Eternal Sovereign

"I heard Junior Sister mention it before. You seem to want to fight for the direct disciples of the Mysterious Shadows Sect? With your little bit of strength, you should just give up. " Miao Boguang's tone was one of contempt.

Du Ru Jiao and Du Rui both ran over to Du Yangpeng's side. Seeing how Du Yangpeng was still in a state of shock, the two of them were overwhelmed with shock. This was the first time they saw their big brother show such an expression.

Even if he had lost to Chen Jinghe, he would not have suffered such a blow.

Lu Manling frowned, "Senior Brother, you've gone too far. Moreover, you're a veteran with only seven meridians. It's normal for you to win."

Miao Boguang chuckled. "It was this kid who took the initiative to spar with me. What does that have to do with me?"

"I have already shown mercy. This kid has at least satisfied the requirements of the inner court disciples, giving him five slots is not a waste."

Du Rujiao and Du Rui's expressions changed. Big brother is such a genius, yet he only meets the requirements of the inner court disciples?

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Miao Boguang couldn't help but laugh. "Seating yourself in a well to look at the sky … aren't you taking us too seriously? Aren't you looking down too much on us, the Mysterious Shadows Sect?"

"Don't think that just because all of you are outstanding in this remote and small place, you think that you are extraordinary."

"Honestly speaking, even if your town has a small cultivation cycle of less than twenty years old, do not think that you can easily obtain the position of a direct disciple."

Even though the Mysterious Shadows Sect was only considered a second-rate sect in the Misty Cloud County, the standards for their direct disciples were still very strict.

Reaching the Small Circle of Martial Arts before the age of twenty was only one of the standards.

Talent in martial arts was one of the criteria.

Next, there was the quality of his true qi and a series of other requirements.

Even if one didn't seek for zhenqi quality to reach half-a-step into the upper tier, one would still need to be at least at the pinnacle of middle tier.

However …

Miao Boyang said indifferently, "Your name is Du Yangpeng, right? I suggest that you temper your true qi. "

"I can see that although you've consumed a small amount of medicinal pills, it's not a small amount. Your body has already accumulated some Pill Poison."

"Right now, this pill poison does not seem to have any effect, and it is also the easiest to remove. I suggest that you remove this pill poison before advancing to the Small Circle of Refinement."

"This way, after advancing to the Small Revitalization Realm, your foundation will be even stronger, saving you time while also not affecting the quality of your zhenqi."

"The quality of your zhenqi right now can only be considered high quality. If you ignore future troubles and break through to the Small Circulation Realm, your true qi quality could very well fall down to medium quality."

"One must know that the higher the cultivation of a martial artist, the harder it is for the quality of their true qi to improve."

"After you have been promoted to the Small Circle of Qi, it will be quite difficult for you to raise the quality of your zhen qi to the peak of the middle tier unless you can practice a quasi-Earth tier power technique and reach a higher level."

"In addition, your movement technique is also too weak. I believe that the movement technique you practice is either of low level or you don't pay much attention to it." Secondly, your battle experience is also very ordinary, perhaps because you are one of the top young people in the town, resulting in you not having a suitable opponent. "

"However, direct disciples of the Profound Imagery Sect like us are often in battles with strong experts. Unless we are in dire straits or on the verge of death, our dao protectors will not show themselves at all."

He did not expect that the standards for the direct disciples of the Profound Imagery Sect would be so strict, and not be able to become a direct disciple under the age of twenty with the ability to reach the Small Circle of Revolving Core.

Rather than calling it the difference in speed, it would be more accurate to call it the difference in movement techniques.

Du Yangpeng trained in high-grade Mortal Realm offensive martial arts, but that was only one. The few offensive martial arts he trained in were all mid-grade Mortal Realm.

His technique, was also the middle tier human level.

It wasn't that Du Yangpeng didn't want to practice the high-grade Mortal Realm movement technique, but just that high-grade Mortal Realm offensive martial art alone was enough to consume too much of Du Yangpeng's energy. Du Yangpeng truly did not have the energy to cultivate the high-grade Mortal Realm movement technique.

Thus, he could only train in medium-grade human-step techniques.

And this middle tier Mortal Realm movement technique was only halfway between the Large Success and Peak Rank.

As for Miao Boguang, his speed was extremely fast. He was definitely practicing a high-grade Mortal Realm movement technique. Furthermore, he had at least reached the advanced stage.

This was the second criterion for a direct disciple of the Profound Imagery Sect.

Before the age of twenty, one had to learn five high-grade Mortal Realm martial arts, or even five above. Furthermore, one had to be able to reach the level of mastery in all of them.

Du Yangpeng had only learned a high-grade Mortal Realm martial art, and this one was only at the small success stage.

"The direct disciple of the Mysterious Shadows Sect is actually this strong!" Upon hearing the second criterion, Du Rujiao and Du Rui sucked in a breath.

They looked at each other and revealed bitter smiles. They had taken this for granted.

As for the third criterion, it was naturally the quality of his zhenqi, which was at least at the peak of middle level.

There were other criteria, such as the awakening of a special bloodline, which would increase one's score. If one's bloodline was strong enough, then even if the three main criteria were not met, they could still become a direct disciple.

However, such a standard was not necessary, so there was no harm in it.

Even so, the three standards of being a direct disciple of the Profound Imagery Sect made Du Yangpeng and the other two realize how weak and insignificant they were.

The direct disciples of the Mysterious Shadows Sect, who were also in the Small Circle of the Refinement Realm, could probably instantly take out the ordinary Small Circle of the martial world.

The same level of martial dao, but the battle prowess was as different as heaven and earth.

In terms of battle experience, Du Yangpeng thought he was pretty good before, but now he truly felt the difference between him and a true genius.

Perhaps, it was time for him to leave Yongde Town.

In Yongde Town, his opponents were only Chen Jinghe and Zhang Tian of the Zhang family. Strictly speaking, only Chen Jinghe was his opponent.

Zhang Tian's standards were only on the same level as Du Rujiao.

In the daily battles, most of the people of the same age as the Du Clan were completely crushed. How much of a tempering effect would this battle have on him?

"No meaning, no meaning." Miao Bguang shook his head. "I thought I'd run into a genius I couldn't discover, but …"

"Chen Jinghe from the Chen family. It's just a small circle, so it can't be considered bad, right?" Du Rui couldn't help but ask.

"Oh? "Your town still has a little Circulatory Cycle Revolution under the age of twenty?" Miao Boguang's interest was piqued. Although he was still far from being able to reach the Small Circle of Revolving Core at the age of sixteen, the environment in which both sides grew up was different.

As long as Lin Ming didn't rely on pills to break through, then just the fact that Lin Ming had to rely on his own cultivation to reach the Small Circle of Revolving Core at the age of 20 was enough for him to be included in the list of direct disciples.

Of course, that was only to be added later on.

"Elder sister Ru Jiao, didn't you say that you would give me a present?" Lu Manling smiled.

Du Rujiao came back to her senses and forcefully smiled, "Mm, the gift is in elder sister's room. Come with me." After knowing the three main standards of being a direct disciple, how could Du Rujiao be happy about it now? This was far from what they had originally thought it would be.

Originally, they thought that since they were considered top geniuses in this small town, the direct disciples of the Profound Imagery Sect would look up to them a little, and might even marvel at their talents.

But as it turned out, they were overthinking things.

Their goal before was to become the direct disciple of the Profound Imagery Sect, but now they realized that they had only barely reached the qualifications to become inner court disciples.

Such a disparity left them extremely disappointed.

One had to know that the treatment a direct disciple of the Profound Imagery Sect was receiving was far beyond that of an inner court disciple.

The direct disciples of the Mysterious Shadows Sect enjoyed the best resources (such as spirit spring water), the best guidance (personally taught by a Xiantian master), and the best environment.

The treatment of inner court disciples was far inferior to that of direct disciples.

All these years, only the direct disciples of the Mysterious Shadows Sect were able to reach the Innate Realm.

However, even though she was disappointed, Du Rujiao knew that the most important thing right now was to welcome Lu Manling and Miao Boguang.

If he couldn't become a direct disciple, then at least he would become an inner court disciple.

It was better than wasting his life in a small town. Even if he died in such a small town, it would be difficult to reach the Xiantian realm.

If Lu Manling and Lu Li were to leave because of their poor hospitality, it would be impossible for them to even become inner disciples.

Du Yang Peng was injured, so he went to the healing room of the clan. The task of taking care of Miao Bo Guang naturally fell to Du Rui. Du Rui trembled all the way, afraid of arousing Miao Bo Guang's displeasure.

Lu Manling skipped and skipped all the way, happily holding Du Rujiao's arm as she entered Du Rujiao's room.

Du Rujiao gathered her thoughts and solemnly took out a long box. Opening it, a thin and soft longsword appeared in front of Lu Manling.
