Chapter 332 First the Immortal Alliance, Then the Alien Race

"What should I do? Even Xing Jiu is no match for the Phoenix Tribulation cultivator. It's even less likely that the rest of us can win."

"And the most important thing is that the legendary Luo City swordsman Lu Chen has been sitting on the sidelines."

"As far as I know, Lu Chen entered the Hedao realm in his early years. After his cultivation reached the Golden Core stage, it is absolutely impossible to say that he has not made any breakthroughs in the way of swordsmanship."

"Even in the heyday of Xingjiu, he might not be Lu Chen's opponent, let alone the current injury."

"Teacher Gao, do you think we...should admit defeat?"

Several students from Tianjiu Taoist Academy sat dejectedly in the lounge, looking at the leading teacher not far away with despairing expressions.

Similar to them, Teacher Gao was also frowning at this time.

How could he, a teacher, not know something that even the students knew.

In fact, from the moment Xing Jiu lost to Mu Xiaoye.

This game has completely lost its meaning.

Because to take a step back, even if Lu Chen couldn't make it.

Mu Xiaoye alone was able to secure the candidates they wanted to send.

After all, they have no extra choice.

The most powerful Xing Jiu is not only their trump card, but also their last barrier.

Even the injured Xingjiu's strength was different from that of other students.

If you don't send her, who else can you send?

Thinking of this, Teacher Gao decided to hand over the final decision to Xing Jiu.

Let her decide whether to engage in this doomed showdown.

"Xiaojiu, what do you think?"

"Don't be nervous. No matter what decision you make, the teacher and other students will fully support you."

"Besides, it's already a big victory for us to be able to get to this point."

"How many people were optimistic about our Tianjiu Taoist Academy before today?"

"A few people believe that we can force the powerful Lihuo Taoist Academy into such a desperate situation."

"Now, it's up to you whether to give up this game or continue to participate in this almost inevitable game."

Hearing this, everyone in the lounge turned their attention to Xing Jiu.

Although Xingjiu was born blind, when his cultivation reached the foundation-building stage, his spiritual thoughts could see much more than what he could see with his eyes.

Looking at the nervous expressions of teachers and classmates, I recalled the efforts they have made for today.

Xing Jiu endured the splitting headache and nodded directly, "Let's give it a try. What if... we win?"

Looking at the pale Xing Jiu, the students looked at each other.

Suddenly, I felt an inexplicable feeling of guilt.

Because they seemed to be giving Xingjiu a choice, but weren't they essentially using morality to kidnap her?

But if they were asked to give up like this, they were a little unwilling.

After all, things are exactly as Xing Jiu said. What if we win?

Once they win, their Tianjiu Daoyuan will basically lock in the spot of the seed team in the Southern Division.

Indirectly becoming the top twenty Taoist temples in the entire Immortal League.

How many people are willing to give up such a huge temptation, and how many people can give up?

But at this moment, Teacher Gao stood up suddenly.

He changed his previous hesitation and said decisively: "Forget it, this game... we admit defeat."

"ah?!"

The students exclaimed, wondering why Teacher Gao suddenly decided to make the decision on his own.

And still make such a risky decision.

You must know that even if you lose in Xingjiu, Teacher Gao will not lose anything.

He would even become the second greatest contributor to the entire Tianjiu Taoist Academy after Xingjiu because he led the team to this day.

But once he chooses to admit defeat, those who care will not care whether they can't win in the first place.

I would only think that his teacher Gao had no ambition and was shrinking from the battle.

Furthermore, it is possible that all the reasons for losing to Lihuo Taoist Academy could be attributed to him.

It can be said that one thought is heaven and the other is hell.

Although the students present are all from different races, it doesn't mean that they don't understand anything.

After just thinking for a moment, they thought of the pressure Teacher Gao would face after admitting defeat.

I saw Xing Jiuyi changed his previous cowardice and took the initiative to say: "Teacher Gao, I'm fine. Everyone has put in so much effort. If..."

"Okay Xiaojiu, don't be brave."

Teacher Gao interrupted Xing Jiu with a smile and touched Xing Jiu's head.

Indicating that she has worked hard.

Under Teacher Gao's comfort, the originally depressing atmosphere in the lounge slowly became gentle.

Teacher Gao looked at the students sitting next to him, took a deep breath and said, "Students, do you still remember what I said when I brought you into the Taoist competition team?"

Hearing this, a foreign boy nodded and said, "Remember, teacher, you said that everyone else in the Immortal Alliance should take a look. Even if they are foreigners, they are not necessarily on the opposite side of the Immortal Alliance."

"And our alien race also has good cultivation qualifications and is a true member of the Immortal Alliance."

"That's right."

Teacher Gao looked at everyone and said, "Students, although the Xianmeng's views on foreign races have changed a lot over the years, most people are still prejudiced against you."

"I have to admit, for a long time, I was one of those people."

"But it wasn't until I was rescued from the battlefield by a foreigner who risked his life that I completely changed my mind."

"Do you know what he said to me when I asked him why he did this?"

The students looked at each other, obviously unable to guess what the alien said.

Teacher Gao also showed off his skills and directly pulled a small bench next to him. He sat down and said, "He said there is no such thing as a different race. He only knows that he and I are both members of the Immortal Alliance. What they are doing now , are all protecting their homes.”

"Although we all look different, in his eyes, whether we are human or alien, as long as we live in the Immortal Alliance, we are family."

"You may think these words are hollow, but I must admit that they had a great impact on me at the time."

"It was also from then on that I gradually understood why the senior leaders of the Immortal Alliance wanted to take in foreigners, and why they had to learn the customs and culture of the Immortal Alliance step by step..."

"What determines a person is never his appearance, but his heart."

"If a human race has no immortal alliance in his heart, can he be considered a human being?"

"If a foreigner has his heart set on the Immortal Alliance, even if he is not a human race, will he not be considered a human being?"

"The reason why I have to include you in the school team regardless of the opposition of the Taoist teachers is not only because you are indeed very capable, but also because I want to take this opportunity to give people in Nanli City and even the entire Immortal League Take a look."

"You are no longer the aliens who lived in the restricted area, drank blood, and were not educated."

"You are now members of the Immortal Alliance like me and millions of other people."

"That's enough."

"As for whether we can become a seeded team in the Southern Division, and whether we can break into the top 20 in this Taoist competition, to be honest, it doesn't matter."

"And if all of this is based on hurting you, it would be even more unnecessary."

"The people of the Immortal Alliance are human beings, aren't you? Or are you not from the Immortal Alliance?"

"Remember, you are members of the Immortal Alliance first, and then you are aliens."

As soon as these words came out, the entire lounge instantly became quiet.

Although no one spoke a word, it was enough to tell by looking at their red eyes.

Teacher Gao's words had such an impact on them.

"Well said, Lao Gao!"

Just when everyone was moved by Teacher Gao's impassioned words, a strange voice came from the door of the lounge.

Everyone looked up and saw Fang Heng, the leading teacher of Lihuo Taoist Academy, and other teachers and deans of Lihuo Taoist Academy appearing at the door.

Judging from their appearance, it was obvious that they had been here for a while.

Maybe he even listened to everything he said just now.

Gao Han felt a little embarrassed when he thought of this.

Mainly, he just...really said he was having fun.

But after the embarrassment passed, Gao Han asked: "What's wrong, Lao Heng, if you don't stay with your own students, why are you here here?"

"Also, who are the other teachers?"

Fang Heng smiled and then said: "We are here unexpectedly, so naturally there are some things we want to discuss with you."

"Of course, as for someone's true expression just now, we just heard it by chance, by chance, by chance."

Looking at Fang Heng's joking expression, Gao Han's expression froze.

No, did you really let you all listen?

Fortunately, Fang Heng didn't say much on this topic.

But go straight to the point.

"Okay, Lao Gao, let's not be too pretentious. The main reason we came here this time is to discuss student exchanges with your Taoist academy."

"Should I say it or not, you really gave us and a few old people in the Taoist temple a big shock this time."

"It also made them start to pay attention to the policies of the Immortal Alliance."

"A foreign girl can master the incense method that was once exclusive to human monks."

"This is beyond all our expectations."

"And this also made me think about one thing, that is, can the traditions of other immortal alliances that are about to be lost be passed down in this way?"

"After all, what human monks can't do doesn't mean that alien monks can't do it."

"And if you think about it carefully, blindly rejecting foreign races is indeed a bit too narrow-minded."

"In ancient times, the immortals preached three thousand sermons, and there was no difference in teaching."

"Not to mention alien monks, there are even alien immortals."

"Immortals can tolerate foreign races. How can we, who are not even immortals, be more capable and far-sighted than the immortals?"

"So, we want to deepen our communication with your Tianjiu Taoist Academy and send some teachers and students to your Taoist Academy to study."

"Then you can also send some students, especially foreign students, to study in our Taoist academy."

"After all, there are some alien students in our Taoist Academy, but most of them are similar to humans in appearance, and they are different from you alien students."

"So we hope that through such exchanges, we can further accelerate their acceptance by ordinary students in our Taoist academy. What do you think?"

After just a brief thought, Gao Han understood that this move would be of great benefit to him, and even to the entire Tianjiu Taoist Academy and other foreign students.

After all, some things should be done by the Fourth Avenue Academy like Lihuo Academy.

Not only is the influence greater, but it also faces less resistance.

Although he had the answer in his heart, Gao Han still did not agree immediately.

He is just a teacher of Tianjiu Taoist Academy, not the dean of Tianjiu Taoist Academy.

Some things cannot be decided by him alone.

"I need to discuss with the principal and other teachers, please understand."

Fang Heng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we didn't expect to settle the matter today."

"Don't worry, there will be several teachers from our side going with you, and they will be full of sincerity."

Hearing this, Gao Han was basically sure that this matter was done.

And it can establish a relationship with the four major academies such as Lihuo Daoyuan.

Even if their Tianjiu Daoyuan stops in this Daoyuan competition, it is worth the trip.

And Fang Heng didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly smiled and said: "But your decision to take the initiative to admit defeat in order to protect the students just now is really very wise."

"You know, I will never make the same mistake twice."

"So in this last game, I will definitely let classmate Lu play."

"Although classmate Xingjiu is strong, she doesn't even have a one-tenth of a chance to beat classmate Lu."

"Not even one-tenth of a chance?"

A student from Tianjiu Daoyuan looked at Fang Heng in disbelief.

It seemed that he thought he was joking.

After all, Xingjiu, who had activated the state of concentration, was comparable to a cultivator in the Jindan stage.

Lu Chen was a Jindan, and Xingjiu was also a Jindan.

Although the chance of winning was small, it could not be said that there was no chance, right?

Facing this doubt, Fang Heng smiled and said, "What do you think of Mu's strength?"

The people in Xingjiu Daoyuan thought about Mu Xiaoye's performance just now, and said with admiration, "Very strong, so strong that he doesn't look like a student at all."

Fang Heng nodded, and then said, "Yes, as a Phoenix Tribulation cultivator, Mu is indeed so strong that he doesn't look like a student."

"But do you know that Mu has never defeated Lu once so far, no matter what the situation is."

"Ah?!"

The people in Xingjiu Daoyuan exclaimed.

It seemed that they didn't expect that Mu Xiaoye, who was so powerful, had never defeated Lu Chen once.

In contrast, Lu Chen's image in their hearts became extremely tall.

Perhaps it was to make his description more specific.

Fang Heng directly used Xing Jiu as an example: "If Xing Jiu's opponent in the previous match was Lu, then even if Xing Jiu's incense cultivation was good."

"But as long as Lu is a little more serious, it is not difficult for him to win."

"After all, that is what our principal personally admitted, the most talented swordsman in the history of the Immortal Alliance."

"His sword cultivation is beyond your imagination."

After this, the lounge was completely silent.

Because they didn't think Fang Heng was joking.

There was no need to joke.

After all, even if they didn't play Lu Chen, they would have won Mu Xiaoye.

Is there any need to joke?

When they thought of this, their mood suddenly improved.

After all, when the ending is already determined, they have nothing to regret, right?
