First, Turn Away the Top Three to Liven Things Up!

Ma Liang went to make arrangements for interpersonal relationships.

Chu Xinghe sat alone in a room piled high with rosters, feeling dejected.

Nine points... eight points... nine and a half points... what is this?!

Are there really that many geniuses in the world?

Don't you geniuses ever have anything serious to do?

Why did they suddenly come to the Vast Heaven Sect?

Wouldn't it be better to find a small, insignificant sect, stage a comeback, and lead the entire sect to great heights?

Do you know what it means to offer help in times of need?

If all else fails, you can go to Martial Emperor City, lead it to surpass the Vast Heaven Sect, and become the number one in the world. Doesn't that sound exciting?

"Xinghe, how's it going?" Deacon Yang walked in from outside, holding a roster with gold trim.

"Greetings, Deacon Yang. I haven't finished reading it yet, but it's all very good."

"Haha... the best one is here!"

Deacon Yang had a big smile on his face, while Chu Xinghe looked like he was about to explode!

Is there anything better? Deacon Yang is really unreliable.

Soon, the roster was delivered to Chu Xinghe. After opening the roster and glancing at it, Chu Xinghe was furious.

There are only ten people on the roster, all of whom have top-notch qualifications in every aspect. To put it simply, they are the kind of people who could enter the Vast Heaven Sect just by looking at their descriptions.

"I've already asked the first three in line to come and pay their respects. Xinghe, take a look?"

Deacon Yang quickly arranged for someone to bring three young men.

"Greetings, Lord Xinghe." The three young men appeared somewhat nervous and also quite humble.

The three then introduced themselves. The one listed first was named Mo Kai, who was seventeen years old. His name was recorded on the roster in five whole pages.

They start learning martial arts at three, master it at five, kill wolves at seven, and tigers at eight, progressing at lightning speed, one step at a time each year—the kind of people who are unparalleled at first glance.

With such talent, what are you doing at my Vast Heaven Sect?

What have my Vast Heaven Sect done to offend you?

The next two were not much different either; calling them geniuses would be an understatement.

After the three finished introducing themselves, they waited expectantly for Chu Xinghe to speak, while Deacon Yang stood by with a smile on his face.

According to past practice, the top three are also called the "Top Three". Unlike ordinary disciples, the Top Three do not need to undergo further examinations and can pass directly.

Therefore, Deacon Yang believed that Chu Xinghe would definitely approve it with a stroke of his pen!

Then, under Deacon Yang's watchful gaze, Chu Xinghe made a bold stroke of his pen!

Dismissed!

What the heck?

Deacon Yang almost thought he had gone blind. When he confirmed that Chu Xinghe had crossed out the three names and written "discouragement" instead of "approval," Deacon Yang was completely dumbfounded!

"You do not meet the requirements of my Vast Heaven Sect. Please choose another place." Chu Xinghe said calmly.

These words stunned not only Deacon Yang, but also the three prodigies.

What the heck? We were among the top three in this year's audition process! We weren't the top three who were forced to withdraw!

Is there a mistake?

Before the three could even offer any rebuttal, Chu Xinghe waved his hand, and his entourage of people with connections led them away.

"Xinghe... this..." Deacon Yang's eyes went black; he was dumbfounded by this reverse operation.

"Deacon Yang, you may not know this, but the information on these three individuals is too perfect, which makes me feel somewhat strange. I strongly suspect that they might be Demonic Sect trying to infiltrate my Vast Heaven Sect."

Spy?

Deacon Yang was speechless. Xinghe, isn't your reason a bit too far-fetched?

Even if they might be a spy, shouldn't we at least take them in and observe them first? Is it really acceptable to reject the top three without even asking?

Chu Xinghe looked serious. Was his reason far-fetched?

This isn't even a question of whether it's far-fetched or not; this reasoning is utterly absurd.

But there's nothing I can do. These three guys' records are just too damn perfect. I can't even find a reason to dismiss them. That's why I can't find a reason, otherwise, they wouldn't even be in the top ten, let alone the top three.

Compared to Deacon Yang's bewilderment, the members of the social etiquette group all looked at Senior Brother Xinghe with solemn expressions.

To be honest, their first reaction to Senior Brother Xinghe's instant elimination of the top three was one of bewilderment, but they quickly recalled what Senior Brother Xinghe had done in Spirit City.

When Spirit City Senior Brother Xinghe first arrived in Spirit City and defied all opposition to instantly buy Tianyi Spirit Mine, creating the shortest spirit mine transaction record in history, everyone in the world thought Senior Brother Xinghe was a fool.

But what was the result?

Now, everyone who mentions this incident wishes they could give each other a big pat on the back.

Therefore, it's highly likely that Senior Brother Xinghe was referring to a spy. Even if they aren't spies, these three people are definitely suspicious. Senior Brother Xinghe's actions are always unpredictable; how could we possibly fathom his intentions?

Although Deacon Yang was bewildered, he was aware of what had happened in Spirit City. So, even though he Chu Xinghe was up to after the top three were instantly defeated, he could only Watch Quietly as Things Change.

Outside Beppu, Mo Kai and his three companions were left bewildered on the street.

Right now, people everywhere are pointing and gossiping about the three of them.

Just now, when the three of them followed Deacon Yang inside, they were truly full of vigor and high spirits.

Countless people were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment towards them.

Look, these are the top three. They didn't even need to take the exam; they became inner disciples directly. How enviable!

But less than fifteen minutes later... the top three were thrown out!

When news broke that Chu Xinghe had rejected the top three candidates with a single stroke of his pen, an uproar erupted outside the villa.

"Holy crap... What kind of incredible move is Chu Xinghe making?"

"The top three... the entire top three were rejected? They don't even need to participate in the assessment, they're just kicked out?"

"I know this Mo Kai. He's incredibly talented and ranked number one this time, yet Chu Xinghe rejected him outright?"

"Could it be that Chu Xinghe is wary of the three's talent and afraid that they will surpass him in the Future?"

"Young man, you have quite the imagination... Who is Chu Xinghe? Do these three guys even deserve to be mentioned?"

Various discussions arose one after another. On his first day in Haotian City, Chu Xinghe dismissed the top three contestants, causing a sensation throughout the Haotian City.

Ultimately, it was speculated that the reason these three individuals were not lacking in talent was definitely due to a lack of moral integrity!

The top three left Haotian City cursing.

The three of them left with tears in their eyes.

Being rejected is bad enough, but to be branded as having questionable character is even worse? Who can I complain to?

The three stood at the gate of Haotian City, shouting, "Let's go to Martial Emperor City! In the Future, we will definitely lead Martial Emperor City to crush Vast Heaven Sect under our feet!"

When the news reached the other residence, Ma Liang shouted that he wanted to go out and teach them a lesson, but Chu Xinghe stopped him.

What are you lecturing them about?

Look how well they put it!

Entering the Martial Emperor City, dedicating this life to striving to surpass the Vast Heaven Sect —what's wrong with that?

The three of them truly lived up to their good intentions! Keep it up, I believe in you!

Ma Liang, who had been stopped, sighed to himself, "It's only because it's Senior Brother Xinghe that they dared to curse like that. If it were anyone else, they would definitely regret it."

No wonder Senior Brother Xinghe looked down on these three. They couldn't even withstand such a small test, and they call themselves top three? I, last year's top student, feel ashamed.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, the person I introduced has arrived." Ma Liang cautiously introduced the person he had contacted after making sure no one was around.

All the people I contacted this time came from a small country called Muyue Kingdom. This small country is adjacent to the Ma Lineage where Ma Liang is located, and can be considered a friendly neighbor. This highlights the importance of human relationships!

Although the Muyue Kingdom is extremely small, consisting of only one city, it is quite famous.

The Muyue Kingdom is renowned for the Muyue Kingdom share a common trait: they possess a special constitution imbued with the Wood Spirit.

Generally speaking, those with special spiritual bodies are geniuses among geniuses.

But the geniuses of the Muyue Kingdom... are a little different.

Their unique spiritual entities grant them special talents; all the geniuses of the Muyue Kingdom possess a Wood Spirit Power.

How should I put it? This thing perfectly fits the three elements of a total rip-off.

Rare, difficult to cultivate, and practically useless.

The only known use of Wood Spirit Power so far is healing, but the effectiveness of that healing is... well, if you have even one pill, you can't choose to be healed by them.

It's not that no one has tried to cultivate geniuses from the Muyue Kingdom. For example, the East Moon Pavilion did it. Although the sect's resources were severely depleted, the disciples from the Muyue Kingdom were quite promising. I heard that the best one's healing ability is almost on par with the lowest-grade Blood Pill.

Tell me, isn't it strong?

The geniuses of the Muyue Kingdom are like eagles in a glass house; their future is bright, but if you dare to spread your wings and fly, you'll be crippled no matter where you fly...

The Muyue Kingdom of the ultimate genius at staged accidents is well-deserved.

After hearing Ma Liang's introduction, Chu Xinghe was stunned!

"Senior Brother Xinghe, I know that Muyue Kingdom has become a laughing stock in the outside world, but their talents are truly exceptional. I simply cannot bear to see their Muyue Kingdom live their lives with regret!"

Chu Xinghe didn't hear what Ma Liang said, but right now all Chu Xinghe wanted to do was hug Ma Liang and give him a kiss.

Lucky General Ma! From this day forward, you are the number one lucky general in my eyes, Chu Xinghe!

Oh my god... what a surprise!

After racking my brains for so long, all I could come up with were those tattered lists that Deacon Yang had sent.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if I were to select disciples from the bottom up, the ones I choose would definitely not be too bad, because their foundation is already there.

With such qualifications, how can one possibly pioneer the "trash-to-goodness" genre?

But the "genius" from the Muyue Kingdom that Ma Liang sent was the unparalleled genius he had been searching for!

It consumes sect resources... serves absolutely no purpose... even as a support role it's difficult to manage...

If such a group of people were to enter the sect, I would call them the strongest.

"How many of them are there?!" Chu Xinghe's eyes turned red.

"Three... three hundred... Senior Brother Xinghe, I know that might be too many people. We don't need that many... as long as we can give them a chance..."

"Only three hundred? Keep them all!"

Ma Liang: "???"

Chu Xinghe was moved to tears. "Lucky General Ma, I misjudged you before. With these three hundred warriors from the Muyue Kingdom at my disposal, tell me, even if I have to lie down and give up, how can I possibly lose this round!"
