Originally, Yuan Shuo, who wanted to witness Wang Ye's failure, was stunned when he heard the chorus of "agree" emanating from the martial warriors below.
What's going on?
Weren't these martial warriors supposed to oppose, supposed to refuse?
After all, they had inherited these rules for generations.
Aren't martial warriors known for their traditionalism?
Why would they agree to Wang Ye's absurd idea?
Liu Na and Wang Hui both revealed a hint of a smile upon hearing this.
The plan succeeded.
Now that they had these martial arts cultivation techniques, they could start researching and figure out the best methods to help the students of Yuncheng Martial Science University progress faster, all before the new intake of students arrived.
What methods would suit them best?
After being stunned for a while, a smile unconsciously appeared on Yuan Shuo's face.
Quite good!
Although he was metaphorically slapped in the face, he found he quite liked the sensation.
It signified an evolution in the philosophy and spirit of martial warriors.
He gently patted Wang Ye on the shoulder, and when Wang Ye looked at him, Yuan Shuo smiled and said, "You've done very well."
Yuan Shuo felt that, as long as Wang Ye's future actions were right, he would support Wang Ye unconditionally.
After all, it was only now that Yuan Shuo truly realized Wang Ye... was a man truly capable of creating miracles.
However.
Just as everyone in the conference room was shouting in agreement with Wang Ye's decision, an aged voice suddenly dispersed the voices of approval.
Martial warriors naturally have robust voices, and when they speak, it carries a resonant quality, especially when shouting.
The chorus of "agrees" almost seemed to flip the roof of the conference room upside down.
Yet, despite the loudness, this opposing voice managed to drown all others in an instant.
Leaving only this one voice echoing in the conference room.
It was as if, on the vast ocean, tumultuous waves surged in one direction.
But at that moment, an immense wave rose against the flow, pressing towards them and demolishing the unidirectional waves.
When Yuan Shuo heard the voice of opposition, no hint of joy crossed his face; instead, he turned his gaze toward the source of the voice.
And not just Yuan Shuo.
All present turned their eyes in the direction of the voice.
At the back of the conference room, an elderly man clothed in a gray cloak slowly stood up under the scrutiny of all; his skin seemed to have turned into a thin sheet of paper, clinging to his bones.
Those close to the old man could even detect a scent of decay emanating from his body.
"Who is he?"
"I've never seen him before."
"He doesn't seem to be from our Xijiang Provincial Martial Arts Association."
Whispers of discussion began to rise in the meeting room.
After Wang Ye passed a message to Yuan Shuo, and learned that the individual at the back of the meeting room wasn't a member of the Xijiang Provincial Martial Arts Association, Wang Ye spoke up:
"Elder, this meeting room only welcomes the Martial Warriors of our Xijiang Provincial Martial Arts Association to enter and discuss matters. If you are not one of our association's Martial Warriors, please leave."
"Ask me to leave?"
The elder let out a cold laugh, "When I was a Martial Warrior, most of you little tykes probably hadn't even been born yet."
The elder's words had already revealed his identity.
Another awakened powerhouse.
From his appearance, as well as the words spoken by the elder, his identity was represented.
Seeing that he was dealing with a senior, Wang Ye spoke in a slightly more polite tone, explaining to the elder, "Elder, in this new era that has begun, if we share Cultivation Techniques..."
However, the elder showed no intention of listening to Wang Ye's explanation. With a wave of his hand, he cut Wang Ye off, "You don't need to explain so much to me. If you proceed with this, it means you're destroying the traditions of the martial community!"
"Now, just cancel this decision. If I find you continuing with such actions, just wait and see what happens!"
Having said that, the elder didn't linger any longer and promptly left.
Wang Ye, Yuan Shuo, and others were left behind, frowning deeply.
Below, a Martial Warrior turned his attention to Wang Ye and asked, "Chairman Wang, regarding the proposal just mentioned, will it continue?"
Wang Ye didn't make a sound.
Several Martial Warriors responsible for the security of the meeting room came over to Wang Ye and Yuan Shuo, expressing regret as they spoke, "President Yuan, Chairman Wang, we are sorry, we also didn't notice when the elder took a seat, and we didn't see him coming in."
"It doesn't matter."
Wang Ye shook his head and looked in the direction where the elder had left.
Now, with Wang Ye's strength a bit more formidable, he could see more than Yuan Shuo could.
"That elder possesses the strength of a Second Rank Martial Master, and I observed that his presence might be related to concealment or something similar. Even I didn't notice the arrival of a Second Rank Martial Master, let alone you all."
Although Wang Ye said this, the expressions of the several guards still showed some remorse.
Immediately after, Wang Ye's gaze returned to the audience in the meeting hall as he addressed everyone, "Our plan continues!"
"We admire these senior Martial Warriors, but it doesn't mean we have to obey them!"
"This is our era!"
"Their time has already become a thing of the past!"
"If they revive in our era, then they only have one choice, and that is to adapt to our era, not for us to adapt to theirs!"
Wang Ye's words were resounding and emphatic.
Although it was true that his Master's wife, Jin Xiaoxue, was from the previous era.
Yet, his Master's wife was adapting to this era.
Of course, this may also have to do with the fact that their relationship was that of mentor and disciple.
The Martial Warriors in the meeting room, hearing Wang Ye's impassioned speech, felt their previously dampened spirits reignited, and their voices roared out once again.
