However, that was as far as he could help The Will of Heaven. At most, he could provide some information and sell a favor. He could not openly help The Will of Heaven deal with Southern Aurora Polaris.
After all, The Will of Heaven was not that close to him. Southern Aurora Polaris was able to compete for the position of Deputy Island Master, so he was naturally not a weakling. It was obviously not worth it to offend such a powerhouse for the sake of a favor from The Will of Heaven.
"Southern Aurora Polaris?" The eyes of The Will of Heaven could not help but reveal a frightening killing intent. He asked in a deep voice, "Has this matter already been decided?"
"Not yet, but it's basically decided internally. All that's left is the final step of holding a meeting and voting. If Xing Xing had recovered a few days later, I reckon there would be nothing left for you. After all, from the current situation, the Island Master and the other two all support him." Chu Wentian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
In his opinion, even if The Will of Heaven's strength had recovered to its peak, it would still be very difficult for him to keep the position of Deputy Island Master. Even if he chose to abstain, the other three, including the Island Master, supported Southern Aurora Polaris. It was easier said than done for The Will of Heaven to change their minds in a short period of time.
Moreover, The Will of Heaven had never been a person who was good at making friends. In the past, his relationship with the other three was very ordinary. At this time, he would not lower his head to speak up for them unless the sun rose from the west.
"Fine. Since that's the case, I'll grant them their wish." The Will of Heaven suddenly sneered.
"Ah?" Chu Wentian was stunned and said in surprise, "You plan to give up just like that? It doesn't seem like your usual style, Xing Xing? "
"Since they all support Southern Aurora Polaris, what else can I do? I can't possibly force them to change their minds, right? Although I'm confident, I'm not that arrogant. Since that's the case, I might as well grant them their wish. What do you say, old friend? "The Will of Heaven said with an unfathomable expression.
"This … You're right, but no matter how I think about it, I don't think you'll be willing to endure it. Xing Xing, what are your plans? There's no need to hide it from me, right? "Chu Wentian looked at The Will of Heaven with a puzzled expression.
"It's very simple. If they support Southern Polar Light, then let them support him. However, on the day he takes office, whether or not Southern Polar Light can truly sit on the position of Middle Island's Deputy Island Master will depend on whether or not he has the ability," The Will of Heaven said with a cold gaze.
"Don't tell me … you want to challenge him?" Chu Wentian was shocked, and then came to a sudden realization.
Heaven Rank Island had always encouraged geniuses to stand out. Even the position of Middle Island's Vice Island Master, who was at the pinnacle of power, could be given to him on the day he took office. Challenge him.
However, there was a precondition for this. The challenger's strength must be lower than the predecessor's. Otherwise, if it was purely bullying the weak, then the challenger wouldn't be considered a shocking genius expert. Naturally, there was no need to make an exception to promote the challenger.
Although this rule had existed since ancient times, there were very few opportunities for it to take effect.
After all, those who could compete for the position of Deputy Island Master were the best among the experts of the same level. Even among the experts of the same level, they belonged to the top or even invincible existence. Letting someone whose strength was lower than him challenge him would have even less chance of winning.
"Hmph, when that day comes, even the Island Master and the other two won't be able to stop me." The Will of Heaven's eyes were surging with battle intent. After being injured for so many years, he hadn't felt this kind of excitement for a long time.
"This … Xing Xing, are you sure you want to do this? That Southern Polar Light is a Mysterious Ascending Early Stage expert! "Chu Wentian couldn't help but remind him.
"Hehe, so what? The number of Mysterious Ascending Stage experts who died in the hands of me, The Will of Heaven, is not one or two. Do you think I'll be afraid of him? "The Will of Heaven smiled confidently.
"Uh … That's true. You've always regarded challenging above your level as a common thing." Hearing this, Chu Wentian couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "Now that I think about it. Why do I feel that the rules of this challenge are simply tailor-made for you? "
Things that others couldn't do, when put to The Will of Heaven, were just child's play. The phrase tailor-made was really not fake.
"The only thing I'm worried about now is that when the time comes, Southern Polar Light will be thick-skinned and refuse to accept the challenge no matter what. Then I'll really be at my wit's end." The Will of Heaven said worriedly.
"Don't worry about this. If he doesn't accept the challenge face to face, then he can't take up the position. Even if he avoids you later and lets him take up the position secretly, it won't be justifiable, and he won't be able to convince the public." Chu Wentian laughed and said, "So I believe that no matter who is in his position, it's impossible to avoid the challenge. After all, he's a Mysterious Ascending Stage expert, but he's afraid of you, a Nascent Soul Stage expert. This is too shameful."
"I hope so." The Will of Heaven nodded. Although his battle achievements in the past were shocking, it had been a long time since then, so much time had passed, and the deterrence was already much weaker.
And any Mysterious Ascending Stage expert would definitely be extremely arrogant, and would definitely not be willing to lose face easily. For someone like Southern Polar Light who was about to make a name for himself, even if he was afraid of him, he shouldn't be afraid in front of him.
A few days later, with the unanimous approval of the Island Master Pavilion, and the support of the forces behind him, the joyous day of Southern Polar Light taking up the position of Middle Island's Deputy Island Master finally arrived.
This day was destined to be remembered in history, because this was the first time that someone from the Cultivators Academy had sought the glorious position of the pinnacle of Middle Island's power.
The Island Master's Pavilion, which had always been closed to the public, opened its doors for a rare occasion on this day. Almost all the influential figures of all the sects and forces on Central Island were invited to attend, cheering for Southern Aurora Polaris, the new Vice Island Master.
"Heh, what a grand scene." Lin Yi followed The Will of Heaven and walked in the crowd. Feeling the powerful aura of the people around him, he couldn't help but sigh.
The people who came today were all the top big shots of the various forces. He was an early-stage Golden Core expert. Although he had a perfect breakthrough and had the potential to become the strongest Golden Core expert, compared to these super experts who were at the Nascent Soul Stage or even the Mysterious Ascending Stage, he was still too far behind. They were not on the same level at all.
"It can be seen that this Southern Polar Light's background isn't simple. Otherwise, just based on his title as the Cultivators Academy's Deputy Dean, these people would definitely not come in person. At most, they would send a congratulatory letter over," The Will of Heaven said lightly.
In the past, whether it was him or the other three Deputy Island Masters, when they took up their positions, it was far from this exaggerated. Southern Polar Light's vast lineup was even comparable to that of the Island Master.
"Could it be that Southern Polar Light's other background is the Central Chamber of Commerce?" Lin Yi looked at Si Haixiao, who was chatting cheerfully with Southern Polar Light, and couldn't help but make a guess. Floating Astronomy.
