Qin Chuan simply disliked this young man. Since he was like this, he'd teach him a lesson. Someone who didn't know how to respect others had no reason to be respected.
Qin Chuan didn't intend to kill him; it wasn't necessary. Besides, he couldn't afford to offend the Sun Moon Sect now, and this wasn't a matter that warranted killing.
"You...you..."
The ashen-faced disciple's expression was ashen, incredibly ugly. He charged at Qin Chuan, thinking he'd been careless, and struck directly at him with a palm.
It was an angry attack, and he held no back; he wanted to kill Qin Chuan, provided he could. At least from the young man's heart, he was determined to kill.
As a disciple of the Sun Moon Sect, a formal disciple, his status was noble, far superior to those who came for the assessment. Those who came for the assessment were all respectful, even if they were scolded, they would still greet them with smiles, saying nice things and flattering them.
But Qin Chuan had directly humiliated him, which enraged him.
Bang!
Qin Chuan struck again, another casual punch, colliding directly with the young man's fist.
Qin Chuan didn't move, and the young man from the Sun Moon Sect was sent flying again, rolling around like a gourd, getting up covered in dust but unharmed.
However, he was utterly humiliated, his face ashen.
"I wonder if I passed?" Qin Chuan asked with a smile.
"No!" the young man gritted his teeth.
"Oh, I've beaten you into a rolling gourd, and you still don't pass?" Qin Chuan wasn't angry; he could tell the young man was deliberately preventing him from passing.
But when the young man said no, his voice was soft, unclear, and fast, clearly indicating he didn't want others to hear.
However, the commotion was quite loud, attracting the attention of many.
"You, I said I didn't pass, and that's final," the young man said smugly, head held high.
Qin Chuan smiled and looked at him without speaking, but at that moment, a voice came from behind him.
"Since when have you been able to dictate the rules set by the Sun and Moon Sect?"
The young man trembled, turning around to see a middle-aged man looking at him sternly. The young man was so frightened that he immediately knelt down. "Elder, I was wrong, I was just joking..."
"This is none of your business. Pack your things and go to the outer sect!" the man said, shaking his head.
"Elder, I was wrong, give me a chance, give me another chance, I'll never dare to do it again." The young man's voice was choked with sobs.
"Outer sect, or leave the Sun and Moon Sect." The man's voice was devoid of emotion. The
young man's voice trailed off. He slowly rose and walked away, but as he passed Qin Chuan, the coldness in his eyes was intense.
This made Qin Chuan very uncomfortable. Although he wasn't intimidated, he didn't like being looked at like that. But it was for the best. He had felt a little guilty about this incident, which had reduced the young man from an inner disciple to an outer disciple.
But now, none of that was there. This kind of person didn't deserve pity.
Qin Chuan naturally passed and proceeded to the second test. There were far fewer people here, since half had been eliminated in the first test.
The second test here will eliminate half of them again. News of what happened before has spread, so many of the Sun Moon Sect disciples have become less arrogant.
Plus, they might encounter promising talents in the second test, who could potentially shine in the Sun Moon Sect in the future. Making friends now will benefit them later.
The second test is similar to the first, just another selection process, but this time it's more rigorous. Although it seems like the second test could easily replace the first, skipping the first one entirely
, this second test isn't just about strength; it also tests the application of techniques. The first
test was purely about strength, while the second tests practical combat ability and the application of martial arts.
Therefore, the Sun Moon Sect disciples here are stronger, and the examinees must fight at least twenty moves. If they can defeat a Sun Moon Sect disciple, they pass the test directly.
If they can't, then the Sun Moon Sect disciples decide whether they pass or not.
Qin Chuan felt he had to pass because of his previous actions, which led to that Sun Moon Sect disciple being sent to the outer sect and, to some extent, causing the Sun Moon Sect to lose face.
So, regardless of whether these people would give him a hard time due to the elders' hints, Qin Chuan had to defeat them; there was no room for maneuver, and he had to pass the test.
Qin Chuan stepped onto the martial arts platform, looking at the young man opposite him.
The man was calm, his eyes indifferent, and nodded slightly to Qin Chuan, indicating that he could take the test.
Qin Chuan nodded in return; before coming up, everyone was of a higher rank.
The battle began. Qin Chuan used the Dragon Fist again, without any fancy moves, but he suppressed his strength. He didn't want to reward the Sun Moon Sect disciples; although he wasn't afraid of offending people, he didn't want to offend them unnecessarily.
Bang bang…
The battle wasn't intense. Qin Chuan's Dragon Fist punches grew more ferocious with each strike, amplified by the power of the World's Might. However, Qin Chuan suppressed his strength; otherwise, a full-force punch might not have been enough to save the Sun Moon Sect disciple's life.
Qin Chuan relentlessly attacked the Sun Moon Sect disciple, each punch growing stronger than the last. The disciple was exhausted from parrying and, with each move, was beginning to falter.
"Pass!"
the Sun Moon Sect disciple announced directly.
"Thank you!"
The disciple knew Qin Chuan was holding back. He didn't know the full extent of Qin Chuan's strength, but he knew that if he tried to make things difficult, he would only embarrass himself, as it wasn't within his power's constraints.
If their strengths were roughly equal, as long as he could suppress Qin Chuan, he could control him within his authority.
Qin Chuan moved on to the third stage.
The fourth stage!
Soon, Qin Chuan reached the later stages of the competition. He was at the eighth level of the Void Realm, but was placed below the Void Perfection Realm and above the seventh level.
This meant Qin Chuan's opponents were all at the seventh to ninth level of the Void Realm.
The competition began, and Qin Chuan easily defeated his opponents without any suspense, all within three moves, regardless of who they were. He passed quickly, and even the elders of the Sun Moon Sect looked at Qin Chuan with shining eyes.
A promising talent!
Qin Chuan's performance was dazzling, and barring any major surprises, he will almost certainly enter the Sun and Moon Sect. As for which sect he will join, that will depend on the wishes of the sect's leaders and Qin Chuan himself.
Although Qin Chuan's competition has ended, many others are still competing. Many exceptionally talented individuals have already been selected.
The competition lasted for three days.
After repeated competitions, only about a hundred people remained. These people were, in principle, to join the sect, but until the very last step, it wasn't certain, as some might only be able to enter the outer sect.
The difference between the inner and outer sects is only one word, but the outcome is worlds apart.
