114 Grass-Wood Division (1/2)

Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan dragged their tired bodies back to their room.

“What? Brother Zhao Feng challenged a substitute inner disciple?” Nan Gongfan was surprised when he heard this news. Yang Qingshan sighed, feeling guilty and worried.

He worried about Zhao Feng, as well as his own future.

“Brother Zhao Feng, you were far too rash. I know it was for my good, but… ”

Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan found Zhao Feng, they weren’t confident that the latter would win.

“Brother Zhao Feng, I know you’re good at fighting, but if you want to battle Ji Fengyun, you should at least reach the 9th rank first, so you have a higher chance of winning. Furthermore, one can challenge a substitute inner disciples once every six months,” Nan Gongfan said.

No one thought that Zhao Feng would win because he was only at the 8th rank of the Consolidated Realm while his opponent was at half-Ascended Realm.

From Nan Gongfan’s point of view, Zhao Feng was just wasting this chance, and if Zhao Feng wanted to challenge again, he would have to wait half a year. In the eyes of the other outer disciples, Zhao Feng’s action was ridiculous.

“Haha, good, we’ll be able to see how strong a substitute inner disciple is in three days,” Xiao Sun smiled and said towards Princess Yun Mengxiang.

After entering the Clan, Xiao Sun’s cultivation had reached peak 9th rank and he was wondering whether or not he should challenge the top twenty. But right now, he wasn’t fully confident and Zhao Feng’s actions were like a ‘detector’, so Xiao Sun was obviously happy.

_Inside the room..._

Zhao Feng didn’t mind what others thought, but he still had to explain his actions to his two friends.

“My aim is to become an inner disciple, and if I can’t even take care of these outer disciples, what right do I have to reach further into this world?” Zhao Feng’s voice was confident.

Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan looked at each other in shock. Zhao Feng’s talent wasn’t better than theirs, but his ambition was much bigger. From what he was saying, it seemed as if he wanted to crush all the outer disciples.

\------

The morning of the second day, Vice Deacon Wang arrived at the lodgings of the outer disciples.

“Greetings, Vice Deacon!” The nearby disciples all bowed down respectfully. Vice Deacons had a position even higher than inner disciples.

Vice Deacon Wang nodded his head and arrived at Zhao Fen’s room. The nearby outer disciples all turned towards Zhao Feng, who had just walked out.

“Zhao Feng, your task has been allocated. Follow me to the Outer Clan Hall.” Vice Deacon Wang was full of smiles.

“Thank you, Deacon.” Zhao Feng followed Vice Deacon Wang respectfully.

This scene caused the other disciples to look at each other in surprise. If it was just a normal job, the Deacon would’ve just announced it...but Zhao Feng’s situation was different? First, the Deacon didn’t announce his task. Second, they were headed towards the Outer Clan Hall, where all the powerful figures were.

Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan looked at each other worriedly. The three of them were all Lord Guanjun’s disciples, and they had already created a feud with an Elder, so their path was destined to be harder than others.

After walking for a time, Vice Deacon Wang led Zhao Feng to the Outer Clan Division. This place controlled everything about the outer disciples and apparently, the Head of the Outer Clan Division was an Elder who had reached the True Spirit Realm.

The True Spirit Realm! When one reached it, it meant that they were at the peak of the Clan and were not often seen since they were almost always in secluded meditation. How would they have the time to bother with these minor things?

Therefore, the Head of the Outer Clan Division wasn’t its true controller, the Vice-Heads were.

“Zhao Feng, the Vice-Heads are inside waiting for you.” Deacon Qiu, who had led the entrance exam that day, was waiting outside of the hall. Deacon Qiu and Vice Deacon Wang were both from the Outer Clan Division, so they were quite familiar with each other, and this was why Vice Deacon Wang’s had a respectful attitude towards Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng greeted Deacon Qiu, then immediately entered the hall.

There were three terrifying auras in the hall; these auras were much stronger than anyone else that Zhao Feng had felt so far.

Of the three auras, two of them were familiar; they came from a white-robed elder and a red-faced elder.

Zhao Feng knew these two old men; they were Old Man Zhang and Old Man Guan, who he had met in the third test.

These two were both Vice Heads, and they had a high authority.

Apart from the two, there was an azure-clothed middle-aged person who had a stern face and whose aura was on par with the two others.

Zhao Feng guessed that this person would be the Vice Head of the Outer Clan Division.

“Greetings, three vice heads.” Zhao Feng didn’t dare to be slow, he was only a lowly ant of the Clan and any one of these three people held actual power and cultivation.

Seeing Zhao Feng walk in, both Old Man Zhang and Old Man Guan’s eyes lit up.

“Haha, he’s Zhao Feng?” The azure clothed vice head looked at Zhao Feng with interest. Being a Vice Head, he knew everything about Zhao Feng and it was someone like him, a Low Tier Spiritual Body, that the two other Vice Heads were fighting for.

The two Vice Heads, Old Man Zhang and Old Man Guan, both wanted Zhao Feng to work for them, and the azure clothed Vice Head obviously didn’t mind. The problem was that both of them wanted him, and neither of them gave way!

Who should he give Zhao Feng to? This was a brain-breaking question.

Under this situation, the azure-clothed Vice Head called Zhao Feng over to discuss the matter.

Soon, Zhao Feng understood what everything was all about.
