When Shi Ling read up to here, the expression on his face was somewhat stiff. Bai Xiaosheng said: "Looks like the Dong Hua Clan's power is not small, huh? Back then when we were in the sect entrance examination, Yeling's ranking was actually the same as yours, being outside the 90th place. But even so, she was still able to enter the Empyrean Terminus Academy. "

Saying that, Bai Xiaosheng looked at Shi Ling with a face of ridicule and said, "Same ranking, one is in the sky while the other is in the ground. I say, Shi Ling, I'm very curious about what you are thinking right now."

Shi Ling shrugged and said: "What other ideas can I have? Spirit Sword Sect itself is controlled by those branches, what can I do?"

With that, Shi Ling turned around and left. He said, "Let's go and report to my hall."

Bai Xiaosheng naturally followed him at this moment.

However, before heading to the hall, Shi Ling found a place to change into the sect specific clothing. Because those watchdogs won't be able to enter if they don't wear the proper clothing.

After Shi Ling had changed his clothes, he gave off a different feeling. He looked very lively. With a light blue robe, Shi Ling's tall and straight body was completely exposed. On the way, he occasionally met a few disciples who called him Senior Brother.

Only then did he have the feeling of becoming a outer sect disciple. Although he was still a low level trial disciple, Shi Ling believed that he would definitely be able to become an honorary disciple in the future and even regain his status as an official disciple.

The Human Extreme Institute located atop a huge mountain. This mountain was known as the 'Extreme Mortal Mountain', which had a total of twelve floors, and each floor corresponded to a hall entrance. From top to bottom, the names of the floors were: "Son, ugly, Yin, Zen, Zen, Zu, Zu, Wu, Shen, uni, unitary, Ming, Ming, Hai." Shi Ling's Hai Hall was located at the foot of the mountain, and since he was the lowest ranked among the Twelve Temples, he naturally fell at the foot of the mountain. And at the top of the Hall was the Hall of Healing, where Loong Yang resided, there was actually a palace above the Hall of Healing, where all the instructors worked.

At first glance, these palaces looked as if they were embedded in a mountain wall, making them look extremely dangerous. However, as long as one was in the middle of them, one would realize that these palaces were actually very safe, giving off the impression that these palaces were one with the people of the mountain.

Shi Ling also raised his head to look at the top of the mountain, and immediately, he walked towards the mountain without any hesitation. When they entered the mountain gate, the two guards carefully checked Shi Ling's body, which made Shi Ling feel uncomfortable. After all, two men touching him in broad daylight, no one would feel comfortable.

However, Shi Ling also quickly entered the Extreme Mortal Mountain. As Hai Hall was the lowest level of the hall, Shi Ling had already arrived at the entrance of the hall before he had even taken a few steps.

Shi Ling looked at the sign on the door and was about to enter. However, at this moment, a few figures walked out from the inside and blocked Shi Ling's path.

Shi Ling raised his head and looked at the few people in front of him. He frowned slightly as he looked at the sneering expressions on their faces and said, "Senior Brothers, what may I do for you?"

Since it was Shi Ling's first time here, he didn't want to cause any trouble here. Therefore, he tried to speak in a better tone.

At this moment, there was a young man wearing a blue robe. His hair was messy and he looked like a gangster. He smiled evilly and said, "This must be Junior Brother Shi Ling, right?"

Shi Ling couldn't help but slightly step back. He looked at the person in front of him warily and said, "Do you recognize me?"

Shi Ling felt that something was wrong. He had never come into contact with these people before, but they said his name out loud. And from their posture, it was obvious that they were here waiting for him.

The thug laughed: "I know him, of course I know him. Our Hai Hall has not been joined by a new junior for almost five years, but a new one suddenly appeared this year, how could we not know him?"

When Shi Ling heard this, he suddenly recalled that two years ago, when he had just entered the Spirit Sword Sect and became a outer sect disciple, he had heard that no new disciples had entered the Human Extreme Institute in five years. Why? This was because, when new disciples joined the fray, they would be easily bullied by the old disciples.

When Shi Ling found out that he was the only disciple that had entered the Hai Hall in the last five years, his eyelids twitched. He thought to himself, the matter of the disciples being assigned to the Institution must have been deliberately manipulated by someone, and it must definitely be someone who had enmity with him. Otherwise, why would he, coincidentally, be the only disciple that was assigned to this place?

However, at the same time, he was relieved. At least, he was sure that these people were looking for trouble with the 'new disciples' and not with him.

Immediately, Shi Ling's expression became much calmer. He said to the hoodlum in front of him, "How should I address you, Senior?"

As he said that, Shi Ling clasped his fist towards that man. The hoodlum shook his mixed hair and said, "Can you change your name or not, Jiang Hao, Young Master Jiang!"

As he said that, he showed Shi Ling a figure that he thought was very handsome. Shi Ling actually felt the urge to vomit when he saw this and dryly laughed twice. He said, "Alright, then I wonder if Martial Brother Jiang Hao can introduce me to the many seniors and juniors in the hall?"

When Jiang Hao saw that Shi Ling's attitude was not bad, he smiled proudly and said, "Of course, but is it?"

Speaking to this point, Jiang Hao started to laugh strangely again, and the people around them also started to laugh evilly. Looking at their appearances, Shi Ling vaguely guessed something, but he did not make it clear. Instead, he intentionally acted dumb and said, "But what?"

Jiang Hao replied, "Junior Brother Shi Ling is not a foolish person, so you should be able to imagine, as a newbie, he would be at a disadvantage in an unfamiliar environment. Without us seniors helping him, it would be hard for you to stay here, but, we didn't help Junior Brother Shi Ling for nothing, so, Junior Brother Shi Ling, you know what to do, right?"

When Shi Ling saw this, he didn't have any expression on his face, but he was already upset. As long as he had eyes, anyone could see that this guy just wanted to collect protection fees.

Shi Ling immediately said calmly, "Then how much do you need for Senior Brother to be willing to help Junior Brother Lin?"

Although he knew that this guy only said that he would help him, there was no need for him to expose it. Sometimes, pretending to be confused was also a method.

Jiang Hao didn't waste any more time on words and directly raised five fingers. Seeing this, Shi Ling asked, "500 gold coins?"

Jiang Hao smiled evilly and said, "5000!"
