Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

Chapter 143 Taking Disciples

"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 looked to the ground with disappointment. Ofcourse they wanted to become a personal disciple of a master. It would give them more resources, and would guarantee that they would get to a higher cultivation quickly.

I saw that two others entered the ring. Their fight was also as expected. A person battling someone above their cultivation base was rare, and winning was almost impossible. I had a feeling that I was only winning against opponents much stronger than me because of the stats that I got from the system.

"That reminds me, I have to check my stats. System home page" I muttered.

"Damn it. I used up all of my skill points on that. But it sure was worth it. As long as I can get to Expert Proficiency in the other skills- wait a minute. That skill that popped up at the end. That was the Flowing Cloud Spear! I could swear that it wasn't there last I checked." I realized.

[Host must be wrong. System has updated information up to the mark.] the system replied immediately.

"Yu Yutian wins!" the deacon said, changing my focus. I looked at what was happening. I knew yu Yutian, but I didn't think that he was strong enough to actually get to the next round.

"Well, lucky breaks do happen. I guess that sometimes, luck is more important than skill." I shrugged.

But I certainly did not forget about the new revelation that I came across. The system that I had was not perfect. It helped me a lot, but I couldn't rely on it. Last time, I threw the grenades at You Feng, they did not explode like they should have.

It was only after You Feng picked them up that they exploded. Now, this also opened my eyes. The system had something behind it, and I had to find out what eventually.

I looked at the competition now. I needed to know who my opponents were. Fight after fight passed by, but not a single person was accepted as a disciple by the elders. They clearly had higher standards.

"Number twenty threes. Onto the stage." the deacon called out.

Li Huan and another entered the stage. I squinted. This one was going to be an interesting one. Li Huan grew stronger than last time as well. She was at the seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment stage. It was surprising. She grew faster than even Cai Lien.

I had a feeling that it was related to her powerful backing. She had access to all of the resources that she wanted.

The fight started, and the two women on the field started rushing at each other.

Swords clashed, and both were pushed back equally. Until now, I noticed that the new disciples were paired with older ones, with the exception of Yu Yutian.

Li Huan's sword shined. It slashed towards her opponent like it was ready to slash her apart.

"I give up!" the woman shouted. Immediately, Li Huan held back her sword. It stopped just inches away from the woman's neck.

"Li Huan wins." the deacon said as he turned to the elders.

"Elders. Are any of you interested in this disciple?" he asked.

"Li Tian. Are you going to allow me to take this one as my disciple? Or are you going to keep protecting her?" the woman elder looked at Li Tian and said with a loud voice so that everyone could hear.

"What is the point of trying to protect her anymore? Everyone knows now. She will need to stay in your protection. But why don't you ask her first?" he shrugged.

"Lass. Do you want to become my disciple? You have been in your father's shadow for far too long. I will let you come out of it and shine on your own." she said.

"It would be my honor to be the fourth elder's disciple." Li Huan knelt on the ground.

"Someone finally became a disciple now, I see. But I wonder. How will she be treated now that everyone knows that she is the daughter of the sect leader. I am sure that many would have suspected it like I did, but this confirms it." I thought.

"The first quarter has ended. It is now time for the elders to take a short rest. We shall start again after a short break." the deacon announced.

"Twenty six is a quarter? Then Ji Riyal is right! I wonder how he knew exactly how many people there were. Thank god he is right. Now, if I win every match from now on, I will face Li Huan in the semi finals, and Ji Riyal in the finals, like he said. I have to win." I resolutely told myself.
