Chapter 2169 - 2128: My Name Is Wang Xiaoqiang

In front of the mountain gate of the Kaoshan Sect, a recruitment station for disciples was set up. At this moment, many people had gathered; among them were children from the village at the foot of the mountain. Judging by their clothes and appearances, they were very simple and plain.

Of course, there were also some martial world ruffians with a crude aura. Moreover, Wang Xiaoqiang noticed that these people varied in nature, coming from all kinds of backgrounds and were not simple at all. Some of them didn't even seem to be good people, looking fierce and evil, yet the Kaoshan Sect only briefly questioned them before accepting them.

In contrast, those who resembled simple village youths ended up not being selected and left, disappointed and dejected.

"This Kaoshan Sect seems a bit peculiar." After observing for a while, Wang Xiaoqiang felt very strange, yet he still flew down in front of the gate of the Kaoshan Sect.

His appearance immediately drew the attention of some people. Upon seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang's Heavenly Being Stage seemed quite ordinary, their gaze shifted away from him.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't think any further, immediately lining up at the back of the queue, waiting for the selection process, and continued observing the situation.

Just like what he had observed previously, the members in charge of recruiting disciples at the Kaoshan Sect first examined the candidates' qualifications and cultivation base, then proceeded to ask them a few questions.

Wang Xiaoqiang noticed that the questions were about assessing their personalities, such as whether a person was kind or evil, whether their behavior was indecisive or decisive and capable,

what their character was like, whether cowardly or strong and tough, how they reacted towards friends and enemies...

Wang Xiaoqiang listened intently. He discovered that those with cowardly personalities were immediately dismissed; they weren't accepted, whereas those with strong and tough personalities were admitted. It's nothing strange; any sect wouldn't want disciples who are cowardly, as cowardice implies incompetence.

He also discovered that decisive and capable people were more welcomed. Those kind-hearted ones, such as the simple village youths from below the mountain, were not accepted, whereas those slightly sinister seemed favored. Although those who appeared truly evil weren't popular, they were somehow also accepted.

It was at this point that Wang Xiaoqiang seemed to understand some deeper insights. When it was his turn, he sat down in front of the two personnel responsible for recruiting disciples.

Both of these personnel were in the Divine Spirit Realm. They first used their Divine Sense to check Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base. His cultivation base, neither high nor low, still made them satisfied.

Then one of the personnel started asking basic questions like his name, age, and home address.

Wang Xiaoqiang answered each question. When asked about his address, he casually lied and surprisingly got away with it, clearly indicating they didn't care where he lived or his background.

Then, the other personnel began interrogating. He stared at Wang Xiaoqiang and asked, "Wang Xiaoqiang, let me ask you, when you have the ability to kill an enemy of yours, and this enemy is a big virtuous person, would you still kill him?"

"Of course, I would," Wang Xiaoqiang replied without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, that personnel's eyes shone brightly, yet he calmly asked, "Why?"

"Since there's enmity, if I don't kill him, he'll grow strong and certainly kill me. How does being a virtuous person change anything? A virtuous person will still kill," Wang Xiaoqiang explained.

That personnel nodded and asked again, "If that virtuous person had a young son, would you spare him?"

Wang Xiaoqiang still didn't hesitate and said, "I wouldn't."

"Why?"

"To eradicate the roots," Wang Xiaoqiang decisively replied.

The personnel's eyes brightened a bit more, but he maintained a calm demeanor, asking in a neutral tone, "Wang Xiaoqiang, let me ask you again, if you saved someone's life, and this person invites you to his home and wants to form a sworn brotherhood with you, would you agree?"

These questions posed by the personnel indeed probed into human nature and were sometimes difficult to answer.

But coincidentally, the question asked by this personnel happened to relate to Wang Xiaoqiang's recent experience, so he still didn't hesitate, decisively saying, "I wouldn't."

The personnel's eyes shone again but he calmly asked, "Why?"

"Major favors are as dangerous as major enmities. The benefactor becomes very dangerous," Wang Xiaoqiang stated.

The two personnel exchanged glances, then both turned their attention back to Wang Xiaoqiang, and the questioning personnel continued, "With such kindness, how would you refuse?"

"I would tell him that I want to retire into seclusion for cultivation," Wang Xiaoqiang replied. He knew in his heart that for those who received the favor, like Du Shuiyue, their biggest hope was for him either to die or never show up again, so no one would know Wang Xiaoqiang had saved his daughter, and no one would know he owed Wang Xiaoqiang a significant favor. That way, he would live more easily.

Seclusion, in fact, is a means of avoiding trouble.

Hearing this, the eyes of both personnel shone brightly. This time, they didn't hide their appreciation, as if discovering a piece of gold, nodding continuously. Wang Xiaoqiang was exactly the type of disciple they wanted to recruit.

"Alright, Wang Xiaoqiang, you've been accepted into the Kaoshan Sect," said the personnel.

Wang Xiaoqiang successfully entered the Kaoshan Sect. Together with a dozen other newly selected disciples, he followed a personnel into the Kaoshan Sect, entered the Deacon Hall, completed the entry procedures, and collected his identity token, Jade Pass, Communication Jade Slip, and clothes...

Wang Xiaoqiang noticed that the robes of the Kaoshan Sect disciples all had a distinct emblem embroidered on the cuff—a mountain. This was somewhat similar to the Linshui Sect's clothing emblem, except the Linshui Sect's robe cuffs were embroidered with a river pattern.

"A river, a mountain—does the Kaoshan Sect have some kind of connection with the Linshui Sect?" Wang Xiaoqiang pondered silently, staring at the mountain emblem on his sleeve.

"Alright, now follow me to the living quarters," the personnel shouted, and led them to the living area.

The Kaoshan Sect had four levels of disciples: Entry-Level Disciples, Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, and Elite Disciples.

Like Wang Xiaoqiang, the newly recruited disciples were Entry-Level Disciples, the lowest category with naturally the most meager benefits. Their living quarters were located in the Entry-Level disciples' area and were very basic, consisting solely of stone houses, each containing a large room with over a dozen stone beds, quite crowded.

To be honest, these living quarters were even worse than the collective dormitories Wang Xiaoqiang stayed in during junior high school, which housed only eight people. This crowded with over ten, dirty and messy like a pigsty.

"See, this is where you'll live, one stone bed per person," the personnel pointed inside the stone house, furrowing his brows before walking away directly. The mess inside the stone house was too unpleasant for even him to look at for long.

Thus, over a dozen disciples entered the stone house and began choosing their stone beds. At this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't hesitate, finding a bed by the window directly.

The stone house was dirty and messy, the air was bad, carrying the stench of sweat. Staying by the window would be somewhat better. Wang Xiaoqiang's move was to seize the opportunity.

However, unexpectedly, as Wang Xiaoqiang sat on the stone bed by the window, a burly man approached, pointed at the stone bed, glaring and imitating a buzzing sound at Wang Xiaoqiang saying, "Kid, that bed is mine, you, get out."

Wang Xiaoqiang paused, noticing that this burly man was also a cultivator at the Heavenly Human Realm, similar to his own cultivation level. Although both had reached Heavenly Being Stage and Unity of Heaven and Man, neither had cultivated the Divine Spirit, relaxing his mind, and then lay down directly on the stone bed, stating, "This bed doesn't have your name written on it, how is it yours?"

The burly man glared angrily and raised his voice, "This bed doesn't have your name written on it either..."

Before he could finish, Wang Xiaoqiang extended his finger and drew on the head of the stone bed. A flash of Spiritual Energy at his fingertip, like a sharp beam, carved three words into the stone bed—Wang Xiaoqiang.

Finished, Wang Xiaoqiang pointed at his name and said to the burly man, "See, now it does. Remember, I'm Wang Xiaoqiang."
