Chapter 537 - 228 The Competition Continues! Disciple and Sect Leader! _5
So this little girl, along with the other senior and junior disciples, all directed their gazes at a side-grinning Sect Leader.
His expression was complex.
Is there something wrong with you as the Sect Leader? How did you teach your disciples to be so incompetent? Can you even teach? If you can’t, just admit it, don’t mislead the disciples.
And this Sect Leader... He glanced woefully at Yuchi, and then directly walked away.
The attitude of the sect competition reflects the sect’s demeanor, and the sect’s demeanor is shown through the Sect Leader’s demeanor. So if a sect really doesn’t win a single match, it’s not the disciples who are talked about, it’s mainly the Sect Leader who gets cursed.
The Sect Leader is like a teacher, the disciples like students.
If a class of dozens of people all score very low in exams, then most likely there is an issue with the teacher, maybe they’re not suited for teaching, and need to be persuaded to resign. But if there are some high achievers in the class, then it could be said it’s the students not working hard.
The same principle.
"This guy definitely has issues. Just look at these pitiful disciples, they’ve been conned by him. Where did this fraud come from? Does he really think setting up a sect is just about recruiting disciples?"
"This kind of sect won’t survive long. After this Ascension Gate competition is over, it’s estimated the disciples will leave this sect, and by then this sect might go broke."
"That’s good, saves these disciples from being deceived by such a sect. It can’t be that all eleven matches are against top masters, right?"
Next to Yuchi there are quite a few Sect Leaders, these Sect Leaders have different expressions, most of them showing disdain for this fled Sect Leader.
Among them, some Sect Leaders recognize Yuchi, or perhaps they know Zong Liangqing.
One Sect Leader cast a gaze at Yuchi, standing about ten zhang away from him, he said to another Sect Leader beside him: "Let’s take a look at other people’s Sect Leaders. Even though the disciples lost three matches in a row yesterday, they faced big names like the Purple Gold Sect, so they didn’t lose unjustly. And others won three consecutive matches in the days before."
"Just like our sect, we win some, lose some. Winning more or losing more, it’s no big deal, doesn’t hurt the overall situation."
"But if all matches are lost, then what’s the point in participating in the Ascension Gate competition? Just coming to embarrass themselves?"
While this Sect Leader spoke, the other Sect Leader beside him nodded in agreement:
"Friend, what’s your sect’s current win rate?"
"About forty percent, and yours?"
"Also roughly forty percent."
"That’s not bad for a first competition. Having a forty percent win rate is fine, just have to focus on disciples’ growth for the next thirty-three years."
"Yes, so which sect is this Red-clothed Sect Leader from, do you know?"
"No idea, but why do you ask? Are you interested in this Sect Leader? If so, I’d advise you to be cautious. I’ve noticed many women staring at this Sect Leader multiple times, might be so many secretly wanting a piece of him."
"Not me! Besides, I’m a man..."
"Men sometimes have those preferences too, after all, this young Sect Leader looks rather pleasing to me as well."
Sect Leader: Damn! You shameless thing when you talk, you might as well have a hose stuffed into your mouth with water turned on, making your lungs float away!
Lungs floating away? So fierce... Yuchi couldn’t understand the other Sect Leaders’ little thoughts, he watched Feng Dongran run up to him excitedly, and he couldn’t help but praise, "Nicely done, just keep fighting like that. If you can win, win. If not, then it’s a loss, no disgrace."
Thanks for Sect Leader Senior Brother’s praise... Feng Dongran: "I will keep working hard!"
"Yes, do your best!"
The weakest isn’t the senior apprentice sister; now it looks like the weakest is me. Xu Feiling kind of wants her junior sister to win, but on the other hand, kind of wants her to lose a match just to accompany her.
Down the drain... A certain demonic twin-tailed lolita thinks Xu Feiling’s words are wonderful, and offers heartfelt comfort and agreement.
...
The first round ended, and now Ascension Gate has won four matches and lost three. Overall, they won a match, but since Feng Dongran’s cultivation level was not strong, currently only at the first level of Qi Cultivation Realm, the points added are pitiful, so at this moment Yuchi didn’t bother to check Ascension Gate’s ranking.
There’s no need.
Going with the flow.
In the afternoon, when the disciples were celebrating, Yuchi wandered out for a stroll, went to the seaside to have a look, and after confirming there were no big snakes in the sea, he went to the inn to listen to idle chatter.
In the inn, the Sect Leaders who can still show their faces and speak are mostly those who have both losses and wins. All the Sect Leaders who lost all matches by now have no face to come out.
After all, Sect Leader and disciples are different.
No matter how weak a disciple is, it only affects them individually, small impact, doesn’t affect others. But if the Sect Leader is weak, it affects the whole sect, all members are screwed over.
This places more pressure on Sect Leaders than disciples. The Ascension Gate competition is meant to be Ascension Gate competition, not "disciples competition", it’s a battle between sects, testing if the Sect Leader of a sect is a reliable presence.
