C140 High Expectations
Seeing the doubt on the disciples' faces, Duan Rong smiled and said, "This year, I have an Elite Armament in my hand. Next, I'll introduce you to my new disciple, Nie Zhen."
Finishing his words, Duan Rong instructed the servant boy beside him, "Go and summon you, Senior Brother Nie."
"Yes sir!" The boy accepted the order and left.
"Nie Zhen, is that the legendary new disciple that Master accepted? I never thought that he would actually be my last disciple. " Some of the core disciples were amazed.
The meaning behind being a last disciple was much greater than what was written. Other than expressing that he would not take any more disciples in the future, the last disciple had also expressed a certain attitude that no matter who it was, they would not have the talent to become a new disciple. They could no longer arouse the interest of the person they wanted to take in disciples.
"Is this new junior brother so amazing?" is actually able to make Master confident in his ability to enter the top ten? " Another person asked with doubt in his heart.
"Legend has it that this Junior Brother Nie is a genius of the Pill Dao. He was able to refine an Earth Core Earth Building Pill of the highest quality, and his cultivation is also extremely amazing." Another core disciple whispered.
The core disciples were very diligent in their training and were not interested in gossip from the outside world. Therefore, they knew that Nie Zhen did not do much, but just the part that they knew was enough to move people.
Even First Senior Sister and Soong Dong'er were curious about this new junior brother of hers.
The boy walked out of the hall and said loudly to the crowd, "Please enter the hall and greet Master."
Nie Zhen faintly smiled, slowly walked forward, and leisurely followed the child into the Yuqing Hall, while behind him were eyes that were filled with shock.
"Who is this Nie Zhen?" Isn't he a senior disciple? Why would I have to meet Master alone? "
"Nie Zhen... This name sounds a little familiar … "
"Are you a new disciple?" "I don't think I've heard of it before..."
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk …" At this time, a disciple among the crowd said to them with a face as if he was looking at a useless nephew, "I say, you guys are really too ignorant! Senior Brother Nie is such a famous person, yet you all have never heard of him before?! "
"Senior brother Tao, do you know anything about this newcomer?" Someone immediately asked.
"What new guy!" From now on, you have to be careful when you speak to Senior Brother Nie! Otherwise, I'm afraid that you will find yourself in a very difficult situation in the future! " Senior brother Tao said with a serious expression.
"Is he that amazing? Who is he? Tell me!" Someone said anxiously.
"I'll tell you then, this Senior Brother Nie is extraordinary. Back then when I set up Subordinate Country and this Senior Brother Nie was the champion, our Master took the lead and personally went to Subordinate Country to invite this Senior Brother Nie to join our faction!"
"Master personally went to invite him? This is too exaggerated! " Everyone was shocked. The grand master had personally invited him to join them? Even in their dreams, they wouldn't dare to dream about such a dream-like thing.
"All of you … "This news is like news on a horse, and you guys actually didn't know about it …" Senior brother Tao had an expression of disappointment.
"We are busy with cultivation everyday, how would we have the time to listen to these gossips..."
"Please, aren't I busy with cultivation too? Don't I know everything? "
"Then... "Does this Senior Brother Nie have any other achievements?" Most of the people had already been piqued by this senior brother Tao's interest as they hurriedly asked.
"Do you all know about the last grand ceremony of the Pill Dao? I was there for the Alchemy Ceremony, and this Senior Brother Nie, not only is his talent in martial arts outstanding, but his Pill Tao Talent is also peerless in history. He beat up our sect's genius in alchemy Yun Ling and Gu Faang in all kinds of ways, and even crushed the genius Liu Tie of the Origin Sect ten thousand times over on the ground! He had successfully refined a top-grade Earth Core Earth Building Pill! Don't blame me for not reminding you, you should hurry up and kiss Senior Brother Nie's ass. Otherwise, you won't make it in time if you ask him for some kind of pill in the future! It was said that... This Senior Brother Nie's Pill Tao Talent, can already surpass Elder Tianhuo! "
"It can't be! This was too heaven-defying! "How old is he?!" Everyone was shocked. Nie Zhen was only a teenager, he was probably the youngest person present. Even if he was training inside his mother's womb, he shouldn't be so fast and violent!
"Your alchemy cultivation is even more terrifying than Elder Tianhuo …" "If our relationship is good, then we won't have to worry about having more pills in the future!"
Senior brother Tao acted as if he had been praised, and said with a pleased expression, "Now you know his status and position right? There was even some noise just now saying that he was a newcomer? A talent like Senior Brother Nie, we can't even compare to him! Look at me, as a senior disciple, I can already enter the Yuqing Hall, this is called level! "
Nie Zhen did not care about the people outside and followed the boy into the Yuqing Hall. When he saw Duan Rong and the others, he first greeted his master: "Nie Zhen greets Master." After that, he cupped his hands towards the crowd and said, "Nie Zhen pays his respect to all of you, Senior Brothers and Sisters."
When Soong Dong'er saw Nie Zhen, she exclaimed, "So it's you!" You are Master's new disciple? "
This time, it was Duan Rong's turn to be surprised. He looked at Soong Dong'er and asked, "What's wrong, Dong'er? You've met Junior Brother Nie before? "0
Soong Dong'er replied honestly, "That's right. Back then in Treasure Snatching Competition, Junior Brother Nie also participated and defeated Great Sect Master's seventh junior brother."
Nie Zhen smiled at Soong Dong'er and said, "I am ashamed and ashamed. I did not know that Senior Sister Soong was my master, so I did not greet her in time. Senior Sister, please forgive me."
Soong Dong'er waved her hand and said, "That's nothing. Besides, you really don't know that I'm your classmate, and because of you, it's not as if Great Sect Master's family is the strongest. You still have merits, don't you?"
"First Senior Sister, what's going on?" Immediately, Soong Dong'er explained the situation regarding Treasure Snatching Competition to everyone and everyone realized what was going on. At that moment, everyone was filled with admiration towards Nie Zhen's strength, after all, Great Sect Master's seventh junior brother was not that easy to deal with, and some of the people present were not even as good as him.
Soong Dong'er and Duan Rong were of the same temperament, and both of them were very happy to see their bloodline rise to prominence. Since their new junior brother had such a great face, she was naturally happy.
Duan Rong was delighted to hear Nie Zhen bring honor to his family. He smiled at Soong Dong'er and said, "Dong'er, since you already know your juniors, why don't you introduce your fellow brothers to him."
Soong Dong'er smiled as she introduced Nie Zhen, "Junior Brother, this is your Second Martial Brother Yin Nian, Third Martial Brother Jian Yong, and Fourth Senior Martial Brother …"
Following Soong Dong'er's introduction, Nie Zhen bowed to all of his senior brothers. The others also returned the greeting.
Duan Rong was happy to see a sense of harmony under the sect, so he said to them, "Okay, you two know each other, if there's no accident, then the future successor will be chosen from the fifteen of you. Duan Rong was happy to see a sense of harmony under the sect, and he said to them," Okay, you two know each other, if there's no accident, the future successor will be chosen from the fifteen of you.
In other words, Duan Rong's words were that he knew his disciples well. He would never be jealous because of his fellow sect members' limelight.
Duan Rong's way of nurturing the next generation was tight on the outside but wide on the inside. Normally, he would never restrict you, but you were not allowed to touch on a few principles. As long as you kept your bottom line, you would be in trouble outside.
At this point, Duan Rong did not forget to build up momentum for Nie Zhen. He looked at the disciples present and said, "Perhaps in your hearts, you guys will wonder why I took so much care of Junior Nie Zhen, and even wanted to promote him. If the example of defeating the seventh disciple of Great Sect Master that you guys mentioned was not enough to convince you, then I will tell you other stories."
"The head disciple of the Devil Stone Sect Sect Master, Old Devil Shi Ji, the First Level of the Heavenly Stage expert, Sang Zi, and Yi Ren, the Subordinate Country Emperor, Shen Yong, who had just broken through to the Sky Realm, have all become the spirits of the Underworld's dead now. And the person who killed them was the same person. Furthermore, Nie Zhen had defeated Shen Tiannan with a battle between him and the fifth sect's third disciple, Shen Tiannan. If it wasn't for your Junior Brother being lenient, Shen Tiannan would have already been killed. "
"Oh?!" Everyone looked at Nie Zhen in surprise, especially First Senior Sister and Soong Dong'er. Their eyes were filled with excitement.
Great Sect Master and the seventh disciple had only just entered the Ninth Level of the Earth Stage, defeating him wasn't much of a feat, and it would be very difficult for them to defeat an expert from the First Level of the Heavenly Stage.
Even if it was Expert of the Heavenly Stage, a newly advanced Subordinate Country disciple, he would still be able to win against him. The head Devil Stone Sect disciple, Cai Saangzi, was extremely infamous, and was considered strong amongst the First Level of the Heavenly Stage experts, so even if the disciples were of the same level, they might not necessarily be able to defeat him.
You know, defeating and killing are two different concepts. Sometimes, although the other party's strength is inferior to yours, you can't do anything about it even if you wholeheartedly focus on escaping.
However, Nie Zhen actually already had the strength to kill First Level of the Heavenly Stage, which meant that his cultivation must be at least at the second level of the Sky Realm.
Combined with the fact that he almost killed Shen Tiannan, Nie Zhen already had the qualifications to rush into the top ten core disciples!
Soong Dong'er couldn't help but say, "Junior Brother Nie, Junior Brother Nie, it seems like we are really ignorant and ill-informed. We have never heard of such a great achievement. Since that's the case, you have to put forth your best during this year's annual examination to bring honor to our sect!"
Nie Zhen laughed, "I will definitely not fail you!"
Duan Rong obviously had a lot of confidence in Nie Zhen. In fact, with Nie Zhen's strength, he could already compete for the uppermost rank of the core disciples. He immediately said to Nie Zhen, "Nie Zhen, your first mission right now is to first get the top three disciples in the advanced disciples. Only then will you be able to enter the core disciple area and then participate in the core disciple exam."
Nie Zhen cupped his fist and said, "Disciple understands."
