The room became quiet after someone brought this topic. "Should our attitude remains as tough as Bai Han?" asked one of the True Monarch.

"There is no need for that."

"Then, what do we do?"

"How about doing nothing!"

"What do you mean?"

"We all know that Wang Wei wants to use his victory over Ji Song to acquire a token to enter the secret realm of the Dao Tablets. So, we just have to let him."

"Hmm, that’s a good idea, but your entire plan is based on the premise that Wang Wei will be the victor in this battle."

"Was there ever any doubt about this?"

"Before Bai Han gave him the Devil God Bone, maybe."

"In my opinion, the bone only gives him the ability to not instantly being defeated. All of you should have seen how easily Wang Wei broke that Heaven Tier formation with his bare hands."

These True Monarchs remembered that moment and realized that this person was right.

"On top of that, I notice that most people seem to have forgotten something: his physique. Every time people talk about Wang Wei’s strength, they mention his intelligence, soul, and fleshly body, but never the advantage of his special physique."

"That’s true," said another True Monarch. "Logical speaking, the Dao of Fate should be on par with Chaos. The only reason that it was not ranked first or second is probably because it is still considered an Acquired Physique in the eyes of Heavenly Dao."

"I thought that the reason that his physique was never mentioned was that without the proper cultivation technique, or breaking into the Void Shattered Realm and controlling the Power of Law, the advantages it brought him was very limited-- just like Mo Xingyun’s Heaven Devour Physique."

"No, the Heaven Devour Physique still grants Mo Xingyun fighting abilities. Plus, she has the Heaven Devouring Emperor as a blueprint on how to use and evolve her physique. But Wang Wei has to start from scratch."

"Many people have speculated that this Fate Puppeteer Physique will grant its owner the natural ability to calculate the secrets of Heaven without paying too much of a price--unlike the people of the Heaven Mystery Pavillion."

"You guys seem to have overlooked something," said the True Monarch who believed that Wang Wei would easily win his battle. "During the Qi Luck Trial, he was the final winner and acquired a Rainbow-colored Luck. So, he should have acquired an Innate Talent perfected suited for his Physique after entering the Supernatural Realm."

The True Monarchs’ eyes light up as they realized that they indeed overlooked this fact. Innate Talent is a gift granted from Heaven and Earth to those it deemed both worthy and fortunate. As such, it is usually designed to perfectly fit the person’s physique (if he/she has one), temperament, dreams or goals, and desires.

From what these people knew about Wang Wei and based on the name of the physique, they can guess that he was not the kind of person that planned to use this physique solely for Divination.

Most likely, he wanted to control his fate along with the fate of myriad things in existence--just like a puppeteer and his marionettes. Adding to that the massive amount of luck he received during the trial, his Innate Talent is most likely very powerful.

As for Ji Song’s Innate Talent, although they could guess that it was also very powerful, it does not change the fact that he only had a Purple-Gold level of Qi Luck after leaving the trial.

"I think this is a good way to end this matter without further antagonize the Dao Opening Sect."

"However, we will most likely lose that Devil God Bone."

"Not necessarily. If our plans for Lin Fan works, then just like Bai Han said, all he has to do is get it back from Wang Wei."

"That’s true. In that case, let’s vote on the matter."

"I agree."

"I agree." All the True Monarchs agreed on this proposition.

"Finally, let’s decide on the next headmaster of the Academy and when to announce it to the world."

"Hmph, I still think that we should not let these people control the power of the Academy."

"We already decided on this; as the remnant of the last generation, we should not intervene too much on the government of the Academy. Otherwise, the contradictions you just had with Bai Han will happen with all the current upper echelon members of his generation. This will then lead to instability in the Academy."

"All I’m hearing is excuses."

"Alright, let’s decide on the next headmaster. If you have someone to nominate, do so now."

...

Inside a large and luxurious residence decorated with star-like black color, a young man was sitting inside a room with many beautiful women with him; there were at least 30 of them.

However, based on the sitting arrangement, it is easy to distinguish the status of these women on this handsome young man’s face as there were two of them who were sitting at the very front.

One of them was playing the zither, while the other had food in front of her to feed him. Unfortunately, this young man seemed very distracted, thus was not in the mood for material sustenance.

Suddenly, the young man woke up from his daze and immediately took out a talisman from his space ring. Then, his face changed as he yelled: "What? How could this be?"

"Husband, what happened?" asked the beautiful lady with the food in front of her.

The handsome young man--who was in fact Lin Fan--said with gritted teeth: "The Academy has decided to cancel the remaining rounds of the Tournament."

The beautiful woman with the food was in fact Mu Chunhua, the Saintess of the Heavy Water Sect. She was brought over from the Lower Realm along with Lin Fan’s family.

"Then, what will happen to the participants?"

"Since the Top 30 have already been chosen, then they can still place their names on the Heavenly Dao Protection Book, and enter the Secret Realm of the Dao Tablets. On top of that, since there is no official ranking, then the time that all the people can spend there will be the same."

Mu Chunhua frowned: "Husband, I do not understand. Isn’t it a good thing for the Tournament to be canceled? That way, you do not have to reveal all your hidden cards for the future."

"I could not give a damn about hiding my powers, I just want the world to see what I’m capable of," replied Lin Fan. "Ever since I came to this world, I’ve always been underestimated by everyone due to my low background. Even after I defeated the previous #1 Acting True Disciple--who was in the Primordial Spirit Realm-- and become the true heir of the Academy, many people still underestimated me.

"Especially that damn list created by the Heaven Mystery Pavillion. They placed me at the bottom of all the top 5 Heavenly Physique. Even the number 6 physique, Zhen Biyu--who was ranked after me--was speculated to be more powerful than me.

"Don’t forget that Wang Wei. Everyone seems to always compare my strength, talents, and abilities with him; he has become the standard for the perfect Heaven Chosen. And with his recent actions, everywhere I go, I can hear people talking about him one way or another."

The room became quiet for a moment, with only the low melody of the zither could be heard. Then, Mu Chunhua said: "Husband, you do not have to worry about all of this. Didn’t the Academy design a plan for you to catch up to these people? As long as you follow it, then you will be able to easily suppress all of them--just like you did on our world."

Lin Fan paused for a moment after hearing this, looked at Mu Chunhua for a few seconds before moving his gaze to the woman next to her. His eyes were first full of admiration as if he was seeing the most beautiful thing in the world, then of doting and love.

"Shi’er, what do you think?"

Xi Shi, who was quietly playing her zither, smiled--an act which seemed to lighten up the entire room--responded: "It does not matter what I think, but what you want, husband."

"What I want? Of course, to show the world what I’m capable of."

"Then you need to do so."

"But the Tournament is canceled."

"True, but before this, the Academy has to announce it to the world. And during that time, there will still be a fighting ring and a large audience watching."

Lin Fan frowned as his mind rapidly operated. "That’s right. With so many people watching, all I have to do is challenge these top Heaven Chosen and showed the world my ability.

"And if they refused, I can instigate them--just like that Wang Wei did to Ji Song."

After thinking about this, Lin Fan immediately became excited, so he rushed to hug Xi Shi while saying: "Shi’er, it’s you who knows me the best."

Meanwhile, Mu Chunhua looked at all of this, secretly sighed, and lowered her head. By now, she was used to this.
