Under the Patriarch's explanation, everyone accepted these two facts. Although some people still felt uncomfortable in their hearts, what else could they do?
"A year of cultivation has come to an end. Next, all of you should prepare for the Clan Competition. I'm looking forward to the moment when all of you will shine brightly in the competition!" Cheng Yu spoke to everyone.
We will definitely not disappoint the Patriarch Everyone replied.
Although they had failed this time, the Patriarch had already given them an answer. As long as they performed well, they would still have a chance in the future.
Especially now that it was the competition, it might not be long before they would be able to fight for another chance for themselves. Therefore, everyone was looking forward to it.
Moreover, after a year of cultivation, their strength had greatly improved. It would not be difficult for them to stand out in the competition.
Since that's the case, then everyone should go back and prepare Cheng Yu said.
Yes! Everyone began to retreat from the back mountain in an orderly manner.
Master, I will go back first Bai Zhengqi stepped forward and said to Cheng Yu.
Go back and prepare for the competition Cheng Yu nodded and said.
"Disciple will not embarrass Master in this competition!" Bai Zhengqi said seriously.
Compared to before, he was even more confident now.
This was because he knew how terrifying the set of cultivation technique his master had given him was. Because he had cultivated this set of cultivation technique, his strength had suddenly increased by so much. Moreover, his current cultivation speed was much faster than before.
He believed that if his other two primordial spirits could transform into primordial spirits, allowing him to truly have three primordial spirits, his strength and cultivation speed would be able to reach three times. This was unbelievable.
Although he had suffered heavy injuries in the battle with Ye Wen yesterday, it was indeed because he had been careless. If he had not taken that attack head-on, he would definitely not have suffered such heavy injuries if he wanted to defeat Ye Wen.
Therefore, if he changed his fighting style, even if he defeated Ye Wen, he would still have some strength left.
There was still some time before the competition, so he had to make good use of this time to cultivate. His strength would increase even more, and at that time, he would naturally have more confidence in the competition.
Therefore, he was looking forward to this competition.
"En," Cheng Yu nodded.
Bai Zhengqi now had the support of the Three Dan God Fantasy Technique and the Sacred Emperor Heart Sutra. Although the two cultivation techniques had not reached a very high level, they had already begun to show results.
However, there was still some time before the competition. For the current Bai Zhengqi, this period of time was enough for him to have a huge change.
Just like him in the past, because he had the Nine Dan God Fantasy Technique, his change was even greater than the current Bai Zhengqi.
Otherwise, he would have died countless times in the hands of Kunlun.
Looking at the backs of more than 50,000 people leaving one after another, countless scenes flashed through his mind. Now that he recalled everything that had happened, his heart was filled with emotions.
"Brother Zhengqi, you really are not a good friend. The family head has already planned to take you as a direct disciple, but you still tell us that you don't. Do you not treat us as friends?" On the way back to the back mountain, Wen Ce said to Bai Zhengqi with a dissatisfied expression.
"You really can't blame me for this. Master said that before he announced it, I absolutely cannot reveal it. How could I dare to go against him?" Bai Zhengqi said helplessly.
Although he did not wish to deceive his two good friends, he had no other choice.
"You tell us, we won't tell anyone!" Wen Ce said.
"Of course I know you won't tell anyone. But I have already promised master, how can I go against it? Just like what I promised you, I have never revealed it to anyone. Could it be that you wish for me to become a person who goes back on his word? "Bai Zhengqi said seriously.
"That's right. You can't blame Brother Zhengqi. Perhaps it is because of Brother Zhengqi's persistence that you managed to gain the favor of the Master." Mu Heng said.
"Master's number one direct disciple. Tsk tsk. This title is truly awe-inspiring. I'm so envious!" Mu Heng said enviously.
During the second round of assessment, Wen Ce said that he wanted to give up. Originally, he wanted to try his luck.
However, he did not expect that he would be kicked out before he even had the chance to go on stage. This made him very disappointed. He felt that he had missed the best opportunity.
However, they also knew that it would not be so easy for them to become the Master's direct disciple. At that time, he did not care so much about this matter.
Now that he saw the Master personally announce that Bai Zhengqi was his first direct disciple, he could not help but feel envious in his heart.
He felt that if he did not miss the second round of assessment, perhaps he also had the chance to become the Master's direct disciple.
"That's why I said that it was a pity that you two missed the second round of assessment. Otherwise, at least you two still had a chance!" Bai Zhengqi also felt sorry for the two.
It was just that he did not know why the two of them did not go on stage at that time. Perhaps they wanted to see how the other people's results were first, or maybe they wanted to see where their bottom line was.
However, sometimes the opportunity was only for a moment. If they did not grasp it, there would be no more.
"Brother Zhengqi, since the Master has long planned to accept you as a direct disciple, then you must know what the third round of assessment is, right?" Wen Ce asked.
"I really don't know about this. This is the Master's assessment. How would I know?" Bai Zhengqi shook his head and said.
"Impossible, right? Didn't the Master mention it to you? You are his first direct disciple! "The two of them asked with some disbelief.
After all, Bai Zhengqi did not tell them the truth before. Now, of course, they would suspect him again.
"I'm not lying to you about this. I'm just his disciple. Why would he tell me everything? Besides, even if I also want to know, how can I casually ask about the Master's matters? "Bai Zhengqi said.
"Well, seeing that you are so sincere, we will believe you!" The two of them looked at Bai Zhengqi's expression and said.
"Brother Zhengqi, congratulations. You are now the first disciple of our Cheng Family!" After everyone left the back mountain, many people quickly gathered in front of Bai Zhengqi.
In the back mountain, they were embarrassed to show it in front of the Master. But now that the Master could not see them, everyone quickly ran over.
Bai Zhengqi was now the first direct disciple of the Master. In the future, in the Cheng Family, he would really have a meteoric rise.
Last year, when Bai Zhengqi was not selected by the Master, they did not stop hitting him when he was down. They even spoke rudely and mocked him.
Originally, when they were selected by the Master, they thought that they would first become the direct disciple of the Master. However, they did not expect that the world was really unpredictable. Among so many of them, only Ye Wen and Sun Qiao participated in the third round of assessment.
What they did not expect was that Bai Zhengqi actually magically became the direct disciple of the Master.
If they didn't try to curry favor with Bai Zhengqi now, or try to maintain their relationship, Bai Zhengqi might make things difficult for them in the future, and that would be terrible.
"Brother Zhengqi, please forgive me for offending you in the past. In the future, as long as Brother Zhengqi says the word, I will definitely not refuse."
"Everyone is too kind!" When Bai Zhengqi saw so many people surrounding him and flattering him, his heart was like a mirror.
However, he did not like this feeling.
He would not really think that they treated him as a friend just because they were trying to curry favor with him.
He also knew that these people did not want to do this, but that was the reality. In a faction, no one wanted others to make things difficult for them.
However, he only wanted to become stronger because he knew that only when he was strong would people truly respect him.
At least for now, he did not truly obtain everyone's respect. The reason why everyone was so afraid of him was because he was the Master's direct disciple.
If he did not have this identity, everyone would still treat him the same way.
Compared to these people, he cared more about his brotherhood with Wen Ce, Mu Heng, and Sun Qiao. For so many years, the three of them had always been a small team. They had also experienced many life and death situations together.
They were brothers who had gone through life and death together. How could they compare to them?
When Mu Heng and Wen Ce saw such a huge change in everyone's attitude towards Bai Zhengqi, they were extremely surprised.
They had really underestimated the identity of the Master's first direct disciple.
In the Cultivation World, it was indeed necessary to have an important identity in order to obtain more respect from others.
This was not the only thing that happened here. At this moment, many people surrounded Ye Wen and Sun Qiao.
However, they did not put Bai Zhengqi and Sun Qiao on such a high pedestal.
Although the Master had not announced the news, the two of them were the only people who had participated in the third assessment. Therefore, they still had a very high chance of becoming the Master's direct disciple.
Therefore, they had to build a good relationship with them. As the saying went, it was better to provide timely assistance than to add flowers to embroidery.
Just like Bai Zhengqi, some people had offended him before he became the Master's direct disciple. Now, they had to curry favor with him.
Wasn't it better to maintain a good relationship with Ye Wen and Sun Qiao before they became the Master's direct disciple? Of course, it was better than apologizing to them in the future.
Of course, there was another more important reason for them to approach the two of them.
"Brother Ye Wen, Brother Sun Qiao, may I know what the third assessment is about?" someone asked eagerly after some small talk.
"Yeah, tell us about it. Did your assessment go smoothly?" Everyone asked curiously.
