Chapter 824 Chief Pavilion Master Selection
When Chi Jingâs voice faded, it was as though cold water had fallen into a pot of hot oil. It caused huge waves.
All members of the four pavilions were shocked. Even Lu Xiao and Han Yuan were taken aback for a moment before a look of wild joy lit up their faces.
âIs it finally time to start the chief pavilion master battle?!â
Lu Xiao could feel a river overturning in his heart. He had coveted the position of chief pavilion master for a long time, but Chi Jing had always postponed the chief pavilion master battle on the grounds that the Wind Pavilion had no pavilion master. But who would have thought that Chi Jing would unexpectedly announce the opening of the chief pavilion master battle!
Compared with the position of chief pavilion master, the position of wind pavilion master was considered nothing.
After becoming the chief pavilion master, he could officially control the four pavilions, rather than be in charge of only one pavilion as he did now. Moreover, the status and salary that the chief pavilion master had in the Tianyuan Region werenât something that a pavilion master could compare to.
Lu Xiao stared at the two figures standing above everyone with blazing eyes. In his view, the reason Chi Jing agreed was because the sect master Xuan Kun had pressured her.
After all, in the past, Chi Jing had stopped the chief pavilion master battle from going ahead with the reason that the Wind Pavilion didnât have a pavilion master. But that reason wasnât valid anymore.
âThis time Lady Chi Jing can be said to have picked up a sesame seed but lost a watermelon.â Lu Xiao sneered. He was a little upset by Chen Beifengâs failure, but now he was very impressed by sect master Xuan Kunâs great skill.
âAnd this time, the chief pavilion master will be rewarded with a little saint art!â
Lu Xiaoâs eyes blazed. Although a little saint art had the word little, it still reached the scope of Saint Genesis Art. Moreover, this type of Genesis technique was incredibly rare, even in the entire Hunyuan Heaven.
Therefore, let alone people of the Divine Dwelling stage, even Heavenly Sun stage experts would find it difficult to contain their desire and longing in the face of a little saint art.
On the Forest Pavilionâs side, Mu Liuâs expression grew solemn, and he sighed, âThe four pavilions wonât be peaceful anymore for a period of time.â
Anybody would covet the position of chief pavilion master as well as a little saint technique.
Compared with such a battle, Zhou Yuanâs achievement of becoming the master of the Wind Pavilion dimmed in an instant.
On the Wind Pavilionâs side, Ye Bingling, Ye Qiushui and the others were similarly stunned, and they were so shocked by the news that they still hadnât snapped out of it after a good while.
âI didnât expect the battle for the position of chief pavilion master would finally start after having been untouched for years.â
Ye Bingling gradually awakened and then looked at Zhou Yuan with a complicated look in her beautiful eyes. âYou jinxed it.â
Zhou Yuan laughed: âIsnât that a good thing?â
âHow could it be good?â Ye Bingling furrowed her eyebrows and explained, âIn the past, Lady Chi Jing has always prevented the chief pavilion master battle because she knew that the position would fall into the hands of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. But now she has suddenly agreed. This is most likely because sect master Xuan Kunâs pressured her to do so.â
Her brows furrowed in worry. If Lu Xiao really became the chief pavilion master, then, even if Zhou Yuan had become the master of Wind Pavilion, they would still ultimately be suppressed by Lu Xiao, which wouldnât be good for them.
Zhou Yuan smiled. He didnât think that Chi Jing agreeing to the chief pavilion master battle was a compromise with sect master Xuan Kun, because she also knew that his goal wasnât to become the wind pavilion master. The chief pavilion master position was his ultimate goal.
Perhaps that sect master Xuan Kun had intended to force her to agree, but his senior sister Chi Jing might have had other thoughts, and her thought might have been that he was equally capable of competing for the position of chief pavilion master.
âMy senior sister Chi Jing must think highly of me.â
With Chi Jingâs trust and attention, the pressure that Zhou Yuan felt wasnât small. It seemed that he shouldnât feel proud of his victory over Chen Beifeng this time. After all, as Ye Bingling had said, there was a huge gap between Chen Beifeng and Lu Xiao and Han Yuan.
At least Zhou Yuan understood that if he were to face Lu Xiao now, his probability of losing was greater than winning. It wasnât embarra.s.sing to admit this now because Zhou Yuanâs potential in the Divine Dwelling stage was far greater than Lu Xiaoâs.
He had only polished and connected five of the nine Divine Dwellings. If he were to connect the four remaining Divine Dwellings, his Genesis qi foundation would inevitably reach an astonis.h.i.+ng level that Lu Xiao couldnât reach.
Of course, potential couldnât be turned into strength to fill the gap between them. Therefore, for the next four months, he couldnât relax at all. Otherwise if he were to fail, he would greatly disappoint his senior sister Chi Jing.
Moreover, Zhou Yuan also had great interest in the little saint art.
He possessed a variety of high-grade Heaven Genesis techniques, but had never touched any Saint Genesis technique before. But he knew that any Saint Genesis technique possessed unimaginable powers and, once mastered, would significantly improve his strength.
He possessed the Seven Cangxuan arts, and if he cultivated the seven arts to great success, he could merge them and turn them into Saint Genesis techniques, but the difficulty of this was too great. Currently, there were only two techniques that Zhou Yuan could be said to have mastered, and they were the Mythic Saint Body and Omega Saint Spirit Art.
He hadnât quite mastered the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb, let alone the other high-grade Heaven Genesis techniques that he hadnât had time to practice.
One day, when he merged the seven arts, it should be a true Saint Genesis art, which would be far superior to a little Saint Genesis technique.
At the highest point, Chi Jingâs burgundy hair flowed lightly in the wind, and her gaze flickered toward Zhou Yuan. The two gazes met, and they both smiled as though they understood each otherâs mind.
Chi Jing ran her eyes across the entire audience, and her voice rang out: âEveryone, practice hard for the chief pavilion master battle in four months. âCompared to today, it will be a major event for my Tianyuan Region.â
âWe will follow Lady Chi Jingâs words.â
Countless people bowed respectfully.
Chi Jing nodded. She knew it wasnât good to show Zhou Yuan too much attention in public. After all, given her ident.i.ty, even if Zhou Yuan had become the Wind Pavilionâs pavilion master, the gap in status between them was still huge. So, with the wave of his hand, her slender body blurred and quickly vanished.
When Chi Jing left, the figure of sect master Xuan Kun also faded away, but before he disappeared, he seemed to cast a glance in Zhou Yuanâs direction.
Following the departure of the two grand elders, the pressure that shrouded the world also dissipated, and countless people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yi Qiushui looked at Zhou Yuan and teased, âPavilion master Zhou Yuan, you have won today. Do you plan on treating your brothers to a feast?â
Zhou Yuan glanced at the surrounding members of the Wind Pavilion who were looking at him eagerly. He knew that Yi Qiushui was suggesting that this was the best time to win peopleâs hearts, so he didnât refuse and nodded with a smile. âTonight at Wind Restaurant, we wonât return without getting drunk.â
Upon hearing his words, the members of the Wind Pavilion cheered, and the atmosphere turned warm and joyous.
But that was when a figure came over. It was one of the deputy pavilion masters of the Fire Pavilion, w.a.n.g Chen.
Ye Bingling frowned and said, âIs there something wrong, deputy pavilion master w.a.n.g Chen?â
w.a.n.g Chen remained expressionless, then gave a cupped first salute to Zhou Yuan and smiled insincerely. âCongratulations to pavilion master Zhou Yuan.â
It was clear that he was extremely unhappy. After all, he had previously looked at Zhou Yuan condescendingly, but now, Zhou Yuanâs status was much higher than his own.
âI came here to inform pavilion master Zhou Yuan that since the Wind Pavilion now has a pavilion master, I hope that you wonât be absent from the four pavilion conference in three days. After all, the pavilion master conference has always been hosted by our pavilion master, Lu Xiao,â w.a.n.g Chen said indifferently.
There was a hint of arrogance in his tone of voice, and in w.a.n.g Chenâs view, there was still a huge gap in strength between Zhou Yuan and Lu Xiao.
Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes. âFour pavilions masters conference? As far as I know, this should be presided over by the chief pavilion master?â
Lu Xiao really wasnât polite. He was clearly just the pavilion master of the Fire Pavilion but had stretched his hand so far.
The corners of w.a.n.g Chenâs mouth slightly tugged upward in a sneer. âIs there a difference? Itâs going to happen sooner or later.
âI have delivered the message, so farewell.â
When his voice faded, he turned and left.
âThe Fire Pavilion is too arrogant.â
âThey consider everyone else beneath them!â
Many other members of the Wind Pavilion were all a little unhappy when they saw w.a.n.g Chen being rude to Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan calmly waved his hand. âDonât let a fly ruin the good mood. Letâs go celebrate.â
When the crowd cheered again, he narrowed his eyes in the direction w.a.n.g Chen left.
The pavilion master conference most likely wasnât anything good, but of course he wouldnât be absent. When they do see each other at the conference, he would likely clash with Lu Xiao.
