Chapter 217: Chapter 153: Battle of the 6th Rank, Gumo’s Praise, Seal of Brilliance!_2

"Senior Sister... we are willing to concede!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the students of the Life Factions were in an uproar.

"Senior Sister actually won, even against the joint effort of the three senior brothers and sisters!"

"Yes, it can only be said that she truly deserves to be called Senior Sister, emerging victorious despite the close match against three strong opponents of the same realm!"

The crowd was extremely excited, and their gazes towards Liu Yao were filled with admiration.

Lu Sheng looked at Liu Yao on the battle platform with a touch of doubt in his eyes.

"Senior Sister... was it really just a narrow victory?"

Lu Sheng was puzzled, having a vague sense that Liu Yao might have held back during the competition.

But this feeling was so elusive that Lu Sheng wasn’t sure if his perception was correct.

Even so...

Lu Sheng squinted his eyes slightly, "Senior Sister didn’t even use the Giant Divine Soldier and still defeated Senior Brother Yang Zhenyun and the others."

"If my perception is accurate, Senior Sister’s strength... is far above that of the three senior brothers and sisters!"

Lu Sheng thought quietly.

With Yang Zhenyun and the others conceding, Liu Yao ultimately achieved victory, retaining her position as Senior Sister.

On the high platform, Gumo smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by the result.

"This Life Factions’ Great Competition... ends here!"

Gumo’s voice spread throughout the audience.

Everyone bowed respectfully towards Gumo.

"We respectfully follow the teacher’s command!"

Gumo nodded slightly and then turned his gaze to Liu Qian, saying, "Liu Qian, you’ve just broken through to the sixth tier, and your mind is restless. From now on, you’ll follow Liu Yao to the Research Factions for training to temper your character!"

"Ah?"

Liu Qian’s face revealed a look of reluctance upon hearing this.

She glanced at Liu Yao, who remained extremely calm, and her reluctance grew stronger.

But faced with Gumo’s words, Liu Qian couldn’t refuse. After struggling internally, she reluctantly said, "Yes."

Gumo naturally sensed Liu Qian’s reluctance but did not say anything, merely smiling and shifting his gaze to locate Lu Sheng in the audience.

"You... are very impressive!"

Gumo smiled at Lu Sheng and then disappeared from the high platform.

The students of the Life Factions were even more surprised and envious upon hearing Gumo’s praise for Lu Sheng.

"Did I hear that right? The teacher actually said Lu Sheng is very impressive!"

"Hiss! Lu Sheng received the teacher’s favor, that’s more agonizing than killing me!"

"Yes, if I could gain the teacher’s favor, even breaking through to the sixth tier and becoming a senior brother would be worth it!"

"You brat..."

Voices rose from all around.

"Lu Sheng! Did you hear? The teacher actually praised you!"

Du Bai beside him was even more excited, shaking Lu Sheng’s shoulder vigorously as if he had received Gumo’s praise himself.

Faced with the enthusiastic Du Bai, Lu Sheng blinked and said, "I heard, so what?"

Du Bai’s smile froze instantly.

Goodness, how can he still act nonchalant?

At this moment, Liu Yao’s voice spread throughout the audience.

"Now, distributing rewards for the faction competition..."

"The top hundred will receive Gumo’s Martial Arts Token!"

With these words, Liu Yao gently stirred the void with her slender hand, causing ripples to appear.

Soon, tokens resembling white jade descended from the sky, falling accurately into the hands of each student in the top hundred.

Lu Sheng received his Martial Arts Token.

Du Bai beside him spoke enviously, "Gumo’s Martial Arts Token, it contains Gumo’s True Intent of Martial Arts, almost equivalent to receiving personal guidance from Gumo."

Lu Sheng smiled slightly, his gaze towards the Martial Arts Token becoming more fervent.

As Du Bai said, the token contained Gumo’s True Intent of Martial Arts, and upon activation, it would last for a month.

During that month, Lu Sheng could bring up all his questions and seek advice on martial arts.

This True Intent instruction was no different from Gumo providing personal teaching.

"As the seventh-tier mentor of the Life Factions, it’s impossible for Gumo to personally instruct all members of the top hundred, given his many responsibilities."

"This Martial Arts Token is convenient and greatly beneficial for me!"

Lu Sheng smiled slightly and stored away the token.

The last time he attended Gumo’s lecture, even though it was only a week long and for the whole Life Factions, he benefited immensely.

This time, with one-on-one instruction, Lu Sheng’s progress might soar even higher!

As the rewards were distributed, countless students looked on with envy, knowing they had no share in it, and gradually left.

Just as Lu Sheng and Du Bai were preparing to leave, two figures appeared before them.

It was none other than Senior Sister Liu Yao and Third Senior Brother Kong Linghui.
