Chapter 209 Ch-210: Registering
??Inside the administration hall of the sect, disciples were whispering among themselves as they pointed towards a group of male disciples standing in front of a serious-looking elder. On one side, a group of male disciples were glaring at a handsome man who was yawning in boredom, ignoring the hateful glares he was receiving.
The elder, who saw Wang Ming acting so nonchalant, raised an eyebrow before speaking to the group in a serious voice.
"Let me confirm again, you, Outer Court disciple Wang Ming, have accepted their challenge for a death match?" the elder asked again to confirm.
"Yes," Wang Ming said in a nonchalant voice, as if it were another walk in the park.
"Looking at your cultivation, you're only at the Foundation Realm while your opponent is in the Core Formation Realm. Do you still want to continue?" the elder asked again, as in his eyes, Wang Ming was courting death.
"Yes," Wang Ming replied in a calm voice.
"Do you have some kind of treasure that you are relying on to win?" the elder asked again, thinking this might be the reason for his overconfidence.
"No, I do not," Wang Ming lied. He already had a powerful sword but did not think he would need to use it to defeat these weaklings.
In this world, unless one is a cultivation genius or happens to have a powerful weapon, they would never be able to beat another with a higher cultivation base, let alone multiple people at once. In the elder's eyes, Wang Ming was indeed talented, but not in terms of combat. He had heard rumors about a massage technique that could increase the cultivation of females, but he had already learned the truth from female disciples. In his eyes, that was a bold move that would come back to bite Wang Ming later, and now what he feared was really happening. Honestly, he thought the male disciples were hypocrites; they dual cultivated with other females, but when their partners did the same, it hurt their pride. The reason he was concerned about Wang Ming was that he saw the potential for the rise of the sect through him. If Wang Ming could increase the cultivation of female disciples by such a large margin, then the males could also benefit by dual cultivating with their female partners.
"You neither have a treasure to rely on nor sufficient cultivation to win. Moreover, you agree to fight not just one but multiple disciples at the same time who have the same or higher cultivation than you. Tell me, do you have a death wish?" the elder asked after taking a deep breath at the display of overconfidence and foolishness in front of him.
Wang Ming could understand why the elder was trying to prevent him from entering. If he were in the elder's shoes, he would have done the same thing.
"Elder, don't be partial. I will tell my father," Guo Gan, who was watching the elder try to convince Wang Ming not to participate, became worried that Wang Ming might actually agree to the elder's suggestion and threatened him by mistake.
"Watch your words, disciple Guo. I am not being partial; I am just advising him. And don't try to threaten me with Elder Guo's influence," the elder said, narrowing his eyes at Guo Gan, who hurriedly tried to defuse the situation, realizing his mistake.
"I apologize, Elder. I did not mean to disrespect you. I wanted to say that this was his choice. He was the one who agreed to my challenge. He could have refused, but instead, he accepted with a smile on his face," Guo Gan hurriedly explained as the elder withdrew his gaze from Guo Gan with a snort and looked back at Wang Ming.
"Disciple Wang Ming, are you positive you will go through with this?" the elder asked one last time, while Guo Gan cursed the elder, fearing Wang Ming would back down in fear.
"Thank you for the concern, Elder, but I will fight," Wang Ming confirmed.
'Sigh, such a talent would go to waste,' the elder sighed in his mind upon hearing Wang Ming's confirmation.
"Very well, wait here for a second," the elder said as he went inside.
" Haha, bastard, you will soon be dead.I am going to wipe that smirk off your face.I am going to slowly kill in the most painful way in front of everyone. Even if you beg for death, I will not grant you an easy death " said Guo Gan maliciously
"Idiot." Wang Ming looked at Guo Gan and the others as if he were staring at dead people. Guo Gan and the others were about to retort, but the elder came back with a large piece of white jade.
" Alright, drop your blood here and swear the oath" the elder instructed. After they understood what they had to do, Guo Gan, the most eager, was the first one step forward
" I,Guo Gan,swear upon my name that I am entering a death match of my own free will" Guo Gan said as red hue enveloped him. The other disciples who were also participating followed his actions
' Damn, shit, I am having a very bad feeling about this' Hao Li thought nervously as he also copied Guo Gan
" Now it's your turn. Don't tell you are chickening out" Guo Gan teased to which Wang Ming merely rolled his eyes at
Wang Ming used the knife on the table and cut his palm, letting droplets of blood drip on the jade, which absorbed them.
" I, Wang Ming ,swear upon my name that I am entering a death match of my own free will" Wang Ming recited as he,too, got enveloped by a red hue like the others.
"Alright, you guys are registered. I will prepare the field for your match. I hope you don't regret your actions, as the only way you can leave is by defeating your enemies," the elder warned as he left the place to prepare. The surrounding disciples who saw this started to spread this information like wildfire.
