Chapter 2588: Ice Flame Continent 45
Editor: Henyee Translations
Only then did she finally calm down.
Kang Yan’s attention shifted away from Ziluo. Regardless of what happened to her, the oute would change after the petition—it was an entirely different scenario.
Post-petition, Kang Shi would be expelled from the clan, falling under their control. Regardless of Ziluo’s actions, she would be powerless. Moreover, once their father assumed the position of the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race, it signified that the Anicca Race was now under their dominion. They would no longer be subservient to the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race. Naturally, Ziluo wouldn’t mand as much respect from them, and if she erred, they would simply impose punishment.
Kang Yan ceased his arguments with Ziluo, and gradually, Ziluo lost the inclination to continue.
Her thoughts also gravitated towards Kang Shi.
Kang Shi had rejected her earlier proposition.
Yet, he wasn’t in dire straits yet. When he found himself in such a predicament, he wouldn’t maintain the same posure. When she reappeared, she would offer him a promise, affirming that her feelings hadn’t wavered. By then, she expected him to be grateful and willingly serve her.
Both Ziluo and Kang Yan harbored their own contemplations, leading to a period of silence between them.
They patiently awaited the day of the petition.
The atmosphere in the clan was vibrant.
It was a rare sight to witness Kang Shi emerge and make his way to the petition hall.
On this occasion, he wasn’t entirely subjected to ridicule. Instead, some individuals sought to befriend him, offering polite greetings along the way.
However, he remained wary, treating these greetings merely as superficial exchanges.
Gu Chaoyan also arrived at the venue.
She stood outside, observing the scene within the petition hall.
The petition in the Anicca Clan differed from the clan petitions Gu Chaoyan had encountered in the past. It wasn’t a team-based martial arts petition in the arena.
This petition was more akin to the monitoring of disciples’ spiritual roots when they entered a sect, although in the Anicca Race, it wasn’t a test of spiritual roots but rather of cultivation levels.
There were two criteria:
Firstly, participants had to meet a specific minimum cultivation standard.
Secondly, their cultivation had to show improvement every year. The degree of improvement wasn’t strictly defined, as long as there was progress.
Kang Shi already met the standard set for clan disciples. However, the only reason he might be selected was that his cultivation hadn’t improved in the past few years. Two years ago, he still had a chance, but if he didn’t show improvement this year, he would lose that opportunity. He would then need to seek opportunities outside the clan.
Gu Chaoyan stood at the entrance of the court, surrounded by onlookers. Many gazes lingered on Kang Shi, each viewer harboring different thoughts.
Some, like Kang Yan and Ziluo, eagerly awaited Kang Shi’s departure. These individuals had already taken sides.
On the other hand, there were those who hoped for Kang Shi to stay. These were clan disciples who hadn’t aligned themselves with any faction. They were considering the practical aspect – Kang Shi’s medicinal pills were valuable to them. Having a consistent supplier of medicinal pills would facilitate continuous breakthroughs in their cultivation.
As they grew stronger, obtaining what they desired in the future would bee much easier.
The individuals of the Anicca Clan harbored their own thoughts.
Gu Chaoyan didn’t linger for long and entered the premises.
Wherever she moved, conversations ensued.
As the discussions subsided,
