Chapter 781: The Nitpicking Eight Clans
“What!? What did you say? Yang Yutian is Jian Chen?” The person behind old man Situ said in surprise. He was filled with disbelief.
“Correct. It’s him, he’s Jian Chen. It can’t be wrong because when I used the blood from Jian Chen’s parents as a guide for the Great Soothsaying Technique, I could sense a strong presence of the bloodline on Yang Yutian. He must be Jian Chen.” Old man Situ was both overjoyed and surprised. He was overjoyed by the fact that they had finally found Jian Chen after searching for so long and they could finally complete the mission from the tiger king for the two remaining Class 7 Monster Cores, while he was surprised by the fact that Jian Chen, a fighter who had participated in the Gathering of Mercenaries, had suddenly become a prodigious Class 6 Radiant Saint Master. Even old man Situ felt rather overwhelmed with disbelief.
If it were not for the fact that he had felt a strong presence of bloodline on Jian Chen, he would not have been able to connect Yang Yutian to Jian Chen at all.
This was due to the fact that Radiant Saint Masters could not be fighters, and vice versa, on the Tian Yuan Continent. It was an almost undeniable fact.
“Weird. Jian Chen is clearly a fighter, so how’s he a Radiant Saint Master now?” Another old man said. He too struggled to believe it.
The five old men communicated using a communication technique so no one around them could hear what they were saying.
Old man Mateng stared at Jian Chen with a complicated gaze; he was also very surprised by the fact that a fighter was also a Radiant Saint Master. After a period of silence, his mouth moved slightly, “Since we’ve found Jian Chen, that beast of antiquity on his shoulder must be the cub that the tiger king wants.”
“Yeah, it must be that tiger cub. It’s exactly the same as how the tiger king described it. Situ, Mateng, it’s such a great opportunity so what’re we waiting for? We might as well just all go for it; steal that beast cub and then leave immediately.” An old man said rather excitedly. He had already waited too long for this day.
“We mustn’t!” Old man Situ shook his head without any hesitation, “This is the City of God and the headquarters of the Radiant Saint Master Union. Also, Jian Chen is regarded as very important in the union. If we do it now, we’ll be the ones who suffer a loss. Not only will we fail to take the cub, our lives might even end up on the line.”
“You’re right. Experts are extremely plentiful in the City of God. The Zaar family in particular still has powerful Saint Kings hidden away. We cannot be careless or we’ll be doomed forever. We can only try to get the beast of antiquity through smart means, not by force, and if we do want to do it by force we definitely cannot do it here.” Old man Mateng said gruffly.
“Anyways, the four protectors won’t be able to find us too any time soon with the concealing array of the city and our additional disguising of our presence. We might as well just settle down somewhere near the headquarters. I don’t think Jian Chen will stay in the headquarters forever. Even if he doesn’t come out, I’ll figure out ideas on how to lure him out. Things will be much easier after he’s far away from the union.”
“I think that’ll work. Let’s do that then. If push comes to shove, we still have one final card to play. Jian Chen is a fighter, after all... heh…”
…
The victors in the final top ten slowly descended in the rainbow light while all the other Radiant Saint Masters around looked at them in admiration and envy.
Quan Youcai also managed to place within the top ten. Currently, he was overjoyed and constantly thanking Jian Chen. Of the ten people, Quan Youcai was probably the one who had it the easiest. He just collected the points that originally belonged to Jian Chen for free.
The president strided out of the castle as several elders followed behind them. He glanced at the ten people in rainbow light with a smile, “Good, good, good. You’re the most outstanding Class 6 Radiant Saint Masters for this competition. I hope some of you reach Class 7 in a year’s time.”
The president looked towards Jian Chen, “Yang Yutian, your performance is extremely outstanding. I feel proud to be your master. Though that little beast on your shoulder has fooled me well. I never thought it was actually an extremely rare beast of antiquity. Even your master feels shocked.”
“President, Yang Yutian has experienced many battles in the artifact. He must be exhausted. Why don’t you quickly get him to rest?” The grand elder said with a smile from the side, while his gaze towards Jian Chen carried a mix of emotions.
“You’re right. Yang Yutian, you should quickly go rest.” The president chuckled, clearly extremely happy.
“Yes master!” Jian Chen clasped his hands, before bidding farewell to Kara Liwei and Quan Youcai. He walked directly towards the castle.
“Wait!”
Suddenly, there was a loud voice from within the crowd. Over ten people of different ages walked over to Jian Chen.
