Chapter 1324 - 1328: Old Grudges
...
Seven victories meant that Zhu Minglang’s ranking was now very close to that of the Heavenly Beings and Earth Beings.
Even if Zhu Minglang lost every subsequent match, he wouldn’t have to worry about no Immortal Elders wanting him as a disciple.
After all, the status of a Direct Disciple was secure; it was just a matter of choosing which Immortal Elder to follow.
The more spectacularly one performed, the more likely an Immortal Elder would take notice. Zhu Minglang was well aware that more than half of the elite competitors hoped to be accepted under Weaver Star, yet Weaver Star only took four Direct Disciples. Therefore, if one did not make it into the Heavenly Beings tier, their chances remained uncertain.
Gong Yuexia was indeed strong. If there were others stronger than her later on, Zhu Minglang might have to summon the Little Glutton.
Zhu Minglang initially did not wish for the Little Glutton to enter the fray, preferring to keep some of his strength in reserve, to comfortably deal with any underhanded tactics from opponents.
But if he couldn’t keep the Little Glutton hidden, then he would have to let it join the battlefield; he just needed to act more cautiously and keep a low profile thereafter, considering his full strength would now be exposed to the light. Once it became the Sword Spirit Dragon’s turn to fight, he couldn’t ensure his own safety anymore.
After making some adjustments, Zhu Minglang was ready for the eighth contest.
Although there were only eight matches, not many could achieve a streak of victories. Among the Inner Sect Disciples, there were not only those who had just entered this year, but also veterans who had tread every brick in the Southern Heavenly Palace. Some Inner Sect Disciples had managed to stay for a very long time through special means.
