Zhou Xueyuan seemed to have anticipated the objections from the crowd and waved his hand, "Master Ye's ability is obvious to all. Why not hire him as our tutor?"
At this point, he asked again: "Are you accustomed to judging people by their appearance? Or are you accustomed to relying on your elders and showing off your talents?"
After a few words, all the elders and mentors were finally silenced.
Zhou Xueyuan had said his word first. If they had any objections, they would be guilty of two crimes: "judging people by their appearance" and "relying on their elders and betraying their elders".
However, others had no objection, but an angry voice came from behind the crowd, "Wait a minute, I have something to say!"
"Huh? Isn't this Ximen Xiao?"
"Why did he jump out?"
"And you're still wearing gauze?"
Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw the person speaking clearly.
The person who spoke was indeed Ximen Xiao, a disciple of the Qingwu Hall who was known as the number one person in the outer sect of the Piaomiao Sect.
But at this moment, his body was wrapped in gauze, as if he had been seriously injured.
"It's him again?"
Nangong Liuli's face suddenly darkened.
Ximen Xiao targeted Ye Chen not just once or twice.
At this critical moment, Ximen Xiao stood up again and definitely wanted to target Ye Chen again.
really……
"It's okay to hire him as our Piaomiao Sect's outer sect mentor, but our Piaomiao Sect respects martial arts. Unless he can be recognized by everyone in terms of martial arts, why should he be the Piaomiao Sect's outer sect mentor?"
"Ximen Xiao, what do you mean by that?" Before Ye Chen could answer, Zhou Xueyuan looked over coldly.
But Ximen Xiao seemed to have been prepared for it, and argued with reason: "Although the senior is responsible for teaching alchemy, if the disciple remembers correctly, you were able to become the instructor of the alchemy hall, and you were also recognized by everyone in terms of cultivation.
Right?"
After some words, Zhou Xueyuan was finally speechless.
Ximen Xiao was right. Although he was good at refining medicine, his cultivation was not weak either.
The purpose of their Piaomiao Sect is to focus on martial arts, and other professions are only auxiliary.
Therefore, no matter how good Ye Chen's alchemy skills are, as long as his cultivation level does not meet the requirements, he will still not be able to become a master of the Piaomiao Sect.
"So, as long as I am recognized as a warrior, you will have nothing to say, right?" Ye Chen said with interest.
"That's right!" Ximen smiled and nodded, "As long as you can defeat me, I have nothing to say!"
After a pause, he changed the subject, "Of course, if you can't defeat me, an outer disciple of the Piaomiao Sect, what qualifications do you have to become a mentor?"
Those words instantly pushed Ye Chen to the forefront again.
"Hey, there's something good to watch now!"
"When he tested just now, it was not a problem with the test beads, but a problem with himself!"
"His cultivation talent is actually at level zero. It seems he has no cultivation at all!"
"The cultivation talent is level zero, which means that it is completely impossible to practice. Where does the cultivation come from?"
"A person like this who has no cultivation, let alone a duel with Ximen Xiao, the number one person in the outer sect of our Piaomiao Sect, any disciple, no matter how weak, can easily crush him!"
"What makes me laugh the most is that if he swallows his anger, maybe Teacher Zhou can make an exception and let him enter the medicine refining hall. But at this time, he just jumps out and shows off. Isn't this self-humiliating?"
"Take your own shortcomings, attack the enemy's strong points, and see how he ends up later!"
Everyone sneered again and again, looking at Ye Chen with eyes full of teasing.
However, what surprised everyone even more was that instead of flinching, Ye Chen nodded, "Okay, I accept your challenge!"
What?
Accept Ximen Xiao’s challenge?
You, a loser with no talent for cultivation, where did you get the courage and confidence to dare to accept the challenge of the number one person in the Piaomiao Sect's outer sect?
For a moment, everyone couldn't believe their ears.
Zhou Xueyuan also smiled bitterly and shook his head, "After all, you are still too young. You are full of blood and like to be competitive!"
Only Nangong Liuli, instead of feeling that Ye Chen was asking for trouble like the others, looked at Ximen Xiao with eyes filled with pity.
Although she didn't know what went wrong with Ye Chen's test just now, she was certain of one thing!
Ye Chen's current strength has long surpassed Ximen Xiao!
When he was in Hongyan City, Ye Chen could easily suppress Ximen Xiao before taking the Taizong Pill.
Later, after taking the Taizong Pill, my cultivation level reached the sect level in one fell swoop!
Now Ximen Xiao jumps out to challenge Ye Chen. Isn't this self-humiliating?
However, Ximen Xiao, who didn't know the inside story, felt as if his treacherous plot had succeeded when he heard Ye Chen accept the challenge, and said urgently: "Ye Chen, this is what you said, you accepted the challenge, right?"
"Yes!" Ye Chen nodded.
"Elders, mentors, and fellow disciples present, you should have heard what Ye Chen said. I hope you all can bear witness!"
Afraid that Ye Chen would regret it, he hurriedly repeated it loudly, and then respectfully said to the elders on the high platform: "Since Ye Chen agreed to the challenge, please accept the challenge!"
A group of elders looked at each other, and one of them stood up and said: "Since both parties agree, let's decide through discussion!"
After a pause, the elder added: "But I have something to say first. After this discussion, no matter what the outcome is, no one will be allowed to make irresponsible remarks!"
When he said this, the elder deliberately glanced at Zhou Xueyuan, and the meaning in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.
All this happened because Zhou Xueyuan supported Ye Chen.
Since Ye Chen agreed to solve it in this way, Zhou Xueyuan should have nothing to say.
"Ye Chen, please!"
After receiving the consent of the elders, Ximen Xiao immediately made a "please" gesture to Ye Chen.
Before Ye Chen could answer, he couldn't wait to get on the stage in front of him, his eyes full of high fighting spirit.
Without any explanation, he stretched out his hand and touched it on the space bracelet, and there was a faint light "buzzing", and a Yanyue knife with a domineering appearance and a halo lingering on the surface appeared out of thin air in Ximen Xiao's hand.
"Oh my god, it's actually a rare weapon?"
"Isn't the one he used before just mid-grade?"
"Even many mentors and elders would probably be jealous of a weapon of this quality!"
"I know, it must be the one sold by the rare stone shop on Changfeng Street in Hongyan City yesterday!"
"I also heard that yesterday the rare stone shop on Changfeng Street publicly sold a rare weapon. I thought it was a fake, but I didn't expect it to fall into Ximen Xiao's hands!"
"If I had known it was true, I should have competed!"
"I heard that the final decision was made with 1.8 million gold coins. It seems that Ximen Xiao also paid an extremely high price for this rare grade Yanyue Sword!"
Seeing clearly the weapon Ximen Xiao took out, everyone was shocked and envious.
Lu Kai and the others, who had always followed Ximen's smile, had their faces full of fanatical expectations.
"Having been feeling aggrieved for so long, does Senior Brother Ximen finally have a chance to regain his position?"
"Although Ye Chen's strength is not weak, senior brother Ximen now has an unparalleled magic weapon in his hands!"
"With this rare-grade Yanyue Sword, Senior Brother Ximen's combat power can be at least doubled!"
"Based on yesterday's fight, Ye Chen's combat power is at most slightly stronger than that of Senior Brother Ximen. Now that Senior Brother Ximen has the rare-grade Yanyue Sword in his hand, he is absolutely capable of overpowering that boy Ye Chen!"
