Even when sects train their disciples, they make them work like cattle for three years in the Outer Sect. The leaders of the Heroic Assembly aren't saints, so how could they selflessly train others?
Under normal circumstances, the Dawn Association truly doesn't exploit its members by collecting fees and such.
But when others discover ancient ruins or a Treasure Land and invite you to explore it with them, it's no longer a free ride.
To put it bluntly, this organization was just a group of hired thugs for some Inner Sect experts. They'd give you a few benefits to keep you around, and when they found ruins or a Treasure Land that needed manpower to explore, they'd have you charge into the fray.
It sounded more high-class than the Dawn Association, but in essence, it was the same. They could claim it wasn't compulsory, but when ancient ruins or an unknown Treasure Land really appeared, who wouldn't be tempted?
Well, Xu Yang wasn't tempted. He wouldn't do anything adventurous.
