In the entire outer sect competition, there are more than a thousand disciples participating. If there are eight people in each round, it will take at least more than a hundred games to complete the preliminary round. It is no wonder that every time the outer sect competition is held, The competition takes a long time, and you have to get to the arena from early in the morning. It is not like the Immortal Conference, which can be completed in half a day.
At this time, Ye Qingcheng noticed that some disciples in handyman uniforms were busy cleaning the surrounding stands and carrying items, and they looked quite young, which made him feel a little complicated. When he first came to the outer sect, Ye Qingcheng was curious about why all the disciples in the outer sect were registered disciples, and they had recruited a total of 400 people this time. Although they were scattered in various courtyards, there were still a lot of people. If this happens every time, why aren’t the secret areas of the two houses overcrowded?
These questions of his were all answered patiently by Qi Liuyuan.
The five major sects are basically divided into inner and outer sects. This is a system that has gradually evolved for the purpose of cultivating new disciples. Because of its good effect, various sects have followed suit, and some forces have changed. The names inner courtyard and outer courtyard actually mean the same thing. The disciples within the entire sect are divided into secret disciples, ordinary disciples and registered disciples. Secret disciples are disciples with extremely high qualifications, strong strength, and have been vigorously cultivated by the sect. Such people usually have extremely high status. The strength is also extremely tyrannical, which can be said to be the goal of every disciple, but the number is too small after all.
Ordinary disciples are all current disciples in the inner sect except for the secret disciples. They enjoy various rights and interests within the sect, and can also use sect contribution points, accept tasks, etc.
Registered disciples are the collective name for all outer sect disciples and those diligent disciples of the inner sect. The selection of this type of disciples does not need to go through the immortal meeting or special recruitment at all. As long as they are above the elder level, they can be selected at will. Take it. However, their rights and interests are very low. Although they can also use sect contribution points, they are not allowed to receive tasks or transfer them from others. Instead, they are issued a very small amount at regular intervals. It can be said that among the major sects, they are the most powerful. The disciple with the lowest status.
For example, the disciples of the Fourth Courtyard of the Outer Gate of Shushan, although they also belong to the ranks of registered disciples, they enjoy certain treatment. This is a place that the real registered disciples are very envious of, especially those who work around Ye Qingcheng and the others. The registered disciples looked at the people competing on the field with envy in their eyes.
As mentioned before, this is the reason why there are so many new disciples arriving every time, but the secret areas of the two academies are not overcrowded.
Except for the disciples who died in the secret realms of the two houses due to various trials, secret realms and tasks, the most critical reason for the decrease in the number of people every year is the elimination system at the end. When each new disciple comes, each dean will meet Select some disciples who have the lowest strength and qualifications and have no desire to work hard for elimination. Once eliminated by the Upper Fourth Academy, they will become responsible for diligent disciples and lose some of the treatment qualifications that the disciples of the Upper Fourth Academy should have. There will never be a turnaround in the future, but because of favors, most of the people eliminated each time are old disciples with long lifespans, which can be regarded as more humane. Because of this, the disciples of the Upper Fourth Academy generally practice hard. None of them are willing to become diligent disciples, which will not only bring shame to their faces, but also announce the end of the path of cultivation.
However, of course there are exceptions to this rule, and that is the Huangyuan. As mentioned before, the Huangyuan enjoys many privileges that the other three academies do not have, and the same is true for the elimination system at the end. The disciples of the Huangyuan can be separated from each other. Only one or two people were eliminated in a few sessions, which can be said to be quite humane. In addition, the overall qualifications of Huangyuan disciples are not high, and their longevity is generally not high. In fact, those who are eliminated every time are those old guys. They will not really go to Qinzayuan. Most of them continue to play supporting roles in Qinzayuan. It can be said that this is also a major benefit of being a disciple of Huangyuan.
Of course, with Ye Qingcheng's qualifications, there is no way he would be reduced to that level. He was just lamenting the gap between people. Ordinary disciples like these who really don't understand anything and have become cultivators from mortals, are mostly In the end, some of them will only end up in Qinza Hospital and die silently. Can't there be one or two strong men among them? Of course, there are probably only one or two among hundreds of people. Does aptitude really determine a person's end point? He has always been unwilling to believe this. Although he has incredible qualifications, if he was given a choice, he would rather choose to get ahead through hard work in an ordinary way. This was what he wanted to use when facing Li Ying, the general manager of the West Lake Villa. Wood attributes are used to prove that qualifications cannot determine everything. Unfortunately, I'm afraid he can't prove it. Ye Sanlang was once an ordinary person, and he was once happy to enjoy the real ordinaryness. However, after becoming Ye Qingcheng, he discovered that that ordinaryness was nothing in the world of cultivation. If he used If Ye Sanlang embarked on the road of cultivation, he would probably have worked hard to enter the Upper Fourth Courtyard, but ended up in the Qinza Courtyard.
However, the world of cultivation itself is a world of jungle. If he were not Ye Qingcheng but Ye Sanlang, let alone finding Li Sihan's reincarnation and protecting her in the future, he would not even be able to protect his own safety.
Just as he was sighing, as time went by, half of the preliminary round had passed. Many people Ye Qingcheng had met had participated, such as new disciples such as Ji Kaoyao, Guangdie Ji, and Xie Jin and Liu Meng. After these old disciples watched their competition, all the new disciples changed from their original ambitions to silence, which made many old disciples sneer. This is a process that all new disciples need to go through. When their ambitions are easily defeated by the old disciples of the same level, their ambitions disappear, and all the new disciples realize that the relationship between themselves and the old disciples difference.
Take Yaoguang as an example. When he faced Ji Kao, who was from a noble family, in the Immortal Conference, he easily captured the opponent's Concentrating Staff and defeated him with one blow. Many of his new disciples were deeply impressed, especially when they were trained in Tianyuan. Later, his strength became even more extraordinary. However, he calmly defeated an old disciple from Tianyuan who was also from Tianyuan but had an ordinary background and extraordinary appearance. This made people think deeply.
