Faced with these people's nonsense, Xiao Feng neither refuted nor admitted anything.
He just looked at them with a "let's have a good show" attitude, and from time to time gave them a mocking smile, which made them furious.
However, Xiao Feng openly stated that he was unwilling to change the already decided list.
Furthermore, this list has already been approved by the sect leader.
If the sect leader hadn't agreed, he certainly wouldn't have dared to announce it so directly.
So even the sect leader didn't say anything, why are they spouting so much nonsense?
Their abilities aren't strong enough to influence the outcome of this competition.
If they don't achieve good results in this competition, it's only because their sect isn't among the top sects.
They won't benefit from the good, and naturally, they won't bear the bad either.
"Think about it, if you participate in this competition but the result is still unsatisfactory, will you then say that it's all my fault as the team leader?"
"It's because I'm not strong enough that I can't lead my fellow disciples to achieve this good result. Anyway, when things go well, it's because you guys are great, and when things don't go well, it's because I can't lead the team."
"You've said all the nice things and the mean things, so what can I say? The list has already been published, and I don't have the ability to change it. You should practice and prepare for the next ten-year competition."
After casually finishing his words, Xiao Feng simply told them to get lost.
These people wanted to reason with Xiao Feng through their actions, but they were no match for him.
In the end, they were all driven out of their residences by Xiao Feng.
Frustrated, these people then took the matter to the elders and sect leader.
Let them deal with Xiao Feng's actions.
However, none of the elders dared to come and cause trouble for Xiao Feng.
After all, the sect leader had already told them about this before.
Left with no other choice, they could only wait and see what the sect leader's attitude was.
However, the sect leader believed that Xiao Feng had his own ideas and ignored their rebuttals.
The main reason is that their Qingzong sect wasn't ranked very high to begin with.
The reason for adding Xuantian Sect is simply to avoid being kicked out in the end by those sects that deliberately stick together for warmth.
If you can't compete for the top spot, staying in the middle is still a good option.
Compared to Xiao Feng, these disciples were not even worthy of his attention.
He didn't want this incident to make Xiao Feng think that he didn't believe in Xiao Feng's abilities.
What surprised Xiao Feng most during this selection process was that Lu Xue'er also signed up to participate.
They also inquired about Xiao Feng's evaluation criteria.
As a result, before the selection and assessment began, Xiao Feng immediately added Lu Xue'er to the final team without saying a word.
Lu Xue'er hesitated.
Although she was the Grand Elder's personal disciple, it didn't mean that outsiders wouldn't criticize her after learning the outcome.
They might even say they got in through connections or something.
"My strength is indeed convincing enough, but if I don't pass the test, they'll definitely cause chaos in the sect if they find out, so I'd better not."
Hearing Lu Xue'er say that, Xiao Feng rolled his eyes, speechless at how rigid Lu Xue'er was.
He said bluntly, "There's no need for that. I know your strength. We've fought side by side before. Although you may sometimes be a bit too kind, you do meet my evaluation criteria in all aspects."
"I just feel there's no need to waste time. Think about it, if those sect disciples see you at the assessment site, won't their confidence be shaken?"
"The reason I didn't let you participate was to save face for them. After all, anyone who faces you is bound to lose. But what if that person was originally supposed to participate in this competition?"
"What if some of the stronger ones are just unlucky enough to run into you and lose to you? Wouldn't that mean they have no reason to participate in this assessment again?"
"So, based on your abilities, you don't need to go through the assessment to participate. Don't waste your time here. Why don't you come with me and see the results of the assessment and selection?"
Faced with Xiao Feng's twisted logic, Lu Xue'er felt relieved.
She really didn't want to participate in any assessment, but she was quite curious about the assessment content that Xiao Feng had arranged.
After participating in the entire assessment alongside Xiao Feng, she felt somewhat bewildered by the tests he had set up.
"This first test is a trap array that tests the disciples' speed and strength. Will it be dangerous to send them through it?" Lu Xue'er hadn't expected Xiao Feng to be able to come up with something like this.
All the disciples who had registered entered the magic array, and then the process was activated.
For each individual, there will be speed and strength tests tailored to their level of cultivation and techniques.
For those with strong defenses, the focus will be on testing their defensive capabilities.
Xiao Feng's standards weren't too high, but he required that speed or strength not be the only focus.
A balance must be struck between the two sides; even someone who is useless in physical skills still needs to have a certain level of strength.
Those who achieve good results can stay.
Those who don't even achieve a passing grade will naturally be eliminated.
Faced with this novel way of playing, all the disciples were completely baffled.
Moreover, their scores are not given on the spot.
Instead, Xiao Feng's side made a comprehensive judgment based on the time it took them to break out of the formation and their performance within it.
This first round alone has already eliminated nearly half of the disciples.
Then came a test on identifying various monsters.
Although the test covered knowledge points, unfortunately, illiteracy was widespread in the cultivation world, so most of the disciples who passed the first test did not pass the second test.
Nearly two-thirds of them were eliminated.
However, quite a few disciples signed up for this competition.
So many people were eliminated, but nearly fifty people still made it to the third and final round!
This last level is the easiest one.
Xiao Feng posed some questions about morality, which his disciples then answered.
It's not that we expect everyone to be of high moral character.
But at the very least, as a righteous person, you can't sacrifice innocent people to achieve your own ends.
It was precisely because Xiao Feng had previously witnessed the ugly and vicious faces of those within the sects.
In addition, the Second Elder's previous methods had indeed left a shadow in his heart.
Therefore, he did not want any such bad apples in his team.
Of course, there is absolutely no possibility of cheating in the third level.
Xiao Feng concocted a pill that would make people reveal their true feelings simply by smelling its fragrance.
Therefore, the answer to the third question must be their most honest answer from the bottom of their hearts.
