C226 Promotion to Core Disciple

Duanmu Kuang had always kept this kindness in his heart. He brought a few pots of wine and drank with these three people. He drank and chatted happily. Only, not long after, it was interrupted. After many searches, the elders finally found this place. They forcefully took him away.

The few old men were aggressive and didn't say much. They practically lifted him up and left, bringing him to a certain place in the campsite to have a secret discussion. They left for a few hours.

What happened in the middle? What did they talk about? No one knew. However, soon there was news that Duanmu Kuang had been made an exception and was promoted to a true disciple. He had become one of the top disciples in the Five Mountain Sect from an inner circle disciple to an inner circle disciple, and his status had been raised by a few levels.

This naturally attracted a lot of attention and attracted a lot of controversy. One should know that Duanmu Kuang's cultivation base was only at the early Essence Opening Stage, and he hadn't even reached the basic requirement of being a true disciple... Profound Essence Stage.

In the Five Mountain Sect, the inner circle disciples were at the Innate Stage, and the core disciples were at the Essence Opening Stage. The true disciples were at the Profound Essence Stage. In order to become a true disciple, one must first reach the Profound Essence Stage. Moreover, if one had the potential to develop in all aspects, they could only advance after going through layers of tests.

After all, there were only a few true disciples in each sect. They were the true pillars of the sect, and they represented the reputation of the sect. They represented the top power of the Five Mountain Sect's new generation, and it wasn't something that could be casually promoted.

Many people were shocked. They didn't understand why the higher ups of the sect would make such a hasty decision. Although Duanmu Kuang's talent was extraordinary, it was completely inconsistent with the rules of the sect. He had broken the first rule that the Five Mountain Sect had never made since its establishment.

People were discussing amongst themselves, and many of them expressed that they couldn't accept it. The disciples of the sect, including many of the middle ranks, all strongly requested the sect to take back the order. According to them, Duanmu Kuang's talent was good, and he could be given some special privileges. However, he could not be promoted to a true disciple because the impact of this matter was too great.

What did a true disciple represent? It meant that Duanmu Kuang would no longer be under the jurisdiction of many people, and his status would be respected. Apart from the elders or the Sect Master, no one else could order him around. Furthermore, he would have to be his representative, a true disciple, and have the authority to rule over everyone below the elders.

Due to Duanmu Kuang's bad reputation in the Five Mountain Sect, in the eyes of many people, he was a thorn, or even a madman. When he was still an inner circle disciple... He dared to cause havoc in the Heroic Meeting, beating up and crippling many core disciples. If he became a true disciple, how could that be possible? Wouldn't that mean he would stab the heavens down?

The crowd was furious and strongly opposed it, especially some of the core disciples who had come with the sect elders to train here. Back then, they had suffered a lot under Duanmu Kuang's hands, and had been beaten black and blue. Their reactions were even more intense, and they all attacked the Sect Elders together. They expressed that they would never admit Duanmu Kuang's identity as a true disciple.

Of course, there were also some people who agreed with the decision of the sect. After all, Duanmu Kuang's talent was there, and now that he had returned in such a domineering manner... He was going to become a powerful man in the future. It was almost certain.

For every sect, such a disciple... It was something that could not even be chanced upon. For example, the other four great sects didn't have such good fortune. There had never been a disciple with such outstanding talent.

Back then, the Five Mountain Sect only produced Wu Yue, and he had already gotten rid of the previous situation. He had suppressed the other disciples of the four major sects until they couldn't even lift their heads, even if the overall strength of the disciples of the Five Mountain Sect was far inferior to the other four major sects. No one dared to look down on the future of the Five Mountain Sect.

This was because the Five Mountain Sect had Wu Yue, a future expert who was reputed to be the number one young man in the Zhennan feud. It was destined that the Five Mountain Sect would continue to grow stronger, or even stronger, and suppress all the other major sects.

Today, another Duanmu Kuang had emerged from the ___, a disciple who was even more talented than Wu Yue. Perhaps, he would become an expert whose name would shake the entire continent in the future. If they all grew up, how powerful would the Five Mountain Sect become in the future? Just thinking about it was enough to excite people. Their blood was boiling.

Those who agreed with Duanmu Kuang's promotion thought that the sect should rope Duanmu Kuang in at this time. Making an exception and giving him the identity of a true disciple was the most appropriate. At that time, when this disciple grew up, even if he was strong enough to the point that he needed to walk out of the Five Mountain Sect... When he walked to a bigger stage in his life, he would be branded with the brand of the Five Mountain Sect. He would never forget the good of the sect.

A peerless genius should receive such courtesy. This was the viewpoint of those who supported the decision of the sect. Because of this, two groups of people started quarreling. It was a heated argument. The entire campsite was in chaos.

Finally, Zhong Zhenyue came forward and made the final decision. He said that this matter had already passed the decision of all the higher ups of the sect and had already announced it at the sect headquarters. All the supreme elders had also agreed to this matter, and no one was allowed to have any objections.

This storm had finally come to an end. The dust had settled, and all the controversy had settled down. No one dared to raise any objections.

"It's already late at night. Time passes really quickly. These damn old men..." After coming out from the elders' place, Duanmu Kuang raised his head and looked at the sky. He was baring his teeth and complaining continuously.

Ever since he was taken away by those old men in the afternoon, those few people had been coaxing and scolding him. They had asked a lot of questions. However, most of them were asking him the reason for the huge changes that had happened previously, and why he had been drinking all day to relieve his worries. That way, he would willingly fall into depravity.

Regarding this, Duanmu Kuang naturally couldn't bear it any longer. He casually responded with a few words. He originally wanted to fool them like this, but who knew that these old men wouldn't let him off? They wanted to find out more about him, and only now did they release him.

"However, it's a little late. It's not like we didn't gain anything this time. At the very least, we managed to become a true disciple." Duanmu Kuang said to himself.

The few old men were worried about him and insisted on checking his body. They wanted to see the degree of recovery of his blood and Qi, as well as the solidification of his Yuan Qi. They wanted to see if he had fully recovered.

Without a doubt, the elders were shocked. That rich blood energy was simply like a vast ocean, endless and surging.

Especially when Duanmu Kuang slightly exposed the condensed Yuan energy. The few old men couldn't sit still anymore and were so shocked that they almost ripped off their beards.

A Essence Opening Stage had already condensed Yuan energy. This wasn't a joke. Not to mention in the real world, even in the history books, there were no such records. In other words, no one on the continent had ever been able to condense Yuan energy at this level. He once again used his unparalleled talent to shock the world.
