Chapter 3162 Senior Disciples

As they made their way to the back of the Flow Tower, they went down a long path silently. Not long after they moved a certain distance, Zen looked up to see a large bell hanging over his head.

It immediately hit him that this bell alone was responsible for alerting the entire Flow Sword Sect of the passing of a month.

He stared at it in wonder till they passed it and went further along the road and stopped once they reached the end of the cliff.

It was perfect to just stand and overlook the scenery as there were no clouds that could block the view. Nature's beauty was laid bare to them.

On the other end of the cliff, there was an exquisite terrace with railings etched with intricate designs.

Imran continued to lead Zen till they arrived on the patio. They weren't the only ones there. Instead, there were more than twenty people gathered there already.

At first, these people seemed slothful, but an unusual light in their eyes vouched for their excellence.

"Greetings my brothers. I have brought Zen here." Imran respectfully bowed and cupped his hands towards them.

Back at the Flow Tower, when Zen had entered for the first time, only Milo was present among the elite members. Therefore, no one here knew his face.

"Oh, you're here! I've heard a lot about you!"

"Zen, please sit here!"

"……"

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the terrace had changed with them walking over to Zen, putting their arm around him, greeting him and escorting him to the seat of honor. It was as if Zen was a noble figure to be treated with such respect.

Witnessing this, Imran shook his head at their reactions.

The treatment he had received from these same senior disciples was worlds apart from what Zen had got.

This was the core circle of the Flow Sword Sect. Ninety percent of the resources of the sword sect had been poured into them, and the strength and seniority were seen as very important.

Not that long ago, Imran had joined this very circle, but compared to Zen, he was treated more like a servant. Watching all this unfold at a distance, he couldn't help but feel slightly discredited.

Of course, Imran wasn't jealous of Zen, and he had no right to be. After all, Zen deserved this treatment for performing so well.

Milo was hailed to be the core of the Flow Sword Sect, and his talents were unmatched. Since Zen had surpassed Milo, who was the most powerful disciple, Zen deserved every bit of this treatment and more.

After being carefully escorted, Zen took his seat. One by one, each senior disciple stood before him and gave their proper introduction.

Most of these elite disciples enjoyed a high social status, and more than half of them were descendants of the leaders in the Oneness Sky Palace. It was overwhelming how none of them came from humble origins.

It was common. If one wished to enter the vicinity of Dragon City, they had

I only got a finger-sized one..."

"My soul crystal was just a bit bigger than yours..."

"I heard that Milo had got a three-fingerbreadth one," someone whispered in the distance.

Once everyone told their experiences, they all eyed Zen up patiently to hear his answer.

These elites were well-respected by the Oneness Sky Palace, yet they were given a fingerbreadth of crystal on average...

Zen rubbed his forehead and said, "I've got a fist-sized soul crystal in the temple..."

He made it apparent by a gesture with his fist.

Suddenly, the lively atmosphere faded away as the crowd went into pin-drop silence. After inhaling a few deep breathes, they began eyeing up Zen as though he wasn't human.

The rareness of soul crystal was such that the quantity of stored soul crystals in the temple was probably only the size of a few fists. How could Zen get a fist of it alone for himself?

After a while, Konnor broke the silence and glanced at Zen with narrowed eyes. "They said you were of humble origin. I don't believe it..."

If Konnor were not an elite disciple of the Oneness Sky Palace and did dare to be disrespectful to Eastern Emperor Taiyi, he would have presumed Zen to be the illegitimate son of the emperor.

Seeing their reaction, Zen began to construct thoughts of his own. 'No wonder Dorothy said that I was well treated by the Flow Sword Sect. But now, it seems that I could obtain a big soul crystal not because of my own performance, but because Athemar was looking out for me secretly.'

Even though Athemar seldom showed up at any event, it was apparent he was helping Zen out secretly.

While everyone was still in a daze at their different fates, Konnor quickly changed the topic. "There is only one chance to take the soul crystal. It's also extremely difficult for elites like us to get more of them. But this time, there is another chance. I wonder if you are interested in it, Zen."
