BXBX NOVEL Chapter 121 - Jiang Yun's Words
Hu Xing wasn\'t an experienced guy.
In his mind, he weighed all the offers, thought of benefits and hard work.
In the end, only Yuan Shuchun and Jun Xie\'s offer seemed enticing. However, Yuan Shuchun\'s words about joining the league from the very bottom and working his way up boiled his blood, and he wanted to accept her offer as a challenge to her and become a core disciple of her league after some time, thus proving his worth.
Hu Xing had made up his mind.
He knew which league he had to join.
And thus, he looked up and declared his decision.
"I will become the Seat Candidate for the Nine Supremes!"
His words echoed throughout the hall like a wave of silence swept through the area.
Yuan Shuchun\'s words may have gotten him excited and puffed up, but he didn\'t let himself get carried away and chose to be a part of the Nine Supremes.
After all, the opportunity to get guidance from the Peak Masters and Sect Leader was just too valuable for him to miss.
In front of him, Jun Xie frowned at the slight killing intent leaked out from Jiang Yun\'s side.
He knew that Jiang Yun would most likely target Hu Xing because he was the next seat candidate.
But in his mind, Jun Xie himself wasn\'t satisfied with the outcome of his visit.
The reason why he chose Hu Xing was because of the slight argument that he saw between Ye Tian Yun and Hu Xing in the illusion which made him conclude that there was a bit of bad blood between these two, decided to indirectly make things received difficult for Ye Tian Yun by choosing Hu Xing instead of Zheng Xiang because Ye Tian Yun had rejected his invitation.
By inviting Hu Xing, Jun Xie wanted to add Ye Tian Yun\'s worries by giving his enemy a chance to grow stronger.
If only he knew that Ye Tian Yun didn\'t even care about Hu Xing\'s existence. All the teasing and picking up he did was to maintain the \'arrogant and conceited\' image of Fang Chen in front of everyone, especially Hu Xing.
Because Hu Xing was humiliated a lot by Fang Chen, he was also one of the very few people who were in contact with Fang Chen the most and could definitely tell in an instant if Ye Tian Yun didn\'t properly act like Fang Chen.
…
On the platform.
Jun Xie took a deep breath and gave a slight nod. Truthfully he didn\'t care about the Killing intent at Hu Xing from Jiang Yun because he knew who the disciple was who had broken through the Manifestation Realm of the Sword Intent.
However, this wasn\'t the case with Jiang Yun. In his opinion, Hu Xing was the disciple who had cultivated and broken through the Sword Intent realm and was going to be the Seat Candidate for the Nine Supremes.
To the general disciples, Nine Supremes were the most neutral league in the whole sect. However, Jiang Yun knew that in every loss he had suffered, through the hidden undercurrents of the sect politics scene, there had always been a sign of Nine Supremes controlling everything behind the scene.
And now that there was going to be an insanely talented sword disciple in that league, he would cut this bud before it bloomed.
When the time comes, he didn\'t wish to see any complications in his plans.
Disciples like him and Yuan Shuchun, who stood at the peak of the disciples, wouldn\'t want to see a rise of another Core disciple who could, one day, potentially overcome them and become hindrances in their plans.
And if that disciple was from a rival league, it could only make matters worse. Thus, Jiang Yun got agitated when Hu Xing chose Jun Xie\'s offer, making him unknowingly release a tinge of his killing intent.
…
Now that the most talented disciple among all of the new Inner Court disciples had joined different leagues, Jiang Yun was not planning to take another loss and wanted the rest of the top disciples to be in his World League. Especially the disciples who were ranked first in the Inner Court Entrance Hunt of their Peaks.
Thus, without hesitation, Jiang Yun stepped forward, and overlooking the disciples, he said, "Hello, juniors of my Gracious Sword Sect. I will assume that most of you know who I am by now. However, to those unfamiliar with the state of the sect, I am Jiang Yun, Head of the World League."
"Today, I stand before you to give you an invitation to take part in the World League Recruitment Test and become a member of our renowned World League."
"The Sect had hundreds of leagues; however, now all of them can give you benefits like the World League. Maybe other top leagues can, but do you think it\'s easy to join such leagues?"
"When I was a new Inner Court disciple, I also had trouble becoming part of leagues. If the league was too high, like the then World League, I didn\'t have enough cultivation. If the league was low, it wouldn\'t be beneficial to me. Thus it caused me a lot of struggle to find a place of my own in this huge sect."
"However, I was lucky. I got to be a member of the World League. And step by step, I rose in the rankings, finally becoming the League Head."
"To become the League head of the best League in the whole Sect. Of course, I was proud of myself."
"But do you know what first thing I did when I became the League Head?"
"I changed the rules. Lowered the criteria. Made it easy for new disciples to join us."
"Even though I had the support of few Core members, many objected, saying that this would decrease the power and quality of members in our League."
