“Of course not.”
Gu Xun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, “Since Elder Xu Bo insists on challenging the Difficult Stone Wall, as the steward of the Alchemy Pavilion, I naturally have no reason to stop you. However, please think clearly about the consequences, Elder Xu Bo.”
Gu Xun was certain that as soon as Elder Xu Bo challenged the Difficult Stone Wall, it would definitely attract the attention of the Pavilion Master, and at that time, Elder Xu Bo would not have a good time, and he, as the steward, would also end up with nothing good.
“This point doesn’t need you to worry about, Steward Gu,” Xu Bo replied calmly.
Seeing that Xu Bo was resolute, Gu Xun had no choice but to grit his teeth and open the entrance to the Difficult Stone Wall.
“Elder Xu Bo, please consider this carefully. Once you enter, the challenge bell will ring, and at that time, if you want to turn back, it will be impossible.”
Gu Xun said nervously.
At this moment, the commotion here had attracted many alchemists and customers in the hall. Those who were familiar with the Difficult Stone Wall were astonished to learn that Elder Xu Bo intended to challenge it, all of them shocked.
They looked over in horror.
Some who didn’t understand the Difficult Stone Wall also became alarmed after hearing others’ explanations.
Elder Xu Bo from the Alchemy Pavilion is planning to challenge the position of Pavilion Master? This is a big deal.
In just a short moment, almost all the alchemists in the Alchemy Pavilion hall gathered around, discussing animatedly, in an uproar.
Steward Gu nervously watched Xu Bo, desperately hoping he would change his mind.
“Little brother, the entrance to the Difficult Stone Wall has already opened. If you wish to challenge it, please do so quickly.”
Seeing more and more martial artists gathering around, Xu Bo said.
“What? Elder Xu Bo, you’re not the one challenging the Difficult Stone Wall, but this kid?”
Gu Xun was taken aback and hurriedly said.
“Yes, it’s Brother Qin Chen, and I will vouch for him,” Elder Xu Bo nodded.
“No way.” Gu Xun’s expression changed immediately, and he shouted angrily.
He had thought it was Xu Bo who wanted to challenge the Difficult Stone Wall; though it was a bit abrupt, at least Xu Bo was a notable elder in the Alchemy Pavilion. No matter whether the challenge succeeded or failed, he could at least explain it to the Pavilion Master.
But now, it was actually Qin Chen, a disciple from the Five Nations, challenging the Difficult Stone Wall. Gu Xun could never agree to this, even if he was beaten to death.
Is this a joke?
What kind of third-grade alchemist goes to challenge the Difficult Stone Wall?
If this really goes ahead, what does Gu Xun take the previous Pavilion Masters of the Alchemy Pavilion for? Does he think the cultivation of the Alchemy Pavilion's previous Pavilion Masters is even lower than that of a third-grade alchemist?
Once the Pavilion Master knows about this, he might be so enraged that he would kill him.
“Why not? According to the regulations of the Alchemy Pavilion, to challenge the Difficult Stone Wall, one only needs to be an alchemist, and have someone of elder level or above from the Alchemy Pavilion to vouch for them. Although this child is a fifth nation alchemist, the Alchemy Pavilion of the Five Nations is under the jurisdiction of our Da Wei Dynasty's Alchemy Pavilion. This person’s alchemist badge was also issued by our Da Wei Dynasty's Alchemy Pavilion. Now that I am vouching for him, why can’t he challenge? Ridiculous.”
Xu Bo coldly looked at Gu Xun.
Gu Xun was left speechless.
Indeed, according to the rules, Qin Chen had the qualifications to challenge, but in practice, this was clearly too childish.
“Elder Xu Bo, that’s true, but this child is merely a disciple from the Five Nations, and he is only at the third-grade level. If you let him break into the Difficult Stone Wall, aren’t you treating it as a joke?” Gu Xun said anxiously, almost going mad.
