Chief Examiner Ma Liang!
If Ma Liang were to sit on this chair today, no one would think anything of it.
After all, since the Grand Elder had prepared this for Ma Liang, he genuinely intended for Ma Liang to sit down.
The Vast Heaven Holy Land doesn't have many twists and turns, nor any messy trials... All the head elders of each palace have told their disciples about things like intrigue and backstabbing.
No matter what environment you lived in before, in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, be more honest with your fellow disciples and less competitive!
This is the way of survival for the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
No matter who you are, if you enjoy intrigue and cutthroat competition, the Vast Heaven Holy Land can send you to the Civil Engineering Departments at any time... You can try following the Gui Li scroll...
You'll see if Gui Li can crush you!
Therefore, this chair today represents the recognition of Ma Liang's status by everyone in the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
However, Ma Liang also has his own choices. If it were an informal occasion today, and if it were only Senior Brother Xinghe, Ma Liang would even dare to lie on Senior Brother Xinghe's rocking chair and rock for a while!
However, in formal settings, Ma Liang stated that his achievements were not yet sufficient and that he was not qualified to sit next to Senior Brother Xinghe.
Being able to stand behind Senior Brother Xinghe fills Ma Liang with immense gratitude!
Seeing Ma Liang standing behind Xinghe, all the bigwigs in the room smiled slightly, and then the Grand Elder spoke up, "The purpose of this meeting is to discuss this year's disciple recruitment. Everyone, please share your thoughts."
Recruiting disciples has always been the most important thing for a sect.
The Vast Heaven Holy Land delayed its recruitment of disciples for a very long time last year, which was due to the merger of the Four Continents and was quite reasonable.
Similarly, the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits recruited last year have now proven just how terrifying they are!
With the combination of the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits and the Taiyin Evil Spirits, the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits's various supernatural abilities can be passed on to the disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land in each palace, and now the entire Vast Heaven Holy Land has greatly increased in strength.
According to past practice, the recruitment of disciples for the Vast Heaven Holy Land always begins immediately after the start of the new year.
Last year, because all the recruits were Evil Spirit disciples, many prodigies were willing to wait a year to participate in the Vast Heaven Holy Land's assessment this year.
The Grand Elder indicated that Deacon Yang had also sent a message.
Deacon Yang is in charge of the selection of disciples for the Vast Heaven Holy Land every year, but the pressure has been the greatest in the past two years.
There are no outsiders here, so the Grand Elder doesn't need to hold back when he speaks.
The Grand Elder stated that the Vast Heaven Holy Land could not be said to be completely devoid of human relationships; in previous years, Deacon Yang had always handled matters of human relationships reasonably and appropriately.
Disciples from Lineage with significant ties to the Vast Heaven Holy Land will be selected for the later stages of the screening process.
However, last year they only recruited disciples from Evil Spirits, which meant that many disciples from Lineage related to the Vast Heaven Holy Land were unable to use the social connections and personal relationships to make their way in the recruitment process.
Therefore, with the backlog, recruiting disciples this year is still quite troublesome.
Aside from the issue of interpersonal relationships, the fact that only Evil Spirit disciples were recruited last year has caused countless geniuses to be waiting and eager to participate in this year's Vast Heaven Holy Land assessment.
Goodness, in previous years, the Vast Heaven Holy Land assessment should have been held in half a month, and Haotian City should have been bustling for another ten days.
But this year, before the New Year was even over, Haotian City was already packed with disciples from all over coming to participate in the Vast Heaven Holy Land assessment.
If you go to Haotian City now, you will see disciples from all over the Four Continents who are going to participate in the Vast Heaven Holy Land assessment.
That's right, they came from the Four Continents. The treatment of the evil spirits from the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits gave hope to the Evil Spirits of the Evil Shadow Continent, so there were quite a few geniuses from the Evil Shadow Continent who came to take the assessment this year.
Therefore, the Grand Elder believes it would be best to discuss and formulate a set of rules regarding the various details of this year's disciple recruitment as soon as possible!
"Xinghe... what are your plans for this year?" the elder asked.
As soon as the Grand Elder spoke, all eyes turned to Chu Xinghe.
You should know that ever since Xinghe started recruiting disciples, the quality of disciples in Vast Heaven Holy Land has seen a qualitative leap!
Therefore, when it came to recruiting disciples, the Grand Elder naturally consulted Xinghe's opinion first.
Chu Xinghe n't know what the Grand Elder was thinking at the moment; all he knew was that the mere mention of recruiting disciples gave him a headache!
They even recruit disciples?
Am I recruiting disciples? I'm just asking for trouble!
This year, I, Chu Xinghe, will absolutely not recruit any disciples!
As long as I don't make the first move, the backstab won't fall on me, Chu Xinghe!
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, last year's disciple recruitment should have been Ma Liang's responsibility. However, due to the merger of the Four Continents, the situation was rather chaotic, so I took charge. This year, I think we should give Ma Liang an opportunity to gain experience on his own. I think it would be best to entrust all the procedures for this year's disciple recruitment to Junior Brother Ma Liang!"
Upon hearing Senior Brother Xinghe's words, Ma Liang looked terrified and said, "Ah... Senior Brother Xinghe, aren't you going to appoint me as an advisor? This... this is all my responsibility, I... I'm afraid I won't do a good job..."
Upon hearing Ma Liang's words, Chu Xinghe was so excited that his eyes welled up with tears!
Chu Xinghe retorted, "Ma Liang, can't you speak human language too?"
Listen to what Ma Liang said, it's so well said...
You can't do it right!
It's good that you didn't do well... Senior Brother Xinghe would be hoping you didn't do well!
Junior Brother Ma Liang, you can rest assured. Even if you don't do it well, you can still do it badly, right?
If you do something wrong, Senior Brother Xinghe will take full responsibility for it. If you don't recruit disciples well, then all the subsequent disciple recruitment work will be handed over to you, Ma Liang!
"Ma Liang... there has to be a first time for everything. You've followed your Senior Brother Xinghe in recruiting disciples so many times, and you've accumulated some experience. This time, you're taking on the Great Liang on your own, which is also a test for you!" Elder He spoke up at this moment.
"That's right, Ma Liang. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but we're confident in your abilities."
The Grand Elder also spoke with a smile.
A group of powerful figures from the Vast Heaven Holy Land nodded in agreement, and the matter was considered settled.
Ma Liang has become the chief examiner for this year's disciple recruitment examination!
Ma Liang repeatedly assured the elders and Senior Brother Xinghe that Ma Liang would do his utmost!
As soon as the decision was made within the Vast Heaven Holy Land, the news that Ma Liang would become the chief examiner spread throughout the Four Continents in an instant!
Good heavens! As soon as the news reached Haotian City, the entire Haotian City was thrown into chaos!
"What? This year's examiner is Ma Liang... not Lord Xinghe this year?"
"Oh dear... hasn't Lord Xinghe been the examiner for the past few years...? My book, 'Lord Xinghe is Like My Second Parent,' which I wrote this year, is already finished, and I'm just waiting for Lord Xinghe to take a look... What am I going to do now...?"
"Quickly! Quickly! Does anyone have news of Lord Ma Liang? I'll buy him at a high price!"
"Selling the complete list of Ma Liang's preferences... ten spirit stones a set... What the heck? Didn't you say it was only one spirit stone before? Why is it ten times more expensive now? Why didn't you buy it before!"
"Haha... I guessed right! I knew this year's examiner would be Lord Ma Liang... I have some intricate connections with Lord Ma Liang's Lineage, I'm sure I'll pass this year!"
"Dude, what the hell are you talking about... You're related to Ma Liang's Lineage... Are you sure this is a plus or a death sentence?"
The entire Haotian City is incredibly lively right now!
As everyone knows, only two types of people can pass the preliminary selection for disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
The first type is those who have connections with the Vast Heaven Holy Land... but these are the minority!
The second type are the true prodigies. So none of the disciples who were able to pass the preliminary selection of Vast Heaven Holy Land disciples and come to Haotian City to participate in the second round of assessments were pushovers!
When everyone is absolutely talented, what makes you stand out?
What the hell? You think you're so great? Dude, if you threw a brick in Haotian City right now and hit five people, at least three of them would be better than you!
Therefore, excellence is worthless in the current Haotian City!
Unless you're truly exceptionally talented, with tens of thousands of disciples participating in the assessment this year alone, what makes you think you can be one of the three thousand?
Unless there are special circumstances, the Vast Heaven Holy Land generally only recruits three thousand disciples!
And even if your talent ranks in the top 3,000, do you think you're guaranteed a spot?
You should know that Lord Xinghe has a habit of instantly buying the top-ranked items!
Lord Ma Liang was personally trained by Lord Xinghe. Can you guarantee that Lord Ma Liang doesn't have the habit of instantly killing the front row?
Therefore, in this situation, it sometimes takes some effort to stand out from so many people and become one of the three thousand lucky ones.
Go take a look at how other top-ranked powers recruit disciples every year; finding a godfather is child's play for them.
However, this kind of thing is not common practice in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, so the disciples dare not act recklessly.
Even if you can't do it that way, sometimes catering to their preferences isn't a bad thing.
For example, everyone knows that Lord Xinghe is a gentleman as fine as jade, so all the disciples of Haotian City demand of themselves to be gentlemen.
Knowing that Lord Xinghe favors disciples who can build the Vast Heaven Holy Land, everyone strives to demonstrate their determination to dedicate their Future to its development!
But now that the examiner has become Ma Liang, countless candidates who pride themselves on being gentlemen like jade are suddenly in a dilemma!
Now, with Ma Liang as the examiner, how should I hold myself to high standards?
I'm good at offering free services?
Am I shameless?
This... isn't appropriate...
After all, if you look at Ma Liang's public image, it's somewhat negative, so the entire Haotian City was in complete chaos for a while, with everyone starting to speculate about what Ma Liang's preferences really were.
How can I make Lord Ma Liang choose me from among the many candidates and become one of the three thousand lucky ones?
Meanwhile, in Haotian City, the recruitment of disciples this year was causing quite a stir.
Chu Xinghe lay on his rocking chair, looking delighted!
After entrusting the task of recruiting disciples to Ma Liang, look at Ma Liang's worried expression. Even if Ma Liang gives it his all, he can only recruit a maximum of three thousand geniuses. Three thousand geniuses, although outstanding, are not quite at the level of a backstab!
Therefore, entrusting the matter of recruiting disciples to Junior Brother Ma Liang was the best decision I, Chu Xinghe, have ever made in my life!
Just as Chu Xinghe started happily rocking out, Senior Brother Shen Chun suddenly popped out from some unexpected corner!
"Holy crap... Senior Brother Shen Chun, is something good coming up?" Chu Xinghe exclaimed in alarm. Senior Brother Shen Chun had appeared twice in one day, which was rather frightening.
Upon hearing Junior Brother Xinghe's words, Shen Chun smiled wryly and said, "Junior Brother Xinghe, you're wrong this time. It's probably not good news. The Earth Sha Evil Lord has arrived!"
