Instructor Assignments!

Qin Ze was the first to come downstairs. The moment he arrived, Yan Renyi and the others immediately fixed their eyes on him.

Sensing that he was being watched, Qin Ze slowed his steps. He did not know these people, but seeing that they seemed to be waiting for someone, they were clearly the ones whose names had been called over the broadcast earlier.

Qin Ze stood quietly to one side and waited without saying a word.

Yan Renyi and the others looked Qin Ze over a few more times. They knew his specific details—or rather, every High Official in the entire Outer Hall knew about him.

For no other reason than his Innate Full Soul Power.

What a pity. This genius can't be assigned under me!

The same thought arose in all five of their minds.

Tap, tap, tap!

As Qin Ze came downstairs, countless footsteps soon began to sound from the upper floors.

One, two... more and more people hurried downstairs. They also noticed Yan Renyi and the others, but they did not ask questions and obediently stood to the side.

Once all one hundred people had come down, Yan Renyi counted them. Seeing that the number was correct, he nodded and said, "Now, follow us in an orderly manner to the Outer Hall training rooms. That is where you will study and cultivate for the next year."

After speaking, Yan Renyi led the way down a small path.

Seeing this, the hundred or so people followed in an orderly fashion.

On their first day at the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, everyone was excited. What they did not know was that the assessment results one year later would determine whether they could truly remain in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

In less than ten minutes, Yan Renyi led everyone to a flat area in front of a building with a small artificial pond.

The building was four stories tall and white, and it was very quiet inside.

"This is the training building. You can think of it as a school's classrooms, and the five of us are your teachers. Next, we will divide the hundred of you into five groups of twenty," Yan Renyi explained slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a cylinder out of his Soul Tool. It contained many lots, each wrapped with a small sticker. The stickers came in five colors, clearly corresponding to the five teachers.

"Come on, step forward one at a time and draw," Yan Renyi continued.

The child standing closest to Yan Renyi stepped forward and took one of the lots.

Very soon, all one hundred people had finished drawing lots.

Qin Ze looked at his own lot. Its sticker was blue.

Next, Yan Renyi and the others introduced themselves.

The five teachers were Yan Renyi, Yu Ying, Ma Huihuang, Min Yingshi, and Tu Chunmiao.

They all had one thing in common: every one of them was a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse!

In the end, Qin Ze was assigned to Yu Ying's group.

Once the groups had been assigned, Yu Ying did not waste any words and directly led her team to the second floor of the building.

Yu Ying led the somewhat nervous group to a cultivation room on the second floor.

Once they entered, a group of people inside the cultivation room looked over.

There had already been people inside. There were not many, only around ten.

Qin Ze raised an eyebrow. He saw someone he knew.

Wu Feng!

As Yu Ying led everyone inside, Wu Feng noticed Qin Ze as well.

Their gazes collided in midair.

"Hmph!" Wu Feng snorted inwardly. It was because of this person that she had fallen for her grandfather's trick yesterday. Now she could only study seriously and could no longer sneak off to play.

Qin Ze: "??"

Yu Ying turned to the group and said, "Find an empty seat below and sit down. If you have any questions later, ask me."

"Yes!" everyone hurriedly replied.

Qin Ze found a seat by the window. From there, he could see the artificial pond outside, and the air was better as well.

After everyone had taken their seats, Yu Ying said, "You can call me Instructor. Right now, you come from two groups: disciples directly admitted through the Sect's families, and disciples admitted through the Promotion Tournament. Here, you will study management, practical combat, Martial Soul cultivation, and a whole range of other knowledge. Of course, if any of you are interested in Soul Tools, you can apply to transfer to the Soul Tool Hall later."

Everyone nodded.

"By the way, let me tell you something. The disciples directly admitted by the Sect have only recently awakened their Martial Souls. None of them are Soul Masters yet," Yu Ying said.

"Huh?" The nineteen members of the blue group were all stunned.

Yu Ying said, "Most of you are around eight years old, and some of you are nearly nine already, while they are only six. The reason you have been placed together is that the knowledge you need to learn starts from the same point, so there is no need to separate you."

"I heard there will be an assessment competition in a year. Will they take part too?" someone asked.

"No," Yu Ying said directly. "The assessment competition is for disciples who entered the Sect through the Promotion Tournament. The winners will receive substantial rewards. As for the consequences of failure, the Soul Fighting Arena should have explained them to you when you arrived. Although directly admitted disciples will not participate in the assessment, if they fail future cultivation inspections, they will be sent directly to an outpost. Only those with greater strength can remain in the main Sect. If you think that is unfair, you can ask how many ancestors of the directly admitted disciples failed their inspections and were sent away."

Hearing Yu Ying's answer, everyone silently considered it before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

The reason for their concern was that from four thousand years ago until five hundred years ago, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had always recruited disciples through direct admission from Sect families. It was only after a Sect Master proposed recruiting additional disciples that the rules changed. One of the current guardian elders, Mad Saber Douluo, had joined through the Promotion Tournament.

Directly admitted disciples were clearly trusted more, since their families had served as members of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for generations. Although no one could guarantee that traitors would never emerge, they were still different from those recruited halfway through.

This was a sect built in the form of a family, not an academy where people came and went!

"Any other questions?" Yu Ying asked.

"No!" everyone replied.

Seeing this, Yu Ying nodded and smiled. "Good. Over the next year, different types of instructors will teach you various things. Besides studying, do not forget to cultivate as well—especially the directly admitted disciples. If your inspection results fail to meet the standard one year from now, you can only leave Nine Treasures City and go directly to an outpost to receive assignments."

"Understood!" The directly admitted disciples also felt a sense of urgency. Some of them had older brothers or sisters, and they had seen their siblings leave the main Sect after failing inspections.

Even people from the Inner Hall could not escape this. As long as their talent was lacking, they would be sent away. No one could break this rule, not even the Sect Master's children.

Time passed quickly. Yu Ying explained many things, and as noon arrived, it was time to rest. The disciples could manage this period themselves, as lessons were only scheduled for the morning.

Starting tomorrow, instructors would arrive.
