Chapter 209: Fame Lake, Lake Center Stage
Chapter 209: Fame Lake, Lake Center Stage
Indeed, as Li Tangzhu had said.
In the face of such an important matter, Gu Feng naturally knew what to do.
As a core disciple like him, he would undoubtedly become a key figure in Tiangang City in the future.
It was even possible that he would eventually succeed the Sect Leader's position.
No matter how much he disliked Su Chen, he wouldn't publicly undermine him.
Doing so would only bring shame to Tiangang City.
However, even without Gu Feng's interference, he felt that this assembly wouldn't be easy.
Many sects had heard about the Yunyang Sect's current disdain for Su Chen.
Su Chen had been driven out of the Yunyang Sect, and his reputation was in tatters.
But in Tiangang City, not only did he grow, but he also obtained the position of a direct disciple.
Regarding the rumors, they all said that the Yunyang Sect had overlooked ordinary disciples and failed to recognize their true potential.
In the eyes of the Yunyang Sect, Tiangang City was deliberately promoting Su Chen.
Moreover, the Yunyang Sect had been troubled by the issues on the frontline defense for a long time this year.
In comparison, Tiangang City's reputation among the younger generation had rapidly improved.
When Gu Feng heard these rumors, he also tried to discern the truth within them.
But after much thought, he felt that his sect indeed had reasons to act this way.
Every year, Tiangang City was suppressed by the Yunyang Sect, except for some sects that had good relations with Tiangang City.
Other outstanding young talents would likely prioritize the Yunyang Sect.
Even Su Chen had initially planned to go to the Yunyang Sect to learn some skills.
Tiangang City had indeed gained many benefits from this matter involving Su Chen.
As a disciple of Tiangang City, no matter whether the sect was right or wrong in this matter, or whether they had used some unsavory methods,
Gu Feng would undoubtedly stand on Tiangang City's side.
As night fell, everyone settled down to rest.
Su Chen didn't continue his cultivation but took a good rest to prepare for the next day's assembly.
Senior Zhenren Shangxuan had made it clear to him that the purpose of attending this assembly was to broaden his horizons and see the talents of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He could also try to gain some insights from it.
After all, for Celestial Prodigies like him, cultivation improvement relied more on personal enlightenment and contemplation.
If Su Chen couldn't adapt, Senior Zhenren Shangxuan would also allow him to continue his previous cultivation methods.
The sect's elders would provide guidance, and Su Chen would steadily improve his cultivation following their instructions.
The night passed, and dawn gradually broke.
Even before 9 AM, everyone had already risen to prepare.
Not only did the Tiangang City disciples wake up early, but others had woken up even earlier.
Many sects had arrived in the capital city today.
With more people, business thrived.
The street vendors in the capital were also more enthusiastic, having already taken to the streets early.
Those sects without the qualifications to participate in the assembly still had some opportunities to observe.
The assembly was held on the western side of the capital, at Fame Lake.
In the center of the lake, there was a spacious stage called the Lake Center Stage.
Sects without qualifications could only stand on the shore to watch.
The distance was a bit far, and the crowd might not understand the conversations on the stage.
However, from the shore, they could still see any sparring that took place.
The loud conversations on the Lake Center Stage could still be heard.
Additionally, some of the discussions were relayed back to the shore.
This allowed the young martial artists of the Great Zhou Dynasty to listen and perhaps gain some insights.
At 9:30 AM, Su Chen arrived at Fame Lake with the Tiangang City disciples.
The lake's edge was packed with people, except for the area where the stage was located.
Aside from martial artists, many citizens from the capital had also come to watch the excitement.
Su Chen looked up.
Those who had the chance to step onto the Lake Center Stage were watched by countless eyes.
The feeling of being surrounded by admirers was truly remarkable.
Today's gathering was not just about obtaining official qualifications.
Merely stepping onto the stage was already an exceptional feat.
Disciples from various major sects had gathered at the shores of Fame Lake.
The first highlight of the assembly was about to begin.
Disciples participating in the gathering were making their way from the shore to the Lake Center Stage.
Some took this opportunity to showcase their body techniques.
Among the many cultivation methods, body techniques were the most challenging to learn and master.
Executing body techniques was the best way to display one's innate talent and power.
Moreover, many body techniques were visually pleasing to watch.
Citizens from the capital had come to witness this spectacle.
Of course, besides using body techniques to reach the stage, one could also take a boat.
Su Chen stood among the Heavenly Pole City disciples, observing as everyone began.
The first to make a move was a disciple from the Ten Thousand Mile Sect.
They took a step on the shore, followed by a palm strike, seemingly borrowing the power of the wind.
Their body then leaped, landing directly on the Lake Center Stage.
The onlooking citizens from the capital cheered and applauded upon seeing this.
However, many martial artists could identify the issues with the disciple's technique.
The Ten Thousand Mile Sect disciple's body technique was not yet fully mastered.
Needing to rely on the wind power to reach the stage, could this technique even be used in actual combat? But for the citizens, the fancier and more flamboyant, the better.
They had come to enjoy the spectacle.
Soon, disciples from various sects followed, stepping onto the Lake Center Stage.
Some disciples lightly tapped the lake surface with their swords, borrowing the force like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Some disciples transformed into sharp arrows, shooting towards the stage.
The diverse body techniques were indeed interesting and captivating.
However, these techniques would be useless in actual combat, only slightly helpful for fleeing.
Among them, Su Chen also noticed several disciples with exceptional body techniques.
Their figures swayed gracefully, almost not requiring any extra hand movements to reach the stage.
Such body techniques were truly exceptional and well-practiced.
Facing opponents, only then would one have the chance to wield weapons and engage in battle.
Many eyes around him turned towards Su Chen.
As one of Great Zhou's top sects, the Heavenly Pole City naturally garnered high expectations from the capital's citizens.
Gu Feng walked to the shore, his body leaping out.
His body technique was also unremarkable.
Gu Wei and Gu Yu followed closely, with Gu Yu slightly borrowing the power of his sword.
The distance to the Lake Center Stage was still a bit far.
Seeing that they had already stepped onto the stage, Su Chen no longer hesitated and jumped forward.
In an instant, a surge of energy pushed him from behind.
It was Li Tangzhu.
He seemed concerned that Su Chen might not land properly on the stage, so he lent a helping hand.
Su Chen didn't say anything, as Li Tangzhu's intentions were good.
The movement was subtle, unnoticed by the citizens.
However, many from other sects noticed this.
They couldn't help but scoff.
Most of the people had already stepped onto the stage when the Yunyang Sect disciples finally arrived.
The appearance of Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan immediately drew the most attention.
As the twin celestial prodigies, their reputation preceded them, naturally attracting much interest.
The two lightly leaped over, landing gracefully on the Lake Center Stage.
