The Test: Top Three in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition?
As soon as Wu Xing these words...
The disciples of Mount Shu present, including the leaders, Peak Masters, and Peak Scion each peak, were all shocked.
"What?"
"The Ten Great Sects Grand Competition?"
"Top three?"
"I... I didn't hear wrong, did I?"
"The Second Elder actually intends to use Chen Changqing's Ten Great Sects Grand Competition to prove himself?"
"That's the highest-level competition among the righteous factions on the Nine Provinces Continent!"
"Aiming for a top-three finish among the top ten sects? That's way too difficult!"
Even with Chen Changqing's exceptional talent, he has only just entered the Tribulation Transcendence. It seems unlikely he'll achieve a top-three finish in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition!
"..."
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
Although what Chen Changqing had shown before was already quite impressive.
But everyone knows how difficult it is to achieve a top-three finish in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition.
Meanwhile, the various Peak Scion were all filled with surprise upon hearing this.
No one expected that Wu Xing would pose such a test.
"Although we are Peak Scion of the Shu Mountain Sacred Land, we are already considered among the most outstanding people within the Shu Mountain Sacred Land."
"But with our current strength, we haven't even met the minimum requirements to participate in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition."
"The Second Elder actually demanded that Chen Changqing achieve a top-three finish in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition?"
Zhan Qiongfeng's peak disciple, Ji Wuhen, exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with disbelief.
On the other side, Xu Ruochen, the peak master of Poxu Peak, upon hearing this, couldn't help but glance at himself slightly and mutter to himself:
"Isn't this test a bit too difficult?"
Would Chen Changqing... back down when faced with a difficult situation?
As he spoke, Xu Ruochen turned his gaze and looked directly at Chen Changqing.
Upon hearing this, Yue Qing, the peak master of Zhenyue Peak, trembled inwardly.
"This?"
"Top three in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition?"
Yue Qing was secretly startled, his face full of astonishment.
Considering that he was only barely able to participate in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition under his current state of activating the Earth Emperor Tyrant Body.
Wu Xing, on the other hand, actually demanded that Chen Changqing achieve a top-three finish in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition.
Meanwhile, the other Peak Scion all looked on in astonishment.
No one expected that Wu Xing would put Chen Changqing through such a test.
Aside from that, the leaders of each peak, while shocked, were quite satisfied with Wu Xing's proposal.
After all, they didn't want Chen Changqing to become the successor of the Mount Shu Sect Master Successor.
After a moment of silence, the Ancestor Yue Shen stepped forward and spoke first:
"The Second Elder is absolutely right."
"If Chen Changqing truly wants to be my Sect Master Successor the Mount Shu, then he must prove that he has the ability to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the Mount Shu!"
"This Ten Great Sects Grand Competition is indeed a good method of testing."
As Ancestor Yue Shen spoke, Ancestor Zhanqiong and the other peak leaders echoed his sentiments:
I second that!
"Seconded..."
Hearing that all the leaders of the major Main Peaks agreed, Wu Xing smiled slightly and looked directly at Wu Zhen.
At this moment, Wu Zhen's face was extremely pale.
Just now, he thought that his junior brother had changed his ways and wouldn't make things difficult for Chen Changqing. He praised Chen Changqing's talent and cleared his name.
Who would have thought that Wu Xing would present such a test in the end?
"Giggle..."
After a moment's hesitation, Wu Zhen couldn't help but grit his teeth, his anger burning fiercely within him.
In his opinion, Chen Changqing's talent and aptitude were indeed extraordinary, and his strength was also very strong.
However, achieving a top-three finish in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition is a rather unrealistic expectation.
The key is that if Chen Changqing had enough time, everything would be fine.
However, there is not much time left before the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition.
After some thought, Wu Zhen's brows furrowed, and he looked coldly at Wu Xing, saying in a deep voice:
"Junior brother."
"You... you must be crazy?"
"The Ten Great Sects Grand Competition is the grandest event in the Nine Provinces Continent."
"Even if my grand-disciple has exceptional talent and aptitude, you expect him to achieve a top-three finish in such a short time... isn't this deliberately making things difficult for him?"
As he said this, Wu Zhen's face had already turned ugly, and a sharp aura emanated from his body.
In Wu Zhen's view, Wu Xing had already corroborated Chen Changqing's statement earlier that the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique he had learned was not taught by the Demon Sect, but rather obtained from the cave abode of the True Person Qingxu.
In that case, Chen Changqing could not possibly be a spy for the Demon Sect.
Even if he were to forcefully establish Chen Changqing as the successor to the Mount Shu Sect Master Successor, the leaders of the major Main Peaks would have no objection and would be unable to find any grounds for rebuttal.
If Wu Xing were to continue his opposition, Wu Zhen wouldn't mind having a battle of Heavenly Monarch level with him.
When the time comes, let our strength speak for itself!
Seeing that Wu Zhen's aura was off, Wu Xing didn't care at all. Instead, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a cold smile.
He had already broken through to the level of Heavenly Monarch and was itching to fight back.
If Wu Zhen refused, he wanted to try and see who was stronger between him and Wu Zhen.
After thinking about it for a while, Wu Xing spoke up:
"Senior brother."
"Didn't Chen Changqing survive the Twelve-Colored Heavenly Tribulation?"
"With his exceptional talent, what difficulty would it be for him to advance his cultivation level before the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition begins?"
"Besides, if he doesn't even have the courage to accept such a test, then it's better not to give him the Sect Master Successor to the Shu Mountain Sacred Land!"
After Wu Xing said this, Wu Zhen's expression became even colder and more stern.
He could tell that Wu Xing from seclusion was entirely to oppose him.
"This time... I've really brought trouble upon this grand-disciple!"
"If it weren't for some grudges between me and Wu Xing, he wouldn't be making such a scene here."
"They even put forward such unrealistic tests!"
Wu Zhen sighed inwardly, knowing full well that Wu Xing weren't actually aimed at Chen Changqing, but rather a way of confronting him.
Just as Wu Zhen was lost in thought...
The group from Evergreen Peak.
"What?"
"Is this a major competition among the top merchants? Top three?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Hateful!"
"This is clearly making things difficult for our Holy Son!"
"Since the sword Divine Abilities the Holy Son used earlier were not taught by anyone from the Demon Sect, then there's no problem for him to win the Champion in this Seven Peaks Grand Competition."
"That's right. According to the rules, the successor to the Mount Shu Sect Master should rightfully be the Holy Son."
"..."
Many disciples of Evergreen Peak were discussing the matter with indignation.
It's obvious to everyone that Wu Xing, as well as the leaders of the major Main Peaks, were all doing it on purpose.
Upon hearing this, Liu Mu and the other core members of Evergreen Peak were all astonished.
They had all heard about the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition to some extent, and they all knew how difficult it was to achieve a top-three finish in such a prestigious competition.
