"A true disciple?" Lin Shen looked puzzled.
Xie Jingsheng slapped his forehead. Only then did he remember that with Lin Shen's background, he probably didn't know about these things. He patiently explained,
"When you entered the academy, you should have heard of the academy's rules for eliminating disciples, right?"
Lin Shen nodded.
Of course, he had heard of it. It was Yang Zhongyi who told him.
Every year, the Nine Yang Academy would eliminate the 50 disciples ranked last in terms of strength and cultivation.
In fact, the academy had just eliminated 50 people not long ago.
"Most of the disciples who are eliminated from the academy will become outer sect disciples of the sect. These are also the lowest-level disciples of the sect. Above them are inner sect disciples and true disciples!"
Xie Jingsheng spoke slowly.
