On the stage, Yin waved his hand at Ezra Zephyr and said with a wide grin, "Alright, you can go now."
The prince indifferently glanced at the former. How could he not know that this was done on purpose. However, he did not say anything because it was true that he did appear to be a 1st level Core Formation expert on the surface, a fact that would draw criticism regardless of when he became a first-class disciple.
The only way to deal with such criticism was to prove oneself, something he would naturally have a chance to do in the future.
Hence, he directly returned to his original spot under numerous watching gazes.
The nearby group of Levoe and gang returned to their senses at this moment. With a hollow laugh, he put on a fake smile as he said to Ezra and his gang, "I did not expect this friend to have such solid measure. However, you'll only end up losing out in the end. Not many disciples will be willing to come into contact with you in the future."
The crowd around him nodded. Although they were envious inside, they righteously criticized Ezra for pulling strings such as having a token.
The martial masters of Naran continent frowned because at that place Ezra was not only the prince of Bloodfang Kingdom but also the face of Naran Continent's geniuses, disrespect to him means disrespect to Naran Continent's geniuses.
Ezra finally turned his sight towards Levoe and uttered. "Scram."
White and green interlaced on their faces, but they did not dare to say anything in the end. Ezra was after all a first-class disciple.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLevoe shot a look of hatred at Ezra Zephyr before leaving in embarrassment.
On the stage, Yin faced the still clamouring crowd and said in a nonchalant voice, "There is no need for any of you to grumble. The Spirit Devouring Mountain's rules are fair, and will not be biased towards anyone. If you cannot accept this result, feel free to challenge them.
A first-class disciple may not be fixed forever. If one is incapable, he or she will naturally be replaced.
So, don't be relieved just because you became a first-class disciple. The right path is still to continue training hard."
Yin's words made several disciples begin to stir as several malicious gazes were cast in Ezra's direction.
If one was to consider who would be the easiest to replace amongst the over hundred first-class disciples present, the answer was pretty obvious.
Elder Yin ignored the crowd's response as he continued to speak,
"Starting now, you will be training here for the next three months, after which will be the peak selection ceremony. Only those that pass the ceremony and enter the seven peaks as outer mountain disciples can be truly considered disciples of the Spirit Devouring Mountain.
Those that fail will become internee mountain disciples, and may also enter the seven peaks if the contribution conditions are met."
The hearts of the numerous new disciples shivered. Those that could enter the Spirit Devouring Mountain were naturally prideful geniuses.
Hence, failing to enter the seven peaks would be a tremendous blow to them.
"Your accommodation can be found on the disciple token.
From tomorrow onwards, every disciple will begin training in Energy Mountain. It is a specially constructed cultivation paradise of the Spirit Devouring Mountain, so you better grasp this chance well."
Yin's words caused another surge of noise to wash over the plaza. Desire rose in the eyes of the other Continents geniuses, clearly already aware of what it was, especially the geniuses of Shiyan and Rhiyan Continents.
The geniuses from the other weaker continents were at a loss, and could only humbly seek help.
Thus, several of the Shiyan and Rhiyan geniuses looked towards the other continent geniuses as if they were looking at country bumpkins, and said with an air of superiority, "You guys don't even know of Energy Mountain?
Energy Mountain is a type of martial prowess haven created by the Spirit Devouring Mountain. It's shaped like a volcano with a Spiritual Rune boundary carved on its insides to absorb spiritual energy which is then purified by several Spiritual Rune boundaries, causing the spiritual energy that spouts out to be so much more pure.
The most wonderful aspect of Energy Mountain is the Blooming Spirit Flower planted on every cultivation platform.
One only needs to feed spirit jade to this Blooming Spirit Flower, and it will draw out the spiritual energy in the mountain and send it spouting out.
The spiritual energy from the Blooming Spirit Flower is not only purer than normal but also contains some of its essences that can continuously temper the flowing qi or mana in the body. It can be said to be a cultivation treasure."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe numerous new disciples from the other continents were confused.
Although they sounded very amazing, what exactly were these Spirit jade and Blooming Spirit Flower?
"Spirit jade is an item manufactured by the Spirit Devouring Mountain. You may treat it as a substitute for spiritual crystals, though it can only be used in the sect. One can exchange Spirit jade for many items, pills, weapons or spiritual crystals."
Elder Yin opened his mouth to speak at this moment, "You new disciples will receive 30 Spirit jade pieces at the beginning of every month. The Spirit jade pieces for this month have already been placed in your quarters.
As for Energy Mountain, you will naturally understand when you train tomorrow."
He waved his hand and said, "Everyone should go find their living quarters."
After speaking, he turned around and left in an unhurried manner.
The plaza turned into a chaotic mess as numerous disciples began to scatter around, using the instructions on the token to search for their living quarters.
Ezra Zephyr and the masters of Naran Continent also followed the instructions, passing through the verdant mountain, before ultimately coming to a stop at the rear of the mountain.
