Under the ring.
When Mr. Jun saw Song Ping and Lu Chen coming out together, his tense heart finally relaxed, and he smiled and said hello to Lu Chen.
They began to organize the monks to sit cross-legged to heal their wounds and tidy up the broken tables and chairs in the cabin.
Lu Chen took the sign handed over by Song Ping and felt a little surprised when he saw the words on it.
"Chief Chongxu?" Lu Chen looked at Song Ping and said, "Why are you giving me this? Aren't you Chief Chongxu?"
"No! You are the chief Chongxu now."
Song Ping sighed, looked at Lu Chen and said softly: "Although I don't want to admit it, you have indeed defeated me, so from today on, you are the chief of Chongxu."
"I am the chief of Chongxu? This is absolutely impossible. Although I am a bit greedy for money, I still know that the oldest and the youngest come first."
Lu Chen quickly handed the token in his hand to Song Ping: "There are so many senior brothers in front of me. I have just started. It is against the rules to give me this token."
"There is nothing against the rules. The age of a monk is often measured in hundreds of years. It is not that important in the world of cultivation."
"On the contrary, it is natural strength. Strength is respected everywhere. Only those with strong strength are qualified to become senior brothers."
Song Ping looked at the monks under the ring and said, "I am now a member of the God-killing Team, so I don't need this identity anymore."
"Originally, the token is passed down, and the secondary disciples must go through layers of battles to prove their strength to the academy disciples."
"However, this process is no longer necessary."
"In the arena battle just now, you have already challenged half of the disciples of Chongxu Academy. Now you have defeated me in front of everyone. You have been able to prove your strength."
"But..., this is really against the rules, and..."
Lu Chen looked at the token and was very hesitant. He joined Fengtian Mansion and never thought about becoming the chief of Chongxu. He just wanted to practice mainland knowledge in Fengtian Mansion and then immediately set off to find his grandfather.
"But my destiny is that I will not stay in Fengtian Mansion for a long time." Lu Chen raised his head and looked at Song Ping, and forced the token to Song Ping.
"It's better to return this sign to you. When we return to the sect, you can give it to other senior brothers."
The monks under the ring noticed the two men's actions, stopped what they were doing, and began to discuss, wanting to see how things would develop.
Song Ping waved his hand to the audience, signaling everyone to be quiet, and threw the sign to Lu Chen again.
Then he turned to Lu Shen and continued: "Haha, of course I know this. Your Excellency has already told me in private."
"Uncle Jun told you??"
Lu Chen glanced at Jun Wudi and recalled what Master Jun said before: "Is this what Uncle Jun meant by giving me the sign?"
"Yes, this is what my lord means. You should have heard about my past."
Song Ping glanced at Jun Wudi. As he turned around, the corners of his mouth twisted upwards unconsciously, and then quickly calmed down.
"My Lord has no children. As my first disciple, you can be considered as half a descendant, so..."
Song Ping stretched out his hand and patted Lu Chen on the shoulder: "That's why my lord has assigned you an identity, that is, Chief Chongxu."
"Arrange identity?"
Lu Chen looked at Song Ping with a strange look and continued to ask, "That's not necessary. I am Lu Chen and I don't need another identity."
"Wrong, very wrong."
Song Ping looked at Lu Chen, as if he was cheating, and shook his head: "Your current status does not have any family background at all. This is a very bad thing."
"Your future must be in the center of the continent. You must have a reasonable identity in order to be on an equal footing with the disciples of the famous family."
"This is what your lord really means, and this is also the meaning of this battle." Song Ping pointed at the monks in the audience, turned away and said quietly: "If you don't believe me, ask them."
"Are you telling the truth?"
Lu Chen glanced at the monks under the ring and found that the monks under the ring had been staring at him, as if they were looking forward to him becoming the chief of Chongxu.
"of course it's true."
Song Ping pulled Lu Chen and said seriously: "Originally, I wanted you to establish your authority first and then give you the token when you are strong. But the talent you have shown is too strong, so I can only give it to you now."
Song Ping looked around and said with a serious face: "Now you should know what the identity of Chief Chongxu means to you."
"Since Uncle Jun said it, I'll accept it first."
Lu Chen put the token into his arms, looked at Song Ping and said, "But when I want to leave, or a more suitable person appears in Chongxu Academy, I will continue to pass the token on."
"Hahaha, that's fine. But there won't be anyone more suitable than you."
"From today on, you, Lu Chen, are the senior brother of Chongxu Academy."
"Why are you so anxious? At least there must be a ceremony." Lu Chen looked at Song Ping's anxious look, and suddenly couldn't turn his head and was stunned on the spot.
"This is not important. If you want a sense of ceremony, you can make up for it later."
"Song Ping, meet Senior Brother Lu."
Song Ping held his hands in front of him, bowed his hands, and spoke louder, as if giving a signal to the monks in the audience.
The monks under the ring noticed Song Ping's movements and words, and instantly understood that Lu Chen was already the chief of Chongxu.
More than two hundred people all bowed to Lu Chen.
"Why are you so stunned?"
Song Ping stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Lu Chen's eyes: "Junior brother needs to salute when meeting senior brother, and senior brother also needs to return the gift. This is also an unwritten rule in the cultivation world."
Seeing that Lu Chen was still in a daze, Song Ping reached out and patted Lu Chen on the shoulder: "Hurry up and return the greeting, the junior brothers are still waiting for you."
"Ah good."
Lu Chen looked at the monks under the ring and realized that the group of people below had been saluting for a long time.
Lu Chen quickly returned the greeting with his hands raised: "Hello, fellow juniors."
"Hello, Senior Brother Lu. Congratulations to Senior Brother Lu for becoming the Chief of Chongxu." Seeing Lu Chen return the gift, the monks in the audience returned the gift at the same time.
Master Jun looked at Lu Chen's appearance, smiled slightly, and led the monks to chant Lu Chen's name.
"Senior Brother Lu has really become the chief of Chongxu. With his talent and strength, it seems that our Chongxu is really going to rise."
"We will definitely not be bullied by other academies anymore, and the adults' injuries will also recover. We, Chongxu, will definitely become the first of the six academies."
"Hahaha, yes, yes, the head of the academy."
"..."
During the military invincible formation, this group of monks had figured out the reasons for many things.
Seeing Lu Chen's amazing talent and strength, they also hope that Lu Chen can succeed Song Ping and become the next chief of Chongxu.
Lu Chen heard the discussion of the monks in the audience, and suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart, and doubted Song Ping's motive for giving him the token.
"Brother Song, why do I feel like this is a trap? Uncle Jun never told me what they were talking about."
"What the hell? Were you discovered so soon?"
Song Ping touched his head and laughed awkwardly: "Hahaha, I thought it would take a while before you would know the truth."
"My lord does not want you to be the chief of Chongxu now, but if you defeat me, you are qualified to be the chief of Chongxu, and you have already agreed."
Song Ping smiled strangely at Lu Chen, pointed at the monks under the ring and said, "With so many people watching, will you regret it again? This is very embarrassing!"
"You..., you actually lied to me?"
Looking at Song Ping's smile, Lu Chen couldn't hold back his breath. He looked at Song Ping's back and shouted, "Although I broke your gun, you don't have to retaliate against me like this."
"Hahaha, you broke my gun, I will definitely not be convinced."
"Who made you be careless! Who is to blame if you suffer a loss? And the fact that the Lord did not stop me from doing this means that he has already agreed."
As Song Ping was talking, he suddenly looked at Lu Chen with a serious face: "But what I said is absolutely from the heart. You really need an identity, an identity that can be on an equal footing with the disciples of the aristocratic family."
"Oh, okay."
Lu Chen let out a long sigh: "Anyway, I can't regret it now, but I don't think this is the real reason."
"I am already Uncle Jun's closed disciple. This status is much more shocking than any other chief disciple. Please tell me your true purpose."
"Um..., the real purpose?"
Song Ping looked at Lu Chen and said with a smile: "I hope you can be a good leader of Chongxu, and I hope you can hold on to Chongxu's resources in this year's sect trial."
"What do you mean? Why is there still a sect trial? This is your real purpose, right? There is something else you haven't said yet."
Lu Chen quickly caught up with Song Ping and asked, "Xiao Junzi said that Uncle Jun forbids fighting, and only those who rush into Xu Academy will be robbed of resources, but he didn't mention any trials."
"Second Young Master?"
Song Ping walked up to the frost dragon, took the chain handed over by Feng Long, and gently touched the frost dragon's head. The frost dragon instantly became calm.
"Second Young Master, this is his first time here. He doesn't know everything comprehensively. His real purpose is..."
"Lu Chen, you are an idiot."
The wind dragon hovered above Lu Chen's head, and the spiritual energy radiated from his body, slowly dissipating in everyone's eyes: "What he threw to you like a disaster, it will definitely not be a good thing."
Lu Chen listened to Feng Long's mocking voice, and suddenly realized that what Song Ping said next was not something nice to hear.
"Since you have discovered that there is a problem, I won't hide it from you. The situation in Chongxu Academy is not optimistic."
Song Ping kept stroking the frost dragon, and while Jun Wudi was still forming formation, he began to introduce the situation of the academy to Lu Chen.
"Because resources have been deprived for a long time, most of the disciples couldn't bear it and switched to other academies."
"Now there are only more than 300 people left in Chongxu Academy. They are basically civilians who have received favors from adults, and their qualifications are not very good."
"The top ten in other academies will all be in the Qi-lowering realm at the end. Even the disciples in some academies are close to the high-level Qi-lowering level, while the remaining disciples are basically at the intermediate level of breath regulation and up."
"Only the disciples of Chongxu Academy are always at the bottom in terms of cultivation. There are only a few people in the advanced level of breath control, and I am the only one in the Qi-lowering realm, but I have to leave."
"This shit is a mess."
When Lu Chen heard Song Ping's description, he shouted instantly: "You can't solve it by lowering your Qi even at one level. You want me to solve it by adjusting your breath at one level?"
