Dragon Sect Disciples directly relocated the Sect to a dragon vein and, under the support of Demon Island, while other forces were still reorganizing ruins, a majestic Dragon Sect stood atop the largest dragon vein in Beijing, covering a thousand square miles!
Beneath a lofty mountain, there stood a massive mountain gate towering thirty meters high, carved with nine dragons playing with a pearl, radiating a domineering and grand aura!
Behind the mountain gate, there was a sparkling mountain path made of superior jade stretching over ten miles wide and thirty meters across, looking like a tremendous stream flowing downwards from the mountain top when viewed from the base.
At the end of the mountain road was the location of Dragon Sect, whose architectural style was built strictly according to Sect standards, with a giant Hua Xia dragon spiraling up at the central training ground!
One could say that this Dragon Sect fully possessed the Hua Xia style, integrating majesty and dominance naturally, inspiring a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
Inside the Council Hall of Dragon Sect, all the senior members gathered, with Chen Wuwei, the Sect Leader, sitting in the center, and Bai Yan half-closing his eyes on the side.
Initially, Bai Yan didn't want to come, but since this was the first formal meeting after the establishment of Dragon Sect, he had to show his face and follow the procedure.
"For the latest planning of Dragon Sect, I have laid it all out in front of you, take a look."
Chen Wuwei said to the other Stewards and elders.
"Sect Master, there are only twenty Core Disciples, yet nearly thirty percent of the cultivation resources are allocated to them. Isn't this somewhat unfair to the other two thousand Disciples?"
An elder, newly promoted and still unfamiliar with the situation of Dragon Sect, spoke up with blunt honesty.
The other Dragon Sect Elders' minds went blank; those twenty Disciples were Lord Bai Yan's students, and not to mention thirty percent, even a hundred percent would not be excessive!
"I feel it's very reasonable. Since it's a core class, naturally it should occupy a large portion of resources for cultivation."
"Yes, each Core Disciple is a Monk with exceptional Talent. We are investing in them now, and they will also reciprocate to Dragon Sect in the future."
"I agree with this arrangement."
…
The other elders, seeing Chen Wuwei's face turning gloomy, hurriedly echoed in agreement, fearing to anger the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder.
Once Bai Yan became angry, he merely needed to announce his departure from Dragon Sect, and the whole Sect would fall apart without needing any retaliatory actions.
"Master, this elder just brought it up and is not quite familiar with the situation of Dragon Sect."
Chen Wuwei quickly explained to Bai Yan.
"We hope for forgiveness from the Supreme Elder."
The other elders stood up and cupped their hands towards Bai Yan.
"What's going on?"
The straightforward elder quietly asked the person next to him.
"Haven't you been told after being promoted to elder? The identity of Core Class Disciples is only secondary to the Sect Leader, and they rank higher than us elders!"
Another elder explained quietly.
"But why? Why do Disciples rank higher than us elders?"
"Because the Core Class Disciples are Lord Bai Yan's students!"
The straightforward elder was dumbfounded on the spot, sweat beading his forehead.
He hadn't expected that a casual remark he made could involve Bai Yan.
"Forget it, the old master once made a rule that all decisions must be unanimously approved by all Dragon Sect Elders. Since you have issues with the resource allocation, let me show you why the Core Class occupies thirty percent of the resources of Dragon Sect."
Bai Yan opened his eyes and then instructed Chen Wuwei indifferently, "Issue the order, Core Disciples will accept challenges from all Dragon Sect Disciples on the training ground this afternoon. Those who succeed in the challenge can become Core Class Disciples."
"Understood!"
Chen Wuwei bowed and then conveyed the message down.
When the Dragon Sect Disciples learned of this news, they instantly erupted in excitement!
"Have you heard? If you can defeat a Core Disciple, you can join the Core Class and enjoy 30% of the entire Dragon Sect's cultivation resources with the other twenty disciples!"
"You don't get it, what's 30% resources? Being personally mentored by Elder Bai Yan, that's the most enticing part of the Core Class!"
"No way, I must defeat a Core Class Disciple in this afternoon's contest and join the Core Class."
"With your status as an Outer Sect Disciple? You want to defeat a student of Elder Bai Yan? Just give it a rest."
"Even a toad dreams of eating swan meat, am I not even allowed to dream?"
...
All Dragon Sect Disciples were rubbing their hands together, eager to try.
If one could become a student of Elder Bai Yan, their future would be boundless!
Meanwhile, the twenty Core Class Disciples gathered in front of Bai Yan.
"This is your first assessment. If anyone loses, they must willingly leave the Core Class."
Bai Yan instructed his twenty students.
"Please rest assured, teacher, we won't bring shame upon you."
The twenty students responded in unison.
Apart from Bai Yan, no one knew that the Core Class Disciples had already become demigod-level powerhouses, even more formidable than some of the Dragon Sect Elders.
In this era of the resurgence of Spiritual Artifacts, the terrifying talents of the Core Class Disciples were evident, their cultivation skyrocketing crazily, like riding on a rocket.
Especially Li Conglin, the Child of Destiny, who even without the favor of the Main Plane's Will, could rival gods by integrating Demon Power!
...
By the afternoon, all disciples, including the Elders, gathered in the training ground, all eyes fixed on the arena built beneath the giant dragon statue.
Today, anyone who wins on that arena will earn a lifetime of glory!
Chen Wuwei stood up, his gaze sweeping over all the disciples, and slowly said, "I believe you all know the reason why you have been summoned here, now I declare, the competition begins!"
"You go up first."
Bai Yan casually picked a student to send up to the arena, who was Li Wei, previously a mere illegitimate disciple from a minor Abnormal Family.
After being discovered by a Dragon Sect Elder, he was brought back to the Dragon Sect and joined the Core Class.
Since the Dragon Sect became the leading force of the Main Plane, Li Wei's family's status skyrocketed, standing above all other Abnormal Families, often receiving major families bearing gifts.
Li Wei's parents were revered like ancestors at home, even the Li Family Head dared not disrespect them.
Now, anyone who can establish a connection with Bai Yan, be they Abnormal or Monk, would ascend drastically in status, akin to the saying 'when one man gains the Dao, his chickens and dogs rise to heaven.'
"I'll be the first to gauge the strength of our Core Class brothers!"
Just as Li Wei landed on the arena, an A-level Inner Sect Disciple rushed ahead to the arena and greeted Li Wei with a bow.
"Since we are disciples of the same Sect, let's keep it to a friendly spar."
Li Wei gestured for the Inner Sect Disciple to proceed.
"Shocking Wind Palm is my family's Ultimate Skill, it's highly lethal, please be careful, senior brother!"
Before his words finished, the disciple directly used his trump card, attacking Li Wei.
Whereever it passed, the fierce wind howled, the momentum was extremely terrifying.
