Final decision
Yingtian Academy's main hall.
In the spacious room, more than a dozen people were gathered. They sat in front of the square table according to their status.
The two people at the top were the Purple Wind Martial Ancestor and an old lady. As for the others, they were arranged on both sides of the square table. Since the old lady was able to stand side by side with the Purple Wind Martial Ancestor, she was obviously another ancestor of the academy, the Sky Shadow Martial Ancestor.
Elder Lin was also among the people seated at the back. Moreover, he was seated at the very back. These people were obviously King level powerhouses.
There were two Zong Realm experts and more than ten King Realm experts. All the higher-ups of the Yingtian Academy had basically gathered here.
The group of King level powerhouses had some doubts on their faces. Generally speaking, there wouldn't be such a grand occasion unless there was a major incident that could shake the foundation of the Yingtian Academy. Could it be that something had really happened to the academy?
"Everyone is here. Junior Brother Lin, tell us about this matter." The Purple Wind Martial Master raised his eyebrows and said slowly.
"Yes!" Elder Lin responded and stood up. "This time, the Patriarch has gathered everyone to discuss the reward for the first place in the Heavenly Court."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people looked at each other in dismay. Since when did the reward for first place in the Heavenly Court need to be decided by people like them?
However, due to the power of the two Zong Realm masters, no one dared to interrupt. They just waited quietly.
"Everyone, there's no need to be puzzled. Normally, there's no need to gather all the experts above the King Stage in the academy for the Grand Tournament. However, the situation this time is a little special. Gu Xuan just entered the academy this year. He's only 16 years old, but he's already ranked first in the Heavenly Court. Moreover, he's only at the Eight Star Profound Stage," Elder Lin continued.
"If that was all, it wouldn't amount to much. However, when Gu Xuan made his request to the academy, he only requested the opportunity to refine the Evil Spirit True Flame."
After hearing Gu Xuan's request, many of the King level experts laughed. Gu Xuan's talent was already worthy of their attention. It was comparable to Zhou Juechu, who did not have a fortuitous encounter back then.
However, this request was really too small, so small that even they felt a little apologetic.
In that case, it was obvious at this meeting whether to give Gu Xuan additional compensation.
A King class expert said indifferently, "It's just a few hundred thousand treasure points. The sect is in charge of several dynasties. Although the Great Desolation Dynasty has many talents, it is still the smallest one. The other dynasties pay billions of spirit crystals as tribute every year. Why would they care about a few hundred thousand treasure points? Give him two hundred thousand treasure points."
Every year, a county city could generate tens of millions of gold coins in profit, half of which had to be handed over to the Ying Tian Sect. The Great Desolate Dynasty had 3590 counties, while the other dynasties had more than 10,000 counties. The wealth of the Ying Tian Sect had reached a shocking level. A few hundred thousand treasure points was an astronomical figure to the students, but to the Ying Tian Sect, it was just a drop in the ocean.
"That's inappropriate." Another King level expert shook his head. "Although the sect will not care about such a small amount of treasure points, we have set a precedent this time. Every year, a Xuan grade student only has one chance to make a request, so this amount of treasure points is nothing. However, a Supreme grade student's reward is much more. If we set a precedent, others will feel that they have lost out. What if they want compensation?"
"Old Chen is right. It's not about a few hundred thousand treasure points. It's about setting a precedent. Although Gu Xuan is worth nurturing, there are too many people who are worth nurturing. If all of them are like this, then the rules of the academy will be abolished. This time, we'll agree to his request first. If he performs well in the future, we'll just give him more," another person said.
Hearing the discussion below, the Sky Shadow Martial Master frowned. She seemed to have heard the name "Gu Xuan" from somewhere, but she did not seem to have a deep impression of it.
In fact, she had opposed Gu Xuan's relationship with Liu Yue 'er before because she did not know much about Gu Xuan. She knew that Liu Yue' er was special, so she did not care about a person with ordinary talent. She did not even care about the monstrous geniuses of the Ying Tian Sect.
"Enough!" Waving her hand, the Purple Wind Martial Master suppressed the discussion. She slowly said, "Gu Xuan's situation is actually very special. I've decided to make an exception for him. However, I will not give him another treasure. Instead, I will add some conditions to his request."
Many King level experts looked at each other. They did not understand. According to Gu Xuan's performance, just this reward was a little too unjust. It was fine if there was no compensation, but why was she not willing to give Gu Xuan such a nearly useless reward?
Could it be that the Old Ancestor had already seen that although Gu Xuan's performance was good, his actual potential was ordinary?
The Sky Shadow Martial Master also looked over, but she did not say anything. She knew her old partner very well. There were some things that he would either not do, or he would do it for a good reason.
"If Gu Xuan can break through to the Monarch level within half a year, and before that, he can enter the core area of the Flame Beast Mountain Range and kill a hundred Level 3 Flame Beasts with his own hands. Then, I will give him the Evil Spirit True Fire!" The Purple Wind Martial Master's eyes flashed with a trace of determination.
Elder Lin opened his mouth. Clearly, he felt that the Purple Wind Martial Master's words were somewhat unbelievable. Gu Xuan had such high potential. Just asking for the chance to refine the Evil Spirit True Fire was already very exaggerated. However, the Purple Wind Martial Master actually added some additional conditions. This was really …
"Old Ancestor, you see …" Elder Lin's face was full of hesitation. Even he felt a little embarrassed to tell Gu Xuan about this.
"I have already decided. You go and tell Gu Xuan." The Purple Wind Martial Master waved her hand and said.
"Yes!" Elder Lin nodded helplessly. He could already imagine Gu Xuan's angry face after hearing this news. "What a pitiful little guy …"
The Purple Wind Martial Master let out a long sigh of relief and closed his eyes as he lay on the chair.
If it was someone else who made this request, he wouldn't care at all. However, Gu Xuan was different. Ever since Gu Xuan entered the academy, his performance was too mysterious. He was able to erupt with the strength of a Monarch. In just half a year, he went from a Monarch level one star to a Monarch level eight star. Moreover, he coveted the Evil Spirit True Fire.
If that was all, it would be fine. At most, Gu Xuan would have this thought. However, not long ago, when he was communicating with the Evil Spirit True Fire, the Flame Spirit actually asked him about Gu Xuan in a roundabout way. Moreover, it expressed that it was very interested in Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan was the first person that could make the Evil Spirit True Fire interested.
The Purple Wind Martial Master's intuition told him that he had given Gu Xuan a chance this time. The Evil Spirit True Fire might really be given to Gu Xuan.
