Chapter 1189: Chapter 1189: What Qualifies You to Train Us?

"We cultivators don’t need to worry about the necessities of life like clothing and food as those in the Secular World do, but we still need to enhance ourselves."

"If one’s lifetime is only spent within a lower-ranked sect, then there won’t be much of a future to speak of."

His words were full of arrogance, taking a condescending tone as if he were lecturing from on high.

The reason Gongsun Zheng came along this time was partly to seize the opportunity to make a name for himself, but more so to win the favor of Wei Qiuwan.

Ever since their first meeting, Gongsun Zheng had fallen for Wei Qiuwan at first sight, which was why he sought an opportunity to accompany her.

Seeing Ning Fan appearing beside Wei Qiuwan now, with Wei Qiuwan acting as if she feared any misunderstanding, naturally made his blood boil.

When faced with Gongsun Zheng’s mockery, Ning Fan, instead of getting angry as expected, merely replied indifferently, "Indeed, Daoist Gongsun speaks very sensibly. I’ve learned a lot."

Hearing this, Gongsun Zheng felt as if his punch had landed on cotton – as uncomfortable as could be.

Just as he was ready to speak again, several sect masters came out from within.

"Everyone has gathered, now you may enter."

"Ah, Gongsun, you’re here too. I was just about to introduce you, this is Daoist Xu..."

Without waiting for the Shuiyun Sect Master to finish the introduction, Ning Fan smiled and said, "We’ve just met, Daoist Gongsun Zheng, the cultivator coming for the competition."

Gongsun Zheng, upon hearing this, grew even prouder: "So you’re also a cultivator participating in the competition this time. You’d best try hard, and not hold the rest of us back."

With that, he bowed to the sect masters and said, "Sect Masters, I shall enter first. I’ve heard that there will be intensive training, and I need to prepare."

Although the Shuiyun Sect Master found it strange, seeing Ning Fan not speaking, he waved a hand and said, "Go ahead, everyone else is already inside."

Wei Qiuwan also approached Ning Fan and whispered, "Then... then I’ll go in first."

As she turned, her cheeks were flushed red like the twilight glow, causing Gongsun Zheng’s heart to waver.

After the two had entered, Ning Fan looked towards the sect masters: "Shall we enter as well?"

Seeing this, the Shuiyun Sect Master hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "Sect Master Ning, do you have some conflict with Gongsun Zheng?"

All the disciples’ training was now pinned on Ning Fan, and if there was a conflict between Ning Fan and Gongsun Zheng, it could negatively impact the training, which would be a great loss.

Ning Fan merely smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No worries, our chat was quite pleasant."

Then, the group walked toward the inside.

The training area was a temporary secret realm set up jointly by the sect masters. Entering through the front passage, they were greeted by a lush expanse of greenery.

"Daoist Xu, we won’t go over just yet. You go ahead and give them a good suppress first."

This was the result of a discussion among the four sect masters.

The disciples they brought this time were the elites of their respective sects, most of them unruly.

Even if the sect masters gave orders, having a strange young man suddenly become their leader might lead some to resistance.

The best solution was for Ning Fan to appear in person and use his strength to suppress these unruly fellows.

"Don’t worry, leave it to me."

Ning Fan smiled faintly and strode forward.

Meanwhile, a group of sect disciples had gathered, numbering about dozens, each one an elite of their sect.

"I heard that the sect master has found a strong cultivator to train us?"

"Could it be some reclusive old monster?"

"No, I heard it’s a young prodigy about our age."

"Hah, aside from the monsters cultivated by the Five Great Sects, who in the middle-ranked sects could be better than us?"

The elites of their respective sects sneered at the news.

"I say, why don’t we show this guy a ’warm welcome’?" suggested one disciple.

The proposal was immediately met with approval from the others, and they promptly joined forces to prepare various schemes, waiting for their new teacher to arrive.

"Is this really okay to do?" Qiuwan hesitated.

Gongsun Zheng comforted her, "Qiuwan, if that guy can’t even break our schemes, then it merely shows he lacks the capability and naturally can’t teach us."

At the same time, Ning Fan was also approaching the vicinity of the traps set up by the disciples.

As soon as he stepped in, he immediately noticed something was amiss.

"Interesting, so they want to set me up, huh?"

Ning Fan quickly detected the intentions of these youngsters, a faint smile forming on his lips as he walked unimpeded into the midst of their formation.

The disciple responsible for controlling the formation noticed someone entering and burst into laughter: "Haha, this guy didn’t notice a thing and walked right in."

Laughter erupted among the group.

"Fool, he’s utterly clueless."

"With such skill, what makes him qualified to train us?"

"By the look of it, he’s probably not even qualified to break out of our formation."

To the surprise of everyone, however, the space in front of them began to ripple slightly.

Subsequently, a figure appeared before them.

"Hello, everyone, I am your new instructor. I look forward to teaching all of you."

Ning Fan stood there with a gentle smile, speaking calmly.
