Cultivation Online novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273 - Who's The Third Disciple?

"S-Sect Master! That’s only two names! What happened to the third spot? I thought we were given three spots for the Mystic Realm?!" One of the disciples there decided to ask him.

Long Yijun turned to look at the disciple who just spoke and responded in a calm voice, "Indeed, the Dragon Essence Temple has been given three spots, and there will be three disciples participating in the Mystic Realm. However, I won’t be naming the third disciple for now."

Long Yijun’s words dumbfounded the disciples. He won’t be naming the third disciple? Is it because they haven’t decided on the third person yet or do they want to keep this individual hidden for some reason?

"..."

Gao Dongya narrowed his eyes with an uncertain expression on his face.

Meanwhile, Xue Jiye raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, ’The Sect Master is clearly trying to hide this individual... But why?’

After pondering for a moment, the image of two glowing golden eyes behind a black jade mask appeared in her thoughts, causing her body to tremble.

’It couldn’t be!’ Xue Jiye cried inwardly after recalling the cultivation prodigy who’d managed to comprehend 100 percent of the Tablet of Comprehension when she participated as an observer.

While the Dragon Essence Temple has never sent a disciple that wasn’t a Core Disciple to the Mystic Realm, there were no rules stating that it must be a Core Disciple!

’It’s possible! That masked person might take the third spot!’ Xue Jiye thought to herself.

However, she hasn’t heard of this person ever since the disciple examination ended.

’What happened to that person, anyway? Did he join the sect? Or did he leave?’ Xue Jiye wondered to herself, feeling the desire to meet with this cultivation genius once again.

Sometime later, another disciple raised his hands and asked, "Sect Master, does that mean you’ve already picked a disciple for the third spot or you’re still thinking?"

The disciples there swallowed nervously after hearing that question, as they also had the same question in their mind.

Long Yijun quickly responded, "The third spot is already occupied by a disciple."

"If that’s the case, why can’t you tell us who this disciple is? While we have no complaints about Disciple Gao and Disciple Xue participating in the Mystic Realm since they definitely qualify more than us, we cannot say the same for this third disciple," said a disciple.

And he continued, "And if I’m correct, we’re allowed to challenge the sect’s decision if we, the Core Disciples, believe that someone isn’t qualified to participate in the Mystic Realm, as that’s how it’s always been."
