Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 870 - 844: Inner Sect Disciple Selection

As the sun rose in the east, a trace of dawn appeared on the horizon, and strands of morning clouds gradually ascended. Mist like smoke and clouds enveloped Holy Sun Town, making it look like an ethereal fairyland from afar.

Early in the morning, Holy Sun Town became unusually bustling, with people coming and going on the streets, just like a busy market day.

Today was a significant event for the Outer Sect disciples of Myriad Saints Valley. The selection of Inner Sect disciples, which was held once every three years, took place today. If one performed exceptionally well in this selection, they could be specially promoted to Inner Sect disciple. Otherwise, they could only wait until they broke through to the Earthly Realm to be directly promoted to Inner Sect disciples.

The Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm, the difficulty of standing out was incredibly high.

However, once someone became an Inner Sect disciple, they could quickly advance to the Earthly Realm. The treatment for Inner Sect disciples was far superior to that of Outer Sect disciples.

Naturally, everyone yearned for the status of an Inner Sect disciple, but how many could succeed?

In every triennial selection, by usual standards, only three slots were available. Among the Outer Sect disciples of Myriad Saints Valley, there were dozens of disciples in the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm. Dozens competing for three slots, and potentially facing competition from those in the Eighth Layer too — the intensity of the competition was imaginable.

Of course, the vast majority could only participate for the excitement. With over twenty thousand Outer Sect disciples, the majority were destined to remain ordinary for life.

Tangyu had also gotten up early, and Fang Yishui along with their other two companions had naturally risen early as well. It was their first day in Holy Sun Town, and they were so excited last night that they found it hard to sleep. Facing such an important event as the selection of Inner Sect disciples today, they were naturally a bit excited.

"Haha—" Suddenly, a hearty laugh echoed as Wang Wei and Wu Fei walked out of the secret chamber, their spirits high and aura overwhelming. Every gesture they made carried the demeanor of a master.

Obviously, the two had successfully broken through to the Earthly Realm. Leaping into this realm was like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, truly becoming elite figures of the Ancient Martial World. No matter where they went, they would be esteemed experts.

Having someone at the Earthly Realm sitting at the helm of an Ancient Martial force guaranteed its long-lasting prominence.

Wang Wei was brimming with excitement: "Earthly Realm, this is the Earthly Realm, such a powerful feeling. Haha, I never imagined that I, Wang Wei, would break through to the Earthly Realm. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would happen!"

Wang Wei and Wu Fei’s talents were obviously mediocre, at most average. Given their talents, there was hardly any hope for them in their lifetime; they were doomed to be at the bottom rung of the Ancient Martial World. They figured reaching the Sixth Layer of the Innate Realm in their lifetime would already be satisfying for them. That had been their lifelong goal and effort.

But this goal had always seemed as hard to reach as climbing to the heavens.

However, they were incredibly lucky to have met Tangyu, their great leader, which allowed them to see the light and step out of the darkness. They embarked on a broad and bright path.

This journey, in just two short months, brought about such a transformative change, elevating them from the Third Layer of the Innate Realm all the way to the Earthly Realm. This was nothing short of miraculous and would surely shock many if it were known.

Both men knew well in their hearts that it was all thanks to Tangyu. Without him, they’d still be minor figures at the Third Layer of the Innate Realm.

Their gratitude ran so deep that no words could express it. Their resolve to swear loyalty to Tangyu was only further strengthened.

Naturally, Tangyu wasn’t surprised by their successful breakthroughs. Having used up two Immortal Spirit Fruits, if he couldn’t elevate them to the Earthly Realm, it would have been a waste. Immortal Spirit Fruits were such heavenly treasures, hard to come by, capable of evoking envy even among Ninth Layer Earthly Realm experts.

Seeing the envious looks on Fang Yishui and the others’ faces, Tangyu said, "The three of you don’t need to rush. Your current strength is still too weak, and your foundations are unsteady. Once you reach the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm, I will give you Immortal Spirit Fruits to help you break through to the Earthly Realm."

The three were overjoyed at hearing this.

By now, they had a much greater understanding of the Ancient Martial World and naturally aimed for the Earthly Realm.

Li Feng stood aside, enviously.

Liang Youshan grinned and said, "Boss, it’s about time, we should head over. Let’s go early and make a show. I can’t wait any longer. I, Liang Youshan, have never made a big splash in Myriad Saints Valley. Today I plan to make up for it all at once. Tremble, mortals!"

When Tangyu and his group arrived at the grand plaza of the Cultivation Area, they found it already packed with people. Over twenty thousand was a grand scene, yet the plaza was big enough to accommodate everyone comfortably.

The place was abuzz with chatter. Naturally, the main topic was who could stand out and become an Inner Sect disciple this time.

"Three slots, so many monks and so little gruel. The competition is going to be fierce. I feel that Liu Sheng will definitely secure one slot."

"Liu Sheng is strong, but it’s hard to say. Others in the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm aren’t far behind. I think Guo Zhen of the Underworld Gods Group will secure a slot."

"Hmph, Guo Zhen? Our He Yiming from Morning Sun Hall can totally crush him."

"Cut it out, why not mention Yan Chu from Shocking King Hall?"

"Hehe, stop arguing, everyone. I think there’s someone who has a big chance. It’s that Tangyu who dared to go against Senior Brother Dong Zinian. This guy is definitely a monster. He could be the biggest dark horse."

"That’s right, Tangyu really is a monster. He might just make a sensation."

"Haha, I think there’s another one with a big chance, Hu Yaomei. Though her strength might not be the strongest, she’s so charming that men might just let her win, and then she’d secure a spot."

"Haha, stop joking. For such a big event, it’s all about strength."

"Hey, look, Tangyu and his team are here. Wow, quite a crowd, indeed."

Fang Yishui and the other three looked around curiously. Everything here was so unfamiliar and novel to them. The sheer number of Ancient Martial Artists was simply overwhelming. If they were to be mobilized for a war, they could probably sweep across any army and rule the world.

Liang Youshan, Wang Wei, and Wu Fei came for glory, naturally exuding an air of proud confidence.

Tangyu made his way directly to the center of the square, squeezing into the frontmost part of the crowd. There seemed to be an unspoken rule that the stronger you were, the closer you stood to the front. Those with less strength had to stay in the back, and anyone daring to push to the front would need at least Innate Realm Eighth or Ninth Layer strength, or they’d be despised.

As he reached the front, Tangyu glanced around and saw many ambitious figures, none of them lacking in presence. Tangyu spotted Liu Sheng and Yan Chu in the crowd. They nodded and smiled at Tangyu, showing a bit of respect.

Tangyu smirked, thinking they must have heard some rumors about him and knew about his strength.

Among the crowd, some unfriendly glares were directed at Tangyu. The people from Morning Sun Hall looked particularly displeased. However, Tangyu couldn’t care less about them and didn’t bother to pay attention to them.

Hu Yaomei, along with a few other girls, approached Tangyu directly. Not fearing gossip, Hu Yaomei stuck close to Tangyu, batting her eyelashes flirtatiously. This intimate gesture made many people green with envy. Despite being a total enchantress, Hu Yaomei wasn’t so close with just any man. This level of closeness was almost like that of a couple.

This naturally made many boys who admired Hu Yaomei burn with jealousy.

Tangyu rolled his eyes at Hu Yaomei and said, "Fairy, you’re clearly trying to get me into trouble. Look how many people are glaring at me because of you. Are you trying to make me a public enemy?"

"Hehe, making everyone mad is the point. This is a special treatment just for you, you know. Many people would dream of this. What’s wrong? Are you not grateful for this chance to show off?" Hu Yaomei laughed seductively, looking proud.

Tangyu replied irritably, "Grateful, my foot! You’re just a female rogue, always taking advantage of me. One day, I’m going to make sure you stay in bed for three days and nights straight."

Hu Yaomei’s eyes lit up, "Oh, that sounds great! But do you have what it takes? Three days and nights, don’t go soft in an hour. If you really are that strong, I’d gladly be yours."

"Uh..." Tangyu was speechless. Dealing with a creature that bleeds for seven days a month without dying, sure indeed, wasn’t easy.

"See, you’re scared, aren’t you? Come on, give it to me."

"No."

"If you don’t, I’ll just take it."

"Damn."

"Yes, just like that."

"..."

Tangyu was completely defeated by Hu Yaomei. This devil must have taken the wrong medicine today.

Hearing the pair’s utterly chaotic conversation, Liang Youshan almost cried. Such corruption of his pure heart wasn’t fair.

Meanwhile, Fang Yishui shot a hostile look at Hu Yaomei, mumbling, "Shameless devil, trying to steal my master. Hmph, as long as I’m around, I won’t let you take advantage of him. Master, why do you have so many women, but none of them are me? I’m very pretty and capable too, you know?"

Hu Yaomei suddenly turned and smiled at Fang Yishui, causing Fang Yishui to jump in fright. She wondered if this devil could read minds and had heard all her thoughts just now.
