Martial Hero Rebirth

Chapter 241: Leadership Competition

“As you all know, two years ago, vicious cults returned to our Central Plains and wreaked havoc on the fist world. The entire righteous path is at stake, even Shaolin has fallen on hard times. Now is the most critical moment for the righteous sects and therefore Shaolin convened this conference with one purpose: to ensure the survival of all of us!”

“Righteous heroes of all sects, we must unite to repel the demonic threat and drive the enemies out of our lands! This is the only way to return peace to the Central Plains!”

He roared, using Lion's Roar, one of the Seventy-Two Superior Shaolin Skills. His voice, like a stormy wind, reached every corner of the city and lingered ringing in people's ears..

The blood boiled in the veins of people, everyone remembered the difficulties and sorrows of the past two years. Most of them lost loved ones, some were left without anything at all and fled from one place to another all these two years.

They hid, fled through the forests, watched as their brothers and sisters had their heads cut off simply because they were born in the Central Plains.

Their lives were taken from them, how could that not make them angry??

“Let's kill the demons!”

The entire square roared with one voice. The noise was deafening, as if there was only one sound left in the whole world.

The walls shook due to their screams, the sound reached the sky and spread even beyond the city..

“Okay, okay, keep quiet,” said the Awakened Monk, smiling arrogantly due to a sense of power. “Today begins the Conference of Heroes, and with it a counterattack against the vicious cults! Since ancient times, good has always defeated evil, and this time too, victory will be ours!”

“Victory will be for the righteous!”

Countless people screamed, cheering for victory with their own voices..

“Victory will be for the righteous!”

People's blood was boiling, they were ready to go into battle right now.

Even Lin Yi nodded involuntarily. The Awakened Monk knew how to control people. With just a few words, he turned the joyful spectators into a militant crowd.

In just a minute, the emotions of everyone present reached climax.

The awakened monk also looked very pleased with himself. He felt that he could lead all the people with him right now.

So I used the lion's roar again and exclaimed:

“Defeating the demons will not be easy! You can no longer fight as dirty as before! You need to form an alliance, choose a leader, and let him lead the troops of heroes into battle! Only together can we resist the demons!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the figurehead in the crowd shouted:

“That's right, we must choose a leader for ourselves!”

“I agree too!” another stood up and pointed to the Shaolin places. “I choose the Awakened Monk! He must lead us!”

“Who else but the Awakened Monk?!”

Several famous, bribed people rose up one after another, and each proposed a young Shaolin master. He was all smiles and his heart was pounding with joy..

Lin Yi frowned. All of these were allies of Shaolin. In a past life, each of these sects rose due to their good relationship with the monastery, and at the cost of countless other sects.

Well, in the past, Shaolin didn't have any competitors because they first waited for everyone to die. Lin Yi naturally couldn't let him become the leader and was about to get up to voice his objections when suddenly the voice of one of the heroes of the small sects rang out:

“The Awakened Monk is very powerful, but does he, the third in our generation, have an irrefutable right to lead us all? And then, the third one is only in theory, because he has not yet killed a single first-class expert! I, Zhao Zhitian, am the first to speak out against!”

All voices suddenly fell silent. The monk’s smug face hardened, and the hatred of a man ready to beat his brother to death appeared in his gaze. But only for a second before the black rot again hid behind an indifferent mask.

Noticing the glances of everyone gathered in the square, Zhao Zhitian felt proud and pointed at Lin Yi:

“Heroes, I believe that our leader should be the chief disciple of the Five Mountain Swords, Lin Yi, the Deadly Heavenly Sword God! He is the strongest in our generation among the righteous sects, and not only killed the experts in the first grade, but even defeated the great elders at his peak! And as if strength alone were not enough, he has been commanding an entire army for two years now. Who, if not him, deserves to become our leader??!”

There were whispers everywhere.

Lin Yi was surprised. He didn't expect anyone to be brave enough to go against Shaolin for him. Moreover, openly declare that he is better suited for this role than the Awakened Monk, who has not yet seen real blood.

He was ready to do everything himself, but instead another person did his dirty work for him. How can you not be happy about this??

Only the Awakened Monk grew darker with every second.

'Cause it's hard to fight the truth.

Just like Zhao Zhitian had said, he was not as famous as Lin Yi, and was only ranked third despite all his attempts to bribe the damned journalists. And there was nothing to compare in the number of feats - only one of them fought against first-class experts, while the other trained only in solitude and against peers.

Before he could figure out how to take control of the situation, the crowd's emotions turned upside down.

“Lin Yi, Sword God, here is our leader!”

“The Sword God is the strongest in our generation! The strongest in history! He should be a leader!”

“Only Lin Yi is worthy!”

“Lin Yi!”

All the chaos around gradually merged into a single voice demanding that Lin Yi be chosen. People shouted much louder than the monks and allies of Shaolin.

Only the Wudang Sect continued to remain silent, watching Shaolin with curiosity.

Throughout their lives, and the lives of their fathers, this monastery has always been a leader. It seemed somehow unnatural to choose someone other than him.

But now, almost all the small and illustrious sects were shouting Lin Yi's name.

How could Shaolin react to this??

Their title as leader of the righteous path was attacked for the first time in hundreds, if not thousands of years.!

And who! Coming from a family of commoners!

Laughing stock!

Even Lin Yi was wondering what would happen next. He had no doubt that the Awakened Monk understood his weakness in comparison with him. By honor, he should still challenge, but what kind of honor can there be in Shaolin?

At this moment, one person suddenly jumped into the ring, bowed, and shouted loudly:

“I am a disciple of the Tang Sect, Tang Xiao, and I don't care who becomes the leader. I don't care about opinions, I came here for strength!”

After waiting a second for the crowd to calm down, he pointed with his right hand and shouted:

“Lin Yi! I've heard about your exploits and I don't believe any of them! If you are what they say you are, then accept my challenge.!”

He spoke loudly and clearly, everyone in the square heard him.

Lin Yi was a sensation in the fist world. Victory over him was victory over everyone. So the people who had just supported him shouted:

“Sword God! Take on the challenge!”

“Defeat him!”

“Come on, make it!”

“Show him where the crayfish spend the winter!”

The crowd cheered.

The Awakened Monk stood gloomy as darkness itself. People seem to have forgotten him.

But suddenly a ray of light penetrated between the clouds.

He figured out how to deal with the upstart.

Ha...

Lin Yi, meanwhile, sat and watched what was happening..

Yesterday he was challenged, today he was chosen as a leader, and now he is being challenged again.

He used to challenge people to at least be heard.

And when everything changed so much?

But it was understandable. The most talented of their generation gathered in Kaifeng, naturally none of them knew fear.
