"Slap!"
There was a wave of Profound Qi, and the aura was overbearing. Then, a crisp sound of a slap was heard.
Immediately after, Zheng Mingzhou, who was still overjoyed, felt a burning sensation on his face, as if he had been scalded by a pair of fire tongs.
At the same time, Zheng Mingzhou even felt that the left side of his face had been smashed. A huge force landed on his face like a thunderbolt.
"Pfft …"
His teeth loosened, and blood was spat out along with his teeth. Zheng Mingzhou did not even have the time to scream before his body was sent flying. He was like a kite with a broken string. He flew dozens of feet away, and then landed heavily on the square, causing the ground to shake.
"Ah …"
When Zheng Mingzhou landed on the ground, he let out a miserable cry. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and half of his face was already swollen like a pig's head. His face, which was already fat, was now swollen like a super big bun.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. It was a dead silence.
All of the surrounding young men and women, including Zhou Yinger, could clearly see that when faced with Zheng Mingzhou, who was at the peak of the Nirvana Realm in the Martial Lord Realm, the purple-robed young man only raised his hand and sent Zheng Mingzhou flying with a simple slap.
He sent Zheng Mingzhou flying with a single slap. It was a simple and clean move.
As disciples of the Ancient Heaven Sect, how could they be simple? Even if they were not inner sect disciples, they were still geniuses in the outside world. Naturally, they knew how strong the strength was needed to send Zheng Mingzhou flying with a slap.
To do this, it was definitely not something that could be done simply by being slightly stronger than Zheng Mingzhou. Even those at the peak of the complete Martial Lord Realm would find it difficult to do so.
But now, the purple-robed young man in front of them had done it. Moreover, he had done it so casually and cleanly.
Zheng Mingzhou crawled up and covered half of his face. The almost invisible gaze on his swollen face was filled with shock and fear. Then, it was filled with hatred and resentment.
At this moment, Zheng Mingzhou's mood was completely different from before. It was as if he had fallen from heaven to hell.
Originally, Zheng Mingzhou wanted to show off in front of the beauty, but he did not expect to be humiliated instead. Everything was ruined, so how could he just let it go?
"Brat, just you wait. I won't let you go. Just you wait …"
Zheng Mingzhou covered his face with his hand as blood dripped from his mouth. Then, he turned around and left.
As for making a move, Zheng Mingzhou naturally did not dare to do so. Although he was resentful, it did not mean that he was a fool. The other party was able to send him flying with a single slap. The other party's strength was already there for all to see. If Zheng Mingzhou were to make a move, he would only be asking for humiliation.
Seeing Zheng Mingzhou leave, the dozen or so youths from the Crouching Tiger Society looked at each other. None of them dared to stay behind. Immediately, they retreated and left.
They were afraid that when the purple-robed youth was in a bad mood, he would slap each of them.
Zhou Yinger didn't know if she was frightened or shocked, but her bright eyes were a little dazed.
Du Shaofu did not pay attention to the astonished and frightened gazes around him. He walked toward the School Affairs Office's window and said to the twenty-eight or twenty-nine year old youth, "I'm a new disciple. I'm here to receive my badge and sect plate."
Inside the window, the twenty-eight or twenty-nine year old youth looked at Du Shaofu. After being shocked for a while, he recovered and immediately asked Du Shaofu, "What's your name? How old are you? Are you a martial cultivator or a Spiritual Symbol Master? If you're a martial cultivator, you'll receive medicinal pills to strengthen your Profound Qi and other necessities every month. As for Spiritual Symbol Masters, they'll receive medicinal pills to strengthen their Spiritual Soul Strength and other necessities."
The School Affairs Office's responsibility did not include getting to the bottom of things. Although the Munchū was not recruiting new disciples, this youth was a little curious as to why someone would come to receive their sect plate and badge at this time.
However, since the person was already in the Munchū, there was naturally a reason. This was not under the jurisdiction of this youth. Naturally, there was no need for him to continue asking. It would not be good if he offended someone behind the scenes.
To be able to enter the sect at this time, one had to have some relationship with someone in the Munchū.
"My name is Du Shaofu. I'm not even eighteen yet. I'm a Spiritual Symbol Master."
Du Shaofu raised his eyebrows and replied. Between a martial cultivator and a Spiritual Symbol Master, the latter would receive medicinal pills to strengthen their Spiritual Soul Strength and other necessities every month. Du Shaofu naturally did not hesitate to choose a Spiritual Symbol Master.
Originally, Du Shaofu wanted to say that he was not only a Spiritual Symbol Master, but also a martial cultivator. However, when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back down. He felt that it would not be good to be too high-profile.
Hearing Du Shaofu's words, the young man raised his head and looked at Du Shaofu again in surprise. Du Shaofu's aura that sent Zheng Mingzhou flying with a slap didn't seem like a Talisman Master.
"Okay, your information has been registered. This is your badge and sect token. Drip your Spiritual Soul Strength and you will be able to activate them. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask your Senior Brothers and Sisters."
After the youth finished speaking, he handed over the Ancient Heaven Sect's badge and an antique jade token. The engravings on them flickered with a gentle luster.
"Many thanks."
Du Shaofu took the badge and sect token and put them away. Then he turned around and looked around. Finally, he asked a youth behind him, "May I ask how to get to the Tian Mu Peak?"
The youth looked to be in his twenties. He was very thin and not very tall. He looked a little sallow and emaciated.
If it wasn't for the fact that cultivators didn't need to eat much after reaching a certain level of cultivation, people might even suspect that he had been abused by the Ancient Heaven Sect and didn't have enough to eat.
The youth looked at Du Shaofu. On his thin face, there was a hint of shock in his clear eyes. Then he smiled, wanting to get closer to Du Shaofu. He said, "This new Junior Brother, do you not know how to get to the Tian Mu Peak? I'll take you there."
"Didn't you have to line up to get your daily necessities from the Munchū?" Du Shaofu was puzzled. After he left, it was this guy's turn to line up.
The thin youth was very enthusiastic. He pulled Du Shaofu's hand and left. He said, "It's okay. It's the same if I come tomorrow. I'll take you to the Tian Mu Peak first."
Du Shaofu couldn't say anything else. He could only follow the thin youth.
Zhou Yinger stood there in a daze. A few young men stood behind her and looked at Du Shaofu's back. Their bodies were trembling.
"So he's called Du Shaofu. He's a Spiritual Talisman Master."
"He's not even eighteen, but he's already so powerful. It's really unbelievable. He's probably comparable to those guys in the inner sect."
Zhou Yinger looked at the back of the youth with a broadsword on his back as he left. After a long time, a trace of coldness flashed in her bright eyes. She bit her red lips and said softly, "You dare to treat me like this? I'll definitely not let you off. There will be a day when it'll be too late for you to regret it!"
Within the Ancient Heaven Sect, Du Shaofu was led to the Tian Mu Peak by the enthusiastic thin youth. Along the way, Du Shaofu learned a lot about the Ancient Heaven Sect from the enthusiastic thin youth.
From the thin youth, Du Shaofu learned that the thin youth was called Gu Zhangyou. In the Munchū, he was known as the 'Skinny Monkey'. He was also a Spiritual Talisman Master. However, his main cultivation was Alchemy Talisman Master and his secondary cultivation was Weapon Talisman Master.
However, for some unknown reason, Gu Zhangyou's talent was mediocre. Although he was an Alchemy Talisman Master, he didn't have many achievements in alchemy. It was said that even though he was a Five Star Mysterious Realm cultivator, he often made mistakes when refining Spiritual Grade Elixirs.
If it weren't for his identity as a Spiritual Talisman Master, Gu Zhangyou wouldn't even be able to become an outer sect disciple of the Ancient Heaven Sect.
From Gu Zhangyou, Du Shaofu learned that the Ancient Heaven Sect was roughly divided into two regions, the inner sect region and the outer sect region.
There were countless outer sect disciples in the Ancient Heaven Sect. They were spread across many places in the Central Plains. Naturally, there were even more places under the Ancient Heaven Sect's control.
However, the number of young outer sect disciples who stayed in the Ancient Heaven Sect was much smaller. There were only about a hundred thousand of them.
There were more than a hundred thousand Outer Sect disciples in the younger generation. This number was enough for Du Shaofu to be flabbergasted.
Any outer sect disciple was a genius in the outside world. However, there were so many of them in the Ancient Heaven Sect.
However, the number of inner sect disciples in the Ancient Heaven Sect was much smaller. It was said that every year, the Ancient Heaven Sect would select a few outer sect disciples to become inner sect disciples. The Ancient Heaven Sect had a total of eight assessment sites. In each site, less than a hundred people would be selected to become inner sect disciples.
Those who had outstanding results would be taken in by the elders and experts in the sect. They would be heavily nurtured.
However, out of the hundred thousand outer sect disciples every year, less than eight hundred would have a chance to become inner sect disciples. There wasn't even a one percent chance. This was enough to show how difficult it was.
As for outer sect disciples, they only had two chances to take the assessment in their lifetime. After that, they would never be able to become inner sect disciples.
"Junior Brother Du Shaofu, the person you beat up today is someone from the Crouching Tiger Society. You have to be careful in the future. The people from the Crouching Tiger Society are not to be trifled with. They definitely won't let you off easily." Gu Zhangyou explained the situation in the Ancient Heaven Sect while reminding Du Shaofu to be wary of the Crouching Tiger Society.
"What's the background of the Crouching Tiger Society? Is it very strong?"
"The contents of the new volume 'Ancient Heaven Ming Yang'. Originally, the contents of the first few chapters should have been divided into volumes. However, I've been thinking about how to better write the contents of this volume. This is also the beginning of the Central Plains. Today, I finally came up with the outline of this volume. Xiao Yu continued to write. "
