Chapter 165: Chapter 164: Guo Hengyu Enters the Inner Courtyard

Lei Qianxiao successfully diverted the topic.

Everyone, including the four instructors, had their full attention captured by the last few words of Lei Qianxiao.

A single stone had stirred up a thousand ripples.

"Why should he become an instructor, what gives a mere eighteen-year-old boy the right?" Li Shuangyan was perplexed, truly indignant, and simply couldn’t look up to Lin Hao.

"Yeah, upon what grounds, does he even qualify?"

"Instructor Lu, give us an explanation."

"Right, we need an explanation."

The four instructors looked at each other, equally at a loss, but they had no authority to change a decision made by Lei Qianxiao.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the matter is already settled. Since Dean Lei has designated him as an instructor, there must be good reason. Perhaps Lin, no, Instructor Lin really does have a profound understanding of swordsmanship," said Gao Yulan, stepping forward with a laugh.

"Instructor Gao, explain what?" Du Shengfang said sternly with a cold snort, "The Inner Courtyard isn’t some faction or sect; this is a place for learning, to study if you wish, or not if you do not. No one is forcing you."

Du Shengfang was notoriously hot-tempered, ready to pummel someone at a moment’s disagreement, and with his statement, the place quieted down quite a bit.

In the entire venue, probably only one person understood what was going on.

That was Su Mo.

Since Lin Hao had hinted to him about the outcome before, he was prepared and had remained clear-headed from start to finish.

"Did he really endure ten moves, or did he defeat the Grandmaster?" Su Mo’s eyes were shocked, and after pondering, he found it terrifying.

If Lin Hao had merely withstood ten moves, assuming he were Lei Qianxiao, he would never have let Lin Hao walk out so intact; he would have taught him a lesson to save face.

Yet Lin Hao, not only came out unscathed, the clothing of Lei Qianxiao, following behind him, was gone!

This could only mean one thing.

Lin Hao’s talk about winning, was not enduring ten moves, but truly winning!

"Freak, goddamn freak!" Su Mo’s expression was bizarre to the extreme, thinking about his wish for Lin Hao to give him a massage sent chills down his spine, "Su Mo, oh Su Mo, you are truly pitiful..."

He hurriedly left the villa, running towards the dormitory.

In the villa’s courtyard, once Du Shengfang spoke, the Inner Courtyard disciples didn’t dare say much more, and all their anger was directed at Lin Hao.

"He wants to be an instructor, huh? Fine, tomorrow morning we’ll go to his class and see if he’s qualified to teach us."

"Exactly, I want to see if it’s my swordsmanship that’s formidable, or his."

"Sister Li, are you going?"

"Of course, I have to go." Li Shuangyan was calmly upset, feeling a burning sensation on her face.

The four instructors exchanged glances then returned to the office, curious to ask Lei Qianxiao for the real reason.

In the office, Lei Qianxiao had already dressed and was silent, as if in deep thought.

When the four entered, he finally spoke, "I know what you want to ask. That kid’s understanding of swordsmanship is at its pinnacle, even if he had an element of surprise, but me, a Grandmaster, to not even have a chance to strike back..."

"You must have seen that sword light."

"What do you say, how strong is his swordsmanship?"

All four instructors were silent; they knew Lei Qianxiao was not someone who would lie, nor did he need to.

The Inner Courtyard had gained a new instructor, a newcomer who was only an eighteen-year-old youth.

This news spread like the wind throughout the entire Inner Courtyard.

All students of the Inner Courtyard simply couldn’t believe it.

"How can an eighteen-year-old boy be an instructor; are you kidding me?"

"Has Dean Lei lost his mind?"

"I’ve inquired about him, that guy is quite arrogant, known in the Outer Courtyard as the ’Cold Nobleman.’"

"Cold Nobleman? I don’t care what Cold Nobleman he is, he must step down tomorrow morning."

Not a single disciple from the Inner Courtyard was convinced when they heard Lin Hao was to be a mentor.

Third floor.

Hong Dali’s dorm room.

At this moment, Hong Dali was lying on the bed.

Fortunately, as a Cultivator, even though he was injured from falling off the third floor, it wasn’t too serious.

"Brother Dali, what do you think about this?" Hong Dali’s underling massaged his shoulders and pressed his legs, "He just threw you down today, we can’t just let this go."

"What can I think? Of course, I’ll look with my eyes, be gentler." Hong Dali grimaced in pain, "That kid is very strong, I had no power to fight back against him, we’ll just have to wait for my brother."

"He’s performing some school assignment outside, he will be back the day after tomorrow, and then I’ll make sure to throw that kid down from the sixth floor!"

"..."

Afternoon.

Outer Courtyard.

In the park of Binhai University.

Old Lu from the Inner Courtyard was waiting for something in the park.

Not long after, Tang Guodong arrived with a student.

"Old Lu, this is our Martial Arts Society’s president, Guo Hengyu; he was supposed to come for the assessment a few days ago but was tied up with stuff." President Tang said cheerfully to Mentor Lu.

"No worries." Mentor Lu waved his hand.

"Mentor Lu, greetings," said Guo Hengyu respectfully.

Mentor Lu did not say much, simply greeted him and began the test. In less than three minutes, he released Guo Hengyu’s hand, "Congratulations, you passed the test, your talent is not bad, you will improve much faster in the coming years. Tomorrow morning at eight, report to the Inner Courtyard."

"Thank you, Mentor Lu," Guo Hengyu said, excitement shining in his eyes.

The Inner Courtyard, he finally managed to make it!

Although he had just become a Martial Artist, the resources of the Inner Courtyard would allow him to rapidly increase his strength in the days to come.

It took him a decade or two to become a Martial Artist; now, with the support and resources of the Inner Courtyard, perhaps, in another two or three decades, he could become a Grandmaster!

The thought excited him greatly.

Even when Mentor Lu left, he didn’t notice.

"Lin Hao, I don’t know where you are, but sooner or later, I will surpass you." For some reason, the image of Lin Hao’s indifferent face appeared in Guo Hengyu’s mind.

The kick from Lin Hao etched vividly in his heart, impossible to forget; now, he finally had the chance to surpass him.

"The next time we meet, you’ll realize that I, Guo Hengyu, am not that weak."

Guo Hengyu saw Lin Hao as his current rival, vowing to surpass him. After passing the Inner Courtyard’s review, he excitedly returned to his dorm to pack up and prepare to welcome a new life in the Inner Courtyard.

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Before eight o’clock, the disciples of the Inner Courtyard arrived at the vast grassland in front of the library an hour earlier than the agreed time.

More than three hundred disciples, almost half had shown up.

Everyone wanted to see what this new eighteen-year-old mentor looked like.

Of course, more wanted to make him lose face.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Inner Courtyard, Guo Hengyu had already arrived, greeted once again by Du Shengfang, who always loved to keep a stern face.
