Chapter 1106  Taking the Inner Court Disciple Assessment

"Did you hear? An Outer Court disciple won this year's Yang Qi King."

"I heard! I heard! It's the same disciple who doesn't put Core Disciples into his eyes, right?"

"Yeah. I can't fathom how he managed to win. And the sect assured that he didn't cheat. Even the Vice Sect Leader came out and said so himself."

The entire sect, from the Outer Court to Center Court, was talking about the Yang Qi King results.

After learning that Su Yang had won the competition, Chun Hua decided to give him a visit.

However, when she arrived at the Outcast Peak, it was filled to the brim with female Outer Court disciples.

The Outcast Peak had never experienced such a crowd, and they were all standing outside Su Yang's living quarters.

"Wow, he's gotten really popular. I guess it's not that surprising since he's the Yang Qi King." Chun Hua chuckled to herself at the sight.

"Excuse me! Coming through!" Chun Hua had to put in good effort to push through the crowd.

"Hey! Who's pushing?!"

"Can't you see there's a line?!"

However, once the Outer Court disciples realized she was an Inner Court disciple, they stopped shouting and even made way for her.

There were several Inner Court disciples there besides Chun Hua, and they were all gathered at the front, closest to Su Yang's living quarters, for a reason.

Once she reached the front, her fellow disciples looked at her and smiled, "Junior sister Chun, you're also here to cultivate with Disciple Xiao?"

"No, I am just here to congratulate him."

"Isn't that basically the same thing?" They chuckled.

A few moments later, the door to Su Yang's building opened. The disciples expected Mei Ying or Mei Xing to come out like usual, but the one who came out was unexpectedly Su Yang. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Su Yang and Chun Hua exchanged glances without greeting each other to hide the fact they knew each other.

"Junior apprentice-brother Xiao. I am Chun Hua, and I came here to offer you my respects. No Outer Court disciple has ever become the Yang Qi King."

Su Yang's appearance surprised the disciples there for a brief second, allowing Chun Hua to speak without any interference.

"Thank you, Senior apprentice-sister Chun." Su Yang acknowledged her with a handsome smile and a slight bow.

"You seem to be heading somewhere. Are you going to take the Inner Court disciple assessment now?" Chun Hua asked.

"Yes, I am. I made an appointment before the Yang Qi King concluded." "In other words, you knew you'd become the Yang Qi King?" Chun Hua smiled.

"Isn't that natural?" Su Yang smiled back.

He looked at the dumbfounded disciples and continued, "Therefore, I won't have the time to accompany you. Sorry."

"It's okay. We understand that your promotion is more important."

"We should be the ones apologizing for bothering you, Senior apprentice-brother Xiao."

"Yeah. Sorry, Senior apprentice-brother."

The disciples there started addressing Su Yang as their senior despite being in the sect for much longer than him.

Not only was he about to become an Inner Court disciple, but he was also the Yang Qi King, a title even Inner Court disciples must respect.

"Can I come with you? I want to watch the moment you become an Inner Court disciple." Chun Hua suddenly requested.

"I don't mind." Su Yang nodded.

"Can I also come?!" Another disciple asked.

"Me too!"

Su Yang then said, "Anyone who wants to come, I have no reason to stop you."

"I'll come!"

"I can't wait to see Senior apprentice-brother Xiao in his Inner Court uniform!"

"Where's your partner? She's not coming?" One of the disciples suddenly asked.

"She fell asleep from exhaustion and probably won't wake up anytime soon," he calmly responded.

The disciples there showed envious expressions on her faces after hearing this.

Su Yang left the Outcast Peak shortly after and went to take the assessment. He was followed by a hundred Outer Court disciples and a dozen Inner Court disciples. His group attracted the attention of those nearby. They wondered where Su Yang was taking such a large group of female disciples and decided to follow him to find out.

By the time Su Yang reached his destination, the group following him had grown to almost 300 disciples, three times the original amount.

The Boundless Yin Yang Sect had an area specifically for the Inner Court assessment, and it was an entire floating island that resembled the wilderness.

Su Yang landed before the only building on that island and entered it.

There was a beautiful woman sitting behind a desk inside, who appeared to be sleeping at first but opened her eyes once Su Yang entered the building.

"Disciple Xiao Yang, correct?" she inquired in a nonchalant tone, almost as if she wasn't interested at all.

"Indeed, you are correct."

"The Inner Court disciple assessment will be split into three parts. First, you must find an object we've hidden somewhere on this island within seven days." The Sect Elder retrieved a golden bead that emitted a faint glow and showed it to him.

"There will be spiritual beasts between the Sovereign Spirit Realm and the Divine Spirit Realm roaming on the island. For the second part of the assessment, you'll need to hunt either one Divine Spirit Realm spiritual beast or ten Sovereign Spirit Realm spiritual beasts. This must also be done within seven days."

"You don't need to know the final part for now. I will tell you once you pass the first two. If you fail this assessment, you will not be able to take it again for another four years. Do you have any questions?"

"No, I do not." Su Yang answered.

This wasn't his first time taking the assessment, after all.

"Then your time will begin once you step outside this building," said the Sect Elder.

Without waiting around, Su Yang immediately left the building and flew straight into the wilderness.

The island wasn't very big and could be explored within three days. However, the spiritual beasts there made traversing it much more difficult and dangerous.

Of course, this assessment was akin to a joke to someone like Su Yang. Not only was his cultivation overqualified, but he also knew the locations of all the hiding spots for the golden bead. He could easily complete this assessment in a few hours, much less seven days.
