If it was in the past when such an outstanding disciple appeared in the Netherworld, all the sect masters would definitely be jealous. But this year, they would no longer think so.
Because they knew that the more outstanding the disciple was, the more likely he would be chosen by Cheng Yu.
Therefore, when they saw Cheng Yu praising You Chang, not only did they not feel any bit of envy, but when they saw You Chang's awkward expression, they were rejoicing in his misfortune.
Especially those sect masters, they wished that this Netherworld Sect disciple would be chosen by Cheng Yu. If that were to happen, You Chang would definitely be angered.
"Sect Master, this disciple of Netherworld Sect Master is indeed very outstanding. To begin with, Golden Core Stage disciples are no match for Nascent Soul Stage disciples. However, this disciple of the Youchang Sect not only defeated the Family Head's Nascent Soul Stage disciple with the strength of a Golden Core Stage disciple, he even won with an overwhelming advantage. Such a talent is definitely on the level of a genius. This is too rare. "Daoist Xuan Zhen from Shushan Sect also opened his mouth to praise.
However, when Daoist Xuan Zhen opened his mouth, Netherworld Sect Master's complexion turned even uglier.
Everyone knew that Daoist Xuan Zhen was trying to tell Cheng Yu that this Netherworld Sect disciple was very outstanding and was very suitable to be chosen by him. Therefore, he hoped that Cheng Yu would be able to choose this disciple.
However, they didn't say anything. After all, Netherworld Sect's strength was still very strong. Regardless of whether they were a demonic sect or not, they didn't wish to offend such a strong sect.
"Sect Master Xuan Zhen is too modest. My Netherworld Sect had only produced such a talent in a hundred years. How can we be compared to Shushan Sect?
Shushan Sect had a long history and deep foundation. There were countless of geniuses in the sect. I believe that the number of such geniuses would be uncountable.
Just look at the competition at Azure Cloud Peak. Didn't your Shushan Golden Core disciple defeat a Nascent Soul Realm disciple?
And now, the competition has only started for two days. I believe that in the upcoming competition, Shushan Sect will still have a large number of extremely strong genius disciples. I am also very much looking forward to it! " You Chang saw that Daoist Xuan Zhen was purposely raising his status. His motive was self-evident. However, he didn't show any weakness as he rebutted Daoist Xuan Zhen.
You Chang's rebuttal could be said to be perfect. Not only did he absolve his disciple, he had also raised Shushan Sect even higher.
More importantly, this time around, Daoist Xuan Zhen had a bellyful of grievances because he had indeed sent out quite a number of outstanding disciples.
Just because a Jindan Stage disciple of his Shushan Sect defeated a Nascent Soul Stage disciple, he wanted to raise the Netherworld Sect's prestige even more.
Although his disciple was indeed very outstanding, he was still lacking when compared to this disciple from the Netherworld Sect.
But even so, this disciple of his was still very likely to be chosen by Cheng Yu. After all, he was able to defeat a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator as a Golden Core Stage cultivator.
If he wasn't outstanding enough, how could he defeat an opponent of a higher level with a lower level?
Therefore, when he saw the battle just now, although his disciple had won, his complexion was not good at all. He was worried that Cheng Yu would snatch his disciple away.
Now that he saw that an even more outstanding disciple had appeared in the Netherworld Sect, he was overjoyed.
With such an outstanding comparison, his heart felt a little more comfortable. Naturally, he wanted to raise the strength and position of the Netherworld Sect's disciple. This way, his disciple might not be chosen by Cheng Yu.
You Chang's counterattack also caused all the sect masters present to laugh in their heart. Everyone was very clear of what the both of them were thinking.
At this very moment, they couldn't help but rejoice that their sect did not have such a genius. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome for them.
After all, it was not an easy thing for any sect to have such an outstanding disciple appear. It was not something that could be solved with just a lot of resources.
Talent decided everything. Without talent, no amount of resources would be able to achieve it.
If it was in the past, when such a disciple appeared in their sect, they would definitely be happy.
But now, such a talented disciple had appeared. Yet, he was going to become a gift for the Cheng Family. This naturally caused all the sect masters to be unwilling.
Therefore, when they saw Daoist Xuan Zhen and You Chang raising each other's position and strength in order to keep their disciple, it was truly laughable.
"Both sect masters don't need to quarrel or be modest. To be able to see both sect masters producing so many outstanding disciples, you should be happy.
The continuous appearance of geniuses in the sect represented the prosperity of the sect. Presumably, all these years, both sect masters had put in a lot of effort for the development of the sect. Only then was the sect able to have the current prosperity.
As a sect master, what else could make you more happy than this? "Cheng Yu wasn't stupid. Of course, he knew what the both of them were fighting about.
However, even if he knew, he wouldn't say it out loud.
"What Patriarch said is right. We are indeed very happy!" Both of them grinned awkwardly. That expression of theirs was as bitter as it could be.
If it wasn't because of Cheng Yu's words, they would naturally be happy that their sect had produced such a genius.
But now, they knew that the Cheng Family might possibly take away such outstanding genius disciples. If they were still able to be happy, it would be a miracle.
However, as long as Cheng Yu didn't specify anything, it meant that they still had a chance to protect these disciples.
They were all thinking that after the end of today's competition, they would tell their disciples to keep a low profile in the later competitions and not perform too well.
Since they couldn't perform too outstanding, it would be best if they could win the grand prize.
If it really wasn't possible, even if they were to lose, it wouldn't matter. At least it would be better than the geniuses that they had painstakingly nurtured being taken away by the Cheng Family.
"The two disciples of your sects are very outstanding. If I'm not mistaken, they will bring us even more surprises in the future.
However, I don't wish for anyone to affect their emotions. I want everyone to be able to witness even more spectacular performances from them, "Cheng Yu seemed to have seen through their thoughts as he spoke.
"Patriarch, please be reassured. I will let him rest well and try his best to display his best strength." Hearing what Cheng Yu said, You Chang's complexion immediately turned bitter. He knew that the thoughts in his heart had been completely seen through by Cheng Yu.
If he were to instruct his disciple again, it would definitely be seen through by Cheng Yu.
"Patriarch, I will also instruct my disciple properly. Let him use his best condition to deal with the upcoming competition," Daoist Xuan Zhen's complexion was also very unsightly. However, he had no other choice.
Cheng Yu had already spoken up to this point. The only thing he lacked was to directly point out his name, telling him not to play any tricks in the dark.
"There's no need to instruct them. The more you instruct them, the more pressure they will be under. You only need to arrange for them to rest well. You don't have to bother about anything else," Cheng Yu replied.
"Yes!" Both of them were helpless. Naturally, they could only do as Cheng Yu said.
Cheng Yu's words indicated that he had already taken a fancy to these two disciples. It also indicated that these two disciples might possibly be chosen by Cheng Yu. Even if they wished to change it, they wouldn't be able to change anything.
When the others saw this, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Cheng Yu had already taken a fancy to two disciples. Presumably, the chances of these two disciples being chosen was very high.
Previously, Cheng Yu had already said that this time, there wouldn't be a lot of people who would be chosen by him.
Since there were already two candidates, there might be two less disciples being chosen later on.
You Chang and Daoist Xuan Zhen looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with unhappiness.
Obviously, they were blaming each other for being too talkative. This time, both of their disciples had been chosen by Cheng Yu. None of them would be able to escape.
"I hope to see the true strength of all the participants in this competition. Therefore, not only these two disciples, but every single disciple should be influenced by some impure motives.
If I were to find out that someone was intentionally throwing the match, affecting the standard of the entire competition, I can tell you for sure that your losses will be much greater than what you can imagine. " Cheng Yu didn't only remind You Chang and Daoist Xuan Zhen. Instead, he spoke to the rest of the sect masters.
Naturally, he understood that these people had always been worried that their disciples would be chosen by him. However, they would never understand that even if these disciples were chosen by him, it was almost impossible for them to be chosen by him.
Because he believed that even if these sects truly had descendants from the Holy City, he reckoned it would only be a few of them. It was impossible for there to be a group of them.
Doing this was equivalent to searching for a needle in a haystack. However, he still wished to give it a try. What if he really managed to find it?
Therefore, he would never allow anyone to spoil his plan.
The two disciples from Netherworld Sect and Shushan Sect had already displayed their strength. Even if their performance wasn't good, they could still bring these two disciples to give it a try.
However, if it was because of these two disciples, these people were to prevent their disciples from displaying their full strength, then his plan would be meaningless.
Therefore, regarding this matter, he could no longer give any hints. He had to make it clear.
Otherwise, these people would definitely spoil his plan in order to keep their disciples.
Because of this sentence from Cheng Yu, it caused the group of sect masters behind him to be in a bad mood for the entire day.
It was especially so for those sect masters who had outstanding disciples. Their heart was in a state of turmoil. When they saw their outstanding disciples competing against each other, their heart was filled with sweat.
They were afraid that their performance would be too outstanding. In the end, they would be chosen by Cheng Yu. If that were to happen, it would be a huge loss.
Obviously, the grand prize of the competition was no longer able to attract them. They could only hope that after the competition ended, their outstanding disciples would still be able to follow them back.
