Chapter 602: Mediocrity
Just as Luo Qianyi landed, Qin Zhenhuan, who was sitting in the audience, stood up.
“Clap, clap, clap…”
Applause floated between his palms.
Accompanying the not-so-loud applause was his comment.
“What an incredible Two-way Energy, what a talented young man!”
When the crowd heard the phrase “Two-way Energy,” a sharp gaze suddenly swept towards the arena.
Xiao Shun immediately reacted and looked at the person, feeling slightly surprised.
Indeed, it was a peak Foundation Stage cultivator!
Xiao Shun smiled slightly as he looked at the middle-aged man with white sideburns and sharp eyes.
The man also smiled back, but his smile seemed somewhat stiff.
Most of the people present didn’t know what “Two-way Energy” meant, but this elderly man named Zhang Tianlai had a deep understanding of it.
To be able to use such a skill, one must have an extraordinary control over the energy shield, which only the grandmasters could achieve.
And this young man in front of them was unexpectedly strong?
At the same time, Qin Zhenhuan lightly said to Luo Qianyi, who was still unable to move from his spot in the audience, “Qianyi, sit down… There’s no shame in being defeated by this young man!”
Not to mention young cultivators like Luo Qianyi, even many older figures might not be able to match Xiao Shun.
This was Qin Zhenhuan’s true thought, although he was somewhat superficial.
After all, the strength displayed by Xiao Shun at this moment was just the tip of the iceberg!
After hearing his master’s comforting words, Luo Qianyi’s initially ashamed expression finally eased. He never questioned his mentor’s words.
He returned to his seat and sat down, while Shen Mohan stared in astonishment at Luo Qianyi, who seemed calm.
“Senior Brother, you…”
Before he could finish his words, Luo Qianyi waved his hand to interrupt, “No need to say more. I am far from his match!”
“This person is very strong!”
Ye Xun, who was sitting next to them, agreed.
Luo Qianyi nodded, “The reason I lost before to Senior Ye was due to underestimating the enemy. But after this personal test, I realized I was stuck in my own little world!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Xun forced a bitter smile, “Hehe, before clashing with the Zhang family from the capital, our Northleap’s morale was already suppressed. It seems that this competition will ultimately end in their favor.”
Luo Qianyi was taken aback, and his brows furrowed tightly.
Today’s exhibition match at Plum Park was actually a struggle between the Old School Societies of the capital and Northleap. Little did they know that before the two factions could start their competition, Xiao Shun had unexpectedly emerged from nowhere and caught Northleap off guard.
With each passing moment, it seemed that the situation was becoming more unfavorable!
Similarly, most of the members of the Northleap Old School Society realized this and their faces changed drastically.
As for the people from the capital’s Zhang family, their faces were filled with delight.
It must be said that Xiao Shun’s actions just now greatly benefited the Zhang family, allowing them to reap the rewards.
But can things really be that simple?
Obviously, it was impossible!
Xiao Shun picked up the microphone, a smile playing on his lips.
This was a great opportunity to promote his New School Society, and he wouldn’t let it slip away.
“I’ve always heard that the Old School Society has poor management, and in recent years, they have been neglecting the resource allocation among their branch associations, resulting in increasingly severe resource imbalances. I, an ordinary person, want to completely turn this situation around. Therefore, I have established the New School Society, and I am now recruiting talents during this intense period in Northleap!”
On the stage, Xiao Shun held the microphone firmly, every word resolute!
Under the arena, the members of the Old School Society were stunned. How could someone dare to attack the Old School Society like this? They should know that this organization has stood tall in this country for countless years. How could its roots and power be overturned by a few words?
New School Society? Recruiting talents? What is that?
Countless cultivators were filled with confusion in their minds!Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Suddenly, silence fell upon the venue.
Everyone remained motionless, their eyes fixed on Xiao Shun on the stage, observing this arrogant young man.
“Bold!” Suddenly, someone stood up and shouted.
That reprimanding voice, like thunder on a clear day, resounded in everyone’s ears.
The sound waves reverberated, sweeping through the walls of the venue.
Xiao Shun didn’t speak, but he looked at the person with great interest.
“Daring to disrespect the might of the Old School Society, what are you?” Zhang Guangfu glared, staring directly at Xiao Shun with a mocking gaze.
“Heh!” Xiao Shun chuckled and retorted, “And what about you? Shouting and yelling at me, what are you?”
Suddenly, the people from the Zhang family turned grim.
In the Hall of Cultivation, Zhang Guangfu held a respected position. He never expected to be ridiculed by a nobody today. It was a great insult!
With a grim face, Zhang Guangfu slammed the ground and said in a resolute voice, “I won’t engage in pointless arguments with you. If you don’t kneel down and apologize today, both our Zhang family and the Old School Society will hunt you down, even if it takes us to the ends of the earth!”
“The Zhang family?” Xiao Shun shrugged and sneered, “I don’t even care about the Old School Society, let alone your insignificant Zhang family.”
He paused, his eyes turning cold. “In my eyes, all of you are nothing but farts!”
As soon as the words fell, the hall erupted in commotion!
In this country, there were a few who would say that the Zhang family was nothing, but there was absolutely no one who would dare say that the Old School Society was nothing!
After all, it was the highest realm of cultivation in this country, filled with powerful individuals who dominated the martial arts world.
How formidable was this force? What were those so-called families in the eyes of the colossal Old School Society?
Even so, today there was someone who wasn’t afraid of death, daring to proclaim that the Old School Society was nothing. It was truly shocking.
Just then, Qin Zhenhuan suddenly walked out with brisk steps, a light smile on his face, and spoke up to defend Xiao Shun.
“Haha, young people are always full of vigor. We, the elders, don’t need to stoop down to their level. Brother Guangfu, you have been a renowned grandmaster for many years. There’s no need to argue with this young man. Let’s get back to the main topic of tonight!”
Zhang Guangfu ignored Qin Zhenhuan’s attempt to save the situation and stared fixedly at Xiao Shun on the stage, his voice as cold as ice. “Brother Zhenhuan, we’ll talk about the competition later. If we don’t eliminate this person today, how can our Zhang family stand in the future?”
As soon as his words fell, they were met with numerous agreements from the Zhang family members.
“We must eliminate this person! We must eliminate him!”
Seeing this, Qin Zhenhuan inwardly exclaimed, “This is bad.” He quickly walked to the side of the furious Zhang Guangfu, ready to offer some advice.
“Brother Guangfu…”
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Guangfu coldly interrupted, “Brother Zhenhuan, this is a matter concerning my Zhang family. Please don’t interfere. If you insist on doing so, then prepare for war!”
Qin Zhenhuan’s face changed, and his lips trembled, but he remained silent.
He admired Xiao Shun, but the young man’s actions were too provocative. After all, insulting the Old School Society and the Zhang family in their presence was undoubtedly courting death!
Even if he wanted to intervene, Qin Zhenhuan was helpless.
Because he represented not only himself but also the entire Northleap Old School Society!
