At that moment, Elder Yunyun's gaze shifted slightly as she gracefully stepped forward, a smile on her face as she regarded Wei Chen. "Wei Chen, would you be willing to join my Flower Soul Lineage? We have a Brahma Flower that was born under a lightning strike, and it needs someone to care for it."
"I am willing," Wei Chen replied eagerly. Under Elder Yunyun's protection, he could at least survive and continue his cultivation!
"Elder Yun, are you trying to poach from our Alchemy Path?" Song He glared with a fierce look in his eyes, his wrinkled face radiating coldness.
"According to the rules, when a Registered Disciple is promoted to an Outer Sect Disciple, each lineage selects disciples based on their Spirit of the Heroic Soul attributes. If Elder Song leads the way in breaking the rules to snatch someone, why can’t I?"
Yun Yun turned to Elder Wei Yunlong of the Wind Thunder Lineage, her lips moving as she communicated silently.
Wei Yunlong's expression changed dramatically, revealing a serious demeanor as he clasped his fists toward Song He. "Elder Song, please bear with me. It is my final decision for this child to join the Flower Soul Lineage."
"Unappreciative!" Song He waved his long sleeves and tucked his hands into them, casting a cold glance at Wei Chen, Wei Yunlong, and Yun Yun before turning away in silence, breathing heavily and focusing inward.
The other elders watched quietly, none willing to offend Song He. He controlled the medicinal resources of the Cloud Spirit Sect; crossing him would lead to dire consequences.
What remained unclear was what benefits Elder Yunyun had promised Wei Yunlong that made him give up one hundred Soul Nourishing Pills.
These elders were seasoned individuals; although Wei Chen had decent talent, he was certainly not worth such a high price for contention. The underlying reasons were intriguing.
"Wei Chen, rise. Welcome to our Flower Soul Lineage. I hope you will work hard in your cultivation and bring glory to us," Elder Yunyun said. At just forty years old, she was charming and alluring, having captivated many within the Cloud Spirit Sect.
Wei Chen did not rise; instead, he knelt before Elder Yunyun and spoke earnestly, "Elder, I wish to invoke a special exception from the Cloud Spirit Sect and challenge someone to a duel!"
"Good lad! To challenge an Inner Sect Disciple right after becoming an Outer Sect Disciple—what a face-lift for our Flower Soul Lineage! Approved!"
Cloud Spirit Sect has a special provision that allows disciples to request a duel with a higher-ranked disciple or even a lower-ranked one at the time of their promotion.
However, since this special provision was enacted, there has never been a case of someone challenging a lower-ranked disciple.
People care about their reputation, just as trees care about their bark.
Wei Chen bowed again but shook his head, saying, "Elder, the one I wish to duel is not an Inner Sect Disciple."
"Could it be a Core Disciple? Are you looking for trouble?" Yun Yun said, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration for Wei Chen's boldness. While duels cannot result in death, few dare to seek out trouble for themselves.
"Not that either." Wei Chen felt a bit awkward, but he could not tolerate Wang Cai insulting Weirou, so he did not hesitate any longer: "I request to duel with Registered Disciple Wang Cai."
Elder Yunyun opened her mouth but said nothing.
Elder Wei Yunlong looked disappointed, thinking that this disciple was not worth cultivating.
Song He mocked as he observed the stunned Yun Yun: "Elder Yunyun, your Flower Soul Lineage has really picked up a good treasure."
"You don't need to worry about it," Yun Yun replied without even glancing at Song He. She walked over to Wei Chen, helped him up, and a fragrant scent wafted into his nostrils.
Wei Chen's heart raced suddenly; the beauty of Elder Yunyun was incomparable to that of any young girl. Being this close to her for the first time made his face flush.
"Fellow, you're still shy. I don't oppose you seeking revenge, but you should handle this privately. There's no need to waste the special provision of the Cloud Spirit Sect," Yun Yun said gently with a smile.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Chen made another decision: "Then please allow me to challenge Inner Sect Disciple Zhao Song."
“Zhao Song? That’s someone from the Beast Soul Line,” Yun Yun said, glancing at Elder Zhao Wuji of the Beast Soul Line.
Zhao Wuji clearly had no idea about the feud between Wei Chen and Zhao Song. He frowned and said, “Zhao Song is a distant relative of our Zhao Family, with a strength at the third level of the Refined Realm. He is not someone you can challenge.”
“But if you insist, I have no reason to oppose you.” Zhao Wuji fixed his gaze on Wei Chen, thinking that this young man was simply courting death.
Zhao Song's strength was not particularly strong among the Inner Sect Disciples, but he was still not someone Wei Chen could challenge!
“Thank you, Elder Zhao. I insist on challenging Zhao Song.”
“Granted. According to the Cloud Spirit Sect's special rules, today is for selection, and tomorrow is for challenges. You may prepare to go.”
Zhao Wuji did not care about Wei Chen challenging his distant grandson; he thought that Wei Chen could not possibly be Zhao Song's opponent.
Wei Chen bowed to Yun Yun and left the Cloud Spirit Tower.
The ten elders did not focus their attention on Wei Chen any longer, each lost in their thoughts as they awaited the next disciple.
“What did Elder Yun Yun promise Elder Wei to make him give up a hundred Soul Nourishing Pills? That’s quite a debt he owes.”
Guided by an outer sect disciple dressed in black, Wei Chen received his black robe and token. He did not linger and hurried towards the testing point, searching for Wang Cai and a few others.
“That brat is still around; he really has some guts!”
Wei Chen coldly walked towards Wang Cai.
Wang Cai noticed Wei Chen approaching, but he appeared completely unconcerned.
"Wei Chen, I never expected you to become an outer disciple. However, in front of me, Wang Cai, you have no right to be arrogant! Whether in the Cloud Spirit Sect or the Sui Kingdom, your Wei Family can only be trampled underfoot by my Wang Family!"
Wang Cai spoke with confidence. The Wang Family was one of the most prominent families in the Sui Kingdom, flourishing with numerous branches. Within the Cloud Spirit Sect alone, there were over a dozen outer disciples and three Inner Sect Disciples from the Wang Family. Even the current head of the Wang Family, Wang Jian, was a core disciple and a top talent in the Cloud Spirit Sect!
With so many members of the Wang Family backing him, Wang Cai felt no fear towards Wei Chen.
"Shut up!"
Wei Chen snapped back, his figure flashing to Wang Cai's side in an instant. With a loud slap, a five-fingered mountain appeared on Wang Cai's face.
"You can insult me, but you cannot insult my sister!"
Wei Chen unleashed a flurry of strikes. Before Wang Cai could react, he received dozens of slaps to both sides of his face, blood streaming from his mouth and nose as his cheeks swelled up like a pig's head.
"You... how dare you hit me?" Wang Cai stammered. But Wei Chen was already channeling his Soul Power into his fist and delivered a fierce blow to Wang Cai's mouth.
With a crunch, Wang Cai's jaw dislocated, and several bloody teeth flew out. He grunted a few times before collapsing to the ground, unconscious.
"From now on, anyone who insults my sister will face consequences far worse than what Wang Cai just experienced."
