"Matters about the All Peaks Competition? All right," Zen said and nodded. In any case, it would be quite important to understand the strength of the other disciples participating in the upcoming All Peaks Competition.
Meanwhile, in a decent pavilion on the top of Drizzle Peak, six disciples in black robes gathered.
They were the top second to seventh inner disciples from the Drizzle Peak.
The senior disciple, Yehudi, used to be the top first place until Zen outperformed him in the assessment test, and he didn't challenge the latter to win back his rank.
"Yehudi, I do think you have the power to challenge Zen. You are the best amongst all the disciples!" one of them said huffily.
"I agree. Yehudi, you must not let a young boy outrank you. His nature level is only second-grade, while yours is the top grade," another one seconded what the former disciple had said.
"What could be worse than to invite that boy over and discuss the All Peaks Competition with him? As a young boy who has just been promoted to an inner disciple, what qualifications does he have to sit among us?" one more disciple burst out angrily.
Apparently, most of them were not impressed with Zen being the first rank since he was too young.
Although he outperformed everyone in the test, it didn't warrant the disciples' respect towards Zen. For the inner disciples, Zen didn't deserve to be the top first.
According to the rules of the test, the ranking assessment must be carried out in the magic array, and the rankings would be determined by the inner disciples' score.
If an inner disciple was not satisfied with his own ranking, the way to dispute it was to challenge the inner disciple who outranked him.
The ranking would be decided based on the challengers' true strength in the battle ring.
With the previously concluded test, Zen outranked everyone by gaining 55, 000 points. He replaced Yehudi in the top first rank. Now, if Yehudi was not convinced by the result of the test, he could challenge Zen for a retest.
If Yehudi could win the challenge, then there would be no doubt that he deserved the top first rank. Yet, he never launched such challenge.
Yehudi took a sip of the tea, and then said with a smile, "In the Cloud Sect, strength is the most important qualification. Since Zen was able to get a high mark in the assessment, he has proved his strength, thus deserves to sit among us."
Yehudi, 19 years old, was two years older than Zen. His ability to step into the consummation grade of nature level at such a young age was a testament to his great talent.
One genius often tended to welcome another genius' challenge. Compared with the other disciples, Yehudi was obviously more generous.
