"Teacher Wang, my sister is a true disciple, and I am a candidate for an outer disciple. I heard there are outer disciples and inner disciples in between. What is the difference between these four?"
"The difference, apart from some differences in power and starting points, is actually similar." Obviously these things were a bit taboo, so Wang Li vaguely skipped over them.
"What I'm asking is, why is there such a division? Is it a talent for swordsmanship? What kind of talent for swordsmanship? I don't quite understand."
"That's what you're asking about. It should be considered an open secret. The four great sword sects all have the same standard. Those who possess the Sword Intent Seed are Inner Disciples, and those who possess the Sword Soul are True Disciples. Outer Disciples, those with fast cultivation speeds, can become Outer Disciples. Or, like you, if someone in your family holds a high position in the sect, you can exchange a large amount of Contribution Points or Merit Points, or special rewards, for a place for your family to become an Outer Disciple without taking the entrance exam. Unfortunately, only those at the True Disciple level or above are eligible to exchange, and you can only exchange for one place without taking the entrance exam in your lifetime." Wang Li, visibly relieved, answered He Lin's question readily. The last sentence showed how valuable the place without taking the entrance exam was.
"Contribution value?" He Lin felt that this joke was too much. He didn't expect that the forces in this world would play the same game as him. It's not that I don't want to take revenge, it's just that the time has not come yet! Now, the time has come.
"Yes, this contribution value is equivalent to the sect's liquid currency. In addition to contribution values, there are also merit values, which are more difficult to obtain. And it is universal among the four major sword sects. Merit values can be exchanged for contribution values, but contribution values cannot be exchanged for merit values. Merit values have many other unique uses, which you will encounter in the future. For now, in the Swordsman Academy, you will only encounter contribution values. Of course, if you are in the test-free class, you basically don't have to worry about contribution values. You will understand this later. These contribution values can be traded using identity tokens. The identity token will be processed for you later when you go through the admission procedures." Wang Li patiently answered He Lin's question about contribution values and also mentioned information about merit values, identity tokens, and so on. He Lin felt that this teacher Wang Li was truly a patient and good teacher.
Wang Li took He Lin to complete the admission procedures and received three sets of school uniforms, an identity token, and a key to the kendo room and single dormitory.
The dormitory was very small, so I put my luggage in the dormitory and changed into the Swordsman Academy uniform. The uniform was a cool blue swordsman's gown, which looked pretty good.
Wang Li took him to familiarize himself with the school, the library, the cafeteria, and other places. Finally, they stopped at a kendo room and said to Herlin, "We're here. That's your class, the test-free class." Wang Li pointed to the kendo room in front and said,
Through the window, I saw my classmates of the next few years for the first time, but there was a strong negative atmosphere that hit me.
There were only four students in the kendo room, all swordsmen, dressed in bizarre attire, clearly delinquents. None of them were seriously practicing swordplay. They were dandies, and far more thoroughly and powerfully so than their predecessors. Clearly, they were on a different level. If their predecessor were still around, he would surely be very fond of this place and these people.
The small number of people also shows how valuable the exemption qualification is.
"Ahem...students in the exemption class are all exempt from the test. If they can pass the test, there is no need to waste the exemption quota to come to the exemption class. So, in fact, there are very few people in this class who really study hard. They come here just to get the status of an outer disciple of the Sword Sect. Of course, you must not learn from them. Their families are all aristocratic and wealthy families. You are from a noble family. Even if you have your sister in the sect to protect you, you still have to practice hard, study, and become a talent, and strive to make your family an aristocratic family or even a wealthy family." Although Wang Li was a little embarrassed, he still introduced the situation of the class to He Lin and encouraged He Lin at the same time.
"Oh, so that's the reason." This was unexpected, but also reasonable. Just like the original body, after knowing that he had a place to be exempted from the exam, he lost the motivation to practice and became a playboy. I guess these people are the same.
"Teacher Wang, what's the difference between aristocratic families, aristocratic families, and wealthy families?" He Lin really didn't know what the difference was. It didn't seem like they were just casually called names; there must be a standard to distinguish them. He just didn't know what that standard was. In Qingshan Town, everyone was aristocratic, and there was no one to ask questions. Now that Teacher Wang Li was here, he could ask.
"Ah? You don't even know this? That's right, it seems that your family is not even a noble family. It's normal not to know. A noble family is a family with a swordsman heritage. The patriarch and elders of this family are generally swordsmen, and they are called a noble family. An aristocratic family is a family with a swordsman heritage. Among the patriarch and elders of this family, three are swordsmen, and they are called aristocratic family. A wealthy family is a family with a swordsman heritage. As long as there is one swordsman among the patriarch and elders of the family, it can be considered a wealthy family. What you need to do now is to practice to become a swordsman, graduate from the academy, and officially become an outer disciple of the Sword Sect. Exchange the swordsman heritage for your family, and make your family a preparatory aristocratic family." Wang Li really knew, and he was very patient in explaining He Lin's doubts, so that He Lin had a preliminary and clear concept of the hierarchical division of the peripheral family forces of the Sword Sect.
"Oh, I see. Thank you teacher for clearing up my confusion." He Lin answered sincerely. Such a teacher is always respected.
Wang Li was clearly very pleased with Li Feng. Finally, a dedicated student had joined the exemption class. It wasn't easy. He must be protected and given positive and correct guidance. He couldn't be led astray by these bad students.
