Chapter 209: Two hundred and nine, is this a kidnapping?
"Cough..."
The previously dazed Sixth Elder Su He finally came to his senses under Yun Xiao’s gaze, and after coughing lightly to mask his inner turmoil, he proceeded to announce in a loud voice.
"I declare, this year’s Outer Sect Grand Competition has officially come to an end!"
Su He stealthily glanced at the Great Elders beside him, his loud voice bringing a relative calm to the crowd, then continued, "The two disciples who are promoted to the Inner Sect from this Outer Sect Grand Competition are Yun Xiao and Shen... uh..."
The words Su He intended to say were already formed in his mind, but when he uttered Yun Xiao’s name and tried to continue, he suddenly got stuck. This was because this year’s Outer Sect Grand Competition was quite different from the past ones.
Ever since the founding of the Jade Pot Sect, there has been a tradition of promoting to the Inner Sect through the Outer Sect Grand Competition, with the top two always being clear-cut figures. Even if they end up both being injured in the end, it doesn’t affect their promotion to the Inner Sect.
But what about this session? Yun Xiao goes without saying; his talent and combat strength are clear for all to see, and his promotion to the Inner Sect is well-deserved. However, the situation with Shen Xiao, who also made it to the final battle, is somewhat less clear.
It’s different from previous sessions, where those geniuses were only seriously injured and could recover after some time. Shen Xiao, because of the unknown potent poison inflicted by Yun Xiao, has all the meridians in his torso shattered and can no longer cultivate Meridian Qi.
Moreover, as time goes by, the Meridian Qi that Shen Xiao had cultivated will dissipate day by day, eventually turning him into a cripple, even worse off than an ordinary person.
How could a powerful sect like the Jade Pot Sect take a cripple into the core Inner Sect? Therefore, Su He was quite hesitant and conflicted. This kid Yun Xiao really knows how to cause trouble!
