"You will enter the Lord rank in a few months, right? This would mean that I should be much weaker than you. If I have lost my sanity and be as weak as you say, let's figure out the truth after the Grand meeting!"
Jason hadn't said much during the Grand Meeting yet, and it was only now that he attracted the other big clan- and ancient sect leaders' attention!
Others would rather hold back and refrain from being too arrogant in front of the powerhouses that were present.
But that was not all because the opponents they had to face multiple foreign intelligent races but also several big clans!
As such, the atmosphere had already been tensed up and nobody wanted to take any risks.
This was exactly why Jason's confidence caused everyone to be a little bit astonished as Merl Arths said
"Take care of your matters after the grand meeting and don't interrupt it! If your words are true and you are strong enough to defeat the Ifrytor at the Magus and Grandmagus rank, there would still be a small issue for you.
You are only one person and there are tens of thousand Ifrytors you would face at once! Can you reassure everyone that not a single one of them would escape your grasp, destroying the entire plan I made up? That's probably not the case, thus I marked the Ifrytor race as the Nua and Eara clan's target.
If you have something against my decision give me a proper reason, or wait until the Grand meeting has ended before you propose a proper plan to the Nua and Eara clan!"
Jason understood what Merl Arths wanted to say, but he found that the middle-aged man was a little bit too inflexible.
"I'm not here to drink tea and waste my time either. It's not like everyone accepted the plan. In the end, it is much better for the army heads' to know about the entire plan so that everyone knows everything.
Otherwise, who knows what might happen? I don't want to be in the crossfire of someone else's attack, only because I didn't know about their plans…"
He wanted to continue voicing out his opinion, but unfortunately, Shane prevented him from doing so by covering his mouth.
"Shut it, please! What you're doing right now is not really helpful…"
Squinting his eyes as he heard Shane's words, Jason was not sure what the hell was going on.
'Isn't the grand meeting supposed to learn about the clans and sects in order to figure out the best plan to fight against the Drake alliance?
Am I completely oblivious to what is going on, or does this look more like most clans have already accepted the plan without doubtings its efficiency?'
Jason just shook his head, thinking that there was something odd about the entire grand meeting when he heard a few ancient sects voicing out their opinion too.
"Why are we not combining our forces and face each clan and sect on their own? This separation is rather disadvantageous because some clans have more members at the Magus and Grandmagus rank than others.
At the same time, everyones' soul awakening is unique and it would be useless to send someone with a high-ranked soulbond with a water affinity to face a race with an innate thunder affinity.
Even without looking at everything in a less detailed manner, I can pick out several dozen cases where descendants have awoken a strong soul with different compatible affinities than the entire clan or sect has!
Do you want to sacrifice them just like that? Without asking whether the plan you set up is really as good as you make it??"
It was the Blood sect patriarch who had said this, and once he had finished his last sentence, he kept staring at Jason.
This made him uncomfortable and Jason tried to divert his attention to Merl Arths, only to notice that he was also looking at him.
Clearing his throat he scratched the back of his head with cold eyes piercing at Jason before he said with a loud voice
"I had yet to reveal my plan completely and the information I laid out was just the foundation. Because we've been interrupted, I couldn't point out the issue you've just mentioned!"
After that, almost a whole day had passed and Merl Arths pointed out the issue with the different suitable affinities. At the same time, the entire meeting was allowed to voice out their issues and how one could fix them.
They had also created an Elite unit with the most powerful humans of every big clan, while only the clan and sect heads had been excluded because they had to lead their people!
Jason hadn't said anything since he had voiced out his opinion which was mostly because Shane had told him to stay quiet.
Meanwhile, the Shiabi clan patriarch had glanced at him out of the corner of his eyes, but Jason was unable to figure out why exactly he did so.
What Jason found great was the fact that Merl Arths didn't think that he had intentionally voiced out his opinion to offend him, which hadn't been his intention, to begin with!
Rather than that, Jason had just wanted to help and bring the best result out of the plan he thought to be lacking something.
Though, in the end, Jason could tell that he was too impatient and foolish.
As such he felt a little bit embarrassed, only to hear Merl Arths ending the Grand meeting by saying.
"Now that we've solved most issues, let's find out whether we can change the strategy which the Nua and Eara clan made to prevent as many casualties as possible!
Golden-silverish eyes youth, are you ready to demonstrate whether or not you are insane and was as Dala Nua has said?"
Merl Arths eyes were glimmering in curiosity instead of anger, but Jason found this scarier than the other way around!
Once he had taken a deep breath he nodded his head before saying
"Right here or outside?"
Under normal circumstances fighting outside would be better for him because he would be able to utilize the landscape to his advantage.
However, that was not the case if he were to face the young woman called Dala Nua, who had voiced her opinion about his 'overconfident' and 'insane' behavior.
The young woman had a water affinity at the Mid-Lique stage and her body had been refined with a water-based body refining technique too.
As such she was stronger than most descendants of big clans at her age, otherwise, she wouldn't be eligible to attend the Grand Meeting in the first place!
If Jason was honest, he was not confident to defeat her, owing to her affinity advantage!
Solaris' was a pure flame and there was no need to determine whether a fire or water affinity at the same rank was stronger!
However, what allowed Jason to calm down was the fact that Solaris' had multiple abilities while its strength was also higher than Dala Nua's water affinity!
As such Jason was able to stand up calmly when Merl Arths said
"Let's go outside. Afterward,? you can speak with the Nua and Eara clan heads to figure out a plan before telling us everything at the next and hopefully last meeting"
There was a hidden meaning behind Merl's words and almost everyone was able to decipher them
'He thinks that the youth with golden-silverish eyes will defeat Dala despite their gap of more than 900 drops of liquefied mana??'
