Chapter 1029

The Elder Hall Master stands up for LC.
From the Phoenix Cry Empire, the 108th monastery, the thirty-sixth supermonastery, and then the Eastern Wasteland's branch sect, he had already seen through these kinds of unspoken rules. He was aware that before he stabilized his own footing, the most important thing was to find a reliable backer. The Elder Hall was his best option now.
Law Enforcement Hall Master Luo Fan was even more infuriated, as he was slapped in the face once more.
"Hua Shiyu, Hu Guishan, Fan Song, Wang Zhen, Que Xinyan... and Long Chen, come forth and receive your new robes and badges." Li Changfeng paused for a moment before saying Long Chen's name. Long Chen couldn't believe his ears.
"What?! Didn't he fail?!" Han Yunshan was the first to cry out.
"What's going on? He clearly failed, so why does he get a core disciple spot? Liu Cang, what do you think you're doing?!" roared the Law Enforcement Hall Master. The Liu Cang he spoke of was the Elder Hall Master.
"I'm not doing anything. Long Chen has met the criteria to be a core disciple," said Liu Cang lightly.
"Liu Cang, give me your reason," said the Xuan Master.
Liu Cang also bowed and said, "Reporting to Xuan Master, the trial is just a kind of formality. We can't lose a genius because we are stuck adhering to the convention. The main goal of the trial is not to test the core disciples' power or potential, but their leadership capabilities. The reason the Dao Sect spends so much to raise its core disciples is because it wishes to raise a genius commander to lead the junior generation.
"Long Chen led the weakest faction with the lowest talent, but all the way to the end, his faction's mortality rate was the lowest. He has a sharp vision, powerful charisma, and great wisdom. Furthermore, even while he was in the core disciple trial, when his faction met with danger, he didn't hesitate to give up the enticement of a core disciple spot to help his faction. This all embodies the elements of a commander."
And with that, they activate the Xuantian Blessing, starting the welcoming ceremony.
