Chapter 418: Hidden Cancer - Eliminated!
Even if a martial artist possessed extraordinary talent, the path of martial cultivation would eventually lose much of its meaning if they had no powerful opponents to challenge them.
On the other hand, a worthy opponent could ignite a martial artist’s fighting spirit, sharpen their will, and force their hidden potential to emerge at a much faster speed.
For Li Yun, strong opponents were never something to fear.
What he truly feared was having no opponents at all.
After that, more and more geniuses appeared before Li Yun and the others.
Although none of these people seemed to be on the same level as Xue Wuyan or Princess Yuehan, there were still several geniuses whose strength and talent were only slightly inferior to theirs. Each of them possessed a powerful aura, and many of them carried the confidence of people who had been raised in great prefectures with deep foundations.
After a long while, under Jian Wuchen’s lead, the group finally arrived at their temporary accommodation.
The place arranged for them was extremely remote. It stood in a quiet corner far away from the livelier areas, and the conditions were also very simple. There were only five ordinary tents set up on a bare patch of land.
However, there was nothing they could do about it. The Southern Martial Domain was the weakest among the regions sending disciples, and it ranked at the very bottom among all the territories under the Heavenly Sword Sect’s control. Since their background was weak, the treatment they received was naturally far inferior to that of the stronger prefectures.
"Alright. Although the environment is rather simple, you will have to make do for now."
Jian Wuchen looked at Li Yun and the others, then said in a calm voice, "Next, you will have half a month to rest and prepare. Once half a month passes, the sect assessment will officially begin."
"The sect assessment is divided into three parts. The first is the aptitude test, the second is the comprehension test, and the third is the combat test. The specific rules will be explained to you later. In short, among the five hundred participants, only fifty will ultimately become official Outer Sect Disciples. As for the rest, they will either be placed among the Preparatory Disciples or sent directly back to where they came from. Because of that, you must not take this assessment lightly."
"In addition, during these two weeks, you may visit the Hall of Rare Treasures. The Hall of Rare Treasures can be considered one of the benefits provided by the sect. There are many valuable items inside, and they can either be purchased with Spirit Stones or obtained by completing special missions. Of course, those missions will not be easy, but you can still go there and try your luck."
After saying this, Jian Wuchen looked specifically at Li Yun and said, "Li Yun, if you need Spirit Stones, I can lend you some."
Jian Wuchen had always thought highly of Li Yun. In his opinion, Li Yun’s potential was extraordinary, and as long as nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely obtain a place in the Heavenly Sword Sect in the future. Since that was the case, Jian Wuchen naturally did not mind offering him some help now, treating it as an early investment.
As for Su Fengyan, Huang Chen, Li Hao, and the others, they clearly did not receive the same treatment.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Jian, but there is no need. I still have some savings with me," Li Yun said as he shook his head.
He was not pretending to be polite. He was truly not lacking money.
Before the Huge Boulder in his family shattered, it had produced high-grade Spirit Stones for more than ten days, and the total number had already exceeded a hundred. Li Yun had brought all of those Spirit Stones with him when he left, so his current wealth was quite substantial.
More than a hundred high-grade Spirit Stones might not be shocking to an Inner Sect Disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but to an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple, it was already a considerable fortune.
"Alright."
Seeing that Li Yun refused, Jian Wuchen did not insist. He merely nodded.
At that moment, a golden talisman suddenly flashed in his palm, and his expression changed slightly.
A moment later, he looked at Li Yun and sent him a quiet qi transmission. "Li Yun, the matter you were worried about has already been resolved."
Li Yun’s eyes moved slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Jian Wuchen continued through qi transmission, "You were right about that person. Not long after you left for the Eastern Martial Domain, Mo Xuanyu appeared above your family estate with obvious ill intentions. Fortunately, you had already foreseen this possibility and asked one of us to remain hidden in your family for a week. In the end, Mo Xuanyu was killed before he could cause any real damage. You can now cultivate here with peace of mind."
Li Yun’s expression softened, and he sincerely replied, "Thank you, Senior Brother Jian."
Before leaving, Li Yun had not been able to find Mo Xuanyu during the three days he had available. Because of this, he had eventually shared his concern with the envoys of the Heavenly Sword Sect. He had told them that if an enemy of his were to take advantage of his absence and target his family, he would not be able to leave for the Eastern Martial Domain in peace.
In the end, one of the senior brothers agreed to secretly remain in the Li Family for a short period of time.
As Li Yun had expected, Mo Xuanyu truly attacked the Li Family after he left. However, because Li Yun had already made preparations in advance, Mo Xuanyu’s plan failed before it could begin, and he was killed by the senior brother hiding within the Li Family.
"Good. Take care of yourself here."
Jian Wuchen smiled, then turned and left.
