Chapter 333 Huge Audience
Before this upcoming quarter match, Elder Song\'s Imprint faction had won the majority of the matches between the two factions. This was also the main reason why they currently seemed so unstoppable.
Hence, Elder Lo could only place his hopes on winning the upcoming match to stop their streak, because if they were allowed to continue winning, it would be a deadly blow to the morale of Elder Lo\'s Alchemy faction.
Moreover, when news of this spreads, the other peaks will look down even more on Alchemic Rune Peak\'s alchemy faction, and believe them to be useless, causing no one to even pity them if they end up being replaced.
This was why Elder Lo really did not want to lose the upcoming quarter-match.
***
After several days of anticipation, the day of the quarter-match finally arrived.
On one of the mountains in Alchemic Rune Peak was an enormous quarter deep in a cave. Runes flickered at the entrance to the cave, forming a barrier that sealed it.
Even so, extremely pure and vigorous spiritual energy still managed to seep out from the quarter, making the greenery at its entrance appear even more vibrant than normal. This was obviously a diamond quarter.
Outside the quarter was a steep cliff surrounded by swirling mists. Several giant boulders had been cut and placed upon it, creating a spacious stone stage. This was where the quarter-match would be held.
Very few people would come here in the past, but today, it has become the most bustling place in Alchemic Rune Peak.
Figures continuously streamed in from the sky, landing all around the mountain, making the place appear very crowded, the noisy din from the crowd breaking the usual peace of the area.
Aily was seated in a stone pavilion atop a nearby cliff. Behind her stood a few of his other purple sash disciples.
Outside the pavilion were even more gold belt and silver belt disciples, quite an impressive number of them in total.
Out of nowhere, a lady came and landed beside Aily. "Why are there so many people here today?" The girl had a teacup in his hand, a slightly puzzled look in his eyes as she scanned the surroundings. Many figures were still streaming over at this time.
Moreover, these figures clearly did not belong to Alchemic Rune Peak.
This observation was quite baffling to her. A quarter match like this would at most affect one\'s own peak, and have practically nothing to do with the disciples of the other peaks. So why had so many people come today? Since when had a quarter match of their Alchemic Rune Peak been able to draw so many disciples from the other peaks to watch?
Aily frowned, but said in a gloating manner, "What else can it be? They must be here for Ezra Zephyr."
The girl raised her eyebrows, she was the Inner Mountains disciple of Alchemic Rune Peak. Her name was Paige.
"A few days ago, Elder Rilda from Colleen Evil Peak said in front of everyone that Ezra\'s future prospects were limitless and he may even be able to surpass senior brother Sith Wiggins in the future." Said Aily with a smile, but anyone could hear the sliver of disdain in her voice.
"What status do you think senior brother Sith Wiggins has in the hearts of the numerous disciples? Elder Rilda\'s words would naturally give rise to curiosity and disagreement. Since they\'ve heard that Ezra will be participating in the quarter match today, they will naturally come and see whether or not he is as remarkable as she claimed."
Only then did Paige understand. Looks like the disciples from the other peaks were not here with friendly intent.
If Ezra did not give an amazing performance today, the entire sect would likely soon hear of it. Who knows how much jeering and mockery he would have to face then.
Sith was just too dazzling after all, making it such that even a less-than-extraordinary performance from Ezra Zephyr would instead make him appear incompetent in comparison, even if it would only be incompetent when compared to Sith.
"Elder Rilda shouldn\'t have said that. How can one so casually make such remarks? Even if he had high expectations of Ezra, he would never say such words in public." Said Paige. However, unlike her opposing words, her expressions seemed to be different, she looked happy.
Now that such a crowd had been drawn, they all thought Ezra would definitely be under tremendous pressure.
Although Paige was in the same imprint faction, deep in his heart the former was still leaning towards Elder Lo because the current Imprint faction of Outer Mountains is under the control of outsiders.
There was after all no benefit to Alchemic Rune Peak if Elder Song\'s side were to win another quarter match and suppress Elder Lo\'s faction even more.
Aily, on the other hand, was clearly ignorant of the situation. She placed her arms across her chest and said, "Ezra was asking for it. Stubbornly jumping into the limelight even though he\'s just a new outer mountain disciple, does he really believe he\'s the same as senior brother?
The tallest tree will always be the first to be blown down. Without enough ability, one should try to be a little less prominent, such as to protect oneself."
Anyone could tell that as Sith Wiggins\'s fanatical supporter, Aily was very disapproving of Elder Rilda\'s evaluation. In her opinion, the two were on completely different levels. How could a dullard werewolf from the countryside possibly be compared to senior brother Sith Wiggins who was even famous in the Shiyan continent.
It was only the 8th path and who knew what the future would be. To say Ezra was comparable to Sith based on this achievement alone was truly unconvincing.
As such, Aily strongly believed that after the quarter match, Elder Rilda\'s high praise of the prince would instead become the same material used to ridicule him. In fact, it may even become akin to a boulder placed upon Ezra\'s shoulders, making him unable to raise his head.
