Chapter 310 The Coronation Ceremony of the Holy Son (Part 2)
Ning Fengyi's words were like a bombshell dropped into the hearts of everyone who was unaware of the situation, causing almost everyone to erupt in excitement!
The members of Gong Yu's faction only just learned that Bai Ke would be taking over as acting sect leader, and they all stood up in shock.
Gong Yu's eyes were vacant, and he muttered to himself, "How could this be..."
Everyone watching from the sky platform was buzzing with excitement, chattering excitedly with those around them:
"I heard that Bai Ke is only eighteen years old, right? It's already terrifying that he has ascended to the position of Heavenly Strategy Saint Son at such a young age, but I never expected..."
"This is truly unheard of! The acting sect leader's power surpasses that of the millions in Tian Ce Palace, how could an eighteen-year-old boy be appointed to this position?"
"Sect Leader Ning said that the decision to appoint Bai Ke as acting sect leader has been approved by the Supreme Council. So, who are the members of the Supreme Council?"
"The highest council members of my Tian Ce Palace are all Supreme Elders above the Returning Void stage, and the Tianxu True Person presides over the meeting. The authority of this matter is beyond question!"
"Even Master Tianxu nodded in agreement, which means he really thinks highly of Bai Ke. So the question is, just how terrifying is his potential that it would make Master Tianxu take notice?"
"It's unbelievable..."
The venue was filled with a cacophony of voices, becoming incredibly noisy in an instant.
Ning Fengyi frowned upon seeing this, then turned to look at the Tide Emperor in the viewing pavilion. The Tide Emperor also sensed Ning Fengyi's gaze, and the two exchanged a glance.
The Tide Emperor immediately understood. He nodded, and then he and Ning Fengyi shouted at the same time:
"quiet!"
A powerful surge of spiritual energy swept across the entire arena, instantly drowning out the chaotic noises and bringing the place to a sudden silence.
"The coronation ceremony of the Holy Son is underway. Next, we will proceed with the handover of the tokens. Please remain quiet," Ning Fengyi announced.
Then, under everyone's gaze, he took out two rings from his pocket, solemnly handed them to Bai Ke, and gestured with his chin for him to put them on.
Bai Ke wears the Azure Sky Ring on his right thumb, so he doesn't plan to wear either of the rings on his right hand, as that would make him look like a nouveau riche.
As he slipped the silver-white ring with the character "圣" (sacred) engraved in the center onto the index finger of his left hand, Ning Fengyi, with a serious expression, shouted loudly:
"This ring represents your special status as a Holy Son. This means that from now on, you must be careful with your words and actions and set a good example for the younger generation of Tian Ce Palace. Can you do that?"
"Disciple Bai Ke will certainly set an example for us disciples by his own actions and will never disgrace the name of the Holy Son of Tian Ce!" Bai Ke said solemnly.
Then Bai Ke put on the gilded ring engraved with the words "Tian Ce," and Ning Fengyi shouted again:
"This ring represents your special status as acting sect leader. This means that during my absence, you will exercise the power of sect leader on my behalf. Can you be fair and impartial, and fight for the interests of Tian Ce Palace?"
"Disciple Bai Ke is honored to receive such a heavy responsibility, but I will certainly shoulder this responsibility and dedicate myself to the Tian Ce Palace until my dying breath!" Bai Ke nodded solemnly and made a loud promise.
A deafening round of applause erupted in the arena. Whether it was genuine or not, everyone was willing to clap their hands and join in the enthusiastic atmosphere.
With the exchange of tokens concluded, the coronation ceremony was essentially complete, and Bai Ke and Ning Fengyi returned to the viewing building together.
As soon as Bai Ke entered the building, he kept responding to the congratulations from everyone present, which really annoyed him. However, he was still happy to greet acquaintances when he saw them.
In the past, the Supreme Elders usually did not attend the coronation ceremony of the Holy Son, but three Supreme Elders came today. They all had close relationships with Bai Ke. These three were Bai Yan, Liu Ping, and Feng Yu.
Meanwhile, Emperor Tide, Wildfire Child, Master Jueyuan, and others sat in the guest seats, watching him with smiles.
Bai Ke exchanged pleasantries with them one by one, and then sat back in his seat, which Feng Yu jokingly called the exclusive throne of the protagonist of today's ceremony.
The viewing tower has twenty floors, each arranged in a terraced pattern. Bai Ke is currently sitting on the top floor of the viewing tower, where there is only one seat.
Bai Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief. Forcing himself to put on a serious face and maintain it all the time was something he was really not used to.
Next, a bunch of people came to the performance area to perform. Bai Ke watched them listlessly, but he was actually still savoring what he had gained in the cultivation space over the past two days.
Just then, the system beeped:
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the main quest 'Who Dares to Steal From Me' and receiving the quest reward—10000 Evil Points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the title quest [Hypocritical] and receiving the quest reward - the title [Senior Brother] and a [Senior Brother's Special Ruler]."
"【Senior Brother】: Level 1 title, no need to wear it, direct bonus. Effect: Increases the host's combat power in Tian Ce Palace by 5%."
"【Senior Brother's Disciplinary Ruler】: Special item. Effect: It has a remarkable effect when used on subordinate brothers and sisters."
Bai Ke listened quietly, but didn't react much to the task rewards. After all, the rewards from the main quests that hadn't been refreshed in the early stages were pitifully small for Bai Ke at the moment.
The title 'Senior Brother' is quite good, as it directly boosts combat power. However, the 'Senior Brother's Special Ruler' is a bit more mystical; what does the system description mean by "has miraculous effects"?
Ling Xin'er and Su Ziyuan should be considered my junior sisters... Hehe, I'll see how it goes.
There are still a few days before the mission refreshes. Among the title missions, there is still the one to complete, "Conquer Ling Xin'er," and among the daily missions, there is the one to complete, "Dance Master." Bai Ke decided to take this opportunity to finish the missions.
There's a song and dance performance going on right now, so it shouldn't be too awkward for me to go down there.
Without hesitation, Bai Ke leaped and landed in the center of the arena, startling the audience who were enjoying the performance.
The more than twenty female disciples dancing in the arena stopped dancing upon seeing this, and everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Ke.
Bai Ke's gaze settled on Ling Xin'er in the audience, and he smiled slightly as they looked at each other.
The other women around her also noticed what Bai Ke was focusing on, and they all teased Ling Xin'er with meaningful expressions:
"Oh dear, who is our Holy Son looking at?"
"Tsk tsk, why do I feel like he's looking at me?"
"Come on, he's looking at his little sweetheart, Xin'er!"
Ling Xin'er felt both happy and shy as Bai Ke stared intently at her, and a blush quickly crept up her cheeks...
