YM778.TV Chapter 205: Duan Shu (1)
Her flowing, snowy hair and flawless skin seemed to radiate an ethereal glow, captivating everyone around her.
Her piercing eyes, which were gray, held a depth that seemed to reveal a thousand untold stories.
They sparkled with intelligence and wisdom, drawing Chen Tian in with their magnetic charm.
She was wearing a beautiful white robe decorated with golden embroidery that hugged her graceful figure, accentuating her every curve.
Two golden flower-shaped hairpins adorned her luscious locks, adding an extra touch of elegance to her already mesmerizing appearance.
Everything about her exuded grace and elegance, making it impossible for him to tear his eyes away.
He stood there, captivated by her beauty, unable to resist the enchantment of her graceful presence. It was as though she had emerged from a fairy tale and come to life before his eyes.
<<Duan Shu>>
"Is a sect\'s receptionist usually this captivating?" Chen Tian pondered to himself.
"Both of you should be new disciples," she said with an aloof tone.
"Yes, Elder..."
"Elder Duan." The woman spoke, her voice soft yet commanding.
"Yes, Elder Duan, we just arrived yesterday," Su Bingxin replied.
"We were instructed to come here to obtain the necessary information and guidance," Chen Tian explained.
Duan Shu nodded knowingly, her eyes scanning the two newcomers.
"Well, I wouldn\'t mind explaining things to you both," she said as she gave her gaze to the disciplines that were looking at them with a shocked expression.
With one glance of her icy gaze, everyone quickly averted their eyes and returned to their tasks.
"Both of you should have your identity token, right?" She asked.
Su Bingxin and Chen Tian nodded simultaneously, reaching into their waists to retrieve their identification tokens.
Duan Shu inspected them carefully, her expression softening slightly.
"Good," she said, her voice filled with authority.
Your identification tokens grant you access to all the necessary information and resources within the sect, so don\'t lose them.
Both of you put your spiritual Qi inside them," Duan Shu instructed.
Chen Tian and Su Bingxin obeyed Duan Shu instructions without hesitation.
They focused their energy and channeled their spiritual Qi into their identification tokens.
As they did so, a faint glow emanated from the tokens as words started to appear on the surface.
********
Name: Chen Tian
Discipline: Third-Rank Outer Discipline
Rank: 30,002
Points: 100
********
Looking at the numbers and words on his identification token, Chen Tian looked with interest, as it seemed close to what appears when he uses Chaos Insight.
Su Bingxin also got the same results on her identification token.
"Elder Duan, what does this mean?" Chen Tian asked, turning to Duan Shu for clarification.
Duan Shu, with an expressionist look, explained, "These numbers and words represent your current standing within the sect.
Your rank indicates your position among your peers, while your points signify your achievements and contributions." Chen Tian and Su Bingxin exchanged glances.
"Your discipline token is green and has one sword engraved on it, which means that you are a third-rank outer discipline, which is the weakest among the outer disciples. You can see that some people also have the same token, but with two swords or even three, right?" Duan Shu continued.
Chen Tian nodded, absorbing the information.
He saw on his way that some outer disciples had tokens with two or three swords engraved on them.
"One sword means that discipline is a third-rank outer discipline, which is the weakest in terms of skill and status.
Those with two swords mean that they are second-rank outer disciplines that are stronger than the third-rank disciples.
And those with three swords are first-rank outer disciples, the most skilled and respected among the outer disciples," Duan Shu explained.
Chen Tian realized that the number of swords on the token represented the disciple\'s level.
"This kind of ranking isn\'t only for outer disciplines; inner and Core disciples also have their own token systems," Duan Shu added.
"The Inner Disciplines tokens are blue, and as for the Core Disciplines, they have a violet token. A blue token with one sword means that the discipline is a third-ran inner discipline, which can beat many first-ran outer disciplines," Duan Shu kept explaining.
Chen Tian and Su Bingxin nodded, beginning to understand the significance of the tokens.
The token can also be used to purchase items and resources within the sect.
Higher-ranking disciples can exchange their points for powerful cultivation techniques or rare treasures.
Additionally, the tokens serve as a form of identification, allowing disciples to access restricted areas.
It became clear to Chen Tian and Su Bingxin that these tokens held great value and were a representation of their status and achievements within the sect, so they better not lose it in the future.
She also mentioned that every three months, the ranking in the sect would be reassessed as a battle between disciples took place. This battle would determine the new rankings and rewards for the disciples.
Chen Tian and Su Bingxin realized that their future growth and opportunities within the sect depended on their performance in these battles.
Because the higher the rank of the discipline, the higher the resources that would be allocated to them, allowing them to cultivate and advance their skills at a faster pace.
Additionally, a higher rank would grant them access to exclusive training grounds and secret techniques that were only available to the top disciples.
Chen Tian and Su Bingxin knew that if they wanted to rise through the ranks and gain recognition, they would have to train harder.
On his way here, Chen Tian could sense that there were many disciplines in the Meridian Opening Realm; there were even disciplines in the Foundation Establishment Realm, which was a great number compared to the sect in the Tevat Continent.
The competition among the outer disciples was fierce, with everyone striving to prove their worth and secure a place in the coveted inner part of the sect.
