Chapter 28: Spreading seeds.

As the Group finally made it to the inner court, They looked at where they would be living from now on.

The Flooring were done with what looked like concrete but was much smoother and closer to being marble. There were lots of identical Brick-like buildings painted the same but had different colored runes on various sides.

The houses At the North were purple with intricate White runes while to the South had Brown runes on it's edges and were barely visible.

The eastern parts were the same but had grey runes while the west had Black ones, At the very end of this all were 4 towers that stood firmly at center of each wing.

There 4 people that seemed to be in their late 30's, except for the Lady who seemed as young as 23-25 years old. They Were waiting for them at the Central Square where most gatherings conducted in the Inner Court.

There were three men and a Lady amongst them, They were looking at the approaching Elder Dou Hualun with respect.

[[[[We pay respect to Elder Dou Hualun]]]] The 4 said simultaneously while Dou Hualun simply nodded as he brushed his Beards.

[This are the years batch of seeds this year.]

Shocked by his words, the four people could only stare blankly at the group of teenagers before they turned to the youth that accompanied the Elder.

[This... Seniors, This Yang Qin was as Shocked as you are now but it is indeed as the Elder has said.] Noticing their stares, he had to say something.

Immediately one of the Middle aged men Released an Outburst of Chi as he Bellowed [Ridiculous!!!, those despicable Bastards are going to far!!...they took everything and left us with thi...a few of them don't even have cultivation yet.]

Elder Dou Hualun looked at this fellow and shook his head, while a few of Xu Yun's group frowned at how blunt he was, only Xu Yun and the Twins were unperturbed.

After all they knew it was because of the system that their cultivation won't show, until they acted.

[You guys can pick from this Six, the rest are their attendance. and I'll have you know that, this Boy with the gold Token was chosen specifically by that person.] a Tiny version of Elder Dou Hualun's voice instructed them with Chi as their eyes suddenly lit up.

They all turned towards the Boy in Raggedy clothing at the same time, giving him a big fright. Even Xu Yun and the rest turned to him after this while The Lu Clan kid gnashed his teeth.

[Hmph!...This commoner Trash is stealing my limelight.] though he said this in a low tone through gritted teeth, it was heard by Xu Yun and the Twins. Xu Yun found the situation funny as he remembered those cliché situations from several novels or Manga.

Finally the Man who spoke earlier began speaking again with a bit more arrogance and excessive gestures, [ My dear Brothers and sister, As the Strongest and Eldest I should be allowed to pick the disciples coming under the Northern Wing.]

Hearing this made the remaining Mountain Instructors looked at him with unsightly faces as they watched him walk towards the boy.

"Wang Zhen is as still overly arrogant as he was in game, he he this would be interesting... Instructor Su ling is the best choice on the long run, because She's the one I heard grants the most freedom. Besides she would later become Stronger, Second only to the Sect master." Xu Yun watched the whole process like he was watching a play.

[Wow!! Joyous innate Body!!!] Wang zhen suddenly exclaimed something that made even young master Xu shocked!. this innate Body was a type that had a default of at least 72 Acupoint unlocked, Clearly a favoured Son.

The Lu Clan kid was Stunned, The one he had deemed trash had an innate Body?!!.

"Looking at him now, I remember there was an NPC with that innate body . But I can't seem to get its name despite it just being on the tip of my tongue." Xu Yun thought.

[Haha Heavens!!! a hidden Gem! What's your name, Child?] Wang zhen Excitedly said after he examined the Boy's body with his Chi.

The Boy replied shyly as he wasn't used to this kind of attention, [Senior, this one's name is Ye Ping.]

[!!!!] Xu Yun was finally stunned, Ye ping was the head disciple for wanderer's valley, A complete definition of an arrogant "prick".

Xu Yun just couldn't see how the Two were related, This one was a humble farm Boy while that one was an NPC that if he hadn't been powerful would have long been killed by everybody.

" Hmm, I guess his character changed because of Wang zhen " Xu Yun thought.

Wang zhen began to Gloat, [My new disciple is the perfect candidate for practicing the Secret to Shared Happiness! hehehe] The remaining Instructors looked like they swallowed flies, Dou Hualun simply stood there with his eyes closed so no one knew what he was thinking.

"The Secret to Shared Happiness, wanderer's valley Third Internal inner, This internal makes Perish Blade super awesome and turns you effectively into a tank. Maybe. I don't know anything about its actual implementation but from what can be gathered it gives a crazy amount of lifesteal." Xu Yun smirked, they were not the best PVE for nothing.

"I guess it won't hurt to learn their skills . Plus I need to become head disciple for my Sub quest." Bringing up his Quest Tab to really look closely at his Sub quest.

{A faction can not be built in a day, Become Head disciple and Expand your Influence.

Reward: 1 Lottery ticket, Jade green powder, + 2 in the Host's cultivation realm. 2 Acupoint breaking manual and ????????.} System repeated the last Quest he Received recently.

[yes yes we know Senior Brother Wang zhen, His cultivation would be able to soar quickly. why not let the rest of us pick our disciple.] Su Ling said sarcastically while the others simply nodded.

Wang zhen gave her a disdainful glance and said to Them [I'll now be Picking my second disciple, I mean it's not like your strength is powerful enough for handle more than one disciples. in fact I would have taken all if it weren't for the Sect's rules].

[You!] Su ling was so angry that she didn't know how to retort. According to What he said, it wasn't a lie, only those at the Shock the World realm and above could boost more than one disciple within the Thousand Moon Array.

And the 3 of them were at the Unrivaled Realm.

She had uttered the words in anger, forgetting this one detail.

Zheng Yuan, however, snorted and disputed Wang zhen's words, [Although we don't have the ability to handle it, it doesn't mean you can just go about doing as you please, we have the right to propose and insist on you not taking any more disciples today. Moreover, us teachers Should have allowed the Students choose their masters.]

After Zheng Yuan had said his piece, a bright light shone from his Body as all Three teachers released Their Chi .

The pressure surrounding the area suddenly felt like a mountain was being pressed down on The group, luckily Elder Dou Hualun used his Chi to cloak them, making things bearable once more.

A Massive White Chi immediately erupted from Wang Zhen as he fought against their Chi.

"No wonder, he was being loud and overbearing, He's on the Verge of another breakthrough" Dou Hualun finally opened his eyes and muttered.

He didn't say anything, after all, this was the way of Wanderer's valley. Only the Victor sets the rules.

Zheng Yuan immediately after releasing his Chi, his body became covered with a layer of Brown armor and he struck out at Wang Zhen.

Zheng Yuan's strike was powerful enough to kill A Cultivator of the same realm or crippled the person even if he escaped death.

Facing this, Wang Zhen became even colder, and his words slowly came out, [Hmph, Trying to take advantage of this to kill me?? You Wish!!].

He released even more amount of White Chi and formed Two Blades, Waving both in a Wide Arc, meeting the opponent straight on as he sent out Strong wind Energy.

Whooosh!!

Bang!!!

the other two teachers were Knocked back immediately as they made huge cracks on the now fallen House.

"Boom!"

Wild Chi blasts resounded as Zheng Yuan and Wang Zhen's attack collided, and Zheng Yuan was seen staggering backward; the Brown armor protecting him dimmed considerably.

[It's not over yet!!] Zheng Yuan was not really surprised as he looked at Wang Zhen. Earlier, what Wang Zhen revealed was early stage Shock the world cultivation Realm which led Zheng Yuan to think he could take him as a pseudo Shock the world . Never would he have imagined that Wang Zhen would have broken through to a middle stage Shock the world! and was on the Verge of another breakthrough.

Wang Zhen disregarded Zheng Yuan's expression and flickered in front of him in a blink of an eye, and struck again: "Corroding poison palm!"

A Greenish palm print pierced through across the short distance as the space around it cracked from the force.

Face full of fear, Zheng Yuan gritted his teeth, and ruthlessness gleamed in his eyes, as he knew the strike was homing on him, he unsheathed his twin daggers and used a Wanderer's valley martial skill From Perish Blade <The Plague God's Wrath>

(A/N: A poisonous ailment explodes in the Direction of the enemy, This maneuver fills you with bloodlust, increasing the power of your Perish Blade by 100%, each stroke drawing rivers of blood. Thereafter, when you execute The Spirit Leaves the Body double sting movement you will obtain the Enhanced Endurance state.)

He took rapid steps back as he made some hand gestures like he was sucking in air until he released it all with a BANG!! before he Charges through the Greenish Palm in the air, using the poison to enrich his.

[Bastard!!] Wang Zhen cussed As a White light burst out from his palm forming a poisonous fog in other to welcome on Zheng Yuan.

The surrounding Area exuded a strong eerie atmosphere, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.

Zheng Yuan's Twin daggers collided with Wang Zhen's fist.

"Boom!"

In the collision, Sparks continuously flew around within the Fog as the surrounding emitted Pulsions of sounds that exploded in the air. The strong wave of impact shook and repelled Zheng Yuan.

Wang Zhen too staggered back. His hands were Numb as it constantly shook and everything vanished from his sight, leaving only The Staggering Zheng Yuan.

While Zheng Yuan staggered, his attention was on Wang Zhen and when he noticed Wang Zhen's hesitation, a cold sneer appeared on his face.

[What?? can't take it anymore?? I have reached the advanced stage of Perish Blades, Which is why my Cultivation had been on hold for a While now.] Zheng Yuan taunted, making Wang Zhen grit his teeth.

A cruel glint flashed across Zheng Yuan's eyes without wasting any time, Zheng Yuan flew at Wang Zhen as he used another skill from Perish Blade, His twin dagger lead his charge.

<Shura rots the bones!!>

(stab your enemy once, release poison force, and erode enemies in front of you)

Brown poison Chi swirled fiercely around Zheng Yuan's Body, before creating an after image as he inched closer to Wang Zhen.

Suddenly, A sharp light flickered in Wang Zhen's eyes. The White Chi blades from earlier appeared right above where Zheng Yuan was going to land and Smashed down with a powerful momentum making the Surrounding air more Turbulent.

"Zheng Yuan is too dangerous for my plans, I need to end him here and now."

[You're not the only one who has gotten to the advanced stages of a skill. Have a taste of Lightning Speed Strike!]

(Description Your blade's energy is like the wind, and its smashing strike sends enemies flying as Your chi is like searing lightning through the air, cutting through those within an area of effect and banning enemies under the Shocked state from using movements for a short period and causing them to endure additional hard damage.)

Wang Zhen had a condescending sneer on his face as the Chi Blades suddenly enhanced by 7 times its strength, splintering Zheng Yuan's incoming attack.

Zheng Yuan screamed, as the Chi tore through his chi armor and his body was hurled off more than ten meters away, crashing down onto the square.

The students who were crowding up to watch had already fled far away in all four directions seeing Zheng Yuan being defeated by Wang Zhen before their eyes. All of them were silent as some people seemed to have gained enlightenment from both fighters while others were plain scared out of their wits.

Lin xiao and Su ling's heart trembled witnessing this scene.

Su Ling was more shocked by the power behind this two people's attacks.

Nearby, Xu Yun who was watching the fighting Duo simply shook his head at Zheng Yuan's pitiful appearance.

"Doesn't this fool know of self preservation? just because he got little success in Perish Blade, he felt he could win. Besides Perish Blade is a PVE Set, it works well only against stupid monsters, rarely does it work well in PvP. Maybe his mother dropped him as a Kid" Xu Yun Thought, Meanwhile the rest were stunned.

More than ten meters away, Zheng Yuan trembled as he crawled up, eyes widened with Rage as he stared at Wang Zhen.

And at this point, from a distance away, a dozen or so figures flew over, with the wind whistling behind them as their auras burst out, overwhelming those on the square.

Xu Yun turned around and saw a dozen figures flying over and his vision narrowed.

Sect master finally arrived!, Xu Yun attention fell on the person with the strongest aura.

originated from a 40 something years old man.

Xu Yun was a little surprised by how healthy he looked, but when he used his system to scan him, he knew the man only looked healthy on the outside.

By this time, everyone had stopped talking.

The Sect master took a look around and saw the heavily injured Zheng Yuan, he asked with a Stoic expression, [Why are you still there?? aren't even Embarrassed?.]

Zheng Yuan had yet to open his mouth when Wang Zhen said, [Sect Master, this waste wants to drag disciples with me.

[Sect Master, I merely asked that he allowed the new seeds choose who to follow. but he plainly refused.] Zheng Yuan interrupted at this point, looking at Wang Zhen with visible hatred.

Clearly not bothered by their explanations, he simply waved his hands as Chi lifted Xu Yun's group and setting them to land before each Master.

The Lu Clan kid ended up with Lin xiao as he expressed his dissatisfaction with his eyes but the sect Master couldn't be bothered with a child throwing a tantrum.

The Two girls ended up with Zheng Yuan but they didn't seem bothered by it, and they also had some interest in the Twin daggers.

Ye ping ended up with Wang Zhen just as before which made the latter sigh in relief.

The Girl with the jade Pin and Xu Yun ended up with Su Ling, which made the latter happy that she got two new disciples.

And of course Xu Yun was the happiest because he knew how powerful Su Ling would be in the future, which would help him complete his Quest.
