1683 Long Tao is Suited to be Your Disciple!
A year later, Li Nao might not end up as one of the last ten rankings.
He only ended up with such a low rank this time because he had failed to make a final sprint but also ended up being targeted by other members.
Li Nao was filled with gratitude toward Lin Yuan, but the latter was not on the same page as him.
He had been watching the test from the sand castle for two whole days.
There were at least 50 contestants who were worthy of being part of the final ten.
Lin Yuan did not want to interfere too much with this so the 50 of them could fight freely.
After all, there were a limited number of spots, and the 50 comparable contestants needed to battle it out to determine who was actually stronger in terms of resilience, faith, character, and communicative ability.
Eventually, it would all boil down to power.
There was no question that Li Nao was stronger than all of the other contestants in all these facets.
He especially towered over them in terms of his leadership skills.
Moreover, at least four members of the previous Radiance Hundred Sequence had started conserving power and gathering in the central territory from the moment the third day rolled around.
Evidently, the four of them intended to team up.
This was a very logical outcome.
However, Li Nao’s preference to be led by his heart was also not wrong.
Lin Yuan felt that Li Nao did deserve to be a Radiance Hundred Sequence member. Thus, he stepped in to save Li Nao.
Lin Yuan’s action caused Iron Prison to furrow his brow.
“Moon Empress, your disciple is blatantly giving Li Nao a leg up. This isn’t fair to the other contestants.”
Cicada Song could not hold back from slapping his forehead when he heard this.
Iron Prison had been willing to sacrifice his bloodline for the Moon Empress. So why was he also intentionally saying something that would upset her now?
Tian Feng stowed away the peanuts he had been playing with and said, “Iron Prison, anyone can tell that besides the Moon Empress and Cicada Song’s disciples, Li Nao is the most outstanding. His feys also have the most potential.
“There isn’t much fairness to speak of in this test. Is it fair to the other contestants that the four previous Radiance Hundred Sequence members are colluding? There isn’t any external element in this test. Everything depends on the contestants’ individual powers.
“I don’t see anything wrong with Black using his power to help Li Nao. Rather, I think that Black’s action shows that he’s an even better leader than Li Nao. Black is helping the Radiance Federation to pick out true talents.
“Iron Prison, I think that you should accept a disciple. With a disciple, your mindset and thought processes will change. Your feys are all dragon-species feys.
“Coiling Dragon Valley’s previous head of the family has gained Immortal power. Coiling Dragon’s Valley will be taking over Whale Ocean Commerce’s position as one of the top three factions.
“Long Tao is suited to be your disciple. While researching Coiling Dragon’s Valley, I also looked into Long Tao. Both of you are eccentric. He will definitely grow into a strange personality as well.”
Iron Prison’s face darkened when he heard what Tian Feng said.
You’re the eccentric one. You’re the strange person!
However, Tian Feng’s words did strike a chord with Iron Prison.
Recently, he had been butting heads with the Moon Empress, Night Leaning Moon, Chef Supreme, and the rest during imperial meetings more often. Even Cicada Song’s opinions had differed from his more often than not.
Could it be because they had accepted disciples?
Iron Prison cast a look at the silver pillars, and his gaze landed on Long Tao.
Iron Prison turned away and started to mull deeply. His eyes darkened, and his thoughts were indiscernible.
Star Web was also a cacophony of activity over Black’s action.
As opposed to Iron Prison’s comment about unfairness, the people on Star Web were full of praise.
Missing the Past: I cried when Li Nao was about to be pierced by the Horn Demon! But why did he sink into the quicksand? Is Black going to eliminate Li Nao?
Mountain Thoughts: Hey! What are you thinking? If Black wanted to eliminate Li Nao, he could have just used the sand. Besides those that can fly, everything else would have sunk underground. Moreover, the sand castle can fly. This means that Black’s sand-elemental source-type lifeform can levitate. Clearly, Black wants to keep Li Nao around!
Taichi Gu Zheng: My son saved my new husband! How touching! Is Li Nao in the sand castle now?
Rest of Life: Black performed wonderfully! I used to just be a casual fan of his. But now, I’ll be a fan for life!
Gangster Rabbit 88: Besides Black and Gao Feng, no one is more suited than Li Nao to be a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence! I admit that I didn’t think much of Li Nao at the beginning. But after seeing the way he contributed to the team, I can’t ignore him.
Most of the people watching the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection were drawn to heroics.
After watching the test for three days, they all felt a sense of attachment to the contestants akin to how they would feel about the characters of a television show.
None of them wanted to see the characters die.
As opposed to the energy on Star Web, a fierce battle was ongoing at the central territory of the testing ground.
Gao Feng was no longer helping to heal anyone.
The two Spirit Spring Lilies were continuously replenishing Gao Feng’s spiritual power while the Breeze Hibiscus protected him by creating a gust of wind around him.
The Breeze Hibiscus was Diamond X/Fantasy V. The wind did not have any combat effects, but any elemental attacks that drew near or people who tried to attack him would end up blown away.
The alien beast tide had cornered the central territory to a size of only 300 square meters.
Only 100 were still left viciously fighting.
Numerous contestants had been blown almost 500 meters away into the alien beast tide and ended up devoured after they tried to attack Gao Feng.
Gao Feng picked up the two Spirit Spring Lilies and Breeze Hibiscus before walking toward the center.
The people who saw him all understood that they needed to back away.
The four members of the previous Radiance Hundred Sequence watched as Gao Feng stood at the exact center.
The four of them decided to protect each side of him and secure the most advantageous position.
