Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 972: Chapter 599: Attitude_2

As these words were spoken, they found agreement from the people around them.

"Indeed!"

"This year's Dual Crown King has already been discussed by the academy and various forces. His actions not only put the academy in a difficult position but also threaten to break the unspoken rules among the great powers. The struggle for the Newcomer King and Dual Crown King will lead to bloodshed, unnecessarily diminishing the collective strength of our Tower of Heaven Lords."

"In the past, in order to vie for the rankings, the great powers used any means necessary, which led to the death of many promising newcomers and nearly sparked wars between them, needlessly diminishing the strength of our Tower of Heaven Lords and allowing the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss to profit from our losses."

"After much pain and reflection, the great powers set these ranking rules to avoid those hurtful and vengeful situations. Now he's brazenly charging in; what do we do, give him the Dual Crown King spot from our Heaven-Connecting Academy, or break the rules and fight over the rankings once more?"

"If he understood gratitude and sought repayment, that would be one thing, and giving him the spot wouldn't be impossible. But he clearly harbors rebellious intent. We've tried to negotiate with him through Zhang Yan for the Dual Crown King's spot and reward distribution, and he doesn't even give it the time of day. What does that mean?"

"This year, our academy has many outstanding newcomers, and the main campus even has a core seed who has awakened Divine-level Talent, who has been internally selected as the Newcomer King. The academy has invested significant resources in him, preparing him for the Dual Crown King challenge. If this newcomer ruins it..."

"The rewards for Newcomer King and Dual Crown King include a Talent enhancement, which would be a waste on him unless he's also awakened Divine-level Talent."

"His actions alone have placed our Ninth Campus, even the entire academy, in an awkward position. Is this not harboring ulterior motives?"
