The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 17: Sect Structure

In a sect led by a patriarch or matriarch, it is this patriarch or matriarch who will take control of all the rules that exist in the sect.

After that there are called elders, elders in a sect the number is different depending on how big the sect is, it is this elder who will later supervise the entire course of his sect activities and be accountable to the patriarch or matriak.

The sect elder also had subordinates that is, the vice-chairman of the sect who would assist the elder in performing each of his duties.

Then for each sect disciple in divided into three i.e., special disciple or core disciple, inner disciple and outer disciple.

Special disciples or core disciples were direct upbringing disciples of sect leaders for example, direct disciples of patriarchs or matriarchs, sect elders and vice elders of sects.

Special students should only be taught by their teachers. Usually, special disciples are genius and talented students who are chosen by the sect leader to be made disciples.

Inner disciples were disciples who were trained by the seniors in the sect, inner disciples usually had decent abilities and who won the inner disciple entrance examination. Inner disciples were also given the opportunity to be able to learn high-level sciences belonging to the sect.

While the outer students are students who will only take training provided four times a week. This disciple was the student who lost in taking the inner disciple exam so that he became an outer disciple.

The Red Tiger Sect was a big sect of the white stream, this sect had stood since thousands of years ago. Now that the Red Tiger Sect was led by patriarch Chen Tao, the patriarchal practice of Chen Tao had been at the level of a legendary cultivator at the age of just 500 years.

"The two of you will be representatives of the Red Tiger Sect at the young cultivator tournament later." A man who still looked young and dashing spoke up, he was Fang's elder. The Red Tiger Sect Elders.

"Each sect is obliged to send three disciples to participate, to complete the number, the patriarch and some sect elders have agreed to include Qin Fanfan as the third representative." Elder Fang delivered the results of their meeting.

"Both our teachers will win this tournament" they said together with confidence.

They were Liu Changhai and Liu Xingsheng, twin brothers of the Liu noble family. The seventeen-year-old youth was a sect genius, they were raised to a special disciple by elder Fang besides being talented was because they had a rare lightning element.

The element consists of six i.e., the elements of lightning, water, air, earth, fire and trees. Every human being can have one or two elements, but there are also those that have all six elements.

In the case that Liu Changhai and Liu Xingsheng had that is, they had a rare lightning element, this element was stronger and purer than the lightning element in his general.

"Teachers will focus your training in the art of fighting every day, teachers feel that it is necessary at the level of you only fighting experience." elder Fang began to set up protective formations for Liu Changhai and Liu Xingsheng to minimize the impact of their fight.

The Liu twins entered the formation and prepared themselves. After elder Fang gave out the cue they started to emit huge qi to suppress the opponent.

"Dance of the lightning dragon."

At the beginning of the match Liu Changhai took out his best form, a light blue dragon shadow started to come out around Liu Changhai's five-meter-long body, the dragon surrounded by lightning had beautiful blue eyes, the deadly beauty was probably the word that was appropriate for the dragon Liu Changhai.

Not to be outdone, Liu Xingsheng also brought out his best moves

"The wolf takes away life."

A large wolf shadow came out on top of his head, the wolf was also filled with lightning that was burning as if anything that touched it would be burned to the ground by the lightning sting.

Liu Changhai and Liu Xingsheng exchanged dozens of moves, they looked balanced, no one had been able to injure each other yet.

"The second stage lightning dragon dance." Liu Changhai's dragon turned huge, its originally blue-colored eyes began to redden.

"Lumayan, but it's not just you that's improving." Liu Xingsheng smiled obliquely.

"Life-revoking wolf transformation." Liu Xingsheng's entire body was instantly covered by lightning, as the lightning disappeared looked to be a wolf twice the size of the wolf before his roar.

"Grauuu.." The long fangs of wolves seemed to be capable of tearing anything apart.

Once again elder Fang clucked in admiration for the genius of his students.

"It's not wrong that I made them my successors."

The fight continued until sunset, many injuries were created between the two genius disciples of the sect.

"Enough." Elder Fang stopped the fight, his second battleground was already flat with the ground, and the protective formation belonging to Elder Fang was already cracked, if it is continued longer then it can be sure the formation will be smashed into pieces.

"We will continue the match tomorrow, clean yourself up after that meet the teacher at the residence."

"Good teacher."

~~

Meanwhile in the western part of the sect was seen a young girl sitting together with a man.

"Fan'er any way you have to win this game. Since the prize of this tournament can change our lives, do you understand what Dad means?" That man was Qin Fen

The thirteen-year-old girl nodded slowly.

"Good, we must reclaim what is ours. After that happened father, Qin Fen would not let go of a single one of them. Haha." Qin Fen laughed out loud, while Qin Fanfan only smiled faintly but the glare of his sharp eyes implied a deep demdam.

'True father, what belongs to us must return to our hands.'

~~

"What, there's no way it's impossible" Feng Yu shouted hysterically at his residence, after learning that elder Chang An had raised Yang Jian to be his disciple.

"Calm down Yu'er, I know how you feel but being angry will only make things worse."

Feng Yu cried in the arms of his father, the patriarch of the jade sect, Feng Yin

"Why am I not the father, why is that child the disciple of Elder Chang."

"I've been training hard all this time to attract Elder Chang's attention but." Feng Yu was unable to continue his words, he looked tangled with messy hair.

"Relax Yu'er father will ask this to Elder Chang, no need to worry." the patriarch hugged Feng Yu and tried to calm him down.
