Chapter 457: Chapter 458: Outer Sect Disciple (3rd Update) (Please Subscribe!!!)

The recruitment conference has now ended.

Those martial artists who have not been selected by the elders have lost the opportunity to ascend to the heavens in one step, which has made many martial artists somewhat dejected.

"If you people have not been caught the elders’ eyes, don’t be discouraged. As long as you are in the academy, practice diligently, and in the future, there will also be opportunities to advance to the Inner Sect Disciples, even becoming Core Disciples is possible."

Elder Su Ling looked at the remaining people and said with a smile.

"Now among the Core Disciples, Ouyang Chen, for example, even though he started as an Outer Sect Disciple, has step by step been promoted to become a Core Disciple and has even broken into the Heavenly Ranking. You all have opportunities as well."

Elder Su Ling’s words reignited the fighting spirit in the eyes of many martial artists below.

"Indeed, I have also heard Brother Ouyang’s story. From an Outer Sect Disciple, step by step promoted, he even defeated many disciples of elders, stepping into the ranks of the Core Disciples."

"Yes, we can do it too, we can also compete with those elder’s disciples."

Several martial artists started talking, one after another, regaining their confidence.

However, Chu Fengmian, upon hearing this story, couldn’t help shaking his head.

Ouyang Chen’s story was indeed impressive within Beimang Academy, but his rise is something that not one in a hundred thousand could achieve.

After all, those who become disciples under the elders are inherently highly talented, and with even more resources, the gap will likely continue to widen.

Elder Su Ling’s remarks were simply to help everyone regain confidence.

"Alright, now you all go settle in the Outer Sect first. Your dwellings have already been prepared for you, and in a few days, the sect tasks will be handed down, and at that time, you’ll have to truly work for the sect."

With that, Elder Su Ling left.

The remaining disciples of Beimang Academy then led the rest of the people to a mountain range.

This surrounding mountain area belonged to the Outer Sect Disciples, filled with countless dwellings.

The majority of Beimang Academy’s disciples belong to the Outer Sect, but the region they occupy is not vast.

Like the Inner Sect Disciples, one person’s occupied region can be a hundred times larger than that of an Outer Sect Disciple, and a Core Disciple’s region is even ten thousand times that of an Outer Sect Disciple.

In Beimang Academy, all status and resources are determined by strength.

The larger the region one occupies, the more Spiritual Energy they can draw upon, and the faster their cultivation will progress.

"All of these are unclaimed dwellings; distribute them among yourselves. Each person is only allowed to occupy one, take a few days to rest, and after becoming familiar with the rules of Beimang Academy, proceed to the plaza in ten days to wait for your task assignments."

The Outer Sect Disciples of Beimang Academy cannot simply practice every day like the Inner Sect Disciples. They are tasked with duties and receive fixed tasks each year.

Only after completing these tasks can they find the time to cultivate, and while completing tasks does bring certain benefits, it is far from continuous diligent cultivation.

Without joining the Inner Sect, one cannot even cultivate in peace.

The Beimang Academy disciple finished speaking and left directly, leaving Chu Fengmian and a group of people standing in the mountain range, looking at the countless dwellings around them.

"Hmph, after all the hardships we went through to join Beimang Academy, we actually still have to follow orders to complete tasks, it’s practically like being slaves."

With the departure of that disciple, many began to complain.

They were all disciples from great families and now found themselves constrained within Beimang Academy, each of them extremely dissatisfied.

"Stop the pointless talk. We should focus on cultivating, so we can advance to Inner Sect Disciples as soon as possible and rid ourselves of these burdensome tasks."

"As for these dwellings, with their varying sizes, we should quickly pick a good one."

After a martial artist finished speaking, he left directly to choose a dwelling.

While all these dwellings were in one mountain range, each was different in size and elevation.

Some dwellings were situated on mountaintops with extremely rich Spiritual Energy.

Others were nestled in lower, shallow corners, with thin Spiritual Energy. There was a substantial difference between each dwelling.

"The best dwelling in this mountain range should be right there."

Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Sense swept around, taking in all the surrounding dwellings in one glance. With a move of his body, he directly arrived at a dwelling midway up the mountainside.

This dwelling, while not at the very top, was situated quite high and incredibly large, four to five times bigger than a typical dwelling and the best in this mountain range.

Cultivating in this dwelling would indeed be four to five times faster than in an ordinary dwelling.

"Just entered the sect; this will have to do for now."

Chu Fengmian muttered to himself, feeling the Spiritual Energy around him.

Such a dwelling was far from satisfying Chu Fengmian’s needs. He knew that this mountain range was already quite a distance from the Spiritual Spring.

The mountain ranges close to the Spiritual Spring were the regions of the Core Disciples and even Inner Sect Disciples.

Far beyond Chu Fengmian could reach for the time being.

Right now, he could only operate in this mountain range, seeking out the best dwelling available.

With that, Chu Fengmian began arranging various things within the dwelling. In order to cultivate properly, it was natural to set up some Arrays and prohibitions.

"Oh? Has someone already occupied this dwelling?"

While Chu Fengmian was setting things up, a sudden noise came from outside the dwelling.

It seemed like two people came together, aiming for the very dwelling Chu Fengmian was in.

Chu Fengmian’s dwelling, being the best one in the whole mountain range, naturally attracted the attention of many who wished to claim it.

"It’s just a little guy at the Wind-Riding Realm."

One middle-aged man looked at Chu Fengmian and let out a disdainful snort.

"Such trash, daring to occupy the best dwelling, really doesn’t know whether to live or die."

"Kid, get out of here quick!"

He suddenly shouted angrily, throwing a punch, breaking through the prohibition that Chu Fengmian had just halfway finished setting up.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this commotion, Chu Fengmian turned around and saw two middle-aged men.

He had a bit of an impression of these two. The one who had just spoken was Niu Feng, considered a strong contender among the newcomers, with strength close to the ninth level of the Divine Power realm, but not favored by the elders due to his modest talent.

The other person was Ma Yun, with strength quite similar to Niu Feng’s.

The strengths of these two were originally among the peak of the new recruits, and now they have banded together.

It seemed that within this batch of new recruits, there was likely no one who could oppose them.
