Chapter 10

C10 – He Was Being Made a Fool Of!

The Cultivation Room was indeed a prized place, but Warriors couldn’t spend all their time there. This was especially true for Peng Gengkun, an elite disciple limited to just ten visits per month.

“I can use Spirit Stones to boost my realm, but it’s nothing compared to the Cultivation Room! Now with Wei Pengxing breathing down my neck, I need to ramp up my strength even more. I must either secure a hefty stash of Spirit Stones or earn the right to re-enter the Cultivation Room.”

Stepping out of the Cultivation Room, Peng Gengkun was met with the envious stares of some Outer Sect disciples. They understood the superior benefits of training within its walls compared to the outer areas.nove(l)bi(n.)com

Basking in their envy, Peng Gengkun strolled past the Outer Sect disciples with ease.

He overheard two of them murmuring to each other in hushed tones.

“Oh, how I wish I could enter the Cultivation Room!”

“Unless you become an elite disciple, the Cultivation Room is out of reach. Your only shot is to complete Sect Missions and earn the favor of an Inner Sect Elder. That’s your ticket in.”

“Considering our abilities as Outer Sect disciples, those missions are out of our league. Better to just focus on our cultivation here.”

Listening to their conversation sparked an idea in Peng Gengkun. He recalled the previous owner of his body had memories of Sect Missions. As an elite disciple, he was qualified to take on missions that weren’t overly challenging. Success could mean access to the Cultivation Room or a bounty of Spirit Stones.

Without hesitation, Peng Gengkun made his way to the Mission Hall, guided by the Flying Cloud Sect’s map.

The Mission Hall was quiet upon his arrival.

“I arrived at the Cultivation Room in the daylight! After ten hours of cultivation, it’s now the wee hours of the morning. Even Warriors need their rest, it seems! But those ten hours have left me feeling invigorated.”

With this thought, Peng Gengkun strode confidently into the Mission Hall.

The disciple smirked at Peng Gengkun’s growing irritation.

“Indeed, I’m toying with you! With your status, you’re only suited for these menial tasks!”

Peng Gengkun’s realization hit him like a lightning bolt: “You did this deliberately!”

“Do you want to strike me?” the disciple asked nonchalantly. “We’re in the Mission Hall. If you hit me here, the sect will take note, and you’ll be forced to leave the Flying Cloud Sect!”

Peng Gengkun’s fists tightened with rising anger, yet he stood powerless to act. Striking a disciple with a rank was not the same as hitting an ordinary one. Should Peng Gengkun lash out, he would certainly face retribution.

“It all boils down to the disparity in status. If only I had the standing of Wei Pengxing or Wei Mingzhi, I wouldn’t be subjected to this treatment. But I have only myself to rely on. If I possessed the power of an Inner Sect disciple today, not only would this disciple think twice before crossing me, but even Wei Mingzhi wouldn’t dare to provoke me!”

With these thoughts swirling in his head, Peng Gengkun exhaled deeply, forcefully quelling his rage.

Raising a single finger, he declared emphatically, “The day I become an Inner Sect disciple, I could beat you to a pulp, and the Flying Cloud Sect wouldn’t so much as bat an eye!”

The disciple burst into hysterical laughter. “By the time you make it to Inner Sect disciple, Wei Mingzhi will have long since been made a Direct Disciple!”

Peng Gengkun huffed in disdain and held his tongue, turning to leave.

But after just a couple of steps, the disciple taunted, “Although, if you’re so eager to meet your end, I do have a mission for you. Though, I doubt you’re up to the task.”

With that, he flippantly tossed a jade token into Peng Gengkun’s hands.

Glancing down at the inscription on the token, Peng Gengkun’s anger flared anew. “Seek out medicinal herbs in the Cloud Connecting Mountain Range? With its myriad of mutated beasts stronger than human Warriors of the same level, this is a task even Inner Sect disciples might fail to accomplish!”

Peng Gengkun was left utterly without words.
