Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts Chapter 990

Chapter 990: 990

“What?!”

People immediately began to raise issues with what Mu Qingxuan said . It sounded like she was saying Yue Zifeng could enter the Xuantian Dao Sect without going through the trials . Many people were dissatisfied with that .

Mu Qingxuan smiled slightly and said, “Because there is a rule within the Xuantian Dao Sect: disciples with special skills can get special treatment . ”

“Why does he meet that standard but not us? How is he special? I don’t see anything special about him, and if you don’t tell us, it’ll be equivalent to him cheating!” raged a disciple .

That disciple had just registered . He was a rank four Celestial with a dark gold Spirit Root . His other aspects were also excellent, and most importantly, he was only eighteen years old . He could truly be described as a genius with limitless prospects . Back then, he had shocked quite a few people .

However, even he didn’t meet the standard . With his talent and his illustrious status, his words were a bit overbearing .

The ground suddenly erupted and a huge vine bound him in a flash, rendering him without the slightest ability to resist .

“I don’t care what status you had in the branch sect . The Central Plains is not the same place, and you’ll have to follow our rules . If you have any objections toward the trial procedure, you can politely ask and we will explain it clearly for you . If you still object, you can go to the Elder’s Hall for arbitration .

“But before doing that, the first precondition is that you are a disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect . And right now, you’re not . Your conduct has disturbed the proper flow of the trial . Your words are excessive, and you’ve insulted the Xuantian Dao Sect’s sacred rules . With my authority as the one in charge of the trial, I strip you of your qualifications to participate in the trial . You will be taken into temporary custody, and once the trial is over, you will be sent out of the Xuantian Dao Sect,” said Mu Qingxuan coldly .

“Wait, no! You can’t do this!” shouted that disciple . He hadn’t expected that just questioning her would result in such a heavy punishment .

“I can do this because your words insulted the Xuantian Dao Sect’s rules . That is a lack of trust in the sect, and since you have no trust, you can go and find something else to trust in the Central Plains,” said Mu Qingxuan .

After saying that, she ignored him and said to the other disciples, “Rules are rules . They can’t be changed, so don’t regret your decisions . The Xuantian Dao Sect’s inheritance stretches back hundreds of thousands of years . There are countless heavenly geniuses within it, and they all have to follow the rules . Don’t think that you are above the rules . If you really were strong enough, you’d have long since ascended and never come here . Since you aren’t strong enough, then be better-behaved . To give you all a good start, I’ve given you more face than what the last generation has given me . But if others want to take advantage of my kindness, I won’t be so kind to them .

“Continuing where I left off, Yue Zifeng meets the standards to be a special elite disciple . Let me just reiterate that this special elite disciple refers to someone who has reached a pinnacle in one aspect . That’s why we ask you about your interests and personal strengths during this registration . If you meet the standards, you can also become a special elite disciple .

“The people here registering you are all disciples from the previous generation . They are your senior apprentice-brothers and senior apprentice-sisters . They take their work seriously, and before accepting this mission, they swore to carry out their duty with fairness . If they went against that oath, their cultivation base would never advance an inch ever again . So that person’s suspicion was an insult to the Dao Sect and us .

“Once you join the Dao Sect, you’ll understand how insignificant you currently are . So I’d advise you to cast aside your arrogance and maintain a humble, grateful heart . That will be much better for you . Let the registration continue . ”

Mu Qingxuan’s long chiding caused everyone’s hearts to shake . With how amicable she had been, quite a few people had forgotten Yan Mochen’s lesson .

Now another person had fallen into that trap . His dejected appearance was another alarm bell to them . They had to act properly, or they would also suffer miserably .

If that disciple’s tone had been a bit better, he wouldn’t have landed in such a miserable strait . But this couldn’t be blamed on Mu Qingxuan . Some people just refused to give face without a harsh lesson .

“Senior apprentice-sister Qingxuan, I’m very special too! Yes, I’m very, very special . Have a look for yourself!” cried Guo Ran .

Everyone was startled . Did he not want his life? Or was he trying to get kicked out? His predecessor was still right there .

“I’ve already looked over your registration . Your specialty is forging . But it is a broad category and forging is not a rare profession . So no matter how high your forging arts are, you won’t be able to become a special elite disciple . But if you pass the trial, you can join the Forging Hall and you’ll get the grooming you need there,” said Mu Qingxuan .

Hearing that Mu Qingxuan was so clear on Guo Ran’s qualifications, everyone was moved . It seemed she had been telling the truth . To be fair, each person’s qualifications went through strict, impartial tests . That was why they had no sympathy for the fellow who had cried out previously .

If the roles were reversed and they were in Mu Qingxuan’s position, they also wouldn’t be kind to a person like that .

Guo Ran was disappointed . He was the proudest of his forging arts, but the Xuantian Dao Sect refused to acknowledge them, treating it as a common skill .

Yue Zifeng returned to their group with a special jade plate on his waist . It had a carving of a sword on it, and it was unknown how it was supposed to be used .

“Don’t get jealous . It’s not like you can beat him and take it,” laughed Gu Yang upon seeing Guo Ran’s expression .

Long Chen also laughed, “Sword cultivators are exceptionally rare, so this kind of treatment is normal . Don’t worry, the Xuantian Dao Sect is different from the branch sect and has plenty of resources for your forging arts . With your talent and perseverance, you’ll definitely light up the forging world . ”

“Boss, you really are the best! It’s been so long since you’ve praised me like this . ” Guo Ran emotionally stared at Long Chen .

“Don’t look at me with such a gaze . I have an urge to slap you to death,” raged Long Chen .

Gu Yang and the others laughed . Guo Ran was the Dragonblood Legion’s clown, and when they had nothing to do, he would always cause some laughter . But the person being used by him to make the others laugh wouldn’t find it funny .

All the disciples not from the four regions became much more reserved, no longer acting as arrogantly as before . They treated these senior disciples respectfully .

“Tang Wan-er: rank four Celestial, dark gold Spirit Root, mid Earth tier Spirit Blood, high Earth tier wind energy . What a pity,” Mu Qingxuan muttered to herself .

“Senior sister Qingxuan, what is a pity?” asked Tang Wan-er .

“Your wind energy is incomparably pure . If only… Ah, there’s no need to say so much . Little sister, for you to have such accomplishments in a place as destitute as the Eastern Wasteland is amazing . You must have worked hard . Your big sister is cheering for you . You’ll definitely be one of our new generation’s top geniuses,” encouraged Mu Qingxuan .

“Thank you, senior sister,” said Tang Wan-er cutely .

When Tang Wan-er returned to their side, Long Chen couldn’t help but look at her oddly . She irritably demanded, “What are you looking at me like that for?”

“I’m just curious . Wan-er, why are you so kind to outsiders, but so fierce toward me?” asked Long Chen .

“Because you’re a typical brat who will start causing trouble if I don’t continue beating you . If I treat you too gently, you’ll start overturning the heavens,” said Tang Wan-er strictly .

“ . . . ”

The registration continued . There was a huge number of people to go through, but this allowed Long Chen and the others to get a preview of their power .

It was no wonder others looked down on them . Other than the Dragonblood Legion, the Eastern Wasteland’s disciples were all rank two Celestials, or even just rank one .

But in the other three regions, around eighty percent of them were rank three Celestials . Another fifteen percent were rank two Celestials, and the remaining ones were rank four and above .

Not even a single rank one Celestial appeared from them . That caused a wave of shame to wash over the Eastern Wasteland’s rank one Celestials . But they were powerless to do anything .

Even the Dragonblood Legion, which had been at the peak of power in the Eastern Wasteland, was submerged by the countless rank three Celestials . Even rank four Celestials like Gu Yang and Li Qi didn’t draw much attention .

That made Long Chen sigh . The days of being the overlord of the Eastern Wasteland were over, but this also made things more interesting .

Eventually, it was Meng Qi’s turn . When she appeared, everyone turned silent . They were all infected by her transcendental immortal charm . Wherever she went, it was like the world became a wonderland .

This was Meng Qi’s special aura . It was like everything around her became transcendental just by being around her .

“Meng Qi: dark gold Spirit Root, mid Earth tier Spirit Blood, low Heaven tier soul energy . What terrifying soul energy!” Seeing that, Mu Qingxuan was shocked . Just like Yue Zifeng, she gave her a special jade plate, but this one had the Soul character carved into it . “Congratulations junior sister, your soul energy has reached a level that sparks disbelief . It’s also incomparably condensed . That means your control over your soul energy has also reached a pinnacle . You can become a special elite disciple as well . ”

“Thank you, senior apprentice-sister Qingxuan . ” Meng Qi received that jade plate and respectfully bowed to Mu Qingxuan before returning to Long Chen’s side .

This caused quite a disturbance amongst the others . A third of the people had been registered, but only two special elite disciple positions had been given . And those two spots were all from the Eastern Wasteland .

“Next, the Western Desert’s Yan Mochen . ”

Hearing this, Yan Mochen snorted coldly and walked up . When he passed by the Eastern Wasteland’s people, he extended his thumb and dipped it down, infuriating Guo Ran and the others .
