Strength Is the King
Strength was everything!
Qin Yichen had long understood this point. In fact, it was not just the Taihao Sacred Ground. The other Sacred Grounds followed the same model. Without competition, there would be no pressure. Without pressure, how could one become stronger?!
Only in an environment filled with cruel competition could a true expert be born!
Otherwise, how could the Sacred Grounds have stood on this mainland for so long?!
"Bada!"
After everyone placed the Divine Jade on the crystal to sense it, Old Hua, who was sitting in front of the table, lowered his head and made intimate contact with the table. Before anyone could react, a sound of snoring could be heard.
"Ahem, alright, that's enough. If there's anything you don't understand, come and find me. Rest up and prepare for a new life!"
As if he was afraid of disturbing Old Hua, Yu Liang did not say anything else. After saying a few words in a low voice, he bowed to the snoring Old Hua and left.
More than twenty young geniuses from various empires who had just entered the Sacred Grounds looked at each other. In the end, they did not dare to make any noise and walked out of the Xihao Palace.
What made this batch of newcomers feel helpless was that they realized that even a place to rest had to be exchanged with contribution points!
These houses were divided into four grades: A, B, C, and D.
The houses near the edge of the four halls, where the True Yuan was thin, were classified as D grade and required one contribution point a day. The slightly better C grade houses required five contribution points a day!
The B grade houses even cost fifty contribution points a day. As for the A grade houses, many of the newcomers did not dare to ask about them …
Looking at the pitiful number on the Divine Jade, Qin Yichen lamented in his heart. A dignified Pill Saint had actually fallen to such a state!
In the end, Li Yuanba chose a C grade house that could accommodate two people and stayed with Qin Yichen for the time being.
Just as Qin Yichen was about to rest, he noticed Li Yuanba's impatient look. He knew that Mu Yanzhen wasn't here, and after seeing so many powerhouses earlier, this guy must be itching to find someone to spar with …
"Qin Yichen, do you want to go out for a walk? Hehe, I wonder if the Martial Battle Hall of the Sacred Grounds will be very lively."
Li Yuanba said to Qin Yichen with a silly smile. In his eyes, there was already a thirst for battle.
"Didn't the deacon tell you to stay in your room and rest?"
Qin Yichen rolled his eyes at Li Yuanba. When he saw Li Yuanba's blank expression, he couldn't help but sigh.
The warning went in one ear and out the other. Perhaps this guy's ears had an automatic shielding function. The deacon's warning didn't reach his ears at all.
In the end, Qin Yichen couldn't persuade Li Yuanba, nor did he want to. After resting for a while, he walked out of the house with Li Yuanba.
From their area, they had to pass through the D grade area to reach the Martial Battle Hall.
When they arrived at the D grade area, Qin Yichen and Li Yuanba slowed down their footsteps. In front of them, there was a large crowd. From the crowd, there were sounds of cursing and shouting.
Among them, there seemed to be a few voices. Qin Yichen had some impression of them. They seemed to be the people who had just entered the Sacred Grounds with them.
"Let's go and take a look …"
Looking at Li Yuanba's glowing eyes, Qin Yichen slapped his forehead. Then, the two of them walked toward the crowd.
When they got closer, they noticed that there were five to six outer court disciples in the middle of the crowd. Opposite them, there were three ashen-faced new disciples who had just entered the Sacred Grounds with Qin Yichen and Li Yuanba.
"Don't waste time, kid. Hand over your contribution points obediently. Think of it as your senior brother's payment for your first lesson in the Sacred Grounds."
A young man who looked to be in his late twenties grinned at the three new disciples. "I won't be too harsh on you. Leave three contribution points each so that you won't have to sleep outside on your first day."
It was obvious that the young man was the leader of the five or six outer sect disciples. Their auras were all high-level emperor realm cultivators, but their auras were far more stable than the three new disciples.
Of the three new disciples, two were advanced emperor realm and one was intermediate emperor realm. The difference in strength between the two groups was too great!
"Isn't that Yi Buzui? These new disciples are really unlucky to have met him. "
"Isn't that right? Yi Buzui always hooks up with people in the C and D grades just because he has a good senior brother. He's been in the Sacred Grounds for two years, but he's still robbing the new disciples …"
"Keep your voice down. Didn't we all go through the same thing? What's this? "
In the crowd, whispers could be heard from time to time. However, no one had any intention of stopping this situation.
After all, this kind of thing happened to them from time to time, let alone the new disciples of the Sacred Grounds!
In the Sacred Grounds, where strength was everything, no one would sympathize with you if you weren't strong enough!
Looking at the mocking faces, the faces of the three new students who had just entered the Holy Land were extremely gloomy. A month ago, they were still existences that were admired by countless people in their own Empire. However, after fighting with their lives on the line and finally emerging from the Empire's grand meeting with great difficulty, they had become the targets of wanton humiliation in the blink of an eye.
Although they had long expected such a situation to occur, this huge contrast still made them feel very uncomfortable in their hearts.
"I'll give you three breaths of time. If you don't hand over your contribution points, don't blame me for taking them myself!"
Seeing that the three new students were still not moving, Yi Buzui became a little impatient. Originally, he didn't care about this little bit of contribution points. Most importantly, he wanted to find a sense of superiority in District C and D. However, at this moment, these three new students were actually not listening to him. This made him a little angry.
"Haha, I have contribution points too. Senior brother, take mine first!"
Just as the three new disciples were about to take out their divine jades and hand over their contribution points, a loud laugh suddenly rang out.
"Who is it?!"
Yi Buzui's face darkened when he heard the voice. He swept his gaze across the crowd and looked in the direction of the voice's origin.
Following his gaze, the crowd immediately parted to form a path. Li Yuanba, who was excited, and Qin Yichen, who was covering his face with his hands, appeared at the end of the passage.
