Chapter 1256 1256: Unexpected results
“I’ve gathered you all here because there’s something that I want to inform you on.”
The disciples of the Love Sect were naturally confused when Lin Fan gathered them like this, but they still waited to see what Lin Fan had to tell them. They were curious, but they knew that their sect master wouldn’t gather them like this without a reason.
Even the elders who were the masters of these disciples thought the same.
“I’ve made a bet with the other core disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, so we will have to depend on how you do to see if we can get past this.”
“Sect master, why would you do that?” Senior Brother Ying asked right away.
He didn’t really want to ask this, but as the Great Elder of the Love Sect, this was something that he had to do. He had to ask this question for the sake of the disciples of the Love Sect.
After all, it was only right for the Great Elder to take care of the disciples of the Love Sect.
Lin Fan gave a nod in response before saying, “Naturally it was for the Love Sect. What we will be receiving in return from this bet is land for both the Love Sect and the Mu Empire’s future development.”
Senior Brother Ying just slowly asked, “But if we lose?”
“It’s just a few techniques that we lose. It’s the foundation techniques from our sect’s library.”
The moment that the elders and disciples heard this, they immediately knitted their brows.
They knew that no one would make a bet unless there was something for them to gain from that bet. It was the same for the core disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, they wouldn’t bet their territory unless it was something that was worth them betting it.
If it was the foundation techniques of the Love Sect, then it was worth it.
After all, the foundation techniques of the Love Sect were not just any techniques. They were techniques that helped build the foundations of those that trained them and made them stronger than any others at the same cultivation level.
If these techniques were to leave the Love Sect, then they would no longer have the same advantage.
If they were to lose these, it would mean that they would be nothing more than a normal sect since everyone was on the same playing field.
So they knew that this was equal to trading away the very foundation of the Love Sect, like the name of these techniques implied.
That was why they were concerned that Lin Fan was trading it away.
The thing that they were more concerned about was the fact that Lin Fan didn’t seem to show any regret or hesitation over this decision. It seemed like he was fully confident in this choice.
But they couldn’t understand why he would be this confident.
“I have faith in all of you. What we’re betting on is the results of this tournament, so we’ll have to depend on all of you.”
The disciples of the Love Sect couldn’t help revealing wry smiles when they heard this.
There was no doubt that this was a lot of pressure to be putting on them.
However, it wasn’t as if they caved under this pressure that was being put on them.
When they heard what Lin Fan said, they soon calmed down and revealed confident looks.
Since they had been raised by the Love Sect, they knew that it was their duty to do something for the Love Sect. It was just that until now, they never really had a chance to do anything for the Love Sect.
The Love Sect and the Mu Empire had faced relative peace because of their sect master.
So they had always wanted to repay him.
That was why this was an opportunity for them.
Seeing that the disciples were ready, Lin Fan gave a nod and said, “Go and make your preparations. It will be your turn soon.”
Though the disciples were easy to convince, it wasn’t as if the elders were that easy. After all, they knew that this was far more than how simply Lin Fan was putting it.
So that was why they stayed here and put pressure on him.
“I know that it seems reckless, but trust me when I say that this will be good for them and us. I know what kind of power that they possess, so I know that they will be able to do this. At the same time, it will be good training for them since they’ll be able to spar with true experts that aren’t from our sect.”
It seemed like the elders still didn’t have the same kind of confidence that Lin Fan had, but it also seemed like they were at least willing to trust him and see how this went.
After all, Lin Fan had always shown them things that they couldn’t believe.
Anything that Lin Fan did usually turned out to be a miracle, so they had to believe that this time wasn’t different. They just had to believe that Lin Fan had his reason for being so confident about all of this.
In the end, this was shown in the first match.
It wasn’t one of the famous disciples of the Love Sect that went forward, it was one of lesser known disciples of the first generation disciples.
The one that he was facing was one of the famous disciples of the Golden Gate Sect.
This was a disciple that was well known in the country that the Golden Gate Sect came from and in the surrounding countries. This was a disciple that had proven himself in tournaments in the past, which was why he had this fame.
Now that he was facing a disciple of the Love Sect that didn’t have any fame at all…
Well, everyone believed that he would be the one that won this match.
But in the end, that wasn’t how things ended.
Instead of the disciple from the Golden Gate Sect coming out on top, it was the disciple from the Love Sect that won in the end. At the same time, it wasn’t as if it was a close competition, it was a one sided battle.
The disciple from the Love Sect only used a single move to knock down the disciple from the Golden Gate Sect.
When it was over, even he couldn’t help looking at his own raised hand as if he couldn’t believe what just happened.
After all, the disciple from the Golden Gate Sect had dropped too easily…
But there was no denying the fact of the matter, especially since the disciple of the Golden Gate Sect had been knocked out of the ring and had been knocked unconscious.
No matter how they tried waking him up, it didn’t seem like he was going to wake up.
He was even so deep asleep that there were those that wondered if he was dead.
But in the end, they could tell that he was still alive because he was still breathing.
When the core disciple that was in charge of the Golden Gate Sect saw this, he narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth before leaving the room with a random excuse.
Though based on the expression on his face, it was clear that he was going to talk to the one in charge of the Golden Gate Sect. After all, this kind of loss was just too embarrassing for both him and the Golden Gate Sect.
The other core disciples didn’t take this lightly either.
They already knew that the disciples of the Love Sect were stronger than those at the same cultivation level, but this was a famous disciple of the Golden Gate Sect that had a special physique and a special cultivation technique.
He should have been strong enough to make up for this difference and more.
They had expected to see a fierce battle, but all that happened was that he was knocked out in one blow.
This just really didn’t make any sense at all.
In the end, they also chose to leave to pass on a few words to the leaders of their sects as well.
While they had no idea what would happen, it was never a bad idea to be prepared.
But the one that was the most surprised by all of this was Lin Fan.
After all, he hadn’t expected this either.
Though he was confident that the disciple from the Love Sect would win because of the training that the Love Sect gave, he didn’t think that he would win this easily. He also thought that it would be a fierce battle that would eventually end in the victory of the Love Sect disciple.
This disciple from the Love Sect was one that really didn’t have any fame at all, even among the first generation disciples.
He was someone that could have been considered average, but it seemed that this was only among the Love Sect disciples.
Lin Fan was the one that had chosen those disciples of the Love Sect in the first place, so he should have known how much talent they had. Even if it was one of the lower ranked disciples, he would have more talent than disciples from other sects.
So Lin Fan couldn’t help scolding himself for the mistake that he made.
From now on, it was best if he didn’t look down on the disciples of his own Love Sect.
He should have full confidence in them as their sect master.
