"Junior brother Lu, how does it feel to be the center of attention?" Wang Qing smiled as she asked Lu Chen who was sitting at the table with a bitter look on his face.

"Nothing much, I'm so annoyed." Lu Chen said. Ever since his performance in the arena and the news that he was Jin Yun's nephew had been spread out, quite a few people from the academy had come to visit him on various grounds. However, they had all been rejected by him because of his injuries, and what made him at a loss of whether to laugh or cry was that Zhang Qiang, who had looked down on him back then, had also come to ask him if he was used to setting up a private room for him.

"That is because Martial Uncle Jin is someone who is doted on by the Sect Leader as a disciple. Although Martial Uncle Jin is currently an honorary disciple of the Sect Leader, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before he becomes an official disciple of the Sect Leader." Including Junior Master Jin, the Sect Leader has only taken in three disciples in total, the two of them only concern themselves with cultivation each day. As for the various matters within the Sect, they are usually handed over to Junior Master Jin to handle. Everyone can tell that the Sect Leader is grooming the next Sect Leader, and if they curry favor with you, it would be equivalent to fawning over the future Sect Leader. " Wang Qing said.

"I didn't expect Martial Uncle Jin to be so beloved by the Sect Leader. I can understand why they came to curry favor with me. Oh right, who are those two disciples of Sect Leader?" Lu Chen asked.

"One is the Martial Ancestor of Xuan Yu Xuan, the other is the Martial Ancestor of Ming Lou." Wang Qing said.

"It's them! Are they willing to come back and accept Junior Master Jin as their Sect Leader?" Lu Chen asked. In the past few days, he had also gotten to know a few of the major disciples of the Cloudsoaring sect from Wang Qing. Of course, the first was that Xuan Yu was a 70 year old Core Formation cultivator and a proverbial genius in Sky Dragon Continent. His fame was only lower than that of Sky Dragon Continent's number one genius, Murong Qing. The second was Ming Lou. Ming Lou was famous not only because of her cultivation level, but also because she was Sky Dragon Continent's number one beauty. She was born with a kind personality and was willing to help others. The third was Jin Yun. Although Jin Yun's cultivation wasn't high, he was still an honorary disciple of the Sect Leader. Moreover, his talent couldn't compare to Xuan Yu or Murong Qing, but he was still considered good. The fourth was Great Elder Ling Feng's eldest disciple, Xu Yuqiang. He was also a Core Formation Stage disciple, and his cultivation was even higher than Ming Lou, but unfortunately, he did not have the upper hand at the age of one. Furthermore, he did not have control over the sect like Jin Yun did. The fifth was Third Elder Ling Yu's second disciple, Yin Tianba. His pill talent was also good at 96 years old, but he was only at the early Core Formation stage, so he was slightly inferior to Xu Yuqiang. The sixth was Ling Lei Er's third disciple, Su Mei'er. She was still in the Foundation Establishment stage, but because he had Heaven Spiritual Roots, she was highly regarded. The seventh was the eldest disciple of Fifth Elder Ling Feng, Yun Jiao. She was also at the Foundation Establishment stage, but Yun Jiao's beauty was second only to Ming Lou. As for the seven of them, they were now part of the Lingyun Seven Immortals.

"It's not that they were unresigned, it's just that Martial Ancestor Xuan and Martial Ancestor Ming only focused on cultivation. They were secretly competing with Murong Qing and Qingxiao Yun to see who would be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage earlier on." Wang Qing said.

"So that's how it is." Lu Chen said.

"Lu Chen, come out and gather." Lu Chen heard a voice from outside.

"It seems like Lu Chen will have to go back to work." Wang Qing looked at Lu Chen with sympathy.

"Senior Martial Brother Wang?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

"You go out first. In a while, you'll understand that the labor of the Cloudsoaring sect isn't that simple. Wang Qing said meaningfully.

Lu Chen walked outside with his doubts. When he followed the new disciples who had been recruited into the chore house, he finally understood why Wang Qing was looking at him that way. When they arrived at the forest behind the Qiyun Mountains, they saw that there were two people holding onto trees as thick as a person's arm, while they didn't have any tools in their possession.

"Listen up. First of all, you have to cut down a tree by yourself. Don't use spiritual energy, if I discover anyone using spiritual energy secretly, I will be expelled." Zhang Qiang's voice sounded.

"Then what are we going to use to cut down the trees, Uncle-Master?" There are no tools at all. " a disciple asked.

"Using your hands is the best tool, of course." Zhang Qiang said.

"What?" "How can this be cut apart?" The people in the crowd immediately broke out into a flurry of discussion.

"Alright, the reason why the sect let you do this is to train your physical body, but if someone is unwilling, then there is no way down the mountain." Zhang Qiang said.

Everyone immediately stopped talking.

"Alright, let's begin. In four hours, I want to see a book that has been cut." Zhang Qiang said.

The moment Zhang Qiang finished his words, everyone hurriedly found the tree they wanted to chop down and started to chop down at it with both of their hands.

"This Cloudsoaring sect's cultivation method is really depressing." Lu Chen looked at his red hands and said helplessly. Forget it, since it's true that we can train our physical bodies, let's just start. " Lu Chen made up his mind and chopped at the tree again and again.

After four hours, some of them had already been cut down and only half of them had been cut down. As for Lu Chen, because he was an Aurous Core stage cultivator, his physical body was still in the Aurous Core stage, so he had cut it off very early on. But now, his hands were already red, and when he looked at the other people's hands, many of them were already badly mutilated.

"Four hours have passed. Those that are finished can participate in this year's promotion. Those that are not finished can not participate." Zhang Qiang said.

"What?" If there's nothing else, you just can't enter the inner sect. " The people below said.

"The time when you think you can't participate in the advancement competition is when you can't enter the inner sect. I'm talking about going from the small courtyard to the Sky, Earth, and Yellow Branch. Although at that time, you can't enter according to your different cultivations, even if you can't pass the advancement competition." Zhang Qiang said.

"What? How could this be?" The people below said.

"If you have any complaints, you can leave immediately." Zhang Qiang said.

Sure enough, after Zhang Qiang's words, no one said anything else. How could they just leave like that after trying so hard to get in?

"If you have no objections, then come with me to the river to draw water." Zhang Qiang said.

Everyone followed Zhang Qiang to the riverside. When they saw the large vat and the bamboo basket, they understood what they were going to do.

Sure enough, Zhang Qiang was heard saying, "Pick up the bamboo basket in front of you and draw water for two hours. If you can't finish, you can't participate in the Class Promotion Tournament." The moment Zhang Qiang finished his words, everyone hurriedly picked up their bamboo baskets and started to fetch water. Even those with injured hands didn't care about their injured ones.

"The Cloudsoaring sect really makes people speechless." Lu Chen picked up the bamboo basket and started filling it with water as well.

Two hours later, a number of people failed the promotion competition. Lu Chen was lucky to be able to pass today's work.

"Alright, we'll work together at this time tomorrow morning. Let's go back now." After saying that, Zhang Qiang led everyone back.
