However, when he heard their agreement, Lee Yiyang lightly shook his head, and asked while looking at the three: "Then three elders, what do you think about Guo Hao, Yu Yun Ya, and the others without any skills?"
"This …"
Hearing Lee Yiyang's question, the three of them did not know how to answer. After a long hesitation, it was still Zhu Yan who braced himself and said: "Wu Dai's strength may not be as good as these two, but his talent is not any worse than theirs. In time, he will definitely catch up to them."
Zhu Yan said that it was to catch up, not surpass. Everyone knew in their hearts that it was extremely difficult for Su Wuzhi to catch up to those two people, let alone overtaking them.
His answer was only flattering Lee Yiyang.
Although Su Wu Arts had reached Void Stage, it was still only at the peak of the first stage of Void Stage. Not to mention comparing it with Guo Hao and Yu Yun Ya, the two top geniuses of Donghuang Realm, even Wang Qingfeng and Soong Shusheng, who were ranked behind, would be hard-pressed to surpass him.
It must be known that Guo Hao was rumored to have already reached the peak of the fourth stage of Void Stage, just a step away from entering the fifth stage. At this level, even many experts of the older generation felt ashamed.
Even within the Donghuang Sect, only a handful of people knew of her true strength. However, one thing was certain, and that was that her true strength was at least at the fourth level of the Void Stage.
Otherwise, with Yu Yun Ya's strength, she wouldn't have been ranked second amongst the five great Donghuang Emperor Sect disciples, and was only second to Guo Hao, who was about to step into the fifth heaven of Void Stage.
It could be said that the current status of the Crimson Nimbus Emperor Sect was entirely reliant on Lee Yiyang.
Everyone was well aware of this fact.
"I naturally know about his strength without any techniques. If he had some time, it wouldn't be hard for him to catch up to the two of them. But, will the realm of the two of them not increase?"
Lee Yiyang asked again.
"Sect Master wants to give this Holy Fruit of the Flaming Dragon to Wu Dao?"
Zhang Hong couldn't help but ask.
They had come this time to obtain the ownership of this Holy Fruit of the Flaming Dragon. Even though they already knew that this Holy Fruit of the Flaming Dragon had no fate with them, they still carried a trace of hope.
Moreover, this question of his was not considered an offense.
"If one without any skills, could indeed surpass Guo Hao and become the strongest among all of the Donghuang Realm's young disciples. However, to the entire sect, it is not very meaningful."
Lee Yiyang shook his head.
"Could it be Qin Shan Tai?"
Zhu Yan asked in confusion.
Qin Shan Tai's strength was pretty much on par with Su Wu Arts, and was also at the first stage of the Void Stage. Moreover, in terms of aptitude, he was not worse than Su Wu Zhi, but his physique was the strongest amongst all of the Crimson Nimbus Emperor Sect disciples.
Even Su Wu Ji was not Qin Shan Tai's opponent.
It was only because Qin Shan Tai was the direct disciple of Great Elder Zhang Hong, thus, when the number one person in the younger generation was mentioned before, everyone thought of Su Wuji and not Qin Shan Tai.
If it was only the strength of these two people, then who among them was the weaker one?
"Mountain Tai is strong, his physique is strong, and he is more suited to cultivate my Crimson Nimbus Emperor Sect's foundation cultivation technique. If you really want to give the Holy Fruit of the Flaming Dragon to Wu Ji and San Tai, then my sect truly favors Mountain Tai more."
Lee Yiyang replied lightly.
However, after those words were said, it caused Zhang Hong, Zhu Yan and the others to frown. Once again, they became puzzled.
Because Lee Yiyang's answer, undoubtedly showed that this Holy Fruit of the Flaming Dragon would also not be handed over to Qin ShanTai!
But in the entire Crimson Nimbus Emperor Sect, other than Su Wu Zhi and Qin Shan Tai, who else had the qualifications to obtain this Holy Fruit of the Flaming Dragon?
"Wenxue, come forward."
While Zhu Yan and Sun Tie were still confused, Lee Yiyang, who was sitting at the top, suddenly opened his mouth and his gaze fell on the woman beside Xue Futu.
Her tone was kind and full of kindness.
"Could it be …"
Regardless of whether it was Zhang Hong or Zhu Yan, at this moment, both of their hearts could not help but jump. Their eyes revealed a deep disbelief as they looked at Xue Futu in surprise.
However, he found out that at this moment, after hearing Lee Yiyang's words, a faint smile appeared on Xue Futu's face.
For a time, their hearts sank to the bottom.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
When the masked woman beside Xue Futu heard this, she immediately stepped forward and bowed towards Lee Yiyang. Her eyes were clear as if she was facing an ordinary old man. Although she respected him, she did not show any fear or reverence.
That point was something even Qin Shantai and Su Wuzhi could not do when they saw Lee Yiyang. On that point alone, Xue Futu's disciple really had to throw Su Wuzhi and Su Wuzhi far away.
However, this alone was far from enough. One had to know, Xue Futu only accepted a disciple with Ultima Stage, how could he have the qualifications to use that Holy Fruit of the Flaming Dragon?
The Holy Fruit of the Flaming Dragon was a Divine Soul level spirit fruit, even if he gave it to her to ingest, she would not have the ability to ingest it. In the end, it was possible that she would die from the spirit energy inside the Holy Fruit of the Flaming Dragon.
"I ask you, are you willing to take me as your master and become my personal disciple?"
Lee Yiyang asked again.
"What?"
Hearing Lee Yiyang's words, Zhang Hong and Zhu Yan widened their eyes once again. Lee Yiyang actually planned to accept this woman as his direct disciple?
One had to know that although true disciples could receive ten or one hundred positions, there was only one direct disciple. Any direct disciple was basically the future sect's Sect Master.
Even though Donghuang Jing had accepted five true disciples, he had yet to determine who was going to be the direct disciple. His goal was to find out who would lead the entire Donghuang Emperor Sect to the end and become the next generation's Donghuang Emperor Sect, Sect Master.
But Lee Yiyang had actually chosen to accept this woman as his direct disciple. If this matter were to spread, it would be enough to shock the entire Donghuang Realm.
However, this woman had already taken Xue Futu as her master. How could she possibly take Lee Yiyang as her master again? Even if Xue Futu expelled this person from his sect, Lee Yiyang would definitely become a famous disciple in the future.
Was it really worth it?
Xue Futu, who had been silent all this time, spoke up at this moment, "Perhaps Great Elder and Third Elder are unaware. Although Wenxue has been following me in cultivation all this time, I am not Wenxue's Master."
Xue Futu said with a faint smile. His smile was filled with pride.
"Disciple Zhu Wenxue pays her respect to Master!"
At the same time, the masked woman also took off her veil. Both of her hands were on the ground as she respectfully kowtowed to Lee Yiyang on the stage and did the disciple salute …
