Chapter 957: Selection For Top Disciples

Translator:EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor:EndlessFantasy Translation

In the main hall of the Shangguan Clan, Jiang Hao stood in the center. The people around him didnt dare to sit down.

Even Shangguan Qicheng only dared to stand in front of him and speak with his head lowered.

Everyone was terrified of the person at the front.

Jiang Hao remained calm. The people looked at him in admiration.

Fellow Disciple, please take a seat. Shangguan Qicheng gestured to him.

He let Jiang Hao sit at the top.

Shangguan Qingsu was shocked.

He didnt seem so smug anymore.

It was the first time she had seen Shangguan Qicheng so humble, and she was filled with many emotions.

When she was young, Shangguan Qicheng had been stubborn and intimidating.

But, at that moment, he lowered his head and didnt dare to speak too loudly.

People aged like that. It sometimes seemed like just an instant.

Jiang Hao was posing as Smiling San Sheng, so he obviously wasnt very polite.

He walked to the top step by step, then turned around and sat down.

Ive already stated my condition. Now, tell me yours. Of course, I heard it. But I want you to say it again.

He was fearless.

Shangguan Qicheng broke out in a cold sweat. He was under a lot of pressure as a leader.

He was the spokesperson, so he had to bear the burden.

Then, I will repeat myself, Shangguan Qicheng said carefully. We agree to obey your orders, but we hope to have a chance to choose what to do after ten tasks. But if you want anything else, we can discuss it. I hope you can understand.

After that, Shangguan Qicheng stopped talking.

Jiang Hao frowned. Just that? I thought they wanted to say that they can end the deal whenever they want

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. Just like what you said before, we can cancel the cooperation at any time. Everyone will have a choice. Do you have further doubts?

Shangguan Qingsu sighed. She realized something.

This could cancel the cooperation at any time, but that would be a loss for the Shangguan Clan.

The Shangguan Clan would be giving up on an opportunity that was tied completely to this arrangement.

Who would regret this cooperation? Only time would tell.

We want to test if you really have the ability to suppress the curse, Shangguan Qicheng said.

This was what everyone cared about.

If it didnt work, then everything was just empty promises.

However, Shangguan Qicheng did not dare to make any elaborate requests.

The other party had mentioned that they could end this cooperation at any time, which surprised him.

But it made him a little worried.

The more others looked down on his clan, the more he felt threatened.

How many days are left for it to manifest? Jiang Hao asked.

It was logical to ask for a test, and he wanted to show off.

If not, how would he convince an entire clan to listen to him?

However, he had to inform Gui about the situation and force Gu Changsheng to compromise.

Suppressing Gu Changsheng was his main goal.

There are still six days left, Shangguan Qicheng said.

Jiang Hao nodded. Then, a scroll flew out from his hand. Find a hidden place and set up a formation according to the requirements. Ten of you can enter the formation to experience its effects. We can discuss further plans later. Ill be back on the sixth day. I hope youll be ready then, Jiang Hao said after the other party had gotten the scroll.

After he finished, he disappeared and left everyone astonished.

Jiang Hao appeared in the courtyard and reverted to his original self.

He heaved a sigh of relief.

The Shangguan Clan surprised him. At the same time, he knew how much damage the curse had done to their clan.

All he had to do was wait for the right time.

The array formation was easy to set up. Any idiot could set it up.

As for where they would set it up, it was unknown.

The Shangguan Clan is not very strong. Their people are all on the decline.

Jiang Hao had looked at them closely. There was no one who could ascend to immortality.

It was like there was a ceiling they couldnt break.

No one knew if they would really fight.

After all, the Shangguan Clan had a lot of resources.

He had accepted a mission. He could go out as he pleased for the next five months.

The main thing was that he had to go out continuously and was not sure if it would be safe.

He was going to take a long time, but if he failed, he would have to pay 5,000 spirit stones.

He would have to pay about 5,500 spirit stones for taking the job twice, so he took this job.

Five months was enough for him to fight Gu Changsheng.

After that, Jiang Hao began to wait.

The Spirit Herb Gardens still had one hundred more spirit herbs to water. He couldnt stay outside for very long.

As for the people heading West, they had already set off. Xiao Li was going too, but when she heard that it was to read some book, she ran away.

She took the spirit beast and went into hiding.

Cheng Chou felt helpless when he found out about this. He tried his best to help her, but Junior Sister Xiao Li avoided him and everyone else.

People were indeed different.

However, he did not mind. After all, his luck was already good enough.

When Cheng Chou saw Jiang Hao coming to the Spirit Herb Garden, he hurriedly went up and said, Senior Brother Jiang, the sect has released some news

What is it? Jiang Hao was puzzled.

The sect was still recuperating. If they kept fighting, the sect might face a crisis.

Its news about the top disciple, said Cheng Chou. The sect is thinking of selecting some disciples who are qualified to challenge the top disciples.

Challenge the top disciples? Jiang Hao was surprised.

Was the sect trying to provoke the ten top disciples?

They were trying to select people who were powerful enough to challenge them.

In that way, only powerful people will be in the top positions. They would be stronger than ever.

Before, anyone strong enough to challenge the top disciples could do it. However, now, there will be a screening process before they can challenge the top disciples. They would need to pa.s.s the pre-selection before they can challenge the top disciples. In short, it wont be as easy as before, Cheng Chou said.

Did they say when one can challenge the top disciples after the preliminaries? Jiang Hao asked.

The elimination is held once every fifty years. Those who join later will have to wait for the next elimination. During the elimination period, the challenger can ask for a match every year to challenge the top disciple. Anyone can, said Cheng Chou.

Jiang Hao nodded.

It was more systematic now, but the pressure on the top disciples had increased.

What happens if the challenger loses? Jiang Hao asked curiously.

Three failures and youll be kicked out of the qualifiers, Cheng Chou said.

Jiang Hao sighed. Every fifty years, he would have three chances in exchange for one elimination.

Should he partic.i.p.ate?

I also heard that as long as you successfully become a top disciple, you will be received by the Sect Master. Cheng Chou sighed.

He had never seen the Sect Master before.

Jiang Hao found it very strange.

The Sect master might be Elder Baizhi.
