Chapter 129: Sect Master’s In-name Disciple

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Sect Master, I heard that there are a few talented disciples in the inner sect today.”

The white-haired elder smiled at Sect Master Mi Xingye. “I can name all of them.”

“Who are they?”

Mi Xingye asked casually.

In fact, as the Sect Master, Mi Xingye seldom paid attention to the inner sect.

Normally, he only paid attention to core disciples, as these people would be future elders, the foundation of the Yuelan Sect.

“Gu Yishang, Sun Fengjun, Ji Yimiao… They were all almost selected as core disciples. However, even though they entered the inner sect, their talents still cannot be underestimated. Their power could rival even some core disciples.”

After the white-haired elder finished speaking, he paused before saying in a regretful tone, “Xiao Qiyun was in the inner sect. I paid attention to him last year. Unfortunately, I heard that something happened to him, otherwise I would have chosen him at this demon slaying conference. I would have even allowed him to read the dao seal.”

‘What?’

Mi Xingye looked calm, but when the white-haired elder said that, he suddenly became interested. “This Xiao Qiyun is that good?”

A dao seal was a very precious treasure. Even in the face of their own disciples, many elders would hide it, unwilling to let their disciples read it.

The disciples of the inner sect had all cultivated middle-grade void realm secret scrolls, causing advancement after the void realm seventh stage to be a lot more difficult.

But if one used a dao seal, one could make up for this shortcoming.

“Yes, this Xiao Qiyun guy, although he was not selected as a core disciple at the time, his character was exceptionally good. Among the core disciples, no one can pass him in character except for Mingye.”

The more he spoke, the more regretful the white-haired elder felt.

“If that is true, then what a shame…”

Mi Xingye said, “But the world is unpredictable. You and I have seen top geniuses fall, and not just once or twice. The road of martial arts is bumpy. Enough, look at the other inner disciples, you might find another one to your liking.”

Xu Ning and the others were already on the stage.

Iron cages containing demon beasts were also pushed forward one by one.

Xu Ning looked at the other 19 inner disciples with a calm heart.

According to Xu Ning’s perception, of the 20 inner disciples, including himself, five of them were in the void realm third stage, while the remaining 15 were all in the void realm second stage.

This batch of people consisted of almost all of the elites in the inner sect.

While Xu Ning was observing everyone, everyone was also observing Xu Ning.

After all, in the inner sect, all of the leaders and elites knew of each other from before.

So, Xu Ning’s unfamiliar face appearing here confused them.

But right now, no one wanted to talk, as they were all waiting for the demon beasts they were about to face.

The huge cloths from the many cages were ripped off, revealing hideous bodies.

“This aura…”

Xu Ning looked at the ten cages in front of him, his eyebrows began to frown.

Cling! Cling!

The cages were slowly being opened.

The auras of demon beasts that had been restrained previously were all exposed at this time.

Demon beasts crawled out of the cage one by one.

Maybe because they had been imprisoned for too long, the moment they walked out of the cage, they all loudly roared to vent out their frustration.

“They are all void realm demon beasts!”

Xu Ning suddenly felt a dangerous aura. “Moreover, it seems that they are all in the… mid level void realm!”

Xu Ning realized a problem.

The inner disciples were about to face an entirely different tier of beast from what the outer disciples had to face.

The demon beasts that the outer disciples faced were all low level demon beasts. Among them, the strongest was only in the low level void realm.

But the ten demon beasts in front of them were all in the mid level void realm, or even in the peak of the mid level void realm.

“What’s happening here?”

Not only Xu Ning, but the other 19 inner disciples also noticed this problem.

‘I get it. Just now, the outer disciples fought evenly against the monsters, but now we are outclassed by demon beasts. The elders want to see us facing this group of void realm demon beasts, to check if we could survive against mid level demon beasts!’

Xu Ning, Gu Yishang, Sun Fengjun and others were all aware of this problem.

The light curtain was erected.

20 inner disciples were now stuck inside.

Roar!

The mid level demon beasts of the void realm who finally regained their freedom, began to vent their anger on the 20 inner disciples.

In the stands.

“Oh, so strong?”

Mi Xingye was surprised.

Although he was the Sect Master, this demon slaying conference was not arranged by him.

“Where did so many mid level void realm demon beasts come from?”

Mi Xingye asked.

The white-haired elder smiled and said, “From the Beast Hunting Sect.”

The Beast Hunting Sect was also a large faction in State Jifeng.

They had raised many monsters, and they regarded them as their combat partners.

“I see, I was wondering how there could be so many mid level void realm demon beasts.” Mi Xingye said, “So that’s why you want the demon beasts to be stronger than the disciples. After all, the demon beasts are borrowed. If something goes wrong, we have to pay compensation.”

The white-haired elder laughed and said, “In the previous years, we could only capture low level void realm demon beasts, causing the fight between inner disciples and demon beasts to be rather boring. Now this is a change of pace. Let these young people really feel the danger of demon beasts.”

“Your idea is great.”

Mi Xingye agreed with the white-haired elder’s idea.

The inner disciples on the stage had already begun to dodge the frantic attacks of the demon beasts.

After lifting the restriction on the ten mid level void realm demon beasts, all of them went crazy.

Xu Ning was chased by a giant wolf demon beast.

‘This faction is ruthless!’

If Xu Ning was facing one mid level demon beast in the void realm, he would still have the confidence to fight back.

But when facing ten mid level void realm demon beasts, if he fought against one of them, it was very likely that he would be attacked by other demon beasts.

‘What?’

Just when Xu Ning was trying his best to get rid of the giant wolf, he noticed that Gu Yishang had also attracted a demon beast and was running towards his direction.

“Xu Ning from the Seven Boxers…”

Gu Yishang’s eyes flashed. She continued to lead the demon beast behind her towards Xu Ning.

With Xu Ning being attacked from all directions, Gu Yishang seized the opportunity and fled.

‘This Gu Yishang!’

Xu Ning knew that he was targeted by Gu Yishang, but right now, he had to avoid all the incoming attacks.

“Screw this!”

Xu Ning knew that he had nowhere to escape to.

Inside his body, the fiery qi and watery qi surged.

“Tidal Fist!”

Xu Ning did not retreat. He directly faced the giant wolf.

The strength of the giant wolf was in the lower end of the mid level.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Xu Ning threw out several punches, and before the giant wolf could react, he punched its forehead.

Xu Ning’s Tidal Fist and Flame Breath Bone Sutra had all been promoted to the fourth level, so when he used his secret techniques, he could use characteristic-infused attacks.

In addition to the light and dark force, there was also the penetration and corrosion water type force, and the burning fire type force.

In an instant, the giant wolf was dazed.

Although it had a hard skull and was in the mid level void realm, it couldn’t defend against Xu Ning’s sudden flurry of punches.

It felt its head exploding. At the same time, the force that invaded its body also brought a corrosive and burning effect.

The giant wolf roared in pain.

Xu Ning seized this opportunity and jumped directly over the body of the giant wolf.

The void realm demon beast that was attracted by Gu Yishang slammed into the giant wolf.

“What!?”

Gu Yishang, who had already gotten rid of the pursuing demon beast, was watching the show in a safe place.

She then saw Xu Ning suddenly violently attacking the giant wolf demon beast and escaping from two mid level void realm demon beasts.

‘He is not only in the genus realm, but he has also cultivated his secret techniques to the fourth level!’

Gu Yishang saw the burn and corrosion marks on the giant wolf’s fur.

Suddenly, Gu Yishang had a terrible feeling.

Gu Zhiyin had discussed with Gu Yishang, saying that Xu Ning had a deep and solid foundation in the mortal realm, and that it was very likely that he would reach the void realm third stage very soon. However, although Gu Yishang heard that, she did not really care.

Now it seemed that Xu Ning had really advanced at the speed of light.

‘Sh*t!’

Gu Yishang was still thinking, when she suddenly saw Xu Ning rushing towards her after getting rid of the giant wolf.

“Does he want to attack me?”

Gu Yishang couldn’t react for a while, but her instincts were still warning her to avoid Xu Ning.

“Gu Yishang!”

Xu Ning didn’t give Gu Yishang a chance to escape at all. He jumped in front of Gu Yishang in an instant before grabbing Gu Yishang’s shoulders.

Then Xu Ning smiled at her.

Gu Yishang could see the mockery in his smile.

Gu Yishang wanted to get rid of Xu Ning, but she was firmly grasped by Xu Ning. There was also a hot and cold sensation in her shoulder.

“No one said that I can’t attack my teammates in the demon slaying conference!”

Xu Ning squeezed Gu Yishang’s shoulders and threw her far away.

Three void realm demon beasts could be seen gathering near where Gu Yishang would land.

“Xu Ning, you!”

Gu Yishang saw the three demon beasts moving towards her at the same time.

There was a fierce glow in their eyes, as if they wanted to completely tear her apart.

Gu Yishang wanted to dodge, but she was still in mid-air, so she couldn’t escape.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just when Gu Yishang was about to land in the middle of three demon beasts, the elder host radiated his true qi and pushed the three demon beasts away.

At the same time, Gu Yishang fell heavily on the ground.

Gu Yishang became the first one to be eliminated among the inner disciples in the first round.

“I…”

Gu Yishang felt a little confused in her head.

‘In front of everyone, I was thrown towards demon beasts by Xu Ning?’

She felt her face warming up.

Forget about being accepted as an in-name disciple by the elders, she had lost the respect of the Knife Moon Crowd.

Gu Yishang could only lower her head and leave the stage.

The 100-plus members of the Knife Moon Crowd were silent.

Gu Zhiyin’s face was almost blue.

“Xu Ning, good job!”

On the other hand, the side of the Seven Boxers cheered out loud.

Xu Ning was initially set up by Gu Yishang. And when he was besieged by beasts on two sides, all of the Seven Boxers broke out in sweat and cursed Gu Yishang.

But Xu Ning not only reversed the situation, but he also took his revenge on Gu Yishang.

“Xu Ning is not in the true qi realm, instead he’s in the genus realm!”

Ning Xun clenched his fists, excited. “He has even cultivated his secret techniques to the fourth level!”

“Brother Ning, did we underestimate Xu Ning?”

Le Caiwei had a weird expression.

“Yes.”

Ning Xun nodded. “I think Xu Ning may be stronger than Senior Brother Xiao.”

“I see…”

Le Caiwei’s eyes darkened.

If Xiao Qiyun did not suffer from an accident and was still in the inner sect, then he and Xu Ning, the Twin Stars of the Seven Boxers, would be able to dominate the inner sect.

In the stands.

“Who is that inner disciple? The Sun Fengjun you mentioned? Or Ji Yimiao?”

When Sect Master Mi Xingye saw Xu Ning’s performance, he asked the white-haired elder.

“He…”

The white-haired elder was a little dazed. “No, he’s not either of them…”

His brain was spinning fast. He wondered who that inner disciple was.

It was like this person appeared out of nowhere.

“I remember!”

The white-haired elder slapped his forehead. “That kid is a newcomer who just entered the inner sect more than two months ago!”

“A newcomer who joined two months ago?”

Mi Xingye and He Mingye, who were sitting beside him, both looked surprised.

“He is a newcomer?”

Mi Xingye asked, “When did we start accepting disciples in the void realm?”

“No.”

The white-haired elder said, “When he was selected, he was just a martial artist in the mortal realm, and because of his average aptitude, no one chose him as their core disciple.”

The scene at the garden pond flashed past the mind of the white-haired elder.

“Um…”

Mi Xingye was in disbelief. “In less than three months, he went from the mortal realm to the void realm third stage, and he has also cultivated his secret techniques to the fourth level? How solid is his foundation in the mortal realm?”

Mi Xingye had trained He Mingye, so he knew the difficulty of advancing so quickly.

“I want to accept that inner disciple as my in-name disciple!”

Mi Xingye made the decision: “Mingye, what do you think?”

“Good!”

He Mingye, who was in a baffled state, suddenly showed a glimmer of expectation. “That junior is a fellow practitioner of the water and fire family, just like me. If you can take him under your wing, he can be just like me and practice the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword! At that point, I will also have a fellow junior to discuss my progress with!”

“Okay!”

Mi Xingye was very pleased with He Mingye’s reaction.

He was afraid that He Mingye would be jealous of Xu Ning’s talent.

But instead of being jealous, He Mingye offered to let Xu Ning learn the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword.

“Mingye, I will accept that kid as my in-name disciple!”

Mi Xingye thought, ‘I will feel safe when I hand over the Yuelan Sect to him in the future.’

‘Next, I want to see if that kid can hold on.’

Mi Xingye’s focus was entirely on Xu Ning.
