C65 (1/2)
In the past three days, the Star Gauze Sword Sect had spread about some of the scarier headlines.
”Shocked!” The reason why the Immortal Path Congress obtained one million points is because she consumed it! ”
”One against four!” There's no choice but to say that there's love and hate between the new disciples and senior brothers! ”
”Internal information has been leaked!” The millions of people who scored in the Immortal Path Congress were actually evaluated like this! ”
The news that spread crazily between the three great sects had almost completely exposed Zhou Tong as a public figure. From his background, cultivation level, social interaction, daily life, all of these were reported by the reserved industry dogs. They were all so eloquent that even Zhou Tong himself, who had read these reports, couldn't help but sigh.
”What the f * ck is this!?”
All of the Four Great Islands s wanted to recruit Zhou Tong into their ranks. Originally, the recruitment for Immortal Path Congress should have been completed on the same day as this, but even after postponing it for three days, there was still no conclusion to the matter. So much so, Di Bei and the other nine people were already recruited into the Four Great Islands, but Zhou Tong, the winner of the competition was still thrown inside the A Gate.
At the peak of the sect, in the Sect Leader's courtyard, the Four Great Islands Lord had gathered in one room.
Taoist Master Xing Luo, who was the current Sect Leader, was at the top position. On the other hand, Swordsman Ten Thousand Swords's expression was passionate, he repeatedly slapped the armrest of his chair and roared.
”As you can all see, this child can forge a Grandmaster Grade magic tool. It can be seen that he possesses extraordinary talent in the Dao. If he were to join me, Wan Jiandao, he would definitely not be wrong!”
The other island masters all had different expressions, but none of them wanted to easily give up this fight.
The last of the Daoist Master Qing Lian laughed and stood up: ”Senior Brother Wan Jian, what you said is not right, the Sect Leader has already agreed to our Blue Lotus Island breaking the rules to recruit male cultivators, this is equivalent to giving me Zhou Tong, please do not fight over it.”
The nearby Daoist Master Liuyan's eyebrows twitched, and she glared at him. ”Junior apprentice sister, don't joke with me! What is your Blue Lotus Island teaching, something Zhou Tong should learn? I presume you all should know, that this child refined a Grade Five Spirit Pill in the A Gate's assessment. How old is he? Only by learning the way of pill refinement can my Flaming Island use his talent to its fullest! ”
Spiritual Master Han Kong, who had been resting with his eyes closed the entire time, also slowly said, ”Let's not talk about anything else. Even Junior Brother Bai Ling was injured by the power of this sword a few days ago. If you don't come to my Cold Sky Island, that would be a waste! ”
”Ahem!”
Finally, Taoist Master Xing Luo, who was at the top of the list, could no longer bear to watch any further.
”Alright, stop arguing. We can't just let this matter go, but we still need to come up with a viable plan for where this child should go.” How about we invite this guy and listen to his own wishes? ”
The few island masters looked at each other in dismay, feeling somewhat troubled. Everyone had a way to recruit Zhou Tong, but no one had absolute confidence to make Zhou Tong give up the benefits of the other three islands.
”No one speaks? Then send someone to summon Zhou Tong over. There's no way to make our champion wait day after day. ” After sweeping a glance at the Four Great Islands Lord, Taoist Master Xing Luo waved his hand, and the disciple that was waiting by the side of the door immediately turned around and headed back to Zhou Tong's residence.
After an hour, as the Four Great Islands Lord was in the midst of an intense argument, a tired voice came from inside the door.
”We pay our respects to the head, we pay our respects to the masters. Ahh ~”
Zhou Tong bowed towards the hall, and then yawned. From the looks of it, he did not sleep well.
”What is it? Seeing how you are acting, the Four Great Islands Lord is fighting so hard for you, but you do not feel excited at all. ” Taoist Master Xing Luo looked at Zhou Tong and laughed.
”Disciple doesn't dare.” Zhou Tong shook his head, ”It's just that I didn't get any sleep last night and didn't sleep at all.
Zhou Tong laughed a little helplessly in his heart. In the past few days, as the news spread like wildfire, his living quarters had already been surrounded by dogs so that not even a drop of water could trickle through. During these few days, Zhou Tong was surprised that he did not even get a good night's sleep.
Taoist Master Xing Luo's gaze firmly locked onto Zhou Tong's body, and stars seemed to surge between his eyes. After a moment later, he retracted his gaze, and chuckled: ”Zhou Tong, we have all seen your performance since you entered the sect, I must admit, you are the most outstanding disciple I have seen since the inception of my Star Gauze Sword Sect, and Four Great Islands has the intention to recruit you, what do you think about this?”
”I am indebted to the various island masters for their kindness, but this disciple knows very little about the Four Great Islands. I hope that the various island masters will instruct me.” Zhou Tong's gaze swept across the four island masters, and then cupped his hands and bowed.
”I'll go first!”
