Chapter 3: Outer Disciple (1/2)

While Yang Wei quietly waits in line for further instruction. Many were pointing fingers and discussing him.

”Look at this beggar, his strength is good but trash spiritual root is still trash in the end.”

”That's right, what's the point of being strong when you can't even cultivate true qi.”

”Hahaha, let's just see him get rejected in the end.”

Although Yang Wei's spiritual root is garbage in their knowledge, his raw strength is insane for his age. They were also thinking about what kind of alchemy pill he has eaten to boost his strength.

Those youth are accusing Yang Wei of cheating with an alchemical pill simply because of jealousy.

Humans are like this, being poor and having a ridiculous appearance would be a shame no matter what.

If the person who accomplished this was someone with a powerful background, they would flock to them even if they have an Earth spiritual root.

Yang Wei has completely ignored them as his mindset was straightforward due to his mature soul.

To climb the peak and become a great cultivator requires many efforts. Responding to these people who are destined for failure is a waste of time.

Not to mention, he has no power or influence to be able to start an argument with them. Ignoring does not mean cowering because one day, he would show them what it means to be strong.

Only those who are strong get to be the righteous ones even if it's something horrendous like killing a mere mortal. The people would ridicule the mortal instead for offending a strong cultivator.

'This is a dog eat dog world and only those with stronger fist rules.' Yang Wei has this word in his mind every day.

Such is the way on how this world operates and Yang Wei understood this really early. Maybe it could be a blessing in disguise in reality from that event that honed his mentality.

As Yang Wei quietly waited without checking around his surroundings, one person was staring extensively at him.

It was Meng Yan who was curious and a bit interested in this person. Despite him obtaining a raw strength of 311, his spiritual root can be considered trash in terms of cultivation.

However, she didn't see any disappointment in his eye and it only shows a crystal bright eye even when he's being the topic of a joke among the youths here.

Besides, he was the only male that didn't stare at her with a lustful eye, much less a glance.

Being born in an imperial family and loved by her father extensively. Many can't even wait to flock toward her to obtain her favor but he's the opposite.

A seed of interest in her mind is planted as she wants to know more about this mysterious youth.

Although his appearance is really below average with those tattered clothes and disheveled hair, his composure is worthy of compliment.

Yang Wei didn't know he had attracted the princess unknowingly with his behavior and attitude. All he cares about is getting stronger and stepping into the path of a cultivator.

There was no way he would neglect his training to become strong for a sudden interest in a female that will never become his.

He doesn't have time for romance or even if he tries to find a partner, they would avoid him like a plague back in the village.

The only reason they still allowed him to live there was that if he leaves, no one else would be willing to do many odd jobs.

After a long time, all the youths have been tested and once again, the sect elder took the stage platform again.

*Cough*

”Listen to all youth here, we are happy to receive a great amount of application but as you know, we are a sect and resources are limited. Therefore, if I called your name, then congratulations, you are now an outer disciple.” The sect elder announced aloud.

Everyone is now full of tension and nervous because if their names aren't called, then their entry fee would be returned in 1/4 but to them, the money isn't worth anything.

They are scared because being rejected means the end of their path as a cultivator and a disgrace is going to label in them.
