Han Tianxing and Li Xuanming's battle shocked everyone. Even after a long time, even after the next few battles, Xiaobao's elimination of another senior disciple and his advancement to the next round did not attract anyone's attention. Everyone was still immersed in the previous battle.
After the day's battles, while Han Tianxing was defeated, he had lost in glory. Everyone looked at him in a new light, and they began to view Hidden Sword Court in a new light.
Grand Senior Brother's defeat had led everyone to believe that Hidden Sword Court was about to fall, because Grand Senior Brother was Hidden Sword Court's last flag. His fall meant that Hidden Sword Court's last line of defense had been destroyed.
However, they soon realised that was not the case!
First of all, Li Chengfeng took the lead and even led the way in the assessment. He steadily maintained his position in the first group and remained undefeated until now.
Secondly, Han Tianxing rose to fame in one battle. Not only did everyone witness his bravery, they also saw Hidden Sword Court's unyielding spirit and unyielding spirit!
If these two did not attract their attention, then Xiaobao had also silently followed Li Chengfeng into the top fifty. This was enough to send shivers down the spines of those who hated Hidden Brocade Court!
Han Tianxing was eliminated. Based on the time and winning percentage, he was ranked seventy-eighth. His ranking was slightly above average but it was already an excellent ranking.
If he hadn't met Hidden Modesty Court's strongest young disciple, Li Xuanming, everyone believed that with his indomitable willpower and fiery desire to fight … as well as the Heavenly Dragon Sword in his hand, this amazing scholar disciple would definitely be able to go even further.
At the same time, Sun Yongcai was also eliminated on the same day. He was ranked ninety-seventh.
This was already their best ranking, but they weren't happy at all. Because they had actually lost to a newcomer who had just entered the sect not long ago, and this newcomer was a defected disciple who didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken!
How could they, senior brothers who had cultivated for more than twenty years, accept this?
But … the most embarrassing thing was yet to come.
"Sun Yongcai!"
In the training room of the Hidden Brocade Court martial arts arena, a Hidden Brocade Court disciple rushed in angrily. He glared at Sun Yongcai and Zuo Fei and shouted, "Who gave you permission to use this arena!"
Although Sun Yongcai was eliminated, Zuo Fei was lucky enough to advance to the next round. His opponent was a disciple of the Hidden Modesty Court, and this disciple had barely passed the previous round. Zuo Fei was very likely to pass the next round, so Sun Yongcai did not sink into despair. He quickly extricated himself from the pain and depression, and quickly threw himself into helping Zuo Fei with his training.
Sun Yongcai and Zuo Fei were very familiar with this Hidden Brocade Court disciple. He was the one who had been targeting them ever since they entered Hidden Brocade Court. His name was Li Decai.
Naturally, not everyone in Hidden Brocade Court welcomed Sun Yongcai and Zuo Fei. In fact, most of them were filled with disdain, suspicion and hostility.
Some of them doubted the loyalty of these traitorous disciples, and even thought that their arrival was a waste of the resources they deserved.
Although they were all disciples of Hidden Brocade Court, not all of them were born rich merchants or rich playboys. Quite a number of them were like Xiaobao, they were all servants who followed him to cultivate, and they were also counted as inner disciples. These people made up more than half of the cultivation world, and they were collectively known as outer disciples.
Compared to Li Chengfeng, who entered through his own strength, or official disciples like Zhan Qisheng, who entered through his family background, these outer disciples were collectively known as inner disciples. When the Master taught cultivation and explained the battle, only inner disciples had the right to participate. These outer disciples had no right to participate at all, not even the right to listen.
These people's resources came from a portion of Hidden Brocade Court's public resource pool. This portion of resources was shared by the public, specifically for outer disciples like them. Other than this, they could not receive a large amount of resources from the Hidden Brocade Court. They could only rely on the pool's share, and their master's alms.
Among these outer disciples, there were those who were favoured and powerful, so they could naturally receive more resources from their master. However, these noble disciples of Hidden Brocade Court often had more than ten or even dozens of servants. With so many people, how could they all be favoured?
Since these people had come to Spiritual Mountain Sect, which one of them did not hope to become stronger one day, and escape the cage of the Three Realms?
The arrival of Sun Yongcai and the rest had a huge impact on them, because Sun Yongcai and the rest could not be counted as inner disciples of Hidden Brocade Court, they could only be outer disciples. There was only so much food for a bowl, but now that so many outer disciples had come to share the food, these outer disciples were naturally very unwilling, and could not wait to chase Sun Yongcai and the rest away.
Hence, ever since Sun Yongcai and the rest came to Hidden Brocade Court, they were constantly being bullied and ostracized. However, Sun Yongcai knew that they had to endure it. They were living under someone else's roof, so they could only swallow their anger.
Hence, when Li Decai kicked the door open and stormed in, Sun Yongcai could not help but smile. "Ah, it's Senior Brother Li, this place …"
Li Decai spat on Chengfeng's face, spittle flying everywhere. "Ptui!
Who the f * ck is your Senior Brother, don't take advantage of me!
You think you're worthy?
Don't think that just because you're wearing Hidden Brocade Court's skin, you're one of us! "
At this time, there were three other Hidden Sword Court disciples in the training room. They all glared at Li Decai, but Li Decai glared back at them and shouted, "What are you looking at?!
Did I say anything wrong?!
At most, you're Hidden Brocade Court's dogs!
If you want to be a dog, then you must have the awareness of being a dog!
How dare you glare at your Master?
Are you trying to rebel? "
Sun Yongcai forced a smile and said, "Senior Brother … we've already agreed on this training room, we'll be done in at most four hours …"
Li Decai did not wait for him to finish and spat again. "Ptui!
What do you want this training room for?
With just the few of you, isn't using the Cultivation Room equivalent to occupying the latrine without taking a shit?
Get lost!
This isn't for dogs! "
Zuo Fei was furious. He clenched his fists and was about to argue when Sun Yongcai immediately stepped forward and held him down. He then smiled apologetically at Li Decai. "Yes, yes, Senior Brother is right. We … we'll leave now, we'll leave now!"
Li Decai stood at the side and looked at them from the corner of his eye. He watched Sun Yongcai and the others leave with disdain. Then, he spat and sneered, "What the f * ck!"
Sun Yongcai and the others heard it loud and clear. They were all furious. Sun Yongcai clenched his fists so hard that the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
When they all left and came to a deserted path, one of the former Hidden Sword Court disciples said angrily, "Senior Brother!
This is too much! "
"That's right!
They don't even see us as human beings! "
"Senior Brother, what should we do if this goes on!"
"I think they're just using us. Once they destroy Hidden Sword Court, they'll definitely find a way to chase us away!"
Sun Yongcai's heart was as clear as a mirror. He knew that this was the truth. It was a pity that they were instigated by Huangfu Song in a moment of anger and did something so stupid.
Zuo Fei hesitated, then asked tentatively, "Senior Brother Sun, why don't we … go back to Hidden Sword Court?"
The other three disciples immediately said, "Yes, yes!
Let's go back! "
Although they had left Hidden Sword Court, they still thought of themselves as Hidden Sword Court disciples in their hearts.
As the saying went, 'You only know what's most precious when you lose something!'
Although they had a hard time in Hidden Sword Court, they supported and helped each other. No one looked down on each other, no one bullied each other. However, once they left Hidden Sword Court … they thought they would have a way out, but who knew … it would be an even more terrifying path to death!
However … Sun Yongcai's heart was heavy. He felt terrible when he thought of Li Chengfeng, Han Tianxing and Xiaobao's behaviour.
"Go back now?" Sun Yongcai sighed. "Will they still accept us?"
This question silenced all of them.
Yes, they had betrayed Hidden Sword Court when it was at its most critical moment. Now that Hidden Sword Court seemed to have a chance to survive, if they went back, what would they become?
If they stayed, they would die. If they went back, they would lose face. This dilemma made Sun Yongcai and the others silent and depressed.
