Going Astray
This time, many Martial Emperors finally nodded in agreement with Old Lu's words. Those Martial Emperors who didn't nod were still a bit worried about Ye Fei's identity as a person abandoned by the heavens.
However, Ye Fei's performance in the ranking battle was remarkable. His use of telekinesis at the end had even amazed them. They couldn't find a reason to stop the Sacred Institute from nurturing Ye Fei with all their might.
The most excited one was still Old Lu. "I was the one who discovered Ye Fei's talent first. According to the rules, this disciple should be my disciple. You old fellows can't snatch him from me."
"Haha, Junior Brother Lu, what are you saying? Since you value Ye Fei so much, of course we won't fight with you over him." The Martial Emperors present all laughed.
However, before Old Lu could step forward to recruit Ye Fei, a long voice rang out. Suddenly, a long sigh could be heard coming from the main hall. "Wait, Ye Fei cannot become a disciple of any Martial Emperor. The Holy Institute will not spare any effort to nurture him."
The Martial Emperors in the hall were all shocked.
Old Lu stood up emotionally. He faced the sky and argued, "Third Dean, if you don't want us to accept Ye Fei as a disciple, we can comply. However, why don't you let the Sacred Institute nurture Ye Fei with all their might? It's true that Ye Fei was abandoned by the heavens, but his comprehension is so strong. Can you find another person in the Sacred Institute who can match him?"
The sigh in the sky became even louder. Then, an old man in a sacred robe walked out of the sky. He was the Third Dean of the Sacred Institute of True Martial Sacred Institute. At the same time, he was also one of the few remaining Quasi-emperors of the Sacred Institute. However, this Quasi-emperor was already very old.
"Everyone, I know you will doubt my decision. Even I found it very difficult to make this decision. However, there's no other way. Ye Fei's comprehension of martial arts is comparable to that of the Divine Martial Sacred Institute and the girl from the Lu Clan in the Four Great Sacred Institutes."
Hearing this, Elder Lu was even more perplexed. He immediately asked, "Third Principal, since you are certain of Ye Fei's talent, why don't you value him? Is it because he has been abandoned by the heavens?"
The other Martial Emperors also looked at the Third Headmaster with puzzled expressions. However, no one said anything. They knew that the Third Headmaster must have his reasons for making such a decision.
Faced with Elder Lu's doubts, the third dean suddenly revealed an expression of great regret and had the excited Elder Lu sit back down. "Don't you find it strange? Ye Fei doesn't have a special bloodline and is a person abandoned by the heavens. Why is it that the combat strength he displayed was stronger than many bloodline martial practitioners?"
"Dean, do you suspect that there's something wrong with Ye Fei's identity?" a coarse Martial Emperor suddenly asked with a murderous look on his face.
The Third Dean waved his hand and said, "It's not his identity, it's his strength. The martial path that this kid has chosen is the path of despair! Not to mention our Holy Academy, even those quasi-Emperor Noble Clans would not dare to nurture him. "
"What? The path of despair?"
Elder Lu was shocked.
The other Martial Emperors also stood up in disbelief. Of course they knew about the path of despair. It was the strongest path that had been passed down since ancient times. However, it was also because it was the strongest that this path was incomparably difficult. Since ancient times, countless geniuses had fallen on this path.
As time passed, the ancient Martial Gods unanimously concluded that the path of despair was simply a path of death that could not be walked. There were even some sages who suspected that this path was a lie fabricated by a certain race with ulterior motives.
It was all for the sake of having the strongest geniuses of the human race fall one after another on this path of despair to achieve the goal of weakening the human race.
When the Third Dean said this, all the Martial Emperors present fell silent.
Even Elder Lu did not utter a word. Instead, his face was filled with regret and helplessness. "This Ye Fei has gone astray. He could have chosen any martial path, but he just had to choose the path of death that is destined to lead to despair!"
"It's a pity for this kid. In ancient times, there were countless descendants of Martial Gods and Martial Emperors who were ten times or a hundred times more talented than Ye Fei. However, they all failed in the end and all died on this path. Moreover, he was a person abandoned by the heavens …"
"This kid really dug his own grave! If he was only a person abandoned by the heavens, as long as he displayed reliable talent, we could still work together and forcefully push him to the Martial Emperor realm. Unfortunately, he actually chose the path of despair. "
"What a pity, what a pity! This kid was born with a deficiency. Now that he has not gone astray, not to mention that the Holy Academy is unable to nurture him, even if the entire Central Continent was his backing, he would still not be able to walk this path of death. "
"The end of despair is death! The Holy Academy cannot place its hopes on a dead person. "The Third Dean closed his eyes. In the end, he still made what he thought was the most rational decision.
The most disappointed person was still Elder Lu. He had long wanted to accept Ye Fei as his personal disciple and had made many preparations for this. However, after knowing that Ye Fei had chosen the path of despair, Elder Lu still hesitated. Then, he let out a long sigh. "It seems that we can only give up. However, Third Dean, please don't tell Ye Fei that the Holy Academy has already given up on him. It was not easy for this kid to reach where he is today as a person abandoned by the heavens."
This request was not excessive. The Third Dean nodded and said, "Sure. Although Ye Fei has gone astray, he joined the Holy Academy as the first on the Heaven Ranking. We cannot disappoint him. How about this, Ye Fei's treatment in the Holy Academy will not change. However, no Martial Emperor is allowed to accept him as a disciple, let alone allow him to become a Heaven Rank disciple!"
According to the rules of the Holy Academy, once a Heaven Rank disciple became a Heaven Rank disciple, the Holy Academy would do its best to train him. Of course, the Third Dean also felt that this decision was too cruel to Ye Fei.
After thinking for a while, he ordered, "The Holy Academy cannot train Ye Fei, but I can make up for it. How about this, pass down the order that the top ten of the ranking battle can enter the True Martial Immortal Palace to cultivate for a year. As for what they can comprehend in a year, it will depend on their own luck."
After saying this, the Third Dean's figure slowly disappeared in the void. All the Martial Emperors present, including Elder Lu, disappeared from the main hall.
This surprised many disciples who were waiting for the Martial Emperors to announce the result of the battle.
Ye Fei was also a bit confused. "What's going on? Didn't the True Martial Handbook say that after the ranking battle, a Martial Emperor will appear and announce the ranking? Did I come too late and the Holy Academy doesn't want to admit that I'm the first in the Earth Rank? "
"How dare they! I've bet a lot on you. If they don't let you be the first, I'll tear down their Martial Imperial Palace. "
As he spoke, Shangluo took out a treasure from his body. It was a complete Sovereign Weapon. Ye Fei's eyelids twitched violently. He quickly moved away from this dangerous person.
Zhou Xiaoyu and Mentor Jian were also embarrassed. They hurriedly pretended that they didn't understand what Shangluo was saying. Then they discussed it with each other for a while.
Mentor Jian, who was still the judge, walked into the sky and said to the disciples in a dignified manner, "Unfortunately, the Martial Emperors are busy and can't show up. Now, I'll announce the final ranking of the ranking battle. The first place is Ye Fei. He will be rewarded with 500,000 contribution points."
Boom!
As soon as the reward was announced, many disciples looked at Ye Fei with envy. 500,000 contribution points were equivalent to 5 billion Upper Level Spirit Stones.
However, when he thought that he had been cheated of 2 billion Upper Level Spirit Stones by Shangluo's elixir, Ye Fei felt very depressed. However, since the Martial Emperors didn't appear, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Fei was a smart person. Of course, he could tell that Elder Lu intended to take him in as a disciple. However, he was helpless. He had already taken the Demon Monarch as his master. If Elder Lu mentioned it again, he really didn't know how to respond.
