830: Chapter 239-2 830: Chapter 239-2 Indeed, many people were more optimistic about Liao Youdi than about Yi Sheng!
Yi Sheng had already achieved the state of Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills.
And it took him only one year.
Of course, they were aware that Yi Sheng’s rapid breakthrough was undoubtedly aided by the Sect Leader; they didn’t have the Sect Leader’s abilities, but if they could take Liao Youdi under their wing, they had confidence that within a few years, Liao Youdi would grow tremendously.
Considering Liao Youdi’s temperament and talent, many Peak Masters privately believed that for Liao Youdi, achieving the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection wouldn’t be an issue.
Last year’s Yi Sheng, also a High Level Immortal Body, didn’t have everyone convinced that he would definitely reach Perfect Completion Golden Core.
Because, at that time, Yi Sheng was truly too arrogant, too confident, to the point where ‘confident’ wasn’t enough to describe him—it should be ‘conceited’!
But Liao Youdi was different, they had never seen such a resilient child in all these years.
If they could take such a Disciple under their guidance, it would surely bring glory to their Peak!
Besides, aside from Liao Youdi, there were many other geniuses this time.
The only issue was that Liao Youdi had been at the Academy for less than a year, and they feared the Academy’s headmaster might not let her leave.
Nie Jie, watching the crowd speaking one after another, wanted to delay the selection of genius Disciples, but ultimately, he gave up.
He couldn’t refuse everyone on his own.
“If that’s the case, then two days from now, each Peak can head to the various Academies to select Disciples.”
The assembly dispersed quickly, but the Peak Masters of the various Peaks didn’t truly wait two days before heading to the Academies.
What a joke—if they waited two more days, the opportunity would be cold; they were going now.
Heavenly Swan Academy, the Heavenly Swan Academy was among the top-ranked Academies of Hundred Peaks Sect.
In the past, when the Hundred Peaks Sect Peaks selected Disciples, some Peak Masters would privately ask him to say a few good words about their Peak to convince certain geniuses to join them.
But he had never encountered a situation like this, where crowds of people came to their Heavenly Swan Academy.
The headmaster of Heavenly Swan Academy, upon recognizing the guests, was stunned.
“Blue Peak Master, Huang Feng Peak Master, Ma Peak Master…
my esteemed Peak Masters, what brings you to our Heavenly Swan Academy?”
He knew that it was nearly time for the Peaks to select Disciples, and it was normal for some Peak Masters to make friendly overtures.
But the problem was, this time, too many had come.
At a glance, there were over fifty Sub-Peak Masters standing before him, and he was simply dumbfounded.
What was going on?
“What brings all you Peak Masters here…?”
Among the crowd, one Peak Master spoke with a smile, “Headmaster, we’re about to select Disciples for our Peaks, so we thought to come and inquire about any talented Disciples in the Academy.”
At this, other Peak Masters joined in immediately.
“Right, headmaster.
Your Heavenly Swan Academy has always been top-notch in our Hundred Peaks Sect.”
“Headmaster, I remember, our Academy took in a new Disciple this year, named Liao Youdi.
With her qualifications, she should be selected through the examination this year, right?”
“I know about Liao Youdi.
If her talent can’t pass the examination, then who can?”
The headmaster, hearing the words of the crowd, immediately realized who they were here for.
But the problem was…
“Esteemed ones, Liao Youdi certainly possesses remarkable talent, and she learns extremely quickly no matter what it is; however, she’s just been with our Academy for less than a year.
She hasn’t learned many things yet, and I didn’t allow her to participate in the examination this year.”
No sooner had the headmaster finished his statement than the surrounding Peak Masters became anxious!
“Now, see here, headmaster, this isn’t right.
Why prevent her from taking the examination?”
“Yes, Liao Youdi isn’t that young.
You might think a year isn’t much, but at her age, a year’s delay can have a big impact!”
“Headmaster, it doesn’t matter if she hasn’t been taught everything yet, we can teach her.
Such a genius should be allowed to take the examination early and join our Peaks!”
“Exactly!
Headmaster, you have to let her go!”
As soon as they heard the headmaster say that Liao Youdi wouldn’t participate in the examination this year, they all became frantic, joking aside.
Why were they in such a rush to select Disciples now if not to take advantage of the Sect Leader’s absence and coax Liao Youdi?
With the Sect Leader not around, Hundred Peaks Sect had only three Disciples.
Among them, Xiang Ziyu, the eldest, was always occupied with cultivating various Divine Skills and certainly had no time.
The remaining two, Bei Yan and Yi Sheng, were both quite young; they couldn’t possibly be outcompeted by others!
But the problem was, if they waited until next year, after the Sect Leader and his entourage returned, how could they compete then?
So, they must make Liao Youdi participate in the examination this year, be released this year for the Peaks to select her!
Even some hot-tempered and impatient Peak Masters directly raised their voices in protest.
“What kind of genius is she to be wasted in the Academy?
What can your Academy possibly teach her?
Better to release her quickly!”
The headmaster of Heavenly Swan Academy, upon hearing this, immediately showed a displeased expression.
What did they mean by that?
Did they look down on their Heavenly Swan Academy?
I would like to see who’s so bold, and just wait—when your Peaks are recruiting Disciples, I will…
ah…
the Head of Sacred Fire Peak, uh, never mind.
