Chapter 230 - Inner Sect Rules

Roan didn't seem to care about their current positions that much.

"Is there any point in entering the Inner Sect? We basically have everything we need. Inner Sect Members have access to the cultivation tower, but we already have it. They also get more cultivation resources like Spirit Stones and pills. However, we already don't lack Spirit Stones. As for pills, I'm the only one who can create pills compatible with our elemental affinity. Neutral Pills are even easier to make thanks to our two elements."

Rean then remembered something.

"Oh, right! Didn't you want to check the cultivation and skill manuals and things like that to take reference? Outer Sect disciples like us have limited access to them. We can't go past the first floor of the cultivation repository. But if we join the inner sect, we will get access to the inner sect manuals."

Only now did Roan remember that. Indeed, he had used other skill manuals to help him develop the next skills of the Death Style. Malaka's Staff Skill was one of them.

In the end, he couldn't help but nod his head.

"That would be helpful."

But it was then that he pondered.

"However, isn't it easier to simply ask Mia? After everything you did for the sect, she wouldn't mind letting us look at those books."

Rean then shrugged his shoulders.

"Where is the fun in that? Besides, let's not use our favors for such simple things. Since we can enter the inner sect with ease, let's do so."

Roan agreed with Rean in that, and so, the two went directly to the fighting arenas. In the arena, you would need to reach a minimum score to challenge the Inner Sect members. Of course, that wasn't a problem for Rean and Roan. They had been coming here to practice against each other and other disciples several times, always challenging those with cultivations above themselves. They were already close to the very top between the outer sect disciples.

They quickly went to the counter where the outer sect disciple received the requests.

"Oh! It's you two again. I don't think anyone in the outer sect wishes to fight you two anymore, though."

There were several outer sect disciples there at the moment, and no one dared to fight these two little demons anymore, especially the black demon.

The disciple had taken Rean and Roan's registration several times, so he knew them quite well.

Rean shook his head after hearing that.

"We both came here to challenge an Inner Sect disciple. We have been in the outer sect for a long time already."

"Really?!"

Suddenly, all the disciples around went in an uproar!Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #...-and-me_17340518006576905/inner-sect-rules_50209235610423929 for visiting.

"Finally, they are leaving us alone!"

"I always wondered why they stayed in the outer sect for so long."

"Isn't that obvious? They probably like to bully others, but now that there is no one to fight them anymore, they can only join the Inner Sect."

"Still, it will be a sight to behold. Let's see how they fare against the Inner Sect disciples!"

"Uh? What are you talking about? A few of the disciples that joined the Inner Sect in the past few months had already battled those two. Of course, they did that before they entered the Inner Sect. Still, do you think they will be a match against the white and black demons?"

"This brother is right. The Inner Sect entrance exam, which is the challenge fight, will not pose any threat to those two."

"Exactly. Besides, the twins are only 13 years old at the moment, no? The Inner Sect doesn't have anyone below the age of 14 except for Agis. However, Agis is a Red Color Aptitude with a Core Elder as a master, so he doesn't count."

"Yep. Because of that, they can challenge any one of the disciples at the very bottom of the Inner Sect. Although the Inner Sect doesn't have anyone below the Late Stage of the Foundation Establishment, the twin demons are also at this stage. Does anyone here believe that they would lose to someone at the same cultivation level?"

The disciple behind the counter couldn't help but shrug his shoulders.

"See? You are doing the right thing by trying to join the Inner Sect."

Rean and Roan could only sigh at that view. This was the result of their constant appearances over time. However, it was then that Rean noticed another advantage of joining the Inner Sect.

"Hey. The Inner Sect disciples can fight each other directly. Doesn't that mean you can challenge those at the Core Formation Realm once we join? The Inner Sect average cultivation is already at the Middle Stage of the Core Formation Realm. There is no lack of people who can really make you go all out."

Roan couldn't help but feel a little moved. There was no one else in the Outer Sect that he wanted to fight or dared to take his challenge. However, that was definitely not a problem for the Inner Sect. He could even find Peak Stage Core Formation Realm disciple to practice on his own.

"Very well. Let's go."

The disciple attending them then asked.

"You two are very young, so there is no problem with the age difference restriction. The Inner Sect always keeps 1000 disciples, but you can only challenge the 901st disciple and below. If you want to challenge the higher-level ones, you will need to join the Inner Sect and make your way up."

Rean and Roan looked at each other, puzzled.

"How does it work?"

"Once you enter the Inner Sect, you can't challenge anyone more than 10 positions above you in the position board. After all, the Inner Sect would become chaotic if any 999th position guy tried to challenge the top 100 just to try his luck."

Rean thought that it was strange.

"Why would they challenge someone so much stronger?"

The disciple then explained.

"You know about the age difference restriction, right? Outer Sect Disciples can't challenge anyone in the inner sect that is more than one year younger than themselves. That is to prevent old disciples from using their cultivation, which they had accrued for a long time, to defeat a disciple who didn't have all that time."

Rean and Roan nodded and waited for the disciple to continue.

"However, inside the Inner Sect, this restriction doesn't exist. Anyone of any age can challenge any of the other Inner Sect disciples. Also, the higher you are in the rank, the more resources and benefits you get. Obviously, everyone wants to be as high as possible."

"To keep things under control, there is a rule where you can't challenge anyone more than 10 positions above you. Otherwise, we would see meaningless battles where overconfident disciples would throw themselves at the lion's den for the sake of resources."

"Also, you must be careful. If you challenge someone above you and win, anyone can challenge you straight away. That means you might have to fight while you have no more energy and are full of injuries. If you lose, it is even worse since those below you can take the same opportunity to take your position in the rank. The only ones who are safe are the ones who were challenged. Whether you win or lose, if you were the one challenged, you get one month of protection."

"Of course, if you think that you don't need that one month of protection, you can apply to give it up. Also, to prevent others from abusing this one month of protection, you can't challenge anyone during this time unless you want to give up that protection. After all, we can't have disciples challenging others above without being afraid of being challenged by those below."

Rean and Roan had to admit that the system was well thought out.

"Simply put, this is a system designed to put the ones who issue the challenges in greater peril than those who receive them. Like that, the latent potential of the disciple can be awakened."

Roan, who was eager to fight, liked it very much and agreed with that system.

"Alright, here's my sect badge. Take the 2000 points and let me select someone to fight."

Rean did the same thing.

"Here's my badge as well."

They had been doing duties and missions for the sect for almost a year already. 2000 Sect Points was not a problem for them at all.

As they did that, several disciples that were present in the fighting arenas began to gather. Although no one liked to fight the white and black demons, they definitely loved to watch it. Even some disciples from outside began to gather as well after receiving the information. 

"Alright. Here's the list. However, it only shows the disciples' names and cultivation level—nothing else."

Rean and Roan didn't mind that, though.

Roan was the first one to select. He noticed that some of the names were marked in red or blue. The red ones were disciples that had been challenged in the past month, so they had a month of protection. As for the blue ones, they were disciples that were out doing missions. Obviously, there was no way to challenge those since they are not present. Anyway, Roan didn't want to pass through all the first one hundred people, so he chose the highest possible Inner Sect disciple.

"903rd one, Limio Sunda. Initial Stage of the Core Formation Realm."

Rean pondered a bit and decided that he might as well do the same thing. He might not be Roan's match in a one on one, but he was definitely stronger than others.

"907th place, Fredin Jamot. Initial Stage of the Core Formation Realm."

The disciple behind the counter nodded before saying.

"Very well. I'll call them over right away."
