Chapter 165: Martial Arts

The crowd nodded, they really couldn't refute it. But the question is, does this have anything to do with the Heavenly Sect's general election? The elders who couldn't figure it out had to wait patiently for the rest of the matter.

Liu Feiyun naturally understood what they were thinking, and saw him say unhurriedly: "Talent, perseverance, character, chance, and strength, these five factors directly determine a person's martial arts achievements, of course, acquired resources and insight are also crucial, but that is beyond the scope of our assessment, and it is useless to say more." ”

"Back to the topic, the five factors I just mentioned, chance and character are difficult to implement in the assessment, after all, no one wants to admit that their chance and character are worse than others. In this way, what we can assess is nothing more than talent, perseverance and strength. ”

In fact, looking at the major sect families, it is not difficult to find that they mainly look at these three aspects when evaluating their junior disciples. ”

Liu Feiyun talked eloquently, and this opinion really made those who originally looked down on him change their impression of him a little.

Of course, this change is also dispensable, and he will not easily remove the hat of waste after wearing it for fourteen years.

"Well, that's a good point, Elder Liu's thoughts happen to coincide with this sect master, so how do you think this assessment plan should be formulated to be the fairest?"

Hearing this, Liu Feiyun smiled slightly: "What kind of fairness is the so-called fairness of the sect master? You know, there is no absolute fairness in this world, and I can only give an assessment method that is acceptable to most people. ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it!"

Wang Yunming's eyes lit up, originally he invited Liu Feiyun to come just to go through the motions, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy.

"Since ancient times, cultivators have paid special attention to talent, which is understandable, a person's talent does affect the height of martial arts in his life. It is undeniable that people with good qualifications can easily comprehend the mysteries of the exercises and break the bottleneck barriers to promotion, while people with poor qualifications may not be able to do so in their lifetime. It can be seen that the importance of talent is self-evident. ”

"Speaking of perseverance, one's perseverance can sometimes compensate for a lack of talent. People with strong perseverance can endure the unbearable of ordinary people, can stand after breaking the back, break out of the cocoon and be reborn, and can resist all kinds of temptations from the outside world, this kind of person is destined to go further in the martial arts. ”

"As for strength, not to mention, it is the ultimate pursuit of our generation, the strong are respected, how much strength there is to have as much right to speak, and how much respect can be obtained. Even when a person's strength reaches a certain point, he can completely deviate from the rules and do whatever he wants. ”

Liu Feiyun said with emotion, and Wang Yunming couldn't stop nodding on the side, and it could be seen that he agreed with Liu Feiyun's statement. Although these truths are simple, there are almost no young people who can understand them as thoroughly as Liufeiyun. Even the older generation of powerhouses may not have such an opinion.

"This son is not simple, if you can learn martial arts, you will have a bright future in the future, but it's a pity that ......"

To be honest, Wang Yunming really felt sorry for Liu Feiyun, and also sighed for his ill-fated fate.

However, after a moment of distraction, Wang Yunming regained that calm and calm. I saw him smile and ask, "Then Elder Liu, in your opinion, which of the three should we value more?"

Liu Feiyun shook his head: "It doesn't matter which of the three is more important, but they complement each other, if you have to divide the highs and lows, it is the talent that is high, and the perseverance and strength are equally important." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

Liu Feiyun smiled confidently: "Talent is a person's martial arts potential, the most important and the most valued, so it is ranked first, this is not controversial." Perseverance is a person's will, although it is also important but not highly recognized, but it cannot be ignored. As for strength, it is always only temporary, and does not mean later. Therefore, the two are juxtaposed.

"Haha, good, that's a wonderful statement!"

Wang Yunming was in a happy mood: "I didn't expect Elder Liu's vision to be so high, but this is the negligence of this sect and the burial of talents." ”

"The sect master praised it falsely, how can the boy He De be the elder? In terms of strength, I am not as good as the sweeping boy, and in terms of qualifications, I am not as good as the core disciples of the sect. ”

In fact, as Liu Feiyun said, he was indeed worried.

Although he fused his previous memories, he found that he had been an elder since the day he came to Ling Tianzong. After so many years, the opposition within the sect has become louder and louder, but Wang Yunming has tried his best to resist public opinion and will never touch his status as an elder.

This kind of abnormal behavior is incomprehensible, and it also makes Liu Feiyun confused. And the outside world even rumored that he was the illegitimate son of the suzerain, and the suzerain was abusing power for personal gain.

He didn't believe this ridiculous rumor, he knew that he was by no means the illegitimate son of the sect master, but a royal bloodline.

But since there is no such relationship, why does the sect master favor him so much?

The puzzled Liu Feiyun has been pressing this confusion in his heart, and today he just took this opportunity to ask on the side to test what Wang Yunming's intentions were.

There is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason, everything has a reason, and Liu Feiyun does not believe that there is a pie in the sky.

"Elder Liu's words are not right, this sect master thinks that you are more than qualified for the position of elder. You don't have to have any psychological burden, we Ling Tianzong not only want people with strength, but also people with talent and foresight. Today's Elder Liu proves exactly that. Wang Yunming naturally knew the little Jiujiu in Liu Feiyun's heart, but he wouldn't be fooled.

After speaking, Wang Yunming didn't give Liu Feiyun a chance to speak, but directly changed the topic.

"Elder Yu, you also heard what Elder Liu said just now, right? Before, you said to listen to Elder Liu's high opinion first, but now that Elder Liu has finished speaking, isn't it time for you to talk about it?"

Elder Yu was suddenly frightened, what he said just now was just taking the opportunity to fly clouds, and he didn't want to lift a stone and hit himself in the foot.

Although he regretted it in his heart, he also knew that it was too late to say that he regretted it now.

Barely squeezing out a smile, Elder Yu smiled awkwardly: "Sect Master, don't hide it, Elder Liu has already finished what I want to say, and I have nothing more to say." ”

"Oh?

Wang Yunming quietly released a trace of coercion, he was naturally not a fool to be able to sit on the throne of the sect master, how much water was in these words, he knew better than anyone else.

"The subordinates don't dare to talk nonsense, please ask the sect master to learn clearly!"

Elder Yu was silent, he knew that the sect master was deliberately going to use him as a warning to some people. He has been an elder for so many years, and he knows it well, and the smartest thing to do at this time is to climb up the pole, but it is better to lower his head than to be suppressed.

"Well, I hope it's true as you say. ”

Wang Yunming glanced at Elder Yu meaningfully, and then his gaze swept over the other elders, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, apart from what Elder Liu has already said just now, do you have anything else to add?"

No one answered, and the entire Tianyun Hall was as silent as death!

"Is there anything else?" Wang Yunming asked again with anticipation.

However, the scene was still silent!

"Don't you have anything to say?" Wang Yunming was a little excited, and even disappointed: "Okay, since there is no more, then do what Elder Liu said, as for the specific assessment details, I will inform you at that time." ”

After speaking, Wang Yunming paused, and then spoke: "I think everyone knows that Ling Tianzong has not absorbed much valuable fresh blood over the years, which has led to an embarrassing situation in the sect. This Tianzong general election is extraordinary, I hope that all the elders must take it seriously, and whoever is passive and neglects the rules will not be lenient. ”

"Please rest assured that we will go all out to share the worries of the sect master. The elders at the bottom expressed their positions one after another, and the words were more resolute than the other, and the others were louder than the other, but they didn't know if they could be implemented into actual actions.

Wang Yunming nodded slightly, in fact, he also knew that most of these elders were yang and yin, and there was another set behind the surface. However, there are some things that everyone understands in their hearts, once they are placed on the table, they tear their faces and touch the interests of a large number of people.

Seriously, Wang Yunming had wanted to carry out a major purge in the sect many times to clean up those garbage moths out of Ling Tianzong, but in fact, it was not something he could do if he wanted to, he had to consider whether the turmoil brought about after the purge would hurt Ling Tianzong's foundation.

On top of that, he needed an opportunity, a perfect reason for him to do it.

"Sect Master, this Tianzong election is very important, although the old man is old, he still wants to make the last effort for the sect. Sitting in the lower seat, an elder with a childish face bowed to Wang Yunming and said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Wang Yunming to speak, another elder couldn't wait to stand up: "Sect Master, contribute to the sect, the old man will naturally take the lead." ”

For a while, all the elders below were ready to move, and even some old guys had already started to sarcastically and abuse each other in order to compete for the place of this assessment elder, if it weren't for the fact that this was Tianyun Hall, they might really fight for this one place.

Liu Feiyun watched coldly and remained silent. He knew that these old fellows were not as great as they said they were. What kind of bullshit sacrifices their cultivation time to contribute to the sect, think about this kind of nonsense, even they don't believe it.

The situation of this kind of competition is nothing more than that they feel that the scale of this assessment is unprecedentedly huge, and there must be a lot of people who come to participate in the assessment, so there must be a lot of oil and water to be fished. To put it bluntly, these people just want to take advantage of this opportunity to enrich themselves, but they are so hypocritical.

Wang Yunming didn't speak, and he could naturally guess the reason. As elders, these people not only did not create value for the sect, but instead sucked the blood of the sect, which was really disappointing.

Maybe he couldn't stand it anymore, Wang Yunming snorted lightly, and the scene suddenly quieted down.

"Look at you one by one, making noise in the main hall of Tianyun Hall, what kind of system is it? Is it that I'm not here, you still have to fight, and by the way, this Tianyun Hall will be demolished?"

"The sect master is angry, we are also thinking about the sect, and I hope the sect master will not blame. ”

"Yes, sect master, this assessment is related to the luck of the sect, and the old man can rest assured that he can personally check it, so as to save some villains from secretly obstructing, favoritism, and corrupting the atmosphere of the sect. ”

Wang Yunming didn't listen to these nonsense, he unleashed his coercion unscrupulously, and these people didn't dare to raise their heads. Then, he said slowly: "Okay, don't fight, I've already decided, Elder Liu will be the first examiner for this assessment, and he will be solely responsible for the relevant matters of the assessment." ”

"Elder Yu, Elder Li, Elder Sun, Elder Chen, Elder Ji, you are divided into the masters of the Five Academies, and those new disciples will undoubtedly come to your Martial Academy to practice in the future, so this assessment will be carried out by you Elder Liu, please trouble you. ”

"The sect master's words are serious, we and the other five are the elders of the sect, and we should do our best to select talents for the sect. As soon as Wang Yunming's words fell, three of the five people hurriedly answered.

This kind of beauty falls on their heads, and it is too late to be happy, so how can it be troublesome.

Liu Feiyun observed, among the five people, only Elder Nayu was a woman, and she was very young, and her visual age was no more than sixty years old.

Elder Yu didn't show much joy at the sect master's assignment of himself to be responsible for assessing the new disciples.

She is simple-minded, she never wants to use the power in her hands for her own benefit, her character, her principles of life do not allow her to do such dirty things.

But she also knows that her strength alone is too small after all, and she can only try her best to ensure that the genius she likes is not excluded, and as for what she didn't notice, she can only ask for more blessings.

In addition, there is an old man whose performance is also impressive. If Liu Feiyun remembered correctly, he should be Elder Ji, the dean of the Shenmu Academy.

As the dean of Shenmu Academy, this person has always been strict and harsh.

He doesn't have so many twists and turns, and he likes to go straight when he talks and does things. Elder Ji was only dedicated to the development of the sect, and he disdained to take advantage of this opportunity.

With these two people here, Wang Yunming believes that the real good seedlings will not be buried. As for the remaining three, Wang Yunming deliberately arranged them, because they involved factional struggles, balanced interests, and complicated relationships. If they are not allowed to get some benefits as they wish, it is estimated that this assessment will not be easy to carry out.

"Sect Master, Elder Yu, they are responsible for assessing the new disciples, and everyone is happy and convinced. But Elder Liu is difficult to convince the public, his strength is not even comparable to those disciples who have been assessed, what qualifications do he have to take on this position?"

This time, it was still Elder Yu who jumped out to raise objections, and at this time he was very unbalanced in his heart, why could a waste be the chief examiner, and he couldn't even be an examiner?

"The old man also felt that it was inappropriate for the sect master to arrange Elder Liu as the main examiner, and he needed to think twice about this matter. ”

"That's right, in terms of strength, who here is not a hundred times stronger than him, he is not worthy of being the chief examiner. ”

"Sect Master, with all due respect, Elder Liu is not suitable to be the chief examiner. ”

"A major event related to the luck of the sect is not a child's play. ”

There were too many voices of opposition one after another, and almost no one stood up in support of Liu Feiyun. The best ones are the group of people who are silent, although they don't think that Liu Feiyun has this ability, but they don't jump out to slander others.

"Are you all done?" Wang Yunming glanced at everyone with a gloomy face, and his cold gaze pierced people's skin.

"Sect Master ......"
