"You're asking for it!"

Ling Yaozu, being young and impetuous, was so enraged by Lu Chen's comment that he was about to take action.

But Lu Chen didn't even bother to look at him and went straight back to his room.

"Hmph!" Ling Yaozu snorted coldly, feeling unwilling.

But he also knew that killing was forbidden within the sect.

It's still okay for combat and sparring.

However, although Ling Yaozu is now at the third level of the Body Tempering Realm, his strength far surpasses that of Lu Chen, who is only at the fifth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. The difference between the two is too great.

However, Lu Chen's journey from the Qingyang Grand Ceremony to his entry into the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was shrouded in mystery.

The innate sword body is highly valued.

Xin Yun's past attitude towards Lu Chen made Ling Yaozu hesitant to take any risks.

"How dare a mere Qi Condensation Realm trash be so arrogant towards me?" Ling Yaozu suddenly had an idea.

I really don't need to take any risks.

There are plenty of outer disciples in the Seven Star Hall; anyone could teach this guy a lesson.

With that thought in mind, Ling Yaozu left the courtyard directly.

Lu Chen, however, went back to his room.

"The Ten Thousand Swords Sect is divided into six branches!"

"The Heavenly Sword Hall is the head of the six halls. Only the most elite sword cultivators, absolute geniuses, can join the Heavenly Sword Hall! Even if your cultivation is weak for the time being, it doesn't matter. What matters is your talent!"

"Secondly, the Jade Sword Hall only accepts female sword cultivators! Only those at the Transcendent Realm or above have a chance to join!"

"Then there's the Sword Forging Hall and the Alchemy Hall, but we won't consider those. They're usually just big men doing things like forging iron and making pills, which isn't very interesting."

"The Seven Star Hall combines the strengths of many schools, resulting in a bewildering array of techniques; they practice all sorts of martial arts! But in terms of sheer strength, they're the weakest!"

"But they have the most people in the entire Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"

"And the Enforcement Hall goes without saying!"

Lu Chen had a general understanding of the various branches of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

"Although the Seven Star Hall has a lot of people, the quality of the beauties isn't very high! I need to find a way, preferably to infiltrate the Jade Sword Hall, which is full of beauties! However, that seems unlikely!"

Lu Chen felt helpless. That so-called patriarch of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect punished him by making him train in the Seven Star Hall for three years.

That's difficult.

"My strength is too weak, I need to improve it as soon as possible!"

Outer disciples, to put it bluntly, are just menial servants with decent aptitude, which is why they are accepted into the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

The four basic stages of cultivation are: Qi Condensation, Body Tempering, True Essence, and Mortal Transformation.

Once you reach the Transcendent Realm, you can be promoted to an inner disciple.

Unless someone has extraordinary talent and is chosen, even someone with low cultivation level can become an inner disciple, like Chan'er.

Lu Chen's case is a special one.

"With my strength at the fifth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, coupled with the Nine Heavens Star Sword Technique and the comprehension of sword intent, enemies below the Body Tempering Realm pose little threat!"

However, the Nine Heavens Star Sword Technique is too powerful.

Although Lu Chen could use it, he could drain all the true energy in his body with just one move.

There's nothing we can do about it.

The Heavenly Grade Sword Technique is only one of the most powerful and unique skills possessed by the entire Myriad Swords Sect.

"Cultivating with spirit stones is too slow. I'll go out for a walk and see if I can find someone to help me level up!"

Lu Chen got up and left the courtyard.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect has a strict hierarchy, where the strong are respected.

The residences of all the disciples of Green Bamboo Peak are divided into three main areas.

The senior brothers in the True Essence Realm live in the same area.

The disciples in the Body Tempering Realm live in one area.

The weakest Qi Condensation Realm disciples live in the most remote areas.

They can interact with each other, but few people go around. The senior brothers in the True Essence Realm are too lazy to bully the weak, and the disciples in the Qi Condensation Realm will not humiliate themselves.

This is an unwritten rule.

Even in the residential area for Qi Condensation Realm disciples, there are various restrictions.

Lu Chen left the small courtyard and headed towards the Hall of Artifacts.

He had to go and collect his own weapons and clothing; every new disciple could collect them for free once.

The Artifacts Hall is located separately from the three main residential areas for outer disciples.

As Lu Chen walked along, he saw many outer disciples dressed in blue.

"Huh? A new guy?"

"I heard there are four new members joining this time, two men and two women!"

"Yes! I also know that one of the two women joined the Heavenly Sword Hall and the other joined the Jade Sword Hall! As for the two male disciples, they were assigned to our Seven Star Hall!"

"Ugh, they dump all their trash here!"

Upon hearing this conversation, Lu Chen couldn't help but give the two of them a strange look.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why do you two senior brothers also think you're trash?"

"..."

The two of them were momentarily stunned.

That statement seems to make sense; they insulted others first and then insulted themselves as well.

However, the fact that a new kid dared to act this way clearly angered the two of them.

"You, come here!"

One of the slightly chubby disciples beckoned to Lu Chen with his finger.

Lu Chen glanced at it.

A fat man, at the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm.

A pockmarked man, at the eighth level of the Qi Condensation Realm.

No threat.

Lu Chen smiled and obediently stepped forward, saying, "Are you two trying to bully the newcomer and show off your presence?"

"Hey, you're not stupid either!"

"This is to teach you how to respect your teachers!"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "No problem, it's great. I like this kind of atmosphere. Can I borrow your sword?"

"Huh? What are you doing?"

"Borrow a sword?"

Both of them were taken aback.

Lu Chen said calmly, "Go ahead and hit you! Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll hold back and be very careful!"
