The five were overjoyed. With such a powerful weapon, their combat strength would increase exponentially.
Yang Qingxuan toyed with the gourd for a while. He didn't expect it to be a life-saving item despite its ordinary appearance.
He had the Brilliant World Seal and the Taixuan Sword Vault, but this gourd made up for it.
At the same time, he was shocked that Hua Jieyu's eyes were so sharp that she could see through the illusion.
Qing Buli continued, "In the remaining time, do your best to familiarize yourself with these five weapons. If you need any resources, just ask me. I'll be in charge of your cultivation from now on. "
"Understood."
The five answered in unison.
Qing Buli continued, "Since it's a team battle, there must be a leader. Who do you think is suitable, Prince Jin?" He turned around.
Prince Jin looked at the five of them one by one. "Yinyao is smart, but cold and emotionless. She can't see things clearly. Fu Zhuo's attacks are strong, but he's impulsive and can't consider the big picture. Sir Jin is meticulous, but he's a loner and can't unite people. Lu Yifan is calm, but he's taciturn and can't manage the situation well. "
The four of them all had different expressions on their faces. They were all convinced by Prince Jin's comments and deeply agreed with him.
Qing Buli smiled. "So everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. It's hard to choose a leader."
"What about Yang Qingxuan?" Lu Yifan asked.
The four of them felt their hearts skip a beat. Yang Qingxuan was the only one missing from the four who'd made the assessment.
Prince Jin nodded. "Yang Qingxuan is the only one I can't see through. I can only describe him in two words: unfathomable."
"Hmph, Prince Jin thinks too highly of him!"
Fu Zhuo was the first to object. You Ye's high opinion of Yang Qingxuan had already made him extremely unhappy, even depressed.
Add to that the fact that he'd failed to become one of the four kings, and Prince Jin's high opinion of him, he couldn't help but rage.
Qing Buli nodded. "I agree with Prince Jin's assessment."
"What? Dean, you … "
Fu Zhuo was stunned.
"There are nearly ten thousand students in the academy. If there's anyone I can't see through, it's Yang Qingxuan and Wu Qiyue."
Yin Yao said coldly, "According to the dean and Prince Jin, they want Yang Qingxuan to be the leader. I don't mean to offend your opinions, but since you can't see through him, how do you know he's a suitable candidate? "
Fu Zhuo continued, "You're right. It'll be hard for him to convince the masses."
"Master Jin, Lu Yifan, what do you think?" Qing Buli asked.
Young Master Jin chuckled mischievously and spread out his hands, saying, "I don't care. As long as it's not me or Fu Zhuo, anyone is fine."
Fu Zhuo said angrily, "You can just exclude yourself. Why do you have to include me?"
Young Master Jin smiled and said, "If you were the captain, after the Five Nation Grand Competition, not only would you have to return the Essence Tool, but you would also be expelled. Naturally, I would strongly oppose it."
"Damn it!"
Fu Zhuo pointed at him and said angrily, "You stinky mouth. I'll cut you to pieces!"
He was about to explode when Qing Buli held him down and shouted, "Enough! Don't make a scene!"
Prince Jin said coldly, "Fu Zhuo, if you're still so temperamental during the competition, you'd better step down early and give the position to someone else. Otherwise, you'll be a burden to everyone."
Fu Zhuo's expression changed several times, and he said, "If it's a competition, I'll naturally listen to the captain's orders. However, the selection of the captain … has to convince everyone!"
Prince Jin said, "Then who do you respect the most among you?"
Fu Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "I don't respect anyone."
Everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this answer.
Qing Buli said angrily, "Get lost. You have no right to participate in the selection of the captain. When the time comes, you just have to listen to orders. If you mess things up, I'll kill you with my own hands."
Fu Zhuo snorted and leaned against a pillar in a huff, turning his head away.
Qing Buli then asked, "Lu Yifan, what do you think?"
Lu Yifan said, "I have no objections to Yang Qingxuan being the captain."
Qing Buli nodded. "Yinyao, you're the only one left?"
Yinyao said coldly, "I don't want to fight for the captain's position. I just want to be responsible for myself, the academy, and the sword in my hand. If I don't have the ability, I don't want to be a burden. "
Qing Buli said, "Then what must I do to convince you?"
"Hold on."
Yang Qingxuan raised both hands and interrupted, "I object. I'm just a new student, what ability do I have to lead everyone? I think Yinyao or Lu Yifan are the best candidates for the captain's position. "
Qing Buli and Prince Jin exchanged worried glances. Qing Buli said, "Yang Qingxuan, the bigger picture is more important. Both Prince Jin and I think you're the best candidate."
Yang Qingxuan smiled. "That's just your limited thinking. At least, I think Yinyao and Lu Yifan are better than me in this position."
Qing Buli and Prince Jin were silent. It was difficult to make a choice.
Yinyao suddenly giggled. "I've changed my mind. Let Yang Qingxuan lead the team."
Everyone was stunned. They didn't know why she'd changed her mind.
Yinyao said, "Yang Qingxuan's words just now show that he has some self-awareness. He's not the arrogant type. Just as Prince Jin said, Fu Zhuo, Master Jin, Lu Yifan, and I all have our flaws. Yang Qingxuan doesn't seem to have any obvious shortcomings for the time being. Letting him lead the team might be the best choice. "
Yang Qingxuan was speechless. Leading the team was a heavy responsibility. It wasn't easy.
Although he'd repeatedly declined, Qing Buli and Prince Jin insisted that he should take the job. Since he couldn't refuse, he could only accept it.
Hua Jieyu smiled faintly. "Interesting. Among the five of you, apart from Lu Yifan, the other three are stubborn and unyielding. You're in for a hard time."
Yang Qingxuan said gloomily, "You seem to be very happy."
"Haha."
Hua Jieyu smiled. "How could that be? I'm just very interested in the Grand Tournament of the Five Nations."
Yang Qingxuan couldn't be bothered with him. He pretended that he didn't exist.
After the team leaders were decided, Yin Yao and the others said their goodbyes and went back to study their artifacts.
Prince Jin did his best to encourage everyone before leaving.
Yang Qingxuan was asked to stay by Qing Buli. He seemed to have something to ask him alone.
The hall was quiet. Only the two of them were left, facing each other.
Qing Buli asked, "Do you know why I asked you to stay?"
Yang Qingxuan was very smart. He thought for a moment and said, "About the Forbidden Grounds?"
Qing Buli nodded. "That's one of the reasons. Do you have anything to say?"
Yang Qingxuan asked tentatively, "What do you want me to say?"
Qing Buli stared at him intently. It was as if he wanted to see through him completely.
Yang Qingxuan wasn't afraid. His eyes were as clear as water as he calmly met Qing Buli's gaze.
After a while, Qing Buli laughed heartily. "Haha, Prince Jin's evaluation of you is also my evaluation of you: unfathomable. But I want to add two more words: unmatched in both intelligence and courage. "
