Grand Selections (4)

The black shell covering him exploded into pieces and next second a smiling face of Mu Chen once again came out from between all that black smoke absolute unfazed

"Well that wasn't funny..."

The Grand Elders were left stunned and next moment Fang Huan commented

"That's quite a resistance, I have never seen react so violently inside an illusion like this..."

Hearing his words Divination Sage Shen Qiqiang shook his head in denial and explained

"The Astral Orb of Fate forms illusions targeting the weakest emotions and fear of a person, your cultivation doesn't matter as it affects the mental fortitude to check the character and morality of a person, after going through illusion a person is mentally shaken and shows emotions like sadness, despair or greed"

Zhong Jie, the female Grand Elder looked towards him in surprise and questioned

"But he just reacted violently in resistance, are you saying he wasn't even affected?"

Shen Qiqiang once again shook his head in denial and explained

"He was indeed affected by illusion but, his 'Pride' is too strong for any illusion to have any effect over him... whatever he saw in illusion, his pride didn't accept it so he just broke open the illusion with sheer pride

He is just a monster with endless pride and strength, talent and incredible potential to back it all up!"

As Shen Qiqiang said his words other two Grand Elders were left stunned with goosebumps all over their body as they stared at Mu Chen as if they were watching some monster in wild

'Even I don't dare say I have such pride...'

'All Immortals and talented people have pride over themselves but I never have seen an arrogant pride that will just destroy whatever it sees if his pride doesn't accept...'

Mu Chen was only one to come out of his illusion, he had broken the illusion almost instantly and as Mu Chen moved his gaze around he noticed the voices of other disciples

"Kwagh!"

"N-no! I didn't! It wasn't my fault!"

"Hehehe... So many resources! Hahahaha!"

"Of course! I'm the Heir after all! Praise me! Praise me hahahaha!!!"

Most have already fallen into the trap of illusion, some in despair, some in greed or some in just mere pain of illusion

'Petty bastards losing to mere fake illusions and they cultivate to gain absolute strength?'

Mu Chen just scoffed seeing these faces and after a few minutes Mu Chen noticed the Core Disciples were also coming out there black shells unharmed

'Tsk! This illusion is really toying with my pride!'

Hao Meng also clicked his tongue as he came out the black shell but just then his gaze met Mu Chen who was already out of illusion

'Th-this bastard!?! He is already out of illusion!? Before me!!! What kind of artifact did he use!? But anyways, the Grand Elders will kick him out even if he cheated! Heh! Seems like the young master doesn't know the rules here...'

Hao Meng was also lost on his own pride but this was the pride that was going to ruin him in future, he just smirked and with smug face just moved away his face from Mu Chen

And just after a few more minutes various disciples fell over to ground losing to their emotions, the gravitation force was still on increase here by now the weight over them has increased to about 500,000 kg (more than a million pounds)

Hao Meng kept taking a glance at Mu Chen waiting for him to fall but even after a few more minutes passed Mu Chen was still standing with a while, Hao Meng's face kept getting darker and darker and he just clicked his tongue and turned away his face from Mu Chen blatantly looking down on him

"Tsk!"

'Look at this bastard ignoring me like this? Heh! He thinks his arrogance will annoy me? Guess what? It does!'

Mu Chen's face grew a few nerves and next moment his gaze went over to one of disciples lying on ground who was struggling to stand up

"Disciple Brother, you don't need to force yourself too much, life is full of opportunities as an Immortal you can always earn a chance to show off again in future, struggling here is a sign of loss, struggling against despair of loss is a sign of hope"

"Brother Mu Chen..."

The disciple was completely stunned by Mu Chen's words and just nodded with a smile releasing deep sigh

"I will follow your suggestion, may luck be by your side"

He gave up on struggling and others who were still struggling on ground also saw that scene and were moved and immediately gave up while thanking Mu Chen

"Disciple Brother Mu Chen is right!"

"We can always compete again in the future"

"It's just not our time!"

"I will train harder in the future to not show this pathetic side again in the future!!!"

Slowly all these struggling people started to give up with smiles and all got transferred outside through the power of space of the artifact, seeing all this everyone else was a little surprised

"Hahaha! As expected of Heir of Ancient Immortal Mu Clan! Indeed good leadership skills"

"Moving others with words seems like he also might have talent in music"

"That's a moral character!"

The Grand Elders didn't hold back from praising Mu Chen but seeing all this in front of him Hao Meng really couldn't swallow it and commented with a scoff targeting all those who just gave up

"Heh! Couldn't even take mere illusions and you want to compete at Grand Celestial Convergence with us?"

As soon as he said Mu Chen's eyes shone like a cute predator whose prey itself has present itself completely defenseless in front of him

'Waah~ such a dirty bastard~ Seems like using one of those good lines I prepared over the last two months wasn't a waste! Now that I have used my honey words! Let's use some poisonous wor-'

"Looking down on others is pathetic when you despite being a Core Disciple couldn't even win against a newbie Inner Disciple!"
