"From now on, I will be loyal to the sect leader with all my heart. I will live as a member of the sect and die as a ghost of the sect," Jiang Lin said with great ambition.
"If the sect leader loses, tell me how you broke the illusion." Jiang Lin's eyes were full of curiosity.
“Okay,” Ruan Xiyan agreed.
Sitting on the high platform, Yu Qiqi pointed at Jiang Lin in the arena and said angrily, "What nonsense is that brat spouting? He still wants to beat Sister Yan!"
She was already feeling quite angry because she hadn't been able to catch that brat.
Hearing him dare to say he wanted to win against Sister Yan, she was even more furious.
Lin Muze patted Yu Qiqi's back, soothing her and comforting her, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. He can't beat Sister Yan anyway, it's okay to let him have his fun."
Seeing that Ruan Xiyan agreed, Jiang Lin attacked her first.
Ruan Xiyan stood still, neither dodging nor flinching, and took the punch that came at her.
Jiang Lin's eyes flashed with surprise. His full-force attack was caught so easily by her. No wonder she was worthy of becoming the sect leader.
Jiang Lin was about to withdraw his hand when he found that Ruan Xiyan was holding it tightly.
Ruan Xiyan twisted her wrist, and Jiang Lin immediately cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch, ouch, my arm!"
As Ruan Xiyan loosened her grip, Jiang Lin staggered and almost fell.
He turned to look at Ruan Xiyan and continued to attack with the spiritual power in his hand.
Ruan Xiyan stood with her hands behind her back, unleashing a burst of power to block the attack, while simultaneously unleashing her mental energy.
Jiang Lin felt a sharp pain and dizziness in his head, and his legs went weak, causing him to fall to the ground.
Ruan Xiyan's spiritual power transformed into a dagger, which she held against his neck. "You've lost."
Although it was a battle with no suspense whatsoever, it was still surprising to see Ruan Xiyan win so easily.
The other disciples cheered, "Sect Master is mighty!"
Ruan Xiyan put away her spiritual power and dagger. Jiang Lin slowly got up from the ground, looking at her with shining eyes.
"So strong! So amazing!"
He considered himself exceptionally talented, but after meeting the sect leader today, he realized that there are always people more capable than him, and that there is always something beyond his reach.
"Sect Master, from this day forward, my heart will be connected with the Illusionary Hidden Sect. Even if you want to drive me away in the future, you will not be able to. I will dedicate my life to the Illusionary Hidden Sect."
Jiang Lin spoke in a childish tone, as if he were ready to dedicate his life to it.
Ruan Xiyan's lips twitched slightly.
She looked at the disciples in the arena and said, "Those who did not receive a reward after this competition should not be discouraged. There will be another chance next time."
"Disciples who have achieved good results should not be arrogant. Only by guarding against pride and impetuosity can they go further. I hope that you can continue your efforts and strive to win more awards."
The disciples clasped their hands in a fist salute, saying, "Yes, we will certainly live up to the sect leader's expectations."
After Ruan Xiyan finished speaking, she glanced at Jiang Lin standing beside her and said, "Come with me."
Jiang Lin, unaware of what was going on, followed Ruan Xiyan.
The sect leader specifically called him away; could it be to settle scores for what happened earlier? The sect leader doesn't seem like a petty person.
Inside the main hall.
Yu Qiqi glared at Jiang Lin, who was standing there. If Lin Muze hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have kicked him.
Facing Yu Qiqi's angry glare, Jiang Lin still maintained his roguish demeanor, "Sect Master, is there something you need from me?"
"You think the Illusionary Concealment Sect is no longer challenging? I'm giving you a task; let's see if you dare to accept it."
"Sect Master, there's nothing I wouldn't dare to accept. I love challenges the most. Please feel free to give me any orders, Sect Master," Jiang Lin said, patting his chest.
"I plan to select one hundred disciples from among my many students for intensive training to form the Hundred Resilient Team. Their combat strength must reach the level of being able to fight ten people at once."
“In the future, they will represent the pinnacle of the Illusionary Concealment Sect.” Ruan Xiyan looked at Jiang Lin. “And I plan to hand over the leadership of the Hundred Resilient Group to you.”
Compared to other forces that have stood on the continent for many years, the Illusionary Concealment Sect has no unique advantages of its own.
Whether in terms of numbers or the talent of their disciples, they cannot compare to them. If they cannot find another way, the Illusionary Hidden Sect will always remain a third-rate force.
It is difficult to recruit more people in a short period of time, and there is no guarantee that those disciples will not have ulterior motives, that their character and strength will be uneven, or that they will be able to work together with the Illusionary Concealment Sect.
More importantly, the limited resources of a sect are also a problem; the more disciples a sect has, the fewer resources are distributed among them.
Therefore, it is neither appropriate nor suitable for the current Illusionary Concealment Sect to recruit a large number of disciples. The best approach is to strive for excellence and select one hundred people from the sect to form the Hundred Resilient Team.
The sect will allocate more resources to them, develop more rigorous training methods for them, and cultivate them into formidable experts.
"The Hundred-Toughness Group? What's that?" Lin Muze asked, puzzled.
Ruan Xiyan explained it to them.
“First, select one hundred disciples with outstanding strength and character from the sect. The monthly sect disciple competition can be held as usual. During the competition, other disciples in the sect can challenge the disciples in the Hundred Resilient Group.”
"The winning disciple can replace the losing disciple and stay in the Hundred Resilient Group. The treatment in the Hundred Resilient Group is far better than that of ordinary disciples."
"In this way, both ordinary disciples in the sect and disciples in the Hundred Resilient Group can be inspired to fight and make progress."
“This method is indeed quite good.” Yu Qiqi nodded.
But why would Sister Yan hand over the position of leader of the Hundred Resilience Team to Jiang Lin, such a troublemaker?
Although he was the strongest among the disciples, his arrogant temperament made it no easy task for him to manage the disciples in the Hundred Resilient Group.
Yu Qiqi only thought about it in her heart, but did not say it out loud. Sister Yan must have her own reasons for doing this.
Ruan Xiyan looked at Jiang Lin and continued, "With your abilities, you can do things to the best of your ability if you want to."
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be a member of a powerful family who ran away from home in a fit of pique."
Jiang Lin was astonished and exclaimed, "Sect Master, you know this? That's incredible!"
He never mentioned where he came from, nor did he say that he had run away from home.
"Sect Master, how did you figure that out?" Jiang Lin asked in surprise. "Could it be that the Sect Master can also perform divination?"
"The sacred artifact you carry is not something that ordinary small forces can afford. You are quite strong at such a young age, so you must not lack cultivation resources."
“A junior like you must have an extraordinary status in a powerful organization, but you went out without anyone by your side. It’s obvious that you had a conflict with your family and ran away from home.”
"And then there's your fearless temper. Joining the sect was purely for fun. Clearly, you've been spoiled by your family and don't know your place," Ruan Xiyan said bluntly.
