Chapter 71 Arrogance
"Alkaid," Zong Yan couldn't help but call out.
He truly didn't want to see Alkaid come into conflict with the Rebirth Society.
Yet he also understood Alkaid's concerns.
The Xie Family Manor was clearly a trap, which proved...
There were indeed problems within the Rebirth Society.
His reluctance to go to the headquarters of the Rebirth Society also made sense.
"Stay calm, the chairman will provide a reasonable solution,"
Zong Yan advised softly.
Alkaid glanced at him.
Considering that this old Martial Saint had been busy throughout the journey, working diligently, and had even risked his life to help at Xie Family Manor...
Alkaid reined in the energy that had been locking on to Fang Lu, ready to strike at any moment.
Seeing this, Zong Yan breathed a sigh of relief.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Chairman..."
He then turned his attention to Ji Pingtian.
Meanwhile, Ji Pingtian, sensing the somewhat familiar yet somehow different power emanating from Alkaid compared to the Divine Intent he knew, appeared both complex and hesitant.
After a while, he finally spoke, "Alkaid, your talent is indeed extremely powerful, powerful enough to make everyone bend the rules for you. However, we cannot deny there are many doubts surrounding you, and we must investigate these doubts clearly before we can make a final decision, so you must understand our difficulties..."
"There's something you seem to have misunderstood,"
Alkaid interrupted Ji Pingtian before he could finish.
He looked at this chairman of the Rebirth Society, an absolute high-level individual representing the will of the entire Rebirth Society, "It has never been about me having to join your Rebirth Society, but rather your Rebirth Society inviting me, wanting to use my strength to contend against the Red Star Martial Saint, so..."
He calmly said, "Your difficulties are none of my concern."
"None of your concern?"
Fang Lu couldn't help but look at Ji Pingtian. "Chairman, look at him. He clearly doesn't see himself as a true member of the Rebirth Society, lacking any sense of the bigger picture."
Ji Pingtian ignored Fang Lu, still looking at Alkaid.
"What are you implying?"
"You just need to tell me whether you intend to honor that agreement,"
Alkaid spoke frankly.
Hearing this brusque tone, Ji Pingtian also felt displeased.
Martial Saints, being at the pinnacle of a nation, are honored guests in all countries.
In some smaller countries, the Martial Saints are the very Sea-Calming Divine Needles of the entire nation.
They can even influence the continuation and change of kingship.
Ordinary Martial Saints are already so revered, not to mention someone of his Divine Intent Martial Saint level.
That is truly one of the most top-tier positions in the entire continent.
Even if Alkaid's talent was outstanding and his potential high, those were things of the future.
Now, he owed this elder, the Divine Intent Martial Saint, the proper respect.
As a result, after he set his heart on Alkaid's talent and negotiated kindly, what he got in return was repeated blunt rejections, making it hard for him to maintain his dignity.
What if the Rebirth Society heavily supported him, only to raise an ingrate who was effortlessly poached by Red Star?
"So, what if it is, what if it isn't?"
Ji Pingtian's tone carried a hint of coldness.
"Yes, pay up, no..."
Alkaid pointed to the door, "Don't see me out."
"How dare you!"
Fang Lu couldn't help but step forward again, "How can you talk to our chairman like that?"
"It's unnecessary, really unnecessary,"
Zong Yan, fearing that Alkaid might strike Fang Lu, quickly stepped between them and turned to Ji Pingtian, "Chairman, Alkaid's talent is undoubtedly high, a Martial Saint at nineteen. If he continues to grow, let alone achieving the God Realm, even attaining a Flawless Primordial Chaos body might not be difficult. If he could enter the Artifact Sect...
But was directly interrupted by a wave of Ji Pingtian's hand, "But if you do not have this strength, do not blame me for forcibly taking you back for a proper disciplining."
Such a genius, he could not really let him wander outside.
Otherwise, if he were recruited by Red Star, the Rebirth Society would definitely regret it immensely.
He could still distinguish what was more urgent.
Therefore, defeating him, letting him realize that there are always stronger people and higher heavens out there, then moving him with emotion, guiding him with reason, using both kindness and authority.
Young people, being too arrogant, should rightly have their temper polished.
After tempering his temper, he would naturally understand his current sincere intentions.
"Divine Intent Martial Saint."
Alkaid stared straight at this president of the Rebirth Society.
If the next thing he needed to do were to proceed smoothly...
Fighting and subduing the Rebirth Society was indeed a better approach.
"Fight."
Alkaid then extended his hand, "I will let you make the first move, so you cannot accuse me of taking advantage of your weakened state."
"How arrogant."
Ji Pingtian shook his head, "A Divine Intent Martial Saint, compared to an ordinary Martial Saint, might not differ significantly in physical strength, but a Divine Intent Martial Saint, having condensed Divine Intent, has more acute control over his vigor, capable of unleashing more powerful potential, just like a Martial Path master who has practiced painfully for decades and a Martial Path apprentice fresh out of the gates, even if their physiques are identical, in a battle of life and death, the outcomes can be immediately distinguished."
He turned his gaze toward Zong Yan, "I won't take advantage; the records show he excels with the sword, give him one."
Zong Yan hesitated for a moment, but quickly took a sword from someone nearby and tossed it to Alkaid.
"Take the sword, although you are naturally extraordinary and may not fear the technique of Divine Intent, the advantages of a Divine Intent Martial Saint compared to an ordinary Martial Saint are not merely about Divine Intent."
Zong Yan said.
Alkaid caught the sword.
Perhaps to Ji Pingtian, what he pursued was fairness and justice, unwilling to bully the weak.
But to Alkaid...
Self-important delusions.
"President, if Alkaid is a demon, he must have a second form, for safety, please put on your gauntlets and battle garment,"
Fang Lu quickly advised aside.
"No need."
Ji Pingtian said, looking at Alkaid, "Come."
Fang Lu's eyes sparkled.
She silently shifted her position.
This was...
Clearly the most suitable position to intervene in the battlefield.
"Ha!"
Alkaid chuckled softly.
Since Ji Pingtian was so confident...
He would shatter that confidence with the sword in his hand!
The next moment, he struck with his sword.
When he lunged, the strong fighting intent triggered the essence within his body, seemingly pouring all the essence spirit into the blade of the sword.
Man, vigor, spirit, at that moment, merged with the sword in his hand, turning his entire being into a stunning rainbow slicing through the void, directly thrusting at Ji Pingtian.
Not only that, within his body, it seemed as if stars twinkled within each acupoint.
During the twinkling process, the originally used forces for locking his own essence and nourishing his blood were simultaneously activated and burst forth.
Stellar activation!
The forces of blood within each acupoint layered upon one another and finally...
Transformed into a wave overwhelming the seas, along with the terrifying fighting intent and momentum accumulated from slaying more than one Martial Saint level demon, all condensed into this one sword.
When this sword reached Ji Pingtian, the accumulated momentum had already burned to its peak, like a dazzling meteor crossing the void, the terrifying vigor and pressure rolling in. Even Ji Pingtian, priding himself on being a Divine Intent Martial Saint and taking this battle for granted, turned pale.
