"Ah? It ended just like that? " When they heard the Patriarch's announcement, everyone's complexion changed. Especially those who had yet to participate in this round of assessment.
"But Ye Wen and Sun Qiao weren't able to defeat Bai Zhengqi. How did they manage to pass the assessment? "
Everyone was stunned. Even if the Patriarch wanted to end the assessment, Ye Wen and Sun Qiao weren't able to defeat Bai Zhengqi.
Ye Wen was fine. Although he had lost, he was still very strong. He had even heavily injured Bai Zhengqi and nearly defeated him.
But Sun Qiao wasn't even able to last a few rounds before he was defeated. In terms of strength, Sun Qiao wasn't qualified at all.
Therefore, this caused everyone to be very dissatisfied.
"Do you really think that I need you to defeat Bai Zhengqi? If I were to only look at the strength of my direct disciple, why don't I just hold a small competition or even a big competition in the Cheng Family? Why do I need to hold a competition here? "Cheng Yu saw these people were all discussing spiritedly, so he spoke." Only allowed on Creativenovels.com
"What Patriarch is trying to say is that whether we can pass this assessment or not, we don't need to defeat Bai Zhengqi?" Everyone was stunned.
"Exactly. I have already said it before. For you guys to be able to come here, it has already proven that your strength is very outstanding in the Cheng Family.
Therefore, what I want to test is not your strength but your performance in the entire assessment.
Unfortunately, you guys have disappointed me. So many people, only Ye Wen and Sun Qiao dared to challenge Bai Zhengqi, "Cheng Yu said.
"So this is the true content of this assessment!" After getting the Patriarch's explanation, they finally understood the true meaning of this assessment.
"Patriarch, if all of us took the initiative to challenge Bai Zhengqi, would everyone be able to pass the assessment?" Someone suddenly thought of something and asked.
"That's right. This assessment itself doesn't need to reduce the number of people. As long as you guys dared to challenge Bai Zhengqi, you guys would be able to pass this round of assessment. As for the actual elimination, it will be in the third round," Cheng Yu explained.
"So you're saying that we have all missed the opportunity?" Someone regretted.
"Patriarch, can you explain to us why this is happening?" Many of them were unwilling to accept this.
It wasn't that many of them didn't want to go up, but they didn't want to go up at this time.
However, they never expected that they would lose their chance before they could even get on the stage.
If they could advance as long as they went on stage, why would they need to think so much? Wouldn't it be fine if they just went on stage?
Most importantly, they felt that such an assessment was too meaningless. In any case, it was not a test of strength. As long as one entered the arena, they would be able to pass. So what was the point of such an assessment?
"The first round of assessment tests your talent, perseverance, and hard work. One year wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. Perhaps there isn't much of a difference between you all, but as you all can see, there are still some people who are ahead.
Therefore, those who could cultivate to the fourth level of the cultivation technique were either more talented, more determined, or more hardworking.
The second round tests your courage and character. I know why you are unwilling to take the initiative to fight. There are only two reasons.
First, he knew that the gap between his strength and Bai Zhengqi's was too great. Even if he went up, he wouldn't be able to defeat Bai Zhengqi. Therefore, whether he went up or not was meaningless.
However, this was just a competition. It didn't matter even if he lost. Under such circumstances, he wouldn't even have the courage to fight against his opponent.
Then, if you were to face an enemy stronger than you, would you plan to protect the Cheng Family or abandon the Cheng Family?
Perhaps only you know the answer in your heart. However, I didn't see your courage and courage here. I also didn't see what I wanted to see from you.
As for the others, they obviously had the strength to fight against Bai Zhengqi, but they didn't choose to go up. It was because these people were too smart. Smart people liked to play tricks.
Too scheming, too deep. Not the kind of person I want. At least, I don't like my direct disciples to play tricks in front of me every day.
Of course, there might be some among you for other reasons. However, I don't need to understand.
Because no matter what kind of considerations you have, at least you didn't meet my requirements. Therefore, you have been eliminated. Regarding this explanation, do you understand now? "Cheng Yu looked at these people and said.
"Understood!" Everyone was dispirited. Their faces were filled with disappointment and regret.
The Patriarch's explanation was already very clear. They finally understood the Patriarch's thoughts.
It had to be said that most of their thoughts had been seen through by the Patriarch.
Especially those who planned to let others fight for them. They felt that their thoughts were shameful.
"Since you have already understood, do you accept this result?" Cheng Yu asked.
Of course, he could see that everyone was regretting in their hearts. However, reality was cruel.
Furthermore, he didn't like people playing tricks in front of him. Therefore, if he really wanted to recruit a direct disciple, he would definitely not accept such a disciple.
"Accept!" Everyone still replied dispiritedly.
To be honest, if it was from their heart, how could they accept such a result?
Originally, they had worked hard for a year. Now, they were filled with anticipation. It was all to become the direct disciple of the Patriarch.
However, they didn't expect that after preparing for so long, it would end in such a way. How could they be willing to accept it?
However, the Patriarch had already said it like this. Even if they were unwilling, what else could they do?
Could it be that the Patriarch would change his mind for them? It was obviously impossible. Therefore, they could only accept it even if they didn't want to.
"Louder!" Cheng Yu said calmly.
"Accept!" Everyone's heart tightened as they shouted.
The shouts shook the sky. It was as if they wanted to vent out all the unwillingness in their hearts.
"Ye Wen and Sun Qiao, follow me. The rest wait here!" Cheng Yu said to Ye Wen and Sun Qiao.
"Yes!" Until now, Ye Wen and Sun Qiao still couldn't believe that all of this was real.
They had all lost to Bai Zhengqi. However, they had never thought that they would be able to pass the second round of assessment.
This happiness had come too quickly. It was like a dream. It was so unreal.
However, when they saw the Patriarch leading the way, they knew that everything was real.
Their hearts were very excited. However, at the same time, they were very nervous and worried. Because they knew that they were about to enter the third round of assessment.
Although they knew what the third round of assessment was, they knew that it would definitely be very difficult.
Because the Patriarch had said that the second round of assessment wasn't to reduce the number of people. The third round of assessment was.
When the others saw Ye Wen and Sun Qiao following Cheng Yu, they felt envious and helpless.
"I feel that this is too unfair. Our strength is obviously stronger than them. In the end, we were eliminated just like that!" After the Patriarch left, some people started to complain.
"Unfair? However, the Patriarch has already said that the purpose of the second round of assessment is to test our strength. Furthermore, all of us originally had a chance to pass the assessment. It was because we were too selfish that we lost such a good opportunity in the end. " Some people didn't feel that what the Patriarch had done was wrong. The biggest problem was still themselves.
If they weren't so selfish, they would have been able to pass the assessment.
"That's right. Previously, the Patriarch had reminded us a few times if anyone was willing to go up. It was us who thought that the Patriarch would use other methods to compete. For example, drawing lots. That's why we missed the assessment. Can you blame everything on the Patriarch? "
Although almost everyone was unhappy, some of them were more clear-headed and wiser.
Perhaps, the Patriarch's words had enlightened them. At least they didn't blame everything on the Patriarch.
"That's right. Previously, we had been mocking Sun Qiao. We felt that it was shameful to lose. But what's the truth? In the Patriarch's eyes, we are the most laughable ones. Because as long as we dared to go up, it meant that we had passed the assessment.
If you really feel that it's unfair, why didn't you go up when the Patriarch asked us to? You missed it. Could it be that you want to blame the Patriarch? "Some people retorted.
Although they weren't able to become the Patriarch's direct disciple, it didn't affect the Patriarch's position in their hearts.
"I know that this matter can't be blamed on the Patriarch. If only Ye Wen had passed the assessment, I could still accept it. But that Sun Qiao, he was so weak. How could he pass the assessment? I feel that it's unfair! "That person also knew that he had said something wrong. However, he still wanted to defend himself.
"That's because he fought for it. Although he was suspected to be picking up scraps, at least he went up. Even if you are stronger than Sun Qiao, you didn't even dare to go up. What else is there to say? "Some people who weren't qualified to participate in this round of assessment said.
In any case, they weren't qualified to participate in the second round of assessment. Therefore, they felt quite comfortable when they saw that everyone had been eliminated.
They were especially satisfied when they saw that so many people were dissatisfied.
"What's there to be angry about? So what if the two of them passed the second round of assessment? Didn't you hear what the Patriarch said? The third round of assessment is to eliminate people. Do you think that Sun Qiao was lucky enough to pass the second round? Do you think he can still pass the third round?
