"Who are the two that you speak of?" asked the Branch Master, curious as to who Adam believed should make it to the national tournament.
If there were multiple powerful cultivators that take part in a regional tournament, it is likely that not all of them can make it to positions that portray their true capabilities.
And for that reason, Branch Masters could admit as many cultivators as they saw fit to the national tournament.
However, most of the time it would only be one or at most a handful of individuals, since there were quite a lot of regions in the country that the Martial Arts Union had branches in.
In the particular region that Adam had joined the tournament in, there had only ever been one cultivator that made it through to the national tournament and there weren't usually many extremely talented individuals.
That was to be expected from a region that wasn't one of the richest or most powerful in the country, but this time, the Branch Master wasn't against Adam's public request.
However, it depended on who those two were.
"Su Lan and Gong Yunru should make it to the national tournament," he stated.
The Branch Master definitely agreed that Su Lan should make it through and even with her supposed weak physique, she was still worthy to take part in the national tournament.
However, Gong Yunru had been eliminated on the first round of the tournament and in quite an embarrassing manner, despite how much he showboated during the match.
And in the eyes of the Branch Master, although he was impressive, it was nothing amazing that he hadn't seen before.
Gong Yunru who was in the audience hadn't expected Adam to put his name forward, and it wasn't like they were friends or knew each other.
He had looked down on Adam and suffered quite the crushing defeat, but it made him want to work harder and refine his spear-wielding skills.
Although not on the level of Su Lan, he had some skills and a lot of potential, so it would be a shame for him to not make it to the nationals.
But in all honesty, Adam, just like the Branch Master, was more adamant about Su Lan making it through, but not too bothered about Gong Yunru.
Just as he was about to refuse Gong Yunru's admittance to the next tournament, Gong Yunru suddenly jumped out from the crowd and the barrier that had been put up before had been put down, since the battles had ended.
And it wasn't like anybody dared to go against the Branch Master of the Martial Arts Union, so nobody was worried about someone from the crowd jumping down from their seats.
It was a big offence to do so, but Gong Yunru didn't care about that and wanted to redeem himself for his previous poor display of skill and character.
Just like Su Lan, he had a fire in his eyes that Adam liked, both literally and figuratively, as he landed before the Branch Master and Adam and bowed his head.
Known for his arrogance and wild nature, it was unusual to see him act so respectfully as he pierced his spear into the ground and pleaded with the Branch Master to let him go through.
"I know I am skilled enough and ready for it. I am willing to beg you or do whatever you want me to for this opportunity. Please Branch Master, let me go through."
The Branch Master thought about it for a few seconds, before making his decision.
"Well, you are quite capable and seem to have the ambition and determination that cultivators need," he mumbled.
"Okay, I hereby announce that Gong Yunru, Liao Wei and Su Lan will all make it to the national tournament and are the winners of today's tournament," he announced.
Gong Yunru fell to his knees and thanked the Branch Master gratefully and Adam even more, since he was the one who brought up his name in the first place.
For him to act so humbly, it was amazing, and even his family who were previously ashamed by his performance, were glad he had been reformed by the loss that he suffered.
"Get up and repay me by doing well in the national tournament. You have talent and potential, but you focus on pleasing the crowd and using flashy moves that aren't as good as they could be. If you work hard and focus, I am sure you could do well," Adam said to him as he pulled him up.
"The spear is quite the difficult weapon to master, but you have the foundation and just need to build on it. So don't let me down and make me look like an idiot for vouching for you, during the nationals," Adam encouraged as he slapped his back.
Picking up his spear Gong Yunru declared, "I will make sure to defeat you in the national tournament. I appreciate your advice and help, but from here on out, we are rivals!"
Adam just smiled chuckle to himself, seeing him as a mere kid to help, despite him being around the same age or probably older.
He also didn't seem to be a bad person at heart and knew that his little nudge would help him achieve incredible things.
Gong Yunru left the arena and was eager to start training, with the short time he had until the national tournament, while the Branch Master concluded the tournament and dismissed the crowd.
Adam sat in the waiting area and waited for the Branch Master to finish, before going to him and asking for permission to go to the private recovery room that Su Lan was in.
"Sure, I was just about to head there myself and you could have just asked one of my subordinates to escort you there," he answered.
But just thinking about the Martial Arts Union member who had escorted him back to the arena annoyed him, and he would rather walk on nails than have to be led by her anywhere.
