Chapter 2292: World of Moon and Star (1/2)

“What? The last protector will actually be a Radiant Saint Master with a measly one-colored soulcore…”

“How can that be possible? Chang Yang only has a one-colored soulcore. How can he bear such a great burden with his puny cultivation…”

“Unbelievable. A disciple with a one-colored soulcore will actually become the protector of a candidate with a four-colored soulcore. Who is going to be protecting who…”

“This is unprecedented. This is truly unprecedented. Protectors and retainers have always been Radiant Godkings throughout history. This is the first time someone with a one-colored soulcore has been chosen to bear this burden…”

Elder Mu Zhong’s announcement immediately caused an uproar among the Radiant Godkings present. The outcome left them all stunned.

“The vice-leader must have intervened. It looks like Chang Yang’s relationship with the vice-leader is nowhere near as simple as it seems…”

“There’s nothing we can do. Who let Chang Yang be supported by a vice-leader, and vice-leader Xuan Zhan out of them…”

“Although the retainers of Chosen Saints throughout history have all been Radiant Godkings, there has never been a clear rule that only Radiant Godkings can become the Chosen Saint’s retainer or the candidate’s protector. As a result, no rules have been broken by choosing a weaker disciple as a protector…”

…

The Radiant Godkings communicated with one another secretly, engaging in an intense discussion. Currently, the huge square was silent, where even a dropped pin could be heard. However, the Radiant Godkings present were basically making a ruckus secretly. Their gazes towards Jian Chen were extremely mixed, containing jealousy and envy.

The authoritative elders on the stage fell silent as well. They looked at Jian Chen with extremely mixed feelings. Naturally, they realised that elder Mu Zhong changing his decision towards the end was due to orders from above.

Even though all of them disliked this outcome, including elder Mu Zhong, none of them dared to object. They did not dare to show even a hint of displeasure.

This was because they all understood that elder Mu Zhong likely received the order from vice-leader Xuan Zhan. Let alone the elders, but even the seven other vice-leaders had to show some respect towards vice-leader Xuan Zhan’s decisions.

“Vice-leader Xuan Zhan treats Jian Chen with far greater importance than I imagined. Yanxue, this is an opportunity for you. If you’re able to establish a connection with vice-leader Xuan Zhan through Chang Yang, you will receive immeasurable benefits in the future,” Mu Shui told Donglin Yanxue secretly. She no longer dared to underestimate Chang Yang.

Donglin Yanxue stood on the stage as she looked at Chang Yang standing among the crowd. She experienced mixed feelings as she remained silent.

“How did this happen…” To another side of the crowd, Gongzheng Xin became completely dumbstruck

This result also left Bai Yu dumbfounded. Her mouth hung open as disbelief covered her face.

“I hereby announce that the competition for Chosen Saint formally begins. Candidates and protectors, enter the stage immediately,” at this moment, elder Mu Zhong’s voice rang out once again.
