To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

"Now that everyone is here, let me tell you a few words."

"First of all, I'm very happy to see that the cultivation of all of you disciples has greatly improved, and each of you is working hard to improve your strength."

"This proves that my previous reforms were correct and effective."

"If Qingyun Sect wants to grow and develop, it needs hardworking disciples like you."

"However, during the development of the sect, we also encountered some problems. The first one is the difficulty for disciples with low-grade spiritual roots to break through to the foundation-building stage. I believe that the disciples with low-grade spiritual roots, and even those with medium-grade spiritual roots, are very afraid of failure in breaking through."

"Here, as the head of the sect, I assure you again that the Three-in-One Method we have researched is correct and is the most effective way to break through the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"However, at present, we can only find some spiritual objects to temper your body. Due to the lack of physical training techniques, the tempering process is slow and resources are wasted. I promise to find a solution as soon as possible to help you speed up the process."

"As for the method of strengthening the spirit, it is still a bit difficult at the moment, but as the head of the sect, I promise you that I will find a solution within two years."

"Are you willing to believe me?" Sun Yi glanced at the monks in the square.

"I believe in the Master!"

"I believe in the Master, too!"

"I believe that the master will be able to find a solution!"

"Master, we all believe in you!"

……

Suddenly, a tsunami-like cheer rang out in the square, and the huge sound waves swept across the entire Qingyun Sect.

Sun Yi nodded in satisfaction, then raised his hand and pressed the air, and the disciples in the square quieted down.

"I know that many of you say you believe me, but you still have doubts in your heart. After all, there is currently no record of a cultivator with low-grade spiritual roots breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage in our sect."

As expected, as soon as Sun Yi finished speaking, many monks in the square had their eyes flickering. Obviously, everyone knew about this matter and was very worried.

Sun Yi was not angry, but continued: "So later I will personally break through on the spot without using the Foundation Establishment Pill to prove to you that even low-grade spiritual roots can easily break through."

"What? The master wants to demonstrate it to us personally!"

"Don't use the Foundation Establishment Pill yet, this is too dangerous!"

"Yeah, how can this be possible?"

"Master, nothing can happen to you!"

"What should we do? Is the Sect Leader's life in danger?"

……

Many disciples had worried expressions on their faces, worried about Sun Yi's safety.

Sun Yi waved his hand, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp. "But before that, I need to resolve one thing. I'm sure many people have already heard about what happened here before, so I won't elaborate further."

"I am heartbroken and disappointed that something like this happened in the sect."

"The reason I abolished the distinction between inner and outer sect disciples and menial disciples is that I hope all Qingyun Sect disciples can establish a fellow sect friendship. Within Qingyun Sect, you are all the closest of brothers and sisters. When practicing, you should encourage each other, guide each other, and help each other."

"You can't stay in the sect forever. Sooner or later you will leave and venture out into the world. The outside world is full of dangers. You never know when you will be in danger. At that time, perhaps it will be a fellow sect member who can save you."

"Don't look down on my brothers and sisters with low-grade spiritual roots. I hope that when the war comes, you will be my loved ones who can be trusted and my comrades who can fight hand in hand."

Sun Yi's words made many talented disciples look ashamed.

"Some people with high-quality spiritual roots call themselves geniuses, and look down on others once they have achieved a little. Today, I'm going to redefine genius. I want all of you to understand that spiritual roots don't mean everything!"

Just when everyone was wondering what Sun Yi was going to do, he suddenly shouted, "All the disciples at the Foundation Establishment stage with top-grade spiritual roots, please stand in the middle of the square. Everyone else, please stand back."

All the cultivators in the square started to move. The cultivators with superior spiritual roots gathered in the center of the square, while the rest of the disciples retreated to the edge.

Sun Yi took a quick look and saw that there were more than fifty disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage with top-grade spiritual roots, all gathered in the center of the square.

Lian Luo An also stood in the center of the square, in the center of all the disciples.

Sun Yi's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and then he nodded slowly: "Very good, you are all the cultivators with the best spiritual roots in the sect, which is what they call geniuses."

"I have three lower-grade spiritual roots, and I'm only at the Great Perfection stage of the Qi Refining Stage. Now I want to challenge you to see how strong you so-called geniuses are."

As soon as Sun Yi finished speaking, the entire square was in an uproar. All the disciples raised their heads and stared at Sun Yi in disbelief.

They never dreamed that Sun Yi would challenge a Foundation Establishment disciple with superior spiritual roots. It was so surprising.

The quality of Sun Yi's spiritual roots is known to everyone in the sect. Everyone admires and worships him because of his identity as the leader of the sect, but few people understand Sun Yi's strength.

Of course, there are a few people in the team who know that Sun Yi is very strong, including the three disciples guarding the Qi Refining Battle Tower.

At this time, the three of them looked at Sun Yi with excitement, wanting to see Sun Yi show his strength as soon as possible.

"No way, the Sect Master actually proposed to challenge a Foundation Establishment genius!"

"Did I hear correctly? The Sect Master wants to challenge the Foundation Establishment Stage with the cultivation base of the Qi Refining Stage?"

"Oh my god! How is this possible? How can a Qi Refining cultivator possibly be a match for a Foundation Establishment genius? Even the Sect Master can't do that."

"Perhaps the leader is different from ordinary people."

The disciples in the square were talking about it. At this moment, one of the cultivators who had looked down on the disciples with low-grade spiritual roots stood up tremblingly.

"Master...Master, I know I was wrong. I am willing to apologize to them and will never look down on them again. Please revoke your order!"

As soon as this person said this, many cultivators with high-grade spiritual roots in the center of the square spoke up.

"Master, please retract your order. We promise not to make the same mistake again!"

"Please forgive us, Master. We are willing to apologize!"

……

"Hahahaha, what's the matter? Are you sympathizing with me, the Sect Leader? Do you think a low-grade spiritual root loser isn't worthy enough to fight you?"

"Or do you think that since you possess superior spiritual roots and your realm is higher than mine, you are sure to win?"

"Alright, stop trying to persuade me. Just think of me, the Sect Leader, as personally testing your strength. From today on, I want all of you to understand that just because you have talent doesn't mean you're a genius, and just because you don't have talent doesn't mean you're not a genius."

"In my eyes, the strong are geniuses, and strength is everything."

"Everyone step back. You will be my opponent first." Sun Yi shouted and ordered the others to step back. Soon, an area in the center of the square was vacated. The cultivator in the early stage of foundation building stood alone in the center of the square with a bitter look on his face. He didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Hmph!" Sun Yi snorted coldly upon seeing this, and pointed his right hand at the air. A golden light suddenly shot out from Sun Yi's body, and in a flash it turned into a golden sword light that appeared above the monk's head. A terrifying sword energy wave emanated from the golden sword light, instantly filling the entire square.
