Chapter 191 - Beyond Reproach! (2/2)
The Pavilion Head spoke in hushed tones with the four Deputy Pavilion Heads while the croatched on intensely The crowd couldn’t hear their voices, but they could see the elderly Deputy Pavilion Head, upon hearing sorieved The other three Deputy Pavilion Heads startedas the Pavilion Head stared at the to reach a consensus
The elderly Deputy Pavilion Head swung his sleeve aside and said frostily “I reserve ave wang Baole a long steady look, as if in apology, then turned around and left
The scene shocked the crowd, and wang Baole’s heart leapt into his throat He felt that soiven him before he left—it seey
Iton? </eht, alarmed It was then that the Pavilion Head announced, in a deep boohout the square, the assess
“The Dhared that first place in this assessoes to Lin Tianhao!”
“The assessment has ended!” the Pavilion Head said coolly He didn’t even spare wang Baole a look After he was done speaking, he turned to leave There was a moment of silence before the crowd burst into chatter
“It actually went to Lin Tianhao?”
“This isn’t right wang Baole’s Numinous Treasure was his own invention It should be better!”
As the crowd debated furiously, Lin Tianhao suddenly trembled A flash of surprise and joy appeared in his eyes He had given up all hope, but he actually placed first All of a sudden, it was as if a shi+ver of electricity was sent coursing through his entire body The first thought that flashed to his mind was that his father had made a move
That must be it! Mad with happiness, Lin Tianhao’s spirits rose He stepped forith his fists cupped and shouted
“Thank you, Pavilion Head!”
After uttering his thanks, Lin Tianhao couldn’t help but sneak a look at wang Baole He saang Baole’s gloohed out loud
wang Baole’s face had darkened instantly He disregarded the self-congratulatory Lin Tianhao and instead stared unblinkingly at the Pavilion Head A cold glint flashed across his eyes If it had been soly accepted the Pavilion Head’s final judg had ended; but while wang Baole had on a cheerful, sular day, in reality, he didn’t possess a good te of the contributions he had made, and the network of friends he had built, didn’t help He glared and, with an air of “so what you’re the Pavilion Head? I couldn’t care less”, stepped forward and spoke in a boo voice
“Pavilion Head’s assess that, he turned towards the crowd and cupped his fists in a salute
“My fellow Dharmic Armament comrades, we all love Dharning our own artifacts We put in endless time and effort We spend money that could have been used to buy pills and enhance our cultivation on buying redients We use the ti to train and cultivate on studying and engineering new Nuive so much of ourselves But the Numinous Treasure that we finally create is instead callously brushed aside by the Pavilion Head I, wang Baole, will not rest if I don’t get a proper explanation today! I’d rather die!”
wang Baole’s words rang out and instantly resonated with the crowd The earlier srew louder
The Pavilion Head’s face darkened HeBaole if the latter only said he didn’t accept the results of the assess Baole was clearly well-versed in such matters He protested the injustice of it all while concurrently inciting public outrage There was no way the Pavilion Head could retreat fro about it
The fact that he had risen to the rank of Pavilion Head, of course, meant that he was no foolish person He had rounds for his choice He tilted his head and spoke cale or examine the inscriptions and structure of this self-invented Numinous Treasure Furtherht be an exceptional treasure, or it ht contain serious flaws It is difficult to make an assessment!
“As the Pavilion Head, my actions must be beyond reproach I can allow you to pass the Ar, I still judge Lin Tianhao’s Planetary Bottle as the stable treasure and the more secure choice This is why he has been placed first!
“wang Baole, as for the Numinous Treasure you have refined, I will send it for trials later If the Dharmic Armament Pavilion finds it without flaws, you may submit a request to me for a re-assessment”

“Your actions are beyond reproach? Fine, I’ll find soive you an answer that’s beyond reproach! One that is clear for all to see!” wang Baole laughed furiously An icy glint flashed across his eyes As he shouted, he whirled around and ran, under the crowd’s gaze, straight for the…
