Thanks for the Little Treasures, Great Xinghe

The storm caused by the fact that three hundred warriors from the Muyue Kingdom became the first batch of disciples to be admitted to the inner sect of the Vast Heaven Sect without taking the exam was more violent than expected.

Many of the talented individuals who came for the selection nearly coughed up blood upon hearing this news. What merit did the Muyue Kingdom possess to deserve such treatment?

What happened to Chu Xinghe being said to be unfathomable?

Is this all there is to relationships?

In an instant, many arrogant geniuses turned around and left Haotian City.

A few years ago, I heard people say that the Vast Heaven Sect had declined, and I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that it is indeed true.

A sect that recruits disciples so carelessly—isn't this a sign of decline?

It seems the Vast Heaven Sect is all talk and no action.

We will go to the other Ten Great Sects, lead them against the tide, and trample the Vast Heaven Sect under our feet!

Haotian City, people from all the major sects are actually gathered here.

The recruitment of disciples by the Vast Heaven Sect is a momentous event every year. It can be said that geniuses from all over the world gather in Haotian City, and people from all the major sects in the world also come to Haotian City. However, due to their status, they cannot directly enter the city and wait outside Haotian City.

These are naturally the disciples that the Vast Heaven Sect doesn't want. After all, there are many applicants, but the Vast Heaven Sect only selects three thousand. The rest are highly sought-after.

Even if the Vast Heaven Sect doesn't want it, it would be a precious treasure in other sects.

In previous years, everyone would wait until the selection of three thousand disciples was over before they could recruit some of the unsuccessful disciples into their sects. But this year, wow, this is something else!

On his first day in Haotian City, Chu Xinghe instantly became one of the top three, adding to the excitement for everyone.

I heard that the three top players were just cursing as they left Haotian City when someone from Martial Emperor City snatched them up.

Martial Emperor City really hit the jackpot!

Those are the top three, but other sects aren't qualified to compete with Martial Emperor City.

Just as everyone was discussing this, Chu Xinghe's three hundred geniuses from the Muyue Kingdom once again caused a sensation in Haotian City. This time, a large number of arrogant geniuses, unable to tolerate Chu Xinghe's behavior, left Haotian City and prepared to join other families.

The various sects were all beaming with joy.

Thanks to my old friend from the Vast Heaven Sect for sending such an unparalleled genius...

Thank you so much, Xinghe, for sending this little treasure...

The various sects were filled with joyful songs and laughter.

In previous years, we always managed to snag some bargains, but this year, look... we even managed to bring in those ranked higher.

Please keep up the good work, Xinghe! With your help, how can our sects not prosper?

The number of disciples recruited by each sect is staggering.

Chu Xinghe was so happy upon hearing the news that he almost jumped for joy.

What unexpected bonuses await?

I thought recruiting useless people was exciting enough, but I never expected it would damage the sect's reputation so much!

This group of people went out shouting that the Vast Heaven Sect was going to decline and that they would never choose the Vast Heaven Sect again. This was too exciting.

Today is a good day... Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw... We can't sing this lousy song, it's bad luck. As the saying goes, a new year brings new beginnings, so it's time to change to a new tune.

Congratulations on your fortune! Congratulations on your wonderful life... This song is still the most festive.

Ma Liang's expression was grave. He had brought in a disciple from the Muyue Kingdom; could this have caused his Senior Brother Xinghe some enormous trouble?

If that were the case, I would be letting down Senior Brother Xinghe terribly.

Chu Xinghe had no idea what Ma Liang was thinking; otherwise, he would have comforted him, saying, "Ma Liang, you're overthinking it. How could your senior brother possibly blame you?"

Over the next two days, Haotian City was in constant turmoil, and geniuses from all sides continued to leave. Hearing these good news every day, Chu Xinghe felt that his luck had turned around in the new year.

Where is prosperity that lasts forever? Where is misfortune that lasts forever?

On this day, Deacon Yang found Chu Xinghe.

"Xinghe, tomorrow is the disciple assessment. What method do you plan to use this time?"

"An assessment?" Chu Xinghe was taken aback; he had almost forgotten about it.

"That's right. Although these disciples have already passed the first level of assessment and selection, they still need to go through the second level. As for the assessment methods for this second level, what are your thoughts?"

"Deacon Yang, how were the elders assessed in the past?"

"The methods for assessing elders have varied in the past. Some have re-evaluated the selection process according to the first level, while others have used their own methods. So, Xinghe, it's up to you to decide on the specific assessment method."

After Deacon Yang finished speaking, Chu Xinghe roughly understood that the second level of the assessment did not actually focus on the formalities.

After all, the first round of assessments had already confirmed that his talent was unquestionable, so the second round of assessments actually focused more on the elders' personal preferences.

This is why the people of Haotian City frantically inquired about his preferences when they heard that he was the supervisor.

Hearing that there was no fixed format, Chu Xinghe was excited. Didn't having no fixed format mean he could do whatever he wanted?

Looking at the snowflakes that had started falling again outside, Chu Xinghe instantly had an idea.

"Tomorrow morning, have all disciples participating in the assessment assemble at the training ground."

Deacon Yang waited for a long time, but Chu Xinghe didn't say anything more.

"Xinghe... and then what?"

"That's all..."

"No... that's all?"

What the heck... Gathering at the training ground first thing tomorrow morning? And that's it? Are you kidding me?

What is this assessment about? Is it assessing whether everyone is standing?

"So we'll just stand here in formation?"

"Yes!"

Deacon Yang: "..."

Good heavens, Deacon Yang's mind was completely blank right now.

Since he started taking charge of performance evaluations, he had never heard of such an outrageous method in his life. The so-called evaluation was just making everyone stand? What kind of evaluation was that? What could it possibly assess?

"Anyone who can't hold on or doesn't want to stand can leave," Chu Xinghe added.

Deacon Yang was completely bewildered.

Forget it... I really can't get involved in this selection process anymore, I'll just lie down... If Chu Xinghe says I should stand, then I'll stand.

Soon, Deacon Yang sent out the news about the assessment.

But as soon as the news broke, Haotian City was thrown into chaos again.

"Meet at the training ground first thing tomorrow morning... and then stand for the assessment?"

"What kind of bullshit assessment is this?"

"Is Chu Xinghe playing a trick on us?"

"I'm starting to think this is getting more and more unreliable. Maybe we should leave too."

Even geniuses have tempers. Look at the things Chu Xinghe has done since he came to Haotian City —are they even human?

This isn't an assessment; it's clearly a scam.

Who stands during an assessment? And then leaves if they can't stand it? That's an insult to everyone.

Sure enough, as soon as the news broke, another large group of people left Haotian City. The various sects Haotian City once again expressed their gratitude to Xinghe Lao Tie for sending such talented individuals...

The snow continued all night, and by morning it seemed to be getting heavier.

On the Haotian City Martial Arts Arena, all the disciples who came to Haotian City to participate in the second round of assessments gathered here.

After the news broke yesterday, many people were privately discussing whether there was some hidden trickery involved in the assessment.

But... what's the mystery behind standing there like that?

Could there be other assessments to come? But everyone was quickly disappointed.

Half a day had passed, and everyone standing on the training ground was practically covered in snow, yet Chu Xinghe hadn't even shown up.

Good heavens! A group of geniuses had never suffered such a humiliation. On the spot, a number of them jumped out and said they were quitting. "How can a genius like me endure such humiliation? If this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will. If no place wants me, I'll open a convenience store!"

People come and go, one batch after another.

Ma Liang panicked as he watched groups of people leave, cursing as they went.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, it's been a long day, shouldn't we let them go back and rest? About ten percent of them have already left, right?"

"Only one-tenth?" Chu Xinghe almost cursed after hearing that.

You bunch of geniuses are so spineless! You've been standing here all day, what's the point of you still being here?

He instructed Ma Liang to keep everyone standing, and anyone who left would be disqualified.

Chu Xinghe slept soundly that night, and the good news arrived as promised the next morning.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, another 20% left tonight, now only 70% remain."

"Keep standing!" Chu Xinghe said while eating breakfast.

Helpless, Ma Liang could only watch as more and more people left Haotian City, cursing and swearing.

Even the heavens seemed to be on Chu Xinghe's side. It snowed heavily for three days and three nights, and the geniuses outside also stood for three days and three nights. The number of disciples forced to leave was increasing, approaching 50%.

The news has spread throughout the land from Haotian City, and everyone is discussing it wildly. Has the Vast Heaven Sect gone mad?

Are they not planning to take any disciples?

While the Vast Heaven Sect's assessments are always difficult, they've never been this outrageous before. What is Chu Xinghe trying to do? Is he determined to drive everyone away?

In Martial Emperor City, Zheng Yu listened to the constant stream of news coming in and fell into deep thought.

"You're wrong. Senior Brother Xinghe is unfathomable. He doesn't follow formalities and his ideas are boundless. There must be a deeper meaning behind his actions this time!"

This time, Zheng Yu's words did not gain much approval. After all, Chu Xinghe had already driven away half of the geniuses, and the various sects that were blocking the entrance to Haotian City to recruit disciples were now shouting "Old Brother Xinghe is mighty!"

There's even talk from all sides that Chu Xinghe's actions this time are so grand, and that the Vast Heaven Sect is using its reputation as the number one sect in the world to insult all the geniuses. Many people who used to dream of sending their children to the Vast Heaven Sect are now wavering.

A number of people have already transferred their children to other sects. This is no longer just a matter of disciple assessment; Chu Xinghe's actions this time have affected the reputation of the Vast Heaven Sect.

Even if you are the number one sect in the world, you should never insult the geniuses of the world like this!

How can you humiliate me like this today? Who will want to join your Vast Heaven Sect in the future?

Everyone is saying that Chu Xinghe's reckless behavior will ultimately backfire on the Vast Heaven Sect!

Some people bring up the glory of Chu Xinghe's Spirit City, but that's just Spirit City. Chu Xinghe has the Medicine Saint Inheritance and the ability to identify stones, but accepting disciples is different. Disciples are chosen based on talent. With Chu Xinghe's series of actions, all kinds of exceptionally talented and principled individuals have left. So, how is your Vast Heaven Sect going to turn the tables?
