But... Lin Xiaoman announced that a stranger would be the Newcomer King of the first team.
Who could accept this?
Everyone present was bewildered!
The title of Newcomer King is not just a simple designation.
It's a symbol of a team's strength.
The Celestial Sect has three branches.
The Red Dust Road faction!
The Ghost-Controlling faction!
The Daoist Cultivator faction.
It's not just the Celestial Sect.
Some top powers are divided into these three schools.
Everybody trains in different things, so naturally, they need to be separated.
If all mixed together, wouldn't it be too chaotic?
The Red Dust Road of the Celestial Sect has a total of five teams.
Mo Lin belongs to the first team.
The Newcomer King represents the strongest young person within a team.
Once selected, these individuals receive special resources for cultivation.
Today is the day to elect the Newcomer King.
Fu Shuang was originally the pre-determined Newcomer King of the first team.
But Lin Xiaoman's sudden appearance disrupted the original plan.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Mo Lin.
Everyone had a question in their hearts.
Could this guy be more talented than Fu Shuang?
Hai Xun asked Lin Xiaoman again: "Captain, are you serious?"
Lin Xiaoman's attitude was very firm, "I'm very serious.."
Thus, Lin Xiaoman pushed Mo Lin forward and announced again: "He is our first team's Newcomer King."
"But..." Hai Xun wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lin Xiaoman.
"No buts, Mo Lin is our first team's Newcomer King."
Lin Xiaoman's attitude was very steadfast.
Hai Xun could only shut his mouth helplessly.
After all, Lin Xiaoman was the captain of the first team.
Since Lin Xiaoman had spoken, he couldn't say anything more.
Fu Shuang tightly clenched her fists, her eyes filled with hostility, staring intently at Mo Lin.
In her mind, there were only three words, "Why?"
In terms of talent, she was definitely the most gifted person in the first team.
Lin Xiaoman actually gave the position of Newcomer King to a newcomer who had not been in the team for long.
This made Fu Shuang feel very unbalanced.
The things originally belonging to her were taken away by others, and this feeling was particularly uncomfortable.
Lin Xiaoman pushed Mo Lin forward, then pushed him to the forefront of the crowd.
Standing beside Mo Lin were four other people.
These four were the Newcomer Kings of the other four teams.
Mo Lin stood side by side with them.
Fu Shuang's position at this moment was very awkward.
She stood in place, unwilling to leave.
Fu Shuang tightly clenched her pale fists, her face flushed, summoning courage to finally speak a word.
"Why?"
Tears welled up in her eyes, sparkling tears swirling in her eye sockets.
"I was supposed to be the Newcomer King of the first team. Why give the opportunity that originally belonged to me to him?"
Fu Shuang was truly unwilling.
She understood the importance of this opportunity.
If she could become the Newcomer King, she would receive a vast amount of resources in the future.
Suddenly, someone appeared and snatched away the opportunity that should have belonged to her, and she was really unwilling.
The scene fell into silence instantly.
Hai Xun also took a deep breath, feeling the injustice for Fu Shuang.
"Actually, I think suddenly giving the Newcomer King position to Mo Lin is unfair to Fu Shuang," Hai Xun also followed up with.
"I'm the captain of the first team.. Do my words count or do yours?" Lin Xiaoman retorted Hai Xun with a single sentence, shutting him up.
Hai Xun could only helplessly shut his mouth.
After all, Lin Xiaoman was the one in charge.
"Xiao Lin! Suddenly changing the decision on something already decided isn't it inappropriate?"
The old man in front slowly spoke.
This elder was the general captain of the Red Dust Road branch.
He managed all five teams of the Red Dust Road.
"I want to nurture him." Lin Xiaoman thought Mo Lin had potential, which is why she supported him strongly.
The general captain fell into silence; he had interacted with Fu Shuang and thought she was a good seedling worthy of nurturing.
But Lin Xiaoman was the captain of the first team.
Though he was the general captain, he couldn't oversee Lin Xiaoman's matters excessively.
"Fu Shuang remains the Newcomer King of the first team."
The general captain announced.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The heavy stone weighing down her heart suddenly disappeared.
Then, the general captain gestured to Mo Lin, "Come with me."
The general captain beckoned to Mo Lin, indicating for him to follow.
Lin Xiaoman followed alongside the whole way.
The two followed the general captain into a room.
"General Captain, didn't I say to make Mo Lin the Newcomer King? Why did you announce Fu Shuang as the Newcomer King?" Lin Xiaoman was dissatisfied with the general captain's decision.
The general captain did not answer Lin Xiaoman but said again, "I want to check this guy's talent."
He wanted to confirm Mo Lin's talent before considering how to position Mo Lin.
If Mo Lin lacked talent, he definitely wouldn't allow him to become the first team's Newcomer King.
"Alright... go ahead." Lin Xiaoman's mouth curved into a smug smile.
She knew that soon the general captain would be shocked.
The general captain's hand rested on Mo Lin's shoulder.
Suddenly, his body jolted violently; the dense Wish Power within Mo Lin made him tremble.
Seeing the general captain so astonished, Lin Xiaoman was pleased and reminded him, "He has studied the Red Dust Road for less than a week."
"What?" The general captain exclaimed in surprise.
Mo Lin's dense Wish Power within him did not resemble that of a newly initiated Red Dust cultivator.
More like someone who has studied the Red Dust Immortal for many years.
One thing was certain... Lin Xiaoman was not lying.
The general captain felt the pure Wish Power in Mo Lin unchecked.
This meant he was a novice, not yet fully mastering how to control the Wish Power.
A genius... undoubtedly, this person is a genius.
"General Captain, how is it? Is there talent?" Lin Xiaoman intentionally questioned the general captain.
"Very talented... He is absolutely the most gifted among all the young people."
A glimmer of light rose in the depths of the general captain's eyes—it was truly a treasure found.
"This child must be cultivated well."
The general captain then took Mo Lin and Lin Xiaoman out slowly.
....
"That guy Mo Lin is probably trying to use connections to become the Newcomer King of the first team." A young man whispered.
"I know him, he seems to have a good relationship with Lin Xiaoman, which is why she pushed him to be the Newcomer King."
"Using connections to become the Newcomer King, it's really laughable."
"Rest assured, the general captain won't allow someone without talent to become the Newcomer King."
Hearing the surrounding people's chatter, Fu Shuang secretly disdained Mo Lin.
He has no talent, yet wants to use connections to become the Newcomer King; such behavior is disgraceful.
Hai Xun shook his head, "To think of using connections to be the Newcomer King, truly laughable."
In his view, Mo Lin's attempt to become the Newcomer King through connections was absurd.
A moment later, the general captain brought Mo Lin and Lin Xiaoman back to the crowd.
"I announce, Mo Lin is joining the Newcomer King team."
The general captain's words left everyone present deeply surprised.
