Unedited. Will be replaced with edited copy by tomorrow.
Hearing the fatty’s explanation, Qin Yu started thinking. Seems like he must become a famous inner disciple in order to have the opportunity to enter the Qing Feng Palace. Thinkin up to here, he asked in a low tone, “How does one become an inner sect disciple?”
“Cough cough cough…..”The fatty was being strangled so strongly he couldn’t reply, he could only cough fiercely. Qin Yu had no choice but to loosen his hand, to let him breathe.
“Huhuhu…..” The fatty gasped for air for a while before recovering. Then he replied, “Of course this is difficult, but those who are strong have a chance. Every year the sect will hold a competition amongst all disciples. Participating in the competition will determine your ranking and status. When the time comes, outer sect disciples can challenge inner sect disciples. As long as they can defeat three inner sect disciples then they can directly ascend to an inner sect disciple.”
“Of course, there’s another opportunity to ascend, but this opportunity is very uncertain. If there’s an inner sect disciple that takes a fancy to you, you can directly before an inner sect disciple. Just like yesterday, the one called Qing Yun was directly pulled into becoming an inner sect disciple by the first ranked Wu Potian.
It seems like the effects of Qing Yun directly becoming an inner sect disciple were quite prominent, there were so many people that knew about it. A lot of people were jealous and envious to no end.
“I-I said everything. You can let me go.” The fatty spoke very naively.
Qin Yu smiled. But it was a dangerous smile, causing the fatty’s heart to jump in trepidation, “If I were to let you go. Would you tell anyone about me killing your companion and throwing him down the mountain stream?”
“This…… no… nono… I won’t! I definitely won’t. I swear!” The The fatty suddenly responded, hastily spitting out a poisonous oath, “If I were to say anything, I won’t die an easy death.”
“Hey hey. Just now you hesitated to sell yourself out. So I’ll be more at ease if you just died.” Qin Yu’s handed tightened all of a sudden.
“No-- Kakaka….” The fatty was too late in letting out a shout and the sound of his neck shattering suddenly resounded. Soon after his fate was the same as the ones before him, the same as Huang Yongyan and the skinny guy. His corpse was thrown down with the stream and it quickly disappeared into the mist.
After throwing the corpse down, Qin Yu didn’t stay much longer. He was afraid that more problems would crop up as he stayed, so he rapidly left the area and quickly arrived back to his residence.
Three days. After three days he could participate in the disciple entrance examination. After he became a disciple of the sect then he would a way to become an inner sect disciple.
These three days he must properly use to cultivate the ‘Frozen Soul Miracle’ and Secrets of Eternal Life’s ‘Refining Skin’ to give himself more bargaining chips to enter the inner sect. It would also give him more of an opportunity to get revenge on Mu Yang and Lu Meihong.
……
Three days of cultivation passed in the blink of an eye.
In these three days, Qin Yu basically didn’t go outside, and was constantly in cultivation.
After a long bitter session of cultivation, the Frozen Ice Palm finally had some substance to it. ‘Refining Skin’ also had reached the minor level of success. Normal strikes have no way of breaking his skin and thus injuring him.
After three days, it was the day of the disciple entrance examination. On this day, in the plaza outside of the New Disciples Palace stood more than a thousand newcomers. If it wasn’t for the chaos and war going on outside and Zhengyang Sect being in such a chaotic region, there would be much more in the plaza.
This time, the ones in charge of the examination was one of the Great Outer Sect Elders. He was Han Yuan, a Spirit Realm expert.
When the more than a thousand newcomers saw that just a random elder of the outer sect was a Spirit Realm expert, they all let out gasps at the strength of the Zhengyang Sect. One must know, in the outside world, a Spirit Realm expert was extremely rare and uncommon. As long as apower could produce a Spirit Realm expert, they could rise rapidly, and become a superpower.
However, in this place, a Spirit Realm expert was only an elder of the outer sect. If one were to casually count the number of experts at the Spirit Realm, adding on the inner sect elders, the number of Spirit Realm experts added up to ten. And if you were to add on the other people who weren’t elders but were more incredible than the elders… counting them up, Zhengyang Sect had at least ten of these experts. So many Spirit Realm and higher experts, to these newcomers, was an absolutely terrifying thing.
Of course, the outer sect elders were also from the inner sect. If they wanted to cultivate to the Spirit Realm in the outer sect, it was impossible. The resources and manuals in the outer sect were very limited. It was only in the inner sect where one could truly be cultivated, and this was the allure the outer sect disciples yearned to reach.
Using people from the inner sect to be outer sect elders was also to give them a lot of control over the outer sect. Beside Han Yuan was a familiar face, Li Jiuyang. Big Bull still had the command medal that Li Jiuyang had given him.
The medal was in Big Bull’s hands. Who knew if that guy had used it the past couple of days. In any case, Qin Yu despised those kinds of things.
Thinking of Big Bull, Qin Yu suddenly realized that he hadn’t seen Big Bull in the last three days. Even now he didn’t see him. Who knows what kind of place he had run to. Hopefully nothing happened to him. That is to say, he did arrive here with him, and if something were to have happened, he wouldn’t be able to face Wu Lao when he returned to Yan Mountain.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, we welcome you all to the decennial disciple entrance examination of my Zhengyang Sect. I am called Han Yuan, I am the main examiner of this examination. I am very honored…….” Standing atop the stage, Han Yuan started his speech, and first started off pleasantries. After he was done, he started to explain the rules and requirements of the examination.
“Alright, my long-winded words will end here. Now, some people will lead you all to the place where the examination will take place.” After Han Yuan said that last sentence, a group of people who had been prepared a long time ago raised their brightly colored banners. They faced the right side, towards a valley.
