On the martial arts practice stage, Ning Yuchan also had a puzzled look.

Her original intention with the phrase 'Do any of you still have objections?' was just to ask Luo Geng as usual, but she didn't expect someone else to have an objection.

Others, such as Headmaster Dong Zhao, Vice President Feng Shu, Supervisor Cao Chun, Supervisor Tian Zhang, including the Instructors, also looked towards the stage.

Today's Spring Star Gathering Season assessment is really troublesome, wave after wave.

Lu Xianbing!

In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on Lu Xianbing, who had stepped forward to express his objection.

Vice President Feng Shu was slightly pleased when he saw this.

Good thing.

Someone objecting, although it couldn't change the result, could change the direction of the wind.

With other events distracting from the heat of the previous dispute between Xu Jin and Luo Geng, at least his embarrassment wouldn't be so obvious.

Vice President Feng Shu, who had planned to leave after losing face, thought of this and stayed.

"Lu Xianbing, Xu Jin and Luo Geng competed for a spot in the Middle Courtyard through martial arts practice. What is your objection?" Ning Yuchan's voice was somewhat displeased.

Lu Xianbing, you got your spot early. Why are you causing trouble now?

This Star Gathering Season has already had enough trouble.

"Head Instructor Ning, I don't object to Xu Jin winning the spot, but I object to the previous spot in the Inner Courtyard!" Lu Xianbing said loudly.

Ning Yuchan was startled upon hearing this and subconsciously looked at Vice President Feng Shu. This matter was handled by Feng Shu just now.

Although it was routine, it was also announced by the Vice President.

Lu Xianbing knew that the opportunity to express his opinion was rare, so he didn't wait for the Instructors to ask again and spoke directly.

"I was also inspired by Senior Brother Xu Jin!"

As he spoke, Lu Xianbing first solemnly bowed to Xu Jin in thanks.

"All Instructors, Zhou Du achieved Star Pointing in twenty-one days, I achieved Star Pointing in twenty-nine days. Our talent evaluations are both Grade A-minus. Zhou Du broke through to Canxia Fifth Level three days ago, and I broke through to Canxia Fifth Level four days ago.

My talent evaluation level and cultivation are the same as Zhou Du's, so why does he enter the Inner Courtyard and not me?"

Feng Shu on the martial arts practice stage froze upon hearing this, his face turning even darker. 'Damn it, it's endless.'

"All Instructors, if the reason Zhou Du can enter the Inner Courtyard and I cannot is because Zhou Du achieved Star Pointing in twenty-one days and I in twenty-nine days,

Then I'll use Senior Brother Xu Jin's words.

If everything is ranked by the number of days to Star Pointing, then what's the point of cultivating?

In the future, when patrolling Jinshan County City, everyone can hold up a sign above their heads showing the number of days to Star Pointing, and the demons and bandits will be scared away. What's the point of cultivating?!

In the future, when defending the country and killing enemies on the battlefield, everyone can also hold up a sign showing the number of days to Star Pointing and compete with the invaders based on the number of days to Star Pointing to decide victory or defeat. What's the point of cultivating?!"

Before Lu Xianbing finished speaking, many young people on the stage burst into laughter.

Mainly because the scene described by Lu Xianbing was too ridiculous.

During patrols, everyone meets thieves but doesn't catch them, instead they show the number of days to Star Pointing first.

On the battlefield, everyone meets enemies but doesn't draw their swords, instead they show the number of days to Star Pointing first. This scene is really quite ridiculous.

"Enough!"

Vice President Feng Shu, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, roared like thunder, "Lu Xianbing, what are you trying to do?"

"Reporting to the Vice President, I'm not trying to do anything, I just want fair treatment!

Rather than losing all will to fight and surrendering whenever I encounter an enemy and think that his number of days to Star Pointing is one day less than mine!" Lu Xianbing said forcefully!

All the students fell silent.

The faces of all the Instructors on the martial arts practice stage also became solemn.

If Xu Jin was just fighting for treatment before, then Lu Xianbing's words were very serious.

It had a hint of challenging the rules of the Dao Academy.

Essentially, Vice President Feng Shu did not make a mistake today; he just acted according to routine and did not show favoritism, he just had bad luck running into Xu Jin, this super troublemaker.

But now, he was being targeted again, how could he not be angry?

Xu Jin, who had just walked off the martial arts practice stage, was also stunned.

He didn't expect Lu Xianbing to pull such a stunt.

He had already offended the Vice President quite badly; he might be targeted in the future.

But now Lu Xianbing pulled such a stunt and even said he was inspired by him, which meant he had completely offended Vice President Feng Shu.

The kind of offense that is irreversible.

After thinking about it, Xu Jin felt he still had to do something.

Easing the situation was impossible.

Then he could only amplify the conflict.

Amplify it to the point where everyone knew that if Deputy Mountain Master Feng gave Xu Jin even a little bit of unfair treatment, it would be retaliation against Xu Jin.

Clap, clap, clap!

A monotonous and loud clapping sound rang out.

It was Xu Jin applauding Lu Xianbing's words.

Ning Yuchan rubbed her forehead.

What's going on with this Star Gathering Season? Why are there so many strange things happening!

"All Instructors, I don't know what you are thinking, but the standards you used today to select candidates for the Inner Courtyard and Middle Courtyard made me and Lu Xianbing feel this way.

Even if our talent evaluations are equal, even if our cultivation is equal, as long as the number of days to Star Pointing is better than ours, we will always be inferior.

After arduous cultivation, the ranking is still based on the number of days to Star Pointing.

That means arduous cultivation is useless!

Then what's the point of cultivating!" Xu Jin said.

On the martial arts practice stage, Vice President Feng Shu's chest heaved violently. He just routinely presided over the assessment and was continuously picked on by a few brats. If they were in a place where no one was around, he would have wanted to kill them.

"It really made me feel that arduous cultivation is useless!

Since I successfully achieved Star Pointing, I have attended morning and evening classes rain or shine, and have not missed a single Six Arts of Star Martial class.

I cultivated diligently all the way to Canxia Fifth Level, and my other free time was spent practicing the Big Dipper Killing Fist and contemplating techniques, all in order to join the Inner Courtyard of the Dao Academy, hoping to go further on the path of cultivation in the future.

But I didn't expect that all my persistence and arduous cultivation, under the same conditions of talent and cultivation, could not compare to the number of days to Star Pointing!

I am not convinced!

Therefore, I have an objection!"

After speaking, Lu Xianbing cupped his hands towards the Instructors on the stage, "I have finished stating my objection. Please make a ruling, all Instructors!"

All the Instructors on the stage looked towards Headmaster Dong Zhao.

Headmaster Dong Zhao was still smiling. After listening, he surprisingly started applauding!

"This is the kind of spirit young people should have!

Speak up against injustice!

Contend when you are not convinced!

Good, since you, Lu Xianbing, have injustice and are not convinced, then I, the Headmaster, will give you a chance!

You can compete fairly with Zhou Du for this Inner Courtyard spot!"

"Thank you, Headmaster!" Lu Xianbing thanked him.

"Both you and Zhou Du are already at Canxia Fifth Level, so there are two ways to compete. One is to each perform martial arts practice, and we will judge based on your mastery of the Big Dipper Killing Fist! The second is actual combat. The two of you will compete in actual combat on the spot, and the winner will enter.

However, in actual combat, fists and feet have no eyes, and Star Art is powerful. Although we will watch over you, if there are accidents, you are responsible for your own life and injuries!" Headmaster Dong Zhao announced the rules directly, then looked at Lu Xianbing, "Which one do you choose?"

"Headmaster, whether it is actual combat or martial arts practice, I have no regrets about life and injuries. I can do either.

Since I am the challenger, I will leave the choice of competition method to Zhou Du.

Whatever he decides, I will accept!" Lu Xianbing said.

"Granted!"

Headmaster Dong Zhao had already looked at Zhou Du, "Zhou Du, Lu Xianbing's talent evaluation and cultivation are the same as yours, and he wants to compete with you for the spot to enter the Inner Courtyard. There are two competition methods, martial arts practice and actual combat. Which do you choose?

Or do you have other ideas?"

Zhou Du was speechless.

At this moment, what objection could he have?

He just wanted to enter the Inner Courtyard safely and didn't want to compete with Lu Xianbing.

But if he didn't dare to accept, the label of 'coward, timid' would be put on him.

Moreover, things had come to this point; if he didn't accept, these Instructors wouldn't agree either.

But when he actually considered the competition method, Zhou Du still had some considerations.

He had never actually fought in combat; he hadn't even killed a chicken.

At this moment, seeing Lu Xianbing's fierce appearance, he was a little scared.

"Reporting to the Headmaster, I choose martial arts practice."

As soon as he said this, Headmaster Dong Zhao's expression remained unchanged, but a trace of regret flashed in Supervisor Tian Zhang's eyes.

This Zhou Du lacks courage; he must never be selected for the Patrolling Star Guard in the future.

The rest was simple.

First, Zhou Du went on stage for martial arts practice. After performing the Big Dipper Killing Fist once, he displayed a total of four basic Star Art: Star Shield, Star Mang, Star Ring, and Star Arrow. He did not display a Star Art in the final move, Zhongkui Ding Shi.

His mastery of the Big Dipper Killing Fist was considered good. In less than two months, he had cultivated four Star Art, and the Big Dipper Killing Fist was close to minor completion.

But when placed among the group with Grade A talent, it was somewhat insufficient.

Whether it was Yue Daqi or Ren Xiaoxiang, they had achieved minor completion of the Big Dipper Killing Fist a month ago and displayed five Star Art.

Lu Xianbing went on stage and performed a set of Big Dipper Killing Fist, displaying Star Shield, Star Mang, Star Ring, Star Arrow, and Star Light Cover, five basic Star Art, in one go.

When the Star Light Cover surrounded Lu Xianbing's entire body, Zhou Du's face was filled with shame, feeling utterly humiliated.

His face was truly slapped...

Ning Yuchan, however, was not surprised at all by this.

Among the four with Grade A talent, Zhou Du cultivated in a standard manner and was considered diligent, but he couldn't be called hardworking.

In this situation, there was no suspense in the result of this competition.

Headmaster Dong Zhao was about to ask for Vice President Feng Shu's opinion again, but when he turned to look, Vice President Feng Shu had already left at some point.

The result was simple: Lu Xianbing entered the Inner Courtyard, and Zhou Du was sent to the Middle Courtyard.

"Everyone, it seems today that the flaws in our academy's rules have reached a point where they must be changed.

Otherwise, what's the point of cultivating?" After the dispute ended, Headmaster Dong Zhao suddenly spoke to the public.

"It must be changed. If not, what's the point of cultivating!" Supervisor Tian Zhang agreed immediately.

"Granted!"

Supervisor Cao Chun was as concise as ever.

"Everyone, this Star Gathering Season concludes here. Disciples of the Inner, Middle, and Outer Courtyards must report to their respective courtyards within three days and choose related daily duties. Failure to do so will be considered as automatically giving up!" Ning Yuchan announced.

What kind of duties?

Xu Jin also began to ponder.
