Martial Master

“Damn, he just refused outright?”

“This is the position of Inner Affairs Elder!”

“Is this kid insane?”

Everyone was stunned, completely unable to believe what they were hearing.

“Are you sure?” Huangfu Nan’s expression also darkened as he squinted and asked.

He had already given the other party the position of Inner Affairs Elder, which was pushing his authority to the limit. The position of a real power elder could not be granted by just one certifying elder; it could only be conferred by the Pavilion Master personally or through a council of elders.

He thought Qin Chen would gladly accept, but who would have thought he would refuse so straightforwardly?

This was simply a slap in the face!

“No matter how high this kid’s talent is, if he is unwilling to join my Alchemy Pavilion, why should I give him face?” Huangfu Nan snorted coldly, feeling very dissatisfied.

Qin Chen was clearly not someone from the Beitian Domain Alchemy Pavilion, yet he had come to his Alchemy City, first fighting fiercely with Wei Jinzhao in the Alchemy Pavilion, and later successfully advancing to a Medicine King in front of so many people, humiliating Wei Jinzhao, the Holy Son of Alchemy City. Yet in the end, he still refused to join Alchemy City.

Even if Huangfu Nan had a good temper, he couldn’t help but feel anger rising within him at this moment.

He valued Qin Chen and was dissatisfied with Wei Jinzhao, all because of Qin Chen’s astonishing talent. But if Qin Chen was unwilling to join his Beitian Domain Alchemy Pavilion, why should he help someone else’s ambitions at the cost of his own?

Elder Jiao, standing to the side, grew anxious, realizing that Elder Huangfu was genuinely angry.

Meanwhile, Wang Yongsheng and Wei Jinzhao were overjoyed. This Qin was simply too arrogant; everyone knew that Huangfu Nan was extremely protective. If Qin Chen agreed to join the Beitian Domain Alchemy Pavilion, he might even receive support from Huangfu Nan. But who would have thought that Qin Chen would refuse him?

This was simply self-sabotage.

Faced with the strange atmosphere in the arena, Qin Chen smiled slightly and said, “Elder Huangfu, I indeed do not want the position of Inner Affairs Elder, but I would like to request another position from you.”

“Another position?” Huangfu Nan, who was prepared to speak, was taken aback. “What position?”

Qin Chen stated clearly, “I want to be the Holy Son!”

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire square erupted in an uproar.

Damn, no wonder this kid was unwilling to accept the position of Inner Affairs Elder; it turned out he wanted to be the Holy Son of Alchemy City!

What great ambition!

Though the position of Inner Affairs Elder was impressive and could manage some affairs in the Alchemy Pavilion, the promotion space for an Inner Affairs Elder was towards the real power elder and official elder roles, and it was possible to become the vice Pavilion Master of Alchemy City in the future.

It looked imposing, but compared to the Holy Son, it was still lacking somewhat.

Why is that?

Need I even ask?

The Holy Son—what does it mean? It is a title cultivated towards becoming the heir of Alchemy City. Once distinguished, the Holy Son is expected to oversee Alchemy City in the future and become its master.

This was far more prestigious than any Inner Affairs Elder.

Didn’t you see Wei Jinzhao, who was nothing more than a Holy Son, not responsible for any business in the Alchemy Pavilion, yet dared to reprimand a Medicine King like Zhao Ruhui, a future Outer Affairs Elder? What gave him the right? It was his identity as the Holy Son.

Even if he were to fail in the competition for the sole Holy Son in the future, it would still be effortless for him to directly hold a position as a real power elder.

Can you see how impressive the Holy Son is?

Such a title, is it something one can just claim?

If it were someone else saying this, they would have long been scorned by countless alchemists present. Even if they weren’t scorned to death, they would be drowned in spit.
