Chapter 12 - Duan Rong (I)

Chapter 12 - Duan Rong (I)

Sun Kang who could naturally understand what was happening, as he wasn't a naive Outer disciple of the sect, but a previously fearsome and formidable expert of the Ancestral Law God stage that had the power to summon rain and winds in every Major Planet that he will find himself in, only broke a slight smile in his face.

'Well, I will absolutely need his help. The cultivation resources and battle techniques that will be supplied to me will help me grow past a certain stage.'

'Besides, I definitely need all the cultivation items I can get to develop quickly and return back to the Blessed Tyrant Planet very soon."

"And as for that evil old bastard, Gao Xue, I will definitely wipe him off and the damned ancient clan that he came from, including all the vassal forces under them.'

'Hmph! I will take all their lives and wealths as compensation for the tremendous losses that he caused me, and for the sorrow that he brought upon those related to me."

"Besides, I must obtain that pagoda-shaped treasure that he used in destroying my exceedingly tough body in an instant. I still wonder what level of power that fearsome treasure is at. If I can have that along with the other long-lost ancient treasures that I had previously gathered from many dangerous quests, my way to the throne that those domineering Deity-like beings sit and look down upon all as ants should be smoother.'

'As for my family and sworn brothers and sisters, I wonder what's happening to them now. They should please keep themselves safe till I return.' Sun Kang said within himself as wrath and melancholy brimmed within his heart.

But the emotions churning within his heart didn't reflect on his face that only maintained a faked curious look as the elder shot away with him to the large residence of the Outer Court Disciples.

Once they arrived at the Outer Court Disciples residence, an enormous but normal-looking building that could easily contain tens of thousands of people and still have much more space to keep tons of massive objects heaped around, the elder said seriously and with a booming loud voice to Sun Kang when they landed softly to the ground, "As from now on, you are under me. I will be the elder in charge of your cultivation resources supplies. And because of your direct relationship with me, you can now have this authority medallion to use the Inner Disciples library, and the special training spaces at the Battle Hall."

Immediately the elder said that, he performed a flicking motion with his index finger. Then a pencil-sized ray of light shot out from his sleeve towards Sun Kang who immediately caught the object that was shooting towards him as a tiny stream of light.

Then when he looked at what he had caught in his palm, he could see a bronze medallion that had the bold inscription of the sect's name written on it, and then the initials of the elder, G. L., which stood for Guo Lin, written with a special handwriting below it.

"Thank you very much, elder." Sun Kang who wore a faked excited expression on his face, said and performed a deep bow towards the elder.

"Now, go wipe off this blood on you and change into a new uniform." Elder Guo Lin instructed.

Then he shot into the air and flew away to return to his room. He was really excited about Sun Kang and was greatly determined to spare no effort and cost in nurturing him into a brilliant genius that will bring him praises and benefits when the time was right.

Other disciples that were around and saw all that happened, couldn't help but furrow their brows in both shock and amazement.

"What the hell just happened?"

"Did that elder just give Hu Cheng an authority medallion? Like really? What wicked luck fell on that bastard for the elder to treat him better than us who are way more stronger and capable than he is?

"Hu Cheng who is basically a nothing could have an authority medallion given to him? Well, that's good news for me. Because I am going to hit him and bash him until he delivers that medallion in my hands, and with a deep bow filled with both fear and reverence for me."

"Haha. The Heavens just blessed me today. I am definitely going to collect the elder's medallion from that pitiful worm called Hu Cheng. And yea, none of you bastards should come at me for it. That elder's bronze medallion is mine!"

Just like that, excited and thankful voices began to ring out from everywhere in the Outer Court Disciples residence. While Sun Kang who heard their intensifying cries of both elation and excitement, simply because of the medallion that was given to him by Elder Guo Lin, had his gaze turn sharp immediately. Also, his hands began to itch for a battle with anyone of them that will come up to challenge him.

But, he didn't take action just yet, as he needed to understand something.

"Hope you guys know that this was personally given to me by an elder? If you collect it from me, aren't you spitting in that elder's face?"

"Do you want to be severely punished because of your judgements that has been clouded by your greed for the medallion in my hand?" Sun Kang calmly asked.

"Shut up, Hu Cheng! How dare this little squirming worm question us? If you have the strength to keep it, then it's all yours. If not, you weren't deserving of the elder's medallion in the first place."

"Besides, it's a rule of this sect for disciples to fight over anything given to them by an elder. Have you really forgotten? I won't blame you anyways. Your memory is just as useless as you."

"Now, if you like yourself, kowtow before me thirty times for making me waste my time explaining things to you. Then come forward to deliver the medal in your hands like the ant that you are." A disciple called Duan Rong, a body Cultivator at the fifth-layer, Common Law Warrior stage, said with excessive pride and ignorance in his tone. Besides, the gaze that he used to look at Sun Kang made Sun Kang feel like he was truly nothing before him.

"I see." Sun Kang said with the slight nod of his head.

'That elder must have intentionally done that to attract the gazes and greed of the Outer Court disciples towards me. Hmm. Maybe he did that to announce the emergence of a new genius from the sect's Outer Court.'

'Then after defeating all the disciples that will face me in a one-on-one battle, I may become more relevant as the Inner Court elders and even the Core Elders of the sect might start to pay a little more attention to me.'

'After all, who wouldn't love, value and cherish the appearance of one more genius at their sect, even if they have over a hundred of them?'

'Let me give them a beautiful show to watch then, since I need to be looked at in a new light and have dozens of cultivation items voluntarily given to me by the other elders to hasten my growth.'
