Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

THERE WASN’T MUCH suspense when Yang Lujia fought in the Knockout Segment. He basically trampled every opponent he had faced. It had gone the same for Lin Diyu. If it were not for his master’s participation in the elimination round, he would have emerged as the most talented one.

Who could defeat a God Emperor at the Seventh Level when everyone else was still below the God Emperor Realm?

Wang Lao was even frightened by Yang Lujia’s battle prowess. The first time Yang Lujia fought with an opponent, he almost killed the latter with a single tap of his finger. Who the hell would be able to kill a God King that easily?

Even for him, the most he could do with one strike was severely injure a God King at his or her peak, but it would take him to take out all of his power in that strike. In comparison… he didn’t even want to compare anymore. At that time, he felt like the world had something against him.

“Is it already over?” Yang Lujia said, his face twitching. He didn’t know why, but after fighting for a while from Da Shenghou to Da Sishen, it felt like he always became sleepy. Apart from getting hungry, he only wanted to sleep.

Hence, he couldn’t help but ask Fortuniel about the matter. It only said that the Supreme Heavenly Scripture he practiced was already at its peak. At the moment, it was even advancing to becoming a peak heaven-ranked scripture. This confused him. He didn’t know if this was a good thing or not.

Nevertheless, he only wanted to go home and sleep.

Stretching his hand to accept the lousy heaven-ranked pills, he gave a casual glance at the two brothers. He then folded his arms and slowly pushed the one hundred pills ten by ten to his mouth. This reward was enough for someone to break through at most three levels in the God King Realm, yet this punk actually swallowed them like he was eating candies._.

All the people present were once again dumbfounded by this turn of events.

Lin Diyu’s eyes, on the other hand, were shining as he stared at the pills he earned from fighting lousy opponents. He then shot a look at his master. “Master! Master!” Without minding anyone in his way, he shuttled to his master’s post. “Master! Look! I’ve won some pills! I will give this to the master to eat! It seems like master likes to eat these circular things.”

Yang Lujia then grinned and drowsily patted his disciple’s shoulders. “I didn’t raise you wrong. Give me the pills now and shove them into my mouth,” he said, dropping his jaw widely.

Lin Diyu felt eternally happy when his master praised him for doing well. He then hurriedly pushed the pills ten by ten until they were all eaten.

With a burp, Yang Lujia’s eyes rolled towards his first disciple. “Come on. Let’s go home now. I want to sleep for a while.”

He really didn’t get it. He felt dizzy and sleepy. As for what Fortuniel guessed, he didn’t entirely believe it. After all, he had learned countless heaven-ranked scriptures, but he had never once felt like this. Although the Supreme Heavenly Scripture allowed him to cultivate while doing leisure things, he was not like this—something like being forced to sleep or eat in order to cultivate.

There must be something wrong with him.

Or perhaps it had something to do with him being in the Realm of Death. He wasn’t sure.

On the other hand, Wang Lao and Wang Zhu were wearing grave expressions after the elimination round.

“Big brother, I thought father said that those demons from the Northern Territory would cause trouble during the elimination round. However, they didn’t. What exactly happened?” Wang Zhu felt skeptical.

Wang Lao’s face was also solemn. “I don’t know exactly. I also thought the same. After all, it was the perfect time for them to strike. As they are always stronger than us, they could basically finish off all the God Emperors in the Eastern Territory. Even I don’t stand a chance against one of their demon generals…”

Wang Zhu turned pale. “Even you, big brother, can’t help them?”

“This is why this is so strange; they didn’t take the time to attack when all of us God Emperors were present,” Wang Lao said, both his clasped hands against his chin. “Wang Zhu, you go and send a person from our city to Diabolos City as a spy. I know we’re weak, but we can’t just sit down like bullied carps.”

“Yes, big brother.”

“The Annual Death Ceremony will happen in a month. With Cao Nima and Lin Diyu, I don’t think we will lose. Moreover, that Cao Nima seemed to be hiding his true cultivation level. What was even more frightening was his age. He was only 15 years old? Who would believe that shit?”

Wang Zhu also faintly nodded. He had already gone numb with Cao Nima’s surprises. Getting surprised wouldn’t do him any good, anyhow. Besides, that Cao Nima seemed to be a nice person who wouldn’t kill anyone he saw as irritating or, in general, he would not end anyone’s life unreasonably.

“Brother, he really is 15 years old. Although the array formation on the outside didn’t show the blue screen of his data, I knew that it was because other than his talent wasn’t graded, other data could be seen on our recorded data.”

“See? That’s so unreasonable!” Wang Lao whined, but later composed himself and said, “Go now. I don’t want to talk about him. Remember, you suffered under his array formation. Fuck that! I still remember the second layer of that array formation that I broke. I suddenly got naked!”

“I also saw that, big brother.”

“Why the fuck are you still here, bun-faced asshole!” Wang Lao shouted and coughed lightly while blushing. “Pretend you didn’t hear what I said.”

“You actually blushed, big brother?” Wang Zhu was startled.

Wang Lao couldn’t take anymore and directly kicked Wang Zhu’s butt out of the City Lord Mansion. “Don’t go back until you forget what I said!”

Meanwhile, the four demon generals gathered in a large but eerie-filled hall were waiting for their lord to reappear. It was on this day that their lord told them to wait for him. At this moment, they had several things to report.

“Why didn’t we just attack directly?” Fierce Demon got exasperated. “It’s the perfect time to kill those God Emperors or make the others submit if they choose to live!”

Soul Demon shot him a glare. “You do know my disciple went missing after that night when a bureau of the city got flattened, don’t you? Do you think this matter is just as simple as you think? Besides, I have my eyes on them. You all don’t have to worry. We will only wait for the lord’s orders. Without him, we couldn’t rashly attack that city.”

Runic Demon was silent, and his eyes flashed with hesitation. “Soul Demon, is what you said true? Among the contestants in the elimination round you saw, there was a very strong competitor in their elimination round?”

Soul Demon’s eyes narrowed into slits. “Yes, Runic Demon. I also found out that he was only 15 years old, and yet, his cultivation had already reached the Seventh Stage of the God Emperor Realm.”

Unknowingly, Yang Lujia got himself spotted by his not-supposed-to-be enemies.

“What?” Runic Demon’s eyes almost bulged out of his head. The same thing happened with the other two demons. He then asked another question, “What’s his name?”

“He’s called Cao Nima.”

Speed Demon twitched the side of his mouth when he thought of the name’s meaning. “Who named him like that?”

Fierce Demon also laughed at the strange name he heard.

On the other hand, Runic Demon, who was the smartest of them all, found this extremely peculiar. He then thought of a possibility. His gaze turned to the Soul Demon. His face was solemn. “We shouldn’t believe every piece of information we receive or see. I think that young man must be hiding something. We might have to reconsider attacking the city. Other than those monsters from the Central Domain, I couldn’t think of a possibility for his origin. He might be sent by the Central Domain as a spy.”

The other three’s faces darkened.

As the four contemplated what to do, the large door in the hall creaked open. A young man strutted his way towards them.

It was exactly their lord.

Hurriedly, they stood up and paid their respects to him.

But the young man just waved his right hand and asked with a grave face, “Tell me, what were you talking about just now?”
