Chapter 19 – Sect Disciple

Though Liu Ming thought it was odd, he did not put it to heart. He then glanced at the high platform in the distance.

Over there, a group of Spirit Masters were circling a tall youth, and it seemed like they were talking about something with him. However, due to the large distance, Liu Ming could not hear the contents of the discussion. He could faintly feel that the atmosphere was somewhat tense over there.

At the same time, on the other circular high platforms, there were also quite a few groups discussing what had occurred with each other.

“Senior Si Ma. It looks likes our days in the future won’t be easy. Haha, this year actually has three extremely talented disciples. One with an Aphrodite Body, another with Nine Spiritual Pulses of the Lightning Attribute, and an Earth Spiritual Pulse that’s only seen once in a hundred years. This batch of disciples is probably far more important in our master’s eyes than us.” A tall, skinny, young man—who was wearing a long green robe and had numerous bone spears situated on his back—smiled and revealed his observations to a man next to him who exuded a chilling aura.

“Hmph. Even if their talent is great, so what? Senior Zhao, Senior Lan used to have far more talent than us but where are they now. Although our sect values individual talent, it also pushes for free competition between disciples, and has a survival of the fittest mindset. Otherwise, the yearly Small Competitions, the Big Competition, and the Life and Death Trial every three years would be a joke. Although these three Juniors have overwhelming talent, they will still need to train for many years before they can threaten us. More so, even if there are people that worry about their position in the sect, I’m afraid we won’t be those people. Senior Yang and Senior Qian will have to worry about this even more.” The gloomy man closed his eyes, before replying with a cold smile.

“Haha. That’s true. They always place as the top ten core disciples. Now that we suddenly have so many impressive Juniors, they won’t be able to sit so calmly anymore.” After hearing that, the tall, skinny, young man laughed lightly.

At the same time, on the other side of the circular high platform, two girls that were situated between a group of female Outer Sect Disciples started to discuss the same topic.

“An Earth Spiritual Pulse. I truly did not expect it to appear in our sect. Cui Er, looks like you will have a strong foe in the future. In terms of cultivation speed, your Spirit Marrow Body was definitely at the top. This allowed you to become a Late Spirit Apostle from a Beginning Spirit Apostle in three years. However, the Earth Spiritual Pulse contains Twelve Spiritual Pulses. This allows him to absorb heaven and earth energy several times faster than the average disciple which is probably slightly faster than you. In addition, someone with an Earth Spiritual Pulse will have a much easier time reaching the Spirit Master realm compared to someone with a Spirit Marrow Body.” An older woman in yellow spoke lightly to a fifteen to sixteen old girl in a green dress.

“Is the Earth Spiritual Pulse really that amazing? I still can’t believe that with my Spirit Marrow Body, I can’t compare to his cultivation speed. If it comes to it, I’ll just play less in the future and use more time for training.” The pig-tailed girl stuck her tongue out, revealing a very cute face.

“I knew you weren’t applying your full attention to training! From now on, you will live with me. I will personally supervise your training.” A blue-dressed girl said happily while revealing a beautiful smile.

“Senior Qian, please don’t…” The green-dressed, young girl’s face instantly turned miserable.

When the Outer Sect girls saw this they couldn’t help but smile secretly.

…….

“So how do all of you view our new Earth Spiritual Pulse Junior?” A large man dressed in a tight suit moved his gaze from the high platform to the companions next to him.

Standing next to him were Spirit Apostles that were quite old, around thirty to forty years old. There was even an elder that had fistfuls of white hair.

“Senior Wu’s question is a bit strange. We have already passed the age to fight for a core disciple position. The hope of becoming a Spirit Master to us is basically nonexistent. Even if this tiny Junior has amazing talent, it doesn’t have anything to do with us.” Another dark-skinned, large man around the age of thirty asked back in curiosity.

“That might not be certain. Senior Feng, how do you see it?” The big man dressed in the tight suit turned around to ask the elder with white hair behind him.

“Junior Wu, if you have something to say then say it directly. We have known each other for quite some time now. There’s no need for all these twist and turns.” The white-haired old man replied expressionlessly.

When the others heard this, they also revealed questioning gazes.

“Haha. Since Senior has put it like this I will be frank. I’m planning to lead us to go and submit to that kid: our ‘Junior Gao.’” The vigorous man said with a laugh and did not hide anything anymore.

“What? Submit to that kid that just became a Spirit Apostle?” Immediately, there was someone that couldn’t control his voice.

“Right. Don’t any of you know that because we are too old to compete for a core disciple position, the resources we get from the sect are many times lower than before. Normally we can only risk our lives to accomplish missions in order to gather Contribution Points to continue training. Under this kind of situation, do you think we have a chance to aim for Spirit Master? According to what I know, everybody over thirty years old that becomes a Spirit Master uses an enormous amount of resources. In addition, they rely on the help of other Spirit Masters and good luck in order to barely enter the Spirit Master realm.” The vigorous man spoke slowly.

“Oh. Junior Wu means that we should bet on the fact that this Earth Spiritual Pulse kid will definitely become a Spirit Master. And if we go submit to him now, then later on he may help us out when he becomes a Spirit Master.” The white-haired old man’s eyes opened, since he understood what the vigorous man meant.

“Senior Feng is right. That is what I meant. The sect has strict rules and us older disciples cannot compete with the new disciples. Still, rules are dead and people are alive. If it’s just a bit of indirect help, our little Junior shouldn’t refuse. Also, this type of stuff has been done before.” The vigorous man replied with confidence.
