Lin Feng looked at the first gold sect entry he had drawn, excitement showing on his face.
One Day Like a Year-one day in the outside world was a year inside the sect. While disciples of other sects cultivated for a day, his sect's disciples would have cultivated for a year!
How could other sects compete with his?
Even if the disciples his sect recruited in the future were less talented than those of the top sects, with the Entry System and the sect entry One Day Like a Year, he would crush them sooner or later!
This gold sect entry was truly crucial!
Lin Feng immediately chose to equip this entry to his Evergreen Sect.
[Current sect level: mortal sect. Only one sect entry can be equipped. Upon advancing to a Qi refining sect, a second entry slot will be unlocked. Confirm equipping the gold entry [One Day Like a Year]?]
Lin Feng chose to confirm.
The instant he equipped it, Lin Feng sensed that time flowed 365 times faster inside the sect than outside. A year inside the sect was only a day in the outside world!
Next, Lin Feng entered the sect as his incarnation, Sect Master Tiancan Tudou, wanting to test whether his Entry System could continue drawing entries under the accelerated time within the sect.
Time flew inside the sect, and a week passed in the blink of an eye, but the Entry System still could not draw a new entry.
It seemed his attempt to exploit a system bug would not work.
He could only obediently draw one sect or personal entry a day under the normal flow of time.
After Lin Feng left the sect, he received a server-wide announcement from Sect World:
[Server-wide announcement: the first week's competition in Sect World No. 999 has officially begun. This week's competition: a contest of recruited disciples' aptitude.] [For every disciple recruited with a five-element mixed spiritual root, points +1; for every disciple recruited with a low-grade spirit root, points +5; for every disciple recruited with a middle-grade spirit root, points +20; for every disciple recruited with a high-grade spirit root, points +60; for every disciple recruited with a supreme-grade spirit root, points +300; for every disciple recruited with a heavenly spiritual root, points +1,000; for every disciple recruited with an immortal spiritual root, points +10,000.] [After one week, ranking rewards will be distributed according to points.] [Rewards for the first week's recruited disciples' aptitude competition are as follows: 1st place: High-Grade Spirit Root Marrow-Cleansing Jade ×1, Ancient Spirit-Guiding Platform Construction Blueprint ×1, high-grade Spirit Stones ×100. 2nd place: High-Grade Spirit Root Marrow-Cleansing Jade ×1, high-grade Spirit Stones ×50. 3rd place: High-Grade Spirit Root Marrow-Cleansing Jade ×1, high-grade Spirit Stones ×20. 4th-10th place: Mid-Grade Spiritual Root Marrow-Cleansing Jade ×3, mid-grade Spirit Stones ×500. 11th-100th place: Mid-Grade Spiritual Root Marrow-Cleansing Jade ×2, mid-grade Spirit Stones ×300. Top 10%: Low-Grade Spiritual Root Marrow-Cleansing Jade ×2, mid-grade Spirit Stones ×100. Top 30%: Low-Grade Spiritual Root Marrow-Cleansing Jade ×1, mid-grade Spirit Stones ×50. Top 50%: low-grade Spirit Stones ×2,000. Top 80%: low-grade Spirit Stones ×500. Those ranked outside the top 80% will receive no competition rewards. [High-Grade Spirit Root Marrow-Cleansing Jade: can cleanse the spirit roots of those whose aptitude is below a high-grade spirit root, raising them to a high-grade spirit root. The same principle applies to marrow-cleansing jade of other grades.] [Ancient Spirit-Guiding Platform: actively draws in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the spiritual essence of earth veins within a hundred-li radius, compressing, purifying, and converting them within the platform into highly concentrated, pure spiritual essence, which radiates throughout the sect's entire territory, directly increasing the sect's Spiritual Qi concentration.]
Lin Feng looked at the first-place rewards for the first week's recruited disciples' aptitude competition, deeply tempted.
The Ancient Spirit-Guiding Platform's function was far too powerful. If the first week's winner obtained its construction blueprint and successfully built the Ancient Spirit-Guiding Platform, barring any unexpected developments, they would retain first place in the second week's competition.
Unfortunately, judging by previous cohorts, even after the trading house opened, gathering all the materials needed to build the Ancient Spirit-Guiding Platform would be extremely difficult.
Even so, it was still enough to make the many top sects fight until their heads split.
As the rules and rewards for the first week's competition appeared, Sect World's chat channel instantly heated up.
[Server 999 Sect World chat channel.] [Myriad Ages Sect Master: brothers, the rewards haven't changed from previous cohorts. I'll reserve a spot in the top hundred first!] [Limitless Sect Master: unworthy though I am, I've already recruited two disciples with high-grade spirit roots into my sect. Currently ranked 8th on the server!] [Azure Luan Sect Master: this little lady has been quite lucky. My sect started with several disciples of decent aptitude. Currently in 2nd place.] [Golden Armor Sect Master: my Golden Armor Sect actually made it into the top 30%. I hope I can hold on to that seven days from now!]
Countless sect masters began chatting enthusiastically in the server chat channel, showing off their current rankings.
Lin Feng also spotted two familiar sects among them.
The Azure Luan Sect should be Lin Wan'er's sect. As expected of an S-rated sect, even if it recruited no new disciples over these seven days, it could still secure a place in the top hundred!
The other was the Supreme Strength Sect, Lin Daqiang's sect. He outright declared in the server chat channel that he would make it into the top hundred!
These two were both fairly well-known awakeners of top sects at their Spirit City High School, and Lin Feng had heard the names they planned to give their sects, so he recognized them at a glance.
Lin Feng checked his own ranking. Outside the top 80%, with no ranking rewards for the time being.
With not a single disciple in his sect, he was not surprised to be outside the top 80%.
The recruited disciples' aptitude points leaderboard only displayed the top hundred sects, along with their ratings.
The sects on the points leaderboard as soon as it opened were almost uniformly rated A or above.
When they awakened their sects, there had already been a few disciples with superior aptitude within them.
Lin Feng wondered what those top sect masters would think if, seven days later, his sect surged into the top hundred and they saw that his Evergreen Sect was rated only E.
At that thought, Lin Feng hesitated no longer and prepared to head down the mountain to search nearby villages and towns for suitable disciples.
Compared with the other sect masters, Lin Feng could see everyone's entry information, allowing him to find disciples with cultivation talent more precisely.
Then Lin Feng rode the wind away. This was a special ability granted to a sect master; even though he currently had no cultivation, he could still travel on the wind.
