Ling Xiao stopped cultivating and walked out of the training room.
Outside, the sky had just turned bright as the sun slowly rose above the horizon.
“Noble Son, you finally came out.”
Leng Mei who was leaning against the corridor just outside the door became overjoyed upon seeing him.
“Eh? Your cultivation has already reached Peak Rank Seven Martial Vein. Not bad, not bad.”
Leng Mei’s body potential was very high. In the past, she just hadn’t had good conditions. Now that she had become an entry disciple of White Cloud Great Master, her cultivation speed was naturally fast.
“My improvement is nothing. Shi Lei, Big Sister Yixue, Die Wu, Zhu Hua, and Fei Yu have already broken through to Initial Rank Eight Martial Vein. Dai Yuling has reached Late Rank Eight Martial Vein, Zuo Leng has reached Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein, and Ming Tian has already reached Late Rank Nine Martial Vein. They are all better than me.”
Leng Mei smiled bitterly.
“Don’t be anxious; you just had a lower cultivation base before. You will catch up with them.”
Ling Xiao consoled.
“Noble Son, you don’t need to worry. This Leng Mei will not be discouraged.”
Leng Mei said with a smile.
“That’s good. By the way, why did you come here?”
“Well, Teacher instructed me to bring you to the True Spirit Hall immediately after you exited seclusion. Just a month or so is left before the recruitment assessment of the hidden sects. I guess he wants to choose the three for his recommendation.”
Leng Mei replied.
“Let’s go.”
Ling Xiao nodded then quickly walked towards the True Spirit Hall.
In the True Spirit Hall, everyone else had already arrived besides Leng Mei and Ling Xiao.
“Humph, such a big face! Teacher instructed us to assemble, and you actually dared to come late?”
Fei Yu had just broken through to Rank Eight Martial Vein. Therefore, he felt that he had a chance to take revenge.
He also seemed to have noticed that he couldn’t continue to delay his revenge. If he continued to delay, Ling Xiao would surpass him sooner or later. At that time, there would be no chance.
Therefore, upon seeing Ling Xiao, he intentionally provoked him.
He wanted the other party to make a move first, then he would propose a life and death match. Like that, he would be able to reasonably take his revenge.
Merely, Ling Xiao completely ignored him. He, instead, bowed to White Cloud Great Master and said: “This disciple just learned that Teacher has instructed us to assemble!”
“It’s okay. Sit down.”
White Cloud Great Master waved his hand. He didn’t blame Ling Xiao.
As a matter of fact, this meeting had only been delayed to today because quite a few disciples were in seclusion, and he had judged that all his disciples would exit seclusion today based on the auras within each training room.
Merely, Ling Xiao’s exit had been a bit late; it was meaningless to blame him.
“Many thanks, Teacher!”
Ling Xiao sat down crossed-legged.
“Well, now that everyone is here, let’s talk about business.”
After speaking, White Cloud Great Master looked at Ming Tian and Zuo Leng with doting eyes.
There was no doubt that these two fellows were his most valued disciples, and they didn’t disappoint him.
Breaking through to Rank Nine Martial Vein at 16 was already very rare.
However, Ming Tian’s cultivation had already reached Late Rank Nine Martial Vein; moreover, in terms of strength, he had practically no opponent within Rank Nine.
He had already left behind Lin Ze, White Cloud Temple Master, and Wan Ben.
Zuo Leng had just broken through to Rank Nine Martial Vein, but he was already strong enough to fight against Lin Ze and the others.
They were geniuses, different from ordinary people.
Every time a genius improved, he would be several or even dozens of times more powerful than ordinary people.
“In a month or so, Moonlight Sect’s recruitment assessment will begin. I wonder if you have the confidence to pass it?”
White Cloud Great Master’s tone was filled with expectation.
“Rest assured, Master. This disciple will not only pass the assessment but will also become the best disciple of Moonlight Sect. This disciple will not embarrass you!”
“This disciple is also not inferior to Ming Tian.”
Ming Tian and Zuo Leng said in succession.
The others had yet to speak, but White Cloud Great Master laughed heartily and said: “Hahaha, good, good! You two deserve to be the most outstanding disciples of this Master. This Master believes in your words.”
It seemed that only these two fellows were qualified to pass the assessment in the eyes of White Cloud Great Master. Therefore, the other disciples were thrown to the side and ignored.
After a while, he said: “You all know that this Master has three recommendation spots. Among them, two spots are for Ming Tian and Zuo Leng. You all are fine with that, right?”
Eh?
Ling Xiao couldn’t help but frown.
Although he had already known that this would be the result long ago, White Cloud Great Master actually granted Ming Tian and Zuo Leng a spot so easily without any assessment, which still made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
This Teacher was too partial, and it was not simply a matter of once or twice.
Merely, since there still was a spot left, he didn’t complain.
After all, except Ming Tian and Zuo Leng, all the others were not his opponent regardless of their strength and potential.
He didn’t complain, and the others also didn’t dare to complain.
“Good! Today, I called you all for this matter. Now, you all can leave and go cultivate.”
While the remaining ten waited for White Cloud Great Master to decide who would take the third spot, White Cloud Great Master waved his hand and signaled for everyone to return to cultivate.
“Teacher, isn’t there a spot left?”
Dai Yuling couldn’t bear it and asked.
She had the highest cultivation base excluding Ming Tian and Zuo Leng, Ling Xiao naturally excluded.
Therefore, she was very concerned about this third spot.
“The issue of the third spot has already been decided by This Master. It is too wasteful for you all. After all, this recruitment is the first in tens of thousands of years. In the future, it might happen only after many years. If you all don’t pass the assessment, it will be a complete waste.”
White Cloud Great Master said indifferently.
What!
White Cloud Great Master stunned the other ten.
You just freely gave two spots to Ming Tian and Zuo Leng. Then, you even gave the remaining one spot to someone else. Wasn’t that too excessive?
“This disciple is unconvinced!”
Out of them all, Dai Yuling couldn’t accept this the most. One should know that she was also a true disciple of White Cloud Great Master.
“Unconvinced? As the master, this Master can tell you that the potential of the recipient of the third spot is not inferior to Ming Tian and Zuo Leng. In fact, he is even stronger than Zuo Leng. Do you think you have a chance?”
White Cloud Great Master stared at Dai Yuling and said: “Enough, don’t make trouble. You, after all, are the true disciple of this Master. In the future, this Master will train you wholeheartedly. Although it is not as good as joining the sect, you will still have a possibility of breaking through to the Transcendent Realm.”
Dai Yuling sat back on her original seat. Her complexion was deathly pale.
“Teacher, this disciple is also unconvinced!”
Ling Xiao slowly stood up and calmly looked at White Cloud Great Master.
As matters stood, he could no longer remain silent. In any case, he had to fight for a chance to enter Moonlight Sect. It was an opportunity to open up a new world. Perhaps, it might even be his only chance.
“You are also unconvinced?”
White Cloud Great Master frowned and said: “Could it be that you think you are better than Ming Tian and Zuo Leng?”
“Yes.”
Ling Xiao replied indifferently.
“Hahahaha.”
On the other side, Ming Tian laughed wildly.
Zuo Leng also showed a disdainful sneer.
I’ve seen overconfident people, but I have never seen a person overconfident to this extent.
White Cloud Great Master also sneered: “Alright, this old man wants to see how capable a genius who has the expectations of Lin Ze is. We will see if this old man will regret it or not!”
“Master, there is no need to listen to this kid’s nonsense. Why don’t you directly expel him from your tutelage?”
Ming Tian said.
“That’s right, Master, such a person can deceive teacher and destroy ancestor. What’s the use of keeping such a person?”
Zuo Leng said.
“Like that, it would seem that this Master is narrow-minded. How about this, Ling Xiao? This old man will give you a chance.”
White Cloud Great Master said with a smile.
