Above the Hall, the leader of the four peaks looked at Luo Feng with a strange expression on his face.
On the path of martial dao, potential was of the utmost importance. It was better to train hard for a hundred years than to train once. Talent decided a person's cultivation speed, and it even determined a person's highest achievement in martial arts.
This point, the people of Burning Sun Sect had a deeper understanding.
Even those who became sect masters had mediocre aptitudes and mediocre Cultivation Level. This not only led to the decline of the Burning Sun Sect, it also led to the doom of the entire clan. At that time, it had also relied on the help of an old senior from the sect s to barely escape this calamity.
In order to change this difficult situation, after Ling Xiaotian succeeded to become sect master, he started to reorganize himself, including setting up a Admission assessment system. The reason for that was because he wanted to select talented people, and the person who ranked first in all the years was even a candidate to be the next sect leader of the sect.
"However, this year, the disciple who took the first place in the examination, Luo Xiu, had only mediocre, and could not even be considered to be in the middle. This level of talent is basically equivalent to a handful of others, if this can be counted as the first, then it seems that this year's level of disciples is really not that great."
The Peak Master of the Qingyang Peak, Liang Wuji, who was seated to the far left, shook his head as he thought about this, his face filled with emotion.
"Hehe, didn't Senior Brother Liang say last year that he would accept a successor for Qingyang Peak? I think that this year's first place is pretty good, Senior Brother Liang can take it!" The one who spoke was a fat short middle-aged man who was the second from the right. He was Pingyang Peak's Peak Master, Hong De.
Although the Burning Sun Sect had a hundred years of history, and the seven meridians of the sect were kind on the surface, they still had to compete with each other. When Hong De opened his mouth first, of course Liang Wuji would not remain silent.
"Junior brother Hong must be joking. Everyone, don't forget, last year, when we accepted a disciple, Junior brother Lu made an appointment to be the first in this year's assessment!" As Liang Wuji said that, he guided everyone's attention to Lu Cheng who was at the side.
Lu Cheng, the master of the Fierce Sun Summit, immediately flushed red and shouted, "I did indeed say that, but I want a decent and good seedling to be nurtured properly, not like this!"
"Cough, cough!"
Lu Cheng had not even finished speaking, when the only female Xue Fengying suddenly coughed, interrupting his words.
Just as their eyes met, Lu Cheng felt himself being glared at by this Senior Sister who had an unyielding personality. Only then did he realize that he had said something wrong and immediately shut up.
The people on the Hall were all dumbfounded. After listening to the few Martial Uncle s argue for a long time, no one was willing to take Luo Xiu as their disciple!
Accepting disciples was a small matter, but in case they accepted someone with such a mediocre aptitude as the champion, no matter how many resources and effort they expended to nurture him, it would be a waste. In the future, they would inevitably be mocked by their peers, and it was precisely because of this mentality that a few Division Commander s fought to send Luo Xiu to someone else.
No one was willing to take first place in Admission assessment! This was the first time such a strange occurrence happened in the Burning Sun Sect, and of course, the disciples could not help but discuss it amongst themselves. In an instant, the envious gaze that was shot towards Luo Xiu turned into suspicion and ridicule.
Luo Xiu also understood the current situation, although he did not show it on the surface, but he was feeling bitter in his heart, in the end, the first place?
Even the usually calm Ling Xiaotian could not help but frown as he stood out and presided over the situation: "Since junior brothers are so humble, then Junior Sister Xue, can I trouble you to bring this disciple back to the Chiyang Peak for cultivation?"
Even Sect Master Ling Xiaotian was a little afraid. When he said these words, it wasn't in a commanding tone, but an inquiring tone.
"Senior Brother Sect Leader." Xue Fengying glanced at Ling Xiaotian with an ice-cold expression. "You should know that my Chiyang Peak has never allowed Men to set foot inside!"
These words showed no mercy at all and immediately rejected Ling Xiaotian's suggestion.
"I can't help Senior Brother Sect Leader with that, but I can train the little girl beside him."
Just as Xue Fengying finished speaking, everyone's gaze turned to the young lady beside Luo Xiu, Chu Hongling.
Seemingly at the same time, Liang Wuji, Lu Cheng, and Hong De's eyes lit up. This Chu Hongling's root bone was extraordinary, and was extremely gifted in martial arts! Upon closer inspection, they realized that the elemental energy fluctuations from Chu Hongling's body were actually stronger than even Luo Xiu's. She had already stepped into the middle stage of Martial Disciple!
"This is what a talented person should be, he should be a talent that should be heavily groomed!" The Peak Masters all thought at the same time, "With such an unpolished jade here, how could that rotten wood get first place in the assessment?"
At the same time, a question also arose in everyone's hearts. Wang Ping, who was in charge of the assessment, immediately received a lot of questioning looks, and became extremely embarrassed.
Ling Xiaotian muttered to himself, while Liang Wuji and the rest all thought that something was wrong. Just as Hong De was about to open his mouth to fight, he was suddenly stared at by Xue Fengying, and just swallowed his words back in surprise. After a while, Ling Xiaotian said: "Since Junior Sister Xue has taken a fancy to this female disciple, then let her enter your tutelage!"
Xue Fengying heard the good news, but her expression did not change, and only nodded slightly: "Thank you Senior Brother Sect Leader."
When the other three vein peak masters saw this, they couldn't help but be secretly angered. The real good seedling had been taken by Xue Fengying, and the remaining one who had somehow obtained the first place in the examination was actually a rotten piece of wood!
Ling Xiaotian paused for a moment, and then said: "Then, which junior brother wants to take this number one disciple as his disciple?"
Liang Wuji coughed once, and picked up the teacup by his side, drinking and drinking, as though he suddenly realised that the tea in the cup had become extremely delicious; Lu Cheng looked left and right, as though he was looking for something, and his gaze did not fall on Luo Xiu who was right in front of him. Hong De then closed his eyes and pretended to be deep in thought.
Only Xue Fengying remained calm and watched the situation unfold expressionlessly.
In a short moment, the situation on Hall had become somewhat awkward. Luo Xiu, who should have been praised by the people, was not only ignored, he was even kicked around like a rubber ball. It became a huge joke!
The majority of the inner sect disciples were unlucky enough to get first place in the examination, after entering the inner sect, they were treated unfairly, the jealousy and depression they had towards the outer sect's number one seemed to leak out immediately, the gazes they used to look at Luo Xiu with were filled with ridicule, some even had cold smiles hanging on their face.
Luo Xiu acted as if he had just eaten dung, and was unable to say what the suffering was, and could only sigh from the bottom of his heart.
