An entry-level disciple daring to publicly command a protector to kneel, who does he think he is?
While the identity of an Elder's disciple carries a degree of nobility, it still falls short when facing a protector. Unless one is a True Disciple, then perhaps they could arrogantly stand before a protector.
But even so, it would never be possible to command a protector to kneel.
Because in terms of cultivation, even the slightly inferior True Disciples are at the same level as protectors, both being Late Stage Great Sword Masters.
Moreover, there are a few very exceptional True Disciples who possess only the realm of Middle Stage Great Sword Master.
The advancement of a Sect's True Disciple has never been solely based on cultivation level. If one does not meet the requirements for advancing to True Disciple, even achieving Sword Saint Cultivation would only qualify them to be an Elder in the Sect.
Not a True Disciple.
