836: Chapter 240_2 836: Chapter 240_2 Flying Immortal Peak ranks first within the Hundred Peaks Sect; naturally, he wanted to let him go first.
Surrounding them, the crowd immediately became dissatisfied and called out, “We can’t let the first-ranked go first.”
“Right, if we’re going by ranking, then it should be those ranked lower who go first.”
“Yes, let those ranked lower go first.”
“Why should those ranked lower get to go first?”
The crowd argued back and forth for a while but couldn’t decide on who should go first.
Across the way, Liao Youdi and Zhu Peng watched with utterly confused expressions, while Duo Duo looked somewhat impatiently at the crowd and called out, “Since you all have to tell us about the strengths of your peaks anyway, why do you want to go first?
If you go later, after hearing what other peaks have to offer, wouldn’t that be better?”
As her words fell, many people immediately started nodding their heads in agreement.
“That makes sense, forget it, I won’t fight with you guys over this.”
“Shouldn’t we respect the elderly and care for the young?
Peak Master Zhao, you go ahead.”
“No, didn’t we agree to go by the Hundred Peaks’ ranking?
It should be Flying Immortal Peak’s turn to go first; they took first place in the Hundred Peaks competition, and we can’t deny them that privilege.”
Pan Bing listened to the crowd’s words but shook his head and said, “Enough, let’s start from the peak with the lower ranking; after all, give them a chance since they’re ranked lower.”
As Pan Bing finished speaking, someone immediately stepped forward and called out, “Since that’s the case, then I won’t be shy.”
A burly man with a full beard stepped in front of Liao Youdi and introduced himself directly, “I am the Peak Master of Welcoming Sun Peak.
Our ranking in the Hundred Peaks Sect is, indeed, not very high, often around the eightieth place.
Compared to the Top Ten Peaks, we are certainly lacking, but I can assure you that, should you enter our Welcoming Sun Peak, you will become the most valued disciple in our peak, without a doubt!”
No sooner had his words fallen than many peak masters from the crowd began to call out, “What kind of offer is that?
With Liao Youdi’s talent, she would be the most valued disciple in whichever peak she enters!”
“Exactly, Liao Youdi, if you join our peak, I can also guarantee that you will be our most valued disciple, without a ‘one of’ at the end!”
“Our peak’s ranking is much higher than your Welcoming Sun Peak!”
The Peak Master of Welcoming Sun Peak, hearing the shouts of the crowd, became immensely annoyed and called out loudly, “Can you let me finish speaking before you interrupt?
It’s my time now.”
After shouting, he turned to Liao Youdi and said, “You Di, as you can tell by the name of our Welcoming Sun Peak, we are a Fire System Peak, and you, with your Ice Fire Immortal Body, must enter a Fire System Peak.”
As these words were spoken, many of the Fire System Peak masters immediately chimed in.
“Peak Master Zhu is right, You Di, you would do best to enter one of our Fire System Peaks.”
“You Di’s divine grace would be wasted if she went to any other peak.”
“With an Ice Fire Immortal Body, she must definitely join a Fire System Peak.”
The Fire System Peak masters instantly aligned their stance, not discussing anything else, and focused on eliminating the other peaks’ masters; then they could take their time to negotiate who would take in Liao Youdi.
Since everyone’s arrival, Liao Youdi, who had been silent, finally showed her agreement and nodded, “Thank you all for your consideration.
I am aware of my talent, and this time, I will indeed choose only a Fire System Peak.”
As her words ended, the many gathered peak masters suddenly looked dejected.
“You Di, think it over carefully.
True, you possess the Ice Fire Immortal Body, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to join their Fire System Peaks.”
“That’s right, if you enter a Fire System Peak, you can only cultivate Fire Techniques, but if you enter another peak, you can learn many more Divine Skills.”
Hearing this, the Fire System Peak masters immediately retorted, “Why should an Ice Fire Immortal Body join other peaks to cultivate different Divine Skills?”
“Exactly, an Ice Fire Immortal Body should naturally cultivate Fire Techniques.
Going to another peak to cultivate other skills would simply waste your talent!”
Pan Bing listened to each Fire System Peak master and sighed inwardly.
He knew if he didn’t speak now, Flying Immortal Peak would truly have no chance, so he had no choice but to say, “Actually, it’s not only Fire System Peaks that excel in fire affinity.
Joining another peak, you can also cultivate Fire Techniques.
Just like our Flying Immortal Peak, our Elder Brother Lie Yan is one of the top eleven contenders in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s immortal combat competition and one of the ten Immortal Generals.
What he is skilled in is Fire Technique.
In our Hundred Peaks Sect, the strongest disciple among many peaks with a fire affinity is Sister Li Ke from Vermilion Bird Peak, yet Elder Brother Lie Yan’s strength is not less than Sister Li Ke’s.
If you join our Flying Immortal Peak, you could also seek guidance from Elder Brother Lie Yan.
Moreover, our Flying Immortal Peak is ranked first among the Hundred Peaks Sect, ever since our sect was established, Flying Immortal Peak has always been first, and we have never known what it is to be second.”
As Pan Bing spoke, the crowd immediately fell silent.
They could argue against other peaks, but how could they argue against Flying Immortal Peak?
Pan Bing was right; since the formation of the Hundred Peaks Sect, the first place had always been held by Flying Immortal Peak, and indeed, they had a Lie Yan whose strength truly was not inferior to Li Ke’s.
