Chapter 77: Chapter 76 Evaluations

“Who exactly borrowed my power?” Yun Zhi was puzzled. The Eternity Sect had fled in disarray, leaving no one behind, only leaving behind the Mountain and River Tripod, which could be sold to a First Class Sect.
Now he couldn’t find out who had borrowed his power.
There was a type of magic skill called “God Descent Technique” in magic arts that could borrow power with the other party’s consent. However, this technique was on the verge of being lost and was very difficult to learn. Yun Zhi hadn’t seen this kind of magic skill in a long time.
And who could borrow his power without his consent? Yun Zhi felt that the person who borrowed his power seemed not to have any ill intentions, so he instinctively did not stop his power from leaking.
Yun Zhi probably could guess who it was.
“But where did he learn the God Descent Technique from?”
Yun Zhi didn’t recall teaching Lu Yang a similar magic skill.
The first place, Lu Yang.
“Huh? The first place has changed?” The vice-Master was bewildered; they had been busy escaping and hadn’t noticed what Lu Yang did.
The Mountain and River Tripod was broken and couldn’t replay the event.
“But the Immortal Eye is never wrong. These three people are the most destructive!” The Master said confidently. He couldn’t figure out what Lu Yang had done. The previous first-place contestant had killed hundreds of people in a short period of time and posed a threat to thousands more, whose lives were hanging by a thread. It was truly unbelievable that Lu Yang could surpass this person and rank first.
But there was no need to guess. The Immortal Eye was a treasure of the Immortals, higher grade than the Mountain and River Tripod, and would absolutely not make a mistake.
Indeed, Lu Yang had summoned Yun Zhi, destroyed the Mountain and River Tripod and the headquarters of the Eternity Sect. The destruction he caused to the Eternity Sect could be ranked in the top three in history.
In terms of the damage done to the Master, he could be ranked first.
The Master said proudly, forgetting about his pain, “Look, I told you before, this Lu Yang is very wise. Although he may be behind in the rankings for a while, if you take your eyes off him for a moment, he can stir up a big commotion. Here you go, he has come first.”
“Don’t underestimate Meng Jingzhou and your favorite, Man Gu, just because they are average. If they had enough time, they would certainly mix up to the second or third.”
The vice-Master conceded defeat. The Master was truly the Master. Not only was he cautious in his actions, but he also had a keen eye. No wonder he was just the vice-Master, and the others were genuine.
“What is your evaluation of Lu Yang?”
After thinking for a moment, the Master said, “In the first test, Lu Yang demonstrated his martial talents by choosing unconventional tactics with his sword, it’s very rare in the world to enter the Dao through martial arts. In the second test, he meticulously observed and figured out the pattern, purchasing all the potatoes, preventing subsequent candidates from being tested, showing his huge destructive nature. This trait was even more prominent in the third test, it wouldn’t be an overstatement to say he was a natural-born seed of demon.”
The vice-Master was amazed. He had known the master for so long, but had never heard anyone receive such high praise.
“What about Meng Jingzhou?”
“Meng Jingzhou got his power from being bitten by a spider in the first test, which shows his luck, hence in this Great Era, he’s like a Dao seed created by destiny. In the second test, he meticulously researched the examination questions, thought about the problems from multiple perspectives, seemingly arrogant and domineering, but in fact, each step was a win, the plan was well executed, and ultimately he broke through the psychological defense of the examiner, successfully passing the examination.”
“Unfortunately, in the third test, he did not show his strengths before it ended, falling slightly behind Lu Yang. He’s like a reincarnation of Dao and demon.” The evaluation as the reincarnation of Dao and demon is also extremely rare. Among the younger generation, there are few who can get such evaluation from the Master. It seems that this Meng Jingzhou has a limitless future.
“What about Man Gu?”
“In the first test, he showed comprehension, persistency, and strategy. In the second test, he thought through the problem very thoroughly, but in the third test, he didn’t have much initiative. In previous tests, he was among the outstanding performers. Unfortunately, with peerless talents like them, I can only give him an evaluation of a demon in his heart.”
According to past experience, with the demon in the heart, as long as they don’t fall, they can become high-ranking officials of the Eternity Sect.
“Should we transfer them to the headquarters for careful cultivation?” the vice-Master asked.
The Master shook his head and shared his experience, “There’s no need to rush. They should start from the grassroots first, they need at least two years of grassroots experience. Trust me, grassroots experience is very helpful for their future growth. That’s how I made my way up.”
“And I have another plan. Lu Yang, with his unconventional thoughts and destructive power, could, when he matures, possibly infiltrate into a Righteous Path Sect, such as the Seek Dao Sect.”
The vice-Master chuckled, thinking the Master was overestimating them. While they could infiltrate other sects, it was too difficult to infiltrate the Seek Dao Sect. Even the thoughts of the Seek Dao Sect disciples were hard to follow, much less to infiltrate and blend in. They wouldn’t last long before being exposed.
Infiltrating the Seek Dao Sect? Easier said than done.
“I’m going to heal myself.” After the Master finished speaking, he went to the secret room to recover.
The vice-Master had no intention of plotting and usurping power from the start. Today was an example. Of course, if he killed the Master, he could climb a step higher, but what about afterward? When the Righteous Path came attacking, could he make the right judgment?
If he made a wrong judgment, he would definitely die under the technique of the Righteous Path. By then, regretting usurping the Master’s position would be too late.
Yanjiang Rudder.
“A total of ten people passed the test, and three of them received the evaluation of a natural-born seed of demon, the reincarnation of Dao and demon, and a demon in the heart?!” The Rudder Master was overjoyed upon receiving the message sent by the Master, his eyebrows raised in delight.
This was better than his best predictions! The chance for promotion was within sight!
The scattered Demon Path cultivators who didn’t pass the first and second tests were thrown into different areas by the eleven Managers during their unconscious period. When they woke up, they would forget the location of Yanjiang Rudder, and regard their previous experience as a dream.
The most secure method would be to kill them, thus ensuring that the location of Yanjiang Rudder would absolutely not be exposed. However, the Eternity Sect did not do this in view of the overall situation.
These scattered Demon Path cultivators caused havoc, which could attract the attention of the Righteous Path. Amid various confusing information, the Righteous Path couldn’t discern which was caused by the scattered Demon Path cultivators and which was done by the demonic sect, which could confuse their judgment.
Lu Yang and the other two slowly woke up. They had experienced too much just now, and their minds were a bit muddled.
The last scene they saw before they passed out was… the Eldest Senior Sister descending from the sky?!
Lu Yang broke out in a cold sweat, the Eldest Senior Sister didn’t see him transforming into her, did she? If she saw it, she would definitely flay him alive.
Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu also remembered what had happened, Lu Yang’s Imitation Fist had summoned the real Eldest Senior Sister.
Lu Yang warned the two with his eyes not to leak out the news, the two quickly nodded in understanding.
The Rudder Master suppressed his joy and said in as calm a voice as possible, “From today onwards, you ten are members of my Eternity Sect.”
“Normally, we should hold the initiation ceremony first, but the three rounds of tests today have drained everyone’s energy, myself included. It would be disrespectful to the Immortal Eternity to hold the ceremony in this state. Come back here tomorrow for the official initiation ceremony.”
Lu Yang could tell that when mentioning Immortal Eternity, the tone of the Rudder Master, as well as the expressions of the eleven Managers, all changed slightly.
This indicated that their belief in Immortal Eternity was not a pretense, but a firm belief in the existence of Immortal Eternity.
“No wonder it is called a ‘sect’.” Lu Yang thought.
The Rudder Master continued, “However, it wouldn’t be appropriate not to celebrate the joining of new members today. So, let’s go out and have a meal.”
“I heard that a new barbecue shop called ‘Once More’ has opened in the province. It tastes good and has received favorable reviews. Let’s gather there in a moment. It’s my treat.”
Lu Yang: “…”
Meng Jingzhou: “…”
ManGu: “…”
So, no rest, huh?
