simply admitted defeat and stepped down from the stage.
This left the audience disappointed, especially those who had been eager to see just how badly he would beat up. Their curiosity was left unsatisfied, and many felt let down by his lack of participation.
The matches carried on until noon.
In the end, the one who emerged as the winner was Fang Zheng.
Fang Yuan made his way to the back and stopped in front of a young man.
The man looked at him with an awkward expression, clearly not expecting to run into Fang Yuan so soon.
"Why? Weren't you looking for me to join your group?" Fang Yuan asked calmly, catching the man off guard with the direct question.
As Fang Yuan turned to leave, the man quickly called out, "Wait!"
Fang Yuan paused and replied, "Yes?"
"Hehe… how did you know?" the man asked, somewhat sheepishly.
Fang Yuan gave him a steady look and said, "It's written all over your face."
The man laughed awkwardly. "Hehe, welcome to the team, Fang Yuan."
"I'm Gu Yue Jiao San," he introduced himself, extending his hand.
Fang Yuan nodded and shook it, accepting the introduction.
