Here we go!

Wu and Feng exchanged a glance, remaining silent.

They understood clearly.

The incident with Gu Han was just a minor episode; the main purpose of today's banquet was to build momentum for Du Teng!

"Everyone knows,"

Jiang Hong observed everyone's expressions.

"Though the Martial Academies of the ten nations are nominally under the upper sects, the upper sects rarely interfere with their operations. Hence, while the academies are branches of the same tree, competition between them, both overt and covert, is inevitable! However..."

He changed the subject.

"Ever since the Great Ancestor's departure, our Great Qi Martial Academy has been on the decline for decades, and we've been at a disadvantage in successive competitions. Has anyone considered the reason?"

His words left the instructors red-faced with embarrassment.

Especially Mei Yun.

He almost wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Wu and Feng also frowned deeply upon hearing this.

They had a vague idea of what Jiang Hong was up to.

"Weak!"

Jiang Hong was quite pleased with everyone's reaction and continued: "And it's not just one person who's weak, but our collective strength! From the instructors to the students, we are all a notch below the other academies!"@@novelbin@@

Upon hearing this,

Mei Yun was even more ashamed.

Among the Martial Academy instructors, his strength was indeed the weakest.

"Of course,"

Seeing the desired effect, Jiang Hong softened his tone.

"Weakness is not due to your lack of talent, but the absence of external resources for cultivation! Yuan Crystals, medicinal pills, magical treasures... these are the most important means to enhance your strength nowadays!"

The previously disheartened crowd felt a surge of hope.

Right!

We're only lacking these resources compared to others!
