In the afternoon.
Le Caiwei took Xu Ning to Spring Moon Courtyard Room 6.
The residents of the first ten Spring Moon Courtyard rooms were all well-known inner sect elites.
And Spring Moon Courtyard Room 6 was the residence of Xiao Qiyun, the leader of the Seven Boxers.
However, he traveled all year round, so Spring Moon Courtyard Room 6 had become a meeting place for the Seven Boxers.
“The participants of today’s meeting are all middle and senior members of Class Four and Class Three.”
Le Caiwei said to Xu Ning.
Prior to this, Le Caiwei had told Xu Ning about the situation in the Seven Boxers.
In the Seven Boxers, Xiao Qiyun was the only one in Class Six, with four people in Class Five. Le Caiwei was in Class Four, so she had a relatively high status in the Seven Boxers.
Although her strength was not in the void realm, she was born in a big family in the city, and the family behind her was rich in resources, so she had a relatively large influence in the Seven Boxers.
“I will directly recommend you to Class Three.”
Le Caiwei said, “If everything goes well, a person named Guo Yuechun will definitely block it in every possible way, so you should be mentally prepared.”
“Understood.”
Xu Ning was not too surprised.
Competition among internal cliques was not unexpected.
Le Caiwei brought Xu Ning to Spring Moon Courtyard Room 6.
Many people had already arrived at the first floor of the attic.
They looked at Le Caiwei standing next to Xu Ning.
‘There are at least three to four void realm martial artists here.’
Xu Ning felt a lot of pressure from several people.
“The Yuelan Sect really is powerful. This is just a small group of inner disciples, yet there are so many void realm martial artists here.”
Xu Ning was impressed by the power of the Yuelan Sect.
In the outside world, a void realm martial artist would be extremely powerful.
Moreover, the void realm martial artists here were all young people.
Although after advancing to the void realm, one’s rate of aging would be greatly decreased, one’s appearance was still a sign of vigorous vitality.
“Caiwei, is this the newcomer you brought?”
Someone asked Le Caiwei.
“That’s right.”
Le Caiwei responded.
Xu Ning stood on the side and did not speak.
Soon, everyone participating in the meeting had arrived.
The last one who came in was a young woman with an enchanting figure and heavy makeup on her face.
After she walked in, she greeted the Class Four crowd, but skipped Le Caiwei.
When her eyes made contact with Xu Ning, she only glanced at him for a second.
Xu Ning speculated that she should be Le Caiwei’s opponent, Guo Yuechun.
“Everyone is here, right?”
Sitting in the front position was a young man with a refined body and a dignified appearance.
This person’s name was Ning Xun, and he was the strongest and most influential person in Class Four.
“Then, let’s start today’s meeting.”
He glanced at Xu Ning and then began to speak.
Xu Ning sat next to Le Caiwei.
The content of the meeting was mostly related to the recent affairs in the sect or the Seven Boxers.
Xu Ning could hardly understand what they were talking about.
He just sat there as a listener for the time being.
The meeting was done in about half an hour.
After Ning Xun finished the final summary, he looked at Le Caiwei and said, “Caiwei, are you recommending a newcomer today?”
“Yes, Brother Ning.”
Le Caiwei stood up, looked around, and said, “His name is Xu Ning. He is an inner disciple who entered yesterday, and I am going to recommend him to Class Three.”
‘Class Three?’
When Le Caiwei said this, everyone present was a little surprised.
Everyone looked at Xu Ning with a curious look.
A newcomer starting at Class Three was rare in the Seven Boxers.
“Le Caiwei, are you kidding me?”
Guo Yuechun crossed her long legs as she leaned back in her chair. “He is a new disciple who has not even contributed much to the Seven Boxers, so why should he be in Class Three?”
“I see that his strength is only in the spirit realm. Do you know how many spirit realm martial artists are there in the Seven Boxers? And quite a few of them are in Class Two or even Class One, so why is he so special that he should be a Class Three?”
“Le Caiwei, this is not your call.”
Guo Yuechun did not hide her look of contempt at all.
Le Caiwei’s eyes were cold. “As a Class Four, I have a special recommendation spot every year. This year, I will use this recommendation spot for Xu Ning.”
The two were going head-to-head with one another.
Xu Ning sat on the side with a calm expression.
Although he was in the middle of the dispute, he did not seem to care
“Then you should also know that the special recommendation also depends on the qualifications of the disciple.”
Guo Yuechun sneered. “Did he make any special contributions, or is his strength far beyond his peers?”
“In other words, if he is not outstanding in any aspect, does he come from a big family?”
After Guo Yuechun said this, Le Caiwei’s face suddenly became cold.
Guo Yuechun was publicly humiliating her.
“Yuechun.”
Ning Xun glanced at her. “Enough.”
When Guo Yuechun heard those words, she paused for a second, but she still said, “I don’t agree to designate this person as a Class Three.”
“What do you guys think?”
Ning Xun’s gaze swept across the faces of more than a dozen Class Fours.
“I think it’s fine.”
“I disagree. His strength is too poor.”
“…”
More than a dozen Class Fours began to express their opinions.
Most of the ones that agreed had a close relationship with Le Caiwei, while the ones that disagreed were all on the side of Guo Yuechun.
Xu Ning watched all of this quietly.
This incident allowed Xu Ning to figure out some of the interpersonal relationships here.
“Okay.”
Ning Xun instantly stopped the crowd.
“Whether Xu Ning is a Class Three, I will decide.”
Ning Xun said, “Generally speaking, outsiders who have contributed nothing and are in the spirit realm, belong to Class Two. But Xu Ning has Caiwei’s recommendation this year, so we’ll relax the conditions.”
“As long as we can confirm that Xu Ning’s strength meets the standards of Class Three, then I will allow him to be a Class Three, fair enough?”
As soon as Ning Xun finished talking, the crowd was silent.
But afterwards, everyone agreed.
Guo Yuechun was obviously not very happy, but she couldn’t refute Ning Xun directly.
Ning Xun was the only void realm second stage martial artist in Class Four. Additionally, he had made huge contributions to the Seven Boxers. He had a bright future ahead of him.
“Xu Ning, do you have any opinions?”
Ning Xun looked at Xu Ning.
“No.”
Xu Ning stood up.
Ning Xun’s requirement for being in the spirit realm was nothing to Xu Ning.
With the third level of Tidal Fist superimposed with the third level of the Flame Breath Bone Sutra, Xu Ning could even suppress semi void realm demon beasts.
“Are there spirit realm warriors that will fight against Xu Ning?”
Ning Xun asked everyone.
When Guo Yuechun heard that, she turned to look at one of the Class Fours.
This person was tall and ugly, with an aggressive face slapped on top.
Guo Yuechun gave the man a look.
After seeing Guo Yuechun look at him, the man was delighted at first before getting up immediately.
“I’ll go!”
The man looked at Xu Ning with an eager look.
Le Caiwei’s eyebrows moved.
Shen Qiulun.
This person had a crush on Guo Yuechun.
Before Guo Yuechun was promoted to a void realm martial artist, Shen Qiulun had been following Guo Yuechun.
And now that Guo Yuechun had reached the void realm, Shen Qiulun’s attitude towards Guo Yuechun became more humble and submissive.
Although Le Caiwei looked down on him very much, she had to admit that Shen Qiulun was strong.
However, facing Xu Ning…
Le Caiwei slowly revealed a smirk on her face.
Shen Qiulun was strong. He had trained his punching technique to level two, which was much stronger than Le Caiwei.
But he was no match compared to Xu Ning’s Tidal Fist.
“What?”
Guo Yuechun saw Le Caiwei’s smile.
‘Could it be…’
Guo Yuechun’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Qiulun.”
Guo Yuechun suddenly said, “Do your best.”
Shen Qiulun smiled unconsciously, showing his teeth.
“Of course.”
Shen Qiulun gave Guo Yuechun a thumbs up.
Guo Yuechun smiled again.
“Xu Ning, right? Come on, I’ll test you.”
Shen Qiulun was ready to go all out.
He didn’t think Xu Ning was worthy of being his opponent.
There were almost no people who could cultivate a void realm secret technique to level two while being in the spirit realm.
If he didn’t waste so much time on his void realm secret technique, he might have advanced to the void realm already.
This kind of extreme self-confidence made Shen Qiulun feel that he would definitely win.
“Please enlighten me.”
Xu Ning took a step back.
Everyone present had already created space for the two of them.
Xu Ning was ready. He glanced at Le Caiwei.
Le Caiwei saw Xu Ning’s gaze and gave him a look.
Xu Ning knew that Le Caiwei wanted him to use his full strength.
‘Ever since my Flame Breath Bone Sutra reached level three, my body strength has finally improved again. Although I am still in the mortal realm for now, combined with Tidal Fist at the third level, my full strength should be a magnitude higher than before.’
Xu Ning looked forward to displaying his full strength.
“Come on!”
Shen Qiulun shouted.
Xu Ning did not intend to wait any longer.
Xu Ning activated his internal qi.
His internal qi began to flow between the meridians in his body, transforming his strength, shifting between cold and hot.
His two void realm secret techniques of “fire” and “water” characteristics, had gradually transitioned to a “nature” characteristic.
Xu Ning felt like his body was swelling.
All of the qi and force condensed in his fists.
“Ha!”
Xu Ning shouted and rushed forward.
A fierce momentum radiated from Xu Ning.
He clenched his fist, preparing his punch.
Xu Ning threw out a quadruple strength punch!
‘Sh*t!’
Prior to this, Shen Qiulun looked relaxed.
But when Xu Ning threw out his punch, the instincts of a spirit realm martial artist suddenly made him feel a sense of fear.
He suddenly felt his back sweat.
Shen Qiulun instinctively wanted to avoid this punch.
However, Xu Ning’s speed was too fast.
The fist turned into a flash of light, arriving in front of Shen Qiulun’s face.
Shen Qiulun had no choice but to face the punch.
He also used his void realm secret technique, punching at Xu Ning’s fist!
Bang!
The punches collided.
Shen Qiulun’s arm made a crisp bone cracking sound. His arm then began to twist and deform.
Shen Qiulun’s body was struck by Xu Ning’s tremendous strength.
Shen Qiulun began to vomit blood.
Xu Ning’s powerful force not only shattered his arm, but also penetrated into his body.
Shen Qiulun’s internal organs went into shock and were filled with hidden injuries.
“Um…”
Ning Xun, who was sitting in the head seat, didn’t expect this to happen at all.
After seeing Shen Qiulun being knocked into the air, he reacted immediately.
He flew over and caught Shen Qiulun from falling.
Ning Xun twisted his wrist behind Shen Qiulun, absorbing Xu Ning’s remaining force, before placing Shen Qiulun on the ground.
Instantly, the atmosphere was dead silent.
Shen Qiulun had already passed out.
It was either because his injuries were too severe, or he was too furious at his failure.
“Xu Ning, nicely done!”
Le Caiwei could hardly contain her excitement.
Even though she knew Xu Ning’s true strength, she did not expect that Xu Ning would defeat Shen Qiulun in one blow.
Xu Ning’s combat potential was the closest to a void realm warrior Le Caiwei had ever seen.
“Xu Ning, how dare you injure your fellow colleague!”
Guo Yuechun stood up suddenly with a terrible look on her face.
She spoke in an aggressive tone.
“I will report you to an inner sect deacon. You have just arrived here, but you’re already hurting your fellow colleagues!”
Guo Yuechun’s face was full of hatred.
She was angry at Xu Ning for being so strong, as well as Shen Qiulun for being so weak.
Everyone knew that Shen Qiulun was representing her in this fight.
But now, she had lost her face in such a fiasco.
“Guo Yuechun!”
Before Xu Ning said anything, Ning Xun coldly snorted. “Don’t be too presumptuous!”
“Xu Ning and Shen Qiulun are both spirit realm martial artists, so they are equivalent in strength. How is this not a fair fight?”
Guo Yuechun had to hold back for now.
She glanced at Xu Ning first, then stared at Le Caiwei before saying coldly, “Just wait and see!”
Afterwards, Guo Yuechun went outside without even looking at Shen Qiulun.
Ning Xun was rather helpless after seeing this. He then looked at a Class Three disciple.
The disciple carried Shen Qiulun, who had passed out, away for treatment.
Ning Xun also finally made the decision in front of everyone. “Now, everyone knows Xu Ning’s strength. From now on, Xu Ning will be a Class Three disciple of the Seven Boxers.”
“Thank you, Brother Ning.”
Xu Ning cupped his fists towards Ning Xun.
What happened just now gave Xu Ning a good impression of Ning Xun.
“Caiwei, recruiting Xu Ning is a demonstration of your vision.”
Ning Xun praised Le Caiwei in front of everyone.
Ning Xun waved his hand. “Let’s stop today’s meeting here.”
Everyone began to leave.
But before leaving, everyone looked at Xu Ning again.
They knew very well that another strong character had joined the Seven Boxers.
