2082 It’s Useless Even If He Comes Back. He Won’t Be Able To Do Anything. (2)
Cutting off people’s wealth was like killing one’s parents!
This enmity was not to be taken lightly.
“Don’t worry. Let’s see what they want to do.” Yue Qiqiao comforted everyone.
At this moment, she harbored an ominous premonition. Feng Qingyan was not a virtuous person, and his humiliating defeat in the recent competition didn’t bode well. If he had personally come to confront them now, it couldn’t be for the sake of celebrating their victory, could it?
She could feel the pressure when facing an established force like the Qingyan Society.
While there had been room for maneuvering in the previous arena battles, given that they were all freshmen, if it involved Feng Qingyan and the high-ranking members of the Qingyan Society, they would be out of their league. The disparity was truly insurmountable.
Slap!
At this moment, a round of applause echoed from the sky.
Feng Qingyan gazed down at the members of the Constellation Society, lightly clapping his hands, and said, “The Constellation Society has truly impressed me.”
“I thought only Wang Teng would be able to grace the stage, but it seems all of you are exceptionally gifted talents.”
“What does President Feng want to say?” Yue Qiqiao stepped forward, gazing at Feng Qingyan, and asked calmly.
“Not much. I’m someone who values talent. I just find it a pity,” Feng Qingyan shook his head, displaying a sense of regret. He continued slowly, “With your talents, why should you settle for being beneath Wang Teng? Instead, come to the Qingyan Society, and I will provide you with more resources. You will quickly grow stronger than you are now.”
“Have you finally shown your true colors now that you’ve lost?” Yue Qiqiao mocked Feng Qingyan, saying, “Are you using these underhanded methods to try to merge the Constellation Society into the Qingyan Society? You lost the competition and now you’re trying to play the good guy? Do you think we’re fools?”
“You can’t put it that way. I just want you to see the reality. Wang Teng can’t offer you anything. He’s been absent for the past six months, and the benefits he provided earlier have likely been depleted. In the end, he’s just been offering you empty promises. Why cling to him?” Feng Qingyan remained composed and said calmly.
“Furthermore, the doors of the Qingyan Society aren’t just open to a few of you; they are open to other talented members of the Constellation Society as well. Your talents are remarkable, don’t waste your time in the Constellation Society. Come to the Qingyan Society. The Freshmen Leaderboard is about to end, and if you don’t make a decision soon, you will surely regret it in the future.”
Yue Qiqiao’s complexion subtly changed. Feng Qingyan was playing hardball. Since he couldn’t win against them, he was trying to lure their members. And he was doing it in front of such a large audience, clearly looking down on the Constellation Society.
While a few of them could resist Feng Qingyan’s temptations, not everyone could.
Everyone could see the ability of Qi Lianfeng, Wen Ningfu, Gadon, and others. Under the grooming of the Qingyan Society, they had indeed become stronger quickly.
Suddenly, Yue Qiqiao understood that the arena competition was not only about defeating the Constellation Society.
Of course, winning would be the best outcome.
But more importantly, they aimed to showcase their strength.
Despite their loss, it was impossible to deny the power of Qi Lianfeng and the others.
Everyone could see it.
Not just anyone could make it into the top 30 of the Freshmen Leaderboard. For many geniuses, becoming stronger was achievement enough.
The top ten rankings were a luxury they didn’t dare to hope for.
“As long as our President returns, everyone’s strength will rapidly catch up to the others,” Yue Qiqiao thought rapidly, and then said, “Our President is a peak grandmaster alchemist. This won’t pose a problem for him.”
The members of the Constellation Society calmed down after hearing Yue Qiqiao’s words.
That’s right!
Their president was a peak grandmaster alchemist, and they have already enjoyed some advantages from him. With their president’s expertise, boosting their strength wouldn’t be an issue.
Furthermore, the Constellation Society was in its infancy, and those who stayed would become the pioneers of the society. The people who joined later couldn’t be compared to them.
This was a golden opportunity. They couldn’t just give it up easily.
They had nearly been led astray by Feng Qingyan!
Many of them reaffirmed their determination, but there were also some whose gazes flickered. They considered joining the Qingyan Society a promising choice.
Established factions came with their advantages, and at the very least, within the Qingyan Society, they wouldn’t be easily harassed by others.
In contrast, in the Constellation Society, they were constantly subjected to various forces’ scheming.
It had been that way before. Even though the Constellation Society had won the arena competition this time and their adversaries might quiet down for a while, what about the future?
No one was willing to squander their precious time on ceaseless disputes.
In the Stellar Academies, time was extremely valuable. Everyone was engaged in a race against the clock in their cultivation.
Because if they ever slacked off or wasted too much time, others were very likely to surpass them.
One step behind meant one step behind.
In the world of martial arts, it was essential to be relentless!
The struggle was not only for resources but also for time.
“A peak grandmaster alchemist is indeed impressive, but can Wang Teng handle everything on his own?” Feng Qingyan laughed, a laugh filled with disdain. “In the Qingyan Society, we have several grandmaster alchemists, not to mention master alchemists. Whatever pills you desire, we can supply them internally, and at a more affordable cost than the academy’s Treasure Pavilion.”
“If that’s the case, why are you going through all this difficulty to win over our President?” Yue Qiqiao sneered, “And don’t forget, our President’s alchemical efficiency is not something an ordinary alchemist can compare to. The pills he produces on his own can match the pills created by several master alchemists, and they have even better effects. Even Alchemy Saint Tao Yuan and Grandmaster Pu Yongnian recognize his talent. Can your alchemists measure up to that?”
