C117

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, four years had passed.

On a sunny afternoon, a handsome youth dressed in white was lying on the hillside in front of the Mysterious Creek Territory. Borrowing the light of the afternoon sun, his eyebrows were furrowed and his eyelids twitched from time to time, as if he was feeling the pain of the sun pricking his eyelids.

Beside him, a small white beast was curled up on his waist, sleeping with its four calves facing the side.

This man and this woman were Shang Zifeng and Snowball.

In four years, Shang Zifeng had lost his childish side. The mischievous youth had slowly grown up, and appeared even more handsome and mature than before.

At this time, the inner disciple test had just ended, and as expected, Shang Zifeng had once again failed the test, not to mention that he was still at the bottom.

That's right, he had once again failed.

The Yuxu Sect held the inner sect disciple exam once every two years, gathering all the outer sect disciples to carry out a large selection, and the victor would become an inner sect disciple.

On the other hand, they could only wait for the inner court disciple test two years later.

The substantive difference between inner and outer court disciples was the increase of their cultivation.

Within the Yuxu Sect, the status of inner court disciples was higher than outer court disciples.

When they met, the outer sect disciples would call the inner sect disciples Senior Brothers.

As for the Sect's daily tasks, outer sect disciples were also a bit more difficult than inner sect disciples.

For example, carrying water, washing clothes, cooking, cleaning the doors of the mountain, cleaning the toilets, and so on would be done by the outer sect disciples.

The division of the ranks among the disciples was not out of discrimination against the outer sect disciples.

Generally speaking, the outer sect disciples were all new, and the new disciples that were able to enter the Yuxu Sect were all proud and arrogant.

In order to let them change from the inside on, this way to smooth their impetuous, let them become more calm and energetic.

Over time, this became a law.

Those with good talent could cultivate the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation to the second stage in two years, and those with medium talent could condense the light orange profound energy, thus allowing them to directly step into the ranks of inner sect disciples. Only a small number of disciples who have not reached this level will need to participate in the inner sect disciple test, and enter the ranks of inner sect disciples through the Large Competition.

For someone like Shang Zifeng, who had been an outer disciple for four years, he was the only person who had entered the sect for a thousand years.

Once one reached the second stage of the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation, they could use it to fly, and all the disciples who had entered the realm a year later than Shang Zifeng could use it to fly.

This time, the failure completely turned Shang Zifeng into a laughing stock, causing most of the Ximing Disciple to feel that they had lost face.

But since Ling Changfeng was up there, no matter how much they cursed him, they did not dare to say it out loud.

Because every time someone mentioned something like this, they would inevitably be punished by their master.

However, even so, there were still senior brothers who were good to Shang Zifeng, such as Ye Xiao and Du Yun.

One of them was the head disciple of the Xixuan Taosit Place, the other was the second senior brother. From the moment Shang Zifeng had entered the Xixuan Taosit Place, they had already thought it through.

Since Master only accepted three of them back then, no matter what others thought of them, they would always recognize them as a strong shield.

Furthermore, after Shang Zifeng and the other two, Ling Changfeng had declared that he would not take in disciples, and it was true that he would not take in disciples again.

Since their Master could do this, what reason did they have to despise her?

Moreover, one of them was already gone, so no matter how weak Shang Zifeng was, they would not be able to mock him like the other disciples.

Take Du Yun for example, his extroverted nature would never hide his feelings. In these four years, he did not know how many times he had fought water battles for Shang Zifeng, and he had even fought against the thorns of other training halls.

If it were not for Ling Changfeng secretly fighting, he probably would have been punished by the sect rules.

"Ah, we'll have to wait for another two years …"

Shang Zifeng let out a long sigh. He moved his arm and accidentally woke up the snow ball on his waist.

Snowball snorted helplessly.

Little Fengfeng, it's already been 4 years and you haven't even mastered the second stage of Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation, this baby has never seen someone as stupid as you!

Shang Zifeng opened his eyes and looked at Snowball. Upon seeing its pouting face, he knew that it must be looking down on him again.

After four years of teamwork, Shang Zifeng and Snowball had more or less formed a mental connection. He could roughly guess at just one of the little guy's movements, or even the expression in his eyes.

He lazily held Snowball in his arms and caressed its fur as he said listlessly, "Snowball, I know that you are definitely calling me stupid again … Actually... I know I'm dumb, too. No matter how hard I train, I can't break through to the second level. When you think about Dongfang Li, he is now an expert of the Wuchong Stage, and has also reached the fourth stage of the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation.

It stopped for a moment, "When I went up the mountain with him, I felt that he was not an ordinary person. And that Su Jingqi, had also trained his Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation to the fourth stage! Sigh … "Snowball, don't you think they're both freaks?"

In reality, Yao Shuang was not like Su Jingqi, who was cultivating up to the point, but releasing a bit of strength every few steps.

And her speed, was controlled by Su Jingqi.

She had her own reasons for doing so.

Su Jingqi was of a similar age to Yao Shuang, and from the day he had entered the sect, it had not even been a year before he had broken through to the second level of the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation.

This kind of cultivation speed, was something that even Yao Shuang could not compare to.

If it wasn't for the fact that Yao Shuang's strength was outstanding and her physique was special as well as the fact that she had an ancient secret technique like the Mystic Maiden Heaven Chilling Spell, it would have been extremely difficult for her to cultivate to the second stage of the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation in one year and break through to the Wuchong Stage in one fell swoop in four years.

Currently, the two of them were already the youngest and most talented disciples of the Yuxu Sect, their statuses were not inferior to the chief disciples of the Four Great Daoist Rites and they were highly regarded by their teachers.

Shang Zifeng said those words casually, with a hint of teasing, as if he did not care at all. But in reality, his heart was extremely uncomfortable, so he was able to discern this point from the sound of his voice.

It couldn't help but roll its eyes.

No matter how monstrous they are, they are not as monstrous as you!

You are simply as stupid as a demon!

Just as she was rolling her eyes, Snowball suddenly shivered.

Shang Zifeng was startled, but quickly reacted.

Whenever Snowball had such an expression, it must have been that person.

He followed Snowball's nervous gaze and looked over, his face immediately revealing a smile.

"Dongfang Li!"

Yao Shuang slowly walked over, her clothes swaying gently with her steps.

In these four years, Yao Shuang had not changed much, and was still as "handsome" as ever.

That kind of temperament.

If he had to say anything about the changes, his eyes would be even calmer than before.

After four years of interaction, Shang Zifeng and Yao Shuang had become close friends that could talk about anything. Especially after Shang Ziyu left, in order to pacify him, Yao Shuang had to spar with him every day at the rear mountains of the Xixuan Taosit Place. This way, Shang Zifeng could forget about his troubles.

As time passed, the two became more and more opportunistic. Even the way they addressed each other wasn't as unfamiliar as four years ago. Both of them used their names to address each other.

Seeing Shang Zifeng forcing out a smile, Yao Shuang could not help but shake his head and sigh, and berate: "In front of me, don't pretend that you don't care about me!"
