After Dong-Kuang had accomplished the closing of the cultivation stage, he came out to organize the new disciples himself. This caused both the new and old disciples to become excited and enthusiastic because the sectmaster was the one who organized the disciple promotion by himself.
At that time, all of them were complaining that the period had stretched longer than a month, as Zheng-Fu had told them. But when they saw Dong-Kuang, the previous dissatisfied expressions had disappeared. And, of course, the promotion examination this time would not be like the previous ones.
Previously, if only their energy level had reached the threshold, they could pass the tests and advance in their disciple ranks. But for this examination, Zheng-Fu had already set new rules for Dong-Kuang. The seven thousand incoming new disciples, plus over six hundred old servant disciples, were able to be promoted to outer disciples as long as they passed the three tests that the sect had set.
