Everyone had different reactions. Some were doubtful, some were shocked, and some were even excited.
The Hermit Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, Wang Yuanyi, had already stood up. He knew that the test results of the ten elders would definitely not be wrong.
Wang Yuanyi was already 133 years old this year. His qi cultivation had already reached its peak. However, facing an 18-year-old Perfected Great Grandmaster, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
It couldn’t be helped. The greatest wish of everyone in the Hermit Pavilion was to break through the shackles and become a Celestial Being.
Wang Yuan saw hope in Ning Shi.
Of course, there were also many people who were full of hostility toward Ning Shi, especially many of the higher-ups in the three sects. They had originally had high hopes for the selection of the person in charge.
After five years of grooming countless disciples, they had finally selected these few seeded contestants. Once someone in the sect became the leader, it would be very beneficial to the sect.
They didn’t want to waste their efforts because of Ning Shi.
Shangguan Yun had the same idea. She opened her hands and pressed down, shouting, “Silence! What’s with all the noise? There’s a distinguished guest here. Do you want City Lord Li to see a joke?”
Shangguan Yun had been the person in charge for five years. She was a smooth and slick woman, and she had a certain reputation in the Celestial Sect. Therefore, after she finished speaking, although everyone was excited, they stopped whispering.
The scene fell silent.
Shangguan Yun said, “Now that the test results are out, all five candidates meet the requirements. Let’s go straight to the selection competition. May I ask City Lord Li Sijia to draw the competition area for us?”
In the traditional fighters’ world, strength had always been king. Therefore, the rules of the selection for the Celestial Conversation were very simple. It was a survival competition in the arena.
All the candidates would fight in a designated area. The last candidate remaining in the circle would be the only winner and would become the new leader.
As for the area of the arena, it was usually decided in advance. If it was not decided, one could also ask a respected senior to determine the competition area on the spot.
Shangguan Yun gave her an excuse and asked Li Sijia to mark the competition area.
Upon receiving Shangguan Yun’s invitation, Li Sijia strode down the steps and came to the middle of the spacious hall.
She first looked at Ning Shi with a slightly scrutinizing look, then clapped her hands gently. A gray airflow that was visible to the naked eye shot out from her palm and circled around the hall.
The gray air current moved along the ground, leaving charred marks on the stone slabs in the hall. These marks formed a circle with a diameter of about five meters.
After Li Sijia displayed her exquisite control of the radiation element, she said indifferently, “The competition area is this circle. Whoever leaves the circle will be eliminated!”
After saying that, she returned to the steps and sat down.
Ning Shi and the other four candidates stood in the circle.
Ning Shi did not move from the beginning to the end, but the other four candidates were already standing around him, surrounding him from all directions.
Obviously, they were provoked by Elder Yu Guang’s words and planned to attack Ning Shi first.
Ning Shi didn’t mind. In any case, it was an instant kill for him.
Beep!
The referee blew the long whistle, and the match officially began!
Ning Shi’s figure flashed, extremely fast. In the light and shadow effect, Ning Shi instantly activated his Shadow Avatar Technique, and four Ning Shis appeared in front of the other four candidates.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four people, four punches, four sounds, and four figures flew out.
Beep! The referee’s whistle had just sounded when the survival match in the arena ended.
This lightning speed caused the entire stadium to fall silent. Everyone was shocked, including the referee.
“You can announce the result now!” Ning Shi said.
Only then did the referee react. His whistle sounded again, and then he shouted loudly, “The person-in-charge selection has ended. The winner of the 507th session of the Celestial Sect’s person-in-charge selection is Ning Shi!
“Congratulations to Lord Ning Shi for becoming the 507th person in charge of the Celestial Sect!’
Generally speaking, after becoming a new person in charge, the new person in charge would not have much power in the first two months. He would mainly work with the higher-ups and the previous person in charge, learning and handing over.
But Ning Shi’s situation seemed to be very different.
After he was elected as the person in charge, he was immediately surrounded by many elders of the Celestial Sect.
And the person who moved the fastest and stood in front of Ning Shi was the Hermit Pavilion Master, Wang Yuanyi!
