Flender was a shrewd man. How could he fail to understand what the other party meant? It wasn't as if he were actually blind.
He'd been slapped in the face right there on the spot. And that slap really stung!
But he didn't care anymore. Though he could no longer become a Spirit Master, he was determined to keep pursuing his ideals, even if it meant shamelessly pressing on.
"You don't know the whole story. At Spirit Hall, it's true that only those lofty Titled Douluo can become elders, but that isn't an absolute rule. People who've made outstanding contributions to Spirit Hall, as well as those who've had a profound influence on Douluo Continent, can be awarded an Elder Order and made honorary elders of Spirit Hall. They don't necessarily need the strength of a Titled Douluo."
Li Pu nodded and gestured toward everyone present. "Everyone here knows that you don't have to be a Titled Douluo to become an honorary elder. For example, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sect master is a Soul Saint, yet his sect has two Super Douluo. It became one of the Upper Three Sects and earned a Pope's Order, which gave him the position of honorary elder in Spirit Hall."
The others asked as if they were watching a joke, "So, what outstanding contribution has this elder of your Shrek made? Or what profound influence has he had on Douluo Continent?"
"This..."
Flender felt embarrassed. Because Li Pu had intervened, Yu Xiaogang—Yu Dash—had never received Bibi Dong's quiet assistance in being made an honorary elder. Even though there was a Pope's Order, it didn't belong to him. These days, Pope's Orders were issued to named recipients.
He stammered, "He's had a profound influence in the field of Spirit Master theory."
