"Junior brother Lu, how does it feel to be the center of attention?" Wang Qing smiled as she asked Lu Chen who was sitting at the table with a bitter look on his face.

"Nothing much, I'm so annoyed." Lu Chen said. Ever since his performance in the arena and the news that he was Jin Yun's nephew had been spread out, quite a few people from the academy had come to visit him on various grounds. However, they had all been rejected by him because of his injuries, and what made him at a loss of whether to laugh or cry was that Zhang Qiang, who had looked down on him back then, had also come to ask him if he was used to setting up a private room for him.

"That is because Martial Uncle Jin is someone who is doted on by the Sect Leader as a disciple. Although Martial Uncle Jin is currently an honorary disciple of the Sect Leader, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before he becomes an official disciple of the Sect Leader." Including Junior Master Jin, the Sect Leader has only taken in three disciples in total, the two of them only concern themselves with cultivation each day. As for the various matters within the Sect, they are usually handed over to Junior Master Jin to handle. Everyone can tell that the Sect Leader is grooming the next Sect Leader, and if they curry favor with you, it would be equivalent to fawning over the future Sect Leader. " Wang Qing said.

"You go out first. In a while, you'll understand that the labor of the Cloudsoaring sect isn't that simple. Wang Qing said meaningfully.

Lu Chen walked outside with his doubts. When he followed the new disciples who had been recruited into the chore house, he finally understood why Wang Qing was looking at him that way. When they arrived at the forest behind the Qiyun Mountains, they saw that there were two people holding onto trees as thick as a person's arm, while they didn't have any tools in their possession.

"Listen up. First of all, you have to cut down a tree by yourself. Don't use spiritual energy, if I discover anyone using spiritual energy secretly, I will be expelled." Zhang Qiang's voice sounded.

"Then what are we going to use to cut down the trees, Uncle-Master?" There are no tools at all. " a disciple asked.

"Using your hands is the best tool, of course." Zhang Qiang said.

"What?" "How can this be cut apart?" The people in the crowd immediately broke out into a flurry of discussion.

"Alright, the reason why the sect let you do this is to train your physical body, but if someone is unwilling, then there is no way down the mountain." Zhang Qiang said.

Everyone immediately stopped talking.

"Alright, let's begin. In four hours, I want to see a book that has been cut." Zhang Qiang said.

The moment Zhang Qiang finished his words, everyone hurriedly found the tree they wanted to chop down and started to chop down at it with both of their hands.

"This Cloudsoaring sect's cultivation method is really depressing." Lu Chen looked at his red hands and said helplessly. Forget it, since it's true that we can train our physical bodies, let's just start. " Lu Chen made up his mind and chopped at the tree again and again.

After four hours, some of them had already been cut down and only half of them had been cut down. As for Lu Chen, because he was an Aurous Core stage cultivator, his physical body was still in the Aurous Core stage, so he had cut it off very early on. But now, his hands were already red, and when he looked at the other people's hands, many of them were already badly mutilated.

"Four hours have passed. Those that are finished can participate in this year's promotion. Those that are not finished can not participate." Zhang Qiang said.

"What?" If there's nothing else, you just can't enter the inner sect. " The people below said.

"The time when you think you can't participate in the advancement competition is when you can't enter the inner sect. I'm talking about going from the small courtyard to the Sky, Earth, and Yellow Branch. Although at that time, you can't enter according to your different cultivations, even if you can't pass the advancement competition." Zhang Qiang said.

"What? How could this be?" The people below said.

"If you have any complaints, you can leave immediately." Zhang Qiang said.

Sure enough, after Zhang Qiang's words, no one said anything else. How could they just leave like that after trying so hard to get in?

"If you have no objections, then come with me to the river to draw water." Zhang Qiang said.

Everyone followed Zhang Qiang to the riverside. When they saw the large vat and the bamboo basket, they understood what they were going to do.

Sure enough, Zhang Qiang was heard saying, "Pick up the bamboo basket in front of you and draw water for two hours. If you can't finish, you can't participate in the Class Promotion Tournament." The moment Zhang Qiang finished his words, everyone hurriedly picked up their bamboo baskets and started to fetch water. Even those with injured hands didn't care about their injured ones.

"The Cloudsoaring sect really makes people speechless." Lu Chen picked up the bamboo basket and started filling it with water as well.

Two hours later, a number of people failed the promotion competition. Lu Chen was lucky to be able to pass today's work.

"Alright, we'll work together at this time tomorrow morning. Let's go back now." After saying that, Zhang Qiang led everyone back.
