"Sixth Elder, please don't be impatient. Let me finish what I have to say."
The Eighth Elder said patiently, "I have always believed that Long Xiu was the best choice to represent our Dragon Clan, but now there is a stronger choice. Are we going to abandon him?"
After a pause, the Eighth Elder glanced at the other elders present and said, "Everyone should know how important this battle for supremacy among all races is to us. Do you want to see a quarter of my dragon race's treasures go to another race?"
All the elders were silent upon hearing this.
The Sixth Elder snorted coldly, "Eighth Elder, do you really think that boy can be as good as Long Xiu? Excluding the crazy Third Elder, Long Xiu has received personal instruction from the other eight elders.
You think such an outstanding person like Long Xiu is not as good as a jerk you brought back from a trip? It's ridiculous!"
"Sixth Elder, if you meet this person, you will understand that what I said is true."
Seeing the Eighth Elder's serious expression, the Great Elder sitting at the head said, "In that case, why don't we go and test the waters together? If this boy is as formidable as the Eighth Elder says, then we might consider replacing him."
"Brother, do we really need to go and see for ourselves? Do you really think that an unknown person can be stronger than the genius carefully cultivated by our dragon clan?
If this is true, doesn't it mean that all of us dragons are useless?"
What the Sixth Elder said was also what most of the elders present were thinking.
Their dragon clan is the leader of all clans and one of the four great clans. It is really hard for them to believe that there is anyone in this world who can compare to him, the genius of the dragon clan.
The Great Elder actually didn't believe it in his heart, but seeing the Eighth Elder's confident look, he felt it was difficult to refute him directly.
After all, their dragon clan leader has been missing for many years, and all matters of the clan, big or small, are controlled by him.
In order to maintain the unity of the entire ethnic group, he must at least be fair on the surface.
Therefore, he did not directly reject the Eighth Elder's proposal.
Thinking of this, the Great Elder stood up and said loudly: "Since that's the case, why don't I, the Dragon Clan's number one prodigy, Long Xiu, compete with this young friend? Whoever wins will represent our Dragon Clan in the battle."
"Brother, do you really think this is necessary?"
The Sixth Elder sneered and shook his head, "Long Xiu is currently in seclusion. If we disturb him for such a small matter, I think it would be a bit of an overreaction.
Long Xiu is the future hope of our dragon clan, but he has no time to focus on such ridiculous things. I think we should let Long Linger test this boy's ability first.
I think letting Long Linger fight is already overestimating Ye Chen."
"Sixth Brother, how can you say that? Don't you believe in my Eighth Brother's character? If this boy wasn't a true peerless genius, why would I travel thousands of miles to bring him back to my Dragon Clan?"
The Eighth Elder's face flushed red as he spoke unhappily.
"Don't be angry, Lao Ba."
The Sixth Elder said with a smile, "You also know that I, your Sixth Brother, am straightforward and like to speak the truth. I don't mean to target you."
"you…"
The Eighth Elder wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the Great Elder beside him: "Stop talking, both of you. There's no point in arguing here. Go get Ling'er."
Soon, a beautiful girl in a blue and white dress and a pearl decoration on her head came skipping into the hall.
"Uncles, are you looking for me?"
The pleasant sound echoed in the hall.
The Eighth Elder smiled and asked, "Ling'er, I feel like your cultivation has improved after not seeing you for a while. You should be entering the Saint Realm soon, right?"
Long Linger nodded lightly, smiling with two dimples, and said, "Thanks to the ball of Heavenly Source Qi prepared for me by the uncles, my cultivation has now far exceeded the peak of the Emperor Realm. I should be considered a half-step Saint Realm. However, I am still far from the Saint Realm. I can't compare with Brother Long Xiu..."
"Your brother Long Xiu is a peerless prodigy that our Dragon Clan hasn't seen in a thousand years. He is naturally powerful, and yet you were able to enter the Half-Step Saint Realm before the age of thirty. You are already an outstanding existence among the four great clans."
The Great Elder smiled and then continued, "I asked you to come here this time because I want you to compete with someone. If you can defeat him, I and the other elders will find a way to get you another ball of Heavenly Source Qi."
When Long Linger heard this, her pretty eyes lit up and she was very happy.
A ball of Tianyuan Qi is the size of a palm. The previous ball of Tianyuan Qi allowed her to step into the Half-Step Saint Realm. If she could get another ball of Tianyuan Qi, then she would really have hope of breaking into the Saint Realm.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly and urgently asked: "Where is that person, is he powerful?"
The Sixth Elder sneered, "He's just an unknown young man with unknown origins. You can easily kill him with a single blow. In fact, this is the benefit your uncle gave you."
"Really, uncle?"
Long Linger looked at the Great Elder with great joy.
This made the Great Elder smile awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
However, the Eighth Elder on the side had a sullen expression on his face and said, "The competition hasn't started yet. Sixth Brother, please don't spread rumors and make Ling'er take it lightly."
"Haha, I'm just telling the truth. Why are you so anxious, Eighth Brother?"
The Sixth Elder said teasingly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to get any kickbacks this time."
These words caused the other elders present to chuckle, and they all looked at the Eighth Elder with a playful look.
They knew the Eighth Elder's character very well. He always liked to take advantage of others. They guessed that this was another bad idea he came up with to cheat the clan of spirit stones.
