Chapter 308 - Lower Region

Chapter 308 - Lower Region

Everyone knew Lin Mingxu and Gongsun Zhen were picking on Liu Wuxie because of his low cultivation and didn’t dare to go after the other five. Not to mention, Liu Wuxie came from the mundane world and had no backing.

After all, these people were the easiest to bully, and they wouldn’t resist no matter what they were asked to do. But it was unfortunate that they were destined to be disappointed this time.

Humiliated in public, terrifying murderous intent swept out from Lin Mingxu and Gongsun Zhen as they clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.

“Very good. I will remember you!” Lin Mingxu laughed instead of getting angry, a brutal smile hanging on the corner of his lips. After joining the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, he planned to settle the score with Liu Wuxie slowly.

With that, the farce ended with Liu Wuxie’s name remembered by everyone. After all, Liu Wuxie was the only one chosen among the six who was in the third level of the True Core Realm.

Liu Wuxie walked out from the crowd and stood with the other five. Aside from Yin Yu, everyone maintained their distance from him, not wanting to get too close.

After all, those from the mundane world were trash, in their opinion.

“I’m Yin Yu!” Yin Yu walked over proactively, extending her hand in a gesture of goodwill.

“Liu Wuxie!” Liu Wuxie replied.

The remaining disciples went to the box to draw lots, randomly picking their colors.

Lin Mingxu and Gongsun Zhen were the first to draw and were both lucky. They both drew white, representing the Heavenly Trigram Peak.

“Hahaha! What a stroke of luck! Brat, you’re dead now!” Lin Mingxu burst into laughter because they had joined the Heavenly Trigram Peak. This meant they would have plenty of opportunities to deal with Liu Wuxie.

A bold idea rose in their minds. Even if Liu Wuxie could receive double the resources, the resources would still fall into their hands if he couldn’t protect them.

The other disciples followed next, spending an hour to divide into six factions, each with a roughly similar number of disciples.

“Brother Liu, I’ll visit you when I can!” Weng Li drew dark yellow, joining the Terrain Summit Peak. This meant they wouldn’t have many chances to meet in the future.

Liu Wuxie nodded in response. Out of everyone, only Weng Li had a relatively good relationship with him, and he wouldn’t mind helping if he could. After all, they all came from the mundane world.

When all the disciples were divided into six factions, they followed the six deacons to enter the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

The deacon in white brought forty people with them to the Heavenly Trigram Peak’s Registration Hall. Everyone would receive their first batch of resources, uniforms, and disciple medals. The items were long prepared for them and arranged into boxes, with Liu Wuxie obtaining the largest.

Meanwhile, the decon who had escorted them took his leave.

Staying in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was only temporary because the resources issued each month weren’t even enough for him to return to the Celestial Realm in a thousand years. But he had no choice but to make do for now.

As time passed, the monthly resources received by these old disciples would decrease, and they were barely making ends meet. If they couldn't achieve anything by the age of forty, they would either be assigned menial tasks or handle miscellaneous matters. And these three weren't young anymore.

After all, the sect wouldn’t keep garbage around, and the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was generous enough. In the other sects, everyone would be sent out of the sect to manage the sect’s businesses if they couldn’t advance for three years.

The man’s hand hung in mid-air, with his expression becoming stiff. He didn’t expect the newcomer to have such a temper.

"Senior Brother Zhang Lin, our newcomer, seems to have quite the temper!" The youth withdrew his hand, casting an eerie gaze. Zhang Lin stood in the middle, flanked by Zhu You and Wu He. It was Zhu You who spoke, his smile freezing on his face, replaced by a brutal grin.

Zhang Lin began to chuckle sinisterly, sending shivers down everyone’s spines. He said, “Well, we specialize in dealing with fiery tempers. Kneel and lick our toes!”

The moment he said that, the other two burst into laughter.

“Kid, did you hear that? If you want to stay here, kneel and lick our toes.” Wu He chimed in and deliberately removed his shoes to release a foul odor, demanding Liu Wuxie to go down to his knees and lick their toes.

“You all have one breath to leave. If you dare appear before me in the future, don’t blame me for being impolite!” Liu Wuxie was enraged. He wanted to maintain a low profile, but trouble tended to come knocking on his door like a curse.

“Hahaha!” The three burst into laughter after hearing what Liu Wuxie said. They laughed so hard that they began tearing up. The three might be stuck in the third level of the True Core Realm, but they had tempered their cultivation for seven to eight years. Even ordinary people in the fourth level might not be their match.

But today, a newcomer mocked them, and they naturally wouldn’t take this lying down.

“Brat, you’re finished just because of what you said earlier. Deathmatch is barred in the sect, but we will ensure you live in fear daily!” After Zhang Lin was done speaking, he punched Liu Wuxie without hesitation.

They were all ruthless and had bullied countless newcomers over the years. But it was special this year because there weren’t many who were assigned to the lower region.

Lin Mingxu and Gongsun Zhen were assigned to the middle region, meaning they would soon be promoted to the upper region.

Zhang Lin’s punch was powerful, as expected of an old-timer. Someone who had just reached the third level of the True Core Realm might not be his opponent, and the density of his true essence was even higher compared to those in the fourth level.

Most importantly, they had spent a lot of time honing their martial technique, and even the most ordinary attack could unleash incredible power. This was why many newcomers weren’t willing to offend old-timers and would even compromise as much as possible.

Zhu You and Wu He stood on both sides to prevent Liu Wuxie from escaping.

However, Liu Wuxie had no intention of running because he wanted to establish his authority. In the future, he would call shots in this courtyard.

The punch swiftly approached Liu Wuxie, who lifted his leg and kicked right before the punch was about to reach him. Furthermore, his kick was aimed at Zhang Lin’s lower abdomen.
