Rather than alerting the enemy, it was better to pretend that they didn't know anything. As long as they remained vigilant, they'd see what these two were up to!
"Alright, since you've said so, I have no objections. Let Master Lin be the leader," Bao Zuoliang said immediately.
Everyone was in an uproar. This guy clearly wanted to do it himself, but wasn't his attitude changing a little too quickly?
But no matter what, the matter regarding the leader was settled. Since Lu Xiaozhong, Bao Zuoliang, and Su Kesheng had all unanimously approved of Lin Yi, and Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao were close to Lin Yi, it could be said that all the important people present had expressed their opinions, and the opinions of others didn't matter.
In reality, even if the others had opinions, they could only keep it to themselves. From today onwards, Lin Yi was the leader of the Morning Star Squad.
For the next two days, everyone stayed on the ship peacefully. Lin Yi thought that Bao Zuoliang and Su Kesheng would find a chance to cause trouble, but they didn't do anything at all. It was as if they'd accepted the fact that he was the leader. Not only did they not cause trouble, but they were also very respectful to him.
"What the hell are these two doing?" Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder. He wasn't naive enough to think that these two had really accepted their fate. Not causing trouble now could only mean one thing — these two must have a bigger plan in the future, which was why they were so tolerant!
Any possible danger had to be nipped in the bud as soon as possible. This was the operating principle of all assassins. It was a pity that Lin Yi couldn't make trouble out of nothing and attack these two rashly. He could only take it one step at a time, be careful, and remain vigilant.
Two days later, the sound of a horn suddenly came from the distance of the pier. Not long after, Chancellor Chen Xing appeared in front of everyone and ordered, "Alright, the path of a tycoon is about to begin. Everyone, gather and disembark!"
"Yes!" Everyone was instantly excited, and they immediately followed behind Lin Yi, the leader. They spontaneously lined up in an orderly manner, and their every movement was somewhat disciplined.
This situation caused Chancellor Chen Xing to be stunned. All of them were proud and arrogant geniuses. Even a high-ranking official like him could only force them to obey orders. It was almost unimaginable for them to obey the rules like this.
After asking in a low voice, Chancellor Chen Xing finally understood the whole story. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Lin Yi. If everyone could maintain the same pace in the next trial, then no matter if it was self-protection or breakthrough, they would all benefit. Maybe there would really be a few more Profound Ascending Stage masters in this trial!
Under the guidance of the Morning Star Chancellor, Lin Yi brought everyone to the square at the pier, and sat down cross-legged in the area marked with the words Morning Star Academy, quietly waiting for the Tyrant's path to begin.
Not far ahead was a high platform with a row of seats arranged neatly on it. At this time, many of the higher-ups from the various academies had already taken their seats. Everyone was discussing in private about which of them was the legendary president of the Alliance.
However, Lin Yi's mind was not on this. From the start, he had been looking for the Morning Pride Academy's team, trying to find Huo Yudie's figure. Unfortunately, in the end, his wish was not fulfilled.
There were unexpectedly many people present, especially since there were many tyrants here. Lin Yi did not dare to casually release his divine sense to sweep around. If he angered one of the tyrants, he would be seriously injured with just a slight thought. Moreover, it was the most basic rule of the cultivation world that one could not casually release one's divine sense in public.
Since he could not use his divine sense, he could only rely on his naked eyes. However, perhaps because of the hostile relationship between Chen Xing and Chen Jiao, they arranged for them to be extremely far apart from each other. Unless Lin Yi walked to the high platform and chose a good angle, it would be impossible to find someone through the gaps between so many academy disciples.
After a while, all the academy disciples were in position, and the higher-ups of the various academies had also taken their seats. At this time, a young man suddenly appeared in the center of the high platform, causing everyone's expression to turn solemn, not daring to speak.
Everyone was sizing up this young man, and naturally, Lin Yi was no exception. Although this person looked young, and his body did not release any terrifying aura, everyone knew that there was only one person on the stage at this time, and that was the legendary Alliance President.
Lin Yi, Wang Xinyan, and Huang Xiaotao looked at each other, their faces filled with astonishment. They had thought that the Alliance President would be an old man with a sage-like demeanor like Ling Yuanqing, but they did not expect him to have such a young and handsome face.
However, this was not too far-fetched. Once a practitioner reached Sky Rank, they would be able to maintain their appearance forever. As long as they wanted to, they could live for hundreds or thousands of years and maintain their appearance when they reached Sky Rank.
However, it was very common in the world of practitioners that women still looked beautiful, and men still looked dignified. Even after reaching Sky Rank, most male practitioners would not deliberately stop their appearance from aging, and would instead maintain a dignified appearance of a middle-aged or old man. After all, an old monster that was hundreds of years old wanted to keep a young face that looked like a twenty year old, after all. This was something that people did not know what to say …
But it was clear that this Alliance President was an exception. He was one of those few people.
Almost all the disciples on the stage looked at each other, but no one dared to make the slightest sound. The person on the stage was the legendary Earth Opening Stage, or even Sea Splitting Stage. Even if he did not reveal any of his aura, just this name alone was enough to oppress everyone to the point that they could not breathe.
The Alliance President slowly swept his gaze across the audience until some of the disciples could not take it anymore. Finally, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Everyone here are the elites from the various academies, and we are here for one thing, and that is to break through to Profound Ascension. Although this trial does not prohibit private fights, I hope that you all can distinguish your priorities! Also, you better not have the laughable thought that if you fail this time, there will be a next time. Because based on past experience, if you fail to break through to Profound Ascension the first time, the second time will be ten times harder, and the third time will be a hundred times harder. Think about it carefully! "
When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt suffocated. In fact, among all the students present, there were indeed some who came for the second or third time. For example, there was one from the Morning Star Academy this time, and it was a taciturn middle-aged man.
