When Su Mo and Long Teng arrived at the Grand Elder's room, the Grand Elder was not alone. Long Shuang Shuang, Long Yu, Long Yi, and the rest were there.
Including Su Mo and Long Teng, the ten participants of the Thousand Selection Battle were all gathered in the Grand Elder's room.
The cultivation ranks of the ten were different. Some were Lower Grade 5 while others were Upper Grade 9. However, this was not important. In the Thousand Selection Battle, everyone's cultivation ranks were the same.
"Greetings to the Grand Elder!"
Su Mo walked into the room and bowed to the Grand Elder who was standing in the middle of the room.
At this moment, everyone was standing in the room, surrounding the Great Elder. Clearly, they were all waiting for the Great Elder's instructions.
"Mm, Su Mo, it seems that the Chaotic Chalcedony is a good fortune for you!" The Grand Elder looked at Su Mo and nodded, satisfied.
He naturally knew that Su Mo had obtained the Chaotic Chalcedony and his cultivation had broken through. Furthermore, he had broken through several realms and reached Middle Rank 5.
Long Shuang Shuang, Long Yu, and the rest all had different expressions on their faces. Although they knew that it was the Dragon Tribe's fortune that Su Mo could participate in the Thousand Selection Battle, they could not help but feel envious and jealous of him.
"Elder, you are too kind!" Su Mo said humbly.
"Anyway, it is good that you can participate!"
The Grand Elder nodded and looked around at the crowd. He said, "All of you are clear about the rules of the Thousand Selection Battle. The second round depends on one's ability while the first round depends on the right time, place, and people. What I want to say is that in the first round tomorrow, Su Mo will be the leader. All of you have to help him."
"What?"
"Su Mo will be the leader?"
"This … Grand Elder, isn't this a little inappropriate?"
Hearing this, a few people spoke up. Although Su Mo was the most talented, there was no need for him to be the leader.
One had to know that when the time came, everyone would be Rank 1 True Gods. Although Su Mo's combat strength was strong, he might not be as powerful as Long Yi and the other Rank 9 Martial Artists.
Talent was not enough to make up for the difference in their foundation.
Long Yi, who was an Upper Grade 9 Martial Artist, was strong in all aspects. Even if her cultivation was suppressed to Lower Grade 1 True God Realm, her combat strength was definitely ten times that of an ordinary Lower Grade 1 Martial Artist.
Everyone originally thought that Long Yi or Long Teng would be the leader. Of the two, one had the highest cultivation, and the other was the Dragon race's Sky Dome Ancestral Dragon. They were of noble status, and either one of them could take on such a great responsibility.
However, the First Elder wanted Su Mo to be the leader.
"Su Mo is the most suitable candidate." The First Elder said solemnly. Originally, he had wanted Long Teng to be the leader. However, Long Teng had suggested that Su Mo be the leader.
Su Mo was indeed better than Long Teng in all aspects.
"First Elder, I think that Long Teng is still the best leader!" the tall and skinny Long Yi, who was dressed in purple, said expressionlessly.
He didn't feel good in his heart. After all, letting someone else be the leader meant that he might have to give up.
For example, if he and Su Mo were not on the same side, then he could only try his best to let Su Mo win and himself fail.
Therefore, he did not agree with the First Elder's decision. He was more suitable than Su Mo in all aspects.
Of course, he knew the First Elder's personality, so he did not recommend himself. Instead, he said that Long Teng was the most suitable candidate.
After all, Long Teng's talent was unquestionable. Moreover, he was the Ancestral Dragon and the First Elder was more willing to let Long Teng be the leader.
"First Elder, I think that Long Teng and Brother Long Yi are both suitable!" the handsome Long Yu, who was dressed in a white robe, said. He also did not agree with letting Su Mo be the leader.
After all, Su Mo was an outsider and not a true member of the Dragon Tribe. How could they let an outsider be the leader of a large group of Dragon Tribe geniuses?
Seeing this, Su Mo frowned. However, he could not ask for anything. Regardless of whether the geniuses of the Dragon Tribe saw him as the leader or not, he would fight for the final victory.
"My decision cannot be changed!"
The First Elder looked indifferent as he looked at the crowd and continued, "First, let Su Mo be the leader. If Su Mo's luck is not good and he does not have the right time, place, and people, then act according to the circumstances. Try your best to let Long Teng and Long Yi win the first round."
"Yes!" The crowd nodded helplessly. The First Elder had made up his mind and they did not dare to say another word.
However, the First Elder's arrangement was reasonable. If Su Mo's luck was not good, they would naturally have to give up on Su Mo.
"Su Mo, do you understand?" The First Elder looked at Su Mo and asked solemnly. His meaning was clear. He was warning Su Mo to give up on himself and help the other Dragon Tribe geniuses if things did not go well.
"Understood!" Su Mo nodded. He did not need the First Elder to tell him to know what to do.
If he was unlucky, he would definitely lose. He would do his best to help Long Teng. As for Long Yi, he did not have high hopes for her.
"Alright, for the first round, Battle of the Nine Cities, you have to be careful. Every camp is a mix of good and bad people. You cannot completely trust the people in the same camp." The First Elder said in a clear voice. The key to this round was the human heart. If one could not understand everything, no matter how strong one was, he would definitely lose.
"Understood!" The crowd nodded.
"The first round will depend on the will of the heavens. If any of you can win in the first round, then the second round will depend on your strength!"
The First Elder's eyes lit up as he looked at the crowd and continued, "The second round is to obtain the token of the Tenth City. Stand out among the 100 people in the same camp and obtain the final victory."
"First Elder, what is the token?" Su Mo asked.
"The token is just an ordinary item. It is just a proof. When you reach Shen Kun Small World, you will naturally see it." The First Elder said.
"Mm!" Su Mo nodded. He was enlightened. The token was just a proof. It did not matter what it was.
"Alright, it is getting late. Let's go to Shen Kun Small World!" The First Elder said in a clear voice. With that, he strode out of the room.
With that, the crowd followed behind the First Elder and walked out of the room.
"Su Mo, if you are unlucky, remember to give up!" Long Yi walked beside Su Mo and said flatly.
He was worried that if Su Mo became the leader, he would get carried away and hope that everyone would help him.
Su Mo glanced at Long Yi and ignored him. Even if he was unlucky, he would not be easily defeated.
Long Yi frowned when he saw that Su Mo had ignored him. He was a little angry, but he did not flare up.
If all the Dragon Tribesmen were defeated because of Su Mo, Su Mo would not be able to escape the tribe's punishment.
In the palace, the Second Elder, Long Bo, Si Kongyan, Chi 'er, and nearly 100 other Dragon Tribesmen were already waiting in the palace.
After Su Mo and the rest arrived, the two parties met up. Without saying a word, they left the palace and headed for Shen Kun Small World.
