The vice dean's words were abruptly interrupted. He paused for a moment, and after clearly understanding what the old dean had said, his face suddenly turned extremely gloomy and ugly.
Everyone knows this very well.
Since the former dean has already said so, it means that the candidate for the new headmaster is not Saint Teacher Yan Qiong.
The Saint Teacher Yan Qiong Yanqiong had just felt had vanished without a trace.
His pupils widened slightly in disbelief, his face mirroring that of the vice dean—both were extremely grim.
Bai Wuya's two simple sentences instantly extinguished his joy, and his heart sank to the bottom.
The new head of the Supreme Institute... isn't him!?
If it wasn't him, who else could it be?
At this moment, the other holy masters also awkwardly interrupted their telepathic communication and shut their mouths.
The old dean's words made their previous congratulatory messages seem utterly ironic.
No one expected that the person the old dean favored was not Saint Teacher Yan Qiong.
So, they spent all that time offering their congratulations to the wrong person!
All the holy masters looked at Bai Wuya with a mixture of embarrassment, shock, and confusion, not understanding what kind of act he was putting on.
They observed Bai Wuya's eyes and expression, trying to find a trace of bias or answer within them.
Who else could the new headmaster be but Saint Teacher Yan Qiong?
No one present possessed a higher level of cultivation than him!
Saint Teacher Yan Qiong was also holding back his anger, coldly watching the others, waiting for Bai Wuya to speak.
He wanted to see who else could be the new headmaster if not himself!
Bai Wuya also spoke slowly at this moment.
" Lin Xuan... From today onwards, he will serve as the new head of the Supreme Institute!"
" Lin Xuan?"
" Lin Xuan!"
The voice, now altered in tone, rang out, leaving the group bewildered, some in shock, others utterly astonished, as if they were listening to something completely foreign.
The part of the holy masters who were puzzled were those who had been in seclusion or traveling for some time and had just returned. Upon hearing this name, they were all completely bewildered.
Who is Lin Xuan?
I've never heard of this name before.
However, those holy masters who have been staying in the Primordial Holy Heaven recently know who Lin Xuan is.
But the more I learned, the more shocked I became!
Lin Xuan... if I remember correctly, isn't he the monstrous genius who just became the leader of the Ten Saints?
Recalling the boy's expression, many of the holy masters frowned.
They acknowledged that Lin Xuan's performance in the academy competition and other aspects was indeed quite impressive.
But... what necessary connection does this have with becoming the head of the academy?
How can a freshman who isn't even at the Thearch Realm become the Dean of the Academy, a position that Half-Saint is qualified to hold!
"May I ask, Dean, is this Lin Xuan our newly arrived Holy Master of the Primordial Holy Heaven?" asked a Holy Master who had only recently returned and had no idea who Lin Xuan was.
Even the Saint Teacher Yan Qiong Yanqiong frowned, waiting inquisitively for Bai Wuya's answer.
He hasn't been in Holy Heaven recently, so he doesn't know who Lin Xuan is.
Bai Wuya said, " Lin Xuan is a new student enrolled in our Primordial Holy Heaven this year."
newborn!?
Students!!?
Those who knew who Lin Xuan was felt a sense of "This is indeed the Lin Xuan I know" upon hearing this.
But like the Holy Master who didn't know who Lin Xuan was, they were all bewildered and astonished, even wondering if they had already entered an illusion.
Otherwise, how would they have heard such an outlandish story?
They had assumed that Lin Xuan would at least be a Saint Master of the Inner Court.
And the result?
He is not only not a holy teacher, but he is merely a freshman!
newborn!!
Are you kidding me!
No matter how strong a student is, if they're not even at the Thearch Realm, what qualifications do they have to become the new Headmaster?
The dean... is he getting senile?
Upon hearing this news, the holy masters remained silent for a moment, but the meaning conveyed in their eyes was the same.
The head of the inner courtyard, whose status is on par with the vice-head, is at least Half-Saint level being. Even if there isn't a new Half-Saint, shouldn't the position be filled by one of the Ancient Emperor saint masters at the Thearch Realm Ninth Stage?
Why would you appoint a student in their twenties or thirties, who isn't even at the Thearch Realm, as such?
This is absolutely unbelievable!
After a brief moment of tension, the vice dean, his face ashen, spoke first, his voice low and angry.
I object!
He stood up, suppressing his anger, feeling utterly absurd.
"This Lin Xuan is indeed extraordinary. I admit he has great potential, but potential is not strength. The three inner court masters are the face of our Primordial Holy Heaven. How can we treat them as a joke, letting someone who is not even at the Thearch Realm take on these positions? If word gets out, how will the other nine Holy Heaven view our Primordial Holy Heaven?"
"That won't do!"
Even if it weren't for the Saint Teacher Yan Qiong becoming the head of the inner academy, he still couldn't accept a freshman becoming the head of the Supreme Institute and gaining a status equal to his own.
If word gets out, their already tarnished reputation as the Primordial Holy Heaven will be utterly humiliated.
I also object...
I object.
"That's right, I object too!"
Many respected teachers voiced their support after the vice-dean spoke up.
What they were thinking was pretty much the same as what the vice president was thinking.
Appointing a freshman as the head of the Supreme Institute —what kind of talk is that?!
One holy teacher after another voiced their opposition.
Only Elder Qi and Elder Zuo exchanged a glance, neither of them saying anything.
Bai Wuya listened to the objections raised one after another, but his expression remained unchanged, and he showed no anger.
When he proposed that Lin Xuan become the head of the academy, he was already mentally prepared for opposition.
but...
"Stop!"
After a calm voice, the oppressive aura of the Saint Realm descended suddenly, pressing down on the main hall and forcefully silencing all dissenting voices.
Under such terrifying pressure, everyone subconsciously fell silent and stared in astonishment at Bai Wuya.
At this moment, even the vice dean and the two Half-Saint level deans were feeling the pressure and could hardly breathe, their hearts trembling violently.
Their cultivation level was at the Half-Saint, and Bai Wuya had already begun to decline. If they hadn't felt Bai Wuya's pressure once again, they would have thought they had a chance to defeat him!
The Saint Realm, it truly is Saint Realm!
There's simply no comparison between Half-Saint and Saint Realm!
Even though Bai Wuya's lifespan is running out and he is already in a state of dying, he is Saint Realm, which means he is the existence at the very top of the Saint Heaven Realm. There is a qualitative difference between the Thearch Realm.
Despite the presence of four Half-Saint, countless Thearch Realm, and Ancient Emperor here, if a real fight were to break out...
The old dean could suppress everyone with a flick of his wrist!
Saint Realm!
That's exactly right!
After silencing all the noise, Bai Wuya looked around and said calmly, "There is no dispute that Lin Xuan has become the head of the Supreme Institute."
"What I'm saying isn't a discussion with you, but... an announcement."
Do you all understand?
