Chapter 249 Splitting the Quotas (2/2)

If one were to sweep one’s gaze across the group at this moment, one would be surprised to see nearly half the ten great outer mountain disciples present.

The other disciples nodded and agreed in succession.

Lu Feng softly chuckled, reaching out a hand to call for silence. His gaze swept around the group as he said, “There is only a month before the peak selection ceremony.”

Everyone’s expressions tensed a little, clearly understanding the importance of the ceremony. It was an event that would determine their future prospects in the Cangxuan Sect.

“I’ve heard that the one who takes first place will be rewarded by the sect. The ultimate winner will not only be given a Heaven Genesis technique, but they have even made an exception this time and decided to also bestow the champion a single Genesis Marrow Baptism.”

Upon hearing Lu Feng’s words, the surroundings burst into noise, everyone’s eyes now burning with desire.

“To think that it would be Genesis Marrow Baptism!” Yang Xiu clicked his tongue in amazement. “It’s said that only purple sash disciples get to enjoy such a thing. It is very precious and valuable indeed.”

Yang Xiu’s words made the disciples that had yet to fully understand lick their lips in desire. Purple sash disciples. That was the highest rank in the inner mountains.

“But first place will definitely end up with brother Lu.” Someone sighed. Although they coveted the first place reward, they were well aware of their worth. With Lu Feng participating, none of them would be able to compete.

Lu Feng chuckled. “Besides first place, anyone who enters the top ten will be able to directly become gold sash inner mountain disciples. If they become purple sash disciples in the future, they will also get to taste the Genesis Marrow Baptism.”

The young man called Qin Zhen rubbed his chin and said, “But the competition for top ten will be very intense. There are quite a few capable individuals in this batch of outer mountain disciples.”

“Yeah, some of the riff-raff other continents are pretty good.” Added in someone else.

Lu Feng said, “I’ve gathered everyone here today for this very matter.”

His gaze swept across the crowd as he continued, “The peak selection ceremony will be a fierce contest, hence, I intend to fix the top ten spots so as to prevent any unnecessary fighting.”

Everyone looked to each other, evidently not understanding what he meant. What right did they have as disciples to fix the top ten spots?

“Do we have the right to fix the top ten spots?” Asked an uncertain voice asked.

“Whoever has the harder fist will have the right.” Lu Feng smiled faintly.

“We Shengzhou disciples will take eight of the top ten spots. The other two will be thrown for the other continent disciples to fight over.”

The crowd’s eyes brightened. If they could occupy eight spots, it would undoubtedly be great news for them.

However, eight seemed to be a little too much.

Qin Zhen could not help but ask, “Will the other continent disciples agree?”

One had no choice but to admit that there were more disciples from the other continents. Although they could not compare in quality, it would not be easy to convince so many of them to fight for just two spots.

Lu Feng smiled slightly and said, “Anyone who disagrees can come and find me.”

“Brother Lu is so domineering!” The others gave him a thumbs-up, already unable to restrain their excitement. From the looks of it, Lu Feng intended to forcibly occupy eight spots for the Shengzhou disciples.

“Since we have come to an agreement, if anyone does not follow the rules during the peak selection ceremony, we’ll just have to expel him or her…” Lu Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The numerous Shengzhou disciples exchanged a look, before all of them said, “Everything shall be as brother Lu says.”

Lu Feng nodded, before he said in an uncaring manner, “Besides this, if the other continent disciples have any opinions, tell them that all of this started because of Zhou Yuan.”

This was undoubtedly forcing the other continent disciples to grow resentful towards Zhou Yuan.

Only now were the many disciples struck by a flash of understanding. So Zhou Yuan had offended brother Lu...

“Don’t worry brother Lu, that kid has been growing too big headed recently. It is time to let him know exactly who calls the shots in the outer mountains…”

Lu Feng chuckled as he gazed upon the group now filled with righteous indignation. He raised his head, his cold eyes looking towards a certain mountain creek far away.

“Zhou Yuan ah Zhou Yuan. Look at me, I only need to arrange a few things to make everyone your enemy…”

“I heard that you intend to take one of the top ten spots in the peak selection ceremony?”

“Hehe, since that is so, you will only be able to contest for those two spots. I hope that you will not drown in the saliva from everyone’s cursing when that happens…”

“As for the other eight, if you dare to touch them, there won’t even be a need for me to take action. These Shengzhou disciples will ensure you’re beaten black and blue…”
