Cough!

I coughed out blood and flew back. I quickly put my hand down to stop my instant defeat. My hand was getting battered by the pieces, but I stopped right before I was about to leave the ring’s edge. Then, I looked at Ji Riyal.

The dust had not cleared yet. The ice boundary that I had created had fallen down and I could not see what was happening there.

But I looked up and saw that there was one elder missing from the seat. The first elder!

“He is Ji Riyal’s master!” I remembered.

I shook my hand slightly and the ice that was there slowly disappeared into nothing. It didn’t vanish completely. No one could make something out of nothing.

All I did was hasten the process of converting the ice into vapor.

Then, I could see the real scenario.

The first elder was standing in front Ji Riyal. In his hands, was my spear. He was frowning, and looked back at Ji Riyal.

“How suicidal can you be? Did you want to die trying to win? See! Your attack did not even defeat him. It did no damage to him at all! And you wanted to forsake your life? Is it worth it?” the first elder said to Ji Riyal with a ruthless voice.

“Forgive me, master. I had a lapse in judgement.” Ji Riyal bent his head down.

“Yes. And for this lapse in judgement, you will be sent to the dream pavilion for one month. Go and reflect on your mistakes.” the first elder said.

Ji Riyal could do nothing but nod. And nod he did.

“This fight has a clear winner then? Liu Feng wins the outer sect battle. He enters the Inner sect with a ranking of one hundred on the silver rankings. And as for Ji Riyal, he will have to enter the martial pavilion later to get ranked.” the first elder said.

The moment he said this, everyone who seemed to be from the Inner sect looked at me with envy.

And with this, even I felt a sudden surge in strength and power. I felt like there was a slumbering beast inside of me that was growing stronger.

Ping!

Host has learnt the Undefeatable Dao! Host has gained progression in the Dao the system said.

It was then that I realized that if I wanted to grow in the undefeatable dao, then I had to defeat all of my enemies. And not ones that I knew I could defeat. The truly powerful ones.

“Let us get going then,” the first elder was about to look away when I interrupted him.

“If you don’t mind me asking, elder, what is the cultivation of the person who is in the spot above me?” I asked. I wanted to know how powerful the people I suddenly offended were.

“I cannot say. That is a secret. But generally, people in the top one hundred are all in the low and mid Core Formation stage. Just like you.” the elder said.

“Thank god. I was afraid that I would be facing a lot of powerful seniors. I am glad to know that I stand a chance against them.” I breathed a sigh of relief.

“Don’t be happy just yet. Your senior brothers and sisters have spent three years with the help of the elders to comprehend the bottlenecks that they faced and to understand the Dao. You are weak. Next month, when you will have to battle to keep your ranking, then you will understand how lacking you are. Until then, accept the benefits of being in the top one hundred.” the first elder shook his head and smiled.

The first elder grabbed Ji Riyal and he disappeared from where he stood.

But he did not reappear where he was supposed to. He seemed to have gone somewhere else. I suspected that he went to the Dream Pavilion for that punishment.

“Well then, that was no proper way to announce the winner of the grand trials to enter the Inner sect! The trial that happens only once every three years should be celebrated most wonderfully. The sect is truly grateful that among the ten that have been selected, a total of four from the new disciples have entered the Inner sect. This is a record that has never appeared before. I shall start by welcoming you to the Inner sect.

And to all of those that have failed to enter the inner sect, cultivate diligently. There are more than one ways to enter the inner sect. If you catch the eye of an elder, then he or she can send you to the inner sect. But for that, you must cultivate. The martial dao is not so easily transversed.

And now, the ten that have entered the sect, you may enter the inner sect and cultivate the new robes that denote your new status.” my master stood up and said grandly.

He was truly a master of public speaking. With this, the disciples roared. It was also new to me that one could become an inner sect disiple by impressing an elder.

But I was already in the Inner sect. Now, I had something else to take care of entirely. And that was the ticking time bomb in my system.

There were only ten days remaining. That was not even an estimate. After those ten days, there was not knowing where I could be transported. That was why I needed to prepare.

I decided that I would go to the sect treasury to get my weapon of choice. Rather than a weapon, I knew that I needed a new armor.

I walked up to the point where the first elder once stood. I bent down to take the spear that he had stopped.

“I need to grow strong enough that not even the first elder can stop my spear.” I thought to myself.
