Qiu Heng

The core of the Dragon, the center of the Sect and home to all

Core and Direct disciples.

This place is what every disciple in the Sect calls the 'Sect's

Pillar.'

Why? Because every disciple in here will become the future

pillar, who keeps this Sect standing.

Tian Yi looked around, but could not see even a single disciple

outside.

It was normal for this place to be empty.

Every single disciple that lives here is a genius.

As a hardcore Cultivator, time is gold and every single second

Cultivating is a mile worth of advantageous they have over

each other.

Just because they were Core disciples did not mean they will

have all the resources they need.

Unlike Direct disciples who had everything they needed to

Cultivate without worry, they had to fight for the rankings.

The higher the ranking, the more resources you will get and

ultimately, the more advantaged you will be for the next

ranking.

Rankings will reset every year, making it so that everyone will

have a chance to rank higher.

To reach a higher rank, you can either do Sect missions for

points or fight each other for points.

When you fight someone, you will gain 100 points for victory

and lose 75 for defeat.

If they are a higher rank than you, the 100 points will multiply

by the differences in your ranks.

Such as if you are ranked 10, and you won against a rank 7,

your 100 points will multiply by 3 and make it 300.

But, if you fight a lower rank, that also happens, such as rank

7 fighting a rank 10. You will instead lose 10 points ever rank,

so this win will only gain 70 points.

After more than a ten rank difference, you will get no points

for winning.

However, only the challenger can lose points.

The challenged will not lose any points if he is defeated and

will gain points if he wins.

This was so that these in the higher ranks can not bully the

lower ones.

The second way is for these who does not like to fight but still

wants to earn some points or these who are injured and could

not fight for a while.

Sect Missions is when someone sends a request to the Sect

asking for help and rewards them for completing it.

Not only will you get rewards, but you will also get ranking

points.

Although you won't get as much as fighting, it is still a pretty

good way to earn points, unless you do the extremely hard

ones.

Although the Sect wants them to fight for resources, they can't

make it too competitive.

Why? They are all Core disciples at the end of the day and are

all geniuses. So why try to prevent them from growing? This

method was only so they can feel a bit of pressure and still

fight for better resources.

* * * *

Tian Yi walked around looking at the scenery and stops when

he hears a low banging sound.

He looked to the direction of the sound to see a handsome

young man, with his upper body half naked, punching a metal

wall.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Every time he punched the metal wall; it will sink in a few

inches.

"Hoooo" He stopped to take a deep breath.

The dented metal wall started to regenerate, and in seconds, it

returned to looking like new.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

He resumed punching the metal wall.

After repeating this for another five times, he finally stops and

noticed Tian Yi watching him.

He had a surprised face when he saw him without his uniform.

He did not remember someone like him being one of the Core

or Direct disciples.

Could he be a guest?

But how can a guest possibly enter the Core of the Dragon?

Even someone with an extremely big background was not

allowed back here.

He became curious at this young man's identity.

"Hello, how may I help you?" He asked in a friendly tone.

"Nothing, I was only exploring this place until I saw you

practicing and became interested."

"Is that so? I am called Qiu Heng, how should I address you?"

He asked.

"I am Tian Yi." He smiled.

"So it's Junior Brother Yi."

"May I ask what you are doing in the Profound Dragon Spirit

Sect? If you don't want to tell me, you can just refuse."

"It's nothing important. I am only here to sell some Pills."

Qiu Heng was even more surprised now.

He's only here to sell things, yet he was allowed in the Core of

the Dragon?

He is even more curious now.

"It looks like you were just training your body strength. Does

it really help by punching a wall?" Tian Yi asked.

He has never done any type of body strengthening, so he did

not know what it was like to train the body.

"You have never tempered your body?" Qiu Heng was

surprised again.

Although Cultivators can Cultivate just by sitting down and

gathering Spirit Power, that only strengthens their Cultivation

and not their body.

Just because you had a strong Cultivation did not mean your

body was strong.

If you were fighting and someone slashed your flesh with a

sword, how will your weak body protect against that?

You can't, which is why Cultivators not only Cultivates but

also does Body Tempering.

If you strengthen your body to the point of it being like steel,

will that sword even scratch your skin?

Some Cultivators in the higher Realms even had bodies so

strong; not even Immortal Treasures can harm a hair on their

body.

People say the scariest kind of Cultivator is not an Invincible

Cultivator, but a Strong Cultivator with an Invincible body.

"No, I have not." He didn't lie.

He has only been alive for 18 Years and only had time for

Cultivation and knowledge, where will he get the time for

Body Tempering? And it's not like he needs it either.

"…" Now that he looked at Tian Yi again, he couldn't feel any

Cultivation in him.

"Are you a Mortal?" He asked.

"No."

"?" Qiu Heng was confused.

"Then how come I can't feel any Cultivation coming from

you?"

"I don't know." He lied.

"Weird…" Qiu Heng thought.

"Say, do you think I can also try it out?"

"That Body Tempering thing you were just doing."

He wanted to experience what it was like to train his body.

"Hm? Sure, but remember not to use your Cultivation when

punching, or else it'll lose the meaning to Body Tempering."

If you used your Cultivation, would it even be called Body

Tempering?

"Okay." He nodded as he walked towards the steel wall.

* * * *

"Okay, now all you have to do is focus the strength in your

whole body into your punching hand."

"And when you feel your hand is getting stronger, just punch

out as hard as you can."

Qiu Heng instructed him like a teacher.

"Ah, this steel wall can regenerate, right? I don't want to break

it." Tian Yi asked.

Qiu Heng made an amusing face when he heard that.

"Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry. No matter how hard you

hit it, it won't break."

"Hell, even if you do, nobody will blame you!" He laughed.

This steel wall will generate no matter how much it's beaten.

Even if you burn it or bite it, it will still regenerate until it is

like new again.

"You promise?" Tian Yi had to make sure.

"Of course!" Qiu Heng laughed.

"Ah, it might hurt at first, so try not to punch too—" He tried

to warn him before he hurts himself.

But his words were caught in his throat and was stuck there.

*BANG*

The sound of a metal wall being hit was so loud, it resounded

throughout the entire Profound Dragon Spirit Sect and even

scared some disciples awake from their Cultivation.

"Fuck! Who the fuck is walking around banging two woks

together?!"

"Aiya, I almost pissed my pants!"

"Fuck you! How will you take care of the responsibilities if

someone fails to breakthrough because of that?!"

Everybody was cursing at the one who did that.

The once quiet Sect instantly turned noisy.

Meanwhile, Qiu Heng was standing there like a dumb chicken.

He looked at the place where the 'steel wall' used to be.

There was nothing!

The only thing he can see are these black dots flying in the air!

It had turned into dust! He punched the steel wall into dust!

How the fuck was that even possible?

He has never heard of a regenerating steel wall being punched

to dust!

How the fuck is it going to regenerate now?!

"You lied to me! What 'it will regenerate no matter what.' I

only turned it into dust, yet why is it not regenerating?" Tian

Yi felt wronged.

He even held back, so that it would not be destroyed to the

point of even the dust not remaining.

"Bullshit! What lies?! If you turn it into dust, obviously it will

not regenerate!"

"No wait, how is that even possible?! How did you do it?!"

Qiu Heng did not dare to believe that this young man here

could have such strength, that he could even punch the steel

wall to dust!

"Hmph, not telling."

"Also, you said that no one would blame me if I broke it."

"So what you saw here did not happen!" Tian Yi said with a

calm voice.

"Bullshit! What 'it did not happen'! If I forget someone

punching the steel wall to dust, I'll surely be brain dead at that

time!"

"And how am I going to explain what happened to the steel

wall?!"

"Am I going to tell my Elders, 'Oh yeah, someone punched it

to dust, so it's not here anymore'?!?!?"

"Fuck you! You take responsibility for this!" Qiu Heng was

angry.

How the hell is he going to explain this?! The unbreakable

steel wall suddenly disappeared, and he was the last one to use

it! At least that's what the Elders are aware of!

"Ah! You're breaking your promise! That's not good; it'll

make your soul turn black! You must keep your promise and

not blame me!"

"Aiya, look at the time, I have to hurry back! See you later!"

Tian Yi acted like he was late to a gathering.

Qiu Heng almost coughed up blood when he heard that he was

trying to run away.

"Wait!!!" He screamed.

But it was too late! That young man had disappeared like he

was never here in the first place!

"Fuck you! What 'see you later'!"

"I hope I will never see you again!!!" He was so angry he

started screaming at the air.

* * * *

At the Outer Court, under a tree, an unnatural breeze came.

*whoosh*

A figure appears out of thin air.

Tian Yi had cold sweats on his forehead.

"That brat! I'll beat him up the next time I see him for lying to

me!"

As the son of the Celestial Emperor and also a mother's wellbehaving son, how can he go around breaking people's stuff

without any reason?

Even that one time when he broke the Xiao Family's carriage,

he felt bad and almost gave them a better one as a

replacement. But they rejected it and wanted to walk instead.

He even made Qiu Heng promise not to blame him if it broke!

Now not only did it break, but the other party also broke his

promise and blamed him.

While he was cursing at Qiu Heng for breaking his promise,

Lao Bai had just finished talking to the Sect Master with Elder

Zhou.

The Sect Master didn't dare to believe his ears when he heard

the news from Elder Zhou.

There was a young man who can make Perfect grade Profound

True Qi Cultivation Pills just by flipping his hand?

Bullshit! Was what he had thought.

But after seeing the Perfect Grade Pill, he started to believe it.

That's when Lao Bai said a few magic words to him, and he

was instantly shocked.

"I have followed Young Master Yi all my life. He was born

with a godly Innate talent for Pill making and started making

Pill at age 3!" Is what he said.

"What!" The Sect Master instantly asked him to bring him to

this Young Master of his.

The three of them hurriedly walked from the Sect Master's

house all the way to the Outer Court.

While they were walking, every disciple that saw them had a

fright and immediately greeted them.

The Sect Master rarely came outside of his house, but when he

did, it was only for something important.

But what could possibly be so important in the Outer Court

that the Sect Master had to come personally?

Every disciple was curious but didn't dare to follow.

The Sect Master and Elder Zhou followed Lao Bai to his

Young Master.

When they got there, they saw him under a tree with a frown

on his face.

Elder Zhou almost had a scare. Did he make him wait too

long? Didn't he want to walk around? Or did some disciple

offend him?

"Young Master Yi, we are done. Didn't you want to walk

around? Did something happen?" Elder Zhou asked with a

worried face.

Tian Yi had a fright and said, "Eh? Ah, I already did."

"So quick?" Elder Zhou thought.

"Aiya, you must be Junior Brother Yi, I am sorry I made you

wait so long." The Sect Master stepped foward to apologize.

If disciples were here to see this, they would've definitely

been shocked.

The Sect Master addressed someone as a Junior Brother! He

even apologized!

"Ah, don't worry, it wasn't that long." Tian Yi smiled.

"Then without any more delay, I will lead you to my housing."

The Sect Master began leading them.
