"Respect, Young Master Zheng-Fu. We already know who Young Master is. And we're aware of Young Master's instruction, which Young Master mentioned in the prime disciple zone. But as we were going to the Skill Hall, we happened to meet Young Master and saw the inner disciples doing something disrespectful, so we intervened."
"It's truly like my brother said. We didn't think to make Young Master Zheng-Fu embarrassed. We just come and teach these junior disciples a lesson."
The two young men speaking were the prime disciples who intervened as the small-breasted girl unleashed pressure on Zheng-Fu. It did not affect Zheng-Fu much, but even then, both of them still wanted to come in.
And these two young men were We-Uei and We-Ling, the third and fourth prime disciples of the top ten seeded disciples.
"Thank you very much. But later you don't have to do this because it's my intention," Zheng-Fu did not reprimand the two of them, but his tone sounded slightly dissatisfied.
"Yes, Young Master Zheng-Fu!"
By now, everyone knew who Zheng-Fu was, and in a short time, news of Zheng-Fu's presence spread rapidly throughout the sect, including the news that the sixth and seventh floors of Skill Hall were open only to the prime disciples. But what excited everyone the most was that they could get advanced high-level skills just by being promoted to prime disciples.
This rumor caused the inner disciples who were cultivating to accelerate their training even harder to achieve the Nascent Soul stage and choose advanced high-level skills. As for the three girls, they could only stand still without saying anything, especially the small-breasted girl, Wan-Ping-Ji. Her face was visibly pale now. She had already realized that she had made a terrible mistake.
Xiao-Wu-Lin was as guilty as Wan-Ping-Ji as she was Wan-Ping-Ji's senior but did not take good care of her junior until something like this happened. If the person they offended was someone else, it would not be too difficult and troubling, but this was Zheng-Fu.
"Re… re… respect, Young Master Zheng-Fu," Xiao-Wu-Lin gritted her teeth, greeting Zheng-Fu with a half-fear smile and slightly stuttering before she spoke up again, "Junior and I must apologize to Young Master Zheng-Fu for being rude. We don't know that you are…"
"No need to apologize, Miss Xiao-Wu-Lin. I don't think much. I understand that everyone has high self-esteem and arrogance, especially those who are higher than others.
They tend to look at those lower with disapproval, unlike Miss Xiao-Wu-Lin, who didn't look at me like that in the first place, except for..." Zheng-Fu stopped and glanced at Wan-Ping-Ji for a moment before he continued, "But I don't blame anyone; this kind of thing is a common occurrence."
"Thank you very much, Young Master Zheng-Fu, for not holding a grudge against us," Xiao-Wu-Lin knew that Zheng-Fu was not angry with them but only wanted to guide and teach them.
"Alright, now everyone knows who I am, so I don't need to hide anymore. I'm Zheng-Fu, or Young Master Zheng-Fu, as everyone has heard. Many people may have seen my face before. But that doesn't matter. The important thing is to listen carefully to what I'm saying."
"Anyone who can be promoted to a prime disciple will have the right to go up to the sixth floor of Skill Hall, where advanced high-level skills are stored, to select one skill to practice. Those who can advance to the top ten prime disciples will also be able to go up to the seventh floor, where Mystical Martial skills are stored."
"Is there such a rule? Why didn't I know this at all?"
"That's right. Why haven't we heard of it before?"
"That's because it's a direct command from Young Master Zheng-Fu," We-Uei, who understood everything, explained it to the inner disciples.
"A direct command from Young Master Zheng-Fu?"
"Yes, because Young Master Zheng-Fu is the young master of the sectmaster, he has the right to command or do anything in this sect."
"If that's true, I can't wait any longer. I need to train harder and practice even more!"
"Me too. I'll quickly train to achieve the Nascent Soul stage."
"Me too!"
"Me too!!!"
In the blink of an eye, the group of disciples, who had gathered and watched, quickly dispersed with excitement and joy. This time, not only would they be able to advance to a prime disciple level without having to test anything, but they would also be eligible for advanced high-level skills training.
So, no one thought of staying and waiting to waste time. Because these hundreds of inner disciples were at the high level of the Golden Core stage, they had extremely high chances of breaking through to the next level, the Nascent Soul stage. And then they would become prime disciples.
But, of course, time waited for no one. Zheng-Fu had already planned that once there were two hundred new prime disciples, he would close this simple promotion test. And then, the sect would revert to the original rule to make everyone try harder. As for the inner disciples at other levels and the outer disciples, they had to wait.
Because the greater the number of these disciples, the better. With a greater number, the maneuver would be more intense and fiercer. But no matter how intense, the sect had rules forbidding killing each other or destroying each other's cultivation. Therefore, there could be no concern to a certain extent about violence.
"Thank you very much, both of you, for helping to explain. You two can now go to choose a skill at the Skill Hall. Because Mystical Martial skills aren't as abundant as elementary or intermediate high-level skills, you might not get the skill you like if you're late."
After seeing that the number of disciples who had gathered together and watched earlier had decreased, Zheng-Fu turned to tell the two brothers, We-Uei and We-Ling, to go choose the skills they intended because Mystical Martial skills were less than fifteen skills.
"We understood, Young Master Zheng-Fu. We'll hurry and practice hard for our sect."
The elder brother, We-Uei, replied respectfully and gazed at Zheng-Fu admiringly. And the younger brother was no different. They both admired Zheng-Fu very much and every time they heard Zheng-Fu's story, they immediately turned their attention away from the surroundings.
Swish!!!
"Respect, Young Master Zheng-Fu. It's Ping-Sang's pleasure to meet you today," as the two young men left, a greeting sounded from behind Zheng-Fu. It came from a young man around the age of seventeen or eighteen named Ping-Sang, another one of the strongest inner disciples.
"You are Ping-Sang? It looks like you'll achieve the Nascent Soul stage and be promoted to prime disciple in a few days. Why did you come out of cultivation?" Zheng-Fu knew who this young man was and when he came. But what caught Zheng-Fu's attention was that the camouflage skill he used was like that of the Assassin Organization.
"That's because I wanted to meet Young Master Zheng-Fu, so I came out of my cultivation. I also wanted to talk to Young Master about something," Ping-Sang replied with a slight smile and stared at Zheng-Fu with a strange gaze.
"Oh, is that so? Is there something you would like to talk to me about?"
Swish!!! Thump!!!
Zheng-Fu did not even finish speaking as his figure had already stopped in front of Ping-Sang without the latter being aware of it. He said, "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Zheng-Fu asked with a sly smile at Ping-Sang.
Gulp!!!
"I… I… I…" When Ping-Sang saw Zheng-Fu standing in front of him without even realizing it, he could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva while speaking stubbornly, and a large amount of sweat dripped down his forehead.
But soon, he began to regain control of himself and continued, "I've got a very important message from my father in the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom saying that if I see you, I have to tell you that the Assassin Organization at the main office has begun to move, and their target is you and your family," Ping-Sang replied with a serious expression, staring at Zheng- Fu.
Huh...?
"Assassin Organization? How did your father know about this?" Zheng-Fu was extremely suspicious of what the young man had said. Even though he only believed half of it, he still had to ask because he could feel that this young man's words were both very strong and serious.
"For that... It's…" Ping-Sang frowned as he looked left and right as if wanting to tell Zheng-Fu that there were too many people here and it was not appropriate to speak.
Zheng-Fu could see what the young man was thinking, so he said, "Don't worry. These people can't hear what the two of us say. I've already used a barrier to block the speech. Unless others are at the eighth level of the Divine Emperor stage martial masters or above, they can hear," Zheng-Fu immediately explained to the young man to make him feel more at ease.
"If Young Master said so, I'm willing to tell you here. My father was a member of the Assassin Organization. But when my father met my mother, he began to change and wanted to distance himself. But the only way to get out of the Assassin Organization is to die."
"But my father didn't give up. He and my mother fled everywhere until my mother was eventually assassinated by them. At that time, I was a child, so my father hurried to take me away from them until we arrived in Blueland, at this In-See City."
"Until that day, both of us, my father and I, met Young Master Zheng-Fu when you were fighting the Cult of the Savage Evil. Then, later, this city developed by leaps and bounds until this Beyond Earth Sect was established. My father, therefore, sent me to join the sect in the hopes that I would be able to avenge my mother."
"Um... And what about your real reason?" Zheng-Fu knew that all the young man said was not his true reason. Zheng-Fu saw that the young man still had something to tell him, but he was hesitant and had no courage to speak out.
As for the young man, when he saw Zheng-Fu ask him the true reason after he had said many things, he immediately knew that Zheng-Fu was not an ordinary person as he had thought. The young man had thought that although Zheng-Fu's energy level was higher, he was younger than him, so Zheng-Fu probably could not keep up with him. But he was totally wrong. Zheng-Fu was able to see him through completely.
"Sigh... You can perceive my true self!? I've never thought that a kid like you would be so talented!"
