The Immortal Cultivator System

CHAPTRE 8

"Murid of the Gate Elder ?!" Jian Seru. Even geniuses needed to work hard to become disciples of the Gate Elders, yet Li Kuo managed it easily. This Zero King Sutra must be truly extraordinary. The Gate of Elders was not like ordinary Elders.

In the Poisonous King Sect, there were tree type Elders. Normal Elder, Gate Elder, and Founding Elder. The Treasure Elder per example was a Founding Elder and had more privileges than Hou Fei.

"Yes you heard! So you're the dog, right ?!" Ask the older students. It was quite visible on his face, his patience was thinning.

"Or of course not! We're friends, can't you see this with your dog's eyes ?!" Jian asked, who was also furious.

"What, I'm the dog now?! You have a bad boy!" Said a much older student. Jian could also tell that the man was as strong as him, yet he was alone and the older disciple was surrounded by his friends.

"You're the one who used to call me a dog, don't be surprised if I insult you back." Said Jian stubbornly. The older disciples were a little surprised because Jian was not pressured by their numbers, but then some of them knew that he was a stubborn child.

The much older disciple tilted his fist, ready to hit Jian. But just as he was about to smash Jian's face, a palm stopped him. It not only stopped him, but also broke his hand.

"Arghh! Who would dare break my hand?! Friends, kill ******** that!" Shouted the man. Yet the others did not move, so he turned around and saw something pouring a bucket of ice on him.

"T-Tian Zhou ?!" The man said, his eyes widened. Tian Zhou was one of the disciples of Eastern Gate Elder Hou Fei. He was not someone he could even see in his eyes. But Tian Zhou was not the one who broke his hand. Not that person was Peng Fu, a follower of Huang Lei.

Since two Inner disciples were present, which should not have happened, the older disciples looked like they were fleeing as quickly as possible.

Grunting, Tian Zhou arrived in front of Jian, while Peng Fu did the same and they both shouted.

"Jian is under .. Jin Wang protection!" Shouted Tian Zhou.

"Protection of Huang Lei!" Shouted Peng fu at the same time.

The two of them glared at each other, while Jian was dumbfounded. He knew he was supposed to be Huang Lei's younger brother now, yet he was quite surprised to hear that he was also under Jin Wang's protection.

Hearing this, the older disciples dropped their jaws to the ground, before the sharp gaze from Tian Zhou made them flee.

"It was an unpleasant surprise to hear that Jin Wang was interested in my Boss' younger brother." Peng Fu said, covering his mouth with his sleeves while chuckling. Tian Zhou only snorted and looked at Jian. Now looking at the boy closer, Tian Zhou somewhat understood why his Boss was interested in him.

"Jin Wang is much stronger than Huang Lei could have expected. That beggar better get away from my boss's way." Tian Zhou said before leaving. Peng Fu shook his head and looked at Jian.

"Well, Jian, it looks like you're pretty good at handling things." Said the snake-like man.

"Pffl! They're just stupid. As if I'm Li Kuo's dog, we're friends." Huffed Jian was slightly angry. Peng Fu nodded and grabbed his sleeve.

"Why .... Why do you have a snake on your sleeve ?!" Shouted Jian, jumping away from the man.

"Oh that? I'm pretty good at handling animals, so I can communicate with them. Snakes are easy to hide in my robe, so I put a little inside. I use it as a messenger." He said, bringing the snake to his mouth, muttering something before he threw it away. The snake crept away while Jian was greatly amazed.

"You're a beast tamer?" He asked, his voice full of passion.

"Oh oh, I dare not call myself that. I'm just a nice person with those little creatures. After all, I have some business to take care of in the Inner Palace. See you at the Outer Tournament." Peng Fu said before he left as well.

“It was quite strange, but now that I got protection from both of them, no one should mess with me.” Jian said before he walked home.

*******************

(Three days later)

The Day of the Outer Tournament has arrived. Since this was just an ordinary event, there were no decorations or anything like that, but one could feel the excitement coming from the disciples.

As the disciples walked into the Arena, they talked to each other.

"You heard what they said?! Not only will a Gate Elder be present, there will also be an Elite Disciple coming!" Said a disciple, stunning others around him.

Yet a small commotion occurred when a young disciple arrived. For some reason that confused the other disciples, he looked younger than when he first arrived at the Sect. This disciple was of course Jian.

He walked around, looked in front of him and did not pay attention to the disciples who were giving way for him.

"Hey, isn't that Jian ?!"

" WHO ?"

"Jian, you idiot! That person had become quite famous in the Outer Court these past few days. He was under the protection of Jin Wang and Huang Lei, not only that but he was also friends with that Li Kuo. You know, the person who became the Northern Gate Elder was his disciple for some mysterious reason. Some people said he used a powerful Unique Technique, but that was just a rumor. " Said a student. His words made others around him look at Jian strangely. This kid is actually a troublesome figure!

As the people gossiped, Jian was actually talking to the system.

'System, since I was unable to break through the Third Step over those past few days, do you think I can get into the top 10? Apparently Zhao Shu should be the strongest disciple around, but I'm not so sure. 'Thought the young man.

[Getting into the Top 10 will be easy with a sword, but as you already know, Master, showing this sword to all disciples can give you unwanted attention. No matter how you have that trump card, it can help you get into the Top 3. Top 10 shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't face Zhao Shu at the beginning.]

' That's what I thought. I can fight tenaciously, or at least I can last a long time. During my previous training, I discovered that His Eternal Divine Body has a limit. A boundary I can cross as long as I can higher realms. But with that, I have a great advantage over the other disciples. '

Since the tournament was about to start, most of the disciples were already there. Jian sat on one of the stone steps and watched as someone announced the start of the Tournament. He's never seen this guy.

"Hey, isn't that Huang Lei? You know the one who never showed his true strength?" Said a disciple who was behind Jian.

Jian's eyes widened as he looked at Huang Lei who was smiling at him. The man had a somewhat normal face, he was not too handsome like Jin Wang. However he had short pointed hair and many scars on his forehead. He looked like a veteran who had gone through many wars. He also had a muscular body, which was rare for Sect disciples.

After Huang Lei finished speaking, he went up to the side of the arena as he was the referee and mentioned two names. The disciples in question climbed into the arena and started fighting as soon as Huang Lei shouted 'Start'.

The first fight was a bit boring, although Jian noticed them because he wanted to measure the level of the other disciples. He was so focused, he missed the way Zhao Shu who was sitting not far from him, looked at him. At first the man's eyes burned in disdain, but then for some reason he started smiling, which frightened everyone around him.

Wei Fang and Lu'er were also there, looking at the arena as they sat on the seats. They are the only ones with chairs. Even Jin Wang was sitting on the stone stairs. Speaking of Jin Wang, he and Huang Lei were not the only Inner Disciples to come. After all, Inner Disciple had always come to the Outer Tournament to recruit some followers. Jin Wang on the other hand only looked at Jian and Zhao Shu, because in his eyes they were the only ones with potential.

He was soon proven wrong.

"WOAH! Did that fellow just use Fire ?!" Shouted a disciple as he saw someone in the arena firing a shot from his fist. Wei Fang's closed eyes until now suddenly opened, as Lu'er looked at the disciple who had used fire with greed in his eyes.

' How is it possible ?! A Qi Core Realm Cultivator should not be able to use the Elements, unless ... 'Thought Jian.

Suddenly the disciple in question widened his arms and smiled viciously at his enemy.

"Come out, Hell Fire Lion!" Shouted the student. Suddenly, the arena was filled with flames and a Lion made of purple flames leaped out from the back of his disciple.

"This .... This was a rare Martial Spirit!" Wei Fang.

'The Hell Fire Lion ..... It is still young so it is only at the Qi Core 4th Step. Yet those things could enter the Mortal Realm. Interesting .... 'Thought Jin Wang.

'The Fire Lion of Hell is a Demon Beast. This disciple either sealed it within his body, or he could use Demonic Qi ... I hope it's the last one. ' Wei Fang thought. In this Mortal World, no one really cared about the dangers represented by Demon Cultivators, and Sects like the Poisonous King Sect would do anything to possess them.

'This person will definitely become a valuable disciple. I wonder why he has never shown Martial Spirit before. ' Thought Jian.

Of course now that Martial Spirit had come out, the fight was over. The Fire Lion of Hell fired a fireball at its prey and nearly killed its disciple. Huang Lei saved him before he died and threw him away.

"I declare Zhao Yun the winner of this fight!" Shouted Huang Lei.

'Z-Zhao? !!!'
