Chapter 152: Sect’s Lead Representative (2/2)

Hai Yunfan felt really helpless, ”Brother w.a.n.g, I think you better drop it. Eldest Brother Zhan Ziye and the others...couldn’t possibly fall for such a scam.”

Later on, after Hai Yunfan put everything out including the tray, w.a.n.g Lu couldn’t help but be stunned.

”d.a.m.n, sure enough, drinking will affect one’s perception. I never thought about it from your point of view. What a pity, it’s rare for me to win a few pieces of their clothes, and it’s not far away from getting their underwear!”

w.a.n.g Lu paced back and forth, thinking about some countermeasures, ”Little Hai, what about if I offer a discount?”

Hai Yunfan helplessly sighed, ”Brother w.a.n.g, perhaps in your view, our Ten Thousand Arts Sect people are a bit unsophisticated, and you probably don’t even put our academic ability in your eyes. However, we, at least, still have a backbone.”

”Oh, then what about thirty percent discount?”

”...Brother w.a.n.g, I’m serious. Eldest Brother has put down his words. Three days later, he wants to fight with you in the compet.i.tion, so he wants you to prepare.”

w.a.n.g Lu smiled, ”What kind of compet.i.tion? Strip card game compet.i.tion?”

Hai Yunfan said, ”This time, Eldest Brother and the others are serious. I’m afraid you can’t just casually deceive them to win it. Initially, the reason we came here is also for the compet.i.tion, therefore… Brother w.a.n.g, you should be more serious. I know you’re formidable, but Eldest Brother also can’t be trifled with. He may not have your means, but he is, after all, the sect’s lead representative in the Five Unique in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, so he naturally has his skill.”

Speaking to this, Hai Yunfan was ready to leave, but then he heard w.a.n.g Lu curiously asked, ”Lead representative? He is the sect’s lead representative? Even though he’s still in the Foundation Establishment?”

Hai Yunfan explained, ”It’s very normal. Appointing the sect’s lead representative is not only based on cultivation stage or level, most importantly it’s the potential. In just eight years, he already reached the middle-level Foundation Establishment; in thirty years, he is expected to reach the Jindan Stage. Therefore, his progress is second to none in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. Not to mention, his academic ability has already gone beyond the realm of cultivation. Thus, the other Xudan Stage and Jindan Stage disciples in the sect didn’t object when he was put as the lead representative. This is not as easy as it sounds because the benefits of the lead representative are numerous.”

w.a.n.g Lu nodded, and then asked, ”What are the benefits of this lead representative?”

”A lot. Once you become the lead representative, it means that you become the sect’s main object to train. Not only you can learn the sect’s methods at will, you also have almost unrestricted access to the sect’s resources. Moreover, the common rules of the sect do not apply to the lead representative — of course, the lead representative also has rules that the lead representative must follow. However, all in all, it’s like the successor of the Sect Leader. All the major sects have mostly the same rules regarding this, with only minor differences, doesn’t your Spirit Sword Sect also have it too? Who is the lead representative of your Spirit Sword Sect? The last time your Elders informed us about your sect’s situation, they never mentioned who the candidate for this lead representative from your sect was, so we are all curious about it. We initially thought it would be Liu Li, but it doesn’t seem like it, right?”

w.a.n.g Lu was silent for a moment, ”Actually, I always thought it was me!”

——

After parting ways with Hai Yunfan, as well as the few drunken Martial Sisters, inside the room, there was only a pair of Master and disciple left, two people. Just now, after w.a.n.g Lu had conveyed his talk with Hai Yunfan, the Master had immediately swept away dozens of bottles of spirit wine and was now dead drunk. Seeing this, w.a.n.g Lu unceremoniously splashed a bucket of cold water on her. However, it was dissipated by the ray of light from the emerald green bamboo sword.

”You, this rebellious disciple…” w.a.n.g Wu lazily sat up and rubbed her eyes, ”Why are you looking for me?”

w.a.n.g Lu told her about the compet.i.tion three days later and then asked, ”Master, what do you think?”

w.a.n.g Wu yawned and said, ”Yeah, three days later, there will be a compet.i.tion between the two Sects. As the Sect’s representative, you will be sent to the stage to beat him.”

w.a.n.g Lu cursed, ”Beat your sister into a sorry state! How could a high-level Qi Cultivating Stage beat a middle-level Foundation Establishment Stage! Quickly pa.s.s me your most consummate skill!”

w.a.n.g Wu said with a smile, ”You’re not afraid that you would explode and die from learning my consummate skill with your weak body? Moreover, with your virtue, are you afraid you won’t beat him even if your cultivation stage is lower than him? I think not… how about this, in these several days, I’ll teach you a type of sword art, in which if you manage to learn it, it will greatly increase your odds in successfully accomplis.h.i.+ng the over-rank fight. This also can be considered as me performing my duty as a Master.”

w.a.n.g Wu just randomly spouted some perfunctory words, but upon hearing it, w.a.n.g Lu just nodded and didn’t push it further. Instead, he said, ”Then... Master, tell me about our sect’s lead representative?”

w.a.n.g Wu was startled, and then said with a smile, ”Do you want to compete for the sect’s lead representative? Unfortunately, our Spirit Sword Sect doesn’t have the custom to select the lead representative.”

w.a.n.g Lu asked, ”Why not? Isn’t it good?”

w.a.n.g Wu waved her hand and said, ”Because it’s not necessary. Moreover, there hasn’t been any suitable candidate. Can’t you see that there are only a few Successor Disciples? Although there are a lot of excellent inner court disciples, no one can afford the t.i.tle of lead representative. Although Zhu s.h.i.+yao and Liu Li are powerful enough, each of them has a very serious flaw, so it’s not suitable for them to shoulder this heavy burden.”

With a puzzled face, w.a.n.g Lu pointed to himself and asked, ”Then isn’t it logical to appoint me as the lead representative?”

w.a.n.g Lu chuckled, ”Hehehe, you, this weak chicken, really know how to joke.”

”d.a.m.n, this weak chicken is being taught by you! How about this, why don’t we take the opportunity of this compet.i.tion to push for the implementation of lead representative, making its benefits as high and as much as possible. Then you and I can coordinate to land this position on my lap. Naturally, I won’t forget to share the benefits with you.”

w.a.n.g Wu coldly snorted. ”That’s a good idea. However, since you can think of it, do you think I can’t? My proposal about this has already long ago been brushed aside by the other Elders.”

w.a.n.g Lu said, ”Because you’re notorious, so your proposal automatically gets vetoed?”

”On the notoriety, how much better are you than me? In short, from the overall quality point of view, some people indeed favor you to be the future sect’s lead representative. However, when we talk about cultivation stage, you are indeed much worse. Secondly, they aren’t sure if they wanted to give too many privileges to the Non-Phase Peak. Thirdly, and also the most important, we have always been not in favor of this lead representative system. From the atmosphere of the sect’s point of view, in the long term, specializing in one person would only bring more harm than good, and would be a blow to the morale of our sect, so this matter has been put to rest.”

w.a.n.g Lu pondered for a moment and then said, ”Since the main reason is the sect is worried about the morale, why don’t we just improve the program, increase its fairness and accessibility? For example, the sect’s lead representative is not a fixed appointment and without time limit, but rather using special points that can be redeemed often, just like the treatment of a special customer, which only happens in a limited time. Aren’t this good?”

w.a.n.g Wu said, ”Although your creativity is commendable, it is less convincing when it comes out of your mouth. As a Spirit Sword Sect’s top student with the most sect points and credits, that position would be yours in no time.”

”So we change the point system. Since the lead representative is mainly used to fight outsiders, then the point would be based on this; whenever you win against other sect’s disciples, you would gain some points. And if you have enough points, you can redeem it for a time as the sect’s lead representative. As it happens, the two sects are going to have a compet.i.tion, thus, you can set a sky-high reward to whoever won their match, such as the t.i.tle of lead representative for life as best award and so on. Then, as long as I find a way to be the first, I can win the t.i.tle of lifetime lead representative.”

w.a.n.g Wu mused, ”This idea is actually somewhat feasible... Okay, I will intensify your cultivation training in these several days. Then I will propose this matter to the Sect Leader. Once it gets through, you can strive to get the most outstanding accomplishment for the Sect!”
