Whoosh!
For a moment, the entire place erupted in an uproar!
In fact, even before the subordinate said it aloud, the moment Gray Liang Guang appeared, everyone's expressions had already changed!
"How... how could this be?"
When Zhang Hengxing saw the hazy gray glow on the Sensing Stone and heard the words "Lowest Grade," he froze on the spot as though struck by lightning.
How was this possible?!
He had clearly seen Su Xiaobai go from a Junior Quasi-Warrior to a Senior Quasi-Warrior within a single month!
There was no way he could have been mistaken!
But the Cultivation Aptitude that had been tested...
Impossible!
"Lowest Grade?!"
"What did I say? Hehe, now the young master has gotten himself into huge trouble!"
"No way, Lowest Grade! Then how did he become a Quasi-Warrior?"
"That's not right... if it were Lowest Grade, he shouldn't even have reached Quasi-Warrior yet!"
"..."
Anyone with even a little knowledge of Warriors knew that Lowest Grade Cultivation Aptitude meant one would almost certainly remain an ordinary person for life, unable to even step into the Quasi-Warrior realm!
Yet Su Xiaobai, standing before everyone now, was not only a genuine Senior Quasi-Warrior—the key was that he was exactly the same age as Zhang Hengxing. Both were only seventeen!
A seventeen-year-old Senior Quasi-Warrior.
There was no question that this signified extremely high Cultivation Aptitude!
Even if there was something fishy going on and his Cultivation Aptitude was not actually that high, it could not possibly be Lowest Grade!
"Lowest Grade?"
Zhang Henglong, along with the other upper echelons of the Zhang Family, all frowned. They exchanged glances and saw the confusion in one another's eyes.
They had guessed that Su Xiaobai might not possess the High Grade Cultivation Aptitude Zhang Hengxing had predicted.
But they had never imagined that it would turn out to be the most useless, Lowest Grade Cultivation Aptitude!
"With aptitude like that, how did he cultivate to become a Quasi-Warrior?"
Zhang Hengde was puzzled.
The other higher-ups were equally puzzled.
With such useless aptitude, he was destined to find it difficult to become a Warrior for life. Even if they crazily buried him under resources, they still would not be able to build him up!
"Mr. Su, may I ask how you broke through to become a Senior Quasi-Warrior with Lowest Grade Cultivation Aptitude?"
Zhang Henglong asked in a clear voice.
Everyone's gazes swiftly converged on Su Xiaobai, wanting to hear his answer.
"I don't know either!"
"Anyway, I just cultivated and cultivated, then I broke through!"
Su Xiaobai shrugged and spread his hands.
The clamor rose again.
Everyone began discussing it among themselves.
Zhang Henglong, Zhang Hengde, and the others were also quietly deliberating.
"Have you discussed it?"
"If you want to revoke my position as Guest Elder, it's not too late!"
Su Xiaobai said indifferently.
Even if he lost this Guest Elder position, Su Xiaobai was fully capable of hunting Fierce Beasts himself and slowly accumulating everything he needed... he had only become a Guest Elder to save himself some trouble, unlock and upgrade his cheat sooner, and raise his strength sooner.
Therefore, if he could remain a Guest Elder, he would. If not, he did not care for it.
"Mr. Su, you misunderstand. We merely have a few doubts!"
Zhang Henglong looked at Su Xiaobai, his gaze flickering.
After pondering for a moment, he had already made his decision.
"Guest Elder Su!"
Zhang Henglong slowly rose to his feet and gave Su Xiaobai a salute. "From today onward, you are the eighth Guest Elder of my Zhang Family!"
"Big Brother!"
"Family Head!"
"You can't!"
The moment Zhang Henglong said this, Zhang Hengde beside him and the Zhang Family Warriors below immediately changed expressions and cried out in succession.
He had Lowest Grade Cultivation Aptitude.
He was only a Quasi-Warrior.
Yet he was going to become a Guest Elder of their Zhang Family, ride above their heads, and have them treat him with courtesy?
In this world where strength reigned supreme, who would be willing to accept that?
"I am the Family Head. I have already made my decision on this matter. No more need be said!"
Zhang Henglong swept his gaze over them and spoke with authority.
Su Xiaobai secretly nodded to himself.
This Family Head was not bad!
Not only could he remain calm in a situation like this, but he could also make a prompt decision. He truly counted as a wise Family Head.
With Zhang Henglong around, even if the Zhang Family did not prosper, at the very least it would not decline!
"Family Head, I refuse to accept this!"
A man in black, with a scar on his face and seemingly in his thirties, stepped out from the surrounding crowd. He dropped to one knee and said coldly, "A mere Senior Quasi-Warrior—what right does he have to become a Guest Elder of my Zhang Family? If word of this spreads, where will the Zhang Family's dignity be?"
The others present did not speak, but they silently nodded, agreeing with what this Zhang Family Warrior had said.
Su Xiaobai glanced at the man.
Human: Zhang Feiyang Realm Level: Beginner Warrior Strength Level: Beginner Warrior Stamina Level: Beginner Warrior Agility Level: Beginner Warrior Cultivation Aptitude: Low Grade Cultivated Techniques: Rainbow Demon Strength (Intermediate), Shadow Demon Kill (Intermediate)
"Low Grade Warrior."
"Two intermediate Beginner Level techniques."
"Not bad!"
Su Xiaobai had already formed a rough judgment in his mind.
"Zhang Feiyang, then how do you wish to settle this?"
Zhang Henglong said impassively.
"I will not bully Mr. Su either!"
"As long as he can defeat any Senior Quasi-Warrior junior of our Zhang Family, I will accept him as a Guest Elder of the Zhang Family!"
"But if he cannot win, Family Head, I imagine it will not only be me who refuses to accept this—likely no one else in the Zhang Family will be convinced either! At that time, please have Mr. Su return the Ten Thousand Spirit Coins in full, and let us pretend today's matter never happened!"
Zhang Feiyang said solemnly.
The people beside him all nodded in agreement.
Even Zhang Hengde nodded. "That is indeed how it should be!"
Zhang Henglong's gaze grew thoughtful.
"Guest Elder Su, are you willing to accept this proposal?"
Zhang Henglong asked.
"Father!"
"Guest Elder Su only became a Senior Quasi-Warrior a few days ago. He has not even had time to cultivate any techniques—how can he duel? This is unfair to him!"
Zhang Hengxing, standing nearby, could not help speaking up.
He had invited Su Xiaobai purely because he had valued Su Xiaobai's exceptionally high Cultivation Aptitude... after all, once Su Xiaobai grew stronger, it would be too late to recruit him.
Although he did not know why Su Xiaobai's tested Cultivation Aptitude had shown up as Lowest Grade, someone who had only recently become a Senior Quasi-Warrior, had never cultivated any techniques, and lacked even the slightest combat experience—how could he possibly have a fair duel?
Su Xiaobai was the one he had invited.
Naturally, he had to stand on Su Xiaobai's side!
"Yes, this really is rather unfair!"
Before Zhang Henglong could respond, Su Xiaobai below spoke directly. "What is the point of sending out some Senior Quasi-Warrior junior from the Zhang Family?"
"Since I am a Guest Elder, I should display the bearing of a Guest Elder. Brother, since you are the one questioning me, why not be my opponent instead?"
Whoosh!
Su Xiaobai's words caused another uproar!
A Senior Quasi-Warrior wanted to challenge a Beginner Warrior?
The gap between them appeared to be only one level, but the difficulty of crossing that level was comparable to a heavenly punishment!
Su Xiaobai had not originally wanted to be so high-profile either.
But he had no choice!
Refund the money?
What kind of joke was that?!
He had already spent all the money. How was he supposed to refund it?
Originally, he had wanted to get along with everyone peacefully, but today, he had no choice. Su Xiaobai was done pretending—he could only lay all his cards on the table!
