After confirming this good news, it was unnecessary for Tang Yu to say much more.
Qiu Guangji quickly showed his subjective initiative, leading his companions to start talking to other victims about this matter.
"Is it true? Does Ling Jun want to choose an elder?"
"Damn it, letting this scum become an elder?"
"If he's an elder, he won't be able to extort anymore, that's good."
"I support Ling Jun as the one who makes the decisions, who's in favor, who's against?"
"I'll make him suffer. Oh, let's just choose him."
After thinking for a while, everyone finally reached an agreement.
Beat him, now, even if they all team up, it's useless, that person is already at the [Celestial] level.
He has no shame, not even all the dogs of the Nine Heavens Alliance can compare to this bastard.
He's really capable of doing bad things while people shower in the bathroom.
Tang Yu, listening from afar to the discussions of these guys, smiled contentedly in his heart.
It wasn't in vain that all this time he had turned a blind eye and been bothering them.
Meanwhile, on the stage, the battle between Ye Qiu and Qiu Duanshui was intensifying more and more.
Both were already completely blinded by fury.
And all of this was due to Tang Yu's shouts from the audience just a moment ago.
Ye Qiu had originally planned to take the initiative, step by step, to force his opponent to surrender, not expecting it to turn into a fight to the death.
But, after his opponent took the initiative, the battle was no longer in his hands.
He even felt a lot of pressure.
After all, Qiu Duanshui grew up in the Nine Heavens Alliance. He was definitely not comparable to the old warriors from outside, and his strength wasn't much different from his!
In the end, the fight turned into a desperate exchange of blows.
You hit me in the forehead with a fist, I hit you in the head with a palm, let's see who gives in first.
Several elders watching couldn't help but frown slightly; the atmosphere of this fight was too tense.
They had never seen anything like this in previous years, it seemed like there was deep resentment between them.
For Ye Qiu, he had to overcome this barrier represented by Qiu Duanshui to become an elder.
And Qiu Duanshui, for his part, had to defend the dignity of the Qiu family disciples at all costs.
This guy who had seriously injured his brother had to pay the price!
After ten minutes, the stage floor was already covered in quite a bit of blood.
There was blood from Ye Qiu, but there was even more from Qiu Duanshui.
An elder observed, frowned, and felt some regret.
The talent and strength of these two, compared to the top performers from previous editions, were even more formidable.
But if they continued fighting so intensely, it would be inappropriate and dangerous for their health.
He approached the Grand Elder and the others, and asked, "What if we tell them to moderate the intensity? If they keep going like this, it will get out of control."
"And what do you suggest? If anyone stops now, the fight will end. But I think Duanshui won't win, later I'll see how to stop this if needed."
The Grand Elder spoke slowly and couldn't help but shake his head.
The young ones nowadays… how can they be even more stubborn than when one was young?
Fortunately, the Grand Elder didn't need to intervene.
In the end, the battle ended with Qiu Duanshui no longer being able to resist.
When Ye Qiu punched him in the throat, his fist was only 0.01 cm away from Qiu Duanshui's skin, but it stopped there, almost touching his throat.
Qiu Duanshui had already prepared to receive a fatal blow, even closed his eyes, but didn't show any resentment on his face; if he wasn't good enough, he lost, and that was it.
However, Ye Qiu suddenly stopped, which made Qiu Duanshui open his eyes, surprised to see him.
Wasn't this guy always ruthless?
Why is he acting so differently from what's said about him?
"At that moment, Ye Qiu's fist was only 0.01 cm from Qiu Duanshui's throat, but after not hitting, the owner of that fist would end up completely falling for Qiu Duanshui."
At that moment, Tang Yu was sitting at the bottom of the stage, seriously explaining to a beautiful disciple next to him.
"Huh? Why?"
The beautiful disciple opened her eyes in surprise, as she was listening to her Brother Ling Jun analyze the fight between the two.
… and she was listening with great interest, gaining a lot from what he said.
But then suddenly, he dropped that sentence, leaving her completely confused.
However, she still felt somewhat excited. Eh, why do I feel so strange now? Am I... starting to ship them?
"Because think about it, Brother Ye Qiu is an extremely arrogant and confident man. Why does he only show his tenderness at this moment?"
Tang Yu responded to her with a question.
"Oh~~~!"
The beautiful disciple immediately realized, while the other older and younger sisters shared a knowing smile.
Isn't this just like the novels of arrogant CEOs? They got it, the dominant CEO only pampers his own woman, of course.
Tang Yu showed a slight expression and didn't say more. Although he had lied countless times throughout his life, he considered this lie the most perfect.
From that moment on, an inexplicable rumor spread rapidly among the inner disciples, but that's another story.
At this moment, on the stage, only a few seconds had passed.
After the initial shock, Qiu Duanshui looked at Ye Qiu, frowned, and asked, "Why did you hold back?"
"Because you are an opponent worthy of respect. Is that a good answer?"
Ye Qiu said conspicuously while wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
If he had caused Qiu Duanshui a serious injury, it would have only generated more disdain from the Qiu family disciples toward him.
On the contrary, by stepping back a bit, he would gain their sympathy.
This would also help his future candidacy for elder!
"Understood. It seems I've misunderstood you," said Qiu Duanshui with a bitter smile, and then looked at the elders, speaking aloud, "I surrender, Brother Ye has won."
Upon hearing this, the inner disciples who had been watching the fight erupted in cheers and applause.
This made Tang Yu feel somewhat jealous. Why didn't he get applause for winning?
So, like a little child, he clapped twice and then shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Together, together!"
Just as Ye Qiu was about to get off the stage, he heard those words and almost misstepped, nearly falling and becoming a vegetable.
When he returned to his seat, Ye Qiu took a healing pill and swallowed it while beginning to adjust his internal energy.
He could still fight another round, but his first place was already secured.
Qiu Guangji or that Ling Jun guy, both at the top of the [Heaven] level, even if they teamed up, wouldn't be rivals for him.
With that thought, Ye Qiu focused on healing, but in less than a minute, he was about to vomit the medicine he had just swallowed.
He saw how Tang Yu, jumping onto the stage, suddenly went from an expert at the top of the [Heaven] level to being at the [Celestial] level.
The elders, noticing this, were also in shock.
This year, the inner disciples had made an incredible harvest. In previous years, it was hard to see a single disciple at the [Celestial] level.
This year, three came out at once?
Qiu Guangji, like an eggplant hit by frost, got on the stage unwillingly.
Wow, it's not just about getting beaten!
"Hey, hey, hey! Cheer up! Let's have a symbolic fight, you attack, I defend, and I'll give you some advice, okay?"
Tang Yu had to actively cheer up this guy.
Otherwise, if he just got on stage and surrendered, it would look like a fixed match.
"You said it, your words are worth it!"
Qiu Guangji immediately cheered up. What, now it turns out this guy lets himself get hit without responding?
When the elders signaled to start, Qiu Guangji immediately launched an attack.
Three minutes passed.
With a bruised and purple face, Qiu Guangji jumped off the stage and, looking at the elders, sobbed:
"I'm not fighting anymore, I surrender. This guy is abusing me!"
"Ah, this is to teach you a lesson. Don't trust others so easily, understand? Men must rely on themselves."
Tang Yu said with a mischievous smile.
If it weren't because he couldn't win, Qiu Guangji would surely have said something to hit back.
