Determination!
As soon as Chen Changqing uttered those words, it was as if a large stone had been thrown into a calm lake.
Just now, when they heard the conditions proposed by Wu Xing, the people of Mount Shu present found it unbelievable.
Many people even thought that Chen Changqing was going to back down.
To everyone's surprise, Chen Changqing actually agreed.
"What?"
"I... I didn't hear wrong, did I?"
"Chen Changqing actually agreed to the Second Elder's request?"
What's going on?
"Achieving a top-three finish in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition?"
"He's only just entered the Tribulation Transcendence! In less than ten years, how much can he possibly improve?"
"..."
Many disciples of Mount Shu gasped in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief.
Everyone knows how difficult it is to achieve a top-three finish in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition.
Upon hearing Chen Changqing's agreement, the expressions of the various Peak Scion all changed.
"Ah?"
"He actually agreed?"
"Judging from his expression, he seems quite confident?"
"That's the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition!"
"How difficult is it to get into the top three?"
"Or is it that Chen Changqing merely agreed casually, and has actually already given up on becoming the successor to the Sect Master?"
"..."
The Peak Scion gasped in surprise, all staring at Chen Changqing in disbelief.
Upon hearing this, Yue Qing, the peak master of Zhenyue Peak, glanced at the sky, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
But then, deep down, he felt a surge of excitement.
"Good!"
"Putting everything else aside, the fact that Chen Changqing had the courage to agree to the Second Elder's request sets him far apart from the others."
"I wonder what level he'll reach in ten years?"
"And me, if I could reach the True Lord Realm, combined with the Emperor Tyrant Body, I might very well be able to compete with the other sects in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition!"
"Maybe..."
Thinking of this, Yue Qing's mind was shaken.
In the previous arena battle, he activated his Earth Sovereign Bloodline and entered the Emperor Tyrant Body state, and his cultivation level rose from the Mid Tribulation Transcendence Transcending to the True Lord level.
Even so, he ultimately lost to Chen Changqing.
Although Yue Qing admired Chen Changqing's strength, deep down he still felt some resentment and unwillingness.
In Yue Qing's view, Chen Changqing has now agreed to the request of the Supreme Second Elder Wu Xing to participate in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition.
This might also be an opportunity for Yue Qing.
Perhaps, he will be able to compete with Chen Changqing again in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition.
"Call..."
After a moment's thought, Yue Qing couldn't help but take a deep breath, his hands already clenched into fists.
Meanwhile, the leaders behind the major Main Peaks were also surprised when Chen Changqing agreed.
Previously, they had strongly supported Wu Xing's proposal.
If Chen Changqing can achieve a top-three finish in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition, then they will recognize his status as the Sect Master Successor.
In the eyes of the various leaders, although Chen Changqing has exceptional talent and aptitude, he has only just entered the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Even if he wants to grow, it will take time.
Currently, there are less than ten years left until the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition.
They didn't believe that Chen Changqing could improve his strength to the point of being able to achieve a top-three finish in the competition within just ten years.
Now that Chen Changqing has agreed, the leaders are naturally delighted.
After all, if Chen Changqing doesn't get into the top three in the competition, then he'll have no chance of becoming the Sect Master of the Mount Shu.
In that case, their other major Main Peaks would still have a chance.
Meanwhile, at the same time, the group from Evergreen Peak were present.
Seeing Chen Changqing step forward and readily agree, the many disciples of Evergreen Peak were all taken aback.
"What?"
"The Holy Son agreed so easily?"
"This... this is clearly a conspiracy between the Second Elder and the leaders of the various peaks!"
"The Holy Son will not allow it!"
"With Ancestor Wuzhen backing him up, what difference does it make if he doesn't agree?"
"Ten years is an incredibly difficult time to raise one's strength to the level required to rank in the top three of the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition."
"What exactly is the Holy Son thinking?"
"..."
Many members of Evergreen Peak exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with disbelief as they looked at Chen Changqing.
Even core members of Evergreen Peak, such as Liu Mu, Ran Hua, and Wang Yang, looked bewildered and lost.
They had initially thought that Chen Changqing was very likely to refuse.
After all, with his grandmaster Wu Zhen present, he would never allow his grand-disciple to suffer such unfair treatment.
But to everyone's surprise, Chen Changqing actually stepped forward and readily agreed to Wu Xing's request.
"Holy crap!"
"Has my junior nephew gone mad?"
"He... he agreed to all those unreasonable demands?"
"Those are the top three in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition!"
Lu Tian was stunned, his head buzzing, never expecting Chen Changqing to agree.
Chen Yuan stood there, stunned, his expression somewhat strange.
In fact, for Chen Yuan, whether Chen Changqing becomes the Sect Master of Mount Shu or not doesn't matter much.
In particular, after seeing Chen Changqing attract the Twelve-Colored Heavenly Tribulation and successfully Tribulation Transcendence, Chen Yuan knew that the mere Shu Mountain Sacred Land was not Chen Changqing's domain at all.
"What is my disciple thinking?"
"Does he really have the confidence to achieve a top-three finish in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition ten years from now?"
"Or is it that he doesn't care about the identity of the successor to the Mount Shu Sect Master Successor at all, so he agreed to Second Uncle's request without any pressure?"
The more Chen Yuan thought about it, the more his brows furrowed.
Suddenly, he realized that he, as the master, seemed to be seeing less and less of his disciple.
On the other side, Wu Zhen, who was confronting Wu Xing, had a sudden change in expression after seeing Chen Changqing agree to Wu Xing's request.
"Changqing Kid!"
"This is not the time for you to act tough!"
Wu Zhen's gaze darkened, and he looked directly at Chen Changqing.
As Heavenly Monarch Sovereign, he was well aware that Chen Changqing's talent and aptitude were indeed extraordinary.
But how difficult it is to raise one's cultivation level from the Early Tribulation Transcendence Realm to the point where one can rank among the top three in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition in just ten years.
That's why, after seeing Chen Changqing agree so readily, he realized that Chen Changqing might have acted somewhat impulsively.
"Ha ha!"
Before Chen Changqing could reply, Wu Xing suddenly burst into laughter and said:
"Well!"
"You've got guts, kid."
"I originally thought you wouldn't dare to agree to this elder's request."
At this point, Wu Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, a sly glint in his gaze.
He was naturally pleased to see Chen Changqing agree.
After all, in his opinion, even if Chen Changqing had another ten years to cultivate, he would not be able to achieve a top-three ranking in the Ten Great Sects Grand Competition, given his current cultivation level.
