C24 (1/2)
”What do you think about today's matter?” The First Elder, who was still seated at the leader's seat, looked at the other Elders and spoke in an indifferent manner.
The group of elders stammered, unsure of how they should reply.
The iron-like facts were laid out there. How could they possibly defend themselves? The people present were all elders, and they were not idiots. It was impossible for them to lie without opening their eyes.
Thus, the gazes of the other elders all turned to the Second Elder. Everything was done by the Second Elder. It all depended on what he said.
”This time, it's an accident, I never thought something would happen. Zi Chen's talent isn't bad, but Wu Sheng's talent isn't ordinary either.” After pondering for a moment, the Second Elder slowly spoke.
”Wu Sheng is my grandson, so we can discard the position of first, but the position of core disciple must belong to him. With that, the Second Elder bowed to the elders.
The Great Elder did not move. The other elders all stood up, looking as if they did not dare to accept the etiquette.
”Although Zi Chen's talent is not bad, he hasn't been in the Spirit Martial Sect for long. Although his talent is enough to enter the internal portal s, his loyalty remains to be tested.” One of the elders suddenly spoke.
”That's right, Wu Sheng's talent is also very high, and is also the second elder's grandson. His strength is even stronger than Zi Chen's, so his loyalty is guaranteed.
”I agree, this year's quota was originally prepared for Wu Sheng.”
All the elders spoke up.
”What do you mean?” The Grand Elder looked at them.
”I hope Great Clan Elder can grant Wu Sheng's wish.” The elders spoke.
The Grand Elder stood there silently, as if he were considering something.
”Sigh, both of their talents are pretty good. It's a pity that the Master is not here, we only have one spot in our hands, we have to give it up. But we won't lose out on internal portal, it can be considered training.” After a long while, the grand elder sighed. His eyes were filled with regret.
Silence reigned.
”If Great Clan Elder feels that this matter is not appropriate and is unable to convince the many disciples, we can try giving Zi Chen some rewards, such as a Contribution Points.” An elder whispered.
The group of elders discussed for a while, but in the end, the Great Clan Elder nodded, ”Let's do it this way. Tomorrow, Elder Wu will bring me to announce this order, the Contribution Points will give us 20 points.”
A little Contribution Points could be exchanged for a Qi Returning Pill, and a two point Contribution Points could be exchanged for a zhenqi Pill.
As for a five hundred year old Chinese sage root, if it was exchanged for a Contribution Points, it would only be twenty points, and would only be able to be exchanged for ten zhenqi Pills.
”Yes, Great Elder is wise.” The elders nodded.
The Great Elder left immediately. After that, the other elders also left one after another.
”Zi Chen, you actually caused this old man to lose so much face today, hmph …” The eyes of the Second Elder flashed a cold light. The bow today could be said to be a huge loss of face, and he had taken this debt onto Zi Chen.
That night, Zi Chen was unable to fall asleep for a long time.
In the early morning of the second day, there were still many disciples still gathered in high platform. They wanted to see how the things that happened yesterday were judged.
There were a lot of disciples here, and there were also a lot of people who did not have a backer. If they could not give an explanation today, it would make many disciples' hearts go cold.
When Wu Sheng came out, cheers sounded out, but the cheers were not as loud as yesterday, and there were even some disciples who were staring at him coldly.
Wu Sheng's expression was calm, he remained calm and walked to the side of the high platform, where the elders were already waiting, but there were no traces of the Great Clan Elder, and the one sitting in the middle was the second clan elder.
The calm Wu Sheng, upon seeing the Second Elder standing at the very top position, had a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth as well.
”Hmph. Truly shameless. Isn't it all related to him?” In the distance, Lin Xue released a cold snort filled with dissatisfaction, while Miao Kong remained silent, his eyes filled with grief.
Today, the appearance of the Elders was enough to cover the situation.
Zi Chen quickly appeared and the crowd cheered, their cheers even louder than yesterday's booing. The cheers were all coming from disciples who did not have any backers in the Spirit Martial Sect, but trained in third rate Cultivation Methods! After yesterday's battle, Zi Chen's name was spread far and wide, and they were proud of Zi Chen.
At the same time, Zi Chen was able to use third-rate Cultivation Methods to defeat second-rate Cultivation Methods, and let those disciples that did not have a backer see hope.
Zi Chen and Wu Sheng stood shoulder to shoulder. Last night, after thinking about it randomly, Zi Chen's spirit was a little low. However, when he suddenly saw the Second Elder above, Zi Chen calmed down.
In his heart, he had already made a guess.
”Backstage?” Zi Chen laughed bitterly in his heart, but he could only accept reality as he comforted himself.
”Yesterday, because we were delayed for some matters, we were not able to place in the rankings. I am very sorry, but after a whole night of research by the elders, we have decided to follow the principle of fairness and fairness and make the following rankings.” The Second Clan Elder stood on the high platform and started to speak.
First place, Zi Chen. As soon as the Second Elder finished speaking, the crowd burst into cheers and waves of cheers rang out.
”Second place is the defeated Wu Sheng. What a pity, Wu Sheng just accidentally fell off the Battlestage.” The Second Elder said.
This time, the cheers were much weaker than last time. Occasionally, there were even one or two boos from the crowd.
Hearing their boos, Wu Sheng and the Second Elder's faces turned ugly.
”Third place, Lin Xue.”
”Fourth Miao Kong!”
