Battles passed by. The outcomes were just as expected. One after one, they continued with the battles. The way that they made the battles baffled me. Some were lucky to get a free pass and continue on. But in my eyes, it was not lucky at all. Me, Ji Riyal, Li Huan, and a few other older disciples who were stronger than the others, were the only ones who received this lucky grace. And now, fight after fight later, my half was reaching an end. "Number twenty three, and number fifty six, enter the ring."…-

"Number fifty seven. Enter the ring." the deacon said. The sky was turning dark, and I half expected the competition to extend to the next day. But it seemed like no one had any intention of stopping. Ji Riyal entered the ring, and so did another older disciple. He looked at Ji Riyal, and then at Ji Ki'er. It did not escape anyone that he sat next to her, and was conversing with her freely. "What is your relationship with senior sister Ji Ki'er? For you to talk with her so freely." the opponent…

Ren Ming looked at me with surprise. "I didn't think that you could actually block one of my attacks. You are stronger than I expected." he said, surprised. "Well, it is not going to be fun if it is a one-sided match." I laughed. Both of us furiously started moving. Our weapons started clashing every second, and I felt my hand going numb. But I knew that this close combat was not good for him as well. My strength stat was doing its work here. "You are an idiot. Why are you using the Child of Dao title…

The fights continued to go by monotonously, and my number was called upon. "Number fifty six, enter the ring." the deacon said. I looked at who was entering the ring with me. I needed to know who I was up against. I saw some movement from the side of the participants where all of the older disciples were standing. And the moment he moved, every single person next to him gave way immediately. "Damn it. He seems to be someone a little important. I knew my luck wasn't completely good. He must have messed…

"I will wait. This boy has potential, but his temperament is not good enough. Maybe three years hence, he will be tempered and will learn some humility. Until then, I have no intention of taking him as a disciple." A big and burly looking man said. He was one of the few middle aged looking men among the elders. There was only one woman though, so I knew that she was the anamoly. "Then we shall proceed to the next match. The number twos, enter the ring." the deacon said. The two men who just fought…

A blue light finally hit me. I looked at the second elder to see if his expression changed. He did not look satisfied, but he did not look disappointed either. He just looked forward monotonously now. I looked down at where the blue light had hit my body. It was at the center of my chest, and upon close inspection, I could see that there was this number that was showing on me right at that point. The number, fifty six, was shown to everyone else. I looked at the number that Ji Riyal had. "Fifty seven.…

The day of the Inner sect trial arrived quickly. I had recovered completely. Being an alchemist certainly had its own benefits. With the numerous spirit herbs that I had recently acquired, I was able to make any pill that I needed. "I forgot to take the badge to become an alchemist! Damn it. Now I need to go there before the Cai family does something!" I realized. But all of that was no longer that important. I needed to go to the trial for the Inner sect. I expected that all of the other disciples who…

The moment we reached the sect, the first thing that every one did was return to their residences. Cai Lien bid me adieu and did the same. This was an exhausting few days, and the final fight was also life threatening enough for everyone to need the comfort of home. Unfortunately, I could not feel that way about anywhere just yet. The Liu Family manor was the only place that remotely felt like a place that I could be. I walked to the market of the Outer sect. Once again, the new disciples started…

After a few hours, every single person recovered to some extent. With that, the movement back to the sect started. The senior sister, Ji Ki'er, sent everyone through the teleportation array to the top floor. Now that the sect practically controlled the tower, there was not a single person who would dare to go against the words of a disciple. I slowly moved towards Cai Lien. She also saw me, and I saw her expression change from tensed to relief. "Thank god you are alive! I was so tensed! Are you an…

"Tell me clearly. What happened." the third elder said. "Yes, elder. The bandits arrived, and senior sister and You Feng came out to face them. You Feng said something about the leader being only in the pseudo Xiantian realm. He collapsed almost immediately, and it seemed that he was poisoned by You Feng. But after that, there was a problem. The fight was not over yet. For some reason, You Feng was looking for some one named Gray or something. It was weird. And he seemed to think that that person was…
