He just didn't know if he could wait until that day.
"By the way, I went out these last two days and brought back a young boy. He seed to have suffered a lot of setbacks. I felt sorry for him, so I let him co to the academy.
"Does the Great Elder have any plans for teaching?" the headmaster asked.
Hearing this, Jiang Hao beca slightly curious: "What kind of boy is he?"
"A boy with light in his eyes. He gave himself a resonant na, calling himself Gu Jin," the headmaster said with a chuckle: "He's a very interesting boy.
"If the Great Elder will not teach, I plan to teach him myself."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao also felt expectant: "Let's et him, but I won't be the one to teach. I'll leave it to the headmaster."
The headmaster laughed.
He was very pleased.
It seed he had accepted a disciple that satisfied him deeply.
The next day.
Jiang Hao accompanied the headmaster to the great hall.
At that ti, a spirited young boy stood in the middle.
He wasn't at a loss but was very curious about everything around him.
"What are you looking at?" the headmaster sat down and asked.
Then, turning to Jiang Hao who sat down with him, he introduced: "This is the rowdy student I recently took in, and now I've made the Great Elder laugh."
"No." Jiang Hao looked at the person before him. He was indeed like Gu Jin.
The Gu Jin from the Blood Demon pool had not aged much.
Furthermore, their gazes were sowhat similar.
Although the look in the eyes from the Blood Demon pool was a bit obscure, that sort of confidence that ca from the heart was easily contagious.
Gu Jin appeared to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. He looked at the headmaster and Jiang Hao, then knelt down and kowtowed nine tis, loudly saying: "Disciple pays respect to the master."
Then he also respectfully said to Jiang Hao: "Paying respects to the Great Elder."
"The headmaster has accepted a good disciple." Jiang Hao sincerely felt.
From today onward, Western Astronomical Academy would beco a famous immortal sect.
The young Gu Jin and all the Heavenly Prides he had encountered were all different; he was very open-minded.
He didn't seem to exhibit anything special.
Yet he made people feel differently about him.
He seed rowdy, but he respected the teacher and valued his teachings.
Confident without arrogance, unrestrained without foolishness.
Thinking about this, Jiang Hao never expected that one day he too would stand at a high place evaluating Gu Jin.
After all, he was over four hundred years old, and Gu Jin was just a teenager.
For a ti, Jiang Hao rembered the words Gu Jin had said at the beginning.
It seed he was confirming whether he knew himself.
Which is to say, he indeed knew him.
But he hadn't recognized him?
Once recognized, there would be Karma.
If the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone couldn't withstand it, then he would be in danger.
Afterwards, he took out a 1 Spear and gave it to him.
Taken from the treasury of the Western Astronomical Academy.
It didn't affect anything.
Gu Jin was overjoyed.
He expressed his thanks.
Jiang Hao simply responded with a smile.
Without saying much more.
Afterwards, the academy students began to read books, to acknowledge articles, and to gather Hao's energy.
However, Gu Jin did not like to read books; he practiced cultivation on his own, his progress advancing by leaps and bounds every day.
And Jing Dajiang also had extrely high innate talents.
The two boys who joined the sect with him were the sa.
Yet mbers of Corpse Clan would often co to collect so resources, claiming it was for the developnt of the West.
Corpse Clan, as a major power, had the responsibility to do this, and naturally, others were required to pay enough resources.
Gu Jin was dissatisfied, but he continued his cultivation anyway.
Occasionally, he would go out, not knowing what for.
Jiang Hao read books in the academy, occasionally explaining thods of cultivation to them.
This ti it seed as if ti had been fast forwarded on him.
He saw many students study at the academy and then leave, but among those who left, only a very few would return safely.
He did not know why they had not returned.
But those who returned brought so sadness and anger with them.
Thirty years later.
Jing Dajiang had achieved the Golden Core Realm, and went out with others on this day.
Three years later, he returned.
A total of twenty-five people had gone out, only seven returned.
Upon returning, he tore up the books.
He roared: "Reading cannot save the academy."
Afterwards, Jing Dajiang ca to Jiang Hao, hoping to be taught the Killing Skill.
"Do you want to kill soone?" Jiang Hao asked Jing Dajiang.
"I want to kill, I know the Great Elder is the person most proficient in the Killing Skill," Jing Dajiang pleaded on his knees.
"Whom do you wish to kill?" Jiang Hao, sitting in his chair, poured himself a cup of tea.
He had gotten used to life at the academy.
Over thirty years have passed, Jing Dajiang must be nearly forty now.
But he still appeared as if he were twenty.
"I want to kill the mightiest, people from the Fallen Immortal Clan, people from the Corpse Clan," Jing Dajiang said earnestly.
"Then you must read books," Jiang Hao spoke.
Hearing this, Jing Dajiang couldn't believe it: "Why?"
"The Killing Skill can't kill the true strong ones," Jiang Hao picked up the book that had been torn by Jing Dajiang, glued it back together piece by piece, and while doing so, he said:
"Killing is simple, the blade rises and falls.
"Sadly, this is but the rage of the common man.
"Able to kill the ordinary, but not the strong.
"If you want to kill the strong, your blade must rise with intent and fall with the Tao.
"The spirit of Hao, the great Tao that connects heaven, is not so far from you."
At this mont, the torn book was quickly repaired.
Thus Jiang Hao picked up the book, handed it to Jing Dajiang, and said:
"The true Killing Skill will not make you stronger, but will only limit you.
"Maintain your heart, do more, comprehend more principles, understand the myriad things in the world, and with these, pave your path.
"To ascend beyond the nine heavens, to reign over all."
Jing Dajiang was stunned; he seed never to have heard these words.
Was the Great Elder saying that he was the favored and blessed son of heaven?
Was the future hope entrusted upon him?
In a mont of excitent, Jing Dajiang asked: "Great Elder, can I surpass Gu Jin then?"
