Chapter 571: Chapter 137 New S-Class_2

Inside the Judgement Institute, Judges who are truly powerful... would not care about so-called mundane things, let alone do something that "lowers their status," but Zhu Wang was different.

As long as the other party definitely had what he needed.

Then taking on a few "dull-witted" Disciples wouldn’t matter... However, these Disciples wouldn’t be considered "direct inheritors"; they could only be seen as "outer disciples."

Within the Judgement Institute, Zhu Wang was the only one who used such a mechanism to take on Disciples.

The Federation Council did not specify regulations regarding how Judges should teach their Disciples after taking them on... so for these "outer disciples," the time Zhu Wang really spent teaching them was also very limited.

However, for these outer disciples, how could they dare to expect too much?

To become a disciple of Zhu Wang was already a tremendous fortune!

Now that Zhu Wang had become a "Grand Judge," the number of people wanting to become his Disciples, to act under his glory, was countless.

And with his way of doing things, it would be strange if he didn’t take on Disciples!

"Brother Gu, the Disciple he has taken on this time is different from before..."

Luo Yu’s face was solemn as he frowned and said, "Preliminary judgments from ’Deep Sea’ suggest that this guy may possess ’S-grade’ potential, and the review team has assembled."

"S-grade?"

This indeed was an unexpected development.

If there really was such a thing as fortune in this world... then in recent years, the fortune of the entire Changye region had indeed begun to soar, with a blossoming era of martial prowess and geniuses emerging one after another.

Every year’s newcomer battles were stronger than the year before.

Among the pillars of the younger generation, individuals like Gu Nanfeng, Luo Er, and Bai Chen, who were young yet had already passed through the deep water area with Titled strength, continuously emerged...

And amongst the new generation, there appeared the unprecedented monster Bai Xiu, as well as S-grade Gu Shen...

Just one year had passed.

And now another "S-grade" appeared?

"That person’s name is Xu Yan," Luo Yu spoke in a heavy voice, "The command center wanted to investigate this guy’s file... But after applying for the review team’s evaluation, his records were highly encrypted, and there was very little useful information."

Gu Shen slightly furrowed his brow.

He was very familiar with this process.

When he had been taken on as a disciple by Mr. Shu, he also experienced such "data protection," and after becoming "S-grade," this kind of "protection" continued until now.

He had the right to keep his abilities confidential.

This was the respect given to S-grade individuals by the Federation Government. Even on the statistics of the Transcendent Genealogy Map, only the name "S-grade ability" Chi Huo was updated, without mentioning any specific abilities.

It wasn’t hard to guess that if Xu Yan passed the review team’s evaluation, then his abilities and records would also be completely classified by the Federation Government.

Gu Shen asked, "Zhu Wang taking on a Disciple, there was no warning at all?"

"None."

Luo Yu shook his head.

"No one knows where this Xu Yan came from, when he was born, or when he came to Changye... everything about this guy is unknown."

His expression darkened, and he spat out a curse, "That old guy Zhu Wang was plotting something all along; he informed the review team ahead of announcing that he was taking on a Disciple, so by the time we got the news, it was already impossible to access the ability records."

Gu Shen patted Luo Yu on the shoulder.

He smiled faintly and said, "In Changye, there’s always new genius coming forth; without Xu Yan, there will always be another S-grade."

Fatty Luo watched Gu Shen and silently marveled in his heart.

Brother Gu’s state of mind was truly excellent.

This past year, he often visited the Spring Rain Temple, and he saw it very clearly... Gu Shen’s cultivation of the mind was top-notch, unswayed by storms, tranquil as a mountain. This wasn’t just for show, but a genuine indifference.

Mundane affairs did not reach his ears.

Concerns about reputation did not enter his heart.

Last year, he was thinking that not participating in the newcomer battle might have been an excuse for Gu Shen to avoid Bai Xiu... but after spending a year together, he now truly believed that Gu Shen’s non-participation in the newcomer battle was simply because he didn’t want to.

"Brother Gu..."

Luo Yu took a deep breath, speaking earnestly, "This Xu Yan is different from what you think, he’s not a good thing."

"Because the records were sealed, everyone is unaware of Xu Yan’s information..."

"A disciple of Zhu Wang made a brief relay on the deep water area forum. Xu Yan claims to be from a remote place, without father or mother, alone in the world."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shen didn’t feel there was anything amiss.

He just thought it sounded somewhat familiar.

"And Xu Yan requested the review team to conduct an ability assessment... Dream Interpretation. He wanted to tackle the extremely difficult Dream Interpretation test. He would only pass the review if he managed to interpret three A-grade sealed nightmares consecutively within the set time."

After hearing this, Gu Shen: "..."

"Even a fool could tell!"

Luo Yu angrily said, "Brother Gu, this guy is obviously doing it on purpose... he’s imitating you."

"It’s indeed a bit coincidental... but interpreting three consecutive nightmares is no easy task," Gu Shen fell silent for a short while before he softly spoke, "If he didn’t have this ability, he wouldn’t have to force himself. The fact that he chose this means he’s confident."

"I think this is Zhu Wang’s conspiracy!"

Luo Yu clenched his fists, fuming with anger, "Who knows where he found such a demon. If Xu Yan outperforms you, then Zhu Wang and Zhou Jiren’s reputation in the Judgement Institute... might undergo a subtle change."
