"Dean, I have an objection!"
A Second Grade Expert flew out from the direction of the Divine Wood Institute.
Liu Tianning’s gaze instantly turned icy, and Zhao Xing also harbored murderous intent.
The plan proposed by Lao Liu, having reached this point, had passed through countless negotiations.
Those who jump up in opposition now are basically irreconcilable conflicts.
Just like when the Emperor decrees, having already consulted many tis with nurous ministers, the court debate is rely a formality.
To openly oppose now is a slap in the face!
Xu Xing was silent for a mont, then said, "Kang Zhengxian, what objection do you have?"
"Liu Tianning’s thod overly depletes the future of the Academic Palace and may not even yield results, so I do not agree!" Kang Zhengxian couldn’t be bothered to point out specifics.
Because reaching this point, fundantally, it’s about having a fight.
As the saying goes, if different Paths don’t align, do not plan together.
Then there’s no need to speak further, let each defend their own Path to determine the victor!
"I have an objection!"
"I have an objection!"
"I have an objection!"
Very soon, three more people jumped out, including the Dean of the Military Envoy Academy, Chu Qianqiu, the second-ranked candidate.
Xu Xing looked at Liu Tianning, who then also flew up to oppose the four.
"I have a disciple nad Zhao Xing, who is precisely a beneficiary of the Green Seed Law."
As Liu Tianning spoke, Zhao Xing flew to his side.
"Zhao Xing is forty-one years old this year. When I took him as a disciple, it was the 17th year of Jingxin, and he was in the Seventh Grade Realm then."
"Now, exactly twenty years have passed, and he is in the Fourth Grade Realm Perfection, having cultivated the Soul-devouring Dharma Body!"
At this point, Liu Tianning’s gaze turned cold as he glanced at the four.
"Since you all have objections, send out your prized disciples!"
"To engage in a Great Taoism Competition with my disciple!"
"Who is stronger or weaker, will be known after the contest!"
This way is also a kind of mitigation.
An internal war is essentially a drain.
Those who have objections, after hearing Liu Tianning’s words, could refuse and retreat accordingly.
Only Liu Tianning’s Great Taoism Competition could not be refused, as it would determine the direction of the Academic Palace for hundreds of years.
Kang Zhengxian, Chu Qianqiu, Jiang Hua, and Zhong Yuan swept their gazes over Zhao Xing.
At this ti, Jiang Hua among the four felt a slight chill because he sensed that his disciple would have a hard ti defeating Liu Tianning’s disciple.
Xu Xing tily asked, "The four of you, are you satisfied with Dean Liu’s explanation?"
Jiang Hua took the opportunity to cup his hands and said, "I have no objections anymore, and am willing to implent Dean Liu’s plan and follow the arrangents."
Given a way out, he gladly accepted it.
But the other three remained unmoved.
Instead, they accepted Liu Tianning’s ’disciple duel’.
"Zhong He!"
"Xia Zhu!"
"Lian Tianyu!"
"Huang Jing!"
"Wu Ziteng!"
"Lin Haishan!"
"Zhang Han!"
The three called out the nas of their respective disciples.
Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish~
In all, seven figures appeared in the sky.
"Hmph, these three idiots." Princess You Ruo snorted coldly inside a distant viewing pavilion decked with jade curtains.
Princess You Ruo clearly understood the reason for their opposition. It was because Liu Tianning was getting too close to the Ji Royal Family.
One reason was her, Princess You Ruo herself.
The second was that during the Ping Man War, Liu Tianning did many things for Emperor Jing.
The Green Seed Law was likely also pushed by Emperor Jing.
"So many people aren’t jumping out, and only these three oppose." In Princess You Ruo’s eyes, there was also Evil Qi, "Really courting death!"
In fact, considering Shangluo Academy’s size, having only three people oppose is already quite few.
Back when Xu Xing took power, he killed more than three hundred high-ranking individuals! Mostly because during Emperor Wen’s ti, policies were more benevolent, and the Daoist Academy and Academic Palace were thriving.
At that ti, Xu Xing could only kill extensively to make these people wake up.
And after several hundred years of Emperor Jing’s guidance, plus Liu Tianning’s true strength, everyone was much more obedient this ti.
No way around it, Emperor Jing isn’t Emperor Wen, not a bit associated with benevolence.
"Chu Qianqiu still chose to stand out." Duke Wei quietly observed, "Such a pity."
"To beco the dean of the Military Envoy Academy, Chu Qianqiu’s strength is formidable, and his exhibited talent back then wasn’t much weaker than Liu Tianning’s."
"Communicated nurous tis over many years." Luo Hou King snorted, "Stubbornly unrepentant, so there’s no pity to talk about."
...
In the sky, Xu Xing looked at Zhao Xing.
At this mont, the three Second Grade experts had simply introduced their disciples.
Each was at the realm of Fourth Grade Perfection, all once-in-a-million geniuses, having experienced nurous battles.
So even participated in the Ping Man War, with two having been ennobled as marquises.
"Zhao Xing, who would you like to face first?" Xu Xing asked. "You can choose."
"Yes, Dean." Zhao Xing flew a bit closer, sweeping his gaze over the seven, then let out a snort.
"No need to waste everyone’s ti; you seven, co at together!"
"I accept the Great Taoism Competition from all seven of you at once!"
"Let us determine both superiority and life or death!"
Zhao Xing’s voice spread with the wind, echoing between heaven and earth.
A trace of a smile flashed in Xu Xing’s eyes, as if he had long anticipated Zhao Xing’s decision.
Liu Tianning remained expressionless, holding absolute confidence in Zhao Xing.
Neither Luo Hou King, King Heavenly Destiny, or Princess You Ruo showed surprise either.
Only Duke Wei was taken aback: "Isn’t this kid a bit too arrogant?"
"He has the grounds to be arrogant." Luo Hou King glanced at King Heavenly Destiny.
King Heavenly Destiny laughed, "Don’t look at , I’m not the one fighting, I can’t say anything."
"All I can say is I also have great faith in him."
...
Those who understand Zhao Xing found his words absolutely normal.
Those who don’t understand were extrely angry and puzzled.
