Chapter 446: Chapter 443 Quarterly Assessment

Upon hearing this, Leng Wusheng and Ouyang Tie both silently shook their heads. Although Ye Xuan had the qualifications to challenge the elite disciples of the Inner Sect, the idea of him succeeding within two months was nearly impossible.

To become an elite disciple of the Inner Sect required passing multiple assessments and selections. Although Ye Xuan had astonishing potential, reaching that level in such a short period was highly unlikely.

"Alright, then I will be waiting to see your performance in two months."

Fei Yue slowly curled her lips into a smile. Truth be told, the condition she had set for Ye Xuan was indeed challenging, but Spirit Frost Pavilion was the territory of the Inner Sect Four Demons after all. If they allowed Ye Xuan in so easily, wouldn’t it mean in the future anyone could enter?

Without saying much more, Ye Xuan asked, "So, I can start cultivating here now, right?"

"No problem, nobody is using the several side palaces over there, you can pick any one of them."

Fei Yue had agreed to let Ye Xuan stay in the Spirit Frost Pavilion until he became an elite disciple of the Inner Sect, allowing him at least these two months to cultivate here.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan stopped talking and walked straight toward the several pavilions.

"Humph, this kid really doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. To become an elite disciple of the Inner Sect after just two months? Does he really think he is an unparalleled genius?"

Leng Wusheng sneered. Thinking back, it took him over two years after joining to become an elite disciple. If Ye Xuan succeeded in just two months, wouldn’t it mean he was ten times better than him?

"Shut up, if it weren’t for your incompetence, none of this would have happened."

Fei Yue glared fiercely at Leng Wusheng. If it weren’t for his defeat to Ye Xuan, none of these issues would have arisen.

Rebuked by Fei Yue, Leng Wusheng obediently closed his mouth. He felt quite wronged inside. It was all because that kid was too cunning, goading him to suppress his realm. Otherwise, with his Third Grade Martial Venerable cultivation, he could have defeated Ye Xuan in one move without giving him any chance to retaliate.

However, none of that mattered now. He wanted to see how Ye Xuan managed to become an elite disciple of the Inner Sect within two months. If he failed, Ye Xuan’s fate would still be to be ignominiously ousted. For now, the latter could merely linger a few more days in the Spirit Frost Pavilion.

...

The next day.

Outside the Spirit Frost Pavilion of the Xuantian Sect’s Inner Sect, many Inner Sect disciples gathered, fiercely discussing among themselves.

"The Ye Xuan who entered the Spirit Frost Pavilion yesterday hasn’t come out yet. Could it be that he has already successfully moved in?"

"Absolutely impossible. What virtue or ability does a newcomer like him have to stay in the Spirit Frost Pavilion? He must have been seriously injured by the Four Demons and is probably lying inside like a dead dog, unable to even walk out on his own."

"That’s possible. The Inner Sect Four Demons are too fierce. They might kill someone one of these days. Ye Xuan is really unlucky; he is nothing but a poor wretch."

"Humph, serves him right for overestimating himself and challenging authority. His current predicament is nothing short of self-inflicted."

The disciples of the Inner Sect speculated wildly about Ye Xuan’s fate. Some felt sorry for him, but most took joy in his misfortune, mocking and scoffing openly.

Suddenly, amidst their quiet whispering, the grand doors of the Spirit Frost Pavilion flung open, and a graceful figure emerged.

This graceful figure, extremely beautiful, was none other than the female warrior Fei Yue from among the Four Demons.

"It’s Sister Fei Yue!"

Many disciples secretly swallowed their saliva. Fei Yue’s beauty had long been an object of desire among many Inner Sect disciples, yet no one dared reveal their feelings openly. This was because several disciples who had confessed their feelings to Fei Yue in the past had been harshly humiliated by her, severely injuring their pride and even breaking a leg. From then on, no one dared to openly admire Fei Yue.

They had no doubt that if they were seen by her, they, too, might have a leg broken immediately.

Creak!

The grand doors opened once more and another figure stepped out, the slender figure of a young man with a lazy expression on his face as he walked out of the Spirit Frost Pavilion.

"Sister Fei Yue, good morning."

Ye Xuan stretched lazily. Cultivating here indeed had an effect of getting twice the result with half the effort; even waking up felt refreshing.

"Good morning, Junior Brother Ye."

A trace of surprise appeared in Fei Yue’s beautiful eyes. It had been a long time since someone greeted her this way. The kid had made such a serious bet with her and could still remain so nonchalant. It seemed he was unaware of her ruthlessness. Well, once two months were up, she would let this kid experience her terrifying methods fully. But then, she smiled sweetly, showing none of the ruthlessness expected of a female warrior.

This scene, seen from the hiding Inner Sect Disciples in the distance, was like seeing a ghost.

"My gosh, am I seeing things? That kid seems fine, and he’s even chatting and laughing with Sister Fei Yue?"

One of them exclaimed.

"No way! Did he sustain some fatal internal injury and is not long for this world, so Sister Fei Yue pitied him and talked to him? Given Sister Fei Yue’s character, how could she possibly care about a newcomer?"

"Fatal internal injuries? How come I don’t see him injured? Did someone’s jinx earlier hit the mark, and this kid not only moved into Spirit Frost Hall but also won Sister Fei Yue’s favor?"

The Inner Sect Disciples used their imagination to its fullest, thinking of every possibility, and some even considered Ye Xuan a master of romance, who had managed to win over the ’Female Asura’, Sister Fei Yue, in just one night.

Such whispered conversations naturally went unheard by Fei Yue; otherwise, these people would have surely faced a beating.

"Alright, Sister Fei Yue, I’m off to class now. Within two months, I will definitely meet the conditions you mentioned."

Ye Xuan, with his Heavenly Realm soul power, had also overheard the whispered conversations and chuckled internally at their rich imagination. However, he would not bother telling Fei Yue about these comments. After bowing to her, he headed straight away, leaving the Spirit Frost Pavilion.

The first condition to enter the Elite Class of the Inner Sect and become an Elite Disciple was to score above eighty in all cultivation classes.

These classes, mandated by the Xuantian Sect for Inner Sect Disciples, mainly taught various theories of Martial Arts, combat skills, survival skills, knowledge about Demon Beasts, and even the history and culture of the Spirit Martial Continent.

To score above eighty in all these classes was an achievement few in the Inner Sect had managed.

"Interesting, I would like to see what you can learn in just two months. You won’t pass this first condition, not by a long shot."

Fei Yue seemed confident; with so many subjects, Ye Xuan mastering them all in such a short period was like a fool’s dream.

A month passed by.

In the Spirit Frost Pavilion, two figures stood facing each other, Fei Yue and Leng Wusheng.

"A month has passed, and this kid is inconsistent—three days fishing, two days drying nets, only attending class for one day, skipping two days, even the Sword Dao Department’s teacher is very dissatisfied with Ye Xuan, threatening to expel him and demote him to the Outer Sect."

Leng Wusheng reported Ye Xuan’s activities over the month, but as he spoke, a faint smile appeared on his face. As expected, Ye Xuan, relying on his slight talent, was incredibly arrogant, even claiming to become an elite Inner Sect Disciple within two months. If this continued, being expelled would be considered lucky.

"What is this kid up to, has he already given up?"

Fei Yue’s beautiful face appeared puzzled. A month ago, Ye Xuan had confidently promised to meet her conditions, but his actions over the month were completely contrary to his grand statements. From what little she knew of Ye Xuan, he didn’t seem like someone who would only talk big.

"He must have realized he has no hope, and struggling is useless, so he gave up. It was an impossible task to begin with; does Sister Fei Yue still have expectations?"

Leng Wusheng sneered coldly, thinking that Fei Yue overestimated Ye Xuan. Such a thing didn’t warrant any hope, as he never acknowledged that Ye Xuan’s talent could surpass his own.

"If that’s the case, then he will suffer when the time comes. I hate men who give up on themselves the most." A hint of coldness flashed in Fei Yue’s eyes, which then returned to calm, "But as to the specifics, we will see at the end of the month’s quarterly assessment."

No matter what, the end of this month would bring the quarterly assessment of the Inner Sect, and then it would become clear what the situation with Ye Xuan was these two months.

...

Ye Xuan’s lackadaisical attitude toward Sect classes had started to spread within the Inner Sect. Originally, Ye Xuan had merely used skipping classes as an excuse to peruse the history of the Spirit Martial Continent, but now he found himself having to attend more classes to avoid being truly expelled from the Inner Sect, which would be troublesome.

However, even in class, listening to those theories that he found overly familiar and even flawed, Ye Xuan inevitably found his mind wandering.

"Ye Xuan!"

Suddenly, a cold scolding came. As Ye Xuan raised his head, a full-figured woman in a sky-blue dress, her almond eyes glaring fiercely as if to eat him alive, faced him.

This woman was Ye Xuan’s Sword Dao Department teacher, Luo Lin. She had taken an early dislike to Ye Xuan. This disciple had too many bad habits; although slightly talented, his attitude was extremely lackadaisical, wasting his only bit of talent.

"This guy is daydreaming again; since he joined, he hasn’t attentively listened to a single class."

"Yeah, what did this guy come here for if he doesn’t study properly? When the quarterly assessment comes, if his grades are too bad, he might be stripped of his Inner Sect Disciple status."

"He’s going to be in big trouble, it looks like Teacher Luo Lin can’t tolerate him anymore, now’s the perfect chance to give him a hard time."

Many disciples reveled in schadenfreude, their faces showing glee at the drama unfolding.
