After Xu Rong and Fei Longwei were chosen, Duan threw his gaze back at the remaining contestants.
”Before I choose another 3 of you, let me just summarize on what I've seen during the previous few matches.” Duan Li said.
”Wu Jin and Dong Jinghai, both of you are senior students of the academy at the middle stage of the Core formation realm. Your experiences so far led you two to have better grasp on real battlefields to react accordingly. In addition, your individual matches against each other were the most intense in my opinion.”
”Wei Shang and Wei Wang, you two are from the Wei clan that has numerous way to conceal yourself from your opponents. Not only that, because the both of you are twins, your actions were highly synchronized. It would be a nightmare for your opponents to think of you two as separate individuals.”
”Yun Bo and Ti Bao, the both of you had stood firm in protecting your defensive formation regardless on what had happened to the vanguards back then. This shows that you two could follow order to the very end, even in the most dire of all situation. Such bravery to remain mission critical is definitely a commendable course of action.”
”Sui Shunyuan, your possession arts would be a powerful tool against any of your opponents. The versatile nature of it meant that you could very well use it creatively in a way that your opponents does not expect you to. Such surprise elements to be held in your hand at all times would make you advantageous in almost any kinds of situation.”
”Guo He, to produce such pills that its effects would only kick out after a battle ends, is already a testament to your formidable skills in pill concoction. If I am not mistaken, those pills that you had handed out back then were modified Spirit Consolidation pills which has a 30 percent more effectiveness as compared to the common grade 1 of its version sold on the market. Impressive!”
Duan Li sighed out inwardly, it was so tiring and troublesome to speak out sentences so rigidly and serious like this, but as a Lord, he had to at least act the part and give out powerful insights in order to awe the audience.
...
As Duan Li made various feedbacks and commented on each of them, the contestants soon realized that, not only was the other party monstrously powerful in strength, he was also equally intellectual and in fact, comparable to those Strategist class with that keen observation of his!
Furthermore, there was not a speck of disdain and the feelings as such when the other party pointed out to them. In fact, it even feels like the other party was trying to guide them into the most suitable path that they should focus on next time!
Even the audience felt the same way as they listened to Duan Li, as if the latter was conducting a beneficial lecture for them.
”This junior Lord, Duan Li, is really formidable, it seems like he is one of those rare type of an excel-in-all-fields person eh?” a person said as he cupped at his chin.
”Indeed. With both powerful strength and intellect at his disposal, he is destined to walk the path of greatness!” another person added while nodding, feeling impressed.
By the side, the elderly man Mu Bai smiled as he recalled a certain quote of wisdom.
”Powerful strength without powerful mind leads to you being used by others. Similarly, Powerful mind without sufficient strength causes you to surrender your fate onto another's hand.”
”This was the vicious cycle of curse for almost all cultivators in the whole Tian continent. But in him, I only saw the figure of a dragon that had always been standing at the top.. he.. is the one!” said the elderly man Mu Bai to himself.
...
After a few moments of silence, everyone had became quite anxious as to who Duan Li would choose next.
After a slight cough and drinking a cup of water to sooth his dry throat from speaking for so long, Duan Li breathed in air as he continued.
”Guo He, I guess it would be a no-brainer to not have such an astounding Alchemist within our ranks. Welcome to the party.” Duan Li spoke out with a nod.
The audience cheered and clapped their hands loudly. Most of them had already expected this though, as a functional party would definitely require at least one Alchemist that could change the tide of a battle with their pills and elixirs.
”Thank you Lord Duan Li, I, Guo He, hereby swear on a pledge of loyalty to serve under you.” Guo He said out loud as he clenched his fists in excitement.
”En. Next, Wei Shang and Wei Wang. With the mystic arts in concealing yourself from others, you would make a great ambush squad as well as for rear-guards! You can catch just about almost anyone off-guard with such sets of skills. Therefore, I welcome you two to the party!”
Hearing this, Wei Shang and Wei Wang immediately jumped up in excitement. With this, their numbered days and years of living in poverty had finally came to an end!
”Thank you Duan- I mean Lord Duan Li! We swear our loyalty to you and would do anything you ask of us!” Wei Shang kneeled using one leg followed by Wei Wang.
With that, all the 5 slots were now taken.
The rest of the contestants sighed and was saddened by the fact that they were not chosen by Duan Li. But recalling that Duan Li would recruit once more when he reached the 2 Star rank Lord class in the future, they still had high hopes to eventually be able to join him.
