"That's right. You can't be talking about ?" a panicked voice suddenly cried out. All eyes turned to a second year disciple who stood in the middle of the crowd. His na was unfortunately also John, and he thought Thunderfist was throwing him to the wolves for no reason.
"Oh, there's another John in this group?" Thunderfist chid up, completely shocked. His actions clearly revealed that he had no idea who this youth was, despite him being one of the three hundred most talented youths of the sect. However, the boy's attitude clearly indicated that he was on the ek side, and so him staying low profile wasn't unexpected.
"But no, I don't an you boy. I an him," Thunderfist elaborated as he pointed to John. John was standing with his group at the very rear of the disciples, and Thunderfists finger was clearly pointing directly at him.
John sighed as he saw all the other disciples look at him with a mix of anger and confusion.
'It seems Thunderfist is making things hard on . I never asked to be a General, and being a General will only bring more trouble than it's worth. I want to be able to move freely within the Jade Dragon Empire lands, not be bound to babysit so fellow disciples. I'm of half a mind to just relinquish the title to soone else.'
John was truly considering just refusing to be a General, as it was more trouble than it was worth.
"Him?" A confused and slightly angered voice bood up from the front of the crowd. It was a powerful build and short brown hair. A large greatsword was strapped to his back, making him look even more intimidating. His Middle Heaven Tribulation cultivation was clear for all to see, as it naturally seeped out with great power. "Sect Leader Thunderfist, why would a first year ever be nad a General? And I've never seen him before today, is he also from a branch sect? Surely you're joking?"
"It's Lyeon," a disciple whispered to another nearby.
Lyeon was considered the third or fourth most powerful disciple of the sect, and had a massive following behind him. He was physically the strongest mber of the sect, and had a common grade Innate Variant Body to boost his prowess even further. As such, many thought he deserved to be the third General, and so did Lyeon apparently.
"Seems like he's pissed. This won't end well for that first year unfortunately. I wonder why the Sect Leader placed such a target on his head?" another whispered.
"He must have pissed the Sect Leader off. Everyone knows Sect Leader Thunderfist is quick to anger," a third whispered, his voice barely audible as he was afraid of Thunderfist hearing.
"Do you take for a jester?" Thunderfist bood out, his voice containing a pressure that pressed down on Lyeon and those nearby.
"No, of course not Sect Leader Thunderfist," Lyeon hastily replied. "I only ask for a reason for assigning this Late ridian Forging first year as a General."
"Hmmph," Thunderfist snorted in disdain. "I don't need to give you a reason for my decisions. If you want to know why I assigned John to be a General, ask him yourself. You can have his title if you get him to relinquish it."
John narrowed his eyes at Thunderfist upon hearing this, as Thunderfist truly was just making him a target. Thunderfists smiling gaze shifted to John, and John couldn't help but feel agitated by the whole thing. However, he knew Thunderfist was not doing this out of malice, but for so other reason. As such, he didn't harbor hatred for the Sect Leader.
Lyeon's eyes lit up upon hearing Thunderfists words, and he quickly turned on his heels towards John. The crowd parted imdiately as they knew what his intentions were, and a passageway appeared directly towards John.
John stood there calmly as he watched Lyeon slowly walk over to him. His towering fra was quite impressive, and his powerful aura slowly grew as he approached John. Chase, Iris, and Adam stood calmly at John's side, expressions of amusent on their faces for the show to co.
"You've been laying too low since you ca to the sect, so you can only bla yourself for this," Adam chid up. "You should have beat up so strong disciples when you arrived to establish your na a bit more."
John rolled his eyes at Adam's words, but said nothing as he knew Adam was right. He had made absolutely no splashes within the sect since he arrived, mostly due to him being busy the entire ti. However, this resulted in him being almost a no-nar, despite being a Direct Disciple.
However, many assud his Direct Discipleship was due to his connections with Lilian, who seed to have been favored by the sect when being directly promoted to a high-status Elder.
"This should be a good show though," Chase chid up as well.
"Let's see how long that smug look of his will last," Iris said as well while looking directly at Lyeon. Lyeons smug and confident expression pissed her off, and she almost wanted to lash out at him herself. However, she knew she didn't have the power to do anything against him, not yet at least.
Lyeon quickly arrived before John, his fra towering over Johns. John was not a small person, and was both quite tall for his age and muscular. However, Lyeon was several years older, and his common Innate Variant Body seed to increase his size by quite a bit as well.
He was at least a head taller than John, and looked down at him with disdain. He stared at John in silence for a while as the other disciples watched from behind, curious as to what was going to happen
"You heard Sect Leader Thunderfist," Lyeon spoke out after a short mont while his powerful aura began to push down on John, attempting to intimidate him.. "Relinquish your title to ."
