( Ch 19 )

THE MATCH HAD ENDED , AS ONLY THE LAST 4 PEOPLE WERE LEFT ON THE STAGE .

THE 3RD ELDER ANNOUNCED THAT THESE TOP 4 DISCIPLES ARE ELIGIBLE TO CHOSE ANY OUTER ELDER THEY WISH TO FOLLOW .

THE ELDER WAS JUST ABOUT TO TELL THEM ABOUT THE ADVANTAGES THAT THEY WILL RECEIVE IF THEY FOLLOW AN ELDER THAT SOMEONE SHOUTED.

" I am not convinced "

IT WAS NONE OTHER THAN WEN SHAO WHO SHOUTED THIS SENTENCE.

1st ELDER : What are you not convinced about ?

WEN : I don't acknowledge that he deserves to be placed in top 4 .

3rd ELDER ON HEARING THIS GETS ANGRY AND INCREASES HIS PRESSURE.

WEN GETS PINNED DOWN AND COUGHS UP BLOOD ON THE STAGE MEANWHILE THE 3RD ELDER COMES DOWN AND STANDS IN FRONT OF HIM.

3RD ELDER: Who do you think you are? Who asked for your opinion ?

THE OTHER ELDERS ALSO CAME DOWN AND TRIED TO CALM THE 3RD ELDER DOWN .

5TH ELDER : Don't pressure the junior , let's ask him why he said that .

THE 3RD ELDER REMOVED HIS PRESSURE AND TOOK A STEP BACK .

3RD ELDER : Tell us , why you are not convinced ?

WEN GOT UP STAGGERING AND BROUGHT HIS HANDS TOGETHER AS IF GREETING THE ELDERS .

WEN : I just think that he used cheap method of fighting and knocking people that were weaker than him . Giving someone that manipulates the loop hole shouldn't be given the rewards .

THOUGH EVERY ELDER KNEW HOW WEN TRIED TO MANIPULATE THINGS EVERYTIME HE COULD DURING THE COMPETITION BUT THEY STILL CHOSE TO IGNORE HIM , BUT NOW SEEING HIM POINT OUT TO OTHERS REALLY MADE THEM LOSE THEIR INTEREST IN HIM. THE 3RD ELDER WAS GOING TO DENY HIS OBJECTION BUT HE WAS AGAIN INTERRUPTED BY THE 5TH ELDER .

5TH ELDER : So WEN , how do you propose we fix this ?

WEN : ( Smiles ) Make him duel with me .

THE OTHER ELDERS COULD ALSO SEE THAT THE 5TH ELDER WAS CLEARLY SIDING WITH WEN , BUT THEY COULDN'T TELL WHY .UNTIL SUDDENLY THE 1ST ELDER REMEMBERED THAT SURNAME OF 5TH ELDER IS ALSO SHAO .

3RD ELDER : I don't agree to this fight.

THOUGH 3RD ELDER KNEW THAT SUN IS STRONG BUT WEN HAD A HIGHER BODY TEMPERING LEVEL THAN HIM , SO HE DIDN'T WANTED THEM TO FIGHT AS IT WAS NOT IN FAVOUR OF SUN.

SUN ALSO SAW HOW THE 3RD ELDER WAS TAKING HIS SIDES EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH EACHOTHER. A SENSE OF RESPECT FOR THE 3RD ELDER INCREASED IN SUN.

SUN : ( To himself ) I didn't knew someone except my parents will so openly defend me.

SUN CAME FORWARD AND GREETED THE ELDERS.

SUN: I accept the challenge .
