My Master Knows It All

443: Chapter 171 Unconvinced_3 443: Chapter 171 Unconvinced_3 When the Hundred Peaks Sect was poor, none of you thought of me or gave me any Spirit Stones.

Now that someone has come to our door for a debate, and you lost, you suddenly think of me.

When did I ever say I was skilled at Scholar Path?

I never hinted I was good at achieving enlightenment through it, yet you all believed in me and directly claimed I could beat others!

Who gave you the courage?

Was it me?

The crowd around finally understood why Lu Yiren had sought out Cao Zhen.

“Peak Master Cao is also proficient in Scholar Path?”

“Isn’t the Scholarly Cultivation Peak among the Top Ten Peaks of the Hundred Peaks Sect dedicated to the cultivation of Scholar Path?

If their Peak Master lost in debate against the Scholar Madman, how could Cao Zhen from Hundredth Peak possibly win against him?”

The more people thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

If even the master of the tenth peak had lost, why did the members of the Hundred Peaks Sect believe that the master from the hundredth ranked peak could win?

What was the deal with this Cao Zhen?

Li Qinglei, upon hearing Lu Yiren’s words, wanted to laugh in his heart.

What was this attitude from the Hundred Peaks Sect?

They clearly couldn’t accept their loss!

After being defeated by others, they still claimed to have someone who could win.

Now look, the other party had come directly to the Capital City.

He wanted to see how the people from the Hundred Peaks Sect would respond!

Li Qinglei looked at Lu Yiren and found him more and more pleasing to the eye.

Lu Yiren looked at Cao Zhen as if he had just remembered something and said, “Good, if I win the debate against you later, I won’t need to debate with your disciple anymore.”

“My disciple?” Cao Zhen was a bit dazed.

How had this gotten connected to his disciple?

“Don’t you know?” asked Lu Yiren, looking at Cao Zhen.

“You have a disciple on the Debate Team who is now second to none, visiting all the great Immortal Sects for debates and undefeated so far.

No matter what the topic, he wins every debate.

I originally wanted to debate with your disciple, but your Hundred Peaks Sect’s Debate Team was always on the move, with no fixed location to be found.

Now that I’ve seen you, it’s just as well.

If I beat his teacher, it’s naturally the same as beating him.”

Cao Zhen was a bit stunned.

The disciple from the Debate Team was naturally Xiang Ziyu.

What kind of debates could Xiang Ziyu engage in?

Except for teaching him a bit about Artifact Refining, he hadn’t taught him anything else.

Surely Xiang Ziyu couldn’t always rely on bluffing to debate with others?

Otherwise, what else could he debate about?

Discussing novels with others, perhaps?

Or inviting others to jump off a cliff?

Surrounding people, upon hearing this, couldn’t quite react.

Cao Zhen’s disciple was from Four Treasures Peak, the disciple from the lowest-ranked peak of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Could he really be undefeated in debates outside?

Moreover, winning no matter what the debate topic was?

Could that really be a disciple from the Hundredth Peak?

It’s true that being stronger in debate doesn’t necessarily mean a higher cultivation base.

But if one is strong in debate, their cultivation base won’t be too weak.

After all, if you understand the Dao more deeply, your cultivation can’t possibly be weak.

If your cultivation base is temporarily inferior to others, it might be because they have cultivated for a longer time, so they are stronger.

However, someone stronger in debate would have more potential in cultivation.

Besides, if their cultivation base was too low, how could they possibly grasp so many aspects of the Dao?

Once their understanding deepens, their cultivation speed couldn’t possibly be slow.

If Cao Zhen’s disciple is so strong in debates, his cultivation base certainly can’t be too weak.

How could such a person, such a peak, possibly be just the last-ranked peak within the Hundred Peaks Sect?

The Hundred Peaks Sect has just re-ranked the one hundred peaks.

If such a Four Treasures Peak, based on strength, is still ranked last, then how strong must the Hundred Peaks Sect be?

If that were the case, we might as well not call them one of the top ten Immortal Sects, but simply refer to the Hundred Peaks Sect as the strongest Immortal Sect!

That’s obviously not possible.

So, they were somewhat unable to understand why Four Treasures Peak was only ranked at the bottom!

Lu Yiren, seeing Cao Zhen somewhat out of it, became a bit impatient and said, “Peak Master Cao, shall we start the debate now?

I don’t want to trouble you, you go first.

What do you think Scholar Path is?”

Before Cao Zhen could speak, from below, Lan Pili had already started shouting again, “Our Hundred Peaks Sect’s Peak Master Cao, debating with a disciple of the Scholar Dao Sect, does anyone dare to place a bet?

Same rules as always, no matter how many Spirit Stones you wager, our Hundred Peaks Sect will match it.”

What was there to fear?

Peak Master Cao had already proven time and again with facts that, in the realm of debating, he was a unique presence and would not lose.

In any case, no matter what the debate topic was, just blindly bet on Peak Master Cao to win.

As his words fell, the surrounding crowd’s eyes instantly gleamed, and they began to shout out one after another.

“I bet on Lu Yiren winning five hundred thousand taels of Spirit Stones!”

“Eight hundred thousand taels of Spirit Stones on Lu Yiren as well!”

“I’m betting on the Scholar Madman too!”

Although Lu Yiren was a scholar, he didn’t resemble one at all, appearing incredibly arrogant.

Yet, as it happened, his understanding of Scholar Path was deep enough that as he continuously debated sect to sect, he quickly garnered the nickname “Scholar Madman.”

Many people got used to calling him Scholar Madman instead of his actual name.

It didn’t matter to the crowd whether Cao Zhen had won before or not; betting on the Scholar Madman was never wrong.

Although Lan Pili’s words revealed his confidence in Cao Zhen,

no matter how confident they were, they did not believe Cao Zhen could win a debate on the Scholar Path over Lu Yiren!

The Scholar Dao Sect is regarded as the most orthodox Scholar Path within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

The pursuit of enlightenment in the entire dynasty began with the Scholar Dao Sect.

Even many say that for all Scholar Cultivators, the Scholar Dao Sect is their Holy Land!
