Devil_Is_Here

Ye Tian, after surviving a calamity, got accepted as a servant disciple in Red Plum Sect. He has nothing but low aptitude, talent and potential....and one more thing, a strange symbol on his forehead. 
"Ye Tian, what are you doing?!"
"Ah! Just killing some beasts."

...

"Ye Tian, this skill is very difficult to learn."
"Don't worry, this is nothing. I need the strongest one here."

[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU LEVELED UP]

Martial System

As Old Luo heard him, his heart stirred with emotion. 


"Ye Tian, don't be stubborn and take it. I know that martial arts mean a lot to you."


"As for Xiaoba, don't worry about him. He isn't even 14, yet he reached the second layer of Qi Gathering. He is more talented than you and for him to reach the third layer of Qi Gathering before he turned 14 won't be a problem at all.


Xiaoba, one of the most talented servant disciples, for him to reach the peak of the second layer of Qi Gathering at only 13 years of age proved his ability. One of the requirements to participate in the entrance exam is one must be between 14 to 16 years of age. With his cultivation speed, reaching the third or even fourth layer of Qi Gathering at 14 years won't be a problem for him. 


Even Ye Tian envy him a bit due to his talent, but he also respects him in his heart.


He finally took the wooden box and put it under his robes.


"Thank you, Old Luo. I will definitely not disappoint you and will pass the entrance exam."


Ye Tian cupped his fists and left the room with a firm expression on his face. He was going to train before he uses the spirit stone. But just as he left, he saw Xiaoba standing with a smile on his face.


"Hm? What happened?" Ye Tian asked as he saw him smiling.


"Yeah, I can see that." Ye Tian gloomily replied.


"Hahaha, I will be waiting for you to reach my level, Brother. Then, we will spar to see who is better." 


"I will definitely reach your level soon. Just wait for me." Ye Tian was very confident as he left.


Ye Tian directly left towards Red Plum Mountain to train. Red Plum Sect was established beside Red Plum Mountain and that's the reason it got its name. Level one magical beasts were common on this mountain. And at the peak, there also resides some Level two magical beasts.


Magical beasts also absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth. They don't have cultivation stages like martial artists. Their strength is measured in levels.


Weakest of level one magical beast has the power of at least a martial artist with a third layer of Qi Gathering with some even with the power of the fourth layer of Qi Gathering.


The normal first level beast has the power of a martial artist with a fifth layer of Qi Gathering and stronger ones with at least sixth or even seventh layer of Qi Gathering.


Ye Tian was also aware of this, but he had no choice but to go. Martial artists with lower cultivation stages use a special type of tree to train and temper their body. Iron Head tree. Just as the name suggests, hitting it is comparable to hitting an iron wall.


This tree is considered rare, but not in Red Plum Sect. Red Plum Mountain is fully covered with these trees. All the outer court disciples temper their body with the help of these trees. Though they are not quite rare at Red Plum Sect, servant disciples weren't allowed to practice with them. And was considered as one of the most influential businesses of Red Plum Sect.


Servant disciples like Ye Tian have to risk their lives by entering Red Plum Mountain to use them to practice.
