Dragon Blood Devil Soldier

Upon stepping into the Inner Palace, Long Bufan and the rest could see numerous groups of people gathered in the great hall, densely packed as though they were ants, flying around, releasing a type of vitality.    

    

"They look like they're in a hurry?"    

    

Long Bufan could not help but ask doubtfully, because he realized that these sect disciples who were dressed in the attire of the Inner Palace were all currently flying in the same direction.    

    

Hearing that, Lei Meng, Long Yunfei and the other two also realized this, and all of them looked at the black-robed deacon by the side in puzzlement.    

    

"Today just happens to be the winter inner hall competition. Your luck is really good to be able to encounter such a grand gathering right after entering the inner hall." His tone seemed to contain a trace of impatience as he continued, "I'll arrange a good room for all of you later. I still want to go watch the upcoming season's season."    

    

"Quarterly competition?" Long Bufan and the others were a little taken aback. There was no such thing in the Outer Palace.    

    

"Yes, in the inner hall of the Spirit Profound Martial House, there are three hundred direct disciples and a thousand core disciples. Every single one of them can be said to be an outstanding genius who has gone through thousands upon thousands of selections, and on the outskirts, there are still several thousands of ordinary inner hall disciples. As long as they work hard, they can become core disciples of the inner hall at any time."    

    

black-robed deacon, who was standing in front of Long Bufan and the rest, pointed to the center of the palace. There was an especially huge Hall there, standing in the clouds above the mountain peak.    

    

This Hall was located at the main hall of the Inner Palace and was called Blue Cloud Hall. It could be said to be the head of the other halls and was the place where the Lord Sect Master and the other big shots of the other sects could enter.    

    

And every quarter, the Inner Palace's Quarterfinals would be held on the huge plaza in front of the Hall.    

    

To put it bluntly, it meant that they would check the cultivation situation of the Inner hall disciple every quarter. An outstanding person would obtain the opportunity to challenge the core disciples, and in this way, would be able to stimulate the disciples' heart of martial arts, and thereby strengthen the core strength of the sect.    

    

Furthermore, every season, there would be a few Inner hall disciple s who performed outstandingly and successfully and were promoted to become core disciples. Therefore, even though there was a quarterly competition, every season was still the most lively day, because it was only on this day that ordinary Inner hall disciple would have the chance to enter the Blue Cloud Hall.    

    

"However, the name of the core disciple is limited and it has always been maintained for a thousand people. So, every time someone advances to become a core disciple, it also means that someone will be replaced. After losing the spot as a core disciple, they will be reduced to an ordinary disciple in the inner palace."    

    

There was a trace of pride in black-robed deacon's tone as he said, "For example, half a year ago, I relied on one of the core disciples to take over that person's position."    

    

"Challenge Core Disciple ?" Hearing that, Long Bufan was moved, he felt that this method of promotion was somewhat stimulating, and could encourage better competition between disciples.    

    

This kind of method was similar to two groups of people fighting each other. If the core disciples did not try to run for their lives, they would be caught by the Inner hall disciple and pulled down from the ranks. On the other side, in order for Inner hall disciple to become a core disciple, he had to work even harder and pull down the people above.    

    

"Senior brother, then you are truly amazing. You actually managed to pull down a core disciple. I'm guessing your strength is quite outstanding."    

    

Long Bufan immediately fawned along with the opportunity, and then said with a grin: "Senior Brother, may I ask if you guys can take us to the scene of the competition to increase our experience, then arrange a place for us to stay later?"
