SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Just when Su Mo was about to accept the offer from that slightly chubby middle-aged elder, there were three sounds penetrated the air, and three figures appeared in front of Su Mo.
The group of three consisted of a buff man in his forties, an old man over 60 years old, and a beautiful lady in her thirties.
“Elder Sun, you react fast!” The old man over 60 years old sneered at the slightly chubby middle-aged man.
The old man then turned to Su Mo and said with a smile, “Mo Su, Elder Sun was only ranked the 80th amongst all the Emperor Xuan Palace elders. He isn’t qualified to be your master. You should join my sect!”
“Huh! Qian, you are shameless. You are just as unqualified as Elder Sun is!”
The buff man scolded before he turned to speak to Su Mo, “Mo Su, you are a martial artist practicing both cultivation and physical strength just like me. I am your ideal master!”
“You should all stop arguing!”
The beautiful lady exclaimed, “You are all unqualified!”
The beautiful lady then looked at Su Mo and said with a gentle smile, “Mo Su, I am ranked 52nd among all the Emperor Xuan Palace Elders, and hence, am ranked above these three here. I am the strongest one for sure. If you’d like, I can be your master!”
At this moment, the middle-aged man who arrived first was livid. He growled, “You are all so shameless. Do you not know the first-come-first-served rule?”
“Is there any rule when it comes to recruiting disciples?”
“I am taking him as a disciple for sure. You three, back off!”
“Funny! I am the most suitable master for Mo Su!”
“...”
The four elders continued to argue over Su Mo.
“Uh...!”
Su Mo was dumbfounded and could only stare at the four quarreling elders in disbelief.
Are these really the experts from the Martial Royal Realm?
How is it that they behave just like haggling old ladies at the market?
Su Mo broke into a sweat. He had only planned to attract attention from the Elders from Emperor Xuan’s Palace, get admitted, and be led to the Inner Palace.
He had not expected to be caught in such a situation.
Now, who should he choose?
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Suddenly, a crackling noise filled the air, signalling the approach of company. Soon, another seven or eight elders arrived at the fighting ring.
“Mo Su, I am going to recruit you as a disciple and promise you the best instruction!”
“Mo Su, all of them already have a couple of disciples. I am the only one who has never accepted anyone. Taking me as your master would mean that you will be my only disciple!”
“Mo Su, I specialize in the spirit of swordsmanship. If you want to achieve something in swordsmanship, I should be your ideal choice!”
“...”
A bunch of elders arrived to offer Su Mo the chance to be their disciple.
Su Mo’s mouth twitched incessantly. Who on earth should I pick?
Below the fighting ring, countless disciples were also stunned into silence as they looked on at the Sect elders whom they rarely see.
These Sect Elders used to be carry themselves with dignity and were rarely in the public eye. But now, they behaved just like rats fighting for the last grain of rice.
Are these still experts of the Martial Royal Realm?
The crowd looked on in astonishment.
Su Mo’s fights not only shocked the Outer Palace disciples, but also greatly surprised those elders.
The Martial Royal Realm elders would not doubt Su Mo’s cultivation, since they could easily tell Su Mo was at Lv 6 True Darkness Realm, given their strength.
The fact that Su Mo could possess this level of combat strength at only Lv 6 True Darkness Realm was pretty impressive. Throughout hundreds of years of history of Emperor Xuan’s Palace, only Holy Son Shangguan Hao was comparable to Su Mo.
Although Su Mo didn’t possess special body constitutions and could likely have less potential than Shangguan Hao, for these elders, Su Mo was talented enough to be called a legendary youth.
Who, among these elders, doesn’t want such a talented disciple!
“Don’t you try to compete with me!”
“Huh, I am taking him for sure!”
“You shameless people. I have never had any disciple. Today I finally met a decent one, and you all want to interfere!”
The group of more than a dozen elders refused to back down.
Su Mo was completely speechless. What on earth is this? I am so desired by these elders!
“How about this? Let’s stop arguing, and let Mo Su decide for himself!”
“I agree!”
“Ok! Let Mo Su choose!”
“...”
The elders eventually stopped bickering and turned to Su Mo. They were going to let him decide for himself.
The elders realised Mo Su’s own will mattered more than what they personally wanted.
“Mo Su, who would you like to take as your master?” The elders asked, looking intently at Su Mo.
“Uh...!”
Su Mo was at a loss as he unfamiliar with the elders. He did not know who to choose!
Su Mo frowned slightly as his gaze swept over the dozen or so elders. If only there was only one elder willing to take him. He would accept the offer immediately.
But now that he had options, he would definitely pick the most suitable one to be his master.
After all, a good master would be helpful during his time within Emperor Xuan’s Palace.
Although his stay at Emperor Xuan’s Palace was temporary and for an unstipulated period of time, it was still better that he make his decision carefully.
The disciples gathered at the bottom of the fighting looked on with a mix of envy and astonishment.
This included Ouyang Xiao, the best of the Outer Palace.
Becoming a disciple of an elder from the Martial Royal Realm was every disciple’s dream, but it seemed to elude them.
Those highly-ranked elders would never notice them.
However, those same highly-respected elders were behaving so shamelessly, without regarding their status, just to take Mo Su in as a disciple!
The crowd was speechless, and everyone felt slightly upset.
The one thing that they couldn’t even dream of getting had been so easily given to Su Mo! He even had options!
What a disparity!
Comparisons were odious!
On the stage.
Su Mo studied the elders, who all wore eager expressions. He was unable to make a decision.
Short after, Su Mo made up his mind. Oh who cares! Just pick one!
After all, the purpose was to get into the Inner Palace and not really to study under any master. Picking a random elder to be a disciple of would make no difference for him.
Su Mo took a deep breath and turned to one of the elders.
Right when he was about to speak up, a grey figure appeared in the sky. It was a thin old man.
The old man donned a gray robe and took his time strolling towards the fighting ring with his hands folded behind his back.
Su Mo turned to look at the old man in the gray robe. When he saw his face, he was utterly blown away.
