Chapter 317
Several grand elders landed before Jiang Chen to form a solid wall. Du Yue flew away after hitting it.
He felt sore all over his body when he fell onto the ground. He couldn’t even get to his feet.
“Du Yue, you have completely lost control of yourself as an elder.”
“You didn’t keep your word and even attacked a disciple due to anger and shame. Do you think you can still call yourself an elder?”
“In my opinion, we should relieve him from his post as elder.”
What the grand elders were saying woke Du Yue up. He panicked and managed to stand up through the pain. He was about to defend himself when he suddenly recalled that all of these elders were on Jiang Chen’s side. It would be useless even if he tried.
Am I really going to slap myself?
Jiang Chen and Ying Wushuang glanced at each other. The latter received permission from Jiang Chen’s gaze and said, “Leader, here’s the thing…”
As Ying Wushuang spoke, people’s questions were answered.
Du Yue finally knew why they had been able to get outstandings. He tumbled to the realization and was struck dumb.
The others went through the same thought process as him.
“Wushuang, do you mean you earned outstandings simply by practicing with the three pieces of practice equipment Jiang Chen built in the past two weeks?” the leader asked the question on everyone’s mind.
They all knew what she had been like before, but she had made up for her losses in the past and even surpassed everyone else after only two weeks of practice.
If that was true, the practice equipment of the Hero Palace was like trash compared to Jiang Chen’s equipment.
Grand Elder Snowbrow had guessed it correctly. She told the leader about Jiang Chen purchasing materials through holy awareness, which no one else had noticed she was using.
“Jiang Chen, you’ve really brought us many surprises! Could you show us this magical equipment?” said the leader.
Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate to show them the Heaven Halo Bead.
“Oh? This small iron ball could be compared to the Soothing Lake? Amazing,” the leader commended.
“Yeah. And I can build even more,” said Jiang Chen.
He meant that each disciple could have their own Heaven Halo Bead.
All of the disciples’ eyes lit up. They had witnessed Ying Wushuang and Jiang Chen’s test results. Of course, they were eager to achieve the same, but Jiang Chen said again, “I was going to share it with the Hero Palace, but I think I have to reconsider due to your actions just now.”
The disciples glanced at each other anxiously. Why would he reconsider?
Grand Elder Snowbrow panicked. She said, “It was my fault. It was my ignorance that led to such a conflict.”
Thinking of the practice equipment and the method to develop extraordinary meridians, they were extremely impressed by Jiang Chen.
“I’m not the one who needs to hear this,” Jiang Chen said coldly.
Grand Elder Snowbrow was in a daze. She walked to Ying Wushuang and said, “Wushuang, I went too far and said many terrible things to you. Please forgive me.”
“I don’t accept your apology, and I won’t forgive you, but I won’t make a fuss about what happened between us, either,” Ying Wushuang answered.
“Jiang Chen, I’m fine,” she said again.
Grand Elder Snowbrow had been incredibly nervous, fearful and regretful. At that moment, she relaxed.
Jiang Chen didn’t speak. He looked towards Du Yue.
Then everyone looked towards him.
Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!
In complete silence, Du Yue closed his eyes and slapped himself with force.
He was smart. He knew it was his only way out.
