Chapter 55: Times Are Changing - Part 2

What shocked everyone was that after Zhao Tian made the announcement, apart from a few murmurs from the inner and core disciples, nothing significant happened.

Slowly, many disciples and stewards began to realize that the current Mo Jian was no longer the weak and helpless young master of the past.

His previous claim that he could remove Deng Jie’s chief title was not a bluff. With the way things were progressing in the sect, he probably did have such power.

But they couldn’t understand why the sect elders would grant such authority to the son of the sect master.

Unless... he was no longer weak.

With this realization, many began to change their perception of him.

However, their shock was far from over.

The following day, many core and inner disciples departed from the sect, heading toward the border.

"Is this really happening?"

"I didn’t believe it at first, but with Eldest Sister taking the lead, this is the reality. Now, nobody dares to go against Mo Jian."

"Should we also go to the border to watch the battle?"

"Of course! Are you going to stay in the sect and miss all the fun?"

Inner and outer court disciples gathered in twos and threes, discussing the changes in the sect.

What everyone thought would cause a huge storm in the sect did not even stir a strong wind.

For each annual tournament, the sect would send fifteen disciples—five from each court.

Therefore, the sect’s internal competition was always fierce.

This time, however, the competition would be even more intense since their opponents would not only be fellow disciples but also warriors from across the entire Western Region.

Deng Jie hated Mo Jian to the core and was furious at the sect for not taking his side.

His heart was filled with resentment, but to accomplish his goal, he did not back down and instead rush to the border.

"I’ll use this chance to prove to everyone that I’m a once-in-a-generation talent when I win this tournament."

With such conviction, he couldn’t wait to show the world his prowess.

While the sect disciples hurried to the border to join the Blood Fury Arena, inside the Thousand Wealth Chamber, Mo Jian was working on the latest update for his social networking app.

He planned to release the update after the tournament.

As for the tournament itself, with his current strength, he did not believe their sect would lose to the Radiant Sect.

However, he was not at ease. His discovery of the ancient Nether Gate Formation in the ruins made him realize that someone was working behind the scenes, orchestrating chaos in the Western Region.

That was the real enemy.

Stepping out of the ancient formation’s Mind-Link Array, Mo Jian wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

Using the Mind-Link Array always took a toll on his soul, but each time he used it, he found that his perception grew slightly sharper.

Therefore, despite the exhaustion, he would not hesitate to use it.

"I wonder when the spirit tea leaves will be ripe for harvesting," he mused as he returned to his study.

"Now that I’m done with the social app... what should I call it?" He pondered for a moment before a name popped into his mind.

"Hi-Cloud."

"Good. Hi-Cloud it is."

A bright smile appeared on his face. The name of the app had been giving him a headache, but now, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as he was trying to recover from his mental exhaustion, he heard a knock on the door.

"Enter..."

Creak!

The door was pushed open, and Zhao Tian entered with a deep grin. However, upon seeing the exhausted expression on Mo Jian’s face, he frowned.

"Young Master, don’t push yourself too hard. Please try to rest."

"Don’t worry. It’s nothing," Mo Jian dismissed his concern. "Why are you here?"

"Haha! Young Master, you amaze me. The sect is in a frenzy! All the powerful disciples are rushing to the border to join the Blood Fury Arena," Zhao Tian chuckled, thinking of the proud faces of the core disciples as they hurried off.

Mo Jian was not surprised. He had already expected such a reaction from the elders and disciples.

"Send a message to Hao Yang. Tell him to increase the reward for defeating the disciples by tenfold. Also, compile a list ranking the top ten disciples based on their strength."

"Anyone who defeats them will receive a low-grade Earth Technique."

"What?!" Zhao Tian’s eyes widened in shock.

A low-grade Earth Technique!

He stared at Mo Jian in disbelief.

"Y-Young Master..."

"Don’t worry. It’s not from the sect," Mo Jian waved his hand dismissively.

"En!" Zhao Tian was still stunned. ’If not from the sect, then where did he get it?’

His mind swirled with confusion as he struggled to comprehend how Mo Jian had obtained a low-grade Earth Technique.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Tian decided not to dwell on it. He realized he could no longer see through Mo Jian at all.

"Alright, I’ll get to it immediately." He nodded and prepared to leave.

Just as he reached the exit, Mo Jian’s voice called out.

"Send some men to keep an eye on the Radiant Sect. I want every one of their movements monitored."

"I’ll send men right away."

Mo Jian nodded and watched Zhao Tian leave.

For some reason, he had a bad feeling about the upcoming competition.

And this was precisely why he was pushing the sect disciples so hard.

If anything were to happen during the tournament, they would be prepared.

As for his parents, he had no idea when they would emerge from their seclusion.

At the border, inside the Blood Fury Arena, Hao Yang was busy managing the arena when he received a message from Zhao Tian.

After reading the message, he was momentarily stunned before he let out a deep sigh.

Without hesitation, he left to carry out the order.

Shortly afterward, a massive commotion erupted in the Blood Fury Arena.

For the Dust Valley Sect, grim expressions appeared on their faces.

Previously, they believed that with a little effort, they could defeat their opponents and climb the ranking board.

But with this latest announcement, the difficulty of their battles had just increased significantly.

Now, all the rogue warriors were looking at them with fierce, burning expressions.

Who would want to miss a chance to obtain a low-grade Earth Technique?
