I have a wild world

Chapter 168 Selection of Suzerain
"Cough cough~"

After an unknown amount of time passed, Wu Qiankun, who was half leaning on the seat, slowly opened his eyes, and coughed a few times like an ordinary old man.

I don't know if this was his unintentional move. In short, after hearing his voice, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and their eyes all focused on him.

"The purpose of calling everyone here today must be clearer to you than me, so I won't say much."

Unsteadily changing his posture, Wu Qiankun's old voice echoed softly in the entire hall, making everyone, especially the four young people including Wu Tian, ​​involuntarily straighten their waists.

"It has been more than 100 years since the creation of the Divine Cauldron Sect. Regarding the election of the suzerain, there have been clear rules and instructions. Everyone should be clear about it. However, I will repeat it here."

"If you want to become the suzerain of the Shending Sect, you must meet three major conditions!"

"One, its own strength!"

"Second, its own appeal!"

"Third, loyalty and contribution to the sect!"

After a pause, he continued, "These three conditions have not changed since the establishment of the sect, and there will be no change."

"All of you are my sons and have priority inheritance rights, but I want to tell you that priority inheritance does not mean certain inheritance!"

"According to the ancestral teachings left by our ancestors, if the four of you are finally judged to not meet the conditions to succeed the suzerain, then I will take a preliminary plan and choose the most suitable candidate from among the sect!"

"You guys, do you have any opinions on this?"

After the words fell, Wu Qiankun's seemingly old and confused eyes scanned the entire hall lightly.

Whether it was Wu Tian, ​​the young people, or others, under his gaze, they involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other.

Don't look at Wu Qiankun's old age, but these people all know that as long as the other party hasn't really closed their eyes, the entire Divine Cauldron Sect is still in the hands of the other party.

90.00% of the credit for Shendingzong's ability to become the number one sect in Yunnan-Guizhou Province today must be attributed to him.

It can be said that Wu Qiankun is not only the suzerain who has been in office for the longest time in the history of Shendingzong, but also the suzerain who has contributed the most. Of course, the most important point is that he is also the most powerful suzerain in the history of Shendingzong!
No one knows the extent of his true strength, because everyone who has fought against him has already died!
But he has lived until now!
"Follow the order of the suzerain!"

I don't know who said something, and soon, other people in the hall echoed, and they didn't dare to have the slightest opinion.

"Ah, very good."

Wu Qiankun nodded calmly, his eyes wandered casually over his sons, and then he looked at the old man beside him who looked about his age.

"Then, next, I will trouble you, Old Liu."

After finishing the words, he half closed his eyes again, and leaned back on the seat, as if he was a little tired.

The old man whom he called 'Old Liu' moved his eyes away from Wu Qiankun, and quickly scanned the hall with the same old eyes.

"All the disciples of the Divine Cauldron Sect obey the order, and the selection of the sixth Sect Master begins now."

A plain, but thunderous voice exploded in everyone's ears. Except for a few old men with calm faces, the others, including Wu Tian and the four suzerain candidates, were all suppressed. The old man was taken aback by the sound of 'exploding thunder'.

Immediately, some people who didn't know 'Old Liu' very well began to look at the old man with different eyes!
No wonder Wu Qiankun would entrust such an important task to the other party. The old man has already shown his strength just by doing this, and it is definitely not comparable to ordinary people!
"The selection of suzerain this time is divided into three stages of competition. Only one person can get points in each stage. After all three stages are over, the top two with points can accept the final evaluation."

"The final evaluation will be made jointly by the elders of the Divine Cauldron Sect and several Supreme Elders. Only those who are approved by eight senior elders can succeed to the position of suzerain."

"If no one reaches this standard in the end, then I will implement the preliminary plan and select the most suitable person from among the major disciples of the sect to be the suzerain!"

After explaining the rules calmly, simply, and straightforwardly, Old Liu paused before continuing.

"In the first stage, we will compete for our own strength, and we will use the method of ring battle. Four candidates are invited to come to me to draw lots."

As he spoke, he took out a black wooden box out of nowhere as if he was juggling. Inside the wooden box, there were four beads of different colors that collided with each other from time to time. It didn't look like there was anything special about it.

Under everyone's comments, Lao Liu continued: "The rules of the ring battle are very simple. Those who draw the odd numbers will fight in pairs, and the same is true for those who have drawn the even numbers. In the end, the winners of the odd and even numbers will fight again, and finally get The first one gets 1 point, and the rest get zero points!"

"Is there anything else you don't understand?"

He looked at Wu Tian and the others, and made a final question.

Several candidates, including Wu Tian, ​​shook their heads at the same time, indicating that there was no problem.

Although it is the first time for them to participate in this kind of selection, they are already familiar with the rules. After all, this competition is related to their everything in the future, and it is said to be the most important time in their lives. There is no turning point.

If it succeeds, it will soar into the sky!
If you lose, you have nothing!
They knew very well in their hearts that although everyone was blood brothers, no matter who won the victory in the end, the first thing to do was to get rid of their 'dissidents'!
"Very well, then, start drawing lots!"

Old Liu nodded faintly, stretched out the wooden box in front of several people, and signaled them to choose one each.

Wu Tian and the others paused for a moment, but did not act directly.

It's not that they doubt Lao Liu's impartiality. In fact, as the sons of Wu Qiankun, they know better than others that if they can't even trust the person in front of them in the entire Shending Sect, then there is no second It's trustworthy.

Among them, even their father, Wu Qiankun who is the suzerain!

Their hesitation was just caused by instinctive tension. There was no way, no matter who it was, it was difficult for them to deal with the situation in front of them calmly.

"Hehe, if you don't choose, then I will be the first!"

At this time, a slightly rough voice sounded, and the tallest man among the four took the initiative to take a step forward and randomly selected a blue bead from the wooden box.

Seeing this person, the pupils of the other three contracted involuntarily.

As the saying goes, "a dragon has nine sons, each with its own differences", the four are all sons of Wu Qiankun, but they each have their own strengths.

The man in front of him is Wu Qiankun's eldest son, named 'Wu Zhan', he is 29 years old this year.Just like his name, what he is best at is fighting!

Although the four of them have hardly ever fought against each other, everyone knows some things well. In terms of strength, Wu Zhan is undoubtedly the strongest among them!

At the age of 29, he has half a foot into the innate realm, and he even ranks No.12 in this year's "Hidden Dragon List", disregarding 90.00% of his peers!
