Chapter 82 - Public Humiliation
The first battle was over before anyone realized it had begun.A burly disciple swung his wooden saber with frightening speed.Crack!His opponent flew off the platform and landed in the dirt with a miserable cry."Winner!"The supervising instructor didn't even glance at the fallen disciple before calling the next pair."Platform Three!""Liu Han!""Chen Mo!"Around the massive Martial Arena, hundreds of Outer Disciples cheered, jeered, and shouted advice.Today was the first day of practical combat.Unlike the entrance examinations, there were no puzzles to solve.No teamwork.No endurance tests.Only one simple question.Could you fight?Sawyer stood quietly beside Wang and Chi, watching disciple after disciple step onto the platforms.Some relied purely on strength.Others displayed elegant swordsmanship.Several noble heirs performed flashy techniques that drew loud applause from the crowd.But Sawyer wasn't watching the techniques.He was watching the fighters.Their breathing.
Chapter 81 - Martial Pavilion
Unlike the previous mornings, the disciples weren't rushing toward the lecture halls or the mission grounds.Instead, nearly every disciple wore an excited expression.Even Wang was walking unusually fast."Come on!""If we're late, all the good techniques will be gone!"Chi hurried after him."You've been saying that since breakfast.""Because it's true!""The stronger the martial art, the stronger we'll become!"He glanced at Sawyer."You'd better not stop to admire flowers again."Sawyer chuckled."I wasn't admiring flowers.""You spent ten minutes looking at one tree.""I was observing.""Exactly."Chi laughed."He's not wrong."The three followed the flow of disciples until they reached one of the largest buildings in the Outer Sect.The Martial Pavilion.It towered above the surrounding halls like an ancient guardian.Its seven stories stretched into the sky, each floor decorated with dark wooden pillars carved with countless martial figures.Massive stone lions stood at the ent
Chapter 80 - Robbed in Broad Daylight
The morning after the Stone Carrying Mission, the Outer Sect was unusually lively.Hundreds of disciples gathered before the Resource Hall, forming several long lines that stretched across the stone courtyard.Some chatted excitedly.Others clutched their identity tokens with anticipation.Today...Every Outer Disciple would receive their monthly cultivation resources.For disciples living on the lowest rung of Moon Brim Sect...This was the most important day of the month.Without cultivation resources...Progress was painfully slow.Wang stood on his toes, trying to see the front of the line."What exactly do we get?"Chi shrugged."I heard Spirit Gathering Pills.""Cultivation stones.""And contribution vouchers."Wang grinned."Finally.""Something good is happening."Sawyer remained silent.Instead of watching the Resource Hall...He watched the disciples.More accurately...He watched the people standing beside the line instead of inside it.Groups.Factions.They weren't waitin
Chapter 79 -The Stone Carrying Mission
The sound of a bronze bell echoed across the Outer Sect just after sunrise.Dong!Dong!Dong!Disciples poured out of their residences, some still fastening their robes, others clutching steamed buns as they hurried toward the Assembly Square.Wang rubbed his eyes and yawned."They ring that thing like they're trying to wake the entire mountain.""They are," Chi replied, adjusting his robe.Sawyer was already standing outside the residence, waiting for them."Let's go."The three joined the growing crowd, eventually arriving at a massive stone plaza where nearly a thousand Outer Disciples had gathered.Rows upon rows of disciples stood in orderly lines.Some chatted excitedly.Others looked exhausted.At the front stood a broad-shouldered elder with weathered skin and arms thick enough to rival tree trunks.He looked more like a blacksmith than an elder.Without any introduction, he spoke."Outer Disciples don't eat for free."His booming voice rolled across the square."You cultivate
Chapter 78 - First Lesson
"Late." The cold voice echoed across the Martial Lecture Hall.More than five hundred Outer Disciples immediately straightened their backs.A middle-aged instructor slowly entered the enormous stone hall with his hands clasped behind him. His long grey robe swayed with each measured step, and although he wasn't releasing any aura, the hall instantly fell silent.No one dared whisper.No one dared move.Even Wang, who had been secretly nibbling on a steamed bun, hurriedly stuffed the rest into his mouth before anyone noticed.Unfortunately...Chi noticed."You couldn't wait until after class?"Wang whispered through a full mouth."I woke up hungry.""You woke up ten minutes ago.""I was cultivating.""You were snoring.""I cultivate differently."Chi rolled his eyes.Sawyer simply smiled before looking toward the front of the hall.The instructor stopped before a giant black stone board.His sharp eyes swept across the hundreds of new disciples."I am Instructor Rowan.""My responsibil
Chapter 77 - Worst Residence
Rainwater splashed onto Sawyer's face.Drip.Drip.Drip.He slowly opened his eyes.Another cold drop landed on his forehead before rolling down his cheek.For a brief moment, he simply stared at the ceiling.There was a hole in it.Actually...There were several.The previous night's rain had found every crack in the old roof, turning the room into something resembling a leaking cave rather than a disciple's residence.Across the room, Wang was not nearly as calm."What kind of place is this?!"He jumped off his bed after another stream of water soaked his blanket.The old wooden frame groaned beneath his weight before one of the legs finally snapped.Crack!The bed collapsed completely.Wang landed flat on the floor.Silence.Chi looked over from his own bed."...Are you alright?""No."Wang lay there for another few seconds before pointing accusingly at the ceiling."This house is trying to kill me."Even Sawyer couldn't help smiling.The previous day, Luther and his followers had
