The Unbeatable Uncle-Grandmaster
Chapter 8: Training Begins
Although it had been 10 years since Qin Jue joined the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, as he rarely appeared in crowded places, the many cultivators sent to guard other places had never seen him, like this young man, before, Zhao Ruocheng's.
Zhao Ruocheng only heard rumors about Qin Jue from his fellow disciples.
"What rights does a teenager have to become an uncle-grandmaster ?!" Zhao Ruocheng felt very unreconciled.
He started cultivating at the age of six and it only took him 23 years to reach the final phase of the Profound Stage. In the future, he even had the chance to step onto the Earth Stage and become an elder of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect. But now, he had to refer to a teenager as his uncle-grandmaster. On what basis? Does he have more power?
If Zhang Yue was not here, Zhao Ruocheng would absolutely not be able to refuse to challenge Qin Jue directly.
Zhang Yue did not know what Zhao Ruocheng was thinking. He had already discussed with some mentors about the upcoming training. Since Elder Wu did not come, Zhang Yue had to be more careful. After all, no matter how he looked at it, the uncle-grandmaster lying on the roof seemed to have no intention of helping.
As the head of the branch hall of the Black Forest Branch Hall, if something were to happen to the disciples, Qin Jue might be fine since she was the younger brother of the sect head, he said, but he'll definitely be in trouble.
After two hours of discussion, they finally decided to set a training period for tomorrow. After all, these new disciples had just experienced a flying day. If they did not rest, it would definitely affect them.
When Zhang Yue and the others walked out of the main pavilion, Qin Jue, who was on the roof, had already disappeared. No one knows where he escaped.
Zhang Yue suddenly had a strange thought. Although these uncle-grandmasters were extremely unreliable, for him to be accepted as the last disciple of the previous sect master, his talent was definitely not bad. "Mentor, do you know at what level Uncle-Grandmaster is now?"
""I don't know.""
The mentors looked at each other and shook their heads.
"But since Uncle-Grandmaster is able to replace Elder Wu, I think he should at least reach the Earth Stage," one of the mentors guessed.
"Indeed. Uncle-Grandmaster's temperament was incredible. One glance and you can say that he is a leading expert, another ”mentor chimed in.
"Earth Level ?!" Zhang Yue widened his eyes in disbelief.
How could a teenage child reach Earth Stage?
But come to think of it, if Qin Jue had not reached the Earth Stage yet, how could she be tasked with replacing Elder Wu?
"Imust be!" Zhao Ruocheng, who was at the side, suddenly shouted loudly, attracting the attention of everyone. Hearing this, Zhao Ruocheng was instantly perplexed. He didn't realize that he was actually yelling at her!
“Why is that impossible, young man? Don't sit at the well and look up at the sky, or you'll just look stupid, ” said the previous mentor sadly.
"That's right, that's right." Other mentors agreed.
“…”
"You—" Zhao Ruocheng was unable to contain his anger and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Zhang Yue. "Shut up!"
Zhao Ruocheng was stunned, and then anger filled his eyes. However, he still obediently closed his mouth.
Just when the atmosphere became a bit awkward, there was suddenly a deafening sound in the distance. Qin Jue then lightly landed in front of everyone, still dressed in white and extremely handsome.
"How's that? Has the training period been decided?” Qin Jue said drunkly.
Suppressing his surprise, Zhang Yue replied, “It has been decided. We'll start tomorrow morning.”
If he was not mistaken, Qin Jue seemed to have just flown. And to fly in the air, one must at least reach the Earth Stage.
In other words, Qin Jue was indeed an Earth Stage cultivator!
Beside him, Zhao Ruocheng was already dumbfounded. He practically did not dare to believe his eyes.
As for the two mentors who had previously said that Qin Jue was an Earth Stage cultivator, they had complacent expressions and did not forget to use their eyes to mock Zhao Ruocheng.
"understand. Is there a place to sleep?” Qin Jue yawned sleepily.
Mentors are speechless. You've been sleeping for a day. Have you not slept enough?
"Yes yes!" Zhang Yue nodded repeatedly. “Someone, quickly arrange a room for Uncle-Grandmaster. Wait, I'll do it myself!”
Originally, Zhang Yue had thought that Qin Jue was, at most, a Profound Stage cultivator and was only symbolically responsible for completing missions, so that he could return to the sect to receive rewards. But now, he had discovered that Qin Jue was a genuine Earth Stage cultivator!
As everyone knew, there was a difference of heaven and earth between an Earth Stage cultivator and a Profound Stage cultivator. Even if Qin Jue did nothing but stand there, he could still intimidate others. How could Zhang Yue not be happy with this?
He quickly arranged for Qin Jue to stay in a separate courtyard, which was usually used for the elders.
The yard was even next to the river. It was quite calm, and its spirit qi was quite dense. However, Qin Jue was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery. After entering the courtyard, he immediately went to his room and fell asleep.
He slept until the next day.
Next morning.
The sun rises, and the world comes alive.
Qin Jue opened her eyes and stretched her body before opening the door in high spirits.
dong!
The pleasant sound of bells echoed throughout the complex.
Qin Jue looked over. He knew that training would begin soon.
…
In the vast square, over two hundred new disciples had gathered. They huddled together, making it a bit noisy.
"Sunny!"
Zhang Yue stood in front and raised his voice. “Murid of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, I'm sure you all know that this training will determine your place in the Sect and your future.
“Remember, disciples who hunted three demon beasts or less, regardless of their talent, could only enter the outer court. As for disciples who hunted four or more demon beasts, they would be directly promoted to the inner court. With the demon crystals from the demon beasts as proof, the top three disciples with the most crystals would be rewarded with the empowerment of spirit energy.
“If anyone is hiding or who fails to hunt demonic beasts, I am sorry, but you are not qualified to become a cultivator and will be obliterated.
“The training period is three days. In these three days, you are not allowed to form a team. You are not allowed to leave the designated area. You are not allowed to hurt your fellow disciples. If not, you will have to bear the consequences! Moreover, if you encounter a high-level demonic beast or a life-threatening danger that exceeds the training level, put your hand on the jade tablet that was given to you before you came and put your spirit energy into it. When the mentors sense this, they will immediately rush to save you. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yue looked around and shouted, "Do you all understand ?!"
""Understood!""
All the students hurriedly responded.
"Good, training has officially begun!"
With a wave of Zhang Yue's hand, the two hundred more new disciples fell silent for a moment before rushing towards the nearby Black Forest, quickly disappearing into this endless forest.
“Please the mentors.” Watching all the new disciples enter the forest, Zhang Yue cupped his fists at the mentors.
"Hahaha, don't worry, Master Zhang." The mentors smiled and then parted in different directions to infiltrate the Black Forest, secretly protecting those new disciples.
At this moment, Qin Jue, holding a pot of wine, finally arrived.
He took a sip of wine and casually asked, "The training has already begun?"
"Yes." Yeah." Zhang Yue then solemnly said, "Uncle-Grandmaster, please take care of them."
Although there should only be low-level Yellow Stage demon beasts in this area, the Black Forest was still too dangerous. No one could guarantee that a Profound Stage or even an Earth Stage demon beast would not suddenly leap out.
These new disciples were the future fresh blood of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect. If they were to be attacked by a high-level demonic beast, it would be a great loss to the entire sect.
"No problem." Qin Jue nodded and flew. He sat cross-legged on a stone pillar at the edge of the square and continued to drink spirit wine casually.
Zhang Yue: "???"
