Hundreds of thousands of people compete for the status of outer disciple.

This shattered Ding Qianyue's hopes.

"Wow...there are just too many people! Does the Ziwei Sect really want to recruit so many outer disciples?"

At this moment, a slightly chubby martial artist next to him laughed.

"Of course we can't accept that many. This time we'll only recruit five thousand outer disciples!"

Ding Qianyue was taken aback.

"Five thousand! But there are..."

The slightly chubby martial artist laughed, "Five hundred thousand to five thousand, that's exactly one hundred to one! My name is Shi Qian, but everyone calls me Fatty Shi. What should I call you, beautiful lady?"

Ding Qianyue gave her name.

This place is already on the outskirts of the Ziwei Sect, so no one dares to act recklessly. Even if someone reveals their real name, it doesn't matter.

Besides, when the news is published, there will be an official review process, and it won't be difficult to verify one's identity.

"So it's you, Miss Ding! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Fatty Shi looked like a powerful figure at the level of a social bull, and he was friendly with everyone. He immediately laughed.

"Don't think there are a lot of people. This time is actually considered a small number. Every time the Ziwei Sect opens its doors to recruit disciples, countless people come to ask for qualifications. Among them, some are already pre-selected. So the actual number of people recruited is not five thousand!"

"At its worst, the ratio reached an absurd 400 to 1!"

Ding Qianyue gasped.

"Four hundred to one!"

Looking around, she saw that the martial artists in the queue were all quite strong, and many of them had even reached the Innate Realm.

Those born with innate strength can fly freely and gracefully.

They could live a carefree life within a small family.

However, these innate experts are now obediently lining up, waiting to enter the Ziwei Sect to do hard labor.

Yes!

Outer disciples are only good for doing hard labor.

Even though it's just manual labor, so many people are eager to do it.

Five thousand out of five hundred thousand.

The standards will definitely be raised.

Moreover, there are many martial artists here who failed the test last time and were just a little short.

After a year of honing their skills, they are already very confident, and such people have a high chance of being accepted.

Ding Qianyue's initial confidence instantly halved.

Fatty Shi's eyes swept around and he saw Tang Xuan, who was silent, and he was immediately stunned.

"My friend, you're not here to become an apprentice of the Ziwei Sect, are you?"

Tang Xuan smiled.

"Otherwise what..."

Fatty Shi looked shocked.

"Dude, I'm not kidding, but you're almost thirty, aren't you!"

In fact, Tang Xuan was already over thirty years old.

However, his cultivation was too powerful. Although he looked young, his demeanor gave people a mature feeling.

This feeling is somewhat similar to the weariness of middle-aged people, so it is easy to be misunderstood.

Tang Xuan nodded, and said vaguely, "More or less!"

Fatty Shi almost choked on his breath.

"Brother, are you kidding me? At this age, instead of staying home to get married and have children, you're coming to the Ziwei Sect to suffer. What were you thinking!"

Tang Xuan said, "Isn't it because I'm afraid of being bullied? That's why I want to learn some martial arts to protect myself!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding martial artists immediately burst into laughter.

"Grandpa, this is the Ziwei Sect, a sacred place for martial arts, not a street-side martial arts school. You should go home and raise your children. It's too dangerous here!"

"Hahaha... Every time we recruit apprentices, we see some oddballs. Even people who are almost thirty years old come to compete with us!"

"We have very few twenty-year-olds here, thirty? Good heavens, that's ridiculous!"

Fatty Shi didn't laugh; instead, he tried to persuade him.

"Brother, your spiritual energy cultivation must be very strong?"

Tang Xuan shook his head: "I don't have any spiritual energy to use right now!"

His Great Emperor cultivation level has been sealed, so he can't use it for the time being; otherwise, he would be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao Will of this realm.

Although Tang Xuan was not afraid, it would cause the collapse of the Immortal Realm.

That would lead to widespread suffering and the extinction of the Tang family's bloodline, something Tang Xuan did not want to see.

Therefore, he must learn the cultivation methods of this world that have been certified by the will of Heaven.

After converting the spiritual energy, it can naturally be used.

"What? You're not even a martial artist!"

Fatty Shi was completely shocked.

The martial artist beside him also looked incredulous.

"What a joke! He's not even a martial artist, and he's so old. Is he just here to get flamed?"

"Damn it, has the Ziwei Sect fallen so low that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become its disciple?"

"I think you should just get lost. This place is too dangerous and not suitable for a newbie!"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone burst into laughter.

In their eyes, Tang Xuan's behavior was utterly ridiculous.

Fatty Shi said speechlessly, "No, I mean, brother, the Ziwei Sect's assessment has three stages: strength, spiritual energy, and potential. You have to reach a certain level in all three stages to enter. You've given up on one stage, so there's no way you can enter!"

Actually, Fatty Shi was being tactful.

In his view, Tang Xuan did more than just give up on one hurdle.

At his age, he still has so much potential.

I'm afraid the Ziwei Sect wouldn't even bother to look at him during their selection process; they'd just eliminate him outright.

Tang Xuan swung his fist and laughed, "But I'm very strong!"

Fatty Shi's lips twitched.

"Brother, no matter how strong your physical body is, can it be stronger than a martial artist with spiritual energy? Don't be ridiculous!"

Tang Xuan shrugged and didn't explain anything.

Fatty Shi didn't insist.

The procession moved forward slowly.

The assessment process wasn't as slow as I'd imagined.

The Ziwei Sect has also set up nearly fifty assessment points.
