Under the crowd's gaze, that figure steadily became clearer and clearer. At last, an image of a young man appeared in front of everyone.
"Which school is this disciple from?"
Elder Mickey, one of the elders from the Rose Finch School, queried while looking at the elders and stewards of the other three schools.
"It's him!"
Two elders and five stewards of the Blue Dragon School immediately recognized the young man.
It was Martin Xiao from the Blue Dragon School.
Surprised, the two elders and five stewards looked at each other with their mouths agape.
As the senior leaders of their school, they all knew the true identity of the follower who went by the name Martin Xiao.
He was none other than Austin Lin from the East Mainland!
Besides, it was Anderson who decided to put Austin into the Blue Dragon School.
In fact, the latter had been admitted as a formal disciple of their school. However, due to some incidents, Austin missed the day of gathering and didn't make it to the school in time. He then managed to disguise himself and enter the school as a new student's follower.
Elder Chris later found out about this and suggested that Austin should continue to toughen himself first as a follower. If he performed well as a follower, the leaders then would consider restoring his identity as a disciple.
Elder Chris was always in charge of the recruitment process in the East Mainland. Moreover, he was a respected and powerful person in the Blue Dragon School. Since he suggested so, the other top leaders had no objection at all.
"Ha-ha! Elder Mickey, he is from our Blue Dragon School.
But I'm afraid you won't believe it if you know who he really is.
He is just a mere follower of a new disciple.
This young man is not the kind of disciple you're expecting,"
Elder Landon from the Blue Dragon School uttered with a smile.
"A follower?!" All the elders and stewards of the other three schools were completely stunned at his words.
'No way! Elder Landon must be lying, ' they all thought to themselves.
Tevin, who was from the Rose Finch School, also listened to the elders' conversation and he, too, was completely stunned.
"No way!
How could he be a follower?"
he murmured, seeming not to believe it too.
The others could not find themselves to believe Elder Landon too. It was not impossible, yes, but hearing a story of a follower being much stronger than esteemed seeded disciples was really once in a blue moon.
After all, there was a major difference between a seeded disciple and a follower in the four major schools.
The former was as strong and ferocious as a dragon, while the latter was as weak and frail as an insect.
They were undoubtedly at different levels.
Never had there been a narrative of a follower killing a seeded disciple!
"Elder Landon, you better be honest and tell us the truth.
Just tell us he is a seeded disciple.
I can't believe you would actually lie to us just to earn a little bit of dignity for your school.
What would you get out of that?
Once your lie is exposed, I'll see to it that you'll be embarrassed as hell in front of your people,"
Elder Mickey snapped as he flapped his sleeve and pulled a long face. He was obviously furious, thinking that he was fooled.
"Elder Landon, you must be kidding.
How could this kid be only a follower of your school when he killed a seeded disciple from the Rose Finch School?
Are you taking us as fools!?"
The rest of the people also shook their heads, with displeasure on their faces. They were sure that Elder Landon was lying to them.
"Well, you all firmly believe that I'm lying, but I'm afraid I'm not.
This guy's name is Martin Xiao, and he is indeed one of our followers.
Go and ask any new disciple of our school and you'll know I'm not lying,"
Elder Landon answered calmly as a smile flashed on his mouth.
"Okay, let me ask!"
With a wave of his hand, Elder Mickey released his strong suction force to drag a new disciple of the Blue Dragon School in front of him.
