Chapter 92: The Elders' Criticism of Ji Sheng
Chapter 92: The Elders' Criticism of Ji Sheng
Today's key discussion will undoubtedly revolve around Su Chen.
After experiencing so many events, Su Chen has always been a controversial figure.
This controversy has existed since Su Chen entered Tiangang City.
Initially, most people in Tiangang City had a negative opinion of Su Chen.
But after these past few months, especially after the events on the frontline, many people's views of Su Chen have changed.
The biggest problem Tiangang City has faced in recent years is not the lack of outstanding disciples in the sect.
Instead, it's how to keep the lesser demons out of the wilderness.
Last year, Tiangang City encountered its biggest trouble in many years.
The frontline defenses were breached, and small demons infiltrated through the lines, seeping into the rear.
In that moment, Tiangang City had to deal with the demons in the rear while also increasing their investment in the frontline defenses.
Last year's Tiangang City could be described as a headache for the entire sect.
They even had to request assistance from other sects and wandering heroes.
But half a year has already passed.
Not only has the frontline not faced any crises or troubles,
but news of various achievements has spread.
Not only has the frontline been stabilized, but discussions about advancing the frontline have also begun.
The efforts and contributions Su Chen made on the frontline have not gone unnoticed.
The elders of Tiangang City have already received news about Su Chen's accomplishments from various sources.
When it comes to Su Chen's achievements, the messages are consistent.
The numerous elders of Tiangang City now believe in Su Chen's ability to deal with demons.
As a result, their evaluations and opinions of Su Chen have naturally changed significantly from the beginning.
"Ji Sheng, you are Su Chen's instructor. Please share your evaluation of him and whether you recommend him for promotion, along with your reasons."
This might be the first time Ji Sheng is evaluating a disciple under his command.
In the past, his disciples were not even qualified to be evaluated.
Hearing the Third Elder's words, Ji Sheng slowly stood up.
Even in front of his elders, he dared not go too far.
"From my personal perspective, Su Chen is a disciple with some small intelligence and diligence.
But it's just some small intelligence and diligence.
His talent and potential in cultivation are quite ordinary.
Saying he's below average is probably accurate.
When his cultivation realm is low, this gap won't be too obvious.
He might even gain some advantages through hard work and diligent study.
But as his cultivation deepens, his low talent and potential will become apparent.
My opinion remains the same as before; I don't recommend the sect invest more resources in this disciple."
After Ji Sheng finished speaking, he sat down again.
The surrounding instructors looked at him, their brows tightly furrowed.
Other instructors would go to great lengths to praise their disciples in the hope of gaining more attention.
Ji Sheng was different. Even though Su Chen was his disciple, he seemed to treat him like an enemy, constantly setting obstacles in his path.
After Ji Sheng finished speaking, the entire side hall fell silent.
After a while, Ouyang Chuan stood up, his brows furrowed as he looked at Ji Sheng.
"Mr. Ji, during the mid-year examination, you made a promise to Su Chen.
If he could withstand twenty or thirty moves from Gu Wei, you said you would support Su Chen.
As a 5th Stage cultivator, you can't go back on your word, can you?"
Speaking such words in public feels like a betrayal.
But Ouyang Chuan couldn't bear it any longer. He truly couldn't tolerate Ji Sheng's treatment of Su Chen.
As a resident of Tiangang City, one should always consider the city's interests first.
A disciple with insufficient talent and potential is a huge waste of resources for the sect.
Ji Sheng's excuses caused the instructors to frown even more.
As Hou Chenfei's instructor rose to speak, another instructor also stood up.
"Mr. Ji, where exactly is Su Chen lacking in talent and potential? In the mid-year examination, he fought against Gu Wei.
He didn't lose to her, which proves his talent and potential, doesn't it?"
After one instructor finished speaking, another stood up.
"As instructors of Tiangang City, we should keep our promises.
Since you've already made a promise to your student, why go back on your word?
Don't come up with such pretentious excuses.
If you truly want what's best for Tiangang City, you should be more dedicated and put in more effort during your teaching.
You're always saying this disciple lacks talent, that disciple lacks potential.
Is that the attitude a teacher should have?"
The instructor's words left no face for Ji Sheng.
It was as if he was being scolded to his face.
The world is vast, and there are many people.
As instructors, who wouldn't want to seek out the most talented individuals to teach?
But not everyone can be that supreme genius; true geniuses are rare.
"If you feel you can't teach them, if you think they're wasting your time, send them to me.
I'll make time, even if it means less rest, to teach them.
There's nothing I can't teach."
Ji Sheng never expected that his words would be criticized by the other instructors.
He still wore a slight smile, but his expression became somewhat unsightly.
Before he could speak, another instructor stood up.
"Mr. Ji, among all the students you've taught, Su Chen is the most outstanding.
If you can't even appreciate him, then what kind of disciple would meet your standards?
If you truly have the ability, then go and cultivate a disciple, and then surpass Su Chen.
I completely disagree with your assessment today.
Moreover, Su Chen is quite capable when it comes to scouting for demonic beasts.
I've gotten to know him and have talked with him.
Although he comes from a peasant family, he is well-read and polite, and I have a good impression of him.
Even though he's not my disciple, I acknowledge his abilities. If the sect doesn't cultivate him, I don't know who they should cultivate."
Ouyang Chuan initially thought he would need to speak up for Su Chen.
However, he didn't expect the other instructors to also stand up for Su Chen.
Previously, when they were at the frontline, Su Chen would patrol the frontlines almost every day.
He would notice any traces left by demonic beasts and identify areas that needed extra defense.
After Su Chen's observations, he would remind the instructors.
During this process, Su Chen became acquainted with many instructors.
They might not be extremely close, but they had simple conversations.
Setting aside any biases, they all had a good impression of Su Chen.
He was polite and easy to get along with.
Su Chen's observations about the locations of demonic beasts were usually accurate, and those areas would indeed be attacked by the beasts.
Generally, many genius disciples carried some arrogance.
In comparison, Su Chen was much more amiable and didn't have a haughty attitude due to his abilities.
Today, Su Chen's performance in the mid-year examination was also excellent.
Naturally, the instructors wanted to speak up for him.
