In the meeting hall, the elders argued endlessly about the issue of Lu Chen's ownership.
The elders of the outer sect believe that according to the normal process, Lu Chen must first practice in the outer sect and be familiar with various rules of the Xuantian Dao Sect. Only after he breaks through the Xuanming realm can he be qualified to be promoted to the inner sect.
The elders of the inner sect believe that the process can be abnormal and admit formal disciples without exception. There are precedents in the past. Lu Chen can skip the outer sect and directly enter the inner sect to practice. He can be familiar with all the rules in the inner sect and there is no need to waste time in the outer sect.
The elders of the Foreign Affairs Academy believed that Lu Chen had zero talent in the entrance test and did not know whether he had martial arts. He was not qualified to formally enter the academy and could only be a nominal disciple for the rest of his life.
The force established by Lu Chen also belongs to the nominal disciple academy. If Lu Chen doesn't leave, this force can't leave either!
The elders of the Foreign Affairs Academy also promised that in view of Lu Chen's recent performance, he could make an exception and provide Lu Chen with some resources, including Lu Chen's power, so that he could enjoy the treatment of an outer disciple.
The elders from the outer sect and the inner sect all rolled their eyes.
The meaning of the Foreign Affairs Academy is very clear. They don't want Lu Chen to leave. They want Lu Chen to continue to be a nominal disciple and gain face for the Foreign Affairs Academy.
The Foreign Affairs Academy has jurisdiction over all affairs outside the sect, including the 108 branch sects, as well as nominal disciples. Even the admission of new disciples is controlled by the Foreign Affairs Academy.
Regardless of whether it is an outer sect or an inner sect, if you want to admit Lu Chen, you cannot avoid the Foreign Affairs Academy!
It can be said that the Foreign Affairs Academy has held back the lifeblood of disciples’ entrance!
"Lu Chen can't stay in the nominal disciple academy. There are already some elite disciples in my outer sect who have gone to become nominal disciples, and the remaining elite disciples are not thinking about it. If this continues, all the elites in the outer sect will run away, and they will go to the demon cave in the future.
In battle, what can the outer sect do to fight against the demon clan?"
An elder from the outer sect said angrily, "When the time comes, when the higher authorities investigate, who will bear the responsibility? Is it your Foreign Affairs Academy?"
"Lu Chen must enter the outer sect and return to the outer sect with his power, so that our elites from the outer sect will not be lost!"
Another outer sect elder said this.
"You speak so harshly. What is churn?"
Elder Liao from the Foreign Affairs Academy snorted and said, "Lu Chen is still a disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect in the nominal disciple academy. Even if he goes to fight in the Demon Cave, he can go. Whatever legion he brings, he can still benefit the sect.
Make military exploits!"
"As long as you have military exploits, the higher ups will not hold you accountable!"
Elder Liao was extremely unhappy with Lu Chen. Lu Chen abolished Guan Ming, whom he cared for, and drove away Jin Gan, whom he supported. He really wanted to slap Lu Chen to death to relieve his anger.
Therefore, he did not want Lu Chen to formally enter the profession, and he did not want to give Lu Chen a more promising opportunity.
What door do you enter?
Continue to be a nominal disciple!
Some time ago, he was out on business and had no time to sort out Lu Chen.
When he came back, he was going to put on small shoes for Lu Chen, but found that Lu Chen had already become famous and his feet had grown so big that he couldn't fit into the small shoes and needed to wear big shoes!
What a ghost knife!
There is such a weird thing!
Now everyone in the Foreign Affairs Council is trying their best to keep Lu Chen and the Fanatic Legion behind, so as to add face to the Foreign Affairs Council.
Under such circumstances, can he survive?
Definitely not!
Not to mention giving Lu Chen small shoes, I don’t even dare to give him big shoes!
However, as long as Lu Chen continues to stay in the nominal disciple academy, sooner or later he will have the opportunity to kill Lu Chen!
Regarding Elder Liao's views, other elders from the Foreign Affairs Academy agreed that as long as they had military exploits, everything would be easy to handle.
The elders of the outer sect were furious and could do nothing.
The world has really changed. In the past, the Foreign Affairs Academy often promoted nominal disciples to the outer sects, but the outer sects were generally not good at it.
But now, let alone promotion, even people are not willing to let go!
"Our inner sect only wants Lu Chen. It doesn't matter where his power stays. The inner sect won't want it anyway."
An inner sect elder said.
The inner door is half a level higher than the outer door, and the sound from the inner door is quite powerful.
"I'm sorry, Lu Chen's talent does not meet the official entry standards. Our Foreign Affairs Academy will never let him in!"
Elder Liao categorically refused.
"Talent is just a test, not a standard. As long as you have enough potential, you can get started!"
The inner sect elder said so.
"Potential is a very imaginary thing. It can't be seen or touched. God knows how big a person's potential is. Only tests are authoritative. The purpose of recruiting disciples in our sect is to only look at tests and nothing else."
Elder Liao said.
"Lu Chen has aroused strange phenomena and is a martial arts prodigy. All tests are in vain!"
The inner sect elder said angrily, "The martial arts prodigy is a key training target of the inner sect. You, the Foreign Affairs Academy, cannot stop him!"
"Why do you have to train the inner sect? Our foreign affairs academy can also train you!"
Elder Liao said with a sneer, "You have millions of disciples in the inner sect, and there are many geniuses in martial arts. Can you train them? But our Foreign Affairs Academy is different. We use the strength of the entire academy to train Lu Chen, which is better than training in the inner sect."
A hundred times stronger!"
Elder Liao said that, but he didn't think so in his heart. He didn't want to train Lu Chen.
If the Foreign Affairs Academy really provided resources to train Lu Chen, he would definitely find a way to get rid of Lu Chen's resources and ask Lu Chen to practice under the northwest wind.
Do you know what the northwest wind is?
"You... you are just making nonsense. The Foreign Affairs Academy is not a place to cultivate martial arts geniuses!"
The inner sect elder was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood.
"Everyone, listen to me. I think Lu Chen should come to defend the city and help fight against the demon clan!"
At this time, Elder Zheng, who had been silent until now, spoke.
Elder Zheng is the only person who does not belong to the three departments. He belongs to the defensive city and is responsible for resisting the invasion of monsters.
The Xuantian disciples stationed in the defensive city are all subordinates of Elder Zheng.
In other words, Elder Zheng’s territory is in the Great Demon Cave!
He came here today also because of Lu Chen, but the outer sect, the inner sect and the Foreign Affairs Academy were fighting fiercely, so he had no chance to speak.
"If you want people in the defensive city, you can go to the outer gate to get them. What do you want here?"
An outer sect elder said this.
"You can also go to the inner sect to look for ten or eight Xuanming Realm disciples. I can still make the decision to transfer them to you."
An elder from the inner sect also responded in the same way.
"Lu Chen needs training and is not suitable to defend the city!"
Elder Liao refused flatly, leaving no room for negotiation.
Elder Zheng was speechless. Lu Chen had the ability to spy on the demon clan's intelligence. He really wanted Lu Chen to come over.
But he cannot offend any of the three departments, otherwise the defensive city will be in trouble if it wants manpower in the future.
Although Lu Chen has made a name for himself in the Great Demon Cave, the sect is so large and the hierarchy is so strict that Lu Chen's affairs have not yet spread to the upper echelons.
The higher-ups of Xuantian Dao Sect don’t know about Lu Chen’s existence!
