Free Web NovelChapter 2054: Chapter 2054: A Difficult Dilemma
At the same time, those two also noticed Su Chen and Xi Youyou, and immediately, beams of anger and hatred shot out!
They didn’t expect to meet Su Chen and Xi Youyou here again, and even more unexpected, that they were from the Tianhe Guild!
"What’s wrong?"
At this moment, a young man beside the two asked:
"Do you have a grudge against those two?"
"We do!"
The woman’s eyes were full of fire, as if they were about to ignite!
"Both Presidents, we’re all old friends, no need to be like this!"
At this time, the president of the Zijin Guild, Yao, smoothed things over.
In respect of his reputation, the other two guilds certainly had to comply, so they didn’t continue to confront each other!
Moreover, they all understood that no matter how much they said now, it was useless, in the end, it would depend on the performance on stage!
Afterwards, the members of the Zijin Guild and those from the Ju Hai Guild also took their seats one by one, the three guilds not sitting together.
Although they were all in the front row, they were spaced apart, forming a triangular shape.
At this time, an aged elder took the stage. He was the host and referee of this competition, known as Old Qiu, respected and of high authority.
Although he didn’t belong to any guild, he had immersed himself in the study of the Path of Inscriptions all his life, achieving quite a lot, and was relatively respected by the major guilds.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this competition between the three major guilds, I know some of you have come from very far away."
The elder began his opening remarks:
"The competition between the three major guilds has been going on for tens of thousands of years. This is the highest level of Inscription skills in the Cangxuan Territory, and we are lucky to witness this grand event firsthand!"
"Now, I won’t waste any more words, the first round is the Elixir contest! Let’s invite the participants for this round to the stage."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone from the Zijin Guild came out, surprisingly a young person!
"Go, Senior Brother!"
Seeing this person step out, the people from the Zijin Guild immediately shouted excitedly!
It seemed that the admiration for this person within the Zijin Guild was no less than that for the president!
Under the cheers from the Zijin Guild, the person walked onto the stage, turned to face everyone, full of confidence and ease!
"Who is this young man?"
"You don’t know that? He’s Jun Heng, the one the Zijin Guild treasures more than anything!"
"So it’s him!"
"I remember several years ago, President Yao personally commented that Jun Heng’s talent in the Path of Inscriptions far exceeded his own, and his future achievements would surpass his by far!"
"It’s been many years since we’ve heard anything about him."
"I’ve heard that he’s been in seclusion for these years, didn’t expect that he would come out for this year’s three-guild competition."
"It seems the main purpose of the Zijin Guild this time is to push this person completely to the forefront!"
...
For a moment, everyone was buzzing with discussion!
Though Jun Heng was young, he was already a legend in the minds of the people!
At this moment, the president of the Ju Hai Guild, Luo, seemed a bit conflicted.
If he sent an elder, it would be somewhat unequal, winning wouldn’t look good!
Besides, the greater possibility is that since the Zijin Guild dared to put this person forward, they must have confidence!
He pondered for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, looking at a young man beside him, he said:
"Nan Xun, you participate in this round!"
The young man, upon hearing this, was taken aback for a moment, then immediately replied:
"Yes!"
Young people are full of passion, for him, having the opportunity to compete on the same stage as Jun Heng was something he couldn’t ask for!
The others from the Ju Hai Guild, upon hearing this, were puzzled at first, wondering why the president would let Nan Xun compete!
Though Nan Xun was talented, he was young, and wasn’t the highest achiever in Elixir making within the Ju Hai Guild!
Yet upon thinking further, they understood the president’s intention!
It’s about passing the challenge to the Tianhe Guild!
Their target all along has been the Tianhe Guild!
Both they and the Zijin Guild sent younger participants, would the Tianhe Guild dare send an elder to compete?
Winning wouldn’t be honorable, losing would be even more shameful!
The president of the Zijin Guild, Yao, at that moment had a mysterious smile on his face, as if everything was within his calculations!
Looking over at the Tianhe Guild, nearly everyone’s face seemed somewhat unpleasant.
Especially Mu Yunbai, not content, but also somewhat conflicted!
"President, let me go for this round!"
At this time, the young man from the Tianhe Guild, who previously didn’t get along with Su Chen, volunteered.
Mu Yunbai looked at him deeply, then nodded:
"Alright, this round, Guan Shao, you go."
He had no choice. After both the Zijin Guild and Ju Hai Guild sent young people, he could only choose a young person!
And among the younger generation, in the Elixir path, the one with the highest attainment was this young man who volunteered!
"President Mu, let me go."
At this time, Su Chen said softly.
He could see that both Mu Yunbai and Guan Shao were like ducks being pushed onto a perch, having no certainty at all.
"Su, what do you mean by this?"
As soon as Su Chen spoke, Guan Shao immediately objected.
"Since you know it’s a loss, why go up and make a fool of yourself?"
Su Chen smirked.
"You~~~"
Upon hearing this, Guan Shao was fuming, this guy just begged to be hit!
But at this time, Mu Yunbai waved his hand, stopping him.
"Mr. Su, do you mean you are also skilled in Alchemy?"
Mu Yunbai asked slightly nervously.
One must know that they invited him mainly for Artifact Refining, they never thought of letting him compete in the Elixir round.
"I wouldn’t say skilled."
Su Chen glanced at Guan Shao and said:
"But better than him by a bit."
Guan Shao was infuriated!
Xi Youyou also secretly commented:
"This guy’s mouth is still so sharp!"
"Forget it, Senior Brother, don’t argue with him."
Xi Youyou comforted Guan Shao.
Guan Shao, hearing this, looked at Xi Youyou in surprise, why did it feel like this junior sister had a different attitude towards that Su fellow?!
Before, she disliked him more than I did!
Xi Youyou, being watched by him, felt a bit uncomfortable and turned her head away.
Mu Yunbai didn’t have the mind to pay attention to their small actions and immediately asked:
"Really?"
Su Chen nodded slightly.
"Alright, this round is entrusted to Mr. Su!"
Mu Yunbai made a decision, solemnly said.
