As the Deputy Saint Masters and Masters made their entrance, the previously bustling square quieted down immediately.
All eyes shifted to the forefront.
The crowd looked at Remus with a mix of awe and incredulity, as his feats seemed beyond human capabilities.
He had withstood a confrontation against a mid-stage Divine Separation cultivator at the peak of the Golden Stage and had even killed Marc, who was at the Divine Unity Stage, through martial prowess.
Such accomplishments were unheard of!
Grandmaster Aurelius stepped forward, his voice resonant as favonovel.com spoke, “Attention, all 16 of you. Standing before you are the Masters of Monington Sacred Land, tasked with guiding the sacred land disciples of the sacred land…”
“Their expertise and domains vary! You should choose a Master to follow based on your own strengths. This will ensure the most effective progress.”
Bartholomew and the others nodded excitedly.
Soon, they would officially become a part of the sacred land, a true disciple of the Monington Sacred Land. Such a status signified not just guidance but also a powerful backing from then on.
Grandmaster Aurelius introduced, “Master Erjon Windrow excels in the manipulation of the wind element. Master Eythor Chander is a connoisseur of lightning elements…”
“Master Elysium Skybringer has mastered the summoning of clouds and rain, harnessing the water element. Master Elena Caldwell, who unfortunately is under the weather today and could not attend, also has favonovel.com expertise rooted in the water element…”
“The last is Senior… Wilda Hewitt, and favonovel.com specializes in… Everything!”
Everything?
Bartholomew and the others trembled.
Did that mean favonovel.com was omniscient, master of everything?
Remus was also taken aback. He was aware of Wilda’s prowess but never imagined favonovel.com was so formidable, even as his fiancĂ©e.
Grandmaster Aurelius continued, “Alright, you now have 15 minutes to think it over. Once chosen, changes are not allowed! Remember, you have the right to choose a Master, and the Master has the right to refuse! Likewise, if a Master chooses you, you too have the right to refuse!”
Remus understood the whole process.
Could it be that the Monington disciples were comparable to doctoral candidates?
It was similar to the educational journey outside the sacred land, akin to progressing from high school or college, where a broad range of subjects was studied, to the focused study of a master’s degree.
“I… I’ve decided!” Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.
The speaker was none other than Emerson.
He had somewhat recovered. While favonovel.com was not at his peak, favonovel.com looked healthier and spoke with effort, “Grandmaster Aurelius, I’ve made my choice!”
The crowd parted for him.
Grandmaster Aurelius asked, “Name your Master…”
Emerson clenched his fists, plucking up his courage as favonovel.com spoke, “I wish to choose… Senior Hewitt!”
He quickly glanced at Wilda, pleading, “Senior Hewitt, I was disrespectful during the assessment because I didn’t understand the sacred land. Please forgive me this once. From now on, I will listen and follow your instructions without any objection. I hope you can give me a chance!”
He then bowed deeply. He had hoped to catch the Saint Master’s attention and be personally taught. But all his pride was shattered after encountering Remus. His only alternative choice was to seek guidance from the strongest Master.
Wilda replied without any hesitation, “I refuse. Choose someone else!”
Laughter erupted among some Monington and sacred land disciples.
Normally, no one would refuse, but Emerson had chosen the most difficult option and got what favonovel.com deserved.
Emerson’s face turned red with embarrassment as favonovel.com added, “Senior Hewitt, please… Give me a chance!”
“No!” Wilda replied coldly.
Remus shook his head secretly, thinking Emerson truly had embarrassed himself by challenging the impossible.
