Chapter 103: shocking elder ma

Deacon Zhaos forehead was beaded with cold sweat, completely losing the proud and indifferent aura from moments before. 

If the news of his arbitrary agreement with the Hundred Sects Alliance was passed on to the headquarters, losing his deacon position was the least of his worries! What if they tried to hold him accountable?

Deacon Zhao quickly realized that the Azure Mountain Sect elder had come because of Jun Changxiao. Therefore he quickly said with a smile, Sect Head Jun, this Zhao will immediately certify you and the Ironbone Sect.

No, no, no. Jun Changxiao said, My Ironbone Sect is but a lowly sect. Without being a member of the Hundred Sects Alliance, how can I qualify for sect certification?

Deacon Zhao heard these words and his expression became ugly, as if hed swallowed a fly. 

Elder Mas cold voice could be heard again. As a representative of the Sect Certification Pavilion, you are actually not fairly following regulations, requiring Hundred Sects Alliance membership for verification, this is too ridiculous!

His last words were so forceful that it caused Deacon Zhaos consciousness to shiver and his legs to tremble. 

This was an elder of the fifth-grade Azure Mountain Sect. Forget telling the headquarters, if this matter spread even to just the Qingyang Branch, Deacon Zhaos fate would inevitably be very pitiful. 

Seeing how this guy had been frightened pale, Jun Changxiao thought, If I dont step on you like a dog, how can I face my angry disciples?

Pah!

Swiftly, Deacon Zhao raised a palm to hit himself on the face. He then flattered with a smile, Sect Head Jun, my brain was smashed by a door a moment ago. You, sir, are an important person, please do not lower yourself to my level.

This was also possible?

Li Qingyang and the others felt the corners of their mouths twitch. 

If his performance a moment ago could be described as proud and arrogant, the man had now turned into a dog wagging his tail the contrast honestly made people feel disgusted. 

Deacon Zhao, it was a bit light, Jun Changxiao indifferently said. 

Pah!

Deacon Zhao slapped his own face again, using more strength this time, such that a bright red handprint appeared on his right cheek. 

Enduring the burning pain, he forced on a cheerful expression. Sect Head Jun, are you satisfied?

Not satisfied, Jun Changxiao said. 

Pah! Pah!

Deacon Zhao was quite ruthless, directly slapping himself once on each cheek. Since he had put in effort to be as ferocious as possible, his nose was bleeding. 

Se-Sect Head Jun. His expression was slightly grotesque as he tried to smile. Sat-Satisfied now?

Since the other had hit himself with such sincerity, Jun Changxiao couldnt ask him to continue. Therefore he lightly said, Follow the procedure, lets verify.

Please, please. 

Deacon Zhao endured the pain, leading Jun Changxiao and the Ironbone Sect disciples to the training field in the backyard, where a stone shining with light was placed. 

Sect Head Jun, this is a cultivation base testing stone. I invite the honorable sect disciples to go up one by one. If the requirements are met, then the sect rank can be raised.

What are the requirements?

Five disciples reach over 2300 jin of strength.

Oh. 

Jun Changxiao understood. 

This so-called cultivation base testing stone was actually the same as the strength tester sold by the system. 

Li Fei, go and test.

Yes.

Li Fei walked over, but actually scratched his head and asked, Sect Head, do I use my feet or my fists?

With one hand cradling his cheek, Deacon Zhao told him, Regardless of hands or feet, as long as the strength is 2300 jin, it is counted as meeting the requirements.

Got it.

Lei Fei then lifted his leg and kicked, just like how he would kick the Happy Football. 

Bang

A kick rumbled into the test stone. 

Elder Ma, who had followed the group inside, was commenting to himself. His foundation is solid and he hasnt used spiritual energy. Given that he must have trained hard, the strength of this kick should definitely be about

Gah.

His thinking suddenly stopped and his eyes widened, because the test stone gradually presented the value: 3000 jin. 

This Deacon Zhao was also dumbfounded. 

As the representative of Qingyang Citys Sect Certification Pavilion, he had seen many sects disciples come and try out their strength. But he had never seen one who, purely on physical strength, could kick with 3000 jin of strength!

Ah, Li Fei shook his head. Im not used to it.

Little Mo.

Yes!

Su Xiaomo walked forward and also kicked one, reaching 3500 jin. He then shrugged and helplessly said, Sure enough, Im not used to it either.

Elder Ma and Deacon Zhao felt the corners of their mouths twitch. 

Two disciples had kicked and, using pure muscle strength, were comparable to Second Stage Martial Apprentices. This was simply unbelievable!

Lu Qianqian then walked over. With a gentle jade-like palm, her strength was 4000 jin.

This was also very casual, obviously she hadnt used full power!

Li Qingyang also walked over. He poured spirit power into his fist, punching the test stone. The value read at 5000 jin. 

Bang!

Tian Qi also struck the test stone. Without using spirit power, the strength of his fist was 3200 jin. 

Elder Ma and Deacon Zhao could feel their eyes getting bigger and bigger.

These Ironbone Sect disciples were only at First Stage Martial Apprentice, but each one could harness over 3000 jin of strength simply terrifying!

Deacon Zhao, Jun Changxiao said. My sects five disciples have met the requirement. Can we be certified as an eighth-grade sect?

Deacon Zhao regained his composure and hurried to say, According to the certification regulations, the honorable sect must also have five disciples who achieved Meridian Opening Stage Twelve.

Oh.

Jun Changxiao waved a hand. 

Zhang Wei and three other disciples who had broken through to Martial Apprentice also tested their strength, reaching over 3000 jin without exception. 

Except for Lu Qianqian and Li Qingyang, the Ironbone Sect disciples were either mid-grade spirit roots or below. That they could reach this strength value was due to training and the Body Reconstructing Pill. 

Elder Ma and Deacon Zhao were a little dizzy. 

If it were only a select few disciples who had a Second Stage Martial Apprentices strength, it could still be explained with innate strength. With so many disciples reaching over 3000 jin, how could they still blame it on innate strength?

It was not innate, but acquired. 

Sect Head Jun. Elder Ma glanced at Xiao Zuiji, saying, Will this disciple not test?

Jun Changxiao said, Zuiji, go punch it for Elder Ma to see.

Yes.

Xiao Zuiji handed the rifle over to Su Xiaomo before stepping up to the testing stone. He then took a deep breath before punching out. 

Strength value: 4600 jin. 

Elder Mas eyes immediately bulged and his jaw dropped, body entirely in shock. 

This child, who didnt have even a shred of spirit power, with only the purest physical strength, could unexpectedly harness nearly 5000 jin of strength! This was absolutely terrifying!

Zuiji?

Deacon Zhao remembered something and was startled. No wonder. He is the Xiao Family direct descendant Xiao Zuiji, who won the Sect Martial Arts Competition?

Jun Changxiao lightly said, Please remove the Xiao Family direct descendant and trade it for Ironbone Sect disciple, thank you.

Understood, understood! Deacon Zhao hurried to say. 

Elder Ma exclaimed, So hes the champion of the martial arts competition! No wonder his strength is so great.

Regarding the Ironbone Sect disciples taking the Top 4, he had also heard of it in the Azure Mountain Sect, discussing it with the sect leader and other elders. 

Sect Head Jun, Elder Ma amenably said. These children, under your guidance, will become dragons amongst men!

This was something he truly believed, not mere flattery. 

After all, bringing up a group of average disciples to this level was not something that even his Azure Mountain Sect could easily achieve.

Not just the Azure Mountain Sect, trade it for any high-tier sect, and it would be impossible to find such a powerful group of mediocre talents. 

Of course. 

The high-level sects wouldnt even accept mediocre talents as disciples because it was a waste of time, a waste of resources. 

Jun Changxiaos thoughts were different. He wanted to lead these disciples, which high-level sects regarded as trash, to become the favored ones of Heaven, simply because it was a challenge!
