Chapter 470: Chapter 471: Gathering at the Square (2nd Update) (Please Subscribe!!!)

The higher the realm, the more Spiritual Energy is required for cultivation.

Within Wu Fengyun’s cave dwelling, Chu Fengmian could only just manage to cultivate, but the effects were minimal.

Chu Fengmian knew he had to obtain a cave dwelling in a higher-grade mountain range.

However, only the top ten contenders of the Mortals Ranking among the Outer Sect Disciples could possess a cave dwelling in the seventh-tier mountains, and even higher ones were reserved for Inner Sect Disciples and Core Disciples.

Only by making significant contributions to the sect would there be a chance to be directly rewarded with one.

"My current strength has already reached its limit, but that’s alright. Once I break through, I won’t be far from advancing to the Inner Sect. By then, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, I can just take it over," said Chu Fengmian in a low voice. Suddenly, he recalled the two individuals he’d heard talking in the skies above and questioned Wu Fengyun.

"Among the top ten in the Mortals Ranking, are there individuals with the surnames Ye and Yun?"

From the tone of those two, they must be among the top ten of the Mortals Ranking, perhaps even the top three. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so arrogantly boastful in conversation.

"Could Young Master be referring to Ye Guang and Yun Dou?" Wu Fengyun respectfully replied.

"These two currently hold the first and second positions in the Mortals Ranking respectively. They both possess the strength to advance to the Inner Sect early on but chose not to advance and instead dominate the Outer Sect. In terms of strength, they are no weaker than many Inner Sect Disciples."

"The Ye Yun, in particular, is rumored to have experienced incredible adventures, being a descendant of a Martial King and possessing Martial King bloodline. His strength is extraordinary, said to be able to contend with many top saints, and not far from the Life and Death Realm."

"So, he possesses such strength? No wonder he dares to plot against me," Chu Fengmian silently muttered upon hearing Wu Fengyun’s words.

"But even if someone with the strength of the Life and Death Realm dares to target me, it’s a dead end. Once I truly step into the Divine Power Realm, I will be able to annihilate a martial artist of the Life and Death Realm."

"I must first accumulate enough Merit Points to exchange for a chance to cultivate on the sacred mountain, then break through to the Divine Power Realm. That’s the priority."

Chu Fengmian calculated in his mind. He had been stuck at the peak of the Yu Feng Realm for a long time and now needed to seize an opportunity to break through to the Divine Power Realm.

Chu Fengmian felt that once he broke through to the Divine Power Realm, there would be drastic changes throughout his body’s bloodline power, bringing him endless benefits.

"How many Merit Points do you have? Hand them all over."

Chu Fengmian spoke to Wu Fengyun.

"Yes."

Wu Fengyun respectfully presented his identity card, and Chu Fengmian transferred all the Merit Points to his card, accumulating a total of 1,200 points.

Wu Fengyun alone had 1,000 Merit Points.

"Indeed, as a key figure in the Outer Sect, you possess quite a few Merit Points."

Chu Fengmian finally showed a smile upon seeing this number. However, even though he now had 1,200 points, it was still just a drop in the ocean compared to the tens of thousands of points required for a single cultivation session on the sacred mountain.

Chu Fengmian had to find an opportunity to earn a large amount of Merit Points from a major contest.

In Beimang Academy, there were always some tasks with incredibly high difficulty, but completing them could earn tens of thousands of Merit Points.

Chu Fengmian planned to take on such tasks directly to gain a large number of Merit Points swiftly.

In the eight days that followed, Chu Fengmian was in the cave dwelling, slowly practicing, not engaging in any cultivation, just bringing his body to an optimal state.

"Time is up."

Chu Fengmian murmured to himself, his figure vanishing from inside the cave dwelling.

The square was now crowded with people.

Ten days after entering the sect, the day of task assessments had arrived. At a glance, all the Outer Sect Disciples from this batch of newcomers were gathered in the square.

Besides these Outer Sect Disciples, there were also dozens of disciples dressed in purple robes, a stark contrast to the Outer Sect’s blue robes.

These purple-robed disciples were not Outer Sect Disciples but Inner Sect Disciples of Beimang Academy, each surpassing ordinary peak saints in strength.

These Inner Sect Disciples stood at the front of the square, their presence as imposing as a rainbow, each one an arrogant genius.

"How terrifying, is this the might of the Inner Sect Disciples?"

"Their gazes are like sharp swords. We don’t dare meet their eyes."

Whispers arose.

For these Outer Sect Disciples, the Inner Sect Disciples were indeed a presence high above, to be looked up to.

Chu Fengmian arrived at the square and looked around, but Han Yueli was nowhere to be seen.

Not only Han Yueli but also Yan Gu and Mu Ye Zhan, who had been taken away by the elders to be accepted as disciples, were not present in this assessment.

These individuals had been directly promoted to Inner Sect Disciples, even as disciples of the elders, naturally exempt from such tedious assessments.

"Is that young man Chu Fengmian? The newcomer king of this batch, I heard he has made quite a name for himself."

An Inner Sect martial artist set his eyes on the arriving Chu Fengmian, his mind stirring as he activated his Spiritual Sense to scrutinize Chu Fengmian, seemingly trying to see through him completely.

However, Chu Fengmian was well-prepared. His foundations were all thoroughly concealed. Only the strength he displayed was visible, something even the elders couldn’t penetrate through, let alone a mere Inner Sect Disciple.

"Making a name for oneself is one thing, but not understanding restraint, this kind of person will sooner or later die by someone else’s hands," another Inner Sect Disciple said disdainfully after glancing at Chu Fengmian.

"Just a young kid who got lucky with a few adventures, now he thinks he can be arrogant. But he’s nothing but trash, in the whole Outer Sect, only Ye Guang and Yun Dou have some strength, the rest are just trash."

This Inner Sect Disciple’s words were extremely arrogant, dismissing the entire Outer Sect wholesale.

However, these Inner Sect Disciples were indeed superior to those from the Outer Sect, and any one of them could dominate there, naturally not caring about these mere Outer Sect Disciples.

"That’s true, this kid is at best a fish in a pond. He may act big in a small pond, but placed in rivers and lakes, he’s nothing significant," yet another Inner Sect Disciple remarked.

Amidst this discussion, suddenly, an elder descended from the sky; it was Elder Su Ling.

Seeing Elder Su Ling appear, these Inner Sect Disciples also stopped talking, waiting for Elder Su Ling to speak.
