In a courtyard of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Inner Sect, Qin Xiaoyao lifted his teacup and took a small sip, appearing calm and indifferent, as if nothing could faze him. Beside him stood a young man, his face marked with respect, who slowly spoke up.
"Master, Yun Fan has killed several Outer Sect Disciples in the Sect. To evade capture by the Enforcement Hall, he participated in the Core Disciple Assessment. Who would have thought that he actually passed the assessment and became a Core Disciple?"
As Qin Xiaoyao continued to sip his tea, his hand trembled slightly, and his calm expression suddenly revealed shock. It seemed he could hardly believe it. He was well aware of Yun Fan; they had both entered the Sect together for the assessment. That young man had annihilated a horde of beasts, earning first place in points. At that time, his cultivation was only at the eighth level of True Essence Realm. Now, after half a year in the Sect, breaking through to Xuan Yuan Realm was already considered heavenly talent.
How could he possibly defeat three energy avatars at the ninth level of Xuan Yuan Realm? This news must be false. After all, Qin Xiaoyao had demonstrated exceptional talent and cultivation since arriving at the Sect, rapidly advancing to the fifth level of Xuan Yuan Realm in just six months. Even so, he had no confidence that he could pass the Core Disciple Assessment.
Seeing his master filled with disbelief and shock, the young man sighed inwardly. The performance of Yun Fan was indeed terrifying; there was no denying it. The fact that he had become a Core Disciple had already spread throughout the Heavenly Sword Sect.
After some hesitation, he spoke again. "Master, this matter is absolutely true. Yun Fan has already received his Core Disciple Identity Token, and the Enforcement Hall has not imposed any punishment on him."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyao's face remained filled with tremors; his eyes flickered with light. Though he found it hard to believe, he had no choice but to accept this reality. He sighed softly; after all, he had underestimated the heroes of the world.
He had thought that with his noble background and exceptional cultivation talent, he would surely stand out upon entering the Heavenly Sword Sect and look down upon others. Now he realized that there were always mountains higher than his own. The Sect's top heavenly talent, Mo Wuhen, had already instilled fear in him.
Now another Yun Fan had emerged, showcasing extraordinary potential. These two individuals possessed cultivation talents that were not inferior to his own and might even surpass him.
Having come to this realization, determination shone in Qin Xiaoyao's eyes; there was no trace of despair within him. He vowed not to be outdone by them and resolved to cultivate diligently.
"Please leave now; I need to train," came his calm voice.
The young man quickly bowed deeply upon hearing this and promptly withdrew.
In his heart, he knew that his son must have suffered a blow. After all, he had grown up in luxury, surrounded by countless resources for cultivation, and had looked down on his peers from a young age. Yet now, upon arriving at the Heavenly Sword Sect, he faced significant setbacks.
However, it was also a good thing that his son could set aside some of his previous arrogance and focus on cultivating and growing.
At a small peak within the Heavenly Sword Sect, in the courtyard of a hall, Li Qingyang sat in the main seat, his expression dark as he glanced at Yan Zhenqing beside him. His voice carried an unkind tone.
"It's all your fault that the elder was reprimanded in front of everyone. You've also offended Yun Fan. Once he grows stronger and becomes a high-ranking figure in the Sect, I’ll find it difficult to move within the Heavenly Sword Sect. You've truly brought me trouble."
Hearing this harsh tone, Yan Zhenqing furrowed his brows slightly. He never expected that Yun Fan would pass the Core Disciple Assessment and become a Core Disciple. Not only did this allow him to escape with his life, but it also elevated his status within the Heavenly Sword Sect to a level that was no longer inferior to that of an ordinary elder.
