Time always flies when you're practicing.
Xia Muge and Qin Wanning have been members of the outer sect for a month.
In the past month, they have completed some tasks and their strength has increased significantly.
Xia Muge's strength was naturally suppressed to the peak of the Martial Master realm, which is already the limit that ordinary people can cultivate.
On the contrary, Qin Wanning's cultivation level also broke through to the Martial Master level.
The rapid advancement in this realm is all thanks to those herbs.
She has now sparred with several outer disciples without being defeated, which has earned her some fame.
However, these accolades seem rather laughable to those within the sect.
The disciples in the inner sect, apart from a few who got in through connections, are mostly at the Spirit Realm.
To put it bluntly, the realm of martial arts is simply about strengthening one's physique.
The spiritual path is the beginning of cultivation.
Next, the competition for outer disciples will begin every three months.
These three months of competition are extremely important for the outer disciples.
First, the most outstanding disciples can stand out and become stewards.
For a major sect like the Divine Will Sect, becoming a steward elevates one's status and, most importantly, brings substantial financial rewards.
They were like minor officials under the county magistrate of the imperial court; even without official rank, they were still someone people dared not ignore.
In addition, inner disciples will also pay special attention to the outer sect competition. If there are outstanding talents, these inner disciples will befriend them in advance.
After all, the world of martial arts is also about human relationships and social customs.
The basic requirement for outer disciples to enter the inner sect is to become a Spirit Master, but being able to befriend an inner disciple beforehand is certainly not bad and can save one from taking detours.
Under these circumstances, Xia Muge and the others naturally wanted to perform well in the outer sect competition.
Almost everyone was eagerly preparing.
But Guo Yang was the only exception.
At this time, Guo Yang was still a third-rank martial artist.
His cultivation level didn't improve, and he didn't even complete his daily tasks.
After Xia Muge brought him some calming incense, Guo Yang and Xia Muge became acquainted.
However, he did not expect that Xia Muge was a good person.
He knew a lot and shared it with him.
What fresh and thrilling stories are there?
There are also some gossip circulating within the Divine Will Sect.
It could be said that the monotonous cultivation life had become somewhat interesting because of Xia Muge.
These kinds of fun experiences are not something you can usually enjoy.
Therefore, Guo Yang naturally felt closer to Xia Muge.
However, what troubled him was that although they had become closer, it also interfered with his cultivation.
His current cultivation level is only at the fourth rank of martial artist.
This is still because he eats monster meat every day.
The meat he eats every day is delivered by Zhang Haoran.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to support them solely through the outer sect.
Generally speaking, someone who has eaten so much monster meat should be able to cultivate to the level of a martial arts master.
But Guo Yang is just an incompetent fool.
At this moment, Xia Muge was naturally happy to see Guo Yang make a fool of himself.
Of course, he couldn't laugh openly.
It is all too easy to lead people astray.
Just like on Earth, many good students are ruined by online games.
He only needs to slightly provoke human nature to get the result he wants.
In fact, Guo Yang didn't feel that Xia Muge was disturbing his cultivation; he even thought of him as a very good friend.
However, what made him unhappy was that this 'good friend' was also very strong.
Guo Yang felt that he couldn't bring himself to hate this person, yet he was still conflicted about his feelings.
He looked somewhat dejected.
At this time, in the outer sect competition, his current cultivation level is too low, and he has almost no chance of standing out.
As for completing the system tasks, that's even more impossible.
Guo Yang could only comfort himself: "It's okay, I'll be able to cultivate properly again in three months."
Fortunately, the outer sect competition is open to all.
After all, many outer disciples are out doing missions, and even those who aren't doing missions don't want to participate; they just want to watch the excitement.
Therefore, the outer sect competition is actually a stage for a select few.
Private fights are permitted during this competition, and deaths and injuries will not be considered.
And each of these major competitions naturally gave rise to a new industry: gambling.
No matter what kind of world it is, gambling is always the most profitable.
Even during major competitions, "human battles" were held.
To put it bluntly, it's specifically designed to make outer disciples fight to the death.
On the surface, it's about settling personal grudges, but in reality, it's a brutal and bloody death struggle.
This was to satisfy the desires of the inner disciples.
To put it bluntly, outer disciples are practically the same as servants; the only difference is that their names sound nice.
Because Xia Muge and Qin Wanning were both quite capable, they did not get involved in these dirty deeds.
Both of them achieved good rankings in the competition.
Xia Muge was the leader of the outer disciples this time, and his talent was praised by the steward.
Now that he has directly secured first place, he has attracted a lot of goodwill from people.
They also knew that with Xia Muge's talent, entering the inner sect was only a matter of time, and then it would be a true leap for success.
Such a person will naturally receive a lot of goodwill.
Xia Muge accepted all offers of these.
After all, being recruited by inner disciples isn't necessarily a bad thing.
However, if the fact that Xia Muge and Qin Wanning were recruited was something that the outer disciples talked about with great interest...
So Zhang Haoran's sudden appearance and his apparent attempt to win over Guo Yang left everyone bewildered.
The gossip among the outer sect spread quickly, spreading the news that the Holy Son favored Guo Yang.
"Could it be that Guo Yang has some extraordinary abilities?"
Some people couldn't help but discuss it.
"I don't know, perhaps it's the Holy Son's relatives in the mortal world?"
This is probably the most appropriate explanation.
After all, some people come to the Divine Will Sect not because they have completely abandoned the secular world.
The sect is actually more like a school. Some people may not have natural talent, but they can gain experience and make connections in the sect and then return to their hometowns, where they can achieve great success.
But isn't the Holy Son an orphan?
In short, I just don't understand it.
Someone muttered, "Guo Yang gets to eat monster meat every day, and the steward treats him very kindly."
"Alas, different people have different fates."
Zhang Haoran's public appearance and his close friendship with Guo Yang have sparked much discussion.
At this point, Xia Muge wasn't surprised at all.
In the storyline, Guo Yang was ridiculed by many people in the outer sect because he kept slacking off.
Then, at that time, Xia Muge, as a control group, won a lot of praise.
However, Guo Yang later became number one, and Xia Muge became the biggest loser.
However, now, Guo Yang has simply returned to where he belongs.
At this time, he was still a fifth-rank martial artist.
Their skill level is too low.
[Ding, it has been detected that the protagonist has not shone brightly among the outer disciples. Luck -, current luck points.]
