Chapter 317: The Newcomer’s Rules
These nine were all at the Opening Realm. They were completely unable to discern that Lin Yun’s cultivation was at the Eighth Layer of Qi Sea Realm, and they certainly had no idea that his Combat Power was great enough to slay even those at the Early Stage of the Primordial Ocean Realm.
Seeing their smug expressions, Lin Yun forced down his anger, constantly reminding himself, ’Don’t stoop to their level.’
Lin Yun had no appetite for the plain white rice, so he decided not to eat. His body could go for days without food without any issue anyway. In fact, the higher a Martial Artist’s cultivation, the less they relied on food. Eating was merely for pleasure.
Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Lin Yun left the dining hall. Watching his retreating figure, the nine men began to talk.
"This kid sure has an attitude."
"Hmph. Newcomers need to learn the rules. We’ll teach him a proper lesson tomorrow."
Hearing this, the nine men exchanged cold smirks. They were the lowest-ranking servant disciples in the Flawless Palace, and they would likely be forced to leave within a few years. They might have seemed pitiful, but the pitiful always have their detestable side.
Back in the dormitory, Lin Yun found a corner near the door and sat cross-legged to cultivate. He hadn’t chosen a spot deeper inside, picking a bunk near the entrance for one simple reason: the smell inside was unbearable.
Before long, the other servant disciples from Lin Yun’s group trickled back into the dormitory. Exhausted from a long day, most of them had no energy to cultivate. Only a handful, like Lin Yun, sat cross-legged and continued their training.
In Lin Yun’s eyes, many of these servant disciples had already given up hope. They knew their chances of entering the Outer Sect were slim and that most of them would be forced to leave the Flawless Palace after a few years. As a result, they had little enthusiasm for cultivation.
