Chapter 99 - 96 Master Gu
"So it seems, becoming a disciple of Heavenly Martial Hall isn’t easy..." Ye Xuan laughed at himself with a touch of self-mockery.
"Of course, it’s not," Tang Xiaoyan’s pretty face revealed a look of longing. "Most of the young people in the Tiannan Region probably dream of becoming a disciple of Heavenly Martial Hall. Only those who are true geniuses would find it easy..."
"Is Heavenly Martial Hall that good?"
With a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, Ye Xuan watched the woman before him pine for Heavenly Martial Hall, to an almost excessive degree, and couldn’t help but shake his head. "As far as I know, in the Tiannan Region, there isn’t just one Third Grade Sect like Heavenly Martial Hall. The Wildfire Sect of the Great Yun Country is also Third Grade, but you never mention them."
Heavenly Martial Hall and Wildfire Sect, the only remaining two Third Grade Sects in the Tiannan Region, had been the established hierarchy since the Black Demon Sect’s destruction hundreds of years ago. Below these were Xingyun Pavilion and Earth Evil Sect—at Second Grade—and Green Leaf Valley and Spring and Autumn Sword Sect—at First Grade—forming the complete sect hierarchy of the entire Tiannan Region.
"We, the people of Great Hua Country, naturally venerate our Heavenly Martial Hall. Besides, Heavenly Martial Hall’s power is indeed formidable, undeniably so. The Grand Hall Master, Ling Jingtian, is a peak expert at the Seventh Grade Martial Sect Master Realm. Meanwhile, the Sect Leader of Wildfire Sect was once defeated by Ling Palace Master, a fact known to all," Tang Xiaoyan said with a hint of pride in her tone.
"The four True Disciples of Heavenly Martial Hall are all Martial Sect Masters with renowned reputations. Even if Wildfire Sect wishes to contest for the top spot, it still falls short. Hence, the throne of the number one sect rightfully belongs to Heavenly Martial Hall. Who wouldn’t want to enter there? Wildfire Sect is only the second choice."
"The four True Disciples?"
A sparkle flickered in Ye Xuan’s eyes as he became intrigued. So every one of the four True Disciples was a Martial Sect Master? Such cultivation level, if placed in the Great Xia Kingdom, would surely be among the top echelon.
Yet in Heavenly Martial Hall, they were merely disciples.
