"What? There's actually a genius at the Great Perfection of the Dao Body realm in the outer sect?"

"How is this possible? He's a newcomer! Damn, have the disciples had it too easy this year? They've actually let such a genius stay in the outer sect!"

"What exactly is going on?"

Many elders exclaimed in surprise.

They stared intently.

really!

Fatty Shi's body was filled with an extremely rich Daoist aura, and there were Daoist patterns on his body, which was a symbol of the Great Perfection of the Daoist Body.

Moreover, his Dao patterns were extremely condensed, clearly not formed by mere effort.

Such a genius would be a key figure to be cultivated within the Ziwei Sect.

A-Qiang, Liu Tao, and the others were dumbfounded and at a loss for what to do.

Fatty Shi is actually at the Great Perfection of the Dao Body, how is that possible?

Liu Tao, in particular, understood better than anyone else what the Great Perfection of the Dao Body meant.

In the Ziwei Sect, cultivation level is not the most important factor; the Dao Body is what determines a martial artist's upper limit.

Looking across the entire Ziwei Sect, there are very few people who can cultivate their Dao Body to the Great Perfection.

Although the solid Dao Body ranks last among the three thousand Dao Bodies.

But after all, it is one of the three thousand true Dao bodies.

That alone is enough to put a bunch of geniuses to shame.

The elder's expression darkened.

"Explain to me what exactly happened, Liu Tao!"

Liu Tao trembled all over, his face turning ashen.

He never expected things to turn out this way.

If he had known earlier that Fatty Shi was at the Great Perfection of the Dao Body, he would never have dared to lay a hand on him.

Although he was a disciple of the Enforcement Hall, his actual status was not high.

Under the elder's imposing presence, Liu Tao dared not conceal anything and could only recount the events with trepidation.

The elder's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened.

"Where's Qiang? Get over here!"

A-Qiang shuddered, ignoring his injuries and pain, and scrambled to the Grand Elder, kneeling down with a thud.

"Elder, spare me..."

When his scheme was exposed, he knew he had no way out and could only beg for mercy.

The Grand Elder's face turned ashen.

"The Ziwei Sect encourages fair competition, but that doesn't mean you should form gangs and bully newcomers. It's outrageous! Who gave you the audacity to do this?!"

Ah Qiang was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head.

Could he say it was at the behest of Young Master Zhou?

Absolutely not!

At this point, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. If he dares to utter the name of Young Master Zhou, he'll be killed as soon as he turns around.

It doesn't matter if he dies, but his family will definitely not have an easy time either.

So Ah Qiang gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "Elder, all the sins were caused by me, Ah Qiang. I am willing to die to uphold the sect's rules!"

After saying that, his spiritual energy surged, his meridians reversed, and a large amount of blood gushed out from his seven orifices.

This drew gasps of surprise.

Fatty Shi was also stunned.

What happened? Ah Qiang actually committed suicide.

Only Tang Xuan, Ma Su, Fang Rui, and others knew why A-Qiang had committed suicide.

He took all the blame to protect Young Master Zhou.

"What a loyal dog!"

Tang Xuan shook his head.

He admired A-Qiang's decisiveness, but despised his choice.

It's a pity that they followed the wrong person.

People like Ah Qiang have no sense of right and wrong. Once they follow someone, they will be completely devoted to them, even to the point of sacrificing their lives.

There's a saying that every pitiful person has something hateful about them.

Seeing that Ah Qiang had committed suicide, the Grand Elder decided not to investigate any further.

"The mastermind is dead, and this matter ends here. As for Liu Tao, as a disciple of the Enforcement Hall, you selfishly protected him without asking why, which is unfair. Moreover, you abused the highest warning order. Now I am stripping you of your status as a disciple of the Enforcement Hall and casting you into the Cliff of Sin to face the wall for a hundred years. If you still live, all your crimes will be wiped out. Are you satisfied now?"

Liu Tao's face turned deathly pale instantly.

To meditate facing the wall for a hundred years—what difference is there between that and killing him?

But will he still resist?

Of course I wouldn't dare.

The Grand Elder was a figure of immense stature; a single thought from him could have killed him.

Left with no other choice, Liu Tao had to give in.

"I...I'm convinced!"

The Grand Elder waved his hand.

An elder flew over, grabbed Liu Tao, and flew away.

What awaits Liu Tao is endless torment.

The elder waved to Fatty Shi.

"Would you be willing to enter the inner sect for advanced cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, the outer disciples of the Ziwei Sect immediately erupted in excitement.

"What? The Grand Elder took the initiative to promote him to the inner sect? Wow, is this true?"

"A record... This is a new record, the fastest newcomer to enter the inner sect!"

"This fat guy has really taken off! After entering the inner sect, he no longer has to worry about missions and points!"

"You still dare to call him 'fatty'? From now on, you'd better call him 'senior brother'!"

"Yes, yes, he'll be the senior brother from now on!"

Countless envious, jealous, and hateful eyes fell on Fatty Shi.

Only Fatty Shi remained bewildered and at a loss.

Happiness came too suddenly.

Just a few days ago, he was a martial artist who was at a loss as to how to pass the test.

Now, however, he has transformed into an inner disciple of the Ziwei Sect.

You should know that just the words "inner disciple of the Ziwei Sect" are enough to make countless families greet you with smiles.

"I...I..."

Fatty Shi subconsciously looked at Tang Xuan.

He wanted to ask Tang Xuan for his opinion.

"The Grand Elder wants you to enter the inner sect, so just go! This is a good thing!"
