690 People Think I Am Targeting Him, That Is So Swee (1/2)

”Fellow Daoists, today we hold celebration mainly to celebrate Daoist Master Luo Xiao's ten consecutive victories in the Grand Competition. On the one hand, we should earnestly sum up Daoist Master Luo Xiao's successful experience. On the other hand, we should take this opportunity to correctly understand the current situation. Finally, we should guide the next step according to the advanced experience of Daoist Master Luo Xiao, and strive for the ultimate victory in this Grand Competition. With this, I will elaborate on these three aspects.”

”1. Report on Daoist Master Luo Xiao's exemplary deed. (1) Courageous enough to offer to volunteer to participate in the competition repeatedly…”

”(2) Cultivates diligently and continuously improve the strength to…”

”(3) Wonderful performance and brilliant victories…”

On the celebration ceremony of Luo Xiao's ten consecutive wins in Purple Cloud Hall in Immortal Five Area, Wang Lu read aloud the manuscript in his hand in a solemn tone. His sound reverberated back and forth in the all, shocking many people.

Purple Cloud Hall was a place for the senior elders of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals to hold a meeting in Immortal Five Area. Not only its outward appearance looked solemn and dignified, but its internal facilities were also perfect. The host sat on the rostrum and spoke, spreading out his voice through a built-in array. Moreover, in order to guarantee the quality of the meeting, Wang Lu had requested the Earth Immortals as the builder of the hall to build extraordinarily tricky array so that when the voice passed through the array, it went straight into the mind of the people. The sound was loud and clear, so loud that even the deaf could hear. Let alone pretending not being able to hear, even being absent-minded was impossible.

This most hateful design now made everyone who attended the ceremony miserable beyond description. Each and every person that sat there revealed their painful expression. Their buttocks chaffed from the frictions with their seats as they wiggled around as if they were trying to bore into the ground so that they could hide from the voice.

It was not that everyone was not interested with Luo Xiao's amazing deeds. It was just that Wang Lu's official style in reading it was really boring. He split the story of Luo Xiao very carefully. Wang Lu even went so far as describing the details of Luo Xiao's clothing, food, living, and transportation during this period. Such as the menu of his breakfast and lunch, daily clothing, the zen books that he read, and so on... In fact, these contents were put in tabloid gossip, it would definitely drive the fans crazy. But, any tabloid gossip would not be written in such an official style.

However, when everyone finally survived the first part, they began to look forward to Wang Lu's analysis of the current situation of the Grand Competition.

”2. Views on the current situation. (1) From the internal point of view, a united and positive competition atmosphere has been formed. Firstly, the plans of the Organizing Committee of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals have been effectively implemented, including the following aspects…”

”(2) From the outside, the killing frenzy of the earth immortals has been effectively curbed.”

”At present, on the whole, opportunities and challenge coexist.”

These three points were clear and logical. The only problem was that: The amount said was the same as the amount not said.

Everyone had been looking forward to Wang Lu's analysis of the current situation. They didn't blindly believe that he had the divine ability of foresight, but rather they valued the vast amount of information that his position could reach. For example, the knowledge of which sects had trained rare troop… and so on. Unfortunately, after reading for the whole two hours, there was not even a little bit of interesting thing. He summarized the current situation from zero to zero, every word said was without leakage, which made it impossible to pick out any problems… this was in itself a skill.

At the end of the second part, some of the people sitting in the back of the Purple Cloud Hall had already started to slip away. The people who stayed at the front helplessly watched them leave, showing their deep sorrow and regret of the past mistakes.

However, soon, the remaining people stopped feeling miserable and began to look at the rostrum with interest.

Because after a long nonsense, Wang Lu finally got to the point.

His speech remained unchanged, and every word was still a no-nonsense official talk. However, this time, even a cultivator who had no interest in such issues could hear to its implied meaning.

”... First of all, we must organize all the cultivators to seriously study Daoist Master Luo Xiao's exemplary deeds carefully, and then set up a special working group, headed by myself, with members from various sects' representatives, to push for deep learning of the deeds. In this period, we should organize a number of seminars and let Daoist Master Luo Xiao personally tell us his own experience, so that more cultivators could benefit from it.”

”... In addition, we should give a generous reward to Daoist Master Luo Xiao and publicize it wildly to attract more cultivators to participate in the competition.”

As Wang Lu went through the list one by one, Luo Xiao who sat beside him looked more and more ugly.

If one looked at it literally, there wasn't any fault in Wang Lu's report. Instead of suppressing Luo Xiao's achievements, it had been raised to a certain extent.

The problem was that, this report was tantamount to putting Wang Lu in a higher position.

In the organization of the special working group, Wang Lu was the leader, while Luo Xiao was only an ordinary member of the group. Moreover, he also had to accept Wang Lu's assignments, holding a number of seminars, just like a monkey playing tricks… It was clear at a glance who had the higher status here.

In fact, from the perspective of the official document itself, it was already full of tall and cold postures—Indeed, this style, born under the advocacy of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortal's vernacular movement was essentially a highly simple and concise text with no unnecessary rhetoric or expression, and requiring preciseness and rigor, and more accurate than books about cultivation. However, it was precisely because the document was too practical, it sacrificed the aesthetic ness and readability. Nowadays, with the exception of high ranking leaders, few people were willing to use such accurate but lacking in aesthetic style.

When Wang Lu announced the document in this official style, he was actually announcing the fact that no matter how brilliant Luo Xiao was, he was only a soldier, while Wang Lu was a leader sitting on the rostrum being eloquent.

As the genius of Jindan Stage of the present age, there was an insurmountable gap between them. With the momentum of ten consecutive victories, Luo Xiao tried to cross the gully to challenge Wang Lu. However, ain't seemed that he was too hasty.

The challenge was launched with great enthusiasm, but Wang Lu simply did not have the interest to fight.

At the same time, the Elders sitting on the rostrum had been watching Luo Xiao's reaction with great interest, wondering how he would deal with such setback, or whether he could clearly recognize the reality and cool down from the overheated state.

In their view, the whole incident was a farce—from the public opinion fever of Luo Xiao to Wang Lu's response to this ceremony. From the beginning to the end, they did not feel that there was any problem between Wang Lu and Luo Xiao, or even the need to compare them. Because they were not equal at all. Only some tabloid gossips would be keen on hyping such a topic and even kept speculating that if the two had the same starting point, who would be better than the other now.

Indeed, Wang Lu's innate conditions were much better than that of Luo Xiao. Whether it was spirit root quality or the cultivation method, Luo Xiao, who came from a mediocre sect, could not be compared with Wang Lu. The starting point of the two was very different, so it was meaningless to forcibly eliminate this gap to talk about the advantages and disadvantages. Otherwise, why did the cultivators of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals who were born after the end of Age of Chaos, bother to struggle against the ancient earth immortals who were born in the glorious era? If you have the ability, go and live after the Age of Chaos!
