Chapter 71: Entering the Eighth Level of Refining EssenceOn the sixth day of May, after the other new disciples returned to Tiangang City, Su Chen did not stay any longer.
The reason why it is a few days late is because the breakthrough happened in these few days.
After years of accumulation, he has finally reached the eighth level of essence refining.
Su Chen felt the improvement brought by "Xuan Tian Dao Xin Jue" more and more obviously.
There is no gap without comparison. Su Chen had practiced other basic methods in Yunyang Sect before.
The improvement it brings really cannot be compared with that of "Xuan Tian Dao Xin Jue".
After his realm was raised, Su Chen also tried to use this strength.
He found a secluded place, gripped the long sword tightly in his hand, and swung out with Taixiao's sword in an instant.
The mighty force of the sword seemed to crush everything in front of it.
The surrounding weeds were also shattered by the knife.
As the knife was swung, Su Chen also took a deep breath.
I can still only use one move, but now, I can save some strength.
At least it's not like before, when all the strength in my body was drained away.
This move can be considered as a way to save my life.
Those who returned to Tiangang City first have reported the situation on the front line in more detail.
Looking back to the past, Tiangang City also suffered terribly when facing those monsters.
Under various harassments, the garrison disciples were extremely exhausted.
If the monster escapes, it will be even more difficult to clear it out from the rear.
But now, the defense line of Tiangang City has finally had a peaceful and quiet day.
In front of all the elders, Ouyang Chuan attributed all the credit to Su Chen.
Accurate judgment of the monster's traces allows the front-line defense to gain the upper hand when facing the monster.
In the past, the monsters would attack people, but now they are ambushed.
In fact, news from the frontline defense is transmitted back to the top leaders of Tiangang City every day.
In the beginning, the elders were actually a little bit unconvinced.
Can a young disciple really bring about such a big change?
There are so many experiences in resisting monsters for hundreds and thousands of years, but no one has ever seen such ability.
However, in the responses given by so many team leaders on the front line of defense, Su Chen was mentioned.
From that time on, the elders of Tiangang City actually began to believe it in their hearts.
Tiangang City does not have a system like the Yunyang Sect where everyone reports upward layer by layer.
The team leaders below are all responsible for their own teams.
The results uploaded by each person all mentioned the same message, so the credibility naturally increased.
Now, Ouyang Chuan and other coaches are back.
With their face-to-face statements, the news naturally became more credible.
“Hearing what you said, I am willing to believe this child Su Chen.
However, the middle and high-level leaders of the Yunyang Sect cannot even tell the difference between the disciples under their command. Who is capable?"
The fourth elder sitting in the upper seat, like many others, had such a question in his mind.
Ouyang Chuan had thought about these things a long time ago and had the answers.
“Fourth Elder, you applied the situation of our Tiangang City to the Yunyang Sect, so naturally it is a little confusing.
But I find it nothing strange.
The approach adopted by the Yunyang Sect has always been the most traditional superior-subordinate relationship.
Under the hall master is the team leader disciple, and under the team leader disciple is the team leader.
We always take it for granted that these positions are occupied by those who are more capable.
Whoever is capable will take up these command positions.
But the reality is completely different from what we imagined.
These leading disciples and team leaders would suppress the disciples under their command and prevent them from standing out.
At this time, being particularly capable is actually a disadvantage.
Those leading disciples would be worried that Su Chen’s outstanding performance would take away their command positions.
There are only so many command positions in the Yunyang Sect, and when someone takes up a position, someone else will have to step down.
In this way, these people tacitly suppressed Su Chen. And the high-ranking officials of Yunyang Sect, standing on the top of the mountain, how could they see clearly what was happening below the mountain? "
Ouyang Chuan speaks fluently and his logic is clear.
What he said is absolutely true. There has always been such a problem in the Yunyang Sect.
In order to prevent Su Chen from coming to the fore, how could the people below possibly let the higher-ups know Su Chen's true abilities?
“My fellow elders, seeing is believing, please come to the front line and see for yourself.
Nowadays, most monsters dare not approach our front line of defense.
Ten consecutive days of peace and stability are very common.
The front-line defense may also need to make arrangements for the next step, whether to move forward or something else.
All of this needs to be decided by the elders."
While speaking, Ouyang Chuan also suggested to several elders that they go to the front line to take a look.
You can tell whether it is true or false at a glance.
And speaking of the defense moving forward.
These words made many people present excited.
For so many years, Tiangang City has been struggling to defend itself and has never thought about advancing the front line.
Master Shangxuan, who was sitting in the high seat in the middle, nodded and agreed with this.
“I have also received a lot of news from the Yunyang Sect recently.
At the beginning of spring, the Yunyang Sect had already contracted their defense line and moved the entire line backwards.
The latest news is that they are in deep trouble.
The current situation of our Tiangang City is just like the situation of Yunyang Sect before. The monsters dare not even get close to our front line.
This seems to further prove Su Chen's ability."
As Master Shangxuan spoke, he turned around and looked at the others.
“With the Yunyang Sect’s lesson in mind, Tiangang City must ensure that only the most capable people take up the responsibilities. We cannot make similar mistakes again.
In addition, we should give full credit to Su Chen for his contributions and not deduct any of it.
Regardless of whether he was greedy for merit in Yunyang Sect or not, we in Tiangang City should deal with the matter at hand and not involve past events."
Everyone around nodded.
Su Chen was able to help Tiangang City solve so many current problems, and these are what Su Chen deserves.
Tiangang City is not like Yunyang Sect. As long as you can find other people to follow, you can form a team of your own.
There is a world of difference between this and the appointed leading disciples of the Yunyang Sect.
During the conversation, the second elder on the side sighed a little.
“The only drawback is that Su Chen’s talent for cultivation seems to be rather ordinary.
Even though he won the competition, he still seemed to be a little short.
If he is even better, the sect can focus on training him."
Ouyang Chuan didn't know how to refute the Second Elder's words.
From the current perspective, the cultivation talent displayed by Su Chen is indeed ordinary.
Disciples of the same age as Su Chen who are slightly talented have already entered the seventh-grade Huaigu realm.
However, Su Chen still remained at the eighth level of Essence Refining, which was not yet perfect.
On the side, Master Shangxuan also thought of this problem.
“No matter what, Su Chen did make many contributions.
We will still give him the status of a direct disciple, and the relevant treatment will also be arranged according to that of a direct disciple.
After Su Chen takes the mid-year test, we will see how to train him."
After Ouyang Chuan finished reporting to the elders, he came out of the side hall and immediately went to find Ji Sheng.
What he did was naturally about Su Chen.
Following Ji Sheng, students' abilities will only continue to decline.
His attitude towards his disciples has always been indifferent.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Chuan wanted more and more to transfer Su Chen to his own command.
Although he was the one who drove Su Chen away personally before.
But now, even if he was slapped in the face, he still wanted to get Su Chen back.
