Chapter 2104 Is This Young Friend Really... An Alchemist? (1)
The Constellation Society!
The remaining members of the Constellation Society were all gathered in a manor. There were around 300 people left.
It was undeniable that the suppression from the Constellation Society and the encroachment of other forces had dealt a severe blow to the Constellation Society.
Initially boasting over two thousand members, the society had now dwindled to just a little over three hundred.
Fortunately, most of those who departed were peripheral members.
Individuals like Yue Qiqiao were not foolish. Many who joined recently were enticed by the reputation and benefits associated with Wang Teng, only seeking personal gain and never considering contributing to the Constellation Society.
These recent additions were essentially in an observational phase. Now that they had left, it indicated that they couldn't withstand the scrutiny, and their departure wasn't regrettable.
On the other hand, the remaining three hundred members, many of whom had been with the Constellation Society from the beginning, held a different sentiment toward the organization.
Even in the current dire circumstances, none of them were willing to give up.
At this moment, Yue Qiqiao stood before the assembly, surveying the group. She could discern the anxiousness in everyone's eyes as the news of the Grand Disciple Acceptance Ceremony circulated.
Five days!
There were only five days!
It was too short. Would they still have a chance?
Many individuals couldn't help but feel a slight wavering in their hearts. They had initially believed that Wang Teng's return would lead them to a resurgence.
However, reality proved to be far from easy.
Everyone sighed. They were uncertain about their future.
Upon arriving at the Stellar Academies, these individuals were full of enthusiasm, thinking that they could carve out a new path. Yet, reality dealt them a harsh blow.
The competition within the Stellar Academies was even more terrifying than in the outside world.
They were undoubtedly talented, but greater geniuses were resembling formidable mountains standing in their way. Moreover, they faced oppression from senior students. If they didn't resist, their only choice would be submission.
"Vice president, how about we go for the Freshmen Leaderboard now?" Someone broke the silence, suggesting a proactive approach.
"Yes, vice president, let's compete for the Freshmen Leaderboard now; there's still time."
"Our strength may be a bit lacking, but doing something is better than doing nothing."
"If we fall short, so be it. At most, we'll face some challenges when seeking an apprenticeship, but we still have a chance to catch up later."
…
Someone took the lead, and others echoed the sentiment. After all, they were all geniuses, and they had considerable confidence in themselves.
Being behind now didn't mean they would always lag behind others in the future.
Yu Yunxian and Boret were present. They looked at everyone and frowned.
As time drew closer, the emotions of the group became somewhat restless.
"Silence!" A cold voice came out of Yue Qiqiao's mouth.
The surroundings immediately fell silent.
"Don't you believe the president?" Yue Qiqiao looked at everyone and asked calmly.
"Vice president, it's not that we don't believe in the president, it's just a matter of time…" Someone began to speak, but their words were cut off.
"Don't we still have five days? Even if it's three days, what's the issue? Don't you understand the president's capabilities?" Yue Qiqiao spoke in an extremely indifferent tone:
"The last time, the president made more than ten furnaces of grandmaster-level pills in three days. Do you think time is insufficient?"
"You don't understand Boss. He's best at creating miracles!" Wade stood up and smiled.
The expressions of the crowd changed as they looked at Wade.
In the previous showdown with the Qingyan Society, Wade's ruthless and decisive performance left a deep impression on all the members of the Constellation Society.
If they had thought Wade was somewhat timid before, only relying on flattering Wang Teng and his computer skills to join the Constellation Society, their perception had completely changed now.
He might seem timid, but he was, in fact, a ruthless person!
To martial warriors, reputation was built through battles.
Wade's previous combat record had already proven everything.
No one dared to underestimate him anymore.
At this moment, his words naturally carried considerable weight.
Moreover, his various performances indicated that, while he might flatter Wang Teng, he genuinely believed in him.
In contrast, many of them, despite not flattering Wang Teng openly, lacked a certain level of trust compared to Wade.
For a moment, many felt ashamed of themselves.
"Just a while ago, the president informed me that he has gone to the Alchemy Volcano" Yue Qiqiao continued.
"The president went to the Alchemy Volcano!" Many people's eyes lit up.
Everyone trusted Wang Teng's alchemy mastery. Now that he had gone to the Alchemy Volcano, within three days, there should be results.
"Since the president is willing to fight for us, why should we not trust him?" Yue Qiqiao continued:
"In three days or even less, the president will come out of the Alchemy Volcano. I believe that each of us will gain something."
"This is what everyone deserves. Since you have chosen to believe in the Constellation Society, we will not disappoint you."
"Everything will be revealed in three days!"
After Yue Qiqiao finished speaking, everyone's gaze turned firm.
"All right! Let's wait for three more days!"
"Yes, waiting for three more days won't hurt. We believe in the president!"
"The president will lead us to the top!"
…
The members of the Constellation Society were all shouting enthusiastically as if they had taken some kind of stimulant.
Yue Qiqiao heaved a sigh of relief. She managed to convince them.
Leading a faction was truly exhausting.
