Chapter 351: Lowly Status
As outer disciples who had joined the Inner Sects joint training, Ling Xiao and the others were treated far worse than in the Outer Sect.
In the Outer Sect, they were the best and had their own cave dwellings. Moreover, they didnt need to do any chores.
However, now, the three had to squeeze under the same roof.
Moreover, this was not a cave dwelling but a wooden house where servants lived.
Clearly, when the outer disciples came to the Inner Sect, they were no different from servants.
When they arrived at their residence, they found Zhao Zhi, Zhao Ci, and Dai Yuling there.
These three had learned about the Inner Sect joint training after entering the Inner Sect.
After all, Zhao Zhi and Zhao Ci had broken through quite fast, so they had never experienced this kind of joint training.
However, in the Inner Sect, they had learned about the cruelty of such joint training.
Naturally, the cruelty was aimed at the outer disciples.
It was so serious that after returning, many outer disciples would lose the confidence to continue cultivating.
They were waiting here to tell these things to Ling Xiao.
After all, whether it was Zhao Zi or Dai Yuling, their relationships with Ling Xiao were quite good.
Furthermore, Dai Yuling could be regarded as a life-and-death friend.
I already know what you all want to say. Before coming here, Elder White nagged me.
Before they could speak, Ling Xiao took the initiative: You should understand how I am. If Im uncertain, I will not do anything easily. You all can rest assured.
Tsk tsk, this kid is pretty confident!
A voice filled with disdain cut in.
Jian Renwang! [TN: : Jian Renwang]
Jian Xing exclaimed.
What? Jianren Wang? [TN: : Jianren Wang, jianren means cheap or worthless person, and wang means king]
Ling Xiao felt that the world was truly full of extraordinary things; someone actually had this kind of name.
Cough cough, Senior Brother Ling! Its Jian of baojian (sword). We are from the same clan, but he is much more talented than me. Now, his cultivation base should have already reached the Late Rank One Transcendent Realm!
Jian Xing coughed and explained with a forced smile.
Oh, it turned out to be Jian of baojian, but he is truly cheap (: jian) in my view!
Ling Xiao couldnt help sneering and said: Im talking with my friends. **** thing, dont you know what etiquette is?
Hahaha, I heard that theres a Ling Xiao, who is audacious to the extreme, in the Outer Sect. In fact, he even dared to kill inner disciples borrowing the might of Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy. Today, I find that you are truly arrogant.
Jian Renwang laughed and said: When Jian Xing came to participate in the joint training for the first time, he was also very arrogant. But he behaved in less than two days! Boy, its better to be sensible!
Ling Xiao smiled. In the past, I have also heard of a Renwang (Human King). He seemed to be called something like Wan Renwang; however, just because of this name, do you think that you can dominate ordinary people? Do you know that persons fate?
Dont compare me with that trash from the secular world, roared Jian Renwang.
Ling Xiao ignored him and continued: I abolished his cultivation, and his martial soul was snatched. Now, he is a good-for-nothing.
Because Wan Renwang was crippled, he didnt follow Wan Ben to Heavenly Peak City. It could be counted as a blessing in disguise since it had saved his life. Otherwise, he would have indeed become a dead man under Ling Xiaos hand.
Shut up!
Jian Renwang roared.
Just because you tell me to shut up, will I?
Ling Xiao indifferently criticized.
It seems that you are truly ignorant! In the past, you were an outer disciple in the Outer Sect. Even if we, the inner disciples, were dissatisfied with you, but due to the rules and regulations of the sect, we couldnt do anything. However, its different now. Since you have participated in the joint training, you will have to exchange pointers with us! This is called sparring!
Jian Renwang suddenly calmed down, smiled, and said: Now, right here, you have to accept my request to exchange pointers. Otherwise, it would be violating the sects rules!
Exchange pointers with you? What are the rules? Moreover, what are the benefits of winning?
When Ling Xiao came to participate in the joint training, he had already known that people would quarrel with him. Nevertheless, he hated to deal with each and every one, so since Jian Renwang had delivered himself to his doorstep, it would be better to straightforwardly kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
He wanted to make an example out of this Jian Renwang so that other people of the Inner Sect would know that he, Ling Xiao, was not a soft persimmon that anyone could pinch as they pleased.
But if there was no benefit, Ling Xiao didnt have much interest in fighting.
The rules are very simple. According to the sects rules, the outer disciples participating in the joint training must accept at least three sparring requests per day. As long as they are in good health, they cant decline. If they decline, they will be expelled from the sect.
This rule was truly overbearing; it basically didnt treat the outer disciples as human beings.
During the fight, you cannot take the opponents life, cause serious injuries, or cripple an opponent! If you violate the rules, an outer disciple will receive capital punishment! As for the inner disciples, they will not receive any salary for three months and also have to face a wall for three months as punishment.
Hmm?
What did these rules mean?
If the inner disciples killed or crippled an outer disciple, they would just not receive salary for three months and face a wall for three months.
But for outer disciples, it would be capital punishment.
This Moonlight Sect truly didnt treat the lives of the outer disciples as worth anything.
He suddenly understood why the Outer Sect had such a low status.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Moonlight Sect, the Outer Sect was just to boost the confidence of the inner disciples.
Perhaps, they thought that all true geniuses had already been selected by the elders, so even if all the remaining outer disciples died, there would be no great loss.
It was truly cruel, no wonder so many people were desperately trying to enter the Inner Sect.
Fine, I got the rules. What about the benefits?
Although Jian Xing and Lin Feng were about to cry, Ling Xiao was still indifferent.
The rules were indeed disadvantageous, but with his current control over his true essence, it was simple for him to defeat and injure an opponent without killing or crippling the other party.
Therefore, he cared more about the benefits now.
Heh heh, if you lose, you three will be my slaves for a lifetime!
Jian Renwang said with a smirk.
Sorry, I can only make decisions for myself. I accept this condition, but I cant make decisions on behalf of them.
Ling Xiao shrugged.
We also agree!
Jian Xing and Lin Feng looked at each other and made this bold decision.
This was not a rash decision but rather based on their understanding of Ling Xiao.
Outside of the Inner Sects Main Hall, Ling Xiao alone had blocked the soul impact of several people. With this strength, it was absolutely possible for him to defeat Peak Rank One Transcendent Realm martial artists.
As for the probability, neither of them knew.
Maybe 50%?
Or 60%?
But this risk was worth taking.
Ling Xiao glanced at these two with surprise and couldnt help smiling. He then turned back to Jian Renwang and said: Well, if you lose, how about letting us three use your cave dwelling for several days?
Hahaha, do you want to live in my cave dwelling?
Jian Renwang laughed. Deal, although you seemed confident, you are doomed to be disappointed today because Im not an ordinary inner disciple!
