"Let's stick to the main topic, quit getting sidetracked..."
"Oh, by the way, why is Junior Brother allowed to participate? Did Elder Master Xun give him the spot?"
"That's probably it."
"Why?"
"'Cause Junior Brother's Formation drawing is amazing, duh."
"No shit, like we didn't know that? But..." The disciple hesitated, "Isn't this the big competition for Foundation Establishment Late Stage? The opponents are all a whole grade above us, and they're the top Formation geniuses from across the Qian Learning State Boundary, even from the Four Great Sects. How are we supposed to compete with that?"
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.
No matter how much they believed in Junior Brother's Formation prowess, they weren't crazy enough to think he was above every Formation prodigy in the Qian Learning State Boundary.
Especially when those rivals are all a grade ahead.
