I Can Obtain Attributes From the Aftermath of Battles - Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Failed Before The Plan Even Started

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A day passed quickly.

Through today’s understanding, Chen Mu roughly understood the structure of the entire Azure Yang Sect.

As soon as a disciple entered the Azure Yang Sect, they immediately became Outer Sect disciples. They all stayed in the Outer Sect to cultivate on the Immortal Seeking Peak.

After that, there would be an annual Outer Sect Competition.

The top 20% entered the Inner Sect, the bottom 20% became servant disciples, and the middle 60% remained in the Outer Sect.

The Inner Sect was divided into five branches: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Each of the five occupied a peak. After becoming an Inner Sect disciple, they would usually choose to join one of the five factions according to their spiritual root attribute.

As for servant disciples, as the name suggested, they were in charge of miscellaneous chores in the Azure Yang Sect. They were responsible for planting spiritual herbs, mining spiritual ores, and taking care of spiritual beasts.

If the chores were done well, they could stay in the Azure Yang Sect forever.

If they did not do well, they could leave the Azure Yang Sect.

Every year, there would be a competition between the servant disciples, and the top 20% would be promoted to Outer Sect disciples.

Above the servant disciples, Outer and Inner Sect disciples, there were core disciples.

After an Inner Sect disciple joined the five factions, if they were lucky enough to receive the recognition of the five elders and be accepted as a disciple by them, they would be considered a core disciple.

There was a ranking battle between core disciples every year.

The first ranking person would become the sect’s Eldest Senior Brother, and so on and so forth.

Regardless of whether they were servant disciples or core disciples, as long as they belonged to the Azure Yang Sect, resources would be given out every month.

The higher the rank of a disciple, the more resources they would receive.

Of course, there were also age restrictions for disciples.

The limit of the Azure Yang Sect was 40 years old.

Outer Sect disciples who had yet to be promoted to Inner Sect at the age of 40 were basically sent to the mortal world to take care of some mundane affairs.

When Inner Sect disciples reached 40 years old, those with higher cultivation levels could become the sect’s deacons. Those with lower cultivation levels would also be dispatched elsewhere.

When a core disciple reached the age of 40 and had a certain level of cultivation, they would become a sect elder.

…

In short, the internal structure of the Azure Yang Sect, as a sect that had existed for a thousand years, was very reasonable.

The strong would rise and the weak would fall, everything was in order.

According to Chen Mu’s understanding, the current Azure Yang Sect had more than 2,000 people.

There were more than 500 servant disciples, 800 Outer Sect disciples, over 500 Inner Sect disciples, and less than 200 core disciples, deacons, and elders combined.

…

“All new disciples, gather and prepare to participate in the Entrance Competition!” At this moment, the deacon outside called out.

Chen Mu did not dare to be slow. He quickly packed up and walked out of the room, preparing to welcome the upcoming Entrance Competition.

More and more new disciples gathered in the courtyard. Soon, they were divided into two factions.

One group was led by the Young City Lord whom he had met in Flying Bull City. There were more than a hundred people.

The other faction was led by a tall and burly youth who was as strong as a bull. There were only twenty people.

Although there were fewer people on the burly teenager’s side, all of them had arrogant and overbearing expressions. It was as though they did not think much of the other party.

Chen Mu could roughly guess their origins.

Most of these twenty people were relatives of sect elders or deacons…

All of them already had cultivation levels, so they were naturally arrogant.

As for the other hundred people, they were the normal disciples that entered the sect.

Of course, those who knew about the Azure Yang Sect and had the qualifications to enter the sect had some background.

Even though they could not compare to those second generation immortals, there were still some who had cultivation levels.

For example, the Young City Lord.

Seeing that the two sides were in a confrontation, Chen Mu was in a difficult position.

He was a day late, and no one knew him. Where could he stand?

Before he could come up with a plan, Zhou Jinglei walked to his side and stopped.

Chen Mu glanced at him, and so did he.

The two of them looked at each other and could only stay where they were as a faction of their own.

The late faction.

Quite a number of people from the two groups turned to look at Chen Mu and Zhou Jinglei. Seeing that the two of them had extraordinary auras, they frowned slightly and tried to guess their origins.

…

Seeing that everyone was present, the deacon walked to the middle of the three groups and said with a smile, “Is everyone here? There’s no need to be nervous.”

“The purpose of this Entrance Competition is to let everyone understand the difference between each other. After officially entering the sect, you will have more motivation to cultivate. The true impact is actually not that great…”

Speaking up to this point, the words of the deacon suddenly changed!

“But since it’s a grand competition, there must be some stakes.”

“Just like the previous years, the champion of the tournament will be rewarded with 200 low-grade spirit stones!”

“Second place will get 100 low-grade spirit stones!”

“Third and fourth place will be rewarded with 50 low-grade spirit stones each!”

“The competition uses the rule of one-on-one elimination.”

“Now, disciples with the number 61 and below, come to my place to draw lots! Choose your opponent in the first round!”

Hearing this, the group of new disciples began to discuss in low voices.

If Outer Sect disciples did not do sect missions, their monthly allowance would only be 10 low-grade spirit stones!

If he could get first place in this competition, he would receive 200 low-grade spirit stones, equivalent to 20 months of allowance!

This was basically two years!

How could this not be tempting?

However, most of the people had their own estimates.

They definitely could not get the spirit stones.

Therefore, most of the people in the crowd had looks of envy on their faces. Only a few of them had bright lights flickering in their eyes.

…

Chen Mu’s expression was rather calm when he heard that.

Actually, after he found out about the Entrance Competition, he did not expect to obtain any shocking results in the competition.

After all, the Sect Leader had said that many of the new disciples were relatives of the elders and deacons. These people already had cultivation levels.

He was definitely no match for these people.

To him, the biggest use of this Entrance Competition was to let the Little Assistant absorb some attributes.

…

However, as the drawing of lots began, the atmosphere became more and more lively.

Some were happy, some were sad, and some were beating their chests and stamping their feet.

Chen Mu’s heart began to race under the enthusiastic atmosphere.

After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he was not completely hopeless.

This time, there were a total of 122 new disciples. Among them, there were at most 30-40 with cultivation.

Although he could not defeat those with cultivation, he could definitely defeat the others, right?

In other words, as long as nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to enter the second round.

The second round would have 61 people…

In other words, there would definitely be one person who skipped the round.

If he did not have a match, he could directly enter the third round!

The third round would have 31 people…

There was going to be another person who could skip the round!

He would go through again!

At that point, he would be in the top 16!

It was entirely possible to fight against a lucky person without cultivation during the top 16 match!

After that. he would successfully enter the top eight!

At this moment, he would have only fought two battles and his condition would still be very good. On the other hand, his opponent would have already fought four consecutive battles and might even be injured.

Even if he had that little bit of cultivation, Chen Mu still had the confidence to win!

At this time, he would successfully enter the top four!

Chen Mu was a pragmatic person. If the future was a little unrealistic, he would not think too much about it.

He would get 50 low-grade spirit stones from this competition!

He was already very satisfied with this!

But how should he spend these 50 spirit stones?

He would save the spirit stones and accumulate 100 in total to upgrade his Little Assistant.

Mm, that’s the plan!

The plan would work!

Thinking up to this point, his eyes lit up and his entire body was filled with fighting spirit!

He wanted to meet his first opponent in his best condition!

At this moment, the drawing of lots finally ended.

Not far away, an extremely powerful voice rang out!

“Who is No. 122, Chen Mu!?”

Chen Mu looked over sharply when he heard the voice.

The one who spoke was surprisingly the burly youth leading the second generation immortals!

They were matched together?

Ah!

This!

Chen Mu’s expression changed instantly. It was as if he had been splashed with a bucket of cold water. His fighting spirit instantly vanished.

What followed was endless sorrow.

His analysis was impeccable.

Unexpectedly, he had just taken the first step… when it already ended up in failure.
