A once-in-a-thousand-years genius?

The disciples who were cultivating in the training field looked over and whispered, "Is he Xiao Ziji from Liyang City's Xiao Family?"

"The super genius who had a supreme-grade Spirit Root at the age of 10 and opened 12 meridians at the age of 12?"

"He was just glorious in the past. Five years ago, his Spirit Root and cultivation level regressed. In the end, he became an ordinary person. Even his fiancée came to the family to break off the engagement."

"The Xiao Family chased him out. There was no news of him since then. I didn't expect him to become a beggar."

The disciples all shook their heads regretfully.

At that time, Xiao Ziji was a famous person in Qingyang County. Even Li Qingyang could not compare to him.

But now?

A super genius had become a good-for-nothing and became like this. It really made people sigh.

Xiao Ziji, who was walking out step by step, heard the crowd's discussion. He said dejectedly, "I'm just a good-for-nothing now. How can I get back everything I lost?"

Li Qingyang still wanted to say something.

"Qingyang."

Jun Changxiao walked out and leaned against Lu Qianqian's position. "He even looks down on himself. It's useless for him to stay in Iron Bone Sect. There's no need to comfort him."

Li Qingyang was silent.

Xiao Ziji continued walking. His back was dispirited and depressed.

"Ta."

He stopped on the stone steps and said without turning around, "Sect Master Jun, thank you for saving me. Xiao Ziji will remember this great kindness."

Jun Changxiao said indifferently, "If I knew that the person I saved looked down on himself, I definitely wouldn't have saved him. I would've even stabbed him and let him die quickly."

Li Qingyang, "…"

Lu Qianqian flipped her black hair and said, "Sect Master's words are quite hurtful."

Xiao Ziji said expressionlessly, "Yes, I shouldn't be alive."

Jun Changxiao pointed outside and said indifferently, "Go out and turn left. There's a cliff. If you want to die, you can jump down. Maybe you'll have a fortuitous encounter and reach the peak of life."

"…"

Everyone's mouth twitched.

When did the Sect Leader become as sharp-tongued as Eldest Senior Sister?

Xiao Ziji smiled bitterly and said, "From the moment I fell from genius to trash, I was destined to not have any more fortuitous encounters or opportunities."

"Fortuitous encounters are for those who are prepared."

"For a guy like you who gives up on himself, even if a pie falls from the sky, it won't fall on your head."

Jun Changxiao said indifferently, "Before you leave, I'll give you a word of advice. There are no innately strong people in this world, only innately strong people. No matter if you're a genius or a piece of trash, if you don't have the heart to be strong, you're just a piece of trash."

There was no such thing as being born strong, only being born strong?

Xiao Ziji's body shook slightly, and his gloomy eyes gradually lit up.

Jun Changxiao crossed his arms in front of his chest and said calmly, "If you have already forgotten why you came to the Iron Bone Clan, then get out of here."

Xiao Ziji remained where he was and did not leave.

Previously at the Hundred Sects' recruitment, he saw the scene of Jun Changxiao giving pointers to the martial artists of various sects at the martial arts practice field, and his gloomy willpower was stimulated.

After a period of struggle, he decided to go to the Iron Bone Clan, hoping to become their disciple and re-cultivate martial arts.

For this, he did not hesitate to go to Huyang City to steal the Ai Clan's pills.

What pills?

Pills that can temporarily increase cultivation.

Xiao Ziji knew that joining the Iron Bone Clan had conditions and restrictions. With his low aptitude and no cultivation, he would definitely be rejected.

Stealing the pills ended in failure. He panicked and fled to this place, but was still caught by the Ai Clan, and inevitably suffered a beating.

What was all this for?

Everything was for the sake of becoming stronger!

Jun Changxiao said, "Your fiancée broke off the engagement, can you bear it?"

Xiao Ziji clenched his fists and bit his lips.

Jun Changxiao said, "Don't you want to become strong again to tell that short-sighted woman, to tell the whole world, thirty years east, thirty years west, don't bully the young for being poor?"

"Don't bully the young for being poor …"

Xiao Ziji's expression was sluggish. His heart felt as if it was stabbed by a sharp knife, piercing through that disheartened heart. His tightly clenched fists gradually loosened, and scarlet blood dripped down from his fingers onto the stone floor.

"Stop talking."

"If you want to get lost, then get lost quickly."

Jun Changxiao said indifferently.

"Plop!"

Xiao Ziji suddenly turned around and knelt heavily on the ground. His cheeks were filled with tears, and he cried out loudly, "Sect Leader Jun, I want to join the Iron Bone Clan, I want to become stronger, I want to get back everything I lost!"

At that moment, all the pain he suffered and his desire to become stronger were released in his cries.

Li Qingyang, Lu Qianqian, and even all the disciples present were looking at Xiao Ziji. No one laughed at the seven feet tall man's cries.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest, you have received 5 sect contribution points."

"Ding!"

"Sect contribution points: 34/100."

"Phew!"

Jun Changxiao heaved a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "I finally let this guy regain his confidence."

It turned out that when Xiao Ziji walked out of the Medical Pavilion, the system issued a side quest. The content was — Let the fallen genius Xiao Ziji regain his confidence in martial arts.

"Qingyang."

Jun Changxiao snapped his fingers and said, "Go through the entry procedures. Remember, ask him to clean up the bloodstains in the outer courtyard."

"Yes!"

Li Qingyang hurried over.

He was full of admiration for the Sect Leader's words just now.

Jun Changxiao looked at the disciples in the martial arts practice field and said in a deep voice, "Remember this in your hearts. There is no such thing as a genius or a trash in this world, and there is no such thing as being born strong. There is only being born strong!"

"Yes!"

All the disciples shouted in unison.

Especially when they thought of what the Sect Leader said just now, "Life is full of ups and downs. Don't bully the young for being poor." The blood in their bodies seemed to be burning.

…

"Gulp, gulp."

In the main hall, Jun Changxiao picked up the teapot and drank. Then, he lay back on the chair and said, "To let an extremely depressed guy regain his confidence in martial arts, I really f * cking admire my eloquence."

The system said at an inappropriate time, "The aptitude of the sect's disciples is generally not high. Now that we have accepted a trash, it will only drag down the sect's development."

Jun Changxiao rested his chin on the back of his hand and said with a smile, "Don't you think that nurturing them into powerhouses is a very fulfilling thing?"

The system was silent.

Jun Changxiao had helped Xiao Ziji regain his confidence in martial arts because of the side quest.

As for accepting him into the sect, it was more out of sympathy. After all, a former genius had become a trash, broken off his engagement, and expelled from his family. It was really too pitiful.

"Sect Leader."

Li Qingyang walked over and handed over the entry form. "Junior Brother Xiao's entry form has been filled out."

Jun Changxiao glanced at it casually and took out the Sect Leader's seal and stamped it.

"Ding!"

"Sect members: 100/100."

"No contribution points?"

"Members have already reached the upper limit. Due to death and expulsion, they will be replaced. There will not be a second contribution points."

"Alright."

Jun Changxiao shook his head.

"Ding!"

"The system has checked that the number of members is full and all disciples are in the sect. Sect mission activated."

Hearing the notification, Jun Changxiao almost vomited blood.

No wonder there were no sect missions. It was because the sect members were dissatisfied and they were not in the sect!

"Shua!"

He hurriedly opened the Strongest Sect System's data panel and saw the sect mission's content — — Sect mission, click to view details.

Jun Changxiao's mind moved and clicked on the details. Immediately, a small data panel appeared with many missions listed on it.

The content was — —

Help Aunt Wang of Qingyang Village clean the courtyard [Recommendation index: ★]

Help Qingyang Village's Aunt Sun remove manure and water the vegetables.

Help the villagers of Qingyang Village write letters [Recommendation index: ★]

Help Xiao Dan of Qingyang Village find the lost Xiaohuang (Recommendation index: ★ ★)

Help the villagers of Qingyang Village get rid of the Earth Flame Wolves that are causing trouble in the village.

… …

There were many more missions, roughly forty to fifty. Jun Changxiao only looked at the first few lines and collapsed on the chair. His mouth twitched: "What kind of bullshit sect missions are these!"
