Chapter 253 - Inner Court Disciple Examination After Min Li left, Yuan went back inside his house and returned to training his Divine Sense. However, not even an hour later, he could hear the door being knocked on again. "Who is it this time?" Yuan mumbled as he went to open the door. "Are you Disciple Yuan?" A middle-aged woman wearing sect elder robes stood outside his door this time. "Yes, I am." Yuan nodded. "I am here to notify you that the Inner Court Disciple Examination will begin tomorrow morning, and you must be present at Jade Peak before sunrise or you’ll automatically fail. Do you have any questions for me?" "Jade Peak before sunrise, right? I will be there. Thank you." Yuan said to the sect elder. The sect elder left the place shortly later. After leaving Yuan’s place, the sect elder sighed to herself, " This is my first time notifying a disciple in such a manner. What am I? Some kind of messenger? However, this is an order from a high-ranking elder, so I have no choice but to do it..." Yuan returned to his room afterward, and he mumbled, "Inner Court disciple, huh? I kind of want to experience life as an Outer Court disciple some more, but I don’t really know if there’s anything else I can do as an Outer Court disciple that an Inner Court disciple cannot do..." "Brother Yuan is an abnormal existence. Even though you have the title of an Outer Court disciple, you don’t really get treated like one, and you’re already too powerful to experience the struggle that other Outer Court disciples must endure." Xiao Hua said to him. "Is that so? But there’s nothing I can do about that... What a pity..." Yuan sighed. "Once Brother Yuan travels to the upper heavens where there are more geniuses, you might be able to experience the struggle some people go through— or not... since I highly doubt someone as talented as Brother Yuan would struggle in anything that’s related to cultivation..." "Anyways, I’ll participate in this examination and become an Inner Court disciple tomorrow. For now, let’s continue focusing on training my Divine Sense." Thus, Yuan returned to his training. Once the sun began setting, Yuan logged off the game and waited for Meixiu to return. Of course, he tried to activate his Divine Sense again but to no avail. After dinner, he said to her, "Meixiu, I’m going to stay in the game tonight since there will be an event early tomorrow morning, and I don’t want to wake you up earlier than you already do." "It’s fine. I don’t mind. Your health is more important to me. When do you need to enter the game?" Meixiu asked him. "Are you sure? I can just stay in the game. It’s not my first time doing this, anyways. Of course, Yu Rou approved of this as well." "If the Young Lady also allowed it then..." Meixiu said, then she continued after a brief pause, "What about breakfast? You’ll miss breakfast at this rate..." "It’s only one meal, I’ll be fine. Furthermore, I’ll be in the game, so I won’t really feel any hunger." "I understand. Then goodnight, Yuan." "Goodnight." After Yuan went inside the game, Meixiu went to do her own things before falling asleep. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶 Inside the game, Yuan proceeded to spend the entire night training his Divine Sense. "Brother Yuan, your Divine Sense’s range has increased by almost a dozen meters since you began training. At this rate, it won’t be long before you surpass me, Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua said. "You’re exaggerating, Xiao Hua. It’ll take me years before I can catch up to you..." Yuan sighed. Xiao Hua looked at Yuan and blinked her eyes in a dazed manner. If Yuan had managed to reach the peak of Spirit Warrior in just a few weeks as a mortal who has never cultivated before, one can only imagine what he could achieve in a few years! Perhaps he might even ascend to the highest heaven and stand at the peak of this universe! Xiao Hua suddenly turned to look at the window and said, "Brother Yuan, it’s almost sunrise." "Oh, right! I almost forgot! Thank you for reminding me, Xiao Hua!" Once Xiao Hua entered the necklace, Yuan made his way to the Jade Peak that was only a couple of minutes away if he ran. Meanwhile, at the Jade Peak, there were already over a hundred Outer Court disciples gathered there, all of them preparing to take the Inner Court Disciple Examination. And just minutes before the sun fully rises, Yuan arrives at the Jade Peak, being the last person there. With that being said, since almost everybody there arrived hours earlier in advance with some even having slept there through the night in fear of missing the examination, Yuan was destined to be the last to arrive. The other disciples there frowned when they saw Yuan arriving right before the deadline. In their eyes, it was because Yuan couldn’t care enough about the examination, hence why he was acting so carefree. "Che! Why is someone like that participating in the examination? He’s looking down on all of us with his carefree attitude!" "Right?! Look at his casual-looking face! It’s like he’s taking a stroll in a park or something!" "Forget about him. People like that won’t make it through half of the examination. In other words, he won’t become an Inner Court disciple." "Hmph! I have engraved his face into my soul! Just wait until I become an Inner Court disciple! I’ll be sure to teach him a lesson or two about his behavior!" To these Outer Court disciples that have trained for years and endured countless trials to reach this point, becoming an Inner Court disciple is something profoundly significant and honorable with the Inner Court Disciple Examination being the sacred path that will lead them to that position, and for someone to act so nonchalant in this sacred exam was a blasphemy, even a slap at their faces!
